A Woman as Saw Mill Hand.

"A brawny woman clad in blue cot
tonade waist and skirt, who is able to
run saw mill engine as we'll as any
man in the business, is rather an un-
usual sight," said Walter Wade, OF
Louisville. KY, "but that is just what
saw in a Tennessee woods a few
weeks ago. The female engineer g
name is Annie Fables, and she told
me she had been doing full hands
work at the mill for six years. Five
years ago she decided she could run
the engine, and the mill boss told me
she had been one of the most careful,
as well as one Of the most competent
he had ever seen.
MRS. Fables lost her husband six
years and half ago. and few months
afterward she asked for place in the
mill where her liege lord had been
employed. She began working as an
off-bearer. and in year and hall
was put in charge of the monster
piece Of machinery which furnished
motive power for the large circular
and straight saws. She has all along
earned mans wages and has been
able to support and give her seven
fatherless little ones a good common
school education. She is fond Of the
hard labor, and has lost but FIVE days
during her connection with the mill
and then ~she was ministeriug to 9
sick child"

MIR. Bailey said they would probably be
willing to forego general debate If an ar.
rangenent could be made to consider the
entire bill for amendment under the five
minute rule The chief amendment, they
desire to offer is for an income tax,
which they believe can be framed to meet
the decision of the Supreme court. They
are also opposed to some of the provisions
of the stamp act which they believe will
prove onerous and irritating, and it is
likely they will offer propositions in lieu
thereof for tax of fifty cents Der barrel
on petroleum and a graduate tax on rail
road and other transportation tickets both
of which propositions were considered by
the Republicans of the ways and means
committee but rejected. There is con-
siderable opposition to the bond feature
of the bill, and motion will undoubted-
ly be made to strike it out. The whole
week in the House is likely to be given
largely to the consideration of war meas

will be consumed in disposing of two
election cases and other minor matters.
