On Tuesday delegates from other stat es
and different sections of Texas will meet in
Fort Worth to devise plans for a worthy
exhibit in all departments of the wonderful
resources of this state. Among the mem
bcrs assembled there win be a number of
ladies. and ii dovolves upon the women of
this city to see 10 it that their reception is
hearty and worthy. The committees have
appealed to the ladies to assist in the floral
seroration Of the opera house and also 10

deavorS have been thwarted by the workers
themselves. who from incompetency or
want of harmonious concerted action have
frustrated wen designed plans for their
emancipation. y comparatively new in
dustry. and one that has grown most rap
idly is typewriting. 1t Is calculated that
there are now in New York and Brooklyn
not less than GOO typcwriters. So great a
number naturally beGets sharp competition
and low prices for this kind of labor This
has led to an organization that has not so
much for its object the increase Of WAGES as |

persons wishing TO secure good service can |
obtain skilled typewriters, and the rate of |
wages will be justly fixed. L IS amattcr to |

nor the business college turn out girls who |
can spell correctly, puntcuate accurately |
