THOUSANDS OF GIRLS OF WORK, HALF BRINK OF RUIN, NOW THERE ARE OUT STARVING AND ON THE Miss Mary L. Thompson, writing to Miss F. Pryor, corresponding secretary of the Young Women’s Christian Association, Berkley Street, Boston, Says : You have seen, | suppose, that we have an employ- ment office in connection with this which has two departments, one’ for domestic servants, the other for the higher work. years ago large numbers of girls came from the Provinces for domestic work, and many were most valuable servants, and positions were easy te obtain for them. The state of things have changed recently. There are as many coming for before, but they ask for places 438 companions, grovernesses, seamstresses, lady's maids and housekeep- ers. To not one in twenty can we give this work. We have scores of names already on books which have been registered for months, and no prospects yet. One lady came here from Halifax in March. She had been a teacher and was competent to fill a good position, but we told her it would be almost impossible to obtain one for her. She felt that we were mistaken as do many others there many seem most desirable numberless ‘‘ads.” work. She has associ- ation grades of Some work as our some of because are so that to offer places. She had answered and has obtaiwed no advertized herself and obtained no answer. She leaves no stone unturned to find work, and told mea few days ago, ‘‘l was right, it was almost im- anything to do except house- work outside of Boston have no idea of the miserable wages paid for writing and clerking. Many giris get only $2.50} to 85 per week. Out of this they must pay! their usually as much as $4 per week, course only girls whose parents live here can afford to work in such places. There are more girls here now than can be supplied with sewing, so it is of no wse for advertisements possible to get Girls board, so OT others to come for that work. Hosts of girls come from the provinces asking for ‘chamber work,” and ‘* second work,” not knowing what these two ** Second work ” here in Bos- always includes washing and ** Parlor work” means waiting on table, care of china closets, and heavy lift- ing and sweeping. In our institution here we have a house-work training department in which we take girls from 15 to 50 years of age, if they really desire to know how to work Board them for three months ; give them training in all branches of house- washing, ironing, sweeping, tending and tind them excellent places at the end of that time. If girls that are willing to do housework, and who do not know how to do it willcome to us from Halifax or anywhere else, we will be glad to take them there. Cannot something be done by the papers to show the true state of affairs here? Again antl again women come to us who have spent «almost their last dollar to get to Boston and are in des- pair at finding that the ‘‘easy places” for which they come are not to be found. | They are ashamed to go back home and yet have no money to pay their board, and are too preud for honest housework. The ad- vertisements in the papers here constantly mislead the girls. There are many of them things mean. ton ironing. almost work table, etc., not reliable—-e pecially those m the cheap | paper Which fall more readily into the} viri 3 hands, anu many oO1 them are traps ; » mislead and injure romen. If it lies in your power todo something toward show | ing girls the truc state of things here; if! you are able to influence ans givis to give | up the idea that easy work is offered here, | we believe you will save many a woman | from certain heart-ache and possibly ruin. 1 scrence, The Political Alphabet.

On the curtain an Island scene by an Island painter—one of the early works of Mr. R. Harris, R. C. A.—which was greatly ad- mired ; and the fittings and arrangements were fappropriate—not to the dingy Hall—but to the ‘* Vivants.” The persons were well chosen for the various tableaux ; and the natural symmetry and beauty of the figures appeared in the new light by which the audience viewed them to great advantage. The instrumental and some of the vocal accompaniments were excellent. St. Peter’s Boys’ Band played wonderfully well ‘*for such little fellows,” showing marked improvement since their first ap- pearance and winning the applause of the audience. Taken as a whole, the enter- tainment was, in a high degree, artistic, chaste and pleasing, and reflected great credit upon those who took part in it. hess of duct of was portrayed om + Wonderful Short Distance Running The fastest short distance running ever known in America was done by Wendell Baker, Harvard, ’86, of New York, at Beacon Park, Boston, a few. days ago. Baker has had an amateur record in a 220 yard dash for two years of 22 2-5 seconds, raade at the intercollegiate games in New York, May 24, 1884. To spur him in his work three of Harvard's fastest run- ners were given handicaps as follows: Rogers, ’87, seven yards, Lund, °88, seven yards, and Wells, 86, five yards. At one hundred yards Baker had passed Wells and at 150 yards got even with Lund, but Rogers was too fast for him to catch. Such was the excitement that it seemed an in- credibly short time before the men finished. Rogers led Baker by three yards. Lund was almost ahead of the champion, while Wells was a yard in the rear. The official time was announced as follows: 150 yards, 14 7-8 seconds, beating all records English or American ; 180 yards, 17 7-8 seconds, beating the world’s record; 220 yards, 22 seconds, beating his own 2nd the best Eng- lish amateur record. Competent judges claim that under favorable circumstances Baker can and will lower the record to 21 seconds. His performance wes all the more wonderful from the fact that the track was soaked and he was obliged to run in the mud. eee <a me Nova Scotia Elections. (Halifax Chronicle—Goveriment Organ. ) Were the Atlantic Provinces to unite and set up house-keéping for themselves, they would have no difficulty in negotiating a reciprocity treaty with the United States, our natural market for all our exports. The advantages of such a union are obvious and manifold, and we have no doubt that should the matter be fairly placed before the people of New Brunswick end Prince Edward Island they would see it im the same light as do the people of Nova Scotia. Should they think differently, however, and choose to remain where they are and suffer all the evils which confederation has brought upom them, Nova Scotia must simply go ahead and demand that she be permitted to ‘** paddle her own canoe.” We believe that the British Government will not turn a deaf ear to our request. It can be established, it has been established to the satisfaction of every unbiassed and impartial mind, that Confederation has been a curse to this Pro- vince. We have followed Imperial advice and given it not only a fair trial, but more than a fair trial. We have endured its blighting effects for nineteen years, and we simply request that the burden be removed. The request is reasonable, and coming from an ancient and loyal colony, will, we be- lieve, receive tho gravest attention from the imperial authorities. At any rate the gov- ernment of Nova Scotia will be untrue to their pledges if they do not fulfil, as far as constitutional methods will permit, the wishes of the people so unanimously ex- pressed at the polls on the fifteenth. The demand for repeal must and will be placed before the government and parliament of Great Britain. i > <S—— Scott's Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites | {is more reliable as an agent in the cure of Consumption, Chronic Coughs and Emacia- tion, than any remedy known to medical ; it is so prepared that the potency of these two most valuable specifics is large- ly creased.

Near Brownsville, Ont., on the 16th, lightning struck a tree under which James Stacey and his young son were standing, killing them both instantly. Mr. R. Montgomery and Mr. Callaghan, prominent Kingston Orangemen, have been expelled for saying that the Order has been prostituted to political purposes. The Bloomington (Ill.) Ueader accuses its contemporary, the Centralia Sentinel, of publishing a topographical map of the city labelled *‘Miss Frankie Folsom.” A letter from Maxime Lepine, one of the leaders of the Northwest rebellion, says the rebellion has already proved beneficial to the half-breeds in several ways. A despatch froin Limestone, Idaho, says that four horse thieves, who have been hanging around for some time, were pounced upon by a party of vigilants last Friday and hanged. The Glasgow Scotsmen’s Liberal Federa- tion issued a manifesto to the Liberal elec- tors of Scotland, urging them to support in the coming elections none but Gladstone candidates. Farmer Texter, who lives near Pittsburg, Penn., had his garden of half an acre entirely ruined by frost the other night, while not one of his neighbors with land similiarly exposed, suffered in the least. At Suspension Bridge, N. Y., while a gang of workmen were tearing down an oid barn they found in a pail under the floor hundred dollars in gold. The latest date on the coins was 1861. The workmen divided the find. seven The citizens of Leboueff, Pa., are greatly excited over the discovery of gold on the farm of Amos Burrows. The discovery was made by farm hands, and the sandstone rock has been essayed with excellent result. | A company of local capitalists will develop the treasure. The improvement in the lighthouse service of the Dominion is being felt, fewer lives having been lost in 1885 than during any year of record. In 1878 there were 444 and in 1885 the number was raised to 617. No other country shows greater pro- gress in this respect. While Thomas Peckle, an old and much respected resident of Coburg, Ont., was cleaning an old revolver which was not known to be loaded, the cartridge exploded, the ball passing in through the intestines and up towards the heart, causing his death in a few minutes. A furious wind storm, at Bushnell, II1., on the 16th, accompanied by rain and hail, flattened to the ground Wallace & Co’s. circus canvass, injuring about 30 people, several dangerously. Fences and trees were blown down, and considerable damage done to growing crops. Heavy rains in Jamaica have made great havoc throughout the Island. In Kingston the damage is estimated at £20,000. All the Government telegraph lines are down, the rivers have been impassable for days, trains are not running, the streets are cut up and many houses have been destroyed. During the elections at Santiago de Chili on the 15th, a great riot occurred. Forty persons were killed and many wounded. The hospitals are full of injured persons. Senor Denator, a prominent member of the radical party, was killed. The result of elections is supposed to be in favor of the Liberals. Queen Victoria has offered the Comte le Paris, during his exile from France under the terms of the Expulsion Bill, the use of Claremont Castle, where Louis Phillippe found a home and*“where he died. The Comte de Paris declined the Queen’s offer on the ground that. he does not intend to reside in England permanently. in the inquest in the case of McCormack, who was shot in the recent Belfast riots, Inspector Green tesvified that the constables began firing without orders; that he stopped the firing as soon as possible, and that the riot act had not been read before the firing. The jury returned a verdict of wilful mur- der against the policemen, whose names are unknown. A terrific wind storm visited the town of Crookston, Minn., a few days ago. The Germania hotel was blown down. About twenty-five people were in the house, of whom eight were injured. None of the injuries were serious. The Catholic church building was wrecked, the front of the Crookston House was blown out and the Commercial House also somewhat injured. The Minister of Customs at Ottawa has just received a letter from Thaqmas Rick- secker, soap manufacturer, of New York, asking if it was the intention of the Govern- ment to permanently continue the imposi- tion of a specific duty on toilet soap. In that event he said he would have to estab- lish a factory in Montreal or some other Canadian city in order to retain his trade with this country. Most of the Parnellite members of the House of Commons have gone to Ireland. Parnell and TT. P. O'Connor remain in London, and will stay until after the disso- lution. When parliament has been dis- solved the National League will hold a general meeting in Dublin for the purpose of con:ilkrngthe general situation. The meeting will issue a manifesto to the Irish- men of Great Britain.

Major Bell has completed arrangements for the incorporation of the North-West Buffalo Breeding Company. Major Bell says it is the invention of the company to | cross the buffalo with the polled angus breed. In this way the hide alone would be worth more than the price of a polled angus heifer. A breed of cattle would also be raised which would be better able to stand the climate of the North-West. The prisoners Gillis and Davis, who es- caped from Dorchester jail, were recaptured on the 16th by David Fields and Henry McNutt, at Shemogue. Constables Wood and Murray took charge of them and vought them to Dorchester jail. The man of mistaken identity. Gillis and Davis es- caped from the Dorchester jail the evening before they were to be taken before the grand jury. A family named Armstrong, consisting of husband, “wife, two sons anda daughter, went up into Little Mountain valley, Wyo., last fail. They mysteriously disappeared in May, and recently cowboys found the body of Mrs. Armstrong in a canyon. The remains of Mr. Armstrong and his daugh- ter were found some distance below, one in atree top, the other on high rocks. The boys have not been discovered.

The British Post Office Department has notified the Steamship Co’s. in Trans- Atlantie trade, that the existing contracts for the American service will not be re- newed after their expiration on December ist. The new contracts will provide fora monthly or quarterly arrangement with more efficient vessels and payments per voyage on the basis of the actual amount of mail matter carried, while preference will be given to steamships calling at (QQueens- town. The department says it will be pre- pared to consider offers from vessels calling at other ports. At 12.05 o'clock last there were felt three severe shocks of earthquake at Sandy Hook, N. J., the second following the first closely and the third coming a little later. The shocks were accompanied by a rumbling sound, which appeared to come ‘from the south- east. Houses were shaken and windows rattled. The shocks were not perceptible in New York, but at Ashbury Park, N. J., a severe shock of earthquake was observed one minute after midnight. The duration of the shock was two minutes. Houses were shaken and a rumbling noise was NOTICE TO LIQUOR SELLERS Saturday morning !
