NEW YORK HARBoR STRIKE
Ties Up Some Freight Business-Early
Settlement Expected.

New York, April 1.-The four rail-
roads affected by the walk-out of mas

which they asserted that they were
well pleased win their success in hand

statement concluded:

On the other hand, l.. B. Dow. gen.

night.

There is sympathetic uneasness in the

transmission of perishable freight would
be very heavy.
George WEIGH. business agent of the
Boatmen's Union, said, however. that in

CHINESE WOMEN WARRIORS

THE Chinese woman is generally regarded as
i the meekest creature living: but it has been
scarcely two generations since Chinese women
fought CALAMITY against the imperial forces and
the soldiers of England, France, and the
United States.
Sometime prior to 1850 Chinese literary
authority read a number of Christian tracts
and became convinced that he was chosen to
uproot idolatry in China. He formed a society
known as the God Worshipers. and assumed
the title of Heavenly Prince. The society grew
amazingly and his followers declared that he
was the Son of God, and worshped him accord
ingly. Polygamy was a feature of the God
Worshipers' religion, and the founder himself
had thirty wives.
In 1850 the society came into collision with
the imperial authorities. the state religion in
to the support of the Heavenly Prince and for
sometime the rebellion was a great success,
some of the richest provinces of China being laid
waste. In 1853 half million women from vari-
Gus parts of the country were formed by the God
Worshipers into brigades Of thirteen thousand
EACH under female officers. OF these. ten
thousand were picked women. carefully drilled.
The remainder formed sappers' and miners
corps. digging moats making earthworks, erect
ing batteries, and the like.
For ten years the rebels fought with varying
success and throughout the war the brigades
of women exhibited splendid courage: but in
1864 the rebellion was finally put down, the
founder making his last stand in Marking, which
place his remaining followers, including the dec
mated brigade of women warriors, defended
CALAMITY. Finally, however it fell under the
combined attack of the imperial forces, the
English, the French, and the Americans. The
leader persisted by his hand in the blazing ruins
of the palace he had occupied for eleven years.

WOMEN IN QUEER PROFESSIONS
New Fields Opened for the Enter
prise of the Fair Sex.

New Fields Opened for the Enter
prise of the Fair Sex.
The mere fact that women do
things signifies that they have lost
their old occupation, a fact which can
not be concealed by the problems of
bridge or the problems of Bridget,
the Delineator says.
The inventive faculty, commonly and
properly supposed to be masculine, is
most naturally directed to domestic
advantage when possessed by a wo-
man.. A new mechanical device for d
woman's work basket, invented by a
woman, is less surprising to-day than
was the fact that Mrs. Nancy NJ. John
son Of Washington was the first person
to take out a patent for an ice cream
freezer, in 1843, selling the rights for
$41, 500; yet both of these inventions
pertain to woman's traditional occupa-
tions. The broom has been an accept
ed symbol of woman's sovereignty in
all ages, but Mrs. Bissell has found a
successful business career, not by
sweeping cobwebs from the sky, but
with the purely mundane carpet
sweeper.
The Business Mems League of New
Orleans has given to Miss Kate M.
Gordon a gold medal in recognition of
her services to the city as president of
the women's Drainage and Sewer
League. 1t was largely through the
efforts of Miss Gordon that the women
of New Orleans got tax suffrage, and,
as president of the Drainage and Sew
erage League, she is said to have cast
more votes than any other citizen of
the United States. The women, if they
so prefer, may vote by proxy. Miss
Gordon, it is declared, cast more than
100 of these proxy votes.
The latest developments mark the
new day by completely ignoring the
economic traditions of woman. Women
are serving as guides in Maine; there
is woman wireless operator, Mrs. R.
H. Tucker, on steamship on Puget
Sound; Captain Mary B. Green is a
pilot on the Ohio and Mississippi riv-
ers; the granddaughter of Elizabeth
Cady Stanton and the daughter of Mrs.
Harriet Stanton Blatch is a civil and
hydraulic engineer, member of the
American Society of Civil Engineers

The footing of fish horns, the beat
Ing of tin pans, and the ringing OF
COW bells could be distinguished clear
ly, while agonizing screeches from un-

UNCLE HIRAM ON CITY LIFE

Yes, it's lively in the city. where
they've got their 1ectric lights,
And the people soon have wrinkles
from their stayin' out O. nights:
They've got shows and things to keep
'em from a-gettin' lonesome
there,
And they look all-fired stylish in the
costly clos they wear;
But I guess they have their troubles
just the same as me and you,
And reckon that they're often ruther
worse'n ours. too.
We've got wood piled in the woodshed
thatll last a year or so,
And there's more out where that come
from, and more saplin's still to
grow;
We amt worried over coal strikes let
the cold winds blow away,
We can carry in the billets and not
have a cent to pay;
While they're shiverin' up yonder where
they're got so much to see,
We can heat up fer the babies, that

make city people sad;
If it amt a sausage famine why, you'll
hear the waters bad;
When the strikers stop the street cars,
then the mischief is to pay,
And the people have to foot it, gittin'
dubbed along the way;
And the fever epidemics and the small
pox every year
Keep the city people stewin', and I'm
glad to live out here.
Oh, it's quiet in the country, and there's
few uncommon sights,
And Gods moon and stars up yonder
have to do fer 'lectric lights;
But with 'taters in the cellar and with
wood piled in the shed,
When theirs hay stacked in the hay
mows for the stock that must be
fed;
They can have their noisy city, with
the sights up there to see,
And the kind old quiet country will be
good enough for me.
