TO aid a better class of girls to secure

TO aid better class of girls to secure
suitable employment and to furnish a
better class of workers for employers who
desire and appreciate competent and lady
| like service, in office, shop, store and
| home, is the purpose of the employment
bureau of the Young Women's Christian
Association. Owing to the very crowded
condition of the old central association
| quarters, the employment bureau is sit
uated temporarily in a room at the
| branch, 800 First avenue N, but as soon
as the new building is opened it will oc-
cupy commodious quarters in the base
ment of the new building.
The employment bureau has been con-
Quoted in a small way eyer since the
opening of the association rooms, for in
the early days" the general secretary in
cluded in her multifarious duties that of
advising with young women about EN-
ployment and of seeking to help them Sc
cure it.. One Of the secretaries continued
to look after the constantly growing de-
apartment until about two years ago a
special secretary was engaged for this
work.
The work is conducted by much the
same methods as are usually adopted BY
employment agencies. but in it's scope and
spirit it differs materially from many Of
them. So far as lies in the power of the
association, it's bureau means to register
women doing all kinds of work and to
fill all kinds of orders. Naturally, domes-
tic help Is the principal demand, but the
bureau has a large list of women want
ing sewing and day labor of various kinds,
as well applications for positions in
offices and stores. A special effort is
made to find employment for women de-
string to do sewing and work of other
kinds in homes.
The work Of supplying day laborers Is
a large one and yields the association
nothing except the satisfaction Of know
ing that 1T has helped needy women to
secure employment and has helped much
tried hous keepers out Of hard straits.
Many Of the women who seek this kind
Of employment at the association rooms
soon get permanent places to occupy all
Of the time they can spare and pass off
from the association books. They only
come to such agencies when they can Sc
cure no work for themselves, and this is
one of the reasons why many such work
ers are an experiment, and. not always
sure of giving satisfaction. An effort is
made to ascertain the. kind of work a
woman is capable Of doing, but this is
often irnpracticable, as in most cases the
secretary has nothing to base her rec

T. O'C0NNOR CITES INSTANCES THROWING LIGHT
QUESTION RAISED BY LORD KITCHENERs PREF
ERENCE FOR BACHELOR ASSOCIATES

Lord Kitchener has succeeded in STIR
ring up a discussion Of some Of his views
that extends beyond the drawing room and
tea, tables and the feminine gossips. The
occasion Of the discussion is. his frank
declaration of his preference for bachelor
to married officers as his comrades and
subordinates. Among the men who have
taken up the question Of the desirability
Of the bachelor state is T. P. O'Connor,
who has this to say in the Chicago Trib-
une: 80
Is it good or is it bad for an ambitious
man to be married? 1t is evidently a
question to which there can be no single
and satisfactory answer. 1t depends much
on the man; it depends a little more on
the woman. If anybody says to me that
he has never known any ambitious man
who was not helped by his wife, can cite
many an instance to the contrary.
IT,, on the. other hand, an equally self
confident person makes the statement that
no ambitious man ever got on who was
not a bachelor, I can give chapter and
verse to the contrary and by the score.

Place-old Officers Reelected.

Chicago, Aug. S.-The temper Of
the convention of the Federated Cath
Ole societies relative to Archbishop
Ireland's warning rot to interfere with
the Philippine question was put to a
test at the closing session. John T..
Keatiag. national officer Of the HI
berni5ns, offered a substitute resolu-
tion for those previously brought be-
fore the meeting. Mr. Keating pro-
posed that the delegates dismiss the
friars and the Philippine school ques-
tlons with a mere expression of salts
faction with the manner in which the
subject is being handled b., the vat1-
can and the administration. This
was along the lines advised by Arch
bishop Ireland. When a motion on
the substitute was put there was but
one affirmative vote, end that one was
Keating's. The convention then
adopted the following resolution on
the subject:
"We hereby express confidence that
President Roosevelt will perform his
duty under the constitution and laws
and our firm belief that he will insti-
tute a rigid judicial inquiry into any

dealings with the serious problems
arising in the Philippine islands, prop

that we appreciate the value of their

congratulate the vatican and the
American government On the position
attained in the negotiations regarding
the questions which have arisen in the
Philippines, and we express our full
confidence that these negotiations
will be continued until a just and
amicable solution shall be obtained. y
Other resolutions regretted the pres.
ent circumstances surrounding the In.
dian schools and pledged active and
moral support in remedying the condi-
tions. The establishment of Catholic
high schools wherever practicable was
advocated: sympathy was expressed
for the Catholics of France in their
present troubles and suitable recogni.
tion was taken of the deaths of Arch.
bishops Feehan and Corrigan.
Atlantic City was chosen as the
meeting place of the convention in the
third week of July, 1903.
The election of officers resulted in
few changes. The officers are: T. B
