THE MOST SERIOUS MENACE
FACTORY WORK OF YOUNG
WOMEN SAYS DIR. SMITH.
The ST. Paul Divine breaches An
other Strong Sermon On the Sub
ject of Woman Wage-earners.

st. Paul. Mimi, Dec 10-Rev. S. G.
Smith, pastor of the Peoples church in
this city. whose recent statements in
regard to the women wage earners and
their interference with men workers
have attracted wide attention and crit
icism, tonight replied to his critics in
sermon. Dr. Smith said in part:
1T was in savage times that woman
was the slave and served her master
in meHial tasks. We are fast on the
road to a new savagery. The problem
began when the discovery of machinery
and the factory system took the place
Of the man and tool. Greedy employers
bade the delicate fingers of woman and
the dimpied he nd of childhood TO grasp
the fallen task.
Economic conditions have no chiv-
airy. and human avarice has no sense
of honor The majority of working wo-
men in this country, now 1000, 900 of
them. are between the ages of IA and
%. The great fact of the last decade.
however, is the enormous increase
among the number of girls under 16
years of age.
1--WE are devouring the possible
strength of the nation by draining the
life Of its future mothers. Forty five
per cent of the manufacturing in the
United States is now done by women
Make our women beasts of burden,
and the doom of our strength is near
at hand. No army is more vigorous
than the mothers who bore them. The
tendencies of the times when enormous

ture young women. is the economic. so

NO CLEw Is DISCOVERED.
Officials Refuse to Give Amount of
Loss.

Omaha, Neb, Dec. 10.-A special to
the Bee from Creyenne. Wyo., says
The details of a most daring robbery
are just coming TO light here. Last
night between the hours of and 10
o'clock the office of the Pacific Express
company was robbed of several thou
sand dollars in money, and although
officers were set at work on the case
Immediately and the strictest secrecy
has been maintained, not a single clew
has been discovered. There is a small
force of men in the office at night to
handle express on incoming and out
going trains, and when these trains
arrive the men have been in the habit
of locking the office.
This was done last night, as usual,
and when the expressmen returned
twenty minutes later. the north door
or city entrance. was open. as was also
the safe door. The discovery was made
that all of the money contained in the
safe was missing.
Officials of the express company re-.
fuse to state the amount of money
taken, which is reported TO be between.
$1,000 and $4,000. 1t is reported that
the safe contained large shipment of
gold, which was to have gone to one
of the banks in central Wyoming over
the Creyenne & Northern this morning.
but officials Will say nothing about the
matter. Indications point to the fact,
however, that the loss is considerable
The entire express office force is under
surveillance and the robbery is being
thoroughly investigated.

Boer Guns Everywhere.

Molteno. Cape Colony. Sunday, Dec.
1880 p. m.-Having gone down about
half past IL. the column arrived safely
! within cUpule of miles of its destina-
! tion, the only incidents of the march
being an occasional sudden call of
Halt under belief. that the Beers
were near. Suddenly a terrific fire op-
ened simultaneously on the British
/ front and right flank. The Royal Irish
rifles, which formed the advance,
sought shelter behind a neighborin,g
kopje, and We're speedily joined by the
remainder of the column. 1t was soon
found, however, that this position also
was covered by Boer guns, which were
more powerful than had been supposed
The troops. therefore, sought a safer
position about half a mile away, two
batteries in the meantime engaging the
Boers and covering the troops in their
withdrawal.
The action now became general at
long range, and a detachment of
mounted infantry moved northward
with a view of gattling on the enemys
right flank. Suddenly strong COM
mando was seen moving from the north
and the Royal Irish rifles and the Nor
thum beTland regiment were sent out to
nee. it.
1t was soon discovered. however that
the Beers had machine guns we'll placed
and the British were compelled to face
terrible fire. Finding it impossible
to hold the position in the face of an
enemy apparently superior in position,
numbers and artillery. the British re-
tired on Molteno. the Beers following
up the retirement closely and bringing
two big guns to bear upon the retiring
column.
1t is believed here that the British

SHE CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN
BEATEN AND ABUSED.
A Wild Scene In the Actress Dress
ing Room at the Salt Lake Thea
tire Set Up as One Of Her Reasons
For Divorce From Robert
Taber.
Special to The Herald.)

New York, Dec. 1O.-The transcript
of the affidavit of Julia Marlowe Ia
ber used in the hearing on her appli-
cation for divorce in Lamerlle county
court, has been exhibited. The affidavit
was taken in New York by agreement
Dec. 2, 1899, in order not to interfere
with the engagements of the plaintiff.
The affidavit covers sixteen type-writ-
ten pages and hits Robert Taber some
pretty hard blows.
After reciting a number of violent
scenes, Mrs. Marlowe Taber says:
"On another occasion, when in At
lanta, in November of 1896, he simply
took the tablecloth in his rage and
threw the dishes in the air. While in
Salt Lake City, in my dressing room,
he grabbed me about the throat. when
my maid, Mary Daley. rushed at him,
and he turned on her at once. and she
had to defend herself. ] think the
most harm WAS done to my nerves, al
though / was at times physically unfit
to play. He. would go whole days with
out speaking"
The Tabers went abroad in the
spring of 1898. He went across first
and knew she was coming. but did not
meet her, and was unpleasant when
she found him. He then said every
thing is over between u.s." and claimed
to have told the family solicitor to tell
Mrs. Taber so in America. He said he
no longer considered her his wife.

Greatest Defeat of War.

London. Dec. II, 4:45 a. NIT is hard
ly 800 much to regard General Cat
acres repulse near Stormberg as the
worst defeat British arms have yet sus-
tained in the whole campaign. Al
ready the official advices show that Two
men were killed. nine o.Jcers and sew
enteen men were wounded and nine Of
ficers and $50 men are miscing. But it
is evident that the worst is not yet
known. The proportion of wounded and
Killed is so small when compared with
the miSSing-whO are undoubtedly
prisoners in the hands of the Beers
that the supplementary list of casual
ties is awaited with serious misgivings.
1t is also feared that there We're
serious losses of guns and equipment.
The most serious aspect of the affair
is sfhe effect it is likely to have on the
Dutch in Cape Colony. who have been
lNaVering as to whether to throw their
lot with the Beers. Hosts of the north
ern farmers are now likely to join the
rebellion. Defeat is also serious be-
cause it will delay the junction of Gen
eral Gatacre and General French at
Naauwpoort. The plan was for their
combined forces to relieve the pressure
on Lord Methuen's column.
The disclosure of such a strong force
at Stormberg was quite unexpected.
Doubtless General Gatacre was tha
victim of treacherous guides. But the
result points also to the absence of
proper cavalry scouting.
The British troops who recently occu-
pied Arundel are advancing. They had
several skirmishes. but no casualties
Three miles north of a lndel they
found the Beers 5000 strong.
The Pretoria reports of renewed
fighting at Modder river originated
from the fact that the British. with
team of thirty-two oxen. hauled naval
gun to the top of high ridge north of
Modder River town, whence they fired
Lyddite shells on the Boer position, at
q range of 600 yards. where the enemy
was apparently constructing an en-
placement for a forty-pounder. The
Iyddite shells appeared to do immense
damage. The Beers retired, but the in
cident is interesting as showing that
the Beers are still in position quite
close TO Modder river.
The engineers report that il would
take two months to rebuild the iron
bridge. Lord Methuen is still COM
PEELED to ride about in a dogcart, as
his wound prevents him going on
horseback Should the rains destroy

Republican Currency Bill Said to Be
Forcing Silver to Front.

Chicago, Dec. 1O.-Judge johnson of
the Democratic executive committee
today said:
The Introduction of the Republican
monetary bill shifts the, issue before
the country. The discussion will be
for or against the single gold stand
ard, instead of for or against silver, as
it was in 1896.
The Democratic party will maintain
its stand in favor of free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1. independent of the consent
of any foreign nation-in short, inde-
pendent bimetallism. The discussion in
congress over the Republican caucus
gold standard measure will be the be-
ginning of the discussion which will be

al Gatacre left Sputter's Kraal by train
for Molteno. and then proceeded by
forced march twelve miles toward
Stcrmberg. He had 1000 men. includ-
ing the Northumberland fusiliers, the
Royal Irish rifles and two batteries of
field artillery.
The British were unmolested by the
Beers until the Boer position was
reached when a hot fire was uneX-
pectedly opened upon the advancing
column.
The engagement began at 4:l5 a. m.
AT I a m, after sharp artillery duel,
the British retired. They are now
marching toward Molteno. General
Gatacre found the enemy's position i'm
pregnable. 1t was impossible for the
British infantry to get at the Beers.
