The report of Commissioner
Wright, Of the Department of
Labor, recently sent to Congress,
shows a gratifying and decided
advance made by women i'll the
matter of earning for themselves
a support. The report shows
that i'll almost every occupation
known to business life women
can be found happily employed,
and that wage>earning women
are daily increasing in the whole
working class, and gives as a
reason that "women are more
reliable, more easily controlled,
cheaper, more temperate, more
easily procurable, neater, more
rapid, more industrious, less
liable to strike, learn more rap>
idly, ETC."

A special from Columbia, Tyr>
rel county, N. c., says:
Because it was loaded, when
it was supposed to be empty,
Louis Dillon met his death last
Thursday from pistol in the
hands of AIonzo johnson, in this
county.
It came about in the usual
everyday way. They were mere
1y trying their "1nanhood," when
Johnson playfully grabbed what
he supposed to be an unloaded
pistol, which afterwards went
off, inAicting all ugly wound in
billions head.
Dillon and johnson were fast
friends, and the latter is nearly
crazed with grief.
Now billions bereaved and
dependent family will bemoan
his death; friends will congre-
gate at his funeral; the coroner
will hold a grave inquest and
return some sage verdict; the
county will be put to a heavy
expense while the process of
clearing Johnson of an ugly
charge is going on, but in the
meantime the pistol will con-
tinue its deadly work, because,
forsooth, sit wasn't loaded"
