Strike Commission Report..

The Strike Commission appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland. to investigate the Pullman
trouble. has presented report signed by Fed
eral Labor Commissioners Carroll ID. Wright,
John ID. Herman of New York, and Nicholas
Z. Worthington. of Illinois
The report condemns the General Managers
Association, and eharacteTizes such aggregation
OF power as unlawful and dangerous The
Commission questions whether any legal au-
thority. statutory or otherwise can be found to
justify some of the features OF the association
which have come 10 light in this in vestigation.
Concerning the town OF Pullman. the Com
mission states that the paternalisa created by
the Pullman Company, being at once owner
and landlord, IS its chief falling The report
disputes the claim Of the company that it kept
Its plant in operation for the benefit of its
workmen, and states that the object in running
the works was to prevent the consequential
losses of continued dleness aud to enable it.

Keep its cars in repair. When reductions were
made the Commission states. none of the off,
GERS suffered a cut and neither were rents re-
dueed. Witnesses stated at the sessions that
they frequently earned from Jour cents to 81
above their rent
The policy, the report SAYS Of the Pullman
Company and the Railroad Managers Associa-
ton IN refusing to arbitrate closed the doors
TO all attempts at conciiation. The arrival Of
troops IL Chicago is declared to have been op-
perfume, as many policemen were in sympathy
with the strikers
The report states that there IS no evidence
that the officers of the American Railway
Union at any time participated In or advised
intimidation, violence. or destruction Of prop
erty. From the testimony it is fair to con-
ciude that strikers were concerned in the out
RACES against law and order. although the num-
Der was undoubtedly small as compared with
the whole number out.
Inc commission recommends that perma-
nent United States Strike Commission of three
members. with duties and powers of investiga-
ton and recommendations as to disputes be-
tween railroads and their employees, be es-
tablished.

The pictures this week are from Demorests
Magazine aud show what the ladies in Korea
wearing now. They may furnish ideas for
remodeling a last Winters serge dress, but ii is
doubtful There is a short jacket reaching
just under the arms, and many long, full skirts
with bands eight inches wide that meet the
jacket. This, with the part in the middle of
the hair, seems to be the National costume, and
in simpler forms is worn by the women and
girls in all parts. The woman with big
Alsatian bow on her head is a chief lady in

A circular went out from the Treasury De-
partment last week calling for bids for S50000,-
900 of five per cent bonds bearing date of Feb.
/ to agree with the issue of last February. The
issue will probably be held to a three per cent.
basis; in other words, such price will lie set
upon the bonds as to make them in effect three
per cent. The minimum price demanded by
the Treasury in February last was 1928. at
which rate the $50, 900, 900 of bonds then issued
brought in over sos 660,917 of gold, increasing
the gold reserve to $1l40000 900. As $20,000,00C
of the gold paid for the bonds was withdrawn
from the Treasury the net gain was but
$50, 100000. At present the gold reserve i:
about SCI, 100000 The net cash balance is
however, somewhat greater now than it was in
February last

mettle and industriously engaged in trying to
catch the robbers who have been annoying the

freer from such people than other cities of its

IT'S Easy TO GET IN,
where there's sluggish liver, for any of the
germs of disease that surround you If your
liver were active and healthy, it would keep
them out of your blood. You'll have to
watch your liver for self-protection.
Just as soon as you see tho first symptoms
that it's wrong (eruptions on the skin, or
dull and WORKOUT feeling) you ought to
take DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
That will start your liver into healthy,
natural action, purify your blood, too; it
will brace up your whole system, and give
you strength and color, and put on needed
flesh--not fat, but wholesome, necessary flesh.
Milford Centre, O.
DR.. r. v. PIERCE: Dear Sir heartily
recommend your Discovery" to any person
suffering from general debility as the best
thing they can take for 1t. After taking
the Discovery" am happy to say / never
felt better in my life than do now.

pretty way to fix up an old evening gown
is to use the brocaded taffeta ribbons that were
so popular this Summer The sleeves can be
made wider by stripping them with the ribbon,
or the waist can be decorated with the Powered
bands. Ribbons fluttering to the hem of the
skirt finished there with a square bow, are
pretty. The crisp little bows can be used as
finish for any part.

The police of this city are going TO take CEN
sus by order of the Commissioners. There are
believed to be over 100000 people in Washing
ton. The census taken in June, 1892, when
many residents were necessarily out of town
for the Summer, showed over 25S000, but this
census showed an excess of $4,000 over that
taken two years before.

A meeting was held here last week by citi-
zens who favor petitioning Congress to order a
special election to determine the question as to
whether majority OF the residents OF Washing
ton desire TO retain the present form of Govern
ment by Commissioners or to return to a more
representative form of municipal Government.
It was decided TO carry the idea of the assem-
bly,. 1t is doubtful if the plan will meet with
success, as a majority of the citizens do not
care whether the form of Government Is
changed or not.

In Massachusetts, Working Girls Club they
had debate on this very subject of domestic
service versus factory or store life, with the
result that it was decided that if girl came a
stranger, alone to city, not knowing the ways
of city life, domestic service would probably be
better for her, subectng her to fewer privations
and temptations, but they claimed that domes-
tic service almost always spoiled girls for
making homes of their own. AS they put it,
"a store or factory girl makes better wife, and
the men know it," girl who has work ed out
in home of comparative actual luxury
makes discotented wife in little home
where economies are many and luxuries are few.
She, consciously or unconsciously, compares
all her little belongings with those of the
wealth that she has viewed and things seem
small and cheap to her. She frets, and has no
interest in her home. A factory girl marries
and starts her little home with every bit of new
china or drapery, or an extra flower or box OF
sweets, as a new delight. They told in proof
that even girls who have been excellent house
keepers out in service grow slouchy in their
own homes for this same reason. AS the girls
discussing this question and drawing these con-
illusions were the factory and shop girls and
girls working in domestic service themselves,
their statements are not tho results of vague
theorizing, but personal experience.

for washing ont the goods, and the rest put
