>-E\v York Oct. 13.—The influx of young
* a;1( i women into the city in October is
He the southward fitting of the birds. By
and threes from every little country
T -!agt> and town they take their scattered
a i( j as the lines of them converge to
ward Manhattan Islaud every train that
(W - ngs imo the Grand central station re-
B iads one of the swarms of pigeons that
used to blacken the air and break the tree
biugha when they settled down in Ken
tucky forests.
Years ago t is autumnal migration was
slmost wholly masculine. Nowadays,
from mortgaged farnu and village econo
mies, with the diplomas of rustic schools in
their pockets and the freshness of country
breezes in their cheeks, girls who have been
drawn from every state in the union by the
ureat magnet New York, whichracts over
vi e areas even more powerfully than did
Lowell a; and Lawrence on the New England
ru- a! districts in the beginning of the fac
tors era, are husiied on every block by the
impatient elbows of business on Broadway,
tmd begin their initiation into the home
sickness provoked by boarding house hail
bedrooms.
At least fiO per cent, of the army of peo
pie a: work in the dry goods stores, 40 per
cent, of the telegraph operators, 30 per
ceut of the typesetters and more than 50
per cent, of the t. pewriters are women;
women’s faces have become familiar as
clerks, bookkeepers, secretaries and even er
rand girls in the larger counting rooms, in
tho general offices and the la .vyers’
chambers, and of the army of working
women which is to be paralleled nowhere
on earth unless in London the country pro
portion is laige, and yet the October swarms
are increasing.
\V liat is to become of this frosh young
blood that i: so eager and buoyant, though
o inexperienced, and that now gives
piquancy auu color to the work-a-day
routine? The idea of earning one’s own
jiving and a belief in the independence and
freedom which is supposed to go with it has
a fascination for the bright eyed ad veuturess
for the golden fleece of fortune; but as a
matter of fact, stripped of the rosy halo
wine.. the life may assume in the distance,
the bitterest dependence that a woman can
kuoiv, the most galling yoke that woman’s
shoulders can tear, the most cruel annoy
ances that a woman can suffer will iu all
probability oe the 10. of four out of five of
these ro y darn els who throw themselves
on their own resources and the tender
mercies of the big city for a livelihood.
In spite of the talk about the widening of
women’s opportunities, most of the practica
ble avenues are choked with travelers
before the rights of way are fairly secured.
>o class of workingmen can claim experi
ence of such cui-throat.couu petition as exists
among women. Tue typewriter who asks
lor a place at $7 a week will find somebodv
ready to take it at $6 fro.n under her ha and.
'lhe governess who applies for a 525 a
month si euation will meet on the doorsteps
half a dozen S2O teachers. The
would-be telegrapher who applies at the
Cooper Union free school for instruction
will be refused admission, in view of the
crowded market, unless she has the definite
promise of a position at the end of her
course. The Normal College turns out
every year hundreds of teachers who have
to wait weary periods for scuolars. Tno
average of women at marriage, which na>
a direct bearing on the labor problem, is
increasing, and larger and larger numbers
remain unmarried.
Women look hopefully to the professions
to relieve the strain. Medicine is by long
odds the most promising. How many
women doctors does New York suoport
handsomely? You may count them on
your fingers. Tne wages of the trained
nurse, though stili good, threaten continu
ally to fall. How many women dentists
has the city? Three, flow ma y lawyers?
One. How many clergy women? None.
How many ne a spaper women? A handful
who earn excellent wages, aud a skirmish
line of free lances whoso board bills are
often overdue. A young lawyer who ad
vertised for a housekeeper at sl6 a month
had over 200 women blocking the passage
ways. A woman who advertised for a
music teacher for her little boy had thirty
applicants within four hours.
IVi at does art work mean? A few li.tie
samples of waier colors or decorated menus
hopefully placed under glass for a sign at
the door of the boarding house, aud mouths
of hand to hand wrestle with fate, with
destitution in the background and hunger
and cold snarling in tue middle dlsta ce,
with final defeat almost certain, if indeed
the route stop short of death on a drawing
board stretched between twocbairs, as hap
pened to a young girl with ambitious some
time ago.
What is a woman to do? This is what
one woman is doing. Ten years ago or there
abouts she graduated with honors from
one of the best girls’ schools in the country.
Her father gave a graduation pai ty for her
aud a brilliant career was pi edicted by the
guests for the beautiful and talented creat
ure. By and by her father failed, and the
care of him, broken in health and needing
luxuries, and of her invalid mother came on
the carefully educated girl. Six dollars a
week is what she is able to earn behind a
ribbon counter, and there she stands. In
October there are advertisements for sales
women for the fall trade. I have numbered
by count more than fifty waiting at 8
o clock in the morning to ask the super
intendent for one of half a dozen positions.
College graduates are expected to be well
satisfied with S6OO and S7OO places at the
teachers’ agencies (with fees and percentages
to pay), and often accept S3OO or S4OO in
privato schools with corridor duty at night
after the day’s grind is ground. And wi.at
compensation is there in the public schools,
for desks in which this fall there are many
applications from country girls, for many
hours’ work per day in a foul atmosphere
and with a constant strain on the nerves?
in the New York schools a year ago out of
>i,o4a teachers, 3,123 were women and 222
•hen, but for the first year’s service men’s
salaries run up from $720, and
women’s from s4uß. Does not every
woman know that it is next to impossible
?or a self-dependent woman to live in the
oity on S4OB a year in any degree of com
iort and clothe herself with sufficient neat
ness to insure the respect of her pupils and
associates? In Brooklyn a w oman who is
not a Normal school graduate faces the
same problem on S3OO. And what stima
n* is there to a teacher’s ambition? Sim-
P 1? as a matter of public policy, what en
couragement do the cities hold out to the
,°® ea who form the great working force
t the schools t > double their efforts in view
- Possible prizes? Take two instances as
ypes from among hundreds:
ite priucipal of a grammar school lu
he annexed district of New York died
alter an illnesss of nearly one school
)ear, during which time his assistant, a
oman, did his w rk for less than half his
•alary and brought the soh 01, as sh wn at
e summer ex Miration, into a better oon
loa than it bad before attained. This
r applied for the princip ilstiip, was
,/ an d a man was appointed wuo bad

ir * °f several years’ faithful serv

then required to find time outside of

for the position.”
soim,, |' ou klyu no woman bolds a grammar
J I'fihcipalship, and msn are orowdlug
women out of the intermediate and primary
principalsuips and branch principal'hips,
and it is not the policy to encourage the
appointment of women even as beads of
departments. Young men and young
women, schoolmates, graduates of the same
country college, come to the city: the men
find public school employment at from
$1,500 to $3,200 and tae giris with harder
places are extremely fortunate at SSOO.
And is there no brighter outlook i a any
direction? It is hard to see whence any
preseat improvement can tie looked for.
In tvp *stting, which used to be lauded as a
good trade for women, they are getting for
the most part magazine and book work
which is not paid like that on the news
paper.
So long as women are brought up with so
little business education or appreciation of
business methods that one of the brigutest
stars of the day is able to declare witu self
congratulation, as did Mrs. Kendal in an
interview a fortnight back, that though she
has earned her own living for many years
she has never drawn a check or signed a
receipt; so long as the multitudes of girls
who live at home, pay no board, and work
without sense of responsibility, simply for
pin money, refuse to hold thoi,- services at
anything like the normal market rate, but
act without esprit de corps , like a swarm
of scabs, cutting rates every season; so long
as both these causes produce such a propor
tion of incompetents among women, so
long the labor market will rise slowly and
reluctantly, if at all, and the country girl
would batter think several times before
bringing her vitality for sale.
The head of one of the largest dry goods
houses, who keeps watch of his employes,
says that the men average better in punctu
ality and devotion to his interests than the
women, but that the best women are better
than the best men. Sometimes exceptional
women, who stand among their fellows,
reap the rewards of success, and sometimes
circumstances are too strong for them. One
bright example for the country girl. A
slim brune te, from an up-country farm,
was put at selling low-priced jewelry behind
a dry goods counter at $5 weekly. She
lost no opportunity of seeing good stones at
Tiffany's and the other great houses, and in
a few years made herself a clover judge of
gems. She was promoted in time to the
charge of the stock, and finally intrusted
with buying for the firm. Next she began
to dasign brooches and fancy pins, and now
great quantities of pretty things are made
uo under her orders. She is an artist in
her way and puts to good use her passion
for diamonds. She has never married, but
lives in a wonderfully pretty flat with her
mother and three younger sisters, whom
she is educating. Her income is an excel
lent one, and clean grit has helped her
through. Clean grit is urgently needed by
every girl who see.ts her fortune hero.

AN ELEPHANT TO BE HANGED.
Sentence of Death by Strangulation
Pe ssed on a Huge Beast in Berlin.
Berlin Letter to London Telegraph.
Not very long ago a large crowd of offi
cials and curious persons assembled at a
fiequeated spot in this capital to witness
an execution. All the preparations had
been most carefully made, and the
aid of several hangmen bad been
called into requisition; but the
rope broke, and the intended victim
received a temporary respite. He is now
walking about, sleeping, a,id living in much
the same style as before the verdict, though
apparently his supply of food is stinted.
This denouement requires explanation. It
may be remembered that “R •stem,” one of
the two Indian elephants presented in 1881
by the Prince of Wales to the zoological
gardens at Berlin, some few years ago ran
his war ier througn the body with one of his
tusks. The poor keeper died from the effects
of his wound. Sentence of death was not
at the rirnu passed on tho culprit; it was
deferred, and only quite recently solemnly
proclaimed.
“R istoni” was, however, not condemned
to the scaffold for this crime aione; he is
said to have learned nothing from the
clemency s.iown to him uf-.er the above
mentioned outrage, and to have displayed
ou divers occasions since that time evident
symptoms of a wicked and depraved
nature. Moreover, !.is external appearance,
as compared with those of his colleagues iu
another part of the elephant boase, is
declared, and with justice, to bo any
thing but attractive, and to have brought
discredit on the establishment. Some
gossips attributed this to want of
food—it being affirmed that he ins had
to live on almost starvation rations, besides
having had his feet in irons siuce the com
mission of his foul crime. Be that as it
may, tee director of the zoological gardens,
after long and deliberate consideration, aud
after having consulted all the experts, re
solved that no reason would any longer be
alleged why “Roatom” should not pay the
penalty of his crimes with his life. The
black cap was hauled down, toe judge me
thodically placed it on his head, and the
thick-skinned monster was solemnly de
prived from that moment of buns, bread and
peanuts and sentenced to death i y strangu
lation at the early hour of 7 o’clock oil a
given morning. The mode of bis death had
also Teen previously carefully considered.
Home proposed that he should be shot, but
this method was considered dangerous, lest
the bullot should not take immediate effect,
or lest the sportsman’s hand should tremble
and miss the mark. Others preferred
poisoning, and some suggested the electric
current. All these propositions were re
jected in favor of a process of strangulation
by a tbree-quarter-inch steel wire.
Every precaution having been taken, the
noose was let fall over the monster’s head at
what was supposed to be a favorable mo
ment. This was when he passed out of his
half-opened oigo in order to sniff the morn
ing air. No fewer than forty-two men were
stationed in the vicinity to draw the noose
t’ght. Whether it was that the dumb
creature had a presentiment that these
were his executioners, ruthlessly bent
on depriving him of light and
life, or whether it was that the arrange
ments were clumsily made, the main
point is certain, namely, that “Rostom,” as
soon as be felt the pressure of tne wire,
quietly made a slight movement in the
opposite direction, and snapped the
substance that was to strangle him as if it
had been cotton thread. Tne executioners
were discomfited; the chief officers were
dumfounded, but “Ro tom” took no further
notice of them, and continued his prome
nade around his out-of-door inclosure. The
next attempt to settle “Rostom” is post-
Soned until after the director’s return in
rovembor.
MEDICAL.
SKIN CANC£Ii.
Several years ago I was called to see a colored
woman who had a malignant form of cancer on
her foot. The cancer grew worse under the pre
scribed treatment, and the toes and one side of
the foot were at length eaten entirely away. The
patient could not have survived much longer,
bat I commenced the use of Swift's Specific,
and it cared her soand well. That was three
years ago, and there has been no return of the
disease. I regard Swift’s Specific a most excel
lent medicine for blood diseases, as its tendency
is to drive oat the poison.

CANCER OF THE TONGUE.
For three or four years I had an eating sore no
my tongue that made a considerable hole in it.
I became alarmed at its progress, and went to
Atlanta for treatment. The result was that I
commenced the use of Swift's Specific, and the
sore was soon gone, without a trace of it lef.
