A recent bulletin of the United States
Department of Labor contains some inter
esting information as to the ways in which
American women earn money. II is stated
that in 1870, 9. 63 per cent. of all the women
of the country were employed in remuner-
ative employments, but twenty years later,
as exhibited by the census returns of 1890,
the proportion of women thus employed
had reached 12.S1 per cent. of all the
population OF that sex. 1t is apparent to
the most casual and cursory observer that
the number Of women in the various fields
of industry will be in 1900 very much
greater relatively to the whole number Of
women than at the close of any previous
/ decade. This increase in the number Of
women entering new industries has been
| accompanied by decided decrease in the
number of women engaged in domestic
and personal service
According to the Departments digest of
the census returns of 1870 and 1890, it
appears that in 1890 more than one-sixth
| of the total number of persons at work in
the country were wOmens as compared
with little more than one seventh at the
census of 1870. The compiler says that
Iuo iuCledSe III lut pIopol lloH VI NoHiCu
workers is especially noticeable in profes
sional service in which class the women
constituted in 1890 very nearly one third
of all persons 50 occupied, as compared
with less than one fourth in 1870. Women
are also very numerously represented in
manufacturing and mechanical industries,
, and in trade and transportation, in clerical
positions for the most part The represen-
tation in these branches Of industry grew
from two per cent. in 1870 to seven per
cent. in 1890 of all persons so employed
The figures for Pennsy ylvania and New
Jersey are of local interest. In 1870 in
Pennsylvania, Il. 16 per cent. of all persons
over ten years of age in gainful occupa-
tions were women; in 1890, the percentage
was IA. 90; in 1890, IT, "a. In New Jersey
the percentages are: 1870 10 per cent.
1880, 16. SO; 1890, 49, So Thus, in 1890,
in New Jersey, nearly one fifth of all the
persons in gainful pursuits were women.
In some of the New England States and in
certain Southern States the percentage
was much higher at the last census. The
! employment of colored women in field
labor in the South and the large number
of women engaged in the Eastern factories
explain the high percentages in these
communities. The Bulletin announces
that the District Of Columbia has the
largest proportion of women workers. In
1890 they constituted 31.77 per cent. of all
the gainful workers in the District This
high percentage is do to the fact that the
Departments of the National Government
employ women in large numbers.

Manchester. But Notwithstanding the
brilliant variety of the sketches, they
are connected by single purpose. All in
some form or another represent that con
stantly appearing characteristic Of the
Jewish race, its tendency to idealsm.
Some of the dreamers were Missionaries,
futile and deluding; others seemed so to
their generation because they thought
ahead of it; but even when the dreams are
practical, they still have the feverish
quality of over-earnestness which is, as it
were, the shadow of the Ghetto. The
stories are written with deep insight into
character and brilliant descriptive power,
and, where possible, the sentiments ex-
pressed by the several characters are
drawn from their own writings, so that
while they read like romances they have
the additional value of historical accuracy.
The book is dedicated to Zola

RELICS OF SIR WALTER
RALEIGH.

1t is now 800 years since Sir
Walter Raleigh lived III Ireland =,
but, according to Sir John Pope,
Of Hennesey, many traces Of his
residence e there can still be seen.
The richly pe1funled yellow
wall flowers that he brought to
Ireland from the Azores, and the
Affane cherry, are still f und
where he first planted them, by
the Blackwater. Some cedars he
brought to Cork are to this day
growing at place called Tiiyoi
The four venerable yew trees,
the branches of which have
twined and intermingled into a
sort of summer-house thatch, are
pointed out as having sheltered
Raleigh when he first smoked
tobacco in his Youghai gardens.
In that garden he also planted
tobacco. A few steps further on, 3,
whete the town wall of the thlr-
teenth century surrounds the
garden OF the warden's house, is
the famous spot where the first
Irish potato was planted by him.

With the publication of all

verdict Of this community is
that you, Robert Hancock, are
guilty of the charge brought
against you.
Robert Hancock, yon have

asked for time for its investiga-
ton when you would prove
your innocence.
The withdrawal of the plains

drawal of her attorneys in the

as far as the original charge IS
concerned, SO far as public de-
cency is concerned, so far as the
public morals of this community

The burden is still heavy
upon you, and it is your duty to

and examination made into this

tramped upon in the mad rush
for the door. In the confusion
the stove was upturned and the
building caught fire
Before the Mortified members
regained their senses the fire
had made such headWay that all

with the seduction of his wife's

1t is said that Miss Abbott. of
New Bern, has written Governor
Russell letter, stating that all
rumors that she had retracted
the charges against Robert Han
cock are without foundation d;
that the charges are true, and
she still stands by them and will
never retract. She was not a
party to the suit, and could not
control it. 1t is believed that

seek a suppression of any further

most serious charge, one against
morality in the most severe
sense.

public and official positions that
you do. not one day should pass
without an attempt on your
part to vindicate your name
from the accusation :low resting

AS the situation now is, you
are held to be guilty by your
own community.
Robert Hancock Remember
that standing before this com
munity and declared guilty Of
the repulsive charge, as you are,
that your burden of shame aud
guilt is not alone standing upon
your own head.
Your guilt, until diSproven,
rests not alone upon your name
and character, not simply upon
your disgraced family aud kin
folks; but it strikes at your
friend and associate by whom
and through whom you have
received favor ; it places them
i'll discrediied light before the
public, for they with you must
hang their heads in shame until
Robert Hancock clears himself
of the verdict Of public opinion
now held upon him.
And above these. Robert Han
cock, your associations in this
community in your pu1,ic ca
pacity in railroad affairs, in mus
nicipal affairs, in the county
government, on questions of
education.
Can you go among your asso-
ciates with this verdict of guilty
declared against you, without at
the same time making every
possible effort to vindlcate your
self of this frightful charge
hanging over you, your family,
your friends aud this community?
You cannot and every eva
sion, and every postponement of
a full investigation, will only
strengthen the public verdict of
your guilt, and fasten more
securely the odium which now
rests upon this community.

Welded WHEN Me-
DEATH.
NEAR

A peculiar doubt divorce and
love story eliminated last week
at Atlanta, Ga, in the marriage
of Robert L Ivey, who is near
the point of death, to Miss Cora
Chamblee.
Seven years ago, while Mr..
Ivey was sick, his wife secured
a divorce under the terms of
which he could not marry again.
He seemed content with single
life until three years ago, when
he met Miss Chamblee. belle
of Ebert county. Mutual love
developed, and the young lady
declared herself willing to wait
for him.
Three years passed and they
were as far from the consuIn-
nation of their bliss as origie
nally. Six weeks ago Mr.. Ivey
became violently i'll in Rich~
mond, Va, and physicians there
despaired of his life. When Miss
Chamblee was apprised of the
fact she went to his bedside and
nursed him faithfully A week
ago he was brought to his
mothers home in Atlanta.
Last Friday his lawyers secur~
ed an absolute divorce, his
brother a marriage license and
minister, and the couple were
married. The sick man was
pallid and weak. but happy. The
doctor fears his sickness is in
cura BILE, but Mr. Ivey says he is
going TO make a desperate att.
tempt to recover for his brides
sake.
