She Was Celebrated for Her Courag ge

From Lima comes the story of n renarka-
Bile Peruvian woman, who has become a
celebrity in the country from her bravery

mated in the attack and capture of Lima
Oh March II Is and 10 last.
To-day the name of Martha the Vivan-
diere, who accompanied the division of the
coalition army under the command Of
Col. Philip Ore, is household word in
Lima Martha is q woman of about thirty
five years OF age, and OF Indian blood She
is rather tall for one of her race, and
not at all bad looking.
From first to last, since Col Ore en-
camped in Lurin about twenty miles from
Lima, Martha in brilliant uniform and
mounted on a splendid horse was always
TO be seen when fighting was going on
sometimes at the front urging OH hesoldiers,
at other times at the rear assisting the
wounded.
During gthefiercefig at the entranceto
Lima Martha was wounded by bullet in
the rightfoot she mortgaged sma llhouse
which she owned in Callao, and when the
coalition forces commenced what was vir-
tually the seige of Lima she employed her
little fund in the purchase of rcvolvers and
other articles. These she managed to fmug-
gle out with her when she joined Col.
Ores division as a Vivandiere
There were three days 'trenendouSfightin
in Lima, over 900 men lying dead in the
streets. About 90 per cent of the cCnI-
batantS engaged were placed horS du COM
bat BY this it will be easily understood
how tl.a conduct Of Martha the Vivandiere,
has made her famous.

THE SHAME OF CONVICT LABOR.

THE SHAME OF CONVICT LA BOR.
The Electrical Workers are not TO be
blamed for refusing to take part in OF
countenance the Atlanta Exposition on ac-
count OF the fact that great deal Of the
work in the buildings has been done by
convict labor. ItwOuld beemincntly proper
If all labor organizations were TO take the
same stand.
Convict labor is a standing insult and
INJURY 10 ali honest labor. 1t places the
respectable YOrkinGman in competition with
The felon. 1t depresses wages and works
harm in many ways. The hard Ia Dor which
cOnvicts perform 10y compulsion should
be something that VIII not take the bread
oat OF the mouths OF honest. industrious
workingm?n and their families
The employment OF convict labor outside
OF tie prisons is more common in the South
than in any other part OF the Union. Ia
this fact may be found one reason why the
cause Of organized labor has not flourished
more in that section. Unfortunately the
legislatures OF many Of the Southern States
have, from motives Of false economy, aided
and observation-disclosures tofconvictlabor.
This is notably the case in North Carolina,
Tennessee, Mississippi and Arkansas, and
n appears that Georgia must be added to
the list.
Organized labor throughout the country
can do no better than inaugurate a crusade
against Tie convict labor system. No man
should DE supported for election to a State
legislature that VIII not frankly and posi-
lively pledge himself to oppose any policy
which makes the convict the competitor OF
the honest orkingman.

BLUE GRASS TROUBLES.

Blue grass is growing rank around Ken
lucky Democratic hopes since Gen Hardin,
the Democratic candidate for Governor,
has been trying to fit a free silver plug
10 hole in a sound money" platform.
Much 10 the surprise and disappointment
Of Kentucky gold-bug Democrats, Gen.

The Democrats tsofKentuckya are themselves
responsible for this unfortunate state of
affairs. They adopted a gold platform
and nominated a misfit candidate to sup
port it. When he was nominated they knew
Gen Hardin was a free silver worshipper,
and because the bluEder was theirs they
should be manly enough TO abide by the
consequences. Any attempt TO make an
other nomination would complicate mat
tiers and create worse confusion, and it is
16 TO 1 times better TO take chances on
Gen. Hardin s election than to bury the DEM
ocraiic party in a gold-mounted Repub-
lican coffin.
It should be warning, however, never
to try to put zebra stripes on Democratic
donkey. Any candidate who win sacri-
flee his convictions at the instigation of

EQUAL PAY FOR EQUAL WORK.

Among the many reforms organized labor
is endeavoring TO accomplish If The short
ening OF the hours of woman labor and The
payment TO her of equal wages with manic
equal work under equal conditions. To
some extent this has already been done,
but in many mills ard factories the old
prejudice sun exists against woman-abor,
and employers continue To insist that she
cannot earn as much as men even when en-
ployed al the same kind Of work
Womanlabor in many instances is also
used as a means 10 lessen the rate Of wages.
Employers, knowing her generally helpless
condition. VIXEN thrown upon the world,
take advantage of her unfortunate cir
cun.Slauocs 10 cut down the cost Of pro-
duction, and refuse 10 give her employment
except on their own terms. Organized
labor has iutcrfercd TO prevent this injus-
uce, and wherever possible TO induce wo-
nan-lahor 10 affiliate, ana also cooperate
in demanding equal pay for equal work,
the result has been highly beneficial
Women whose circumsta tances compel them
20 labor for wages WIN find earnest and
warm hearted sympathizers among labor
organizations. This was demonstrated IN
the hearty manner in which the Laundry
Girls Assembly was indorsed by every
labor organization in Washington. 1t has
also been Illustrated many times by the
demands Of organized labor for better treat
ment for womanlabor from unscrupulous
employers, and in time il VIII be still further
eXemplilicd by an organized system Of pro-
lection for every woman who is compelled
10 work for her living,
The moral influence of organized woman
labor controlled by pureIninded women
would be a great factor in preventing an
increase Of immortality. If girls, deprived
OF natural protectors, had friends Of their
own sex to appeal TO for advice in times Of
distress the benefit to society would be
almost beyond comprehension. Properly
organized bodies Of woman labor would
supply tits refuge for timely counsel and
protection, and working women viii them
selves, in time, make that desirable method
OF preserving innocence one of the principal
objects for organization.

The excuse of Capt Barker, of the River
View steamboat Samuel J. Pentz, that
the collision of night before last was
caused by the failure of the bell to re-
spond when he rang for reversal OF
the engine, only makes matters worse.
Unless the machinery and signal appli-
ances OF a steamboat are positively
reliable, the boat should be pro-
hibited from carrying passengers.
Where the safety of thousands of people
depends upon the tinkle OF q bell, as was
the case when the Pentz crashed into the
Manchester, there should be careful en-
deavor to keep the bell in order. This is
said in all kindness to the River View Com
pany and merely as a warning to be more
careful of its passengers.

What with popular music selected by the
daily newspapers of the city, thousands
of pretty girls and more thousands OF gall
lants applauding it, with radiant sky
| over all and everybody as happy as could
be, the Marine Band concert al the White
House grounds, yesterday afternoon, was
an unqualified success.
Everybody knows what the programme
was, for it was published in The Times
There were fourteen numbers, not including
of course, Hail Columbia" and OF these
eight were marches, which shows that the
musical sense of the average newspaper
man lies in his feet Then there was
something just a trifle more severe In the
shape of the Tell" overture and Faust"
selections. Light opera was represented
by Fra Diavolo," and the devotee OF
the dance had "0n the Beautiful Blue
Danube" Then Fauciulli was honored
in his descriptive compositions, "A Night
in Bohemia" and "A Trip TO Manhattan
Beach," and that was all
Did Il catch on? Well, it did right in
the beginning, and staid till the end. The
girls floating by like angels in tullc, dimity,
organdies and lawns, We're all smiles when
the waltz time struck their ears, and every
body braced up and tried to keep some sort
of step when the marches We're played.

The connosseurs pricked up their ears
at the SaIve DimOre" or the 'SchaImeien-
led or Behold, On Y"nder Heights"
and the whole crowd made their hands
sore with clapping when Fanciulli's "Trip
to Manhattan Beach" was begun and closed.
Fanciulli did himself proud. AS he had
cOmplimented the newspapers by making
them select the programme, so he felt
cOmplimented by their selection Of so many
OF his own charming compositions. A
smile fitted over the amiable leaders ha nd
some features as ne raised his ba ton and

Well, here goes for The Times" an enthu-
siastic admirer of the peoples newspaper
as the band struck up that popular compO-
sition. Everybody thought so, too, and
everybody went for The Times and ap-
plauded ii and the march TO the echo. This,
however, was just beginning, Just a
sample of what the 4 900 people on the
grounds could do, for the next number
was Fanciulli's latest march, 'The New

tnOrder to G ct New Members.

Tailors' Assembly, No. 237O, knights of
Labor, met last evening in Plasterers' Hall,
corner Four-and-a half street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
The discussion of farrangementsfor Labor
Day parade consumed the greater part ofthe
time.
The Assembly will join the National Union
Of Tailors and parade as one organization.
Although the Assembly will turn outabout
200 strong, still there is a great feeling
of disappointment because they will not
be able to procure a float To be carried in
line that day.
This, however, is no fault of the members
OF the assembly who were all willing and
anxious TO carry out their part of this
agreement made some time ago with TIA,
merchant tailors who promised to bear
half the expense.
The float was intended to represent the
sweating system in large cities and was
thought to be of as great, ii not more,
benefit to the merchant than to the
journeymen tailors.
BY unanimous vote Morton c. Stout,
merchant tailor, No. 1112 F street north
west, was placed on the unfair list. The
other labor organizaticTs of the city VIII
be requested to endorse this action.
