A HOUSEMAIDS’ONION
Hew York Has a Full Fledged Organ
ization of S rving Girls
HOPE TO ACHIEVE INDEPENDENCE BY
An Employment Bureau of Their Own-
Are Railing a Fund to Eatablith a
I Home For the Unemployed.
Coming close on the heels of the re
port of the strike among the servant
girls in Superior, Wis., is the announce
ment that right in New York a vast
labor organization of housemaids has
been formed. Nearly every kitchen in
the city is represented on the rolls of
the union. The organizers say they
don’t expect to go on a strike for some
time to come. Their organization is not
quite in working order.
At present the women are chiefly
concerned in perfecting the plan for
their out of work and sick benefit fund
and the establishment of a home for
houseworkers out of a place.
The union has the distinction of be
ing the first of its kind in the state. It
got into working order and' elected a
set of permanent officers on the 18th of
February last. It is under the protec
tion of the Working Women’s society.
General houseworkers, cooks, cham
bermaids, waitresses, seamstresses and/
up stairs girls are eligible for member -
ship. The president is Mrs. Mary Lillis
and the secretary Miss Celia Goodwin.
Both of them are general houseworkers,
as is also Mrs. Barry, chairman of the
board of trustees.
Regarding the social status of the so- 1
ciety, Miss Woodbridge, secretary of
the working women’s organization, said: 1
“While of course we have none of the '
Vanderbilts' maids or the Astors’ em
ployees, all our members are engaged '
in first class families, and get high
wages. The families that come to us are ;
usually willing to pay from $lB to SSO .
per month, and are all thoroughly re- ■
spectable. <* (
“The evils of the present system at
private employment offices are not gen
erally understood by employers or the
public in general Usually the offices
charge only the nominal price of a dol- .
lar or two for their services in securing >
places, but they will keep a girl run- :
ning about on all sorts of applications
that are of no value, unless she pays ■
them an extra fee of $5 or $lO.
“Very often lodging places are run in
connection with intelligence offices, and
the girls are obliged to patronize them i
while they are waiting for a position, i
These lodgings are usually miserable i
rooms in tenements kept in the most i
slovenly fashion. I
“It was a knowledge of some of these
evils that led the Working Women’s
society to establish its free employment .
bureau, and to organize the House- '
workers’ Mutual Assistance association. ,
The girls are hoping after awhile to be ,
able to raise funds enough to furnish a ,
small house, where members can live j
when out of work. They intend to work |
it co-operatively. ’ ’ —New York Journal. ]

k STORY FROM JAMAICA?

' ONE MAN’S EXPERIENCE WITH
DYSPEPSIA.
food Distressed Him—HU Heart Wat
In A Precarious Condition.
(From Brooklyn, N. Y. Times.)
There is no secret now as to what was the
matter with George L. Bergen of Jamaica,
L. I. His friends thought he had gone into
a decline, and possibly, had heart disease.
And no doubt he did; but it all came from
the dyspepsia, and since that has been
cured, his heart disease has disappeared also.
He told a reporter of the Times what cured
him the other day, and his conversation is
repeated here:
“ The trouble was with my digestive sys
tem, and with my heart. As a consequence,
for nearly six years I was unable to enjoy a
meal. To partake of fresh bread, cakes,
pies, or any kind of pastry was out of the
question. A small portion of food of this
character would give me untold agony. So
I had to go without it. My trouble steadily
increased, despite all my efforts to check it
I took all sorts of medicines prescribed by
physicians, with no perceptible abatement
of the disorder. Finally my heart became
Involved, and occasionally I would be dis
turbed with tumultuous .beating and nalpi
tation. Worse than all, feelings of *s
sion and suffocation would ensue, an
times the heart action would be suspen
I confess I was very much alarmed when
those symptoms manifested themselves, and
st times I lapsed into a state of utter despair.
“ One evening last fall, I noticed in the
Brooklyn Times an account of a remarkable
cure effected by the use of Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pale People. I was pale and
that fact helped to awaken my interest in
the announcement, which I read through
.carefully. A day or two later a similar
narrative appeared with reference to the
pills, the symptoms of the person cured
being similar to my own. That settled the
question for me. The next morning I
procured a box, and before I had taken naif
of them I experienced decided relief. I
continued the pills and my improvement
was rapid, until now I can eaywith impu
nity wnat my appetite suggests, without re
gard to time or amount, in reason of course,
and the functional disturbances of the heart
have disappeared. I have always had heart
trouble, but it ha* been greatly relieved by
the use of the Pink Pills. I consider myj
■elf cured of the stomach trouble. Any one
having the symptoms I have described may
take the pills with the utmost confidence of
their bringing relief.” Mr. Bergen is an
active member of Jamaica Council, Royal
Arcanum, an exempt fireman and has been
for many years connected with the hard
ware establishment of James T. Lewis, one
of the largest mercantile interests on Long
Island. z •

[riom his" pedestal and co-dperale almost
en collegue with the interviewer. In the
first place, the interviewer, who has had
a large experience in his craft, is a
, specialist. He is more likely than the
interviewee to understand the conditions
which go to the construction of a suc
cessful interview, and therefore he
, should be allowed a tolerably free hand
as regards form and arrangement. Per
sonally, of course. I always take stock
as rapidly as I can of the interviewee
and consult his humor in everything.
After all, he is the person most inti
mately concerned with the success of the
joint production, as it is his name with
which the public is concerned and not
that of the interviewer, who is almost
invariably anonymous.
I am always in his debt for the con
cession of the interview, and if he wishes
it he must be largely master of its man
ner. I am only suggesting that the
wisest plan, after the original act of
gracious condescension has been com
mitted, is to forget for the brief hour of
the interview that you are a Jupiter and
the other man a black beetle. Don’t
imagine that he is necessarily unconver
sant with affairs political or literary.
Why, a rising politician actually ex
plained to me how a most elementary
word should be spelled—quite of his
own motion too. I was in no difficulty
whatever. In my soul I remember that
I began to sibilate ‘ ‘prig, ’ ’ but I sup
pressed quickly the nascent naughtiness.

Messrs. Lippman Bros., Savannah, Ga.
Gentlemen:—l commenced taking P.
P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke Root and Po

was completely covered with the disease;
I took a short course of P. P. P. and it
soon disappeared. This spring I became
very much debilitated and again took
another course, and I am now in good
condition. I consider P. P; P. one of
the best blood preparations on the market,
and for those who are needing a general
tonic for building up the system, im
proving the appetite, I consider it has no
equal. Will say any one who will eare to
try P. P. P. will not be disappointed in
its results, and I therefore cheerfully re
commend it.

A Uniform Classification of Rates.
Washington, May 21. —The senate
committee on interstate commerce au

uniform classification of freigb*’-. rates,
framed on lines recommended by the
National Board of Trade. It will re
quire the interstate commerce commis

tion which shall apply to all sections of
the country. The bill is intended to .
meet the complaint of shippers that the
railroads in different parts of the coun
try have different classifications which
render it impossible to determine accu

Tt to be wondered at that there are
so many sick and. half-sick women. Most
of them suppose their peculiar troubles can only be cured by
the physician. That means local treatment and examina
tions.. No wonder, they hesitate And hesitation gives
disease a stronger foothold..
The truth is that local: treatment and examinations are
nearly always unnecessary. They should not be submitted
