They Have Invaded All but Nine
Occupations.
Women at work In the United
States is the subject OF a report Is
sued by the Census Bureau based on
the returns In 1900. In that year In
continental United States the total
number OF women 16 years Of age
and over was 23,4s5,5 59, while those
at work numbered 4,S33.630. Most
Of the women at work were young,
eS.4 per cent. being under 30 years
of age: 44.2 per cent, under %, and
25.6 per cent. had not reached the
age Of 81; 1853 per cent. were mar
ried, TIT per cent. were widows, and
1.3 per cent. were divorced.
The number of divorced women re-
turned by the census, the report says,
is probably deficient, because the fact
of divorce is not always admitted. OF
the number reported divorced, 56.3
per cent. were supporting themselves
wholly or in part. The total number
OF women at work included LII, $50
native white women, whose parents
also were natives; 1,099,744 native
white women, one or both of whose
parents were immigrants; 840,011
white women. who were themselves
immigrants; 1,119,621 negro women,
and 1928 Indian and Monaghan wo-
men.
The number of women at work more
than doubled in the twenty years
from 1880 to 1900, and there was a
noticeable increase of bread winners
among married women in 1900 as com
pared with 1890. Women were rep
resented in all but nine OF the 800
occupations in which bread winners
of the country were engaged.
The returns showed, among other
things, that five females were EN-
ployed as pilots; on steam railroads
10 were employed as baggagemen, 81
as brakemen, Z as conductors, As as
engineers and firemen, and rs as
switchmen, yardmen and fagmen; A
were carriage and hack drivers,
shin carpenters, 2 roofers and u
ers, 1876 blacksmiths, sos machinists
8 boilermakers, 81 charcoal, coke ano
limeburners and II were borers. TWO
women were reported as "motormen.
Almost one-fourth of the TRIAL mum
her of women at work were servants
456.4 0 were farm laborers, 96.S pei
cent. of whom were from the Southern
States. and 361,S04 were negroes
There were 33S,144 dressmakers, 327,

An Accommodating Pea.

One of the disadvantages of mod
ern shoemaking machinery is that
the peg won't fit itself into the hole.
Time was, according to Mayor E. f.
Brown, of Marlboro. when it was much
more accommodating.
"One day." he recently Informed
the Boot and Shoe Club, my father,
a pioneer in the business, hit the
peg and it flew up. What happened?
Probably you won't believe me, bat
it's a fact all the same. The peg hit
the ceiling, came down exactly into
the hole and was driven in. But, you
know" added Mayor Brown, with a
smile, 1--WE don't peg shoes that way

influence over foreign society.
Mr. Lackaye as Jefferson Stockton his
original role, indisputably earned the many
curtain calls he received. His climax in the

The facial expression, the voice and acting
he employs throughout the performance are
distinctly the work of a master whose con-

Hilda Spong maintained her usual ex-

the reputation in which she is held here for
thorough and conscientious effort.
Miss Charlotte Walker also earned much
applause as Virginia, a role which afforded
excellent opportunity for personal charms
and ngenue work.

Walter Howe, in semi-comedy role came
in for a deserved share of the honors. Her.

character is quite impossible, gave a clever

were very satisfactorily impersonated. A
pleasant surprise was afforded by the an
pearance of Malcolm Duncan as Stuyvesant

Automobiles Arrange Outing fol

National Orphans day, instituted by the
American Automobile Association. will be
celebrated by every automobile club in the
country tomorrow. The idea of giving the
orphans an outing once year has grown
and National Orphans day is now fixture
of the automobile calendar. Advance re-
ports indicate generous desire on the part
of motorists to give some of the little I'M

and the Automobile Club Of America will

open to them and every attraction at that
resort will be free to the orphans Several
rich merchants have arranged to feed the
children before they are returned to the
various institutions.
The Automobile Club of Washington has
arranged to give some of the orphans a
similar outing tomorrow. The management
of Glen Echo Park has donated the use of
the grounds to the little ones, who will be
taken there and back in automobiles.
While a number of machines have already
been loaned for the undertaking, it is the
desire of the club to get many more
