Massachusetts Law Makes Trouble.
The ffty-eight hour law for women
and children is already causing the dis
placement of women. Wright & Potter,
the state printers, announce that in con.
sequence of it women can no longer be
employed by them. Many manufacture
ing establishments in the state will con.
form to it, and women and children
employed in the mills cannot work more
than fifty-eight hours week. The in
tent of this law is, so far as it affects
children, humane and commendable,
but while men are working sixty hours
a week it will complicate matters for
women, and some employers threaten to
reduce wages of women to correspond
with their hours of work.
Advocates of women's rights believe
it is false logic which discriminates
against women. At Northampton sew.
enty-fve girls employed in the Nonotuck
Silk mill, at Leeds village, have quit
work on account of g. reduction of pay
under the fifty-eight hour law, and de-
clare they will remain out till sixty
hours pay is given them. If the girls
do not return to work the officers OF the
mill say they will supply their places
with men.-Boston Woman's Journal.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The House re-assembled at POS.

The House re-assembled at POS.
AttOrney-General Neumann offered
q substitute resolution as an amend
ment as follows:
Resolved, That the opinions of the
Justices OF the Supreme Court be re-
CURED upon the following question,
namely:
"The Legislature now consisting OF but
46 elected members, owing to the resig-
nation of two members, are "a or 25
of such members required to form a ma
jority of all the elective members of the
Legislature, within the meaning of Art,
Al of the Constitution?
Rep. Smith seconded the amend
ment.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox moved the pre-
vious question. Carried
The ayes and nays were called for
Acknowledgement Neumann did not
believe there would be q single vote
against the resolution. So what was
the use of the ayes and nays.
The call for the ayes and nays was
withdrawn.
AS soon as the motion fol- the pre-
vious question was made and Sec
onded, Rep. Nawahi rose and kept
the floor for twenty minutes. The
Vice President ruled him out of order
repeatedly. He appealed and his APP
peal was voted down by a large ma
jority, but he still persisted in main
tanning the floor, and upon Vice Presi-
dent Kauhane's intimating that he
would have to call in the sergeant-at-
arms, the refractory member twice
turned and appealed to the crowd be-
hind the rail to help him. He finally
sat down and the tumult subsidized.
The substitute resolution was passed
by a large majority.
At $40 the House adjourned until
10 A. NJ. Monday.

A Clever Rifle Wom an.

Miss Leale, the Guernsey "lady shot"
who distinguished herself last year at
Bisley, is adding to her first laurels.
Thursday she was again among the rife
men on Bisley common, trying her hand
at 200 yards, and in three shots putting
on a magpie and a brace of inners. The
"chit of girl" as her admiring col
leagues of the National Rifle association
called her, evidently ''means business
when she enters the ranks of marks
men. Miss Leale is tall, slight girl of
twenty-one, fair haired and of healthy
complexion, neatly but very simply
dressed, and perfectly natural and easy
in manner. She believes in ''a fair field
and no favor" and scorns to accept any
advantage in the way of rifle below
the regulation weight, or any other priv
ilege, because she happens to be wom-
an.-Pall Mall Budget.

Labouchere Compliments Glad
stone on His ChiyaIry.

LONDON, Aug. 27.-Labouchere
has written a letter to Gladstone
complimenting him upon his chi
valry in accepting the response
bility for the arrangement of the
Ministry. In a letter Labouchere
declares his answering loyalty to
Gladstone, but advises him not to
permit the pressure of the Home
Rulers to swamp Radical measures.
Gladstone says that he alone is
responsible for not presenting La
bouchere's name to the Queen as a
member of the Cabinet, and his
reasons for not appointing Labou-
chere in no wise reflect upon La
bouchere's public character or SER
vices.-Latest S. F. Bulletin.

Paris Law Students Try to Interfere

Paris Law Students Try to Interfere.
Mile. Jeanne Chauvin, lady law
student, was to have appeared before
the professors of the faculty of the law
school, in Paris, France, few weeks
ago, to deliver thesis which she had
prepared in favor of the emancipation
of woman On the day on which this
was to have taken place number of
law students were present and created
such disturbance that it was found
necessary to postpone the young iady's
examination till another time. Yester-
day, without giving any public notice of
their intention, the young lady was
called up, but although such secrecy
had been observed many of the students
were present. They, however, confined
themselves to loudly applauding any
objections which the professors made
to Mile. Chauvin's arguments.-Galig-
nani's Messenger.

a lawyer but he thought % votes were
necessary. The House would now
have to give the Cabinet trial for
few days. He therefore suggested that
the resolution be laid on the table.
Rep. r. w. Wilcox said there was
difference of opinion in the House,
and the only way to settle the ques-
ton was by an appeal to the Supreme
Court. 1t was obvious that the Cabi-
net did not intend to resign.
Noble Thurston said he had come
here this morning as peaceful as q
sheep. The Acknowledgement had
also looked sheepish. The Minister of
Foreign Affairs had suggested this
very course to him. The question was
purely a constitutional one. In q
House of As elective members, of
course % were required, and that was
the time when he had said % were
necessary. There We're two questions
before the House; one as to the
merits, one as to whether this is the
proper course to take. The words of
the Constitution were that the resolu-
ton requires a majority of ''all the
elective members of the House. The
reason why this word "electiven was
introduced, was to prevent the Cab
met from voting on the resolution. If
it had not been for that, it would have
read by Gall the members simply,

the meaning of that. He held in
his hand decision of the Missoui

tention of the opposition. He merely
mentioned that to show that the OPP

to discuss the matter fully now. The
