Grievances of Women in the GOvernmen Mail Rag Repair shop.


 Mail BAg Repair shop.
 WASHINGTON, April 30.-A delegation of women employed in the Government mail bag repair shop appeared before the House Committee on Postoffices and Postroads under the ciceronage of MrA, Charlotta Smith and told of grievances which they asked to be remedied. |
 They told the committee that the cam vas bags which were sent to the shop for repairs were often covered with tobacco juice and other filth, and some of the women to whom they were given became sick while at work.
 This necessitated the spresense of a doctor, and his fee of g materially re- duced the amount of wages earned by the women who became i'll. It was shown that only 1-2 cents was paid for mending each bag, and in this connec- tion it was stated that 80 women who had appealed to Superintendent Bell foR an increase to cents per bag were dis- missed from service, the reason given for their dismissal being that the appro. priation was exhausted.
 Some of them earned less than $10 pes month. An earnest appeal to the co mr mittee was made

FARMING IN CONNECTICUT.
Secretary T. s. Colds Pamphlet Made
 Public,

Secretary T. s. Colds Pamphlet Made Public.
 Secretary T. S. Gold, who has been gathering details as to the Connecticut farms for sale, has published a pam- phlet in which he says: EaH x,.ssxa
 Some farms have been abandoned be- cause from location or otherwise, they ought to be abandoned; their legitimate use W as for growing wood and timber, rather than for general farming. The diversion of travel and the removal of small business centers and small manu- featuring industries have csused some property once occupied to be no longer in demand. In other cases the owners have preferred to let houses and lands remain unoccupied-"abando as far as occupancy is concerned-rather than to be at the expense of repairs to hG the place for tenant, or even to per suade themselves to a sale to some chance customer who might offer.
 Our expressed opinion that such cases are rare of abandoned farms'' in Con necticut has been confirmed by the re- ports returned to this office. Many read, "No abandoned farms in this town;" others, "No farms for sale in this town"
 But, when we set aside these two classes-the abandoned farms" and the townships where there are none, or where there are no farms for sale-we find that there are a large number of farms in every degree of desirability and condition of culture and buildings which are for sale at very low prices, in proportion to the cost of the buildings and fences, expended even in a very few years.
 By counties the returns show the fol. lowing interesting facts: 8Hartford county-For sale, 40 farms total area, 3,368 acres. Greatest num- Der for sale in town, Berlin 7, Burling. ton, 5.

The president was so well satisfied with
the public events OF this week, both tor
eigu and domestic, that he wanted to 60

sible to get away. The diplomatic victory
won by him from Lord Salisbury was a
vindication Of the vigorous foreign policy

this administration, and the whold world
now understands that the United States is
no longer good country to try to impose
upon. So much for foreign affairs.
The vote of the senate on the ratitica-

able for two things, the unusually large
number OF senators voting, seventy.two,

NIrRo-GLYcERlNE HEADACHE.


What Causes It and the General Effects
of II Single Whin of Nitro.
"a nitro-glycerine headache will
make n man about as uncomfortable
under his hat as anything / know Of"
said an oil producer from Bradford, Pa,
to group of men who were discussing
the sensational attempts upon Russell
Sage's life, among whom was n Phila-

n man imagine he is just getting over
the effects of night with the boys.
Nitro-glycerine, as you may know, is
utilized very extensively in the oil
country for shooting oil wells. Hun
dreds of tons of the explosive are used
every year, and the men who manu-
facture it and torpedo wells would make
a small army If they were all turned
loose together. The business they fol-
low, too, is about as dangerous as the
military business in war times, for not
year passes that a dozen or more
shooters, as the men who torpedo the
wells are called, do not get blown up.
Nitro-glycerine goes off at n very slight
shock, or at contact with FIRE, and in the
oil country the man who handles gly-
cerine is looked upon as an unfortunate
being with one foot in the grave. The
chances are ten TO one that If he sticks
TO the business long enough he will be
blown up.
"A nitro-glycerine headache is caused
by the smell Of the nitric and sulphuric
acids which are used in making the
explosive. Sweet glycerine oil, as
everyone knows, is a very harm
less liquid, but when subjected 10
the action Of the two acids named the
resulting milk-like fluid is the most
deadly explosive agent known. Men
who make nitro-glycerine are at first
subject to these terrific headaches, but

come acclimated TO the smell, II such

they knock of work for day or two

blacksmith who was repairing nitro
glycerine wagon in the oil country one
day, when there was loud explosion
and the wagon was literally taken all
apart and scattered about his shop. A
few drops Of glycerine had leaked from
the cans and lodged in the framework
of the wagon. Strange to relate, the
blacksmith escaped injury, but he at
once hung up in his window little
card upon which was written in a
sledge-hammer hand: NO nitro-glycer-
