Baldwin Balloon Stands Test,

The United States Signal Corps began
its series Of Siderable balloon tests at
Fort Mycr. Va. across the Potomac from
Washington, the other day. with the as
cent of the balloon constructed by Capt.
Thomas s. Baldwin. For seven minutes
the big unsupported carriage glided over
the parade grounds at a height of from
100 to 200 feet, moving up and down and
turning abruptly with apparently perfect
control by Baldwin, who sat at the tiller.
Glen II. Curtis of H~ammondsport, n. V,
ran the engine which operated the 9-foot
propeller at the front of the ship. 1t was
the first time that Baldwin had used hori-
zontal planes for elevating and lowering
the ship. This flight was only prelimi-
nary to the official test. and it had anoth-
er try out later. when it was speeded up to
twenty-five miles an hour. Other trials
are to follow.

WOMEN EARN 20 CENTS A DAY.

French Government Report VIII
Show Miserics OF Home Labor.
The French ministry of labor has in
the press Il volume of 100 pages on the
conditions Of women's work at home,
says the New York Sun. Some extracts
from it which have been published in
dictate extreme misery, especially among
SennstresSes These conditions, the re-
port states. have grown worse instead
Of better in recent years. The factory
laws requiring ventilation, toilet &C
commodations. safety devices on ma
cLinery and shorter hours of labor have
closed Il great number Of mall factories
and workshops. The result is that the
work is now done in garretS and tene-
ment rooms through contractors and
Sub-contraCtors. The competition alhOnS
these and the consequent price cutting
has become so acute that they can hard
ly make a living themselves and those
whCcn they employ are cut literally to
starvation wages.
One example quoted is that Of an old
oman Il widow of 60, who has sup
ported herself as a scamstress for twen-
ty-five years. Sometimes she makes
DillCv cases. sometimes she SewS the
buckle on garters and ~suspenders. She
is able to earn about Il cent and a fifth
an hour and last year made only 139
francs, or $2G. This, with $24 from the
Assistance publiCue, was all she had
to live on.
No doubt this w0nlan's age was one
cause of her extremely low earnings,
Nut the case of Il shirt-waist maker, 40
wears old ana Il skilled workwonlan, is
given as typical. This woman, who is
described us Nine. F.. works at her
trade seventeen hours a day. She
snendS besides two hours on her house
hold duties. sleeping only five hours.
Her net earnings, after she had paid
for thread. needles and the like, is sos
francs or $1O1.60 q year.
Another woman of the same age,
Nine. Z, who sleeps only four hours
and gives seventeen of her working
ones to sewing on shirt waists, petit
coats and aprons, earned in the twelve
months for which her record was taken
$ST.
The case of Il young woman, Nine. l.,
rs years old. is also illustrative. She
makes corset covers, which come 70
hcr from Il suO-contractor. She has q
sewing machine and is paying for 1t
ut the rate OF $40 Il month. She works
fourteen and Il half hours a day and
| rar,!s 30 francs or So Il month Until
her machine is paid for she has to be
| content with two meals a day and goes
| TO bel at midnight supperless. Another
young woman who makes underwear
| for the dry goods stores. earned S61.2O
iii Il year. Still another. 81 years old,
says that in twelve years she has never
been able TO make more Ii SlUO q
year by seventeen hours work a day..
IN the 100 pages of the government
report there are said to be at least
| 1G.8G0 eases equally distressing. Nc
remedy FOR the evil is suggested.

attorney from an up country district OF
New York State was arguing his first
appeal in tho old general term of the
Supreme Court. He had beer In many
legal scrimmagcs in justices courts

4awesome presence Of five sedate and
learned Judges Of the Supreme Court
IN general term assembled. His en-
rbarrassment was great. He repeated
himself ana misplaced his words so
often that II was quite evident that he
must oon be routed by his own con
fusion unless something should occur
TO break the spell. Finally. and just
. he was noundering the deepest in a
chaotic tumble Of language and ideas,
the presiding judge interrupted with
the following remark:
"Mr. Smithers, l believe 1t will be Il

and informal way that you doubtless

grew eloquent and won his case in the
midst Of hearty applause.-Bohemian

of the coal minors for better wages has
been in progress, fifteen men being charg-
eG with ~dynamiting the houses of non
union workers. In the .J"llico minin" re-
gion OF Tennessee the whites have driven
out many of the negro miners, some OF
the latter being protected by the sheriff
and armed deputies. On the 18th 4 house
occupied by Il negro woman was burned,
and she with her five children persisted
in the flames. President Lewis of the
miners union has ordered the striking
miners in the Hudson mine in Indiana
back to work on penalty of FORGETTING
their charter. The new scale of wages
accepted in the Pennsylvania Iron and
