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. Llllle Devereux Blake.

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

Flour there Is no reason why
she should not accomplish her
desire every time. "SNOW

wholesome bread even In the
