Sfbd country and they are getting worse al
tbn time I that can b Organization I know
will help the general body of the working wo
men bat those tenement house workers will
got the least benefit Of course I cant tell
you anything about tho present movement to
organize tho working women because all the
meetings are for the present secret We have
them that way because then we can got tho
women to come to them and to talk moro fre
ly than they would if their names and what
they said wore to I public property When i
any dollntto plan Is decided upon I suppose It
will b made as public as other such move
ments are But wo cannot hope to do any
great good by It among the tenement house
lat women except by slow stages
M People have no idea of how general is the
custom of grinding these women < down to the
last cent of wages 1 know men one a shirt
manufacturer for an instance who I promi
nent In society and the church and who I
know given thousands of dollars every year to
various charities and yet his sewing women
pro among the vory worst paid in the city I
he would give less in charity and more in jus
tice there would b fewer starving women in
New York today
M Its not only death to the women but its
worse to the children who glow up without
car or training sickly In body and disease In
Ilnd The other day I saw a child crying of
hunger Its mother whipped it and told It If
it cried again she would whip it harder Bho
had no food to give It
I haven Kve regular food for it said an
other mother to mo but when it gots hungry
KOt
I just give it some broad and strong coffee
I Bme bra ooree
Bread and coffee is very Illlln stronl
That is a favorite way stilling the cries of
a hunl child it is tilling but you can im
agine what sort of children physically are
brought up on such a diet A hard case that I
have just seen is of a man with a wife and a
daughter All three work at passementerie
from early in the morning until late at nifht
Ifj tn y do well they can make a doUar a day
Thisls not ordinary passementerie work
either for the man boa to make the designs
M An illustration of how wages go down is the
ease of the makers of mens scarfs I know of
women who were getting seventyfive cents a
dozen for a certain kind of scarfs One of them
got the Idea of making money more easily B
she got four girls who were willing to work for
her a apprntces without pay to learn the
business Then she went to the manufacturer
and offered to do tho work for forty cents 1
dozon Of course she got It and the wsiges of
the other women came down too This kept
on until now thoy are getting only twenty
cents a dozen for that samo work Tbe mid
dlemen and middle women who get tho work
done by apprentices and other cheap ways are
to a great extent responsible for keeping down
the wages of all the sewing women Borne they
Wrong directly by making them do the work
for a pittance and others they rob by bringing
lown the market price tor the work brsg
THE SUNS statement that fifty cents a day
I tho average wages of a sewing woman I
perhaps correct for an average but I know of
scores if not hundreds of cases whore they
make much lees than that a day and you know
the day of a tenement house sewing woman is
from 1 or I oclock till midnight
I One thing that would help i would bo a law
abolishing tenement house work entirely
Tenement house clgarmaklnif has been abol
ished to a lat extent and all tenement house
work ought toga the same way That would
do much but tho abolition of the wholo tene
ment house system is what I needed The
general idea that the growth of the city up
town gives the working class better homes is
incorrect The uptown tenements are about
R bad as tho downtown except that they
have liner fronts and In them all you will flnd
the sewing women and their families crowded
into small dark rooms working In just as poor
sa
light just B foul air and for just as poor pay
las f In what ore called the slums down town
a to
I I The whole system of tenement house work
is Invariably bad it demoralizes the women
destroys all sense of home and brines up chit
jcstrOYI dn be burdens Instead of helps to the
community I THE buN can get up public
sentiment enough t procure the passage of a
law abolishing tenement house work it will do
a grand thing but I am not very hopeful of It
The attempt to brine about such a reform has
been made BO often and has so often failed I
THE HUN really would keep on printing the
names of the people who pay these wages to
women I might do some good for I do suppose
it is l ratherunpleasant for a man to go to sleep
at night with a proud consciousness having
cent a thousanddollar check to some charita
ble I Institution and to wake up the next morn
ing to llnd himself posted as paying his women
fir cents for fifteen hours work
Dr Uanlells In an article in the Oliriitiim
Union In regard to sewing womens wages
some up her knowledge of their condition as
follows Physically I not morally their con
dition certainly does not compare favorably
with that of the pit women working at the
Jouths of the coal pits In England and Wnles
and so wretched Is their condition that Eng
Ittimen propose to pass a law forbidding them
to continue their occupation These women
are employed from 6 A M to I 111 tene
ment houso women labor from 1 or a A 1 t
midnight The former are constantly in the
ewnnlr our in close stilling rooms cold In
winter hot in summer never ventilated pooily I
lighted Their wages fairly good aura miser

rriit 1 road built by tho association branches
1 through tho forest up Cheat Ilivor about
ono mile and 1 half to a commodious club
house that was erected last summer by tho
association
The line of this preserve begins on the west
at the summit of tho Cheat Mountains and
extends t the top of Shaver or Back Allo
ghany Mountains on tho east What is known
a tho old Fishing Hawk trail forms the north
western boundary and on the southeast Elk
Mountain nearly sixty miles away is tho line
It takes in the entire Cheat JUror volley for

About flvo miles up tho river from this club
house a small log hunting lodge has ben

The mountains and valley are covered with

Yesterday morning at gray dawn while sit
ting in front of 1 fire of logs In the huge cut
stone fireplace in the club houso Adam Coger
a noted hunter of this region and gamekeeper
for tho association came in with a gust of tho
cold morning air and startled tho members of
tho club who had come down for a few days
deer hunting with tho statement that bo had
discovered the tracks of a largo bear up the
river Ho asked I any one would like to ac
company him on the trail of the monster
There was not a very general desire to go and
only Dr W J Biggs of Pittsburgh and a news
paper correspondent joined the hunter
The trail led in the direction of Shaver
Mountain and after breasting through the
laurel for half an hour the ascent of tho moun
tain began Coger suddenly stopped
tin belan COler
See we are getttn close onto him he
whispered to the Doctor pointing to a place
where tho leaves had been pressed flat to the
ground Ho laid down there a hes a big
un Well fInd him near the top of this
mountain on the other side whore theres
some beach and oak Jest keep your guns
ready and dont make no noise
With this admonition he started on again
Nearly at the summit a shrill yell like the
wall of a lost soul cut the ear COlor had just
passed over tho body of a fallen tree and the
Doctor was in the act of 1 following him when
the yell was heard Coger wheeled about like
yel
1 flash with his rifle to his shoulder The
Doctor who has bad 1 wide experience In the
woods was also quick to cook and bring his
rifle to his shoulder though both his and tho
hunters faces were blanched for both knew
hunters wer
the meaning of that terrible bloodchilling cry
In the top of the fallen tree was a huge
panther or mountain lion Its ores glowed and
dilated with rape a It crouched ready for a
spring wavlnflrTt lone tall in a soft purring
fashion The Doctor tired Ort and the beast
sprang into the air alighting on tho ground
some twenty feet away from Coger who gave
i another shot taking it back of the foreleg
and sending 1 bullet through Its hart
Coger quickly jumped on the outstretched
body and cut the throat of the beautiful crea
ture with his huge hunting knife I proved
t b the largest panther killed In theo parts
for years measuring nearly seven feet from
tip yenr tp I Is rarely that they will show fight
as this ono did but will run at the approach of
tils After it was all over and the beast lay
dead at our foot It was the work of but a few
moments for Coger to skin tho boast and that
accomplished he again turned his attention t
tho bears trail I
Are you going on after the bear now
asked tho Doctor
Aint that what wo come out tar replied
Coger looking at the Doctor in a surprised
manner
Ianner yes but weve that panther skin to
take back
M We kern out fur 1 boar skin an a panther
skin aint a boar skin Is it r and he started off
on the troll which led ovorthe summit of the
mountain and along tho eastern ridge After
nearly three miles COlor spied the bear lying
in the sunshine In a little patch ot open woods
not moro than fifty yards from tho hunter
lie would not allow a shot He said It was
too easy and no fun to fire rub balls Into 1
boar at that distance an him a layln down
So he made a noise and tho boar a big flno
follow black as night got up and started for
the thickets in the opposite direction Coger
stopped him with a Blot In the leg and bruin
turned with a howl of pain AH heads raised
their rifles and fired Every bullet struck him
rlos vor
but they did not chock his advance Before
another shot oould b fired he was upon Coger
smashing tho rifle from his hands nnd tearing
tenrlnl
away a section of his coat In springing back
and drawing his knife Copers heel caught
and he fell to the ground but while this was
going on both the Doctor and correspondent
had their rifles roady for a shot so that when
Uoeor fell they began to pump bullets Into
bruins hide that rolled him over on his side
Nothing was injured except the stock of
Cogers rifle

NmvronT NOT 10At 6 oclock this morn
ing a signal from tho flagship lllchmond of
the North Atlantic squadron was given for the
entire fleet to proceed outside to Drentons
Roof Lightship there to await further instruc
tion Steam was already up and the Rich
mond Osslpoe Galena Dolphin and Altanta
were soon under way The day was bright
and clear and the chilly atmosphere was soon
overcome by tho bright rays of the sun At a
lato hour yesterday Lieut Win Kllbura of
the torpedo station completed the laying of
the submarine mines between which the
to submarno btweon ves
sels on their approach from outside wore t
pass The location of the mines was marked
by a blue signal The mines were connected
by wire with For Adams where 1 navy officer
was stationed Ho could toll at once by the
wires whether a ship touched tho submarine
signal and I it did of course that ship was
presumed to be blown UP a in actual warfare
At about 8K A 1 the signal was given from
tho Richmond for the fleet t start toward
Newport the flagship loading tho van Castle
Ulll and Brentona Point wore completely
covered with teams and pedestrians there b
ing as many on the cliffs a during the yacht
races Tire weather continued brilliant and
tho Jamestown contingent of citizens came
down to Fort Dumplings t look on at tho ap
proaching engagement between tho army and
navy All was excitement a the lllchmond
slowly steamed up her ports open and her tops
ready with tho O tlnp When she was
nearly abreast of For Adams one of the
heavy guns of that stronghold belched forth
upon the flagship Almost Instant the ship
replied with a broadside and then with the
Outlines In the tops At this moment Capt
Edward Field of tho Fourth United States
Artillery received a quite serious injury lie
won In charge of one of the batteries of guns
at Fort Adams and as ho was stepping from
ono side of a piece to tho other he stumbled
nnd fell with all his weight on a place of rough
iron Tho flesh of ono arm was badly lacer
ated and It is believed that some of the bones
of his wrist wore brokep Ho was unnerved
for the moment but quickly recovered himself
ana continued to give his orders
Meanwhile the lllchmond had passed the
fort and got well through tho channel of sub
marine mines and went westward of Rose
Island to Coddlngtons Point there t await
tho other ve sels Next In order came the
Galena which was speedily fired upon from tho
fort and returned the Ore with the steadiest
broadside of the day Tho discipline of the
Qalenas men was splendid and their behav
ior In tho tops was all that could be desired
Thogood work done by the Galena upon Fort
Adams was unfortunately very son discount
ed for I endeavoring to pus the string of
torpedoes sho touched one and was presumed
to bo blowaup and sunk She therefore went
into tho harbor by a different route The Dol
phin also struck a torpedo and was theoreti
cally blown up The Osslpee and Atlanta
came up last and after pouring their broad
sides into the fort passed pu to join the Rich

the landing of the naval brigade which was to i
attack Coasters Harbor Island To defend I
this place the troops from Fort Adams Includ
ing tho mounted battery had been Drought
over and these with some companies of blue
jackets and marines made UP tho defence
The preparations to land were watched by
thousands of citizens stationed around Cod
dlngtons Point and on Coasters Harbor Island
In the attacking party there were some 760
blue jackets and marines while the de
fence numbered about 650 all told The rapid
ity with which the men of the squadron loaded
their boats with Oatllngs howitzers and men
was surprising When the signal Land the
brigade was given the boats from the squad

up a position favorable to the beginning of the
attack When tho landing which was pro
tected by the tiring from tho ships bad ten
effected tho various companies took up the
several positions designated on the charts
Tbo land is of an undulating character and
well adapted for such manoeuvres The frt
firing was on tho right by the line of skirmish

of the regulars and this was continued for
some minutes or until tho landing was corn
Dieted on the extreme left The main landing
force began to advance In skirmish line and
was opposed by the small body of blue jacket
The firing was rapid and tho greatest excite

was finally driven back to the line of trees and
tho house down near the shore
The main body of the attacking party now
began to advance companies with Oatllng
guns in the centre The advance was adroitly
maintained until tho Catlings were planted on
the crest of Ibo fort and the infantry bodies

would carry everything before I but before
I reached the line of defence I was checked by

linos slowly began to waver and then retreat
and thon the defence took up the offensive and
boiSan to advance The light battery from the
fort came up at a gallop and wont Into action
to tho north of the line of trees after which the
retreat became general along the line and it
was evident that the land fore were to win
The Infantry bodies retired slowly firing as
they went and disputing each Inch of ground

of lira J EL Belcher are striving t brook the
will which bequeaths 75000 of her property
to Bates Bollege They allege undue evidence
by Dr Cheney President of the college and
unsound mind on the part of the testatrix
Borne of the evidence Is Interesting
The testimony of r Craig a blind woman
tended to show that Mr Belcher was not a
person likely to leave 75000 to a religious in
stitution Bho testified that Mr Belcher was
in the habit of using liquor and that at times
she was very profane She said that Mr
Belcher frequently told her that aha should
leave her money to members of her ow
family Mr Belcher also said to her that Dr
Cheney wanted her to leave her money to
Dates College but that she shouldnt do it
Depositions were road all going to show that
r Belcher was during her last days given
to the use of intoxicating liquors Jrs < Bel
cher won a member of the church but seldom
attended services She often spoke of Dr
Cheneys urging her to leave her money to
Bates College At one time speaking of Bay

better be at homo and at work and not be
beating a living out of other peoplo
Mr Sarah b Stanley who was with Mr

once expressed her annoyance at tho way In
which Dr Cheney was trying to got her prop

didnt leave her alone and cease talking about
her money and Bates College she should leave

Nathan F Bucks of Brooklyn N Y a nephew
of r Belcher tnstllled to prolonged calls

Cheneyat the time of the making ol the will In
Chenelat said that Mrs Belcher told him that
she was going to make a will and asked him
as to a certain bequest to One David H Bon
ney Borne facts were brought out going to
show the state of mind of Mrs Belcher
at the time of the making of the will She
bought two monuments at a coat of about
800 and put thorn in the same family lot Mrs
Belcher was apparently under the Influence
of Dr Cheney when ho was present but seems
to have struggled against that Influence when
he was absent After she made the will In

make a dozen wills It I please Tho last ono

reprimanded and the crowd dispersed The

WAJunKoroir Nor 10The effort of the
society calling Itself the Indian Bights Mao
elation to induce the President to extend the
provisions of the Civil Service act to employees
of the Indian service are not likely to prove
very successful The representatives of the
association who were here yesterday repre
sented that the service has deteriorated since
Democrats began to supersede Republicans M
Indian agents The foots do not warrant this
assertion On the contrary the reverse is true
Never In tho history of the Indians since the
Government assumed the responsibility ot
their care have thoy shown such marked signs
of material progress as they do at present
There are more of the rod men residing in
houses than ever before more of them are
earning their living as farmers and artisans
more go to school and In fact they are as a
race better off under a Democratic Adminis
tration than they ever were before
Officials of the Indian Office wore asked to
day what they had to say to the suggestion
that the civil service rules should be applied
to the Indian service The reply was that there
Is a more perfect system of reform in making
appointments In the service than exists In any
other branch of the Government It Is true
that Democrats ate Invariably selected said
the official but when an appointment is
made the appointee Is told very plainly that
there are n great many things lutjuiiuu ui him
Ho Is given an Idea of his duties and
be is unformed that if ho Is to retain his
place bo must fulfil those duties to tho letter
If ho falls after roaiihlng his post bo Is dis
missed and be is compelled to par his own ex
penses to and from the station This generally
Insures efficiency as the ideji of palng in
cost of transportation to the 1 acilla coast ap
back again is not attractive to applicants who
want these places The result ol the system
has been to greatly Improve the character ot
the employees and It Is difficult to see whore
any application of the civil service rules of the
Commission could bo made to the advantage
ot the Indian service

up and when bo would have a
chance to speak in his own behalf
At tho meeting Mr Oebhardt was Informed
by Oeorgo W MoQili ono of the directors that
the bill had been audited after ho Mr MoOlll
had explained that Mr Oobhardt had told him
that if some considered the bill too blah ana r
it was causing talk ho would agree to out It
down to a satisfactory sum but not till after it
had been passed as it stood Mr McQlll
claimed that with this understanding he had
secured the auditing of the bill The Board
paused a resolution rescinding the audit of the
bill and Mr Gebhardt a day or two afterward
wrote out a chock for 1000 enclosed it In an
envelope addressed to Commodore James D
Smith President ot tho club and gave it to a
clerk to put In Mr Smiths box But thinking
bettor of this soon afterward ho recalled the
letter which had not yet been delivered to
Commodore Smith On May 6 Mr Oobhardt
received a letter from the Board requesting
his presence to explain why ho had abstracted
from the private letter box ot President Smith
a letter addressed to Mr Smith and not his
Mr QebhardtR property There was some
further correspondence of a skirmishing na
ture
About this timeit Is alleged in the corn
plaint one Mat or Nathan or Nathaniel
Whitman a member of the club and none
other than Mr Nathaniel Whitman of Leaner
Whitman < k Co 602 Broadway had Induced
the Board to reject one of Mr Oobhardts pro
posals for membership which Mr Oebhardt
claimed was due to malice on Mr Whitmans
part as be Mr Oebhardt had once exposed
him In cheating at a game of cards
The matter hung lire through the summer
vocation but began to agitate the club again
in October Mr Oebhardt Informed the Board
in reply to some correspondence that it they
would withdraw all the aspersions cast upon
him by the records he would call his aervleea
nothing and would consent to resign Mo got
aletter dated Oct 24 requesting him to show
cause at B meeting of the Board on Thursday
evening Nov S why ho should not be expelled
for his conduct and It charged him explicitly
with getting his bill passed under false pro
tences and with removing a letter from Preal
dents Smiths private box
ExJudge Arnoux claimed yesterday that hi
client did not know of a resolution which had
been passed rescinding audit of his bill ho
did not know that the President had a private
box that ho did not take the letter he had
written out of tbo box but got it bock from the
same person to whom ho had delivered it In
the first place and ho alleged that the origin
of the trouble was due to the malice of a few
persons who were thus disqualified from try
lug him on the charges made against ntm
Ira B Warrep counsel for the club argued
in answer to Sir Oebhardta allegations that
all the proceedings of tho club had been en
tirely regular and In accordance with the law
of the club to which Mr Oebhardt had sub
scribed He then read the affidavits of James
D Smith to the effect that the allegation that
Mr Whitman had cheated at cards no did not
believe to be true but if Mr Oebhardt had
reason to think it was true It was his clearduty
to report the matter to the President
Whats that last statement asked Mr
Conkllng sharply
If one member ot the club detects another
cheating at cards It is his duty to report the
same to the President of the club replied Mr
Warren facing Mr Conkllng squarely
If the cheating is done outside the dub f
said Mr Conkllng
You will find out where the cheating baa
boon Mr Warren retorted
Mr Warren then read the affidavit ot Mr
Whitman who declared the charge that fie had
cheated to be a malicious lie and known to be >
so by Mr Oebhardt and that be had not used
his influence to have one of Mr Gobhordf
candidates rejected
Henry U Hilton declared in an affidavit that
he himself brought up tbo matter of rejecting
Mr Oobbardts candidate because Mr Gob
hardt nt that time stood In contempt George
W MoOlll and others made affidavits that Mr
Qebbardts performance of his duties as coun
sel bad been unsatisfactory and that he had
promised to put in a reduced bill If the pre
vious one was passed that he had not done so
but had evaded all attempts to settle the mat
tot and that Mr Oebhardt had taken a letter
from Mr Smiths box
JudgeAnDOux put in Mr Oobhardts affidavit
In reply denying all the charges Mr Among
said that his client had been obliged to coma
to court to got just treatment It was impossi
ble for him to have a fair trial when the Board
that was to try him had enemies of his upon It
The court room was so dark by this time that
the lawyers could not BOO to road and could
hardly see Judge Barrett Mr Choate and Mr
Conkling bad a short sparring match over tim
Issue which Mr Conkllng who Is a member of
the club characterized as an undignified and
foolish contention Mr Cheats claimed that
Mr Oobhardt had no right in court yet that It
he had boon tried by the oommltteeof the club
and then thought bo had suffered a wrong 18 e
was time for him to go to court and have th
proceedings reviewed Judge Barrett reserved
