a MERRY PARTY.

At 8 o'clock last Saturday evening,
a merry company of young people as
sembled at the rooms of Misses Lizzie
and Maize Hileman on Iron street.
Candy making seemed to be the main
object, and for time all endeavored
to be useful, either by giving advice
or sampling the candy. By the efforts
cf the many helpers several dishes of
fine candy were produced. This,
with other refreshments, had a quiet
ing effect for a time on all present,
after which several amusing games
were INDUCED in, and at an appro.
pirate time all departed with loud
smiles and pleasant thoughts.
Among those present were Misses
Karns, Hartman, Johns, Beagle,
Maust, Richart, X. Hlleman, Mrs. w.
Herbine, and several gentlemen.

W0kKING-GIRL'S GkEA1
CHANCE.
THE
Domestic Service the Most Comfortable and
Most Remunerative Occupation.

"The average home holds out a far
more comfortable time a more leisure
ly life, healthier existence, and bet
ter wages, than does the Office, store
or factory to an intelligent girl or
woman," writes Edward w. Box of
"The Working Girls Great Chance" {"
in the February Ladies' Home Journal
"The same time devoted, for example,
to the study of shorthand or typewrit-
ing, if given to the study of nursing or
domestic service, would mean twice
the income to a bright, steady girl.
Unfortunately, girls will not see this,
and thousands OF them who are to-
day struggling through an existence in
the outer world, could have far more
comfortable lives and better wages in
excellent homes. How the average
girl can deliberately shut her eyes to
the opportunity which fairly glares up
on her as a good maid, nurse, COM
panion or domestic of any sort, passes
average comprehension. There has
never been a time when mistresses
were reader or more willing to pay
good wages for good domestic service
wages compared Ito which the
pittance paid in shops or factories
sinks into insignihcance. And, on
the other hand, the salaries of women
in business, as recent statistics plainly
show, are gradually on the decrease
because of the willingness ofhundreds
of girls to work for a mere pittance.
Every business house has to-day wait
ing lists ofscores of hundreds of appli-
cants, while hundreds of homes cry
out for intelligent domestic service"

THAT NEW RAILROAD.
Editor of The Tribune

Editor OF the IriDune-
Sir AS / pass around among the peo-
pie nowadays. l often hear them dis
cussing what they term "thc new railroad
scheme" Most of them don't seem to
feel very much interest In it, only az n
subject to talk about. They don't seem
to appreciate the fact that the success
OF the individual operators in their fight
for fair rate Of freight on coal, means
much to every one no has business or
owns real estate in this city. They have
not thought far enough ahead to real
ize that most of the money that will be
needed TO establish industries to hold to-
gether the inhabitants of this great city,
when the coal is exhausted, must come
from the profits of individual operations
In coal mining.
What would be the result If every in
dividual coal operation were crushed out
of existence and this great, leading in
dustry Of our valley should fall into the
hands OF the railroads? It looks to me as
though the wealth contained in these
great deposits Of coal would all be car
ricd out of the country and tho only in
tercst in them, for the city and it's inhab-
itants, would be the monthly pay OF the
miners. Let us go a little farther back
and see what the city would have been
had the railroads owrcd and operated
all coal mines from the beginning Does
itN pll' AllIllh WI NUull nave seen Sucn
buildings as the "COaI Exchange" "JCr-
myn hotel, " the commonwealth" the
"Connel" building. the "Mcars" build
ing, the Board of Trade" or any Of the
fine banking houses or any of the Zine
and costly residences that boautify our
city, had there been no individual oper-
ators? Isn't il a fact that ever so en-
terprising people could not have succeed
ed in building srch o city and in estab-
nj ind riT hi,I
give employment 10 thousands of men
and women, had they not been able
through the individual operator to keep
with them a goodly portion OF the i'm
mense wealth that has been taken from
the mines?
I think the individual operators are
able to take care of themselves; but
also think they are entitled to the moral
and financial support, IL need be- Of ev-

Senator Quay Indicted.

Either Senator Quay Is innocent Of
conduct vicious in both intent and ef-
feet; either he is the victim OF a malic-
iOus conspiracy hoping by spread of
false report and inference to do him
irreparahle harm or he is unfit to re-
