The women worlds Fair visitors.

Under the direction Of the board Of
lady managers, especially Of Mrs. Potter
Palmer, the president, has been organ
lied the Womens Dormitory associa-
ton, the object Of which is TO furnish
cheap and comfortable living quarters
during the exposition to women visitors,
particularly those of the industrial class
and of limited means Four huge hotels
or dormitories viii be erected. The site
for one Of them has been donated by
George NJ. Pullman. 1t is a square only
two blocks and half from the northern
entrance to the exposition grounds. This
dormitory will be 450 by $50 feet, built
in eight sections, so that there shall be
no inside rooms, and will have a capac-
ity of 200 persons daily. The rooms
will be varied in size, and plainly but
neatly furnished. II is estimated that
100, 900 women visitors will be accom-
modated during the fair. The associa-
ton is selling $4,000 Of stock, in shares
of $40 each, TO enable it TO carry out the
project. Each share entities the holder
to its face value in room and lodging al
the rate Of thirty cents a day, and most
Of the stock is already taken.

early days. In 1858 or 1859 he became a
carrier for The Stats Zeitung, then pub
lished by Captain George Schneider, and
studied law at the same time under Pro-
fessor, afterward Judge Booth. Suisse
quently he became collector for Ogden,
Fleetwood 81 Co., but soon gave up that
position TO go the front for his adopted
country. On the 10th of April, 1861, he
enlisted In the Lincoln infantry for nine
ty days. AS soon as that period Of serv-
ice was completed he enlisted with the
Twenty-fourth Illinois. He served with
that regiment during the war and was
mustered out as captain. While attend
ing to his military duties he managed to
furnish the war correspondence for The
Stats Zeitung, and when peace was re-
stored he became city editor of that
paper. In 1866 he was appointed clerk
Of the county court and served till 1869,
when he entered ON the practice Of law.
He has been an eminently successful
practitioner. Captain Woke served one
term on the board of education when
Mr.. Heath was mayor. He is q great
student and is master Of many languages.
He has published volume of English

WHY BUTLER RAN.

In the notice of Gen. BUFFERS book
in Sundays GLOBE allusion was had to
his admission that his effort in his per-
sonal candidacy in 1884 was the defeat
of the Democratic ticket. 1t will be re-
membered that he had a nomination
from the Labor party. He does not pro-
feSs to have been greatly concerned
about the principles of the element
that gave him the nomination. His
candidacy was not in the interest of the
organizations that he was made the rep
resentative Of. He was playing part
for the benefit of the Republican party.
He hoped to elect BLAINE, and says he
''labortd asSiduously through the cam
paign to this end.n His "only hope"
was ito draw enough votes from the
Democratic party in the state of
New York to prevent its throwing its
vote for CLEVELAND" This was a
reasonable expectation, as BUTLER was
in high favor at the time with the labor
ing elements in the Democratic party
in New York, and had the support of
the New York Sun, which, as now,
claim to be Democratic paper. 1t was
widely read by the workingmen. and
presumed to have great influence. 1t
claimed, in fact, that BUTLER would
nearly divide the Democratic vote of
the city with CLEVELAND. No per-
ceptible effect was had upon the ballot
by it's advocacy, but the paper lost It's
place as Democrat and has never been
able to regain it. The Republican pa
pers that quote it as a Democratic
authority mislead their credulous read
erS.

MAY REPORT THEM.

The New York legislature has elImi-
mated from the capital punishment law
the provisions excluding reporters at
the executions. The example will I'M
doubtedly be followed IN other states
that have adopted the absurd idea. 1t
is well-meaning, and had some sort OF
expectation that it would prevent the
publication of details that are presumed
to have all unwholesome effect upon a
class of individuals. A haif-ceptury or
so ago it would have served the purpose
contemplated by the legislators, bat
that time has long passed. The press
was but a promising infant then as a
news gatherer, and could be readily
shut out by iron doors. Now stone
walls and barred doors but in
cite to larger gatherings. The
restraining statute was a dead letter in
that state, as it is elsewhere. The news
graphic pictures of the scenes attending
the executions from the fact that it was
made by the law species of contra
band news. Possibly there was greater
mental effort, and some of the details
were less verltable. but the alleged OBJ
jects of the law were in no measure
promoted. The need of accurate in
formation in this matteris much greater
in New York state than elsewhere. as
electrocution is still on trial. and there
is some conflict of opinion as
to the efficiency and humanity of
the method. The opposition to
it has been actuated more, it
IS believed, by interest and prejudice
than any high concern for the public
welfare or the physical comfort of the
persons practiced upon. 1t is noticea-
bic, however. that, while an obnoxious
side feature is removed. there is no at
tempt in the legislature to return to the
use of the rope in place Of the wire. 1t
is probable that the accurate and truth
full accounts of these adjustments by
electric force will remove much of the
distrust and prejudice with which they
are now viewed. Science has but to
guide the fatal force with skill and art
to cause it to neatly and quickly do the
work without the brutality and coarse
ness of the gallows.

clerks deposit fund. After an en-
ploye in the classified service has been
assessed In this way for five years, the
amount equaling 10 per cent OF his sal
airy tor that time. he shall be put OH the
retired list. The Incidental provisos are
that he has been in the civil
or partly military or naval service
for thirty years, and have become
mentally or physically disqualified
for duty. On this retired list he is to
receive from the deposit fund in
monthly payments sum equal to rs per
cent of the salary he was being paid at
the date of retirement, the maximum
being 500 per month. Should the bill
become law. it would be insisted that
the salaries should be Increased the 10
per cent diverted 10 the fund. There is
no doubt that law OF this kind would
comfortably meet some unfortunate ext
gencies, and i'll some of the European
systems would not be greatly out of
place. Its tendency is to keep men in
he grades affected by the civil service
in office for life and build up an office
holding arstocraey. 1t is probably true
that the departments at Washington are
largely filled with persons who have
lost what little capacity they may have
had for success in the enterprises of
private life. The routine there is cal
culated to unfit them for other stations.
Instances are numerous in which. on
being thrown out of the clerkShipS long
held, they are helpless and go to wreck.
The lesson of such examples is that
they have held Office too long. 1t does
not appear why those who hold offices
under the government, which are pre-
sumably as well paid as other business
positions the iucumbents are qualified to
fill, should be more entitled to pensions
than any class of clerks in private bust
ness. The country is not in the mood
for anything that looks like extension
of the pension business out of the mill
tary range.

There is no longer any doubt that

1t MAKES TROuRLE

Handsome and fascinating sisters of
wives have often been disturbing ele-
mentS in families where the husband is
young and with an eye for the artistic
In female economy. But in a case in
Massachusetts the brother of the hus-
band has been the troublesome agency.
CHARLES BRADLEY has had two wives,
and his brother has elOped with beth of
them. This, when repeated, had rather
an unfraternal aspect, as there was no
reason to believe that the husband was
dissatisfied with either of his matri-
monial ventures and had any collision
with his brother. 1t is not surprising
that BRADLEY the occasional benedict
allowed his anger to swell into harsh
speech to his brother. Still, there was
no malicious motive in the elope-
ments, or desire to harrow up the feel
ingS of the married brother. 1t was
simply a habit. He had eloped with
other mems wives. in one case serving
term in the penitentiary as result.
That the unmarried brother had un-
usual charms was evident, or he could
not have so bewitched the wives who
came into his radiance. 1t was not his
fault that he was handsome and the
women weak; but tits an Objectionable
habit to fall into to elope with broth

A WRONG MEAsURE

The civil service law has been assaiIed
on the ground that it tended to create
an officeholding class, unbeeoming to a
democratic government. In a govern
ment of the people all should have
equal opportunities to fill Its positions.
How far there is any validity to this
point, or to what extent it may be ap-
piled to the civil service regimen as it
exists, is not now considered. There
is room for criticism on any features
that palpably tend to the recognition of
a special class aligned to public place.
A bill introduced by Mr.. AMBER
SON of West Virginia, IN the
house. appears to come within the
obnoxious range. 1t contemplates
