The sentence to six months in the Work, house of Koznio, the Anarchist who armed himself in obodience to Joitank Most's ad vico and threatened to shoot a Wonui re porter, ought to be a lesson in logio to those follows. Howling for " freedom of speech " for themsolvcs, thoy threaten to shoot other poople for exercising it. Claiming, and in Chicago exercising, the right to kill officers of tho law, they assumo the r&le of martyrs when tho law gives thorn a dose of their own medicino.

That is what pays tho big dividends on the Bell Tolephono Company's $100,000,000 of waterod stock. A patent tainted with fraud. A brood specification, almost unprecedented in tho history of patents, maintained in the courts by an army of sharp-witted lawyers. That is tho basis of tho monopoly. A block in tho way of invontive progress. Buying all improvements only to smothor them. Crowding out all competition. That is its policy. Is it strange that tho American pnblio would hall with delight tho overthrow of this greedy monopoly ? PHffiNIX T. BABN0M. IUhnum has reoolvod another rail from his old acquaintance, the fire fiend.

The latest changes in tho rules of tho Civil-Servioo Commission aro all in tho di rection of a stricter enforoomont of tho non partisan spirit of tho law.

Patxbson, N. J., Nov. 21, It is doubtful if poor sewlng-girls and women working for starvation wages in tho great cities know how the wives and daughters of prosperous farmers keep down their oarnlngs. The following facts havo come to tho knowledge of a Wonxn reportor during years of observation as a nows-gathoror In Northern Now Jorsoy. Tactorics in New York, Brook, lyn and JorRoy City havo had for n long timo agents in different parts of I'assaio and Ber gen counties, N. J., and in Bockland County, N. Y. The so agents rocoivo ovory day largo packages of work cut out In plocos ready to bo sowed together. They aro distributed among country peoplo by means of horses and wbl'oiib for soveral miles in ovory direc tion. For this work tho agents rocniui a commission which scorns to bo ample to sup. Iiort them without otiier labor. Home of hose middlemen havo hcen caught charging tho country womou for thread which was supplied by tho Now York shops. Tho prices paid in tho country aro about on tho Nimo scale as thoso paid in tho cities, with a small deduction for tho additional cost of distribution. Tho sowing-women in tho rities are slaving for bread. Tho farmors' girls in tho country sew for pin-money. It gives tho girls a new gown or a bonnet, and enables tho wifo to get a now carpet for tho parlor or a now piece of furniture. The Wom.d roportor has been tho rounds with somo ot these country agents, and in very, very few cases is tho sowing given to women compelled to cam their own living. A young woman soon to bo married showed the reporter a bank account of money earned in this way sufficient to buy her wedding olothes and furnish her parlor nicely. Another woman oxhibitod a new dress, of flno material, which she said sho had paid for from hor receipts for shop-work. Shirts, jackets and cloth suits for children seemed to bo the work principally sent out to tho country women. ThiB business has grown to such propor tions of late, that soveral companies who unod to manufacture shirts in Now York City huvo removed thoir factories to Fatcrson, whero their goods are called for by tho farmers when they are in tho city to attend tho mar ket. Any market day a largo utnnber of farm wagons may bo seen tied in front of tht'Bo factories, with country poople carrying into tho factories bundles of finished work and bringing out packages of now work. When spoken to by The World reporter many of the country women, who thought lessly hoop burdens upon tho weary backs of city sowing-girls, expressed rogrot and sym pathy for their moro unfortunate competitors, and spoke iu such a manner as to warrant tho bnllot that if the subject wero proporly ex plained to thorn they would cease tho com petition which adds to tho labor and hard, ships of thoso in whom thoy are naturally interested and whom thoy should rather assist than competo against.

Tho goms wero set in rings, bracelets, neck laces and studs, and Mr. Morgan sayB thoir aggregate cost at Tiffany's was from $10,000 to $17,000. One ot tho articles, a rich neck laco of diamonds and rubios. was a wedding present to Mrs. Morgiin. Tho whole worn jilaced in a honvy stool box, covorcd with blue satin, with n patent lock, and tho box was kept in tho top drawor of tho dressing table Tho box ond its contents wore last seen by Mrs, Morgan at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, when sho replaced in the box several articles which she had worn at the theatre the pro. viotis night. The robbery wag most proba bly committed homo timo during tho day or evening, as Mr. and Mrs. Morgan slept in tho room thut night, and tho thoft was dis covered in tin) forenoon of yesterday. Mr. Morgan said this morning that ho won no nearer tho rteovory of tho jewelry than when ho first notified tho police lie does not suspect any ono of hOi three servants, who havo buen with tho fuWitljr niany years. " My theory is," ho sftiil, " that a Riieak thief got admission by tho basement dour and mado bis wuy upstairH. I oxpect that ho is holding tho articles for tho roward. and that my wifo will fcoou httvo them back." An examination of tho servants by Capt.

Tho police have descriptions of tho men and the citio is boing followed. Tho difficulty in tho caso is tho unllkoll. hood, that an outside thief would know the location of the jewel-box or bo ablo to go directly to tho drawer in which it was kept.

Thereupon a quarrel occurred, dur ing which tho Btranger drow a rovolvor and fired. Tho bullet struck Sweeny's jaw, glanced off and made its way up tho cheek, lodging boncath tho oyo. Then tho stranger ran away. Tho noise of tho shooting attracted a police man of tho East Twenty-second street sta tion into tho saloon. JIIo found Swoeny lying on tho floor sutloring greatly. An ambulance was called, which earned tho wounded man to Bellovuo Hospital. Sweony was much better this noon, and was anxious to leave the hospital, but tho surgeon forbado it. With proper cam ho will recover, unless in flammation sets in. The bullet has not bcon extracted. It is believed that Sweony knows who shot him, but will not toll tho polico his namo.

MINERS SUSPECTED OF AESON. COAL BARONS PLACE TIIE BESPONSIBILm FOR BURNED BREAKERS ON STRIKERS. Talk of Appeallnc to Hot, nearer for Pro tection Ilecauae the Mherlfl Refnard It No Prospect of a Heltlement, Thauah the miner are Destitute Mr. Powderly'e Stirring Appeal for Itellef. racial, to iiii world. 1 Hazleton, l'o., Nov. 21. The coal barons aro trying to show that the starving miners on striko aro responsible for tho two coal brcakors burned late Saturday night and a loss of property aggregating nearly $100,000. Tho operators indulged in a good deal of wild talk yesterday, and had much td say about appealing to Gov. Beavor for protec tion. Tho Sheriff of the county was asked for protection, but bo could not sco tho slightest ground for tho accusation of incendiarism, and ho refused to appoint special doputioB. Tho striking miners deplore tho tiros, and were indignant ovor oven an imputation that thoy should bo charged with causing thorn. Tho men aro opposed to making troublo of any kind, knowing well that if thoy woro tho causa of nuy breach of tho pentfo tho oper ators would take advantage of it and swear in moro Coal and Iron l'olicc.whoaro a terror to tho strikers. Aftor a lockout of eight wcoks tho strikers aro found in a very dostitute condition. It is truo tho idle men havo received generous Bupport from tho Knights of Labor aud thoir friends, but it has proved entirely inado uuato, for for ovory dollar rocoived lor reliof $16 havo been lost in wages. The end seems an far off as ovor. The men declaro that thoy will not go back to work at starvation vv ages, aud tho oporators aro doterminod to adhoro to thoir scale. Philadelphia, Nov. 21. Mr. Powderly has rccoivod scores of telegrams to-day thanking him for issuing tho following cir cular iu behalf of tho striking miners in the coal regions: For tho Brit time during my official career I feel called upon to go before the order, and all lovers of fair play, whether In or ont of the order, for the purpose of making a personal appeal In behalf of the starved and outraged coal miners of the Lehigh and middle coal-lleldt of Pennsylvania. 1 he ap peal sent out by the General Executive Board states the factt, but It gives only a faint eoloring to the real ttate of affairs in the coal regions. We read of the heartrending icenee of eviction as practised In Ireland. We are told of the terrible work of the crowbar brigade, which levelt homes, tevers broken, loving hearts forever, driving kindred acroat the sea. None of these scenes can outrival the acta of cruelty that are practised every day In the acourged, misery clouded middle coal-fields ot Pennsylvania. In most prosperous timet the miner and his famllr live from hand to mouth, scarce aDle to keep body and aoul In unison. Notwithstanding all of this no law Is brokon, no offense of any kind Is committed. A more honest. Industrious, moral pal riot Ic people does not Inhabit any portion of our country; uo more generous or manly men exlit than our coal miners. I, who have spent my life among them, can and do cheerfully bear ttlbute to the sterling, noble qualities ot tbeae moo. I am not blinded by partiality because of my intimacy with them; I know their faults as well as their virtues; I honor them for the latter and wonder that so fow of the former exist. They have done everything, endured everything and have sought in every way to Improve their condition so as to lift It to the standard of American manhood and citizenship. Falling lu that, they have continued a hopeless atrugcle to keep food In the mouths of loved ones while en during every privation themselves. The last hop Is goue, tired uaturo refuses to longer perform its (auctions, and in deapalr the minera have laid down their tools.

Hugo volumes of smoko woro seen rolling up from tho shaft house, and all tho engines woro at onco started and tho Ilocla branch emptied of its men. The main engine shaft is only 100 feet north of the shaft in which tho fire is, and if it reaches the main engino tho destruction will bo immense.

Sii Convenient Divorce Law In I'gypt. Attxandria Corrt$pond.n f (As Afflteaiitsf n(fnt. A wife may be divorced twice ami return to her huaband, but If he divorce her a third time, and with a triple divorce declared, and scud her away, he cannot live with hor again until she has been one month married to another roan. After the third divorce tho husband must pay the part of tho dower which was act aside for tho wife before nmrrWe, and he must support her out ot Ida houso during tho three months In which she may not marry again. If the wife be sepi rated from the man, and not divorced, she receives a weekly allowance from him. A divorced woman may, after divorce, retain her bou, under two years of age, and custom gives the child to the mother till It Is seven yeurs old; tticn the father must claim the ion. When a man forfeits an engagement to marry, ho must par the woman half her dower, and she Is frco to marry at once, When a wife Is disobedient, tho husband may beat her; if she persist In disobedience, he may take her with two wmicsso', not his relations, to the court, and declare agalntt her, an If she does not promise to bo obedient thereafter, Is not obliged to feed, lodgo or clothe her, but need not divorce her; and if he suspects that she desires to be divorced In order to remarry, ho surely will not. If she con- fn.apa li.r wrnnir nnil nrnmlHA nhpillenpA hi. inn at at once divorce her or take her home. If a wife docs not wish to live with her husband, she enters a complaint agalnBt him at the court, stating that her family will support her, and makes a demand for separation. It the women of tne same harem, or of different ones, quarrel and aro complained of to the court, their husbands aro punished by the court; hut wo may be sure that their vicarious correction does not lave tne poor women from chasilteinent. Tne husband divorces the wife, but the wife cannot divorce the husband. ITer Knowledge ot lloxlns Saved Tier. From (As Chicago Tribun.,1 There Is a club of thlrtetn young women of the North Side who have a neat gymnasium fitted np, and several of the members have become proficient with the gloves. One ot the fair pugilists Is a re markably clever boxer and a hard and sharp hitter. Her knowledge of the art of sclf-delense was of great advantage to her In a little adventure that happened tho other night. She was returning alono from La Salle avenue, whero she had been calling on a friend, at 11 o'clock. On approachlug tho corner of Clark atrcctaho was accosted by a strange man whose appearance proclaimed Mm to be a ' rough. " 1 he young vt oman only walked on the faster for this, but was obliged to confess after wards sho grew nervous. As she crossed Clark street she observed that the villain waa following her. After hav Ing passed Clark street, In the com parative darkness of a cross stre-t, the villain hur ried forward and accosted her again, at the Bamo time laying his hand on her shoulder. He got a re sponse this time. Quick m a flash she turned, snot out her left and planted her delicately gloved fist, its firm and true as steel, square In the wretch's face, 'this staggered him, und before he could re cover she had swung her right upon his ear and he dropped into the gutter. Then the brave and ovefy boxer gave a shriek and ran home, nerveless and palo as a ghost, and arrived thero In a stato of collapse. It was days beloto sho recovered from her fright. But she still keeps up her boxing. m i Perfumed Chest Protectors Tor Dndes. From a Soettty Journal.

ISrXCIAl. CABLE TO TOTl WOULD. Fabis, Nov. 21. Nover, even at the.Palaij Bourbon, were anticipations so completely falsified as they wero yesterday. I happened to moot on tho proccdlng ovcnlng almost all tho members of the Government nnd several promlnont leaders of the Opposition parties, and ovorybody, without exception, was con. vinced that tho interpellation would be ad journed by general consent till Thursday, Bottvicr's position, howovor, had bocome un. enablo, nor will tho Ministry be able to hold its own in tho Chamber so long as Grevy re. maluB at the Elysoo pnlaco. The difficulty ht how to get him out. Tho case has not boeu provided for In the mnchincry of tho constitution. The Presi dent of tho Kepublic can, it is truo, be ar. rnigncd for high treason by tho Senate and Chamber of Deputies in Congress assembled, but Grevy is not accused, nor can ha be, ot a crimo against tho Stato. It is in his power to nominato n Ministcro d'Affalrcs for carrying on tho buBlneBS of tbo country, and none of his MinlbtorB need necessarily bo memb'eriof either houso of legislature, but tho Chamber of Deputies would, of course, havo tho lost word in granting or refusing supplies. The Tho inombera would probably adopt the middlo courso of voting only douziemei pro titioirea that is to Bay, tho supplies needed from month to month. M. Grevy Is still at tho Elyseo, but tho Cabinet is down. HOW WIIA IT ALIi IKD? A Ministerial crisis has bocn added to .the Presidential difficulty, which was already sorious enough, and every one is wondering how it will all end and what tho'" situation will bo when the week that has just opened has fully run olt. No ono had any notion of what was nbout to occur, oxcept, perhaps, Eomo of tho members of tho Bight, who may havo altered thoir policy at the lost moment. Clomonceau had insisted on inUrpoll&tinfr tho Government on tho political situation, but so diffident was ho of victory that when chatting with M. Bonvier, M. Floquet, M. Beinach and some other notabilities during; tho first performance of "La Souris," on Friday ovoning, heromarkod.inanswertothe lato Fromior's exclamation, that ho would ba only too glad to fall over tho quostion of tho dato of the interpellation, but that he would have no such luck, as the Badicals were sura to be beaten, O Tho eventful sitting, though very short, was fertilo in incidents. M. Bouvior opposed immediate interpellation on the ground that it would bo advisable to wait until tho con. version of tho four and a half per cents, had been fully carried out. Tho operation would bo concluded on Wednesday, and on the fol lowing day ho would bo at M. Clcmenceau'a Bcrvice. M. Bouvior added significantly that jf a majority was wanted to get rid of the Ministry it could attain its objoct without In dulging in very long discussion. It could show its sentiments by the choice of a day for interpellation, but the Government could not accept an earlier dato than Thursday. Tbo voto, therefore, assumed tho proportions ( of n voto of confidence in tho Cabinet. M. Clemenceau at once perceived his ad. vantago. Bo mado, perhaps, tho best speech of his life, and concludod by saying that, as a matter of fact, there was no Government, the present ono being taintod at its very source, tho ElyEoe. A reactionary Deputy mado n humorous spooch and Baudry d'Assorinado some gro tesque remarks about republics in generaland that of France in particular. anxvY hobe it use a stoic. Bonvier and his colleagues lost no time.. They hold n short consultation, wrt. .9U thoir resignations and soon afterward the ex Premier was at tho Elyseo. M. Grevy had already been apprised by tolephono of the fall of tho Cabinot, but ho boro tho'bad news liko a stoic, calmly remarking that he could form another. Tho logical solution, as or tho downfall of tho Goblot Cabinot, would be) to send for Clemenceau, but if tho Badioal leader woro invited to form a Ministry, tho first thing ho would nsk of M. Grevy would bo bis instant resignation. Grovy is moro dotermincd than ever to stand to his guns. Ho professes to believe that 'Wilson's innocence will be demonstrated conclusively, nnd his Bon. in-law on his Bido will hold his head higb. Tct, thoso who contributed to yester day's overthrow of tbo Cabinet did so under tho firm conviction that n Ministerial crisis must ovcntually f orco tho President to retire. M. Grevy's first thought was of his old crony, M. do Freyclnct. Tho littlo white mouse would not desert him in. his trouble. Then if M. Do Freycinet provod recalcitrant he could send for M. Goblot, and if he, too, failod him, as ho probably would, he could find somo other Premier. k I hear that M. Do Froycinef s friends are opposed strongly to his resuming the reins of oflico at'thls juncture, nnd he Is -not the man to risk his future ovon for les beaux yea of his old ally. TnB LATEST RUMOB. Lato this afternoon rumor was current in tho chnmbor that M. Grovy had determined on consulting en Hoc tho Presidents of tho Sennto nnd Chnmbor; M. Clemenceau, M. Bonvier, M. do Freycinet, M. Jules Forry, M. Henri Brisson, M. Duclero and others ns to whether he ought or ought not to retain bis post, it was added that if it was decided that Grovy could remain at tho Elyseo the President would nppoint n statesman selocted by his advisers to form a new , Cabinet. If Groy were to take such a step j as that with which tho report credited him i this nftomoou, it would indicate that ho was at length nlivo to tho gravity uf his position. I hear, however, that thero was no foundo. tion for tho rumor that tboFroBldent porshvts , in his determination to remnin at the Elysee and that this evening M.
