toria in a day or two. Mr.. Curtis, who
returned yesterday, says that he did

Astoria on the morning boat. Upon
arrival here Mr.. Curtis let the contract
for ties for the A and c. r. K. r.
to the Oregon Pine Lumber Company
OF Portland. Mr.. Thatcher is the rep
recentatiye Of that company in this
city. The contract is for about 1000
ties. A contract for trestling from
Tongue Point to Knappa, will probably
BE- let to Clinton & Co, Of Astoria. The
matter simply rests upon their ability
to furnish good bonds, which doubtless
will be done at once. The contract for
the trestle work through the city has
not yet been decided upon as the mat
ter is somewhat complicated.

In manufacturing and mechanical pur-
suits women have found some new and
important industries between 1870 and 1890,
and have not been slow in availing them
selves of the opportunity thus afforded for
breadwinning. There were five times as
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-02-13

many women bookbinders; nearly four
times as many engaged in making boots
and shoes; seven times as many employed
in boX-making; clock and watch making
gave employment in 1890 to nearly 5000
women, and in 1870 to only seVenty-five
The increased demand for confectionery
OF all kinds increased the number of wo-
men employed in that industry from 6l2 in
1870 to 5,67i in 1890 About one-third was
added to our cotton operatives. The tre-
mendous increase in dressing the women
and children of the republic may be
studied in the fact that our army of
dressmaiers, milliners, and seamstresses
multiplied more than five times in the Pc
riod named. Between 1870 and 1890 more
than 100000 women We're added. The great
development of our hat and hosiery in
dustry gave employment to over %, 900
more women than in 1870. The manufac-
ture of lace, employing 4 435 women in
1909, did not appear in the census of 1870.
There We're ten times as many women
photographers in 1890 as in 1870 Our pot
terry industries gave new employment to
nearly 1000 women. The advent of women
into the business of printing and ithog-
raphy has been marked, the number in
creasing from 5Oi in 1870 to l2O59 in 1880
Our rope and rubber factories have found
employment for nearly 5000 additional wo-
men operatives. Shirt collar and cuff
makers have increased from 2,Sl2 in 1870
to 1875 in 1890, while our silk mills found
new employment for from 90 600 to % 900
women. An army of women has invaded
the tobacco and cigar industry, and the
number thus employed has increased from
little over 1000 in 1870 to nearly 2S 900 in
1890 a':let increase of about q 600 women.
AS whole, the number Of people engaged
in manufacturing and mechanical pursuits
has increased from 1853, 997 in 1870 to l,O27,2l2
in 1880. This is about a three-fold in
crease. During the same period the total
number of both sexes engaged about dou-
bled.

manufacture. The increased employment
of women in agriculture and domestic pur-
suits has not been so marked Upon the
whole, the 100000 women breadwinners
of the United States may be congratulated
on the headWay they have made on the
road to Independence and may their ef-
forts be crowned with even greater sue
cess by the close of the present century.

In these industries we find the American
woman literally taking a hand in all
branches. As a blacksmith, she plies the
hammer on the anvil and makes the
sparks fly. She binds books, makes bot
ties, brews beer and works in brick and
tile yards. As a contractor, she builds
houses and as plumber and gas filter per-
forms the most intricate and mystifyiug
work for the householder She works in
all the metals, including gold ana silver
She cuts stone, lays brick, plasters walls,
shingles your roof and tins the cutters

pations that in the past have been looked
upon as given over to the male sex. \
study of these figures not only suggests
the intense fight for existence which has
been going on for the last quarter of
a century, and has made it necessary for
the women of the family to do something
for themselves but it likewise brings out
the fact that our women have not been
slow in taking advantage of opportunities
afforded for wider range of employ
ment. In 1870 there We're /, ,S3G, ,2SS women
employed in gainful occupations. Today
we find 39l4,57l, or more than twice as
many. The increase in the number of men
similarly engaged was not nearly so
great, While woman has taken up some
peculiar occupations, the satisfactory feat
ure of the inquiry lies in the fact that
she has made greatest headway in those
occupations which are best fitted for her.

transportation, and in many branches of

Besides the old occupations we find wo-

them; in the chemical laboratories, admin

THE ADVANCE
OF WOMAN
From the Sun.

From the Sun.
The detailed tables of occupations Just
issued from the census office give some m
teresting facts in relation to the entrance
OF the American woman into various
branches of trade and industry and also
throw light upon her advent into the pro-
fesslons. The totals of the occupation ta-
bles We're published year or two ago, and
from these 1t was learned that the num-
Der of women engaged in the gainful oc-
cupations increased between 1880 and 1890
nearly IS per cent, while the number of
men engaged increased about s per cent
During this period professional women in
creased 20 per cent, and those engaged in
manufacturing and mechanical pursuits
nearly 90 per cent, while in trade and
transportation the increase was 263 per
cent and over, two and a half times a.
great as in 1880. These We're striking fig
ures and naturally awakened curiosity as
TO what particular professions trades, and
industries women selected as a means of
earning a livelihood. This information is
only just at hand in a bulletin transmitted
at the close of 1896 and recently given to
the public.
Broadly speaking, it would appear that
the American woman, like her British kin
beyond the sea, has taken dip into every
occupation. The advance of woman has
been complete, and, with the exception
of the United States army and navy there
are no blanks. She labors in the field and
dairy and tiriVes as farmer planter and
overseer. She gees forth in a boat and
braves the vino and sea in fishing and
drags the bed of the ocean for oysters
She may I've found in lumber camps, doing
duty as woodchopper and lumberman, and
even as rattsman gentle woman has
tried her hand, and is not afraid to own
up to the census man. With pick and dy-
Mantle she Qualries stone and delVes into
the earth in sea- ch of the common min
erals and precious metals. In the profess
sonal world woman has made her appear
ance in every occupation save that of
marshalling armies and conducting war
Her progress in professional life has been
as marked as IN trade and industry. Here

News comes from Attica, Ind, of the de-
struction, by fire, of the big laboratory and
Office building of the Sterling Remedy Com
l,any. makers of Cascarets Candy Cathartic
and No-To-Bac, the original guaranteed to-
bacco habit cure. The fire broke out in one
OF the packing rooms on the third floor dur
ing the noon hour, and had made consider.
able headway before it was discovered.
As soon as it became apparent that the
fire department would have difficulty in
combating the flames, the work of saving
the thousands Of valuable documents, con.
tracts, files, millions of booklets and tons
utmost energy. The Sterling Remedy Com.
Iany is the principal industry of the beauti.
iul little city of Attica, employing several
hundred people, besides being affiliated with
the Indiana Mineral Springs, the famous
Magno. Mud Cure. Hundreds of men, wom.
en- and children We'd with each other in car
rying the contents of the burning building
to places of safety.
Meanwhile the proverbial energy and
and presence-ofmind of General Manager
Kramer, of the Sterling Remedy Company,
was displayed. He quietly walked. away;
and secured big show room near by, and
had all the Office furniture, charred and di.
lapidated as it was, taken there. Before the
boxes had ceased burning, in which the fire
originated, orders were being dictated III
car loads of material were ordered by wire
while the streams were still playing on the
ruins. Several shipments were made the
same evening from goods saved, and on Fri.
day morning, all departments We're at work
in various rooms about town, while gang
of men were cleaning away the wreckage
preliminary to rebuilding.
