EXODUS OF SERVANTS TO EUROPE

4 Again has the servant question advanced
to the front, and now in a new and most pro-
voking aspect. The recent rate war between
the ocean steamship lines and the placing in
the market of steerage excursion tickets for
the price OF a few dollars have made quite q
panic among buffers, second men, grooms,
chamberrnaids and cooks whose natal land is
either old England or the lakes and fells in
the little island where the shamrock grows,
agents and ticket ~scalpers having been max
ing a silent crusade this spring among the SER
wants on Fifth avenue and adjacent streets.
When people who had cottages at Newport,
Narragansett, Lenox and other places were
about TO leave for the summer they were con-
fronted with a general resignation of the whole
domestic force. All the servants are going
abroad. 1t is almost impossible to keep them,
even on promise of higher wages. In some
cases pay has been doubled, and the intel
ligence offices and agencies are thronged with
stewards and housekeepers and heads of fam
lilies endeavoring to engage competent help for
the summer. The question has become seri-
Gus and many familiar faces with anxious
looks are in town in the vicinity of employ

COLONEL OATES ROMANCE.

Colonel William c. Oates of Alabama,
entered the Confederate army in 1861 as
a Captain and came out as a colonel. 1t
is said that he got shot worse than any
body who lived. He was six times Sc
verely wounded, once in the right arm,
then in the right leg, next in the laft hip,
hen inthe head, and finally before Rich
mond his right arm was taken off.
When he lost his arm, Colonel Oates
was taken to a farmhouse, where he was
nursed by a Southern girl. After he was
able to be about he felt that if he could
not win the girl he wouldn't thank her
for saving his life. He made his confess
sion, but she said nay.
Never mind, Colonel said the fair
ones mother Just wait for her"
pointing to a laughing baby in the era
die.
Oates grew interested in her as she
grew up, and when she got to be a
young lady he was very much in love.
He reminded her of the promise made
over her cradle, and-well, they are re-
garded7in Washington as an ideal couple,

AN ARMY OFFICERS DEBTS.

LEANENwoRTH, Kan, Aug. Is, 1S94.-The
court martial of Captain W. S. Johnson
Z. S. A, retired, is in progress here. Cap
tain E. Fl. Crowder is acting as judge
advocate. The evidence produced shows
that johnson, as far back as 1883, violated
army regulations by not liquidating his
lehts. A claim OF 500 held by Drills
Brothers of Denver had been pressed. but
no attention was paid to it, Notwithstanding
that the War Department had ordered him
20 pav it. Captain johnson was tried in
1856 for duplicating his pay account, and
again in 1888 for the same offense. He was
retired for wounds received during the war
and now resides at ~Springfield, Missouri.

lied its willingness to repair and keep in

afforded said company at said crossing,
therefore
Resolved, That the Board of Police Com

the authorities of the. New York, Susque-
hanna and Western Railroad Company and
to offer protection from teamsters luz
others if said company will repair aed keep
in order, the gates at the Newark avenue
crossing of said railroad.
By Alderman Dohrman and adopted:
Whereas, The trolley wires of the CONSOLE
dated Tr action Company are not guarded
sufficiently to prevent serious accident in
case any of the telegraph or telephone wires
running through the same street should
break and by contoct with the trolley wires
menace life and property.
Resolved, That the Board of Street and
Water Commissioners be requested to pass
an ordinance to compel the Consolidated
Traction to place guard wires so that any
broken telegraph or telephone wires coming
in contact with the trolley wires may be pre-
vented from falling to the ground and be-
coming a source of danger to our people, the
same protection that other cities provide.
Resolved, That the attention of the gen
eral public is hereby directed to the peril
attending any breakage of this character.
By Alderman Dohrmann and adopted:
Whereas, 1t has been demonstrated that
wires charged with electricity coming in
contact with iron pipes under ground will,
in O short time, consume the iron and render
the pipes unfit for further use, and
Whereas, The Consolidated Traction Com
pany in building its road awaited itself of
every opportunity to attach ground wires to
the pipes underground, used for conveying
water to the people, and such action will do
great damage and compempel large expendi-
lures without any redress to the taxpayer.

LONG DlsTANpg LIGHTING.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Is, 1s94.-The Depart
ment of State has received from Consul Gen
eral Jones at Rome a profusely illustrated
pamphlet, with translation, giving full de-
tails of the plant and appliances used in gen
Grating and transmitting 1000 horse power
a distance of eighteen miles across the Can
pagna from Tivoli to Rome.
The Consul General says that Rome is the
first city to be lighted by electricity at a
long distance. Italy is essentially agricul-
tural, producing no coal, but having mag
nificent water power, and her future indus
trial development may spring from the
transmission of energy generated by water

man who takes a woman into the water is
her companion only during their INNER

there is no question of social amenities.
He attends to his business so thoroughly

A great number of Frenchwomen wear

the trousers being made in so flaring q
shape that the inside seam forms almost

fullness as a skirt and is much less
clumsy. A sketch is shown Of q bathing
costume in W pieces. The blouse and
skirt are one garment. reaching almost to
the knee and belted in at the waist. The
trousers are gathered in by an elastic band
around the bottom of the leg, and the
short sleeves are similarly secured. A
Dlastron, embroidered with an anchor,
fills in the open front of the bodice. This
costume is mere suitable fer ilere bathers
than swimmers, as tho latter require O
