Statistics show that of the 1, $50, 2S8
women engaged in paid occupations in
1870 nearly one-half were domestic serv-
ants. By the census of 1880, when the
number of working women in the United
States had increased to 2, 647, 157, only
one-third were found in domestic serv-
ice 1t is not yet known what proportion
of the present number of working wom-
en- are employed as household servants,
as the figures of the last census are not
yet to be had The reasons for this de-
crease in the number of household serv-
ants is supposed to be due to the shorter
working hours, the cOmpaniOnship, the
Sunday holiday and the greater freedom
outside of working hours that are to be
had in other employments-
The greater remuneration given to
the average girl in a factory or retail
store cannot be an element in her pref
erence, as statistics show the average
wages per week for this class of labor
to be So. 60, with an average outlay of
So. 80. Though the income of the house
hold servant is smaller, her outlay is
also very small Her station in life will
probably leave her with more money at
the end of the year than can be accumu-
lated by the average schoolteacher. -

GRACE 0oDeE's STORY ABOUT THE

New York Women-A Bunker Hin Defeat
Addressing a company of persons in
terested in philan thropic effort the other
day in Buffalo, Miss Grace Dodge. spoke
of a principle that is coming more and
more into these discussions-th need
for the helped and the helpers to under
stand each other.
Il do not wonder, = said Miss Dodge,
'sthat the working women often resent
the interference of the persons who come
among them, and while yet holding
themselves aloof express a desire to
help them These persons never seem to
consider that they may gain good as
well as do good in these cases. They
think that all the help comes from them,
and they resent the idea that they might
be in any way benefited by contact with
the working women as we'll as the work
ing women by contact with them Yet
until the spirit of mutual helpfulness is
engendered there can be no true sympa-
thy between them

who lived ON the avenue 1t was called
the Needles Eye society, on account of
the Scriptural allusion to the camel and

them in their homes and talk with them
and do all in their power to make them
happier than they were. So one tiInid
little back alley woman started out one
morning and rang the bell of a largo
mansion ON the avenue. She asked fOf
the mistress and was shown in The lady
of the house appeared, and the little
woman began to ask the regulation
questions: How many children have
you? Is your husband Eving?' What

women of the avenue must be very IN
happy. You never have your children
with you as we do, as you must turn
them over to your servants and, then,
do you not find the care of so many
servants very trying2 Your social duties,
too, must be great strain ON you, aud
we want to help you We want to show
you how to live more as we do, so that
you may be happier. But the mistress

little woman was crazy and ordered a
servant to remove her. just then the
good bishop came in, and he sympa-

no wise excited over woman and whose
Indifference to an extension of suffrage
has been the familiar argument of its
opponents. Meetings in behalf of the
petition have been quietly held of late
in houses in the prosperous avenues up
town, to the surprise of some of the men
who have learned of them. Women have
attended them who help to make what
ever of cultivated society New York con-
tains. Some of the offending males who
scott at the agitators respect these wom-
en-, and their interest and support of the
present petition has done more, as it
seems to me, for the cause than hun

PERRY, 0. T., April 21.-The latest
news from the battle between the Dalton
gang and the posse of deputy United
States marshals is not as bad as the first.
A messenger named Case arrived today
from the vicinity of the Twin mountains
and reports fight, but the fatalities
were not SO numerous at first re ported.
1t seems that Bruce Miller has been
harboring the Daltons of late. and that
the Daltons spent Sunday night at Mil
ler's. The posse of deputies surrounded
the house Monday morning Bruce Mil
Ter, his brother, his wife and daugh-
ter and hired man were
there, but the Daltons had left
only twenty minutes before.
James Dunn's place was next visited
by the marshaPs posse, and there The
gang was found. A battle took place
Wednesday night, and the marshals
think Bill Dalton and Bill Doolan were
both killed, but the darkness prevented
them from learning this to a certainty
The marshals are certain that some of
the band were killed and a number
wounded.
The Evening Times here has informa-
ton that both Bill Dalton and Bill Doolau
were killed and borne off by their COM
rades, but this cannot be verified to-
night. The latest reports say that Heck
Thomas of this city, one of the bravest
men in the territory, was also killed.

Diamond Cross.
Mrs. j. P. Howe has recovered her $500
diamond cross which she lost on the street
April 4th.
The loss of the pin was advertised in
all the papers and reward was offered
for its recovery, but it was not recovered
until last evening. Through Mrs. DR..
Ashmore, of North Topeka, Mr.. Howe
learned that the pin had been seen in the
possession of Andrew Walker, colored
man.
Mr.. Howe in company with a police
man, called on Walker last night and re-
covered the lost valuable. The colored
man said he found it near the corner of
Eighth and Topeka avenue, but did not
know whose it was, as he does not take a
newspaper. He had been offered $15
for the pin by a jeweler, but did not sell
it. because he thought it was worth $25.
Mr.. Howe says the pin is worth not less
than $500.

The Attempt to Prove That He Was Has
Abandoned.

The attempt to prove the charge of
drunkenness against Sergeant Steele of
the police force has been abandoned.
Steele was suspended pending an in

of the parties making the complaint in
police court this morning was really the
trial of Steele. Police Commissioners
Krauss and Yount were in the court
room and listened to the testimony.
The case occupied all forenoon and is
now being argued There is conflicting
evidence concerning the condition of the
men arrested but there is little doubt but
that Steele will be reinstated as a result
of the trial.

SENATE WIND ENGINES.
A Proposition for Elimination OF
BOres From That Body.

A Proposition for the Elimination of
BOres From That Body.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-The PROPOSE
ton submitted by Senator Gray of Della
ware for changing the rules of the SEN
ate providing that no senator shall read
a speech or read exclusively from books
or papers, is intended more especially to
cut off speeches which are supposed to
be made for the express purpose of kill
ing time
This matter was under discussion dur
ing the extra session when the silver de-
bate was on, the question being whether
a senator could have document read at
the clerks desk.
In the course of the debate Senator
Teller said that the reading of speeches
was practice that had grown up oflate
years and was not contemplated when
the senate rules allowing entire freedom
of debate were first inaugurated.
The object in preventing the reading
of speeches in this way is that while a
senator may be content to read for hours
without a single senator listening and
not more than two or three in the cham
Der he would probably not be disposed
to talk to the same kind of an audience
and it is further believed there would be
very much less speech making.
