BOYS MAY SUCCEED GIRLS
Employees Of the Thomas Manufacturing
Company Have Learned That. -

Employees of the Thomas Manufactur-'
ing Company, tug makers at Ninth and
King streets, say they have heard IL Wills
pered lately that all the girls In tho EN-
ploy Of the company, with the exception
OF ten, arc to DO discharged shortly and
their places filled by men and boys.
Tho proposed action, they say, Is duo to
the company not Wishing to comply with
the recent act Of the Legislature which
compels manufactures to provided for their
female help, when 1t numbers over ten, o
separate wash and toilet room.
The facilities for SO doing ut the tag shop
arc not adequate and the only way tho
company can comply with the law Is by
discharEiug the girls and filling the posi-.
lions with boys. This would mean that
fifty experienced female tag makers would
be thrown out Of work. and the girls ore
consequently very much ruf1lsd.
This morning REPUBLICAN reporter
told Mr.. Bailey, tho superintendent, Of tho
talk and ho denied Id, saying that 1t was
only rumor. But the girls say there Is .
disposition to keep the. matter quiet and
refuse to bclioye that the changes are not
to be made. =.

Shipping Honey.

A beekeeper expresses himself as fol-
lows in Tho American Bee Journal:
1t was my privilege last year to ship
several tons of honey. In marketing
this large amount there were only two
complaints made by the purchaser. One
was that in some CAGES old cans were
used and the other that the grades of
honey were mixed. 1t is often very con.
venient to clean old gasoline cans and
use them for extracted honey. The fact
that such cans can be had for almost or
quite nothing is tempting indeed. I be.
lieve, however, that it will always pay
to only use clean, new, bright cans. It
Is also just as important to be very care
full not to mix the amber or darker
grades of honey with the water white
grades. Itrequires no little care to keep
all of these kinds of honey entirely dis
tinct, By little attention, however,
this can DO done, and unless it is much
Of the first class honey, like that from
white sage, will sell for less than its
real value.

viii Take His Time.

Y Mr. Hugh G. Browne, Chairman Of the
Republican State Central Committee, re-
turned to Rehoboth last evening, whore
he will finish his vacation with his wife.
He said to a representative of tho REPUB.
LICAN yesterday afternoon that he would
be in no hurry to nalno the committee to
confer with the Union Republicans on the
compromise. Ho wanted plenty Of time to
think over the matter and tho men whom
he would name to act in that capacity. The
Chairman is very DESTROYS that something
should come Of the proposed harmony CON
ference and tho two wings OF the Rspub.
1ican party SO cemented together that he
next election in the State will be u walk
over for the Republican party. His pres
elce In this city on Wednesday was owing
to a telegram to look after important
law business.

ANOTHER AFRlDA VICTORY.
Thoy Capture Fort Tundi-Kotal After
a Bloody Battle.

Thoy Capture Fort Tundi-Kotal After
a Bloody Battle.
Simla, Aug. 27.-The Afridis attacked
Fort Tundi- on Tuesday. The
garrison held its own until 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning, when, after very
sharp fighting, in which the native
commander Of the garrison was killed
while CALAMITY leading his men, the
enemy gained an entrance. The fight
was continued for two hours inside
the fertilization by the Khyber rifles
In the tower at the angles of the fort,
which was strongly built of stone. The
Afridis lost heavily before they finally
captured the place. They looted the
fort, capturing a quantity Of supplies.
and then burned the structure. The
fact that no news has been received
of the fate of the garrison leads to the
belief here that they succeeded In
making terms before they surrendered.
The weekly caravan from Cabul.
which usually encamps under the walls
of Lundi-Kotal, sought places OF ref
uge in neighboring village. The news
is confirmed here that the Orakzais
have risen and cut Geographic COM
municatlon with all of the garrlsons
and posts of Kurram valley.
The success Of the Afridis In closing
Khyber pass compels reconsideration
of the whole border question. Under
the existing agreement the Afridis, in
return for liberal subsidies, undertook
to keep the pass open, to furnish men
for the Khyber rifles and to resist at
lacks without British aid. The de-
mands upon the British military re-
sources for certifying Malatkaland
Kohat, ETC., prevented sending fore.
to meet the sudden raid on the pass.
The punishment of this breach OF
faith of the Afridis is justified. while
1t Is absolutely necessary for the future
safety of the frontier that they be dis
persed and disarmed. No such success
as they have temporarily gained has
ever before been recorded on the north
east border. The government Is bound
in common prudence to mobilize
force at Peshawur strong enough t.
traverse the whole country south and
the Khyber pass from end to end. The
policy Of disarmament has never been
attempted heretofore with the Pathen
tribes, but it must now be introduced,
as there is ample evidence that the
Afridis are largely armed with breech
loading rifles.
