WOMEN AS ENUMERATORS. Lilllo Devereux Blako Says They Are Eligible. Women will be mployed both an enumerators nnd us cleiks In the com- many women will find remuneration for the opportunity to earn a good sum of money In some occupation which will not tako the wholo of their time. The scrvlco Is not severe, especially In the largo cities, where the dwellings are crowded together nnd n person can work all day In collecting the names of the Inhabitants of a f w blocks. An other point which deserves considera tion Is that the census enumerator as a rulu sees only women In the homes which must be visited, ns the calls are made during the hours when men are away on business. The number of persons who will bo emp'loycd In securing the facts for the census of 1900 reaches up Into the tens of thousands. It Is to be hoped that Replacing the Gravity. The construction of the track from Farvlew to Waymart on the new Honesdale branch, where the grade compels the laving of seven and one half miles of rail to go a distance of one and one-half miles, progresses lap idly. The track-laying Is under the personal supervision of the roadmaster, Jl, W. Kellow, two gangs of tracklay ers of eighty men each and two con struction or gravel trains being en gaged In the work. At Waymart the digging of a cut from twelve to fifteen feet In depth has been made necessary to reach the grade of the old track. The greatest part of this cut Is through solid rock. It Is a little to the east of Staple's hotel, com ing Into Waymart along the rear of the new houses on the east side of the principal street. pllatton of the census of 1900, and the bureau expects that numbers of them will apply for these positions. Vet there is danger that they may not ha'e tho opportunity of obtaining the work for want of the knowledge that they may hold such places, ns I notice that all of the papers In articles on the census speak of tho employes ns men, not one within my observation making any statement that women may find useful and remuneiatlvo oc cupation in this most suitable service. Women were first employed In this labor in 1860. At that time the head of tho census department was the late General Trancls A. Walker, and It was my privilege to call his attention to tho propriety of permitting women to enter this new" flld of usefulness, lie was a little surprised at first, but ad mitted that the suggiHtlon was of value, and promised to give It his best consideration. There lies beside mo as I write the letter I received from hlni a short time after this Interview. It runs thus : Department of the Interior. Census Office, Washington D. C. Jan. 16. 1SS0. Mrs. Lllllu Decrtux Blake. Madam' In reply to your communica tion of the 12th Intl., I have tho honor to sov thai I am not aware of any rea sons existing In low for lccardlng women us Ineligible for appolt tment as censui enumerators. Very rtipfetfully yours, Francis A. Wnllter, Superintendent of Census. Acting under this assurance, all the rules and icgulatlons for the taking of the census of 1880 were so drawn that there was no discrimination on account of sex. As a consequence, many wo men were employed throughout the country as enumerators, and In every case did good work, one woman In a western district making a record In the number of names she obtained in a thinly settled section. In 1S90 women ngaln found occupa tion ns clerks and as census takers, though then, as now, the fact that wo men were eligible to these positions was not as widely known as It should have been. There are many icasons why this em ployment for wbmen Is most suitable In the fit st plnce, as the work only lasts for a few weeks or months and then ceases absolutely, It has always been found difficult to find the best men for a labor which offers no permanency of support, while there are many women so situated that they are glad to have their labor In this most suitable occu pation.

Threatens to Move. The Lehigh Valley Railroad company threatens to move its freight and coal wharves from Perth Amboy If the ex isting clamor against Sunday work does not cease. For several months there has been a growing agitation against Sunday work. It was started by the Rev. S. Saymanowskl, many of whose parishioners are obliged to work almost every Sunday, although often idle on Monday and Tuesday. At the offices of the company a letter from the management has just been made public. In It there is a distinct threat to move the wharves and all the com pany's business from Perth Amboy. The letter was dated Nov. 18, and part of It reads as follows: "You can say to the people of Perth Amboy that If our Interests are to bo antagonized, we will not build new coil docks or make other Improvements which we have under contemplation. We have another point In view for th permanent establishment of new conl docks.and the matter Is now under con sideration ns to whether we will make any changes. If the people of Perth Amboy continue nagging at this com pany as they have been doing In the past, then I don't think It will tako our people very long to decide to go elsewhere." Officials of the company assert that $300,000 Is to be spent In improving thi (Perth Amboy terminus If the present plans ore not changed, because of the attempt to do away with Sunday work. Kitchen Joys Are real when the hnppy wlfo Is able to make whiter, lighter and better bread than her neighbors. It's a righteous ambition, too, and If she uses "Snow White" Flour there Is no reason why she should not accomplish her desire every time.
