A CLUB FOR GIRLS. iVirniT ti mm is HBisizmM n T CffT KCCIIK. Tie Bmafltaf laeiMtaaaf Working; airla 1b New Terk-Breat Results Pre dicted Ibr the Movement. A number of ladle of thla city have In . tereeted themselves In the fonrntien of a elnb for working girls. Several meetings lure beea held, and evidence of growing Interact given In the Increasing attendance of young women. At the last meeting Intra ware thirty or mera present. They bare net eecured a permanent home, but hire rented a room at MIm Wright's, en North Prince atreet, and it la erganised under the title of ih3 " Yeung Women' Aid aoeiety." Every evening a num ber of girls gather In the room. An effort Is te be made te seen rea membership that will Justiry the eetabllahment of club rooms, where the girls may gather te or ganice measures for their mutual benefit, and where they may enjoy social evenings with safe and elevating surroundings. In this connection It la noted that in New Yerk, en Tuesday and Wednesday, a con ventlen of working girls' societies was In evasion; Of the two- hundred delegates present, mere than half were wage earn ers, among them a number of teachers and bookkeepers. It Menu te be the aim of the promoters , of these clubs in this country te make them a common meeting ground for as many classes of women as possible. The ultorleralm Is the aiding and elevating of the classes or working girls most needing such Influence. Miss Florence Lockwood read a paper en literary elements In the women's clubs. She advocated well-selected libraries in club rooms, and recommended many standard works. She did net believe women should be cooks, dressmakers or housekeepers alone. Tbe perusal of geed literature would take away the glamer of outside amusements and teach a woman mere than ever of the pleasures of home. Miss Clira Petter, the daughter of Bishop Petter, followed with an admirable paper en " Provident and Benefit Schemes. ' Several clubs have adopted a scheme of making all the girls contribute a nominal sum out of their weekly earnings, which is put into a fend, from which they recetve $3 te 95 a week when sick or out of work. She also treated of summer vacations. She described the condition of a girl alene in a city in the summer months,,bow few laces were fit for her te go te. Miss otter foregoes the pleasures of ether watering places te take charge of the . Miller's Place property, which Is known among the women's clubs as "Holiday Heuse." The cost of two weeks vacation at " Holiday Heuse," Miss Petter said, was but ft), and all a girl had te de was te make her own bed and help dry the dishes once a week, and last year the house cleared ever 9100. Similar co-operative seaside resorts were described by Miss Emily M. Morgan, of Hartferd, Conn., nnd Miss Lizzie Patterson, of Bosten. , The following extracts from compeslto paper prepared by several members of the Industrial society, Uobeken. is fairly re presentative of tbe fashion In which the problems of dally life are grappled with by these young woge-oarners. It was read by Miss Chapin, and waa In answer te the question, "What de working girls ewo each ethor?" A working girl Is doing otber work- leg girls an injury when she consents te work for less than " living wages." A Kirl who is supported by her parents and only werka for pocket money or te buy her clothes, or a young,married woman who werka for the same objects, can afford te take lower wages than a girl who bns te pay her own beard, Ac. We de net approve of the principle of strikes. We should prefer te soe all mat ters referring te labor and capital regulated by law. Fer this purpose representatives should be sent te Congress who would really represent the wage-earners and thuir interests. Strikes generally profit ue one but the walking delegate. Strikes In rare Instances and In the present atate of the laws are justified when the empleyer attempts te bring the wages paid down te starvation rates. They will only succeed If the girls all go out together and If Uiey remain firm. If one girl sees another doing her work badly she should net report her, but rather show her hew te de the work. If a girl sees any dUbenesty abe should warn the offender, and if It continues she should then tell the empleyer. It ought te make no difference In tbe quality of a girl's work whether she has a geed or a bad employer. It is always te theirl's Interest te de the work well, for she then feels that abe Is ludeendeut and can always get another place. One geed and pure-minded girl often ele vates the tone et these working with her. Any girl with common sense will be dis gusted with the conversation of a "tough" .Hrl. nirl.aenn divide Inte trreuDS accord ing te their tastes and characters. If the ing te their tastes ana ciiaraeiers. u geed girls predominate the "toughs" afraid te talk out One geed girl has n Influence than one "tough." We h i mere have noticed the superiority or girls belonging te our societies, ineir goeu iuuukuib strengthened there. They are helped by the practical talks. A number of speakers took the view that this woman's movement Is the greatest revolution the world has ever Been. But it will be an essentially peaceful uprising and its prophets say It is te end in better women, better wives and through them better men. " LEM BIXQ'8 PHEUICAMEXT.

Three New Varletlea ef Baas te lie rteate In the Ceneetos-Anlera Anticipating a Geed The general sentiment among anglers Is that this will be a geed eeeeen for sport along therlvera and creeks. The winter having been a mild one they expect fish te be abundant It la probable that the black bass will begin spawning In the waters of thla state within a week or two and be all through before the first of June. The bass, unlike many ether apeeteeef fishes, care care felly guard their young for some time, fiercely driving away intruders. This morning Fish Commissioner De mnth, accompanied by Dr. H. E. Muhlen berg, T. C. Wiley and Jacob L. Perter, drove down te Martle township. They took with thorn three large cans of trout, which name irera the state hatchery at Emsus. The fish were placed In different streams. The state fish commission have been quite active In stocking streams, an! be sides keeping up tbe supply or the best game fish are Introducing new species tbst may prove very profitable. Henry C. Ferd, president or the com mission, speaking te a Philadelphia JCedger reporter en the work or the commission, said : " The chlef production or the state hatcheries this spring has been trout fry, and the Pennsylvania commission has dls- f tributed 22,000,000 of their fry this spring, as against l.ew.uuu issi year ana uw,uw me year before, and has applications for hair a million mere fry than can be supplied. n?be principal reason of this grest in crease In the demand for trout fry Is that the plantings of three or four years age are beginning te show returns, aud people see that many streams that were depleted have been restored te their original geed condi tion aa regards fishing. We can't begin te produce the number of trout tbat-will be solicited from us In the future unless we get an appropriation from the Legislature for the erection of another hatchery. New Yerk state hss five hatcheries, while Penn sylvania lias only two. The demsnd Is this state is greater, because the moun tainous region is greater, and because there are mere mountain streams In which trout will thrive. New Yerk has but few streams outside of the Catskllland Adiron dack regions suitable for the growth of trout. . . "The commission's stock or carp was ex hausted last December, although we ob tained several thousand from the United States commission. s "We have also put In Lake Erie about 14,000,000 while fish fry, and their success success fel planting Is evidenced by the fact that the catches or this species or fish in Lake Erie have been unusually large, and tbe selling price In consequence reduced one third. " Tbe wall-eyed pike Is next te tbe whlte fish In commercial Importance, and Uie Pennsylvania fish commission is at present collecting spawn or this fish and expects te hatch out between 15.000,000 and 20,000,000 fry during the month or May. Most or these will be put In Lake Erie, but many will be planted In the lakes or Pike county and larger rivers of our state. The flesh of the wall-eyed plke is white and firm snd delloieus. "The wall-eyed pike Is sometimes called Susquehanna salmon, although it is really net a salmon. I eftet wondered why this fish was peculiar te the Susquehanna river east or the Altegbenles, until one day Sen ter Cameren Informed me that seme sixty years age a French priest introduced it into the north branch or the Susquehanna rrem Seneca lake. The wall-eyed pike grows te 18 and 20 pounds in weight Last rear, the Pennsylvania commission put in' 11,000,000 wall-eyed plke in the Delaware, Schuylkill and Juniata rivers, from the United Slates hatchery at Sandusky.

They are all, besides being fine feed fishes, very garaey, will take artificial fly or bait grEefllly and fight fiercely. "The white bass is similar In appearance te tbe white perch, but grows much larger, reaching frequently a weight of three pounds. The yellow bass Is marked like a striped bass, but Is colored like a yellow perch, and attalnsa weight ofthree pounds. The crappie is a perch-shaped fish, wblch grows te a like weight, and is a delicious ible Ash, ss is also Uie strawberry bass." In regard te shad propagation Mr. Ferd said that during the past four years 40,000, 000 shad fry were placed In the Delaware river. In the same stream 100,000 Penob scot salmon were deposited last month. "The United States commission," con tlnued Mr. Ferd, " has been or great assist ance te the Pennsylvania commission. A bill bas been introduced into Congress placing the United States commission in the department of agriculture, and giving te the commissioner of that department the appointment or all the officers or the com mission. The Pennsylvania commission has protested against this, believing that it would Impair the usefulness or tbe United States commission, as well as its inrinnenrlenpn of action. The Pennsylvania Fish Protective association, formerly known as the Anglers' Association or Eastern Pennsylvania, en Saturday night made u similar pretest, with a request te the representatives rrem this state in Con gress te oppose It The Introduction or this bill has aroused the opposition of tbe fishing Interests all ever me country, ana letters of pretest are going te Washington daily.

A DERELICT GROOM. II FAIL n MEET IH 8WEITIE.IT AT Til APN1NTEI Mill. The Minister, Maaleians and Onesta As semble, Bat They Disperse la Disgust-Mrs. DenueeTla Net Serry. The lower nnd of Seuth Queen street waa In a great state of excitement en Thursday evening. The cause was a marriage ceremony booked for the evening which did net take place becauae the groom failed te put In au appearance The name of the bride-te-be Is Sadla Denues, and her choice of a matrimonial partner waa Harry Nichols, a young man whose residence Is In this city but who haa bean working In Philadelphia ler some time past Nichols was at the borne of his Intended In tbe afternoon and drank freely. He left about supper time and aald be would go te his bearding heuse and dress for the greatest event ei uis me. At the time announced for the ceremony a clergyman was en hand te tie the nuptial knot, the friends or the bride had assembled and all tbat waa lacking was the groom. After waiting beyond the time designa ted, the company began te get uneasy, and finally the clergyman left The musicians engaged for tbe occasion tarried until a late hour, but still be falled te come, and finally they lea in disgust About 11 o'clock, however, the groom put In an appoarance. He was "boozy." His explanation te his prospective mother-in-law was that a mtnlen of the law had him In durance vile for having betrayed another woman. This explanation riled the prospective mether-tn-law and she forthwith "bounced" Nlchel from the heuse and told hltn never te oemo back again. His story about being arrested was a myth. The records de net show that he waa In custody. But the records show thst he falled te take euta marriage license. He ellher did net knew that ene was needed, did net Intend te marry the girl or get drunk and forget te get the necessary legal papers te enable him te get married. The failure of the marriage te come off Is the thome of conversation in the southern part ofthe city and the prospective bride has the sympathy or her neighbors, who have ceme te the conclusion tbat she made a narrow escape. Mr. Dana's Reply te Mr. CleveUud. In reply te Mr. Cleveland's sharp criti cism of Editor Dana tbe Sun te-day con tains the fullewlug artlcle under tbe head: " " nCMAnRS TO A COWAnilLY tiAn." " The stuffed prophet of William street, In a rage or wounded vanity, Is thus re re eorted: 'There Is only ene thing,' Mr. Cleveland resumed, and a tender expres sion lit up his race, ' tbat I care anything about In these attacks; they are net con cen con flned te myseir. It seems tbat the senile Dana does net confine his worfare te men. Women are net free rrem his dastardly assaults. Mrs. Cloveland hss net escaped. It Is bad enough for Dana te print his lying statements regarding myself, but it la Infinitely mera cowardly and dastardly for blm te Include, as he has done, my wlfe In his attacks. Nothing could be mere con cen con temptlblo or se far removed from all In stlncw of manhood.'" "Te ue habitual reader or the Sun is it necessary te say that this Is a cowardly lie. It is net tbe less a He bocause It Is uttered by a man who haa been president or tbe United States. It Is net less cowardly be cause It proceeds rrem a husband whose In feriority in social, moral and Intellectual qualities Is recognized by all who knew the admirable woman linked te blm by tbe name they bear In common. "Passing ever tbe blackguard epithets In which the half-drunken deputy sherlff reappears and finds his only possible re treat, we come te the mere serious matter. Te proveko sympathy for himself, Mr. Cleveland deliberately draws the- name or his wlfe Inte an interview Intended for publication, charging the Sun with an offense which, if tbe charge Is true, ought te rendertbis nowspaper odious te every gentlemsn en Manhattan Island, te every honorable man who respects woman hood. The charge Is false, and Mr. Cleve Clevo Clove land knew It was false when he uttered It " There Is but one answer that we care te make. We Invite Mr. Cleveland te point te a line or a word that ever appeared III the Sun concerning the geed woman whose name be thus do de irruina. which lustlfles. d I recti v or in directly, tbe statement contained in tbe paragraph quoted above If he cannot de that and be cannot we In vlte the attention of tbe community te tbe portrait of a selfish poltroon, an unworthy husband, about whose conduct in tills affair nothing can be said by any person of sensitive preemptions that will net leave en the coarse and swollen face, peeping rrem behind the edge or bis wife's garments, a red mark like tbe sting of a whip lash.

Anether condemnaUen will be bold .en next Friday, when a larger number of properties will be submitted te tbe Jury for condemnaUen.

The Steel Produced by a Heading Works Considered the Hest, The erdnance bureau at Washington has Issued a call for bids for furnishing monthly supplies of 25,000 pounds or steel for the use or the bureau, In which It Is stipulated that the specimens e( steel produced at tbe Carpenter steel works In Readlng, and en exhibition at the bureau, shall be the standard of quality. Tbe ordnance bureau has already thor oughly tested various specimens of steel with a view te their availability foruse In the manufacture or crucible steel guns, the prescribed requirements being, 80,000 pounds tenslte strength, elastle limit 48,000 pounds. The spocimens or Carpen ter steel tested showed, untempered, 120,000 pounds tonslle strength, elastle limit 87,000 pounds. The same steel, tem pered, showed a tonslle strength of 101, 000 pounds, elastle limit 101,000 pounds, satisfying the expert official Judges that the Carpenter steel Is far superior te any ever tried by the government This teat haa already resulted lu an order by the ordnance bureau or ferglngs forflve guns for firing testa te be furnished at once, and which are new being manufaettped at tbe Carpenter works In Reading, together with an invitation or proposals for .thirty addi tional, or various sites, the aggregate amounting te some 150 tens. The steel armor-piercing projectiles aeme time age ordered by the government have been finished, and .uespeciinena forwarded te Washington from the Carpenter works have proved superior te all or tbe many speclmens forwsrded by ether steel manu facturers for trial by the ordinance bureau. In an outalde test made or small sizes, with nine competitors, eleven or the pro pre pro jectlles made or Carpenter steel succes sively pierced the armor plates, nlne or them going entirely through without frac ture, while In a majority or cases the ether projectiles were shattered te pieces agalntt the plates, or these projectlles about 2,000 a month will be requlredby the bureau, Involving a monthly consumption or 150, 000 pounds or steel. Atthogevo-nmentnrsanftlsat.Watorvllet, N.

An official test or the Carpenter tool steel, recently made, ahowed that " It hordens well In either cold or warm water or oil, and doea net crack after repeated heatings or twist In cooling." The endurance or these tools In working hard castings" Is net less than 100 per cent, groater than that or any ether steel new In use," each tool having sustained 10 hours steady service without rosharpenlng, the tool advancing one-tenth or an Inch each revolution, at a speed or 20 feet per inlnute, and en oil tomperod steel ferglngs one-twentletb of anlncb,thodepthercutbelngtbroo-olghths or an Inch, at a speed eris feet per minute, the tool lasting evor clx hours without grinding, a gain of at toast 100 per cent ever all ether tool steels.

Mr. Keunan, tbe Famous Traveler, Leo Lee Leo tures About It. Mr. Geerge Kennandollverod, last night, te a geed audlence In the court house, hi lecture descriptive of his visit te the mlues or Kara, In Siberia. The matter or his locture Is substantially the same as tbat already published by Mr. Kennan In the Century Magatine. He was In the employ ment or this ungazlne when be in ule Id s Jeurneys In Russia, and the six loctures which he has this wluter beeu se sue. cessfelly giving have nil been printed heroteforo In the pages of the Century whero our readers may find them. We de net tborefero find it nocessftry te give an abstract of Mr. Kennan's statements. This could net In fact be dene with any satisfac tion as the whele story Is Interesting. The Journey te the mines of Kara, which are placer geld mines te which political and criminal Russian convicts are condemned, was undertaken by Mr. Kennan toward the close of 1885. Ue was but a few days at Kara, wbere he was ledged In tbe resldonce or tbe Russian governor or tbe convict prison. This governor bad telegraphic Instructions net te allow Mr. Kennau te communicate with tbe political convicts snd be watched blm very closely. But Mr. Kennan threw blm off bis guard by pretending te have no Interest In tbe political convicts ; but when tbe governor went away after a few days te meet an engagement, Kennan seized the oppor tunity te soe the prisoners te whom he had letters and who lived outside the regular prison, en tickets of leave. He doscrlbed very graphically their condition, and made agreatimprosslen by retlrlng te put en tbe prison dress, In which and Its clanking chains he made a sonsatlen when he re turned. Mr. Kennan speke quietly, in a strong voice, well medulated, without gesticulaj tlen and entirely from memory. His work wilt certalnly be a powerful agent In moving public opluien In this country against tbe Russian ajpvernment whose oppression or us political convicts it se vividly depicts. NINETY-ONE YEARS OLD. Mrs. Mary Faealuy Reaches That Ad vanced Abe en Thursday. Mrs. Mary Faegley was 91 years old en Thursday, and in honor of the ovent a number of her graudchildren presentcd ber with gifts.

Up te a few years age her rocelloctlon of Lancaster aud IU people, at they were when she was young, was remarkably geed.
