Three Persons Burned to Death.

Manchester, n. H., Jan. 15.-A. B.
Blanchard, aged IS, his wife, aged 43,
and a boarder named William Money,
aged So, were burned to death in their
home in Merrimac Saturday night.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
When the bodies were discovered
nothing could be told. The Blanch-
ards were in the habit of using kero-
sene to light their fires and it is
thought that an explosion took place,
drenching all three and at the same
time setting fire to the house, so that
they were unable to get away. All
the bodies were burned to crisp and
wholly beyond recognition.

Worse Than Ante-BelInm na

Before the industrial commission at
Washington superintendent Frissell,
of the agricultural and normal school
for negroes at Hampton, Va, said
that in many districts in the south
the condition of the negro is even
worse than the slavery of ante-bellum
days. Slavery, while bad thing, was
good in this-that it taught the negro
the English language, habits of in
dustry, and some religion. He said
he thought the small farm the best
school for the development of the
colored man.

Want No women Employed in Shops.

Chicago, Jan. 15.-Woman labor is
to be abolished in all factories where
building material is produced in Chi
cago, if a resolution passed by the
Building Material Trades council last
night can be made effective. The
principal reason given for the action
of the council is that the work is to-
tally unfit for women. It is said,
however, that the council fears there
is an effort being made by the manu-
facturers to gradually displace the
men in favor of the cheaper women
labor.
