or of Chicago and Northwestern Railway company; MT. Samuel Rea, vice president of Pennsylvania Railroad company.
 sI would suggest that the attention of the board be called to the adyisability of arranging for these gentlemen to assume their duties as directors of the company as soon as possible without awaiting the annual election.
 1t is my opinion that a board thus con stituted will contain within itself the ele- ments best adapted for the formulation of the plan referred to in said memoran- dunn, in connection with MT. William k. Vanderbilt, named therein as referee
 Every important interest will have it's representative, who will be brought into close touch with the situation as whole, and there should be no difficulty in reach ing a conclusion that will be fair and just to all concerned and tend to the establish ment of permanent harmony among the different lines. To this end I shall be glad to cooperate in such manner as will seem desirable"
 This letter from Mr. Morgan, just made public, is the most important development in financial circles since the now ceIebrat- ed Northern Pacific corner of May 9. It means the complete reconciliation in the leading financial and railroad interests of this country and that the western railroad situation is now under that harmonious control which represents the interest of the community of interest idea" In oth- CT words, the harmony of the most power full financiers of the country is complete and absolute. A settlement has been arr rived at which includes all the interests involved and which are popularly desig- mated as the Morgan, Rockefeller, City bank, Kuhn, Loeb tS Co.,, Hartman, Vanderbilt and the Pennsylvania inter ests. 3fsfB

WOMEN AND TIPS.

 whence his tips come A lady writing under the initials R. A. D. controverts this oft-made statement, and for our part we agree entirely with her that the comparative smallness of a wo- mans gratuities does not necessarily show that she is less generous than a man. There is a reason for it, and very good reason, too. Women writes R. A. D. even we'll dressed women, are often exceedingly short of money
 Wives and daughters of men in good position sometimes have no regular al- lowance If they have an allowance, or if woman earns for herself, the amount is generally small compared with the sums that a man Is accus- toned to deal with We have not the slightest doubt that many a man who is apt somewhat to pride himself on the substantial tips he gives to railway

 Tn the stores it is rare to see women employees with gray hair or past middle age. They are mostly young girls. Tn the departments probably thirty-five 1 per cent of the female employees are past middle life, and twenty-five per l cent. are over fifty years of age There are hundreds of women in the depart ments over seventy years of age, earn ing from $500 to s1 400 and s1 600 year. In no other field of labor are positions paying such very high salaries opened to be filled by women of seventy, srandmothers, in fact.
 According to some late figures com- piled by the United States civiI-service commission some extremely interesting analyses comparisons and deductions may be drawn.

There is John Clark, rich merchant, his daughter Elise, and Signor Maziotti, an Italian nobleman. Brandon, though innocent, is sent to jail for robbing the club s safe of $11,000, Mary is left homeless and penniless. Dooley loves and be- friends her. and believes her father a victim of conspiracy. The girl changes her name to Mary Manton and becomes the governess of Baby Clark The mo- bleman visits MT. Clark and discovers Mary. Upon his revealing her identity she is sent adrift in the great city. With the aid of "Birdy" Bolden. his accomplice, Mazlotti plans to abduct Elise. She is taken to Central park. In this scene Dooley appears in the dis guise of laborer, and Mary happens around to see the child. Suddenly a cry is heard and Baby Elise is missing, "Birdy" having driven her off in cab. The rest of the plot is exciting and ab- sorbingly interesting. The play ends happily. Dooley and Mary are engaged, while the villainous nobleman and "Birdy' get their reward-full justice. Heart interest is the chief character istic of the play, and one of its most popular clements. The scenery is real istic and picturesque.

In the Census office there are over flf- teen hundred women, most of whom draw $14.61 week or $75 a month, and the aggregate total of our queens rises, therefore, to considerably over eight day. or more than a large proportion of men in salaried and earning pursuits. Naturally, they look cool and comfortable as they ride to work every morning in the open cars.
