Girls and Iheil. Mothers

The cry of the day is the independence
of girls. and it is worth while TO INQUIRE
from whence this springs. Is it the out
come OF rebellious aud independeut
spirit, or has 1t been engendered and tos-
tered by home influence? In the c.9e of
society mothers, handsome and popular
whose daughters good looks are not
backed up Dy large marriage portions.
the suItOrS DO not realize the mothers
ambitious ideas. Girls so situated soon
hnd the home an unhappy one, and the
position almost lntolerable; the worldly
mother, disappointed and sore at her
daughters still being on her hands. daily
and hourly reproaches them with their
non-success in life. and not only grudges
them every pleasure, but almost every
comfort. w hat wonder is it that tor
mented and driven to bay, they should
seek some outlet from this unIoYely eX-
lstence, and take up any occupation and
follow any line that Will lead to emanci-
patton from this state of tbraldOm? ? This
is, alas uot a solitary instance, but one
OF thousands. The world knows moth
ing OF Ii, the mothers are commlserated
with, and the girls are styled H19 de steele
Then there are mothers so fond of So
clety, admiration, and attention, that they
will not rellnquish to their daughters
any portion ofthese things while they di-
vert the attention of young meu-would-
be suitors-trom their daughters 10 them
selves. Added to this, not a few mothers
are decidedly Jealous of their daughters
youth and prettiness, and are selfish
enough to discourage them from marry
ing while young not wishing to own to
married daughters. Side by side with
such mothers as the foregoing are women
who are too selt-indulgent and inditfer-
ent to concern themselves with the lives
of their daughters. 1t is less trouble to
let them go here and there, to make what
friends they like, to accept all invitations
that come in their way, in fact, to look
alter themselves, rather than exert any
wholesome control over their actions, and
pursue their own selfish ends and aims.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The State De-

troubles growing out of the repeal Of the

HAvERHILL (Mass.), Dec. 27.-With so
per cent. of the shoe worke ers of this city
earning less than s. a week, The Interna-
tional Labor Union made a demand on
the manufacturers that they should re-
store the prices that existed before the
panic of 1898, the shoe industry at the
present time being at its hight. The ma
chine lasters were called out, but no COM
promise could be effected. The affair
eliminated when W. w. SpauldIng, the
largest manufacturer in the city, 'ock ed
out all his turner workmen because they
attended the labor rally.
The labor strikers and locked-out men
formed parade last night and marched
to the shoe district, when the women
stitchers at Spaulding's quit work and
Joined in the demand for more wages as
well as the parade.
The strikers declare that the present
fight is to establish a uniform list OF
prices, and in this. although they have
only grievances against a few manu-
facturers. all the shoe factories will be
concerned.
a fourth parade of the day was formed,
containing 400 men, which was increased
TO about four thousand when it reached
the hall. Here Inflammatory speeches
were delivered by the labor leaders and
Armenian, Polish, Hebrew and French
anarchists, who urged the men to come
out and JOIN the strikers. The line of the
parade was ablaze with fireworks and
was headed by band.
The general strike will not be ordered
until this afternoon, and the manufacture
ers have until noon to restore the former
price list. This strike will affect nearly
six thousand men and women, who claim
that no compromise viii be accepted now
and that the fight will be to the end. The
contract system now in vogue in the
larger factories. which keeps the foreign
element down, must be broken, says the
men, or it viii extend throughout the

The strikers were orderly and no sort
