IRELAND'S HANGW0MAN.
The Very Last Position for which
One Would Expect a Member of
the Gentle Sex to Compete.

Women compete with men in many
trades, professions and other means
of obtaining a livelihood, says the Lon

which one would expect to find the
gentle sex is that which was so re-
Gently followed by Mrs. Ellington.
"Hangwoman" is an Objectionable
term, but is duly entered in the New
English Dictionary" The woman and
the word are both nineteenth century
productions. Lady Betty" as she
was called, was not ill-favored, either,
and is described in the Dublin Uni
versity Magazine for January, 1850,
"as a middle-aged, stout-made, dark
eyed, swarthy-complexioned, but by no
means forbidding woman" Ireland
was the scene of her labors, and she
oficiated unmasked and undisgUised
as hangwoman for a great number
of years, and often fogged in and
through the streets, being extremely
severe, particularly on those of her
own sex.

The bookkeeeper for a commission

to engage in farming enterprise in

"The life is not pastoral dream nor
yet charming madrigal," says the
amateur. "But I expect to enjoy it
more hereafter because there will be

when he was quite sure we had no
more whisky" said the bookkeeper,
according to the New York Times, che
confessed that he was feeling better.

How did you ever catch such
dreadful chill, my poor man?'

These international courtesies are the

ocean, cementing them in the bonds OF
lasting friendship. Time and money
could not be better expended than in
making such friendships.

gained labor that resulted IN strikes.
Bat ~ith-4he development ef~the CONNER
cial, mining and manufacturing interests
of the State, now so rapidly going on, We
will have the same experience with strikes
that other states have had and are now
having, unless some plan for their proven
ton is devised. In fact, at this writing a
strike is on at Norfolk, the employees of
the Norfolk Railway and Light Company
having quit work and. with mob violence
have been preventing operation Of the
electric cars in that city. The police force
of the city and armed soldiers have been
called to the scene 10 protect life and
property. This condition at Norfolk has
caused Senator J. n. Hartman, our repre-
sentative in the State Senate, to introduce
a resolution which is intended to create an
authority in Virginia for the settlement OF
troubles between organized capital and or
ganized labor and to prevent strikes. The
resolution provides for a committee Of
three TO report bill to the next Legisla'
ture providing for the proper reference of
troubles between organized capital and or
ganized labor to the courts or some other
tribunal of arbitration.
This is a good move, and it is to be re-
GREETED that some such bill could not be
framed and passed at the present session
of the General Assembly. Mr. Harman's
resolution at first so provided, but on the
request of Mr. McIlwaine, chairman of
the Committee on Courts of Justice, he
changed the resolution to have the bill re-
ported to the next Legislature.
We are in hearty sympathy with such a
movement. Demagogues may call it
government by injunction or what
they may please; but there ought to be
some certain, substantial and efficient
remedy lodged with the CIVIL authorities to
prevent and control strikes. We believe
the Federal Courts have already authority
to stop strikes, but they have no power to
arbitrate and prevent them. A civil tri-
bunal invested with power to arbitrate the
differences between capital and labor, and
settle all disputes in an equitable way, will
be great blessing to both. Our higher
civilization has progressed too far to long
er have the country disgraced by the aw-
full results that come from conflicts be.
tween labor and capital. We believe a
plan for their prevention must and will be
evolved. Perhaps Senator Hartman has
struck the keynote.

WASHINGT0N'S SWORD.
Monoure D. Conway Calls Attention to a
Curious Incident In Which II Figured.

Mr.. Moncure d. Conway, in discussing
the historical question as to whether or
not Frederick the Great ever presented a
sword to Washington, writes to the New
York "Sun" as follows:
Although the Washington sword at
Albany had TO connection with Freder-
lex the Great there is a notable episode of
American history relating to it which l
desire to note. The sword is one of the
five swords bequeathed by Washington to
his five nephews without particularizing
about any, as he would naturally have
done had either been the gift of Frederick
the Great. This dress sword was chosen
by Bushrod Washington. At his death
it passed to his brother Corbin, thus in
herited by Colonel Lewis Washington, of
Bel Air, near Harpers Ferry. Probably
because of its ornamental character the
old legend invested this sword, and in the
absence of any inscription the family
tradition was that the gift had been &C.
companled by verbal message. From
the oldest General in the world to the
greatest
"Wben John Brown was planning his
invasion of Harper's Ferry he sent a spy
Cook there, who informed him that at
Bel Air there was sword sent by Freder-
lick tie Great to General Washington.
When the raiders arrived Brown was 30
anxious TO get hold of that sword that LIE
sent six of his men off to Bel Air, four or
five miles, to capture it, Colonel Lewis
Washington, captured at the same time,
said in his testimony that Brown said he
wished to get hold of the sword because
it had been used by two successful gen.
erals Thatsword he held in his hand
during the whole of Monday
by detaching six of his men to get
that dress sword-presumably never worn
on any battletield-John Brown wasted
the greater part of the only day in which
be and his men might have escaped. Sew
enteen lives were sacrificed to a mere
myth. The tremendous result of those
'martyrdoms, due to John Browns su.
persttion, is one more illustration of the
part played by fables in making history
as well as recording it.
