PITTsBURG, Feb. 26.-Several
days ago seven tramps were arrested
at Beardstown, Pa, but two were
afterward discharged for want of
evidence. The tramps still in Jail
have been identified as members of
a gang that has been operating in
Western Pennsylvania and Eastern
Ohio for four months, and in that
time have stolen nearly 500, 900 worth
of goods and destroyed fully
$40, 900 worth of property. There
are twenty-five or thirty men in the
gang, and it is believed that one of
the men discharged is James Byman,
of Newhaven, Conn, a safe blower
and bank robber. The other is
known as "Newhaven Jimmy" He
is supposed to be member of the
notorious Kensington gang, that,
years ago, broke the Kensington

The evolution Of the Handkerch,ef.

The authorities are neither clear
nor in harmony as regards the his
tory of the handkerchief, known
popularly in English as the pocket
handkerchief. The etymoloey of the
name is nevertheless sufficiently
clear. The last syllable comes from
the old French chief, meaning head !;
the syllable skier" is from the French
eouvier, to cover, while the prefxes
"hand" and pocket" were applied
when the article began to change its
medieval use Of head covering and

cency which it is at present.

chef, or chief, came over to England

A BIG SEA BASS.
A Fish Seven Feet in Length and weiching
-Four Hundred Pounds.

Fish Seven Feet in Length and Weighing
-Four Hundred Pounds.
A large crowd on the noon ferry
boat collected about one of the trunk
carts, attracted by a huge and queer
hsh that was extended along the
frame of the truck. To every ap-
pearance the fish belonged to the
trout family and was judged to be a
freak in size. One of the curious
lookers-on measured the length of
the monster and found it to be
nearly seven feet, while the greatest
breadth about the Eody was three
and half feet. The scales ap-
peared very much like pieces of
abalone shell, but were ductile and
semi-transparent.
By and by the inevitable know all
came along and he explained the
wonder to the crowd. The sea leyia-
than was species of the black sea
bass, and by all odds the largest of
It's kind ever captured on this coast
Its weight was about 400 pounds. 1t
was captured off the Catalin Islands.

through its enormous mouth attested

mems of this fish are brought up
rom the Santa Barbara and sold to

4 gifted woman is in our midst, a
strong, progressive, independent wo-
man-a thinker and worker. I refer
to Mrs. Emily Verdery Battey.
Twensy years experience on the New
| York press has given her a great fund
Of information and that knowledge Of
human nature which lends to life
work its force and It's Grue coloring.
Personally Mrs. Battey is very attrac-
tive. She is animated aDd enter
tanning. Her countenance is remark
! ably sweet and of satisfying intellec-
tuaIity. Her voice and manners are
alike, gentle and cultivated.
Mrs. Battey is an evolved thinker,
and a journalist in the highest accept
| ance of the term. She has written and
written we'll on all the leading subjects
of the day, and the readers of the lead
ing daily and weeklies Of New York
have felt the influences Of her earnest
ness and strength.
Editorial articles, reports, correspon-
dence and descriptive writings are
among the possibilities Of her gifted
pen.
| In the words of Mr.. Dana, "She has
invariably proved herself intelligent
and efficient" In the language of Mr..
McCabe, Mrs. Battey is the female
nestor Of the New York press"
| In the midst of her Numerous repor-
| torial duties this brave worker has
given much thought to the advancing
of women. She is the promoter and
pronuIgator of a new organization for
women, which has taken the name of
the Silver Cross club.
The object of this club is Of a varied
and highly practical nature. 1t aims
to lessen the expenses and difficulties
of life for its members and to increase
| the comfort, facilities and properties in
every way consistent with the oppor-
tunities and duties Of a Christian wo-
man.
1t is intended to bea proprietary club.
In this respect it claims to be different
from any of the various organizations OF
women now in existence.
Mrs. Battey said in any interview
the other day that long years of eXpe-
rience with the various classes of work
ing-women has taught her the utter
futility of the much-talked-of plan Of
woman's hotel or apartment house.
She thinks that a club Of five hundred
good women can cooperate for each
| others benefit, and at the fame time
aid their outside sisters. She advocates
the formation of Silver Cross clubs for
women in every city in the States.
| These she thinks should be co-opera-
tive and proprietary in their charac-
ters.

The women referred to are those Oh
the middle and higher classes, who are

She is tall and slender, her hair IS OF

supplies the needs of family:
'.She is only SIXTEEN" said my friend

gown of mine last week, and when she

and it fell with its shower ofwhlte lace
against her face 1t seemed that the
gown should be hers instead OF mlne." "
True, every girl is not beautiful, nor
is every employer so tender hearted
but sewing out by the day is far better
for the average girl than clerklng IN a
store or folding ENVELOPES, and there Is a
surprising large demand in Atlanta Tor

I know young girl who las the
ability to do this successfully, and II
the need should ever come to her, |
hope she will not hesitate to use her
skill. Does not this suggest to some an
avenue?
The person Mrs. Harland wrote OF
had served an apprenticeship with
milliner. She brought with her always
the popular shapes Of the season, and
would not furnish materials as desired.
She charged three dollars per day,
and could easily trim three hars in that
time.
What is to prevent women from su-
perintending the weekly house clean
ings, which task the mistresses of large
houses would delight to escape from
y, could competent persons be found to
take charge of it for them. They could
also manage the refreshments at enter
taiuments They could arrange the
! decorations and make themselves ln-
valuable at all social functions, without
in the least compromising their digni-
ty or descending to the labors of a do
nestle.
Custom in such business as this
would be very easy to obtain. Go and
see some OF the prominent ladies of the
city, tell them of the duties you wish
to undertake for them, and ask them to
speak to their friends Of you, exert
yourself tc in every way give satisfac-
ton, and you will soon find yourself
with growing reputation.
Many objections are urged by the
wage carriers against the branches OF
labor that they are advised to adopt.
Some cannot be done unless you leave
your home, others are not genteel.
Some are not fitting for a refined girl,
and still others again are too ardu-
Gus for the strength OF delicate wo-
man.
None of these complaints can be
made against the occupantions sug-
gested above, and those women who
have the tact and taste to undertake
them are indeed fortunate.
