travelling and shopping how often
one sees well dressed women, who
look intelligent enough to know bet
ter, hold soiled greenbacks and silver
between thefr lips while hunting for
small change in their purses Why,
my dear sisters, don't you know that
paper money is regular garden of
microbes and disease germs, and that
contagious are frequently spread in
Just this way? OF all the necessary
evils in the world moneys is the mas

The Philadelphia Times in speak
ing about the dress of men and wo-
men these days say; The women
have appropriated the shirt and 9th
er parts of mans costume, but the
men are retaliating. One of the lat
est things they have laid hands upon
is the the safety pin. It is an rngen.
ius contrivance, and ever 50 many
men, married and unmarried, use it
to hold up shirt sleeves and for other
purposes. But the latest invasion of
the feminine realm is the buckle.
| Men are to wear them on their kan
arband belts, and, what is stranger
still, are to wear them in silver fas-
tened on their hat bands. Carriers
are 10 longer an unknown adjunct of
masculine apparel, and the only ques-
ton is, Where is the thing going to
end7
The Newport Ledger June 7 says:
For some time past, in fact when tho
whether was at all fit to be out, a
party of young men and boys of this
place would congregate in the neigh
borhood of the n & S. V. engine
house on Sunday and indulge il card
playing, whether for a stake or not,
we are unable to say. Last Sunday
constable Kline ascertained who ten
OF the party were 1t is said there
were some thirty or more of them),
and made information on Monday
before justice .Meminger, who issued
warrant for their arrest. They
were brought before the justice who
fined each of them 81 according to
the statute, and umped his costs, di-
viding th9m equally between the ten,
making it S411 each The majority
paid without word, bat few were
inclined to take tho matter to court.
Their better judgment prevailed and
they paid the amount, glad to get off
so easily. In the issue of June 14th;
the Ledger says, the suit against the
boys for card playing on Sunday, led
TO suit against the wife and two
daughter of Constable Kiln, for
walking out ON Sunday, contrary to
act of Assembly. The justice dis
charged the women and put the cost
on the prosecutor The boys also
brought suit against G. W. Reiter
for walking out on Sunday, but when
the Ledger last went to press, the
case had not been disposed of
An exchange in writing on the sub
ject of strikers and tariff agitation
says: The strike and instructions
against law keep troops under arms
in Maryland, Ohio, Indiata and Hi
nois e broad belt of States from the
Atlantic to the Mississippi, and in
several other States besides. The
consequent paralysis of industry and
business is much broader. Nearly
sill the wooden mills in Southern
Rhode Island, many mills OF all kinds
in Massachusetts,, Connecticut, New
York and New Jersey, large estab,
lishments in western Pennsylvania,
and q greater part of the mgnufact
uring concerns il States west OF
/ Pennsylyania, have been closed by
scarcity OF fuel coming at time
when scarity Of orders made employ
ers uncertain and hesitating Telo-
grams to ''Bradstreat's" states that
the strike OF 175, 900 miners and 35,
coo others has already caused the
idleness of $1,000 men in other IL
dustries, but this is doubtless an un
der statement for the decrease IL
production and consumption Of iron
represents loss of occupation to q
greater number.
When the strike Is mentioned as
''the cause Of trouble, far more po
tent forces are ignored, as if one
should say that tax on tea caused the
American Revolution. From a quar-
ter to a third Of the working force
in manufactures has been condemned
to idlencss for many months by tar
iff agitation. When long delayed de
mand for consumption had started
about 20 per cent of the works, a re
markabIy cold and wet spring ar
rested distribution of products de
signed for spring and summer use
and left retailers SO over loaded Will
these that they have been unable tc
give anything like the usual orders
for the fall Threatened with tariff
changes, manufacturers dare not 60
so much beyond orders actually rs
ceived, ard hasten to cancel these
and to close their works when oeca
sion is offered by arcity of fuel ol
the demands of labor.
