Booker Washington, the noted negro

negroes that the Democrats OF that State
are fifty per cent better friends to the

Pneumatic ThimbIes.

Pneumatic thimbles for typewriters
and pianoists are the latest devices for
nerve economy. The incessant and
regular pounding Of the sensitive finger
tips renders the owners OF them ner-
vous wrecks in a majority of cases, to
say nothing of callous and cracked
finger ends and broken and split nails.
The new thimbles are of rubber, COM
ing in sets, according to the size of
glove worn, and are said to not only
save the nerve shock, but also to in
crease the speed and strength Of the
stroke. e.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

Copper strike near Genoa.

News came to Carson OF very rich
copper strike made in the vicinity OF
Genoa last week. 1t is said that among
the fortunate parties are Jerry Ray
craft, Will Seaman and Will Johnson.
1t has been known for many years
that there were rich copper groupings
back of Genoa, but no very determined
effort to locate the ledge was made
until the recent boom in copper mines
caused some systematic work to be
done. Samples Of the ore were taken
to forge and beads OF pure copper
readily yielded under the influence OF
the fire. All Of the copper ore in the
western part OF Nevada carries gold
enough to pay for economical mining
and it is presumed that this will be nc

has there been so general an advance

DESTROYING FUTURE MOTHERS.
I. Paul Clergyman Preachei
Against WOmen's Work.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 10-Rev DR.. s. c.
Smith, pastor Of the Peoples church, in this
city, whose recent statements in regard
to the women wage-earners and their in
reference with men workers have attract
ed wide attention and criticism, tonight re-
piled to his critics in a sermon. DR.. Smith
said in part:
sIt was in savage times that woman was
the slave and served her master In mental
tasks. We are fast on the road to new
savagery. The problem began when the
discovery Of machinery and the factory
system took the place of the man and tool.
Greedy employers babe the delicate I'm
gers Of woman and the dimpled hand OF
childhood to grasp the fallen task.
Economic conditions have no chivalry
and human avarice have no sense Of hon.
or. The majority Of working women in this
country, now four millions of them, are
between the ages Of fourteen and twenty
five. The great fact of the last decade.
however, Is the enormous increase among
the number of girls under sixteen years OF
age.
I'VE are devouring the possible strength
Of the nation by draining the life of its fu-
ture 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 at hand. No
army Is any more vigorous than the moth
ers who bore them The tendencies of
times when enormous increase OF woman
labor and of immature young women. Is
the economic, social moral and physical
evil of our time, and 1t is the most serious
menace to the nations life"

they already have them in their eyes.
