nAly about LOO cases. about 1900 Of
fee interviews and more than 200 trial
case Investigations.
The majority Of this work was done
personally by Mr.. Thomas. although the
probation officer does not take the credit
for 1t in his report.
In speaking of industrial conditions
Mr.. Thomas states in his report:
Many women have been in this court
or both trial cases and informally that
have frankly told us that as long as
they were at home looking after their
family they never have a single thought
of being unfsithful to their husbands
and families, but when they entered the
factories to work the general atmos-
phere changed entirely; there they came
in intimate contact with both men ana
women, whose conversation was loose
and vile, little acts Of familiarity be-
tween the men and women soon under
mined their wall Of seh-resist2nee, lit
tie by little they lost the love and sa-
eredness Of their home, which they be
gun to feel was a drudgery, yielding
little here and little there until the
wall crumbled and fell.
SPENT MUCH
TIME AND MONEY.
Many factories have spent much time
and spared no expense in providing
- recreation and entertainment for their
employees; this is a most commendsble
thing and ye. it has had some very bad
results
After the days uingling together in
the factory and the employees meet ar
night for the entertainments, there comes
another feature, that of dressed up"
familiarity. Here they dance and mingle
together because they work at the same
place and feel Thac whatever they do is
excusable.
Married women allow the men to take
them home, and say well we work at
the same place. and feel they are justi-
fed.
The wearing OF the overall by the
women has been a wonderful safety
first for life and limb, but a 'deraiP to
the morals Of many.
This situation is not true of all the
factories OF indianapolis. but in a num-
Der OF them.
Case after case has come from the
same factory and especially in certain
departments In one or two factories we
have had several OF the foremen in as
being the instigators Of many downtown
engagements OF men and women under

PROBLEM OF

Mr.. Thomas also discussed at length
the problem OF the negro laborer and this
is the first time that a county official
has touched on this subject, it is said in

FROM THE TRIBUNE FIF.S


CINCINNATI Gazette We venture to
say there is not a man in the west who
stands higher in popular confidence than
Old Abe Lincoln. He is man of the
people. He has risen by the force of
his own energy from the position of
tiatboatman to the honored head of the
Illinois bar He is a man whom no OBJ
stacle could inti,nidate, no defeat, no
misfortune embitter A man whose life
is synonym of honesty. capabiily and
energy is Abe Lincoln.
Several of our neighboring towns are
preparing to observe July 4th and we
zee no reason why Mineral Point should
not do the same.
We are told by farmers that the
chinch bug, the enemy to the wheat
crop, has made its appearance this year
much earlier and in much larger mum
bers than usual Some fields are re-
ported as being literally alive with them.
Richard l., Read, Esq, of this city
and Charles Madden of Dodgevile are
the deputy marshals for taking the
census of this county.

A peculiar dream is that which has
visited a certain Irish family for gen
erations, invariably before death or
some big change. They call it their
kissing lady dream. The person who
experiences it dreams that they are
sitting in very old.fashioned room
before blazing wood fire, when sud-
denly the door behind them opens and
a beautiful girl in green, tight-ftting
garments enters, and, stealing softly
behind them, draws their head gently
back and kisses them full on the lips.
AS she does so there n always the
changing Of steel on stone staircase,
the hurried tramp Of armed men, and
they awake trembling.

The first congress was supposed to
meet on March 4, 1889, and It is a
curious fact that there was not a
quorum of either house present for
a month thereafter. Only eight sena-
tors were present on March 4, and they
adjourned from day to day until April
6, when a quorum was present. Only
10 members of the house assembled
on March 4, and quorum was not
present until April /. The ConsHtu-
ton of the United States took effect
in the following states: Delaware,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland,
South Carolina, New Hampshire, Vir-
ginia and New York, on March 4,

For fully a week the country has
been upon the tip toe Of excitement and
interest as to who would be the choice
of the Republican convention for pres-
dent and vice-president. 1t was the
determined purpose of party leaders
to place in nomination President,
Gen. u. S. Grant, but large number
of delegates were opposed to the third
term idea. For thirty-three ballots
there was no marked change in the
votes. On the thirty-sixth ballot, James
A. Garfield received 1893 votes and was
nominated for president Chester A.
Arthur was named for vice president.
The Grant supporters stood by their
candidate to the last, giving him 300
votes on the final ballot.

Mnemonic for Grams.

Scientific papers are getting to use
the metric system Of weights and
measures more and more, and II has
become almost necessary for every one
TO be able to convert such terms as
grams into ounces at once. II is not
however, easy to remember that there
are 2S.35 grams In an ounce. How
ever. If one remembers the sentence,
at converts one ounce" the figures
will instantly recur to the mind, For
the number Of letters In each word
gives 2-s-3-5.
Mnemonics for other terms of the
