No moro successful Insurance agent

Harrison, who handles In that city tho
woman's department business of the PA

woman in the country holding such a po-
sition. Some years ago, having through
bereavement found herself thrown on her
own resources, she turned her attention

vast quantities OF literature on tho atti.

stance they were charged at the rate OF So
thousand more than men were. This

it seeing III there was not some remedy
FOR tho state OF affairs. She hunted up
statistics and consulted business men on
the snbjeot and finally evolved plan to
eliminate sex entirely from the proposition.

Tho Homemaker.

One Of the secrets of being able to have
ones plans frustrated without serious in
convenience is in being forehanded. Never
allow work to accumulate If 1t is possible
to do It. Keep everything In such order
that little neglect will not show. Occu-
py spare moments of the days that are not
very busy ones In doing work little
ahead of time whom IL is actually needed
Then one will be the mistress and not the
slave of her housework, and the true work
Of the homcmsker will be accomplished.

"Even a cracked wall may have its ad-

whose little drawing room, in which there
was much green and white, had wall
over which there trailed many yards of
Hartford fern with an effect that was
truly artistic. Il couldn't afford TO fill
up those cracks and paper the wall, and it

thuse her women agents as easily as she
can write policy. She pays her agents
the same rates as the men solicitors are

Before bringing the company's officials
TO her way of thinking she had hard
fight. One Of the difficulties In the way of
doing away with the So extra charge for
women was tho supposed unreliability Of
women in regard TO telling their correct
age, and in insurance policy is liable to
be forfeited IL such a misstatement is dis
covered. Secondly, the claim was made
that women were more liable 10 die young
than men. And "a third objection was
that IL a woman's life could be insured as
cheaply as mans the companies ran
greater risk of her husbands putting her
out Of the way for tho sake OF the money

abandoned by the company's representa-

DGBS APPEALS TO The PEOPLE.
A NEW LINE OF LTTACk.
IL vnnts tho Public to Stop Patronis-
ing rul MN Cars Until Their
Owner Surrenders.

Mcssrs Dsbs, Howard, Keliher and Rogers,
the American Railway Union officials, have
Issued an address to the public, the substance
cf which Is as folloNs'
To the American Public:
at is almost universally conceded that the
Pullman company, through the oft-repeated
reduction of wages, excessive rents and many
other causes has grievously wrouged IL en-
piuycs, and whatever may be said OF inc
great strike which resulted in consequence OF
.uch grievance, the arbitrary refusal OF SAID
Pullman company TO submit to arbitration In
any form (even to decide the question, II
there was anything to arbitratel . PROOF pos
tive that said company had no faith In tne
justice OF It's cause, and fears the disclosures
that are certain TO result from an honest In
rc,tigation and in view Of the heavy Losses
enta!led upon the country, such obstinAcy on
the part OF the Pullman company Is dsssrv-
Ing OF the severest condemnation.
ave propose that the Pullman company
hall be brought TO Justice and In . way that
shall not uecessitate . strike and IL attend
ant Ills:
We have faith In the American people; |;
they uphold justice; they love fair play. And
now, In the name Of justice aud fair play, We
appeal 10 the great American public to every
man aud every good woman not TO ride IN
Prllman car until the Pullman company does
Justice to It's employees. Lot the cars run ao-
solutely empty No friend of labor, nofriend
Of humanity, will occupy scat or berth In
Pullman car. Let this policy bo inaugur-
atcd and we will then SEQ how long the rail-
road companies will be bound BY their con-
tracts, rs they have induced the people 70 Do
llcve, 10 haul Pullman cars.
ave propose TO continue this fight against
the Pullman company through good and evil
report, and without regard TO consequenssA
until justice shall be done. There Will be no
surrender. We will use everJ available snd
lawful means 10 prcss the contest"

A GREAT RELAY RACE.
Blcyclists to Break Records Between
Washing ton and Denver.

Bicyclists to Brcak Records Between
Washing ton and Denver.
Just before the national bicycle meet at
Denver the bicyc will undertake to bring
q message from President Cleveland to Gov
ernor Waite by relays. The rJutc is divided
up into short runs and these men arc expect
ed TO see that the message is gotten over their
division in the shortest possible time. The
Idea in this arrangement is to keep fresh men
running all the time. Before a man can tire
out at the terrific gait he is supposed TO pur-
sue, his document will be in the hands OF his
successor and again speeding along the road.
Not minute will be wasted and every pre-
caution will be taken to prevent accidents
and loss OF time. The, riders will hand the
message to their successors on the run and
while the latter takes the paper on with new
speed, the former will stll ride on more
slowly to the next station TO see that there is
no delay. The schedule for the race will al
low nine days in which to carry the n.sssage
from Washington to Denver. This Ia based
upon an average time Of 12 miles an hour.
It is anticipated that this will be greatly
beaten, and that the message will be carried
10 Its destination In six days.
