How It Affects the Female Olerks in the Departments. Permission to Enter Wedlock Asked and Given—W t Some of the Clerks Say. There are several cases in the Depart- ment of the Interior where husband and wife hold office. There is no rule of the department to prevent this, but there is | strong opposition to it in high official cir- | cles. it 1s looked upon as bad policy. Mar- ried women, it is supposed, are provided for by their husbands. The places which they hold might be filled with widows, or unprotected women, who would be just as efficient as clerks. Thus, there might be a blending of business and charity. It is now the practice of the department in the matter of promotions to give preference to unmarried female clerks over their mar- ried sisters, provided, of course, that the record for efficiency of the maiden is not below that of the matron. A case of this kind arose not very long ago. In one of the divisions there was a clerk who aver- aged daily 140 pages of work. Near her were two clerks, one married, the other not. They were of equal ability. Each averaged about 68 pages per diem. One had to be reduced in order that the clerk of greatest efficiency might be promoted. The matron was the victim. Some opposi- tion was made to this arrangement by the “influence” of the reduced clerk, and the answer was made by the department that the married woman was most able to bear reduction. Permission to Marry Asked. Marriage is considered a dangerous ex- periment by the clerks, and they often ask permission to wed from their superior offi- cers. Only a few days ago the chief clerk of the department received a letter from a young female clerk stating that she con- templated matrimony. Her parents were dependent on her and the man of her choice had just entered his profession and had not as yet struck the combination to fame and fortune. She loved him, and although he could support her she would not like to have to impose her parents upon him. She did not desire to jeopardize her position, and therefore asked the consent and the blessing of the department. It was given. Mr. Daniels, it is said, wrote to the young lady and told her that neither he nor the Secretary of the Interior would enter any protest against the course of true love, pro- vided they were invited to the ceremony and permitted to kiss the bride. What Some of the Clerks Think. Some of the department people declare that any rule of the department tending to discourage marriage would be void at law. Department people were human, had a common right to choose their mates with- out being meddied with by the department, and that if Barkis and Pegotty were willin’ |it was none of the Secretary’s business. | The department should be run on business principles, and the officials should abstain | from interference in the domestic relations | and private affairs of their clerks. The de- partment should not be turned into an |lum for widows and orphans. The Secre- | tary of the Interior was not an overseer to | ami of the ladies of the department, and that the Department of the Interior was neither a charity lodge, an alms house nor an institution run in the interest of the in- digent.

There ts certainly a wonderful confidence felt by people in Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and its truly remarkable power to cure dis- | ease. There have recently come within our knowledge facts like the above which prove the great and Widespread confidence in this remedy both amorg public and private institutions. In the first place doctors prescribe and recommend it, as if is the | discovery anc prescription of an eminent physician. ‘This. together with the fact of its wonderful cures, | has led many dispensaries, hospitals and institu- tions to adopt the remedy as a standard medicine. Now we learn that various foreign missions in India, China. ete., are having the remedy sent | them as part of their necessary requirements in | case of disease. Of course all these facts give the people every- Where the greatest confidence in the medicine, and their contidence is well placed. Dr. Greene's Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy does cure. It makes the sick well. and perfectly safe to give to infants, children ot | the most delicate invalid. These facts make it the most popular remedy of the day, and druggists State that no remedy has ever equaled it either in its enormous «ales or the complete satisfaction it gives those who purchase and use it. Another thing of great importance is the fact | that all who use it, or who desire to use it, have the privilege of consulting without charge, person- ally or by letter, its discoverer, Dr. Greene of 35 West 14th street, New York, the well-known and successful specialist in curing all forms of nervous and chronic diseases.

Opened by Harmony Lodge, No. 9, in Odd Fellows’ Hall Odd Fellows’ Hall, 8th street southeast, last evening was the scene of a large as- semblage of Odd Fellows, being the open- ing of the lew meeting room of Harmony Lodge, No. 9, who are the sole owenrs of the buliding. The occasion was graced by | the presence of Grand Master John H. Wood, the officers of the grand lodge and @ large delegation from each of the several subordinate lodges of the jurisdiction, who paid a fraternal as well as official visit to the lodge. Harmony Lodge was organized December 14, 1839, during which time 745 have been admitted to membership, 520 have lapsed or died, leaving the number now on the rolls 220, all of whom are in good standing and entitled to the benefits granted those who are sick or disabled, and in case of death the widow, orphans under twenty-one years of age or dependent relatives of the deceased members are given the benefits that accrue at death. The new lodge room is 44 by 37 feet in the clear, and in addition the reception and ante-rooms on the west are enlarged ani, with the paraphernalia room and lavatory on the east and in rear of the principal chair, makes it well adapted for the pur- poses of Odd Fellowship. The floor is cov- ered with Brussels carpet of beautiful de- sign, upon which is placed high-back com- fortable chairs of oak. Across the east end of the room is a concave recess, with the raised dais of the noble grand. The desks of the two secretaries are placed on raised platforms on either side of the chair of the presiding officer. The west end of the room has a ratsed platform for the dais of the vice grand. On the north is a plat- form for the sitting past grand, and on the south is the station of the chaplain. The chairs of the noble grand and suporters are of mahogany, upholstered in leather. Those of the vice grand are of oak. Lambs’ wool mats rest in front of each official chair. The ceiling is frescoed in oil colors and gold, with the emblems of the order entwined in the handsome design. The room is lighted with four large chandeliers. Over the noble grand chair is a small and tasty chandelier, globes tinged with red, and on either side of the vice grand’s chair are side lights, globes tinged with blue. Four new radiators have been placed in position for heating. When the grand lodge officers entered last night they were received with the usual ceremonies, Noble Grand Charles T. Cross making the address of welcome. After examining the officers of the lodge, who were highly complimented for their proficiency in the written and unwritten work, and the reports of the grand secre- tary and treasurer read, the orator of the evening, Rev. Fred A. Stier, grand repre- sentative, was introduced, and entertained the large audience on “The Meaning of the Signs and Symbols of Odd Fellowship.” _ LYNCHED BY NEGROES. A Murderer Hanged and Burned by His Own Race. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 14.—Word reacned here’ this morning of the execu- tion of D. T: Nelson, a negro, at Varner last night by a mob composed entirely of negroes. Last week Nelson murdered Ben Betts, a negro. The friends of the murdered man gath- ered at the jail last night and dragged the trembling wretch out in to the rain and darkness. They tied a rope about his neck and dragged him to a tree, where he was swung up. ‘They then gathered a lot of wood and set fire to it. The flames quickly reached the suspended figure. The rain whéch was pouring down quenched the flames and saved the body from incineration. —__ KNIGHTS OF LABOR. Seventeenth Annual Session of the General Assembly. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14.—The seven- teenth annual session of the general assem- bly, K. of L., began at 10 o'clock this morn- ing in Industrial Hall. General Master Workman Powderly presided, and ninety delegates were in attendance. The sessions are being secretly held, and at noon it s announced that the proceedings would not be made public until late in the afternoon. glee METHODIST MISSIONS. Work of the Committee in Ses: Minneapolis Today. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 14—When the Method! missionary committee was called to order today a report favoring an appropriation of $125,000 for the work in China evoked a prolonged debate, as did a request for $58,000 for the mission field in South America. Of the latter amount $1,000 was designated as “for special relief, owing to the revolution.” The gross amount recommended by the committee for missions abroad is $672,939, but this must be s at least 15 per cent in order to avoid a deficiency at the end of the year. ——— Incorporation Denied the Roby Club.

The third annual chrysanthemum show the exhibition, it will be by long odds the most successful effort the associated flor- ists of this city have yet made. Judging | by the quality and character of the ex. | hibits themselves, there can be no ques- | ton that it is the finest and most complete, | if not the largest, show of the sort evér | given in this country. | Both floors of the National Rifles’ Hall are crowded with blooms. There is but just room between the tables on which the | blossoms are displayed to allow for the free circulation of the admiring crowd. | Last year the chrysanthemum show in | this city was a revelation to the people in the matter of the possibilities of floral de- |velopment. This year they will have their eyes still further opened. There have been more new varieties perpetrated than in any other year until now chrysanthemums may |be as different from each other as though they were flowers of altogether different species. The exhibition will last until Friday even- \ing, being open each day from 10 in the mornjng till 10 in the evening. The com- |mittee of the Florists’ Club, which has charge of the exhibition. consists of the | following members: C. F. Hale, who is the superintendent in charge of the exhibit; Robert Bowdier, Alex. Garden, A. Gude, George Field, W. S. Clark, J. H. Ley and G. _W. Oliver. To the indefatigable labors of Mr. Hale is largely due the success of the great show. For days he has been doing nothing else but attending to a thousand and one details. He and his associates have every reason to be proud of their success. ‘The exhibit is wonderfully well arranged. ‘The first floor is devoted altogether to potted plants, and here it looks like one great field of bloom. The second floor is where may be seen the display of cut blossoms. In addition to the chrysan- themums there is a lavish parade of roses, carnations, orchids, insectivora _ plants,. ferns, palms and table flowers of all sorts. In the center of the room is @ great pyra- mid of ferns illuminated by a display of electric lights. ‘There are a number of dinner tables ready, set as though for a banquet, to give some idea of what may be accomplished by the florists’ art. There are tables in yel- low, tables in pink. There would seem to be everything that flowers can be. Alto- gether it is such a show as Washington has never seen before. There are very few exhibits from out of the city. Most of the flowers that are entered in the various contests for prizes are grown within the District of Columbia. The reason for this is very simple. There are very few florists outside of Washington who can compare witb the florists of Washington or who can |hope to compete with them with any de- gree of success. —— er WANTS A RECEIVER.

Controller Eckels spoke at the meeting of the Boston Bankers’ Association yesterday afternoon. He was given a very cordial greeting. In the course of his remarks he gave the following explanation of the financial strin- gency of the past summer: “Between May 4 and October of this year the withdrawals in individual deposits in national barks alone were $299,000,000, and of banks and bankers’ deposits to the amount of $79.%0,- 000, a total of $378,000,000. To meet this drain the banks were compelled to call in loans, thus depleting the resources of active trade to the extent of $318,00,000 and from banks | and bankers to the amount of $51,(%),000, while to their borrowings was added &7,- 9,000.
