have lost their ancient sphere of use

household manufactures from the home
greatly lightened the labors of women,
but introduced a new problem. The
necessities which have been produced
by home labor could only be had in
the public market and money alone
could buy them. To meet the new de-
mand a greatly increased family in

the family were not always able to

logical for women to conclude TO sell
their industrial services and with the
wage they earned to purchase the COM

unmarried women, would have entered

most unanimous belief that woman's

walls OF her home. Public opinion Is
not infrequently as binding as law

opinion was upheld visited unbearable
criticism upon many women workers.
They were dubbed indelicate and wero
made to feel that they were outcasts
from all good opinion. Nothing but
poverty served to pardon their Of

The positions open to women were
few and these pitifully remunerated.

the factory cloth soon established Its
popularity and made 1t fashionable.
The next step followed naturally. The
farmer sold his wool for money and
with money bought his cloth; thus the
household manufacture of wooden
cloth was likewise driven from the
home. Fifty years after the invention
OF the knitting machine the factories
were not only knitting the stockings
and mittens of the nation but its un-

1876 and was a helpful assistant TO

Into the latter's brain, Daugherty died

Saturday night Daugherty arrested a

shot. The two negroes fled, Reed was
pursued and was finally captured after
long chase. Afterwards he made a

An angry crowd pounced upon him
and beat and kicked him to death. A

became railroad commissioner.
According to all accounts the boom
for Mr.. Homan has rather subsidized
since that candidate stated that there
was strong possibility he would run
on an Independent ticket If not given
the nomination on the republican tick
ct. 1t is said that Town Clerk Whit
taker who has been one of Mr.. Ho-
mans strongest political friends and
supporters would not stand for the in
dependent ticket bushes for fear of
dividing up the republican vote at
time when the democrats are so strong.
While Mr. Homan might not be able
to carry the Fourth ward, he would be
able to carry a large part of his sena-
torlal district, and large part of the
liquor element of the city, so that the
vote would be divided and the demo-
Gratis carry the city. The republican
machine is said also to be little dis
turbed at Mr.. Romans Independent

would be elected think it quite probably
would be fatal to the regular republic

cold water on his aspirations. On top
of all this George l.. Fox is expected
back from Europe before the active
campaigning will begin.
Many changes in the board of alder
men are expected this fall as several
of the members said that they will not
run again. Some of these are Alder
men Townshend, Curtiss, Williamson

ATTACKS BRITISH
Stead Says Delegates to
the Hague Have Done
Nothing.

Have Assumed The
Position.
LEADERSHIP IS GONE

London, July 2S.-William T. Stead,
editor Of the Review of Reviews, who
has been conducting a publication at
The Hague devoted to peace confer
ence matters, was interviewed to-day
on the progress of the peace conference
delivered a serious Indictment against
the British delegates.
He said: Until last Saturday, when
under the pressure of angry protests
the British government instructed its
delegates to make a belated declaration
OF adhesion to the American plan of
obligatory arbitration, the British dele
cation had done nothing for peace,
nothing for arbitration, nothing in
short for anything the British people
believed thew had been sent to The
Hague to do.
Their action, and still more their
inaction has been the amazement and
despair of all the friends of peace.
do not exaggerate in the least when 1
say that, as far as every priciple the
British government is supposed to have
at heart IS concerned, it would have
been far better to have had no dele
gates at all than the men who have
shown skepticism where they ought to
have been shown enthusiasm, who have
Tepelled where tthey ought to have at
tracted, who have been wet blanket
upon every aspiration of the peace cru
saders, and who have succeeded in ut
terly destroying Englands reputation
as the leader Of the peace loving ma
tions of the world.
AS members of the conference striv-
dng for peace ideals they are about the
most incompetent set of beings that
ever achieved an unmitigated failure.
Continuing Mr.. Stead said:
Great Britain having abdicated her
traditional position, the leadership has
fallen into the hands of Germany and
the United States, and we taught the
Americans that the Germans are warm
er friends and stouter allies than the
British"

PROPOSITION OF U. S.
Statement at Hague to Cor
rect Erroneous Inter
probation.

The Hague, July 28,-M. Nelidoff,
president of the peace conference, in
order to prevent further comments up
on erroneous interpretations of the de-
bate and vote taken yesterday before
the committee OF the collection of pub
lie and private debts, made the follow
ing statement to-day:
The American proposition regarding
the collection Of contraetual pecuniary
debts was unanimously adopted in
principle, as the abstentions from vot-
ing do not affect the unanimity. The
commission of examination is simply
entrusted with the editing of the text
OF the proposition aiming to better sat
dsfy the desires expressed during the
debate"
The special commission entrusted
with the editing of the proposition re-
lating to the bombardment Of unde-
Tended towns and villages met to-day,
DR.. Haferup of Norway presiding.
There was long discussion which
was summarized in an important re-
port Of ten pages, which as yet has not
been distributed to the delegates.
Recalling how Count TorneilH of
italy had combined the original prop
esition Of the United States with the
propositions presented by other powers,
the report proposes to use the term
''undefended" instead of "unfortifiedn
towns.
The article establishing that the COM
mander Of a fleet can destroy the mill
tary establishments Of an undefended
town oily when the local authorities re-
fuse to do so themselves within a.
reasonable time, was approved by a
vote of 81 to 9.
An animated discussion occurred over
the question of signs to be hoisted over
buildings that are to be spared during
a bombardment and it was finally de-
cided that the sign shall consist of a
large rectangular panel of wood or
linen divided into two triangles, the
upper triangle to be black and the
lower white.
