SHORTAGE OF GIRLS.
Chicago People Cannot Find EnessA
 Ssryanss te Co leand.

Chicago. June g.-The demand for girls for general house work in Chicago Is much larger than the supply. Man agers of number of large employment bureaus. including the three conducted by the state, declare that they are re ceiving every week more calls for do- meslics than it Is possfrfe for them to fill. The Swedish and Norwegian girl of all work still holds her place in the popular demand
 One of the reasons advanced for the inability of many of the employment agencies to meet the large number of calls for domestic help was that many of the girls were learning special lines of house work such as cooking and waiting. Last year it was said the average wages for general housewOrx were in the neighborbood of from $5--J to S4 a week and this year has seen an advance in the scale to from sf fo g. a week. many receiving s- high ss e and e.
 By a careful canvas among the lead ing bureaus it has been found that on- Iy a and so per cent of the calls for general housevork are being filed

San Francisco, June 20.-A log raft containing 100000 feet of spars and piling is 10 be lowed across the Pacific to Shanghai during the summer. This is the gigantic plan of new company just organized under the laws of Brit ish Columbia, and which is to be a branch of a raft company of this city. The latter concern is said to have been very successful in rafting lumber from northern points to San Francisco.
 Except for an accident 70 the first one or two big rafts, which broke loose. all the huge rafts have been brought safely to port But they are. never theless. looked upon with considerable fear by seafaring men and ship owners, who regard the bulky rafts as positive menaces, which should be prohibited from going to sea.
 The new company will send to Shanghai larger raft of big logs than has ever yet been put together. From present plans it will be lowed by one or more of the most powerful tug boats of San Francisco, accompanied by collier or oil steamer with fuel for the tugs.

Another Hearing Will be Held and Her Attorneys Will Try to Have a Fur. ther Stay of Execution.

Windsor, Vt, June 2O.-Attorney E. E. Film. who secured a writ of habeas corpus for Mrs Mary M Rogers, today visited the condemned woman at her cell in the county jail here. The law yer read to Mrs Rogers the parts of the official document which authorized another hearing, at which the w0man's counsel hopes to secure further stay of execution. It was explained to Mrs Rogers that the efforts of her attor- neys to save her life were not yet over and some encouragement was held out to her that the new legal proceedings might operate to bring about anothe. postponement of the courts sentence. Arrangements had been made by Coy ernOr Bell to come to Windsor today to meet Sherin Henry H. Peck and Superintendent Lowell of the prison to discuss plans for the execution of Fri day and more particularly with refer ence to the selection of the twelve citi. zens who under the statutes of Yer mont are to be officially requested to witness the execution. Both the gov ernor and the sheriff were expected on the midday train.
