mr The public sympathy that supports tho
yl tnale wage-earner in his efforts to obtain an
CS, adequate share in tho products of his toil
jSi , should be doubly enlisted in the cause of the
K. women workers.
r? They have the harder lot. They are less
, able to secure justice and decent treatment.
$(' They are paid the meanest wages. They suf.
; fer the most from competition. They havo
w, sot even the ballot to command the attention
,jT. of the law-makers.
'iV The women workers are still tho-victims of
ft? the atrocious injustice that gives them but a
jw frsotlon of men's wages even when they do
UV the same kind and amount of work.
m The first step towards righting such wrongs

!.' Observant readers of the newspapers can
:v hardly fail to have noticed how closely
l many of tho most remarkable and popular
inventions of the novelist and dramatist
have been paralleled of late in the realm of '
i facts.
. The pathetio wanderings of Evangeline
are irresistibly suggested by the account
this morning of Mrs. Habmnoton's long and
f hopeless soaroh for her husband, who fought
ct. sod fell with Oostkb. In the Btory of Kis-
if sake, of Ban Francisco, was almost a duplioa-
m, tlon of " Jim the Penman." A recent sonsa.
K tional cose in the West was nearly Identical
K with tho main features of "Called Baok."
m SnvxitsoM's "Kidnapped" is suggested by
K tie UBSolyed mystery of Chablix Horn and
E&. atbtc, similar dUsppsaratos. There have
s-s-s-s-JBMfclis
been scores of Boblnson Orusoes since
'Dsroa wrote his famous" ftery. ' $
And there aro hundrods of romances of
real life which tho novelist has nover rivalled.
Facts aro often too inorodiblo for fiction.
AN ENVIABLE FHILOBOPHT.
Uowmuch of tho socrct of contentment
that best substitute for happincfts is embod
ied in tho saying of Max O'IIeli, concerning
tho" French pcoBanti " Ho is not wealthy,
but hdis rich in what ho knows how to do
without."
Fortunato "Jacques Bonhommol" Ho
has tho most useful philosophy! that of being
ablo to square his life by bis environment to
limit his want by his purao.
Half tho frot of lifo comes from not know
ing what to do without.
THE FORMIDABLE GOAL BGnOONEK.
Tho coal schoonor continues to maintain its
roputntion as tho most daugerouf cruiser upon
tho high seas. Tho oscnpo pf the Guynndotto
is apparently duo solely to tho fact that in
tills instance tho enemy was not loaded and
ready for action.
Tho sunken hull of tbo Oregon can ovi
donco what tho coal schooner can do when
really prepared for business. Undo
Barn's Tallapoosa and various other preten
tious craft havo had a tasto of its quality.
Thoro seoms to bo no reasonable doubt
that tho coal schooner is tho most formidnblo
cruiser afloat. If it can accomplish so much
accidentally, what could it not do when
handled in accordanco with naval tactics?
In tho rehabilitation of tho navy, let tho
Government consider tho destructive-capacity
of tho coal schooner.
THE BAME OLD BPOOE.
Tho complete exposure of the allegod mo
dium Fat, in Boston, should dampen hor
business prospocts as a dcalor in fraud. But
probably it won't.
Bho has been thoroughly oxposod boforo.
Her dovoted admirors contended that sho
was merely ongaged in a pardonable effort to
assist the grand causo of ' ' materialization."
Tho dollars of tho credulous continued to
roll in hor direction.
If the infatuatod dovotccs of tho " sco
aunts " cannot bo pcrsuadod to bo satisfied,
as Tiioiucau suggested, with " ono world at a
time," thoy might at loast reasonably object
to having a vory clumsy donir.cn of this
world after repeated oxposuros palmed off as
a visitor from tho other.
There is a good deal of human natura in
orowds, whothor in Gormany or tho United
States. Tho cablo reports that in tho royal
procession in Berlin "tho Czarina and tho
Prinoess wcro moro heartily choorcd than
woro thoir husbands." That has frequently
boon tho caso with Amorican Presidents and
their wlvos.
Edward Atkinson's proposition to buy
tho Provinces for 50,000,000 is not received
with unbounded enthusiasm. Thoro is n
good deal of common senso in tho old Quak
er's tlioory that it is n waste of effort to
climb tho troo for tho nuts. Just wait a
littlo. and they'll drop of their own uccord.
Tho car stoves not only must go thoy aro
actually going. Thoro aro many things that
'must go that persist in staying: War taxeH,
mouopoliBtio trusts, overhead wires, dirty
streets, cholera gorms, political bosses, Vote
buyers, boodlers, &o. But Timo will bo too
long for thorn all.
About CO por cent, of the ordinary cases,
similar to that of tho Crown Prince, aro sue
cessfully trcatod. But somohow nil tho
prominent patients with thoir oorps of con
sulting physicians seem to dio. Whoro there
is a squabble among tho cooks tho broth is
often spoiled.
Even if tho Stato Department does not pro
poso to demand an explanation of Canada of
its trcatmont of Wong Cuin Foo, o natural
ized Amorican citizen, it might find u clerk
to acknowledge his communications. If ho
can't get justice ho should at least havo
courtesy.
The witty French locturer, " Max O'ltoll,"

Tho football contest to-day will havo con

To such workors an art musoum is of
great benefit. Thoy can gather now idoas,

of color, and oxquisitoly wrought work j and
thoy aro helped by all this.
A Wonu rcportor wished to sco how this
art-working portion of tho community folt
in regard to tno Hunaay opening oi mo
Metropolitan Musoum. Tho round of inves
tigation on this point was ono of tho most
satisfactory which this Inquiry lias occa
sioned, Tho warmost and most universal
doslro for tho opening existed among both
managers and employeos.
At Tiffany's thoro aro soveral branches of
art work carriod on, and tho Princo streot
branch of this house uIbo engages a largo
force of workmen, especially Hilversmlths.
I. II. Whitohouso in at tho head of tho da
signing department in tho Union Bquaro
placo. Ho said i " It would bo of groat beno
fit to our workmon to havo an opportunity
on Hunduys to hoo tho exhibits at tho Metro
politan. Thoy aro so busy during tho wcok
that they ha o absolutely no chanco to hoo
any outsldo w orks or objoctB of art. Wo do
tho highest kind of work here. I made tho
designs for tho Uladbtono Memorial and for
tho JJrvant Vase.
"I havo heard tho workmon express tho
wish that they could havo time and oppor
tunity for seeing art work such as thoy would
moot with at tho Metropolitan. Whon thoy
como back from Europo thoy havo Boinetimes
remarked i ' Oh, those follows over thoro
havo got a chanco to sco things in tho Mu
seimiH. Thoy aro open on Sundays.'
" Yes, our silvor-workors, onauiollors, fon
liaintors, and designors would all bo helped
by tho study of now forms and choico speci
mens of workmanship. An idea would como
in a moment from looking on Homo good
thing that hours spout in working it out
without that aid would not produce.
" I havo boon a draughtsman for Tiffany
for thirty years and know what a profitable
thing Sunday's loitoring walk through tho
museum would bo for any ono in this line.
Tliu workmen aro too busy to go on any other
day. It is a matter of surprise to mo to hear
anyZono objoot to tho Sunday opening."
The reportor met ono or two of the work
mon liorn and sounded them on their fooling
in the matter. They declared their dcslro of
tho chanco to visit tho Musoum which would
bo affordod by tho Sunday opening.
Tho factory of tho (lorliam Manufacturing
Company is in PTovidonco, 11. I. So they
would not bo affoctcd by anything in tho
Now York Mubouiii, but Qeorgo H. Hough
ton, ono of tho managers of tho corporation,
expressed himself us desirous of seeing tho

thought Ithat it would bo benoflcial to art

Thcodoro B. Starr, who doals in tho high,
est class of art waro, sponds a largo part of
the year in Europo. His undo, I. T. Wldto,
Hupcrvises things during his absence. Mr.
Wnitu said; " 1 believe that it would eduoato
that portion of tho community, and afford
thorn a roasonablo recreation. Thoy noed
something of tho kind. Distributing tracts
is not tho wuy to reach tho heart of tho work
ing olasses. You can sco from Besant's
' All Sorts andConditions of Men ' what good
might bo done. I should bo glad to seo tho
Museum opened, aid I boliovo that tho
workmen would gain much profit from it."
In H. B. Hertz's establishment for antique
furniture, two young men were questioned
os to their feeling. '' Why, of courso," said
ono, " wo would liko the Museum opened on
Sunday. Then wo could havo a chanco to go
there. I know that all the mon would liko it.
What do you think i" ho askod of a brother
craftsman.
" I livo within fivo minutes of tho Metro
politan, and nover havo timo to go there,"
was tho reply. "I havo to lcavo uomo too
early and I got baok too lato. I would cer
tainly liko to havo it opened on SuudayH."
Louis Tiffany's stained-glass works in
Fourth avenue employ between 100 and 150
men. Prlnglo Mitchell, tho manager, in an
swer to tho question as to whether he thought
that tho workmen would bo glad to avail them
selves of tho Musoum on Sundays, replied: " I
think that they would. Many of them go to
tho Cooper Union and tho Art Leaguo as it
is. Most of our employees aro of good relig.
ious principles and aro intelligent. Thoy
)iaoto bo for tho greater part of our work. I
think that tho opening of tho Museum on
Sundays would luno a beneficial offocton

could appreciate tho things."
It was tho somo story all around with only
ono exception, a prominent decorator who
thought that tho workmen would not bother
about going. Hut from tho way tho work,

Whon Inspoctor Henry V. Steors reached his
room in Police Headquarters this morning
ho was mot by tho clerical forco of tho
Central Ofllco, tho spaoial squad, members of
tho press, and representatives of nearly every
section and quality of work in tho Polico De
partment. Tho men formed in lino and the inspector
entered his ofllco. Lo Moult, tho florist, had
been at work with a staff of specialists since
an i arly morning hour, aud had transformed
the room into a literal bow or of floral beauty.
Two large American flags wero caught up
in tho beak of a splendid American caglo and
tho familiar desk and chair daily occupied by
tho Inspoctor wero tastily drupod with smilax
and natural flowers. In tho contra was an
immense mechanically arrangod box, with
moving figures. Tho sceno was an old grand
father surrounded by children and grand
children on Christinas Day, and bohiud a
dodging Santa Clans wero tho words : " I was
much younger than I was thirty years ago."
This was a gift from It. Schlossinger. A
four-foot floral shield with tho significant let
ters: " 1857-1887," was a remembrance from
tho Central Ofllco Squad. Tho clerical forco
upstairs sent a horse-shoo, nearly throe feot
high, made of choico roses. Schlossingor &
Co., tho department tailors, also forwarded a
floral gift.
Ono of tho finest floral offerings was a horse
shoo from tho press representatives who como
in contact dally with inspector Stoors and his
associate inspoctors. It cauio from men, who
for tho nonco, sunk all personal differences
and profession il rivalries, and united in
doing honor to a man whoso thirty years of
publio sorvico did not bear a stain or blomish,
and whoso character shows forth rcsploivdont
w ith faithful, loyal and oommcndablo dovo
tion to his friends and to tho sorvico.
Individual remembrances camo from Supt.
Murray, Inspoctors Williams, Byrnes and
Conlin. Ono of tho gifts was a scarf-pin,
with a pearl in tho coutro, surroundod by
diamonds, Inspoctors Byrnes and Williams
boing tho donors.
Inspector Stoors put on his uniform, and
on his sleeve was tno sixth gold stripo, ono
for overy fivo years of Bcrvico. His polico
lifo has boon a pleasant one, but each succes

EEBUKED BY A HOTEL CLERK.
How Sir Alfred Oooeh Iterclved Inierma-
tlon About American Titles.
"Frontl Tnko this card up to Senator
," called Clerk Poocock to a hall-boy
at tho Hoffman House.
" But it isn't tho Senator I want to seo.
It's tho young man," said tho first Republi
can candidate for tho Presidency, Gen. John
O. Fremont, whose card was in question.
" Oh, tho boy understands. General. It's
away I havo of mixing up titles. So many
titlod foreigners arriving that a fellow has a
great deal of troublo in attempting to ad
dress them in a manner which tliov consider
propor. This indiscriminato conferring of
titles by foreign rulers has gotten tho hotd
clerks into tho bad habit of attaching a pre
fix to about ovory body's name
" I remember onco when I didn't do this,"
continued tho clerk. " It was when Sir Al
frod Goocli was hero. Ho was accompanied
by his sou aud a man porvant. Sir Alfred
wanted his sorvant for something or othor
ono day aud requested mo to Bond for him. I
sent tho boy and told him to toll the fellow
that ' Mr. Gooch wanted him at tho ofllco.
Sir Alfred didn't liko this at all, and re
marked that his servant would not know who
Mister ' Goooh wos and. loftily askod if wo
had no titles in this country.
" Well, I didn't liko hiB manner vory much,
and I replied that wo did havo a few titles
in this country, but that thoy wero thoso of
truo nobility and wero earnod by their bear
ers on tho battloflold, on tho bench, in legis
lative halls and in othor honorable ways, and
woro not entailed estates from dishonorable
sources or Uio subject of a sovereign's caprice.
I told ' Mister ' Goooh that tho tltlo with
which I had given him would probably bo as
honorable a one as he would over wear as an
American citizon, and was ono which ovory
Amorican was proud to wear."
Gon. Fromont smiled at tho recitation by
tho voluble clork of tho robnko given by him
to inherited and klng-conforred nobility. Ho
must havo boon Btruok by tho suggestion
whioh it contained that he, tho gray-haired
and gray-beardod pathfinder of tho wild
West and Department Commander of the
Army of tho United States, had won his spurs
and title by good aud efficient service for his
country.

bocauso it is hardly liko n theatro, with its

has kindly allowed them the uso of tho play,
in return for which tho amateurs have prom
ised to turn out in a body and patronize Mrs.

This is an honest fact : An entertainment

and as thoy advanced to tho tiokol-taker ono

expects peoplo to foe! the same respect for

A new "No Reporters Admitted" sign,
much largor than tho old ono, was pasted on
the door of Johann Most's ofllco this morn
ing. Aftor tho word " udmittod " ap
peared in parentheses tho words
" Hchrolb-Knechto " slaves of tho pen.
This now feature seemed to indicate in
tense hatred on the part of tho fiery Anar.
chist. Nevertheless, a .reporter df Tfm
Wobld pushed open tho door of tho Anar
chist's den at 10.20 this morning and, not
without an inward tremor, entered.
It is passing strange that ono cannot find
Most in his office at a timo whon he is not en
gaged in the wholcsalo consumption of
sausage and beer. It reads liko an invention
of tho enemy, but it is the simple foot.
At tho hour mentioned two men sat at a
round table in the frout end of the room.
Ono was Editor Most and tho other was Jul
iuB Schultz, assistant editor of tho Freiheit,
Tho table was littered with documents and
Schultz was writing rapidly, presumably
working on a red-hot diatribe for to-day's
issue of tho Anarchist sheet.
Most had a pen bohind his ear, but thoro
was no other sign of his oditdrial labors. Ho
was eating, or, mora correctly speaking, feed
ing. Before him was a hugo pllo of sausages,
resting on coarso yellow-brown paper, evi
dently just brought from a Gcrmau
pork-butchor's. Thoy wero of tho
fat and indigostiblo variety known
as " libcrwurst." Tho reporter tried to
count them and got as far as cloven. Tho
othors woro hidden from view by those on
tho top. Near by, but noccBsarily at some
distance from tho sitting Anarchist, wcro a
hugo brown pitcher of beer and a glass full
of tho froth covored liquid.
Tho reportor Bpoko to Most for soveral
minutes, but the Anarchist's ovos wero fixed
on the sausages and beor. Every moment a
hand holding a murderous clasp-knife cnt
off a few inches of tho thick sausago, and
another hand clutched first tho pitcher
and then tho glass. Both the sausage and the
beor were'quickly conveyed to Most's mouth.
Tho rapidity of tho movement of Most'Bhand
and jaw was bewildering.
Between tho gulps sounds camo from Most's
hard-worked Jaws, in reply to questions, to
the effect that Mr. Howe would defend him
on Tuesday and that ho would be acquitted
unless justico were flagrantly violated to his
oppression. Also that ho felt quito well,
being too much used to prisons to allow con
finement, recent or prospective, to prey on
his mind.
The reporter backod out, his eyes still fixed
by a strango fascination on tho fast declining
heap of sausages and tho diminishing stock of
beer. Ab tho door closed Most tackled a
fresh sausago.

KNIGHTS OF LABOR FOR PEACE.
The Only Disaffection Hald to Exist Among;
tho Chronic " Kickers."
A good deal has been published about tho
alleged split in tho Knights of Labor and tho
proposed formation of anothor order compos
ed of tho so-colled " kickers" or maloontents.
Tmt Would has already reported tho causes
which led to tho " Provisional Committco's "
circular and published interviews with lead
ing Knights indicating that the disaffection
arose from tho refusal of tho General Assem
bly to pass rosolutionB of sympathy with the
condemnod Chicago Anarchists.
A prominent member of District Assembly

FOLLOWED HARD BY FEAR.
Conscience Itlado Tonillnson Hncta a Coward
That n. Detective Arrested Him.
Detective Evanhoo, of the 'Sixteenth Pre
cinct, had his attention attracted to Fred
erick Tomlinson, sixteen years old, of 425
West Thirty-third street, last night. The
boy, while walking along Eighth avonue,
near Fortieth streot, appeared as if his con
science were not clear. Every now and then
ho would hurriedly turn his head aud shoot
a glanco down tho street as if ho feared some
thing. Tho detective, aftor following him about a
mile, determined to take him into custody.
Tomlinson carried a buudlo which con
tained a silk pluBh sacquo valued at $10.
On being questioned where he procured tho
tho tacquo ho said ho got it from MrB.
Moonoy. at 118 West Thirty-sixth street. He
coutradioted himself tho next moment by
saying that ho worked at O'Noill's fancy
goods store, at Sixth avenue and Twentieth
street, and was ordered to deliver it at 69
West Fifty-second street. That w as also dis
covered to be false.
This morning William O. Strange, manager
of O'Neill's, made a charge of larceny against
Tomlinson at Jefferson Market Court. Tom
linson was hold for trial.
