WOMEN WORKERS ARE MORAL.
These Statistics Go tn Show That In
dustry and Vice Are Not
COnHcnIRl.

Carroll d. Wright, the eminent sta
tistician and labor investigator, has
been looking into the condition of the
workingwomen of the country, and ar
rives at the conclusion that work and
immortality are widely dsassociated.
in recent paper, quotes the Chicago
Chronicle, OH the subject he says:
The popular impression is that wom-
en- wage-workcrs are not up to the
standards prevalent under the old hand
system of labor and 1hat woman's en-
trance into the industrial field has
lowered her moral standard, and the
statements constantly made that low
wages naturally compel women to sup
plement their earnings by an immoral
life. Those who know the circumstances
best are convinced that this view is
absolutely false and that the working
women of this or any other civilized
country are upon as high n plane of
purity as any class in the community.
1T should be borne in mind that reg
ular employment is conducive to reg
ular living, and that regular employ
ment does not as n rule harmonize with
life of immortality and intemperance
or even crime. An official investigation
into the character, surroundings and
conditions of workingwomen in % of
the large cities of the United States,
comprehending information relating to
1856 fallen women, showed that large
proportion of them (1,155) came from
housework and hotel work, the next
largest (505) were from the ranks of
seamstresses, dressmakers and en-
ployes of cloak and shirt factories, while
1,236, or 31.97 per cent. of the entire
number, came directly from their
homes"

Women Of the Foreign Tenants Work
In Fields as In the Ole
Country.

1t is quite widely believed that nature
responds SO generously to man in Cal
..ornia that very little labor need be
expended 10 supply oneself with many
Of the nercsSarGs of life. This may
he true to Il certain extent, says the
Minneapolis journal, but when this
necessary labor falls to woman it ap-
pears Of much greater proportions than
when it is accomplished by men. Among
the foreign tenant ranchers of the state
the women work much harder than the
men, for, besides carrying on their
household duties, they toll in the field,
in the garden and in the barnyard.
Mrs. Ramas, whose husband rents one
of the MANY Stanford ranches in Santa
Clara county, is one of those who, living
within sight Of some of the largest ed
ucational institutions of the state, has
toilCd for many years as do the peasant
women of Europe. During this time
she has not only kept her house and
raised enough chickens to clothe her
family, .but has built fences, planted
and dug potatoes and walked miles
through the grain fields carrying and
throwing out poisoned wheat to exter-
inmate the squirrels that swarm this
section of the country. Her life has
''cen no harder, however, than the lives
OF her Portuguese sisters, and no more
entirely devoid of amusement or rec
rcation. In appearance Mrs. Ramas
is prepossessing and intelligent, and
while her face hardly bespeaks 80 much
endurance, it shows will power and am
bition.

The number of soldiers slain in bat
tie depends a great deal on the color of
their uniform. The more flashy and
conspicuous the helmet and jacket the
better the target and consequently the
2rcatcr the mortality. Red attracts the

hat color are killed to seven in rifle
green, or six in blue, or five in either
brown, blue-gray or gray.

BAD SAND"

Fit. Scott, (Kan.) Cor. New York Sun:
The average railroad official, from the
president down to the section boss, is
thoroughly conversant with the work
that comes in his department., but the
following incident shows that even the
higher officials can maxi mistakes:
Several months ago a Kansas City, Mo-,
company bought a carload of crushed ore
in Mexico. AdviceS were duly received
that the ore had been shipped-twenty
IONS of it. Weeks passed and the ore did
not come. The smelling company polite
ly asked the local agent of the railroad
company when the ore would arrive. The
local agent said he had never heard of it.
The smelling company then appealed to
the general agent Of the road. The gen.
eral agent gave 1T up. Along the line the
question was passed until it reached an
official who started out a tracer for the
carload Of ore. A tracer is a. document
on which every agent. train conductor
and every other person who has had my
thing to do with the shipment must say
whence he took it and where he laid it
down. From the mine in Mexico the car
OF ore was traced from junction point to
junction point until it was we'll within
the railroad comDany's local yards at
Kansas City, and thence to a side track
by the ~rOundhouse and into the possess
sion of the master mechanic.
2 A carload of crushed gold ore looks Ike
n lot of coarse yellow sand, and this par
ticular carload had been knocked about
and d!srespected as a car of common
sand should be. When the officials were
notified the traced had chased the car
into the master mechanics track they
sent him a note asking him abcE> the
disposition of the car, giving is number.
The master mechanic turned the note
over and Endorsed it on the back: I'll
car contained a bad quality Of sand. Some
of it ] used in the sand boxes of the en-
gines but It was not serviceable. so I
had it scattered along the right ofway."
The railroad paid the smelter company
$3.50 a ton for the bad sand"

A BIG DEAL ON

Before the end Of the next 10 days a
few important deals will be contaminated
in this city which will come with con-
siderable surprise to the people who 90
not know that such deals are under way.
The exact status of these deals is not
ripe for mention but an Inter Mountain

the statement that a big deal is on which
may be consummated within "a hours
but positively within 10 days. The cal
will have considerable bearing not only
in Anaconda but in Butte as We'll ana
also the whole state will be effected more
or less in which a leading industry or
Anaconda and Butte will cut an import
ant figure. The deal will take on the
shape of a trust and may extend all over
Montana. The promoters of the scheme
are Anaconda men. The parties OF the
second part are Butte people. 1t VIII De
so far-reaching that it will effect otner
states and will cause considerable sur
in business circles in this part OF the
state. With it will come a power or m
fuence in certain quarters when Will
have a damaging effect on the future Oh
Montana. Enough will be known IN a

few days ago that death resulted. Only

1t seems that Murray was working
near a furnace and that it was his duty
to go to another point in order to unlock
a chain which would permit a ladle full
of hot metal to be dumped into the fur
mace, This ladle was travelling on a crane
in an easterly direction, and in order to
reach the furnace the direction was al
tered at a certain place, changing its di-
rection from an easterly to a southerly
one. Murray happened to be directly un-
der the point where the change of direc-
ton occurred. The sudden jar which fol-
lowed the alteration caused some of the
