WOMEN AND THEIR WORK.
Men Complain That They Are Driven
Out of EmpIoyment

From the New Orleans Picayune
The following gives some interesting
facts in regard to the competition OF wo-
men with men in the different depart
ments of labor:
There were sore % 100000 persons Of
both sexes engaged in gainful pursuits of
all sorts in 1890. OF these about 1900, 600
were females and 1S,O00,OOO males. There
were. according to the same census, about
13,0DO.Uo0 families in the United States. In
1850 there Were 10,O0O 900 workers of both
sexes sexes; and Of these one-twentieth. or
100000, were females. These were en-
gagged chiefly in clothing factories cotton
mills and in shoe binding and they were
found almost wholly IN the New England
states. whose men had gone away to sea
or TO the new lands of the west and left
their women dependent. In the ives. and
in the south woman seldom wen. away
from the home to work, or, if So they

was vastly changed. A million mer lost

pendent. 1t was new thing to see white
women in the southern states start out to
seek work in avenues that had been pre-
Vtously closed to women. They could not
take domestic service. because such places
were mono polized by the negroes who had
been brought up to that sort of work. The
pests of teaching the young did not afford
places for all who were forced to work and
thus white wonIen of The south ernulated
their sisters of the north and west in seek

every honorable work within their capac-

1t is not only unTnanly, but il is out

tteir own fault. If every man who pre-
tends to be a man were supporting a wo-
man as he should. there would be probably
4W0.GO places in offices, stores, shops and
factories that are now occupied by women
workers left free to men, and the women
would be at home.
The worst feature in the entire situation,
Is that the women are put off with about
tne-haif the wages given to men for the
same service. This is an outrage in many
cases.

Getting Along in Kentucky.

From the Sioux City Journal
An anecdote of Bishop Thomas W. Dud-
ley reveals, in his own words the secrets
of his success
When ii was first known in the city in
which he was settled that he was to go to
Kentucky some of his friends were dis
posed to be critical.
You are not going to Kentucky, are
you?" asked one
Yes indeed
do you know what kind of a state that
t?" l stw in the paper that one man
Killed another in Kentucky town for
treading on a dog"
The bishop said nothing, and the man
continued impatiently:
What are you going to do in place like
that?"
I'm not going to tread on the dogs!' was
the CAIN reply.

BIG LOTTERY IN SPAIN.
Will Try to Raise S1OD,OOO,OOO by
the Scheme.


From the New York Times
Under the auspices of the Spanish gov
ernment a great lottery scheme will be
launched in Madrid the receipts of which
minus the prizes, will be turned over to
the government for it's most pressing needs
it is thought that by September the sal
aries of civil and military servants recent
ly suspended can then be made good. Cir
culars are being sent out all over Europe,
and it Is expected that 500, ,000, 600 pesetas,
about s100,00o,000, will be netted by the
government. There are five capital prizes
of 100000 pesetas each The lottery is not
new in Spain, but the Spanish lottery has
never beel popular in other parts of Eu-
rope, investors Dreferring to take their
teries. The Spanish lottery in 1897 brought
the treasury 100000 pesetas, in the same
year the Portuguese lottery gained 1.75J.-
600 milreis nearly s2,CC0OOO). The lottery
is authorized in other countries of Europe.
II Italy last year the government gained
g. 600 900 lire (s12, 4G0, ,000}, showing that the
poor laZZarone was not without his saw
fngs. In Holland the official lotteries gain
ed 100000; in Denmark the winnings
amounted to about $JO0,000 more But the
PrussiGn iottery, which is annually operated
under the direct authority of the state, is
the most popular. There are number of
prizes of J00,C00 marks every year, and
in 1897 the receipts of the treasurer
amounted to over 1o3,000,000 marks.

our friend, for on, his visit to America he
gave frequent utterance to the sentiment
himself Ii Hung Is again in high office,
acting as chancellor under the empress
dowager This remarkable woman is the
real ruler of China. She has been SO for
a number Of years, and now it seems the
weakness of the emperor has grown so pro-
nouneed that no further attempt is made
to conceal hts incapacity for dealing with
state matters. The empress dowager is
confessedly at the helm. and Prince Ii has
been restored to fullest favor, displacing
the Chancellor Weng, who has been a dis
tressing weight upon Chinese progress. Ii
Hung is to the full as exceptional a char
acter as he empress. If he was young
man We believe he would have a good

at his age. when he has fully earned re-
irement, the cares of office must be very
