Women In Business and Matrimony

An interesting contribution to
sociology is furnished in recent re-
port Of the Massachusetts Bureau Of
Labor Statistics on the decline Of
marriage In that state The number
OF single women in 1885 was 1,070,-
161. In 1905 the number was 1865
1e9. There was an increase in the
number Of married women from 1885,
$50 to 1,134,315. Ten years ago there
were 330,565 more single than married
women In the jurisdiction. Now the
single women outnumber the married
by 533,854. The head of the bureau
characterizes the disparity as start
ling. He attributes it chiefly to the
fact that women are entering the
business field, and are therefore not
SO dependent on marriage for liveli-
hood as Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger.

CALLS THEM HEROES
President Watson Has High Praise
For Mine RGScuers.
ALMOST ALL THE BODIES ARE OUT
Believed That Only Four or Five
Additional Bodies Will Be Re-
covered Many Victims Car
ried Insurance.

The number of dead bodies taken
from the mines at Mononsah has
now reached 800 and the work of re-
moving the bodies is practically COM
pleted But few more bodies that will
ever be reached now remain in the
mines.
Mr.. Watson, the president, gives the
men who compose the rescuing par
ties, unstinted praise, calling them
heroes. This is indeed true, as the
men take their lives In their hands
each time they enter the mines.
Two forces OF men are at work
clearing up falls where it is thought
dead miners may be entombed. The
number in each force is As, and they
are working eight hour shift. The
men are only making search for
the miners. Mine Inspector ]. W.
Paul gave orders that the mines
should not be disturbed except where
1t was necessary to get body. 1t
is thought that very few bodies re-
main under the falls. The debris is
still very loose and the men can be
located by the odor of their decaying
bodies. General Manager Lee L. Ma
lone, who has been through the mines,
gave it as his opinion that there are
not more than four or five more bod
les to be found.
The coroner's court will likely con-
yene on Wednesday morning. Coro-
ner e. S. Amos and Prosecuting At
torney Scott c. Lowe went to Monon
gah this afternoon at o'clock to
confer with State Mine Inspector J.
w. Paul In regard to the time Of hold
ing the inquest A complete copy of
the testimony Of the witnesses giving
the verdict before the coroner, togeth-
er with the verde, of the jury, will
be delivered to the State Mine .Inspec
tor. The coroner has power to sum-
mon and to compel the attendance Ct
any witness that he desirer. A com
plete return OF the inquisition ana
recognizanees viii be MADE to the Cir
cut court.
1t is not known at this time wheth-
err the jury will be taken through the
mines or not. II the jury does go
through it will be likely after the evil
dence is taken.
Coroner Amos deposited the sum of
s367.12 in the Peoples bank of Fair
mont. This was all the money that
was found except $2S.19, found on the
body of Andy Morris Morris money
was turned over to the proper reIa-
,tives.
Many of the miners carried insu-
rance in the various fraternal orders.
Ten Of them were insured in the Ger
man Beneficial union at $4,000 each.
Other orders have many policies to
meet.
