Trains Racing Through the Pine Woods

Passengers to Atlantic City on the
o'clock trains Of the Reading and Penn
sylvania railroads have enjoyed many "a
race this summer between the two rivals.
The Reading has the shorter line across
New Jersey, but the "Pennsy" has the
advantage Of o much quicker ferry trip,
and so the two roads stand pretty much
on an equality. The tracks come to-
gether near Winslow junction and from
that point rur side by side for almost the
entire 20 miles to Atlantic City. Both
trains are due at Atlantic City at 5:15
and go rushing across the Jersey pines
at rate that delights the passengers
hearts. Tho engineers, it is said, have
been quietly given the tip that it is moi
absolutely necessary to wait until 5;15
before reaching the Atlantic City station,
and so it has come to pass after some
particularly lively races that the trains
have landed their passengers in the city
by the sea three, four and even five
minutes ahead of time.-Philadelphia

The State Convention Completes Its
Labors in a Hurry.
SYRACUSE, n. Y, Oct. 6.--The indica-
tions, before the assembling of the Re-
publican state convention, were that
there would be q good deal OF tangle
TO straighten out. Buffalo wanted
HsiGht nominated for judge OF the court
of appeals; New York City wanted
Judge Rumsay. New York City people
were at odds among themselves. Jacob
Patterson wanted ohm Sabine Smith for
the iudgeship; Tom Platt wanted E. 4.
Bartlett. John M. Palmer OF Albany
eeemed unopposed for secretary of state,
but Buffalo and Central New York were
at odds over the other Offices. An effort
was made to have Buffalo accept the
comptrollership for Webber OF that city.
Chauncey 81. Depew and ex-senator
Platt ami OK Senator Hiscock were con-
spicgous in preliminary consultation.
Z. w. Cullinan of Oswego was made
Temporary chairman. In his speech of
acceptance, he contrasted the admins
tration of Harrison with the present ad-
minlstration, to the detriment of the
latter. The speakers references to the
Mckinley bill brought out significant
rounds OF applause and the great Ohioan
was given three cheers, while one dele
gate shouted: "He'll be our next presi-
dent, too"
Alter the appointment of the usual
committees recess was taken until
3 80 pm.
Upon Resembling, Hon. Chauncey
NJ. Depew spoke. He referred to the
resumption OF labor and closed factories.
But" he added, wages are cut" He
declared that in one year of Democratic
rule, labor lost in wages large percent
age OF the benefits assured to them in
25 years of Republican administration.
He demanded that the ship of state now
drifting on the rocks of bankruptcy and
distress be entrusted to the Republicans
again for eafs pilotage.
Judge Frank Brundage OF Erie county
was reported ior permanent chairman,
and afrer his speech nominations for the
court of appeal judgeship were first
made, these names being presented:

The committee on resolutions next
presented its report. The platform
starts out with this sen ntence: ''The
time has come to rescue the state of
New York from the despotic control of
an utterly selfish and peracnal machine"
All are invited to join the Republican
party to effect this reform. Then fol-

SARATOGA, N. Y, Oct. 6.--The Demo-
cratic state convention reassembled this

The temporary organization was made
permanent. Chairman Lockwood then
called for the report of the committee on
resolutions, which was read. Following
is summary:
After dealing with state issues the
platform says: "The transfer OF the
legislative and executive branches of the
federal government to the Democratic
party was none too soon to correct, if
too late to avoid, the widespread dis
trees caused BY unsound plutocratic
Republican legislation. To repeal the
unwise, unjust laws Of Republican or
igin the Democratic party is
pledged, and may safely be
trusted, to reconstruct our
currency and tax laws in accordance
with the populat needs and sound polit-
ical principles. Recent events have
emphasized and affirmed the utterance
of the Democratic platform OF 1891 and
1892, and the Democratic national plat.
form of last year, in denuneiation of the
Sherman law, providing for the compul-
sorry purchase and storage of silver bull
lion; and in reiterating that condemna-
tion, We again demand the speedy, un-
conditional repeal of the laws obno1-
ious provision"
1he platform further favors liberal
provisions for all disabled union soldiers
widows and dependents congratulstes
Cleveland on the suspicious beginning
OF his administration pledges earnest
support in all efforts to secure the enact
megt of Democratic measures and car
rying out the Democratic policies, and
especially approves his patriotic action
in convening congress- III eX,sa session.
The calling of state ca1s; ltional
convention for next year, To pic de for
woman outrage, was recommended.
Before proceeding to nominations,
Mrs. Lille Devereaux Blake was &C.
corded the privilege of the stage to pre-
sent the claim OF women for representa-
ton in the constitutional convention,

tive OF the Womans' Christian Temper

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The house com
mittee on public lands held special
meeting today to hear Hudson (Pop. of
Kansas on the resolutions he introduced
asking the committee to investigate
charges agajnet the civil and military
authorities for an alleged outrage in the
opening OF the Cherokee outlet. Hud-
son said he knew from reliable authority
that persons were allowed to enter the
lands from the east side, getting the a d.
vantage over other intended settlers. He
asserted that he did not believe the in
terror department. was in any way res
ponsible for the troubles, but certain
men were responsible, and it was due to
the department that an investigation be
held. He read newspaper articles
charging that registry receipts were
sold and purchased with the knowledge
and connivance of the officials. After
further testimony OF general character
the committee decided to meet Monday
to consider the question as to whether
or not an investigation was necessary.

turc Tor Ecod and Clothes.
A remarkable report has just been is
sued by the Working Woman's society
OF this city, which, it is claimed, is based
upon careful investigation Of the con-
dition of the working women of the
state.
This report shows that the average
earnings Of the working women are only
SO per week end that this is little more
than half the average expenditure per
capita in the United States for food and
clothing, not counting room rent.
The average expenditure per week per
capita in the United States is reported as
$7.se for clothing and $4.50 for food.
The report deals more especially with
the condition CT the middle aged women
who work for living, and it states that
such women find itextremely difficult TO
obtain employment, as most employers
prefer young women who live at home
and accept smaller wages.
A partial investigation of the alus-
houses shows that on Jan. / of this ye.v
there were i eco female inmates in 81
counties. According to the census of
1880 there were only 10000 Of both sexes
in the alnshouses of the entire 60 coun-
tics.
There are 100000 women in this city
engaged in gainful occupations. or these
Z per cent are widowed, divorced or sep
arated from their husbands, and 10 per
cent are married. Ten per cent arc more
than 45 years old, and per centar more
than co.
Most ce thewomen who are dependent
upon they own earnings for livelihood
live in furnished rooms, cooking for
themselves Many Of them, the report
declares, do not eat meat more than once
week, and the majority do not spend
more thar 81 o week for food. There is
a steady proportion Of about one-third of
the working women out Of employment
Notwithstaasiil iils, the moral tone of New
Yorlz's working women is high.
Therecorts s OF the insane asylums show
that 55 per cenS Of their inmates are
women, and that Of these IS per cent are
domestics.
The report, which is signed by Alice
L. Woodbridge. the secretary Of the So
cicty, closes by recommending a plan Of
state insurance for women, by which
small compulsory weekly payments by
all less than 45 Sesus old will insure a
pension sufficient I or support to all more

corseta ,.rd Christianity.

Whether women should or should not
wear corsets, they wear them all the
same, and the harm done by voluntary
tight lacing is balanced by the recent
noble deed of DR.. Warner, corset manu-
facturer, of Bridgeport, Conn. Next to
articles of luxury, the last things on earth
to be purchased in these hard times are
corsets. A pair Of corsets may justly be
said to have great staying qualities.
Panics may come and panics may go,
but well made corsets will go on forever.
Naturally, therefore, DIR. Warner feels
the financial stringency keenly, and not
only is he obliged to reduce time to three
days in tho week, but is forced TO clay
off, many women employees.
Does he leave them to choose between
starvation and the street? No. DR..
Warner actually does unto those unfor-
tunate women-as innocent of the pres
ent wicked panic as the rest Of their sex
precisely as he would be done by. He
has read his New Testament Alright and
applies to this century Christianity as
taught by its founder 1890 years ago.

board during the continuance Of trade
stagnation. They have helped him make
