BRUssELs, Aug. 23.-The delegates to the
international socialists workmen's congress
were entertained at Ghent to-day. The
proposal that the next congress be held in
Chicago in 1892 was withdrawn on account
of the difficulty of organizing for the occa-
sion.
IL was decided to iutrust the Swiss labor
party with the organizing of the next con-
gress TO be held in 1898.
THE NEXT CONGRESS.
A committee appointed to consider the
question of the time and place of the next

passage over the Atlantic would debar the
consideration OK the Chicago proposal, but
they hoped that few European delegates
might bs enabled to attend an American
congress, as American delegates had at

in the committees decision, thanked the
committee for the suggestion in regard to
an American congress, and moved a reso-

Here we have six cases of increase,
two of decrease and seven showing no
change. The dealers who told the lady
referred to by our correspondent that
prices had advanced from 80 to 35 per
cent. were, without doubt, trying to de-
ceive her. The changes that have taken
place in the carpet market indicate no
more than normal fluctuations in trade,
except so far as they have been caused
by the increase that was mady in the
duties on carpet woods, and about which
there was good deal of difference Of
opinion. Even these duties, however,
will probably operate as most other
duties have in the past, to repeal them
selves in actual practice, by promoting
larger domestic supply and lower prices.
Prices in all lines Of commerce are con-
tinually changing in obedience to the

This is equivalent to 5,649,600 days
labor This, at an average of $3.50 per
day, would be equivalent to l4,1s4, 0L0
paid out in wages. The fact that the
declared value of the amount of tin:
plate above named was SaS, S25, 295 will
show that my estimate is probably far
below the mark. l think itwould be
fair to assume that fully twenty thou
sand people would be given employment
directly if the amount of tinplate
named were made in this country, and
more than four times this number of
people given employment indirectly.
1t would be useless to discuss the sig
nificance of these figures or to point
out what it would mean to the furnace,
ore, coal, coke and rolling mill indus
tries to have the manufacture of tin
plate established in this country, and to
produce here the amount of product
that was imported in the twelve months
ending April so, 1891. There is not an
industry named to which the demand
for its product that would come with
the establishment of the tinplate in
dustry would not mean vastly more
than the tonnage demanded would i'm
ply. A demand for $50, 600 tons of pig
iron in addition to the present demand
would be the turning point between
prosperity and success. 1t is not the
regular and constant demand for q
product that determines its price and
makes times good. 1t is the added and
unusual or increased demand. This

The Wonderful Prosperity of Hartman,

No better object lesson of the sue
cess of temperance and prohibition can
be seen than in the town of Hartman,
Tenn. The East Tennessee Land Com
pany was formed little more than a
year ago. The late Gen. Fisk was its
president and nearly all of its officers
and the members of the directory and
executive committee were temperance
men and prohibitionists. The town of
Hartman was established by this com
pany founded on prohibition. The first
sale of town lots was held last Feb
ruary. At that time the only build
ings there were one or two old build
ings used as farmhouses. and few tenn
porary shanties erected especially to
accommodate the people attending the
sale since that time, only about nine
months.

were cornields and primeval forests.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS.

Tho Reasons Why Some Who Are Fussy
DO Not Meet With Success.
I am convinced that one secret Of
woman's comparative lack of success in
business careers lies in the fact of her
business. Women are so easily
wrought upon by triAes. The least
criticism annoys them, and every little
mole-hill assumes the proportions of an
Alpine peak. They expect the amenities
Of the drawing-room in the business
Office, and are ready to greet with a
sharp tongue the appearance Of any
man who approaches their desk with
his hat on, or works in their presence
in his shirt sleeves. Of course these re-
marks do not apply to all women who
work in business capacities; there are
large-natured women filing spheres Of
usefulness to-day whose Judgment and
discretion equal that of any man who
writes himself down as a success. I
only write Of the aippant feather-heads
who fill positions of more or less i'm
portance in the great work-a-day world,
and bring their sex into disfavor by
petty and womanish modes of do
ing business. Now there is a vast
difference between womanliness and
womanishness. You must preserve
the latter and get rid Of the former, my
young woman friend, If you wish to
make your calling, either as clerk,
teacher, saleswoman or professional, a
success Cultivate the one as you cul-
tivate geranium slips for your winter
garden, but weed out the other as you
weed out pussley from your strawberry
patch. Do not expect parlor amenities
in business life. Expect and command
respect wherever you 60, but let the
chivalrous observances 60. Do not be
indignant because a man questions you
as to business point, or rides with you
in an elevator with his hat on; remem.
Der that you have passed out into q
broad plane of universal equality when
you enter a business career, where
the graceful and pretty observances o!

hat on means no disrespect by so do
ing; he is simply recognizing you upor

Tho fact that . girl fresh from the
shores Of foreign country may come
over here, step into and dominate the
home life, is o reproach upon the intel
ligence of the women OF the time. a
knowledge of what is required IN the
labor employed is of no great import
ance, for woman may be able to do
all the various branches of work in
volved in the art of housekeeping, and
have the highest ideals as to the stcnd-
ard of her household, and yet be sub
jected to the same annoying conditions
that cmbarrass her less intelligent
neighbor. In the present condition OF
affairs housekeepers are ut the mercy
of servants, and those women are hap
piest who live in way to require the
least service.
The great question for women to
study is how homes may be retained
without the friction and waste of ma
terial and nerve force that attends
housekeeping at the present time. OF
course advocates of cooperative house
keeping claim that scheme as panacea
for present difficulties. No system has
yet been advanced in that line that does
not eliminate the distinctive pleasures
of the home life. Dinners brought in
from central kitchen will never be
equal to those prepared in a private
kitchen. Each family has its own tastes
and fancies, and it is the indulgence Of
these that gives the home cooking the
advantage over any other. Housekeep-
ing must be reduced to a science, and
the laws governing other branches Of
industry applied, and it is the college
women who will take up the work,
study cause and effect and lead the
way to method that shall remove the
reproach now cast upon women, that
before they enter the professions here
tofore monopolized by men, they would
better find way to more successfully
conduct affairs belonging to their own
peculiar province.-Springfeld Mass

The Use OF Alcoholic Beverages Constant
ly on the Increase.
The receipts from the tax upon dis
titled liquors in France indicate that
the use Of Intoxicating beverages cop
tanning large percentage of alec hollis
constantly on the increase. There was
time, not many years ago, when the
French people confined themselves
very largely to the use of light wines,
and when the traveller in France rarely
encountered an intoxicated person.
Indeed, the statement used frequently
tc be made by writers in this country
that, Judging by experiences in France,
it was safe to say that the effect of the
use of light wines and beer was to
drive out heavy alcoholic liquors, and
that to acquire the taste for these mild
beverages was tantamOunt to acquir-
ing dislike for more potent intOx-
icants. But later experiences tend
to disprove conclusions based upon
! the foregoing line of reasoning, for
within the last few years not
only the French, but the Swiss peo-
pie have shown. marked and grow.
ing disposition to indulge to excess
in distilled drinks having high per-
centage OF alcohol. and in certain parts
of both countries the amount of drunk
enness is increasing with terrible rapid

for this change, the most plausible OF
which is that the cheap processes OF DIS
tiiiatiou and improved methods -
transportation have provided oppor-
tunities that did not previously exist
and that it was lack of opportunity
rather than any distaste that in previous
years prevented the use Of strong alco-
holic beverages SO. now that the con.

temperance societies have never made
