I had no idea that 1t was so much of a wreck. AS soon as I can find a place we will move, but I have a difm- cult job on my hatids. I have been looking around as the agent of the Postmaster-General, but as yet have met with no success. The old Medi- cal Museum building on 10th street, which might do for temporary quarters, is still occupied by about clerks of the record division of the Surgeon - General's Office and the War Department is looking fora; for one of its divisions still outside, cannot, therefore, be had.

Talks in the Council To-day. ‘WOMEN’S INDUSTRIAL INDEPENDENCE Eee Applause for a Knight of Labor. << es 4 WOMAN FARMER SPEAKS, a ‘To-day the women of the Internafional Council. talked of women’s industries, not the industries ‘of the broom and needie, but all kinds of produc- tive employments in which women have engaged uring the last half century. Perhaps an idea of what the forty years has done for women can be Dest obtained by the observations of the women around their headquarters at the Riggs House and about the lobbies of Aibaugh’s Opera House. The office of the Riggs House, where the tyrant man has long held sway, has been in- vaded by an aggressive host of women. ‘The statesman, the major and the judge, who formerly loungéd about the office blowing great clouds ‘of tobacco smoke, look wilted and. dis- couraged. They have retreated to the reading- Toom to smoke. Even the duce, with his cigarette, seems to have gotten it through his head that something 1s going on. Ho stares about in aston- ishment and lets his cigaretta go out. ‘The women lean over the clerk's counter, rush about through ‘the office, come and go through the door once sup- posed to be sacred to the male sex, and, altogether, show @ contempt fo; ail the llttle ‘social laws: which men had made ure their own selfish enjoyment. And business? Well, one need only ask the tired clerks What they think of the Women as business People. Bells are jingling all the ume, messi are sent to and fro, and the mail that comes with every train is big ‘enough for the United States Many of the women are heads of big organizations. ‘Ther letters follow them all over the country, and are showered upon the clerks at the Riggs House by the bushel. MRS. LAURA Mt. JOHNS. ‘There was a large attendance at Albaugh’s when the session opened this morning. Mrs. Laura M. Jobns, of Kansas, a bright little woman of energetic manner, attired becomingly in black, preatd Mrs, Johns, of Kansas, thought she has been en- gaged in working for the Cause of wom suffrage for only about four years, has done so much’ work in that time that she ts regarded as one of the leaders. Her active work has been chiefly in Kan- sas, where she has taken leading part in the cam- palgns that have resulted In securing municipal suffrage for women, Last fall Mrs, Johns organized nine conventions, one in each Congressional dis- Urict of thé State and an ditional one at the home of cach Senator. A year before a similar ° Series of conventions Were held, at which Miss Anthony helped Mrs, Johns, and the women of Kansas, Last fall both Miss Anthony and Miss Foster went out to assist In these conventions. Mrs. Johns was in charge of the legislative work when the municipal suffrage law was secured. She says, however, Uhat the success of the work 13 due to the efforts Sf the mass of the wide-awake Kansas women. "Mrs. Johns, who is a fair representative of these “wide-awake” women, was born and educated in Pennsylvania, She has made her home in Kan- Sas for four years. She has engaged yomewbat in Bewspa . She ts direct in energetic inaction. She says that municipal ‘Woman suffrage is firmly established in Kansas; Uhat the one municipal election held since the ‘of the law hus proven its in its effect In enforcing the prohibition law. In Kan- the temperance question and the woman Suffrage-question were closely United. Mrs Johns says the W. C. T. U. and the woman suffrage as- soclation Work together in harmony. Rev, Anna Shaw offered the opening prayer, and. after @ hymn Mrs. Johns made a brief address, UNEQUAL WAGES POR EQUAL WORK. The history of the ages, she sald, did not show that Iffe fs a rose and Illy lined path for girls, The farther they went back the blacker the record. Hu- mankind was rapidly and steadily advancing. Less than fifty years ago there were butefour gainiul av- cations open towomen. Now women haveentered into hundreds of lines of employment; into almost every indusiry. Even Marguret Fuller's prophecy of “a woman” sea-captain 1S now fie filled. But with all this advancement the fact yet remains that women were recelving Unequal Wages for equal work, Until this was remedied their mission was not accomplished, and the heavenly vision was hot realized. She spoke then of her own state of Kansas, remarking that the pay of women teachers there more nearly equalied that of nen in the same employments ‘ian in any other state. ‘THEY HAD SCHOOL SUFFRAGE there, and the wages of the women teachers must come up. ‘They had women engaged in bee- keeping, women engaged in silk-culture, women physicians, women lawyers, fifteen women editors ‘and publishers. They had ‘also women cashiers. A business man told her recently that women were imonopolizing the cashiers’ places of the World—a comfort to her, as it refuted what she had been taught, that 'the women could be nothing but inaccutate. She spoke of women real-ostate agents in’ Kansas, and 5) ¢ also of mar- Fring 89.40, Profitable in her industry. Marriage state, she paid better = ulti- mately 4S an industry, a8 & woman was assured U( one-half of the joint earnings of their Ss after ber husband had mi to st land for which his earthly bi ge was not checked through. They believed the industrial independence of women would furnish the solution Of many of the soctal problems of the aay. It was eminently fitting that the matter should be dis- cussed in this council and that it should be pre- tT vest women orators, She ‘then presented Mrs. Mary A. Livermore. MS, LIVERMORE, Mrs. Livermore ts one of the famous women of the Bieta See s without 4 superior, at least, sofar as her own sex 1s con- cerned. She has a fine presence, an impressive Manner, ’and a strong face, Gas e how. for which she is chiefly honored 1s that Which she did during the war as the head of tho Northwestern Branch of the Sanitary Commis- sion, She was wonderfully active during the four years of the struggle, going ceaselessly back and forth, at one time m: ring the packing and direc.

She referred to woman's work tn arts and profession. In many Positions women worked with men who generously conceded their ability. She quoted Senator Blair as saying that no charge of malfeasance in oMfice had ever been maintained against a woman. The last report of statistics showed THRER HUNDRED EMPLOYMENTS IN WHICH WOMEN WERKE ENGAGED. ® The bureau of statistics of Massachusetts’ re- Ported 284 employments in that state in which women were engaged. Carrol D. Wright had Proved that the average annual earnings of the ‘Working Women of Boston was $209.07, and her average annual expenses for actual needs was $261.30, leaving a margin of a few dollars for Looks Or pleashres, Under such disadvantages women were struggi{ng. It was the popular belief that women “had hardly red, the fleld ‘of invention, A recent writer sald that only 334 patents had __ been Issued to women, and most of Uese were for house, hold articles. Mr. K. C. Gill, who 1s in charge of the model-room of the Patent Office, however, had Kept a record showing that 1,935 inventions by ‘Women had been patented by Women, and covered all flelds of industry and science. She was told, Yoo, that many of the patents taken out by men have originted by women, who have hesitated about taking out patents themselves, lest they Should not be considered valuable. A WIFE FOR EVERY MAN AND A HUSBAND FOR EVERY WOMAN. She firmaly believed thatin the higher civitiza- tion, which was their ideal, every man who wanted would have a wife, and every woman who destred {t, ahusband, Tue husband would be the bread- Winner, and the wife the breadmaker, the artist who would make the home. Conditions would compel the education of American people in in- dustrial arts. ‘They needed techaical schools as free to Women as tomen. Canon Kingsley said Women would never have social equity until they had legal equality. ‘Therefore to Working women, a3 weil as to all women, the Dallot "was a necessity. What the women needed Was a fine esprit du corps. ‘They must rise above petty disagreements, “The woman ‘Thou gavest me, she gave ine of the tree and I did eat,” 1s SUll the plea of the shirk and coward. She re- ferred in contemptuous tones to the women in homes of luxury who declared they had all the Tights they wanted. Mrs. Livermore's address was applauded generousty. MRS. ANNA M. WORDEN. ‘Mrs Shaw next introduced a pleasant elderly lady in spectacles, Mra. Anna M. Worden, the worthy master of ‘Vineland Grange, No. 11, who Spoke of “Women in the Grange.” ‘Mrs. A. M. Worden began the battle with and for the world In 1858 a8 assistant matron of the boy's side of Perkins’ Institute for the blind tn Boston, under the superintendence of Dr. F. G. Howe.’ In 1865 she became matron-in-chief of the Home for the Friendiess in 8} eld, Mass. She has written at different tmes and for a number of Years for various journals, and has been for the second tume made worthy master of Grange No. 11, of Vineland, where she has resided since 1871. ier life and Work refute the. % against woman suffrage and Its advpostes that they have nO motherly feelings or instinets, THE PURPOSE OF THE GRANGE. Mrs. Worden explained at some length the pur- Pose of the grange, its social advantages and op- Portunities, tts educational and co-operative fea- ‘ures, In the grange woman was eligible to every Office except Chat of steward, and held that of “lady assistant,” to which no man iseligible. She weit upon the educational advantages of office holding, including a knowledge of parliamentary usages ‘and laws. She obtained a better under- Standing of herself, her mission, her aptitudes, and what may be ‘required of her in the near future. ‘The grange gave UuniUes to purity, elevate, refine thoughts well expressed, ana by t) subtle magnetic Influence, so potent for good when exercised in the right spirit. Sue spoke of tne grange as a temperance society, en} ‘vemper- ance in all things; asa peace society, rauing War; a8 a debating club, tolerating all shades of opinion, and whose obligations do not interfere with moral, civil, or religious duties or opinions, A FEMALE REPEESENTATIVE OF THE KNIGHTS. Mrs. Johns next presented Mrs. Hulda B. Loud as the representative of the Knights of Labor, Mrs. Loud is a slender woman of dark complexion, of nervous action, who spoke with much ease and grace. ‘To most women there, she said, the name of the Knights of Labor would sound harshly, since with Unts order 18 associated so much dis. order, and yet 1t was pre-eminently the feld of Woman. She spoke of various cases where women had aided tn solving industrial problems. What the labor organizations needed was woman's tact. She then gave an account of the women iu the state assembly of Massachusetts Most of the Women were in the shoe industry, ‘They were earnest and thoughtful, They held offices in the assembiles, as the order no distinction on account of sex. Then the question naturaily arose if they can vote and hold in these assemblies why not in the state? A litte education 1s a dangerous thing. When man once allowed woman to learn the ‘a, b, c's he gave up his whole case. Speaking of the selfishness of man she said it would be along day before men Would attain the grandeur of John Stuart Mill, Who in dedicating his essay on “Liberty” to his wife, stated thai she had or been. the author of, most that was good in his work. Most men would fecl humiliated to owe their success or greatness to a woman, and yet most men did. WOMAN'S GREAT INFLUENCE IN BIE K. OF L. 1s being felt wherever women of have Joined the order. Her work in the/order 1s mani- fest in the banishment of tobacco and rum from the assembly rooms, and in the greater effect upon herself in the development of a ;, OTe self-reliant character. Her official nition is Slow because of man’s selfishness and her own Umidity and disinclination to push her claims, And then office has not and never will have the attraction for a woman that it has for a man, ‘The Knights of Labor is the grand force among the masses—the barrier that protects capital and monopoly from the results of their folly and crime, She urged that they should foster labor organizations to prevent revolutions, ‘THR QUESTION OF CO-OPERATION. In the absence of Helen Campbell, vice-president Of the Sociological Society of America, who was expected, Lida Barney Sales, corresponding secre. tary of the society, read a paper describing the Work of that society, and discussing the q: co-operation. | ‘The Socio! x Was teaching Une adapt golden rule to trade, that social development was Contingent upon individual development. MES, BARRY'S SPEECH. Mrs. Shaw next introduced a lady of tall hgure, simply attired in black, as Mrs, Leonora M, Barry, delegate and organizer of the Knights of Labor. a Mrs, Barry ts fairly en- ¢ Utled torepresent women By fits u i ag ba ‘3 ge i B ! il ii i itl] i id ogee “ul eeset Heda Bef come forward and bow her acknowledgments for the ovation tendered her. WOMEN AS FARMERS. Mrs. Johns next called forward an attractive- looking well-preserved lady of small stature, This lady was Esther I. Warner, who spoke of “Women as Farmers” Mrs, Warner was attired in black, With a lace bow at her throat, and a fringe of lace at each wrist. Bhe wore glasses and read her paperina graceful manner.’ Twenty-five years ago, bet a widow with smal) children, she {nvested hersmall means in a Nebraskafarm.” She managed the farm, supported her family and edu- cated her sons. ‘She is ing the winter 1m Baltimore with her son, who is a graduate of Johns lopkins University an ry ofa charitable organization there. ‘Mrs. Warner, as she came forward, repeated the homely.couplet that “he who by the plough Would thrive must either hold the plough or drive.” As farming required the ment of men she said the power of women in that direction fits her peculiarly for agriculture, ‘The farm is Tecommended to women who are thrown upon thetr resources as a means of support for herself and her dependent ones. ‘The earth yields her ine erease to faithful tillage regardless of sex. Mrs. Warner took a Western farm under the houiestead law, and she now owns her own mile square. THE FRMALE PRESIDENT OF A STRERT RAILROAD. Miss Anthony said they had heard from the fac- tory girl and the farmer. She wanted to intro duce another practical working woman. She thereupon introduced Mra. Dow, the president ot the Dover, N. H., street, railroad. Mrs. Dow, comfortable, well-to-do looking wownan, came for ward and bowed. She sald that shedid not want to say anything about her street rai but she Wanted to tell about her farming. She then told of the immense raspberries she had raised by her own hands, AN EX-FACTORY GIRL ‘Miss Anthony then made Mrs. Harriet H. Robin- son come forward. Mrs. Robinson said she could agree with all Mrs, Barry had said about the fac- tory girl. She said she herself had to work tn's Eowell tactory whee a girl.
