Want Living Wages.

For the past five weeks the women em- ployees of ex-Postmaster General John Wanamaker have been holding secret meetings under the guise of musicales and entertainments, but in reality with view to organize for the betterment of their condition. As 8 result four assemblies have been formed, representing over 1000 employees. The object is to rid themselves of the petty tyranny of floor and aisle walkers and compel their employer to give them better wages. The average salary of the saleswomen is about $4 week, and they say they cannot live on that. The movement has the sympathy of the sales women of all the other large dry goods firms in Philadelphia. a.-Pittsburg Dis natch

Safety For Women,s Purses.

One of the newest inventions is a device for making it safe for womankind to carry a purse in the hand in the prevalent fash ion. It is an attachment to the purse, con sisting of two small straps one to fasten around the wrist, the other terminating in a ring to be worn on the middle finger. The purse, which can be made to any size required and can be worn on either hand, thus rests safely in the palm, where it is convenient for frequent use and is perfect ly safe. New York Journal.

Tuberculosis at Rutland.
KILLED at Rutland, and all of Them
Found to he Infected.

Herd of % Cows Condemned and
KILLED at Rutland, and all of Them
Found TO he Infected.
The herd of As Holstein cows, owned by
Chaffee Brothers of Rutland, was tested
with tuberculin by DIR. Rich of the expert
ment station, and % of them responded
to the test and were condemned.
Tuesday the condemned animals were
killed and every one was found to be af-
fected with tuberculosis in different stages
of the disease. The Rutland Herald says
this was the first test on that side of the
mountains, and the efficacy of the test was
demonstrated to the entire satisfaction of
Chairman Winslow of the state cattle COM
mission and of the numerous local doctors
and farmers who were present. The ami
mails were appraised at from $50 to $40
apiece by Chairman Winslow and the state
will pay half the value to the owners of
the animals.
Many of the sick beasts were so sleek in
appearance that farmers who were present
were ready to vouch for their soundness
until they saw them opened. On the other
hand, a COW that was old and emaciated
in appearance was declared to be i'll, al
though both DR.. Rich and Mr.. Winslow
decided from physical examination that
she was all right. AS an object lesson she
was appraised and killed and when exam
ined was found to be perfectly we'll The
disease in the affected animals was plainly
apparent to all the spectators.

A Rutland Herald correspondent, at the
scene of the st. Adams fire, writes that
$50 great territory was probably never
before burned over in New England city
or town excepting at the Boston fire of
1872 and possibly the Lynn, Mass, fire of
1880 The secret of the fires awful sweep,
aided by the gale and insufficient appara-
tus, was doubtless the large number of old
sheds, barns, ETC., that encountered the
ground in the rear of the blocks facing on
the streets. These had long been an eye
sore and neglected menace to the safety
of the town. Their destruction is per-
manent benefit to the town, though &C
companied by the loss and suffering that
always attends great conhagration. In
their places will rise substantial structures
affording less easy prey to fire, and st. Al
bans, with the commendable spirit of cour-
age already manifested by her citizens and
business men, will in five years be better
and more prosperous than ever"

An Illinois LYnchimg.

Last week Thursday night young wom-
an living near Danville, H., was seized by
two men who carried her through the
fields, outraged her, and left her half dead.
The men were arrested and lodged in Jail,
and the following night mob took them
out and hung them. The sheriff appears
to have made no determined effort to stop
the lynching. He and several others adj
dressed the mob, begging them to disperse,
and finally Judge Bookwatter was sent for,
and he made an earnest plea to let the law
take its course. He assured the men that
the prisoners would receive severe pun
ishment if found guilty; that the trial jury
would do its duty. But the leaders, who
were among the most prominent men in the
county, replied eyes, we know the jury
will convict them and give them severe
sentence, but Gov. Altgeld will pardon
them out" Soon after the mob resumed
its work and finished it at daybreak.

Oscnr Wilde Sentenced.

Oscar Wilde and his companion, Alfred
Taylor, were found guilty in the Old Bailey
court, London, last Saturday, of unnatural
prisonment at hard labor. The judge in
passing sentence said: 81 never before
had such shocking case as this to deal
with. Two men such as you are by the
very nature of your crime, lost to all sense
think that you, Taylor, should be the
keeper of male brothel, and that you,
Wilde, man of reputed culture, should
be such a perverter of young men. There
is no doubt but that the verdict is just
one, and shall give you the full penalty
allowed by law, and only regret that it is
not more severe. You are both sentenced
to hard labor for the term of two years"

A Duel on the Church Steps.

There was a strange ending to the SER
vice last Sunday morning at the Presby-
terrain church in Troy, KY, which has the
most cultured and aristocratic membership
in that part of the state. AS the large
congregation was pouring out Geo. B.Mont-
gomery and Archibald Riley met on the
steps as they came out and began firing at
each other, and did not stop until Riley
was dead and Montgomery was MORALLY
wounded. The murder was the culmina-
tion of a sensation that upset high society
in the blue grass region three years ago,
when it is said Riley seduced MCntgom-
ery's sister and fled to Mississippi. He
was brought back and at the point of a
pistol was forced to marry the girl. He
Immediately deserted her and did not re-
turn to Versailles until recently. Neither
assailant spoke to the other, and the entire
tragedy took place so quickly that no one
thought of interfering

admirers.
Linden will make the season of 1895 at Brattle-
