ton and then inserted In the bylaws.
Some other points as to the relations
Of the workers with the household are
also held in allegiance for further con-
sideration before the document is
adopted as whole.
After preamble setting forth the
need of organization for the emancipa-
ton of the servant girls the objects Of
the union are given as follows:
First.-To raise and uphold our trade to p good
social and economic condition and by mutual eff
fort to place ourselves on foundation sufficiently
strong to prevent further Entertainments.
Second-To perfect strong sisterhood and cal.
tivate feelings Of friendship between the man
bers
Third-To elevate the standard of skill IN our
trade.
Fourth.-To reduce and limit the hours Of labor.
Fifth.-To assist each other in securing employ.
ment and adequate pay for our work.
Sixth.-To establish and uphold employment of
fees for the benefit of the members.
Seventh-To do all in our power to eleHate the
moral intellectual, social and economic condition
of the members of the organization.
Eighth.-To cooperate in founding q home
where unemployed members rest, which shall
be controlled and maintained by the members ac-
cordng to the rules set forth in this constitution.
1t is asserted in the preamble to the
constitution that household work is
''the oldest and most complicated, as
well as the most important, of all trades
"a trade which has been the origin Of
many specialized industry Of today"
It is asserted that this trade has been
woefully neglected and is now counted
as q drudgery. The purpose of the TN
lon is to give the household workers
an equal standing among workers of
all other trades.
Housemaids, cooks, launtlresses and
all other workers engaged in the house
hold trades are eligible to membership
in the Working Women's Association
Of America, as the union is named.
Separate unions are to be formed of
women engaged in hotels and restau-
rants, in kitchens, waiting rooms, din
ing rooms and other work.

HOPE TO CAPTURE THEM.
Chicago Police on the Trail of Post
office Robbers.

Chicago, Oct. 25.-The only develop
ment of the day in the Chicago post
Office robbery case was the arrest at
Corning, N. Y, of three men thought
to be concerned in the theft of stamps
here. The police are working on two
clues which they think will result in
the arrest Of the thieves or at least in
disclosing their identity.
Inspector Stuart has a plan for
marking stamps, which he says would
make it almost impossible for thieves
to dispose of them. He would have all
the postofices in the country num-
bered and the numbers printed on the
reverse sides Of the stamps. When
the stamps are pasted on mail matter
the numbers would be hidden but. an
attempt to dispose of large quantities
of them would at once disclose the
postofice from which they came and
lead to the apprehension of the
thieves.

Assistant Secretary Of State Kind to
Young Reporter.
Late one night a young reporter en-
ployed in the Washington bureau of a
newspaper was sent to the house of As
sistant Secretary Of State David j. Hill
to get information about the develop
ments in an important matter them oc-
cupying the attention of the state de-
partment, says the New York Times.
Some time after he had rung the bell a
window was raised, and Dr. Hills head
appeared. The reporter apologfzed for
waking him and told what he was aft
er. Urbane as usual, DR.. Hill readily
consented to enlighten the reporter
through the window.
''The situation said DR.. Hill, has

and this time considerable volume of

third inquiry from the reporter brought
forth some German. followed on the
fourth attack in French. All the time
DR.. Hill wore an air Of great urbanity
and seemed to be fairly exuding lRfor-
nation. The reporter thanked him fee
bly,.
"Not at all necessary" said Dr.. Hill
as he pulled down the window and
went back to bed.
The reporter walked on all sides of
the sidewalk on his way back and was
thought by unprejudiced observers to
be under the influence Of liquor. The
next day DR.. Hill met the chief OF the

LADY ROBERTS URGED 1T.
"Petticoat Influence" Secured Buffers
Dismissal.


Dismissal.
New York, Oct. 25.-Interesting de-
tails concerning the enforced retire
ment of Sir Redyers Butler are given
in dispatch from London to The
Herald. 1t is an open secret that what
is known as "petticoat influence" has
been far too strong at the war office
ever since the Duke of Cambridge re-
signed.
There are many people who are in
clined to applaud the speech of Mr..
H. G. Richards, K. G. M. B., at North
ampton, who declared that if Lord
Roberts would leave bazaar openings
to Lady Roberts and take the staff
selections and war Office reforms into
his own hands, there might be great
reform at the war Office.
It Is said that ever since General
Butler refused to correct his Spion
Kop dispatches he has been subjected
to the bitter hostility of Lady Roberts,
who used every effort to force her
husband to demand his recall.
Within the past few days her an
tipathy has found fresh incentive in
his Westminster speech. She induced
"Bobs" to go to the war Office and de-
mand of Mr.. Brodrick that he issue AN
order for General Buffers resignation.

THREE TONS OF GOLD.
Steamer Portland at Port Townsend
From ST. MichaeIs.

Port Townsend, Wash, Oct. 25.-
The steamship Portland has arrived
here, bringing $40 passengers and
three tons of gold, most of which
came down the Yukon to st. Michaels.
Passengers arriving report that winter
has practically set in and that the ice
has begun to form along the shore at
st. Michaels.
At Nome the scenes around the
transportation companies offices are
most exciting. Hundreds of people
congregate, al seeking transportation,
and the accommo dations of steamers
due to sail is not nearly sufficient for
the demand. The Portland had a
rough passage down and owing to the
crowded condition there was much
complaint from the passengers.

SEARCHING FOR ROOSEVELT.
Guides Tread Mountain Paths to
Tell Him He Is President.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 14-When
Theodore Roosevelt and his guides left
the Tahawus Club early yesterday
then Vice President fully believed
that President Mckinley was entirely
out of danger and on the rapid road
to recovery.
The hunting party moved in the di-
rection of Mount Marcy, the highest
peak in the Adirondack region. They
had not been gone over three hours
when a mounted courier rode rapidly
into the Tahawus Club with a ines
sage stating that President Mckinley
was in a critical condition. The mes
sage had been telegraphed to North
Creek and from there telephoned to a
point seven miles south of Tahawus
Club.
Extra guides and runners were at
once sent from the club in the direc-
ton of Mount Marcy, with instruc-
lions to sound general alarm in or
der to find the Vice President as soon
as possible. The far reaching mega!
phone code and the rifle cracking sig
nails of the mountain climbing guides,
as hour after hour passed away, mark.
ed the progress of the searching noun
taineers as they climbed the slope of
Mount Marcy.
Just as the afternoon began
to merge with the shades of
evening and the searchers were nearing
the summit of the lofty mountain, the
responsive echoes of distant signals
were heard, and gradually the scouts
and the Roosevelt party came within
hailing distance of each other.
Whan Col Roosevelt WAS raaphod
and informed of the critical condition
of the President, he could scarcely
believe the burden of the message per-
sonally delivered to him. He was
startled by the serious nature of the
news. The Vice President, at 5:45
o'clock, started back for the Tahawus
Club. In the meantime the Adirondack
Stage Line. placed at his disposal, re-
lays of horses covering the twenty five
miles to North Creek.
A deluging thunder storm had rem
dered the roads unusually heavy.
Without any delay he moved as rap
idly as possible in the direction of
North Creek. the northern terminus
of the Adirondacks Railway, where his
secretary, William Loeb, Jr., and Supt.
C. D. Hammond, of the Delaware and
Hudson Railway, with a special train
were awaiting his arrival. AS soon
as Col. Roosevelt started night came
on and rendered the trip exceedingly
difficult and dangerous, as mile after
mile was Travelled in almost impene-
trable darkness. but the expert guides
piloted the Vice President safely to
his objective point.
Not until he dashed up to the spe-
cial train at North Creek at 5:22 o'clock
this morning, did he learn that Pres
ident Mckinley had passed away. Mr..
Loeb. his secretary. was the first to
break the news to him. The new Pres
ident was visibly affected by the intel
ligence. and expressed a desire to
reach Buffalo as soon as possible.
Within one minute after his arrival
at North Creek. he boarded the special
train. which at once pulled out in the
direction of Buffalo. via Saratoga and
Albany. He did not complain of IA
tigue, but looked somewhat pale and
careworn.
