training for the work, and up 10 the
present women have not entered into
competition with them.
In the work of receiving and send
ing messages women do equally as
good work as men. They may not be
capable of such phenomenal bursts Of
speed as the male telegraphers, but at
the same time extraordinary speed Is
not so much an element of success or
necessity as accuracy and the ability to
maintain a fair average rate. They
perform really creditable work, and
great point in their favor is their relia-
bility. AS yet women have not been-
very successful in the handling Of press
reports. Day and night the Associated
Press and the United Press send many.
thousands of words to the newspapers
in all parts of the country, and the
wires are almost exclusively in charge
of men. The immense amount Of mat
ter to be handled necessitates a very
high rate of speed, forty-eight words
minute being maintained for hours at a
stretch. A woman's strength is hardly
equal to such task. Since the intro
duction of typewriters into telegraph
offices, women have taken kindly to the
machines, and in their use have be-
come proficient The typewriter re,
duces the labor very materially. y.-John

woMAN'S OPPORTUNITIES. !.
She Has Made Herself Indispensable to the
Business World. - tA

Business World. tA
Do the women of to-day realize their
privileges and possibilities. 1t is not
altogether what they have actually ac-
complished, great as that is, but the
opportunities which lie before them and
what the present situation promises
within the next half-century that de-
serve attention. 1.A
Thirty years ago, a woman in busl-
ness office would have been looked upon
not only with suspicion but with posi-
tive disapproval. The fact that she was
there would have been an argumentfor
the worst, put whatever construction
upon it one might. Now the Office in
which women are not employed is al
most novelty. There are several rea-
sons for this. At the outset of this new
regime, women were employed princi-
pally because they could be hired for
less money than men. This state OF
affairs, although not by any means
complimentary to employers, was new
ertheless woman's opportunity. She
found that she could get work, and
trusted to herself and the future to get
proper social and financial recognition.
This she has not yet succeeded in Sc
curing, but it Is only question OF
time She has made herself indis-
pensable, and has obtained footing
that no future combination of circum-
stances will be able to take from her.
Indeed, she is growing right along into
more and more useful work, and she IS
trustworthy, too, as is evident from the
fact that positions of responsibility for
merly occupied only by men are being
given to her. In one country she is
managing the switches on the railroads,
and this, speak it not aloud, because
the men formerly employed in such po-
sitions are SO given to habitual intoxi-
cation that they can not be trusted with
the lives and property of the public.
The woman bookkeeper goes to her
work in the morning clear-headed and
| with steady nerves. She didns play
pool last night or spend her time and
money in the saloon or in performing
that semi-artistic and not altogether
creditable operation known as paint
ing the town red" She went home
probably-that is if she has a home of her
own. May be she helped to wash tina
dishes; perhaps she cooked the supper;
may be she sewed some buttons on
Tommies jacket; perhaps she cut out
some new aprons for the little ones;
possibly her best young man came to
see her, if she had one; but it is fair to
say that the widest dissipation she in
dulged in was dish Of ice cream. She
retired at a seasonable hour and wax
ened in the morning fit for business.
Suppose she did get up early and
spend an hour or so in necessary house
hold duties. That was very much bet
ter than sleeping until the last minuts
to get rid Of the effects Of last nights
outing, as her brother may have had to
do in order to be presentable at the
office
Not that all young men do this by any
means, but even the most prejudiced
persons must admit that girls have
greatly the advantage of boys, as far as
their habits are concerned.-N Z.

UNI LAWFUL AMBITION.
An Example Worthy E~ery Young Amer
leans Emulation.

An Example Worthy E~ery Young Amer
leans Emulation.
Gen, e. S. Grant tells us in his auto
biography:
81 never dared seek promotion. was
afraid if l sought it l might get into
positions whose responsibilities could
not fill. preferred to take promotion
as it came to me, providentialiy."
An utterance characteristic of "the
hammer of the north and worthy OF
highest consideration. There is an am
bition which is laudable, the spur OF
mems best work. the voice which bids
US arise and fulfill our appointed mis-
sion. 1t has called such men as Grant
from the lanyard and Lincoln from his
law-office. And its call was only the
re-echo of that supreme cry. the de-
mand of the sovereign democracy. that
these men should guide the ship of state
through every tempestuous sea, until
she rode once more in the haven of
peace and freedom. They came, they
saw, they conquered.
And when they hadobeyed the voice
which babe them issue from the ranks
of our commonwealth, their work being
ended, one sank into his grave as a
martyr for the public veal, the other
remained behind. in unstudied and sim
pie dignity and greatness, to give the
testimony quoted above.
Our great republic offers to every
young man within its bounds an even
chance. She affords less excuse for
''byways and back alleys to fame, or
rather, notoriety, than any other gov
eminent upon the face of the earth.
Here is the avenue, clearly marked
out. Come forward, competitors, with
noble ideals, high purposes and patient
energy for their accomplishment. Then
is the result SO certain that a man who
can not succeed in public life here may
console himself he would have done in
fnitely worse anywhere else.
But should it not be clearly under
stood that there must be no abuse Of
those inestimable privileges? And. we
are afraid, if understood, it is not al
ways acted upon.
America needs men who will do some
thing for their country, not those who
with unlawful ambition eternally seek
for their country to do something for
them; and in the end, the man who
does not fling away that lust of power
which bids him grasp his own, and not
the public good, will be left a stranded
wreck by the food-tide of popular judg-
ment.
So has it been in numberless instances
in the past. A brilliant career has
gone out into confusion and darkness;
and when the query was made: Why
is this? the answer was: He failed be-
cause he sought the office, and the of
flee sought not him.
The words of Grant are indeed di-
rection toward truest success, which
our young citizens should keenly notice
and inwardly digest.-N. Y. Ledger.

ST.. LOUIS. Aug. 25.-The city this
evening is blaze of light. Along over
six miles of the business streets $4,000
electric and gas lights are shining
through globes of many tints. rroduc-
ing an effect which battles descrip-
ton, and which exceeds in brill
liancy and magnifcence anything
ever seen in modern days or
immortalized by the pens of oriental
poets. The city is-crowded with guests,
and the universal expression of opinion
is that great as is the reputation of ST.
Louis as carnival city, the metropolis
of the west and southwest has annihi-
lated all records this year. In addition
to the countless arches and clusters of
many-colored globes, there are ten
splendid set pieces, in which the latest
triumphs of electricity are displayed.
The most prominent of these is on
Twelfth street, between Washington
avenue and Olive. 1t is great cleo

The subsidy bill met with discredit be-
cause the bounties promised to ship
owners were not large enough to in

larger number of our people the full
rights of American citizenship was ex-
posed.
Now there remains out of this list of

The democrats are making a
clean campaign in the west on the is

Mr.. Reid. like Mrs. Gilfory, may be

servations on the ground that he has
lived so long abroad.-Boston Herald
The high-tariff press is pluming
itself over the alleged fact that for
eigners are transferring their manufae-
tories to this country. Where is the
glory in this? Tariff is meant to pro-
tect American manufacturers, not to
invite foreign capital and competition.
The republican organs and organettes
need to consult consistency and do some
thinking-Detroit Free Press.
Col. W. w. Dudley has made his

better secure his Invitation prior to

his kidney will be unwelcome at the ex-
ecutive mansion Times.
The independent voters are made
voting the democratic ticket purely
from principle and not for the spoils
of office. There is not only room in the
democratic party for all of this class
who have a mind to join it. but the
great mass of democrats welcome them
as brethren, who. like themselves, are
iaboring for the supremacy of great
and undying principles - CLEVELAND

has folded his tent and put it away
with all his other campaign apparatus,
and AYERS, ostensibly, that he does not
mean to get any of the stuff out again
until some other year. 1t is possible
that he means it, and that the New

vote this fall on their own responsibility.
OF course that is solemn thought,
