"I want a servant girl, but I do not want one over 18 or 19 years old." The remark was made by a well-known East End lady yesterday to tha proprietor of an employment oiUce.

"I have employed a great many domestics," tlft lady continued, "but I never again want a girl over 18 or 19 years of age, and if they are younger so much the better. It Is not a question of wages, tor I am satisfied to pay a young girl even more than 1 would a middle-aged'bne. A girl between the years ot S3 and 30 can never be depended upon. She is liable to leave you any day, and many of them don' give you a moment's notice. At this stage of 'the conversation a Press reporter who happened to be present asked: "What Is your objection to having a domestic, say, 25 years of age? Is it because she Is careless and doesn't do the work, or because she Is unkind to the "It is neither," replied the lady.

"The one great objection is that she usually has company six evenings In the week and you have to be continually on the lookout or she will entertain ber company In the best room you have In the liouso. Then, too, she is, as I have said, liable to leave you at any time, and usually at the very time you need her most. She generally wants to nave her own way about the house, aud If her ways do not suit you then she leaves and you are without help I have just disposed of a girl of that kind. She came to me about three weeks ago, and with her came a young man. The result was that she entertained him nearly every evening in the week.

She seemed to take no notice of the hour of night and 1 got heartily tired of her methods and discharged her. What I want now is a young girl If I can get a good one I don't mind teaching her how to do things about the kitchen and the house in general. But I am done with middle-aged domestics." After the gentleman at the employment office had told the lady he would try and secure hur a good girl, she left Then, turning to the reporter, he said: "She is not unlike many ladies who apply for help. The general demand la for young girls. Many of them know a great deal about conducting the affairs of a house and are always eager and witling to learn.

Then, too, their employers are not bothered with their company as they do not generally have any. A lady came Into my office only a few days ago and wanted me to and her a young girl. She said sue had a good girl -now but she thought she was about to be married and she wants to discharge her and get another before she is left altogether. As a rule these young girls are getting as much money as those ot maturer years, because, as a rule tney are attentive to their duties, are not difficult to manage and do quite as much work." 0. premium is offered for the coin you mention.

I was there rather to dismember the other fellows than be a member myself I beard the discussions oo the question of a standing army and why it should be cut down. A tew years before that discussion I saw part ot tbe army materially cut down, but In either case no living man ever contemplated a walking army ot cranks until CoL Hsnry Watterson talked of his hundred thousand unarmed office-seekers moving on tbe capital to overawe tne tripartite commissioned officers. The weak Invention of tbe Populists, the in-coxeycated horde, has found it pretty rough slewing so tar, but it may go further and fare worse. The Industrious and speculative financial editors have for two or three years been steering the Reading road into Pittsburg, and some have even run it on a paper track within the city limits on the South Side. I met a gentleman yesterday who remarked that (be Reading industry had fallen off at a time when tbe greatest show on earth existed for its getting here over the Mansfield road, through the tunnel, over the proposed bridge and over the elevated road into the very heart of the city.

A tine depot would then be only the question ot expense and enterprise. This scheme would appear to have as much feasibility as many of those advanced heretofore.

As to having the last word, it is bardly safe to bet either way.

E. Grootginger, are. a decision was rendered in anotner 01 men ease that the Indictment- was invalid in form because the Information was made by a constable, and it was understood that this would settle all the other cases. It would if another ludge of tha county had not made an exactly opposite decision yesterday. Judgo sorter reaou for bis action are given wltn tne aecisiun, and seem to be sound.

He says that the power to conduct prosecution In this matter (i. on an Indictment founded on con- atahlo'a ratnrnl ilwavl SUfijeCt tO the control and approval of the court, and to be exercised witij due regard lor puouc interests. Further, the judge says that this offense not only streets public society in the gravest manner, out strikes at the foundation of republican Institutions. When the decision In the former case was handed down, the Press remarked that It could hardly be satisfactory to the alleged offenders, If they were guilty, because, at best, it was merely a decision that the of-Jense was not proved. It did not exonerate the defendants In the eyes of public morality, whatever it miglit do in law, Evidently judge Porter agrees with tho PBs, and is using his authority to bring the matter to an issue.

However, as there have been two opinions from the bench, In opposition, there may be another and another before the casercoroe to trial, and it will be interesting to know what other members of Allegheny county Judiciary think oo a subject that looks to people unlearned In the intricacies of the law as beyond all question on its face. A TAfcK loll BOOTH. Thk visit of Commander Booth to Pittsburg will most likely prove a good thing for the Balvatlon army in this city. The general disposition here, as everywhere, has been to ridicule the dress, forms and ways of the Salvationists. This may be duo to a large extent to the fact that the system under which the army works Is not understood.

The human family Is Influenced largely by appearances, and Is inclined to laugh at anything outre la aspect, however meritorious it may be at bottom. That the Salvation army has done a practical work In many cities, in rescuing people In the slums from a state of spiritual and -temporal depravity, Is generally believed, but in Pltte-burg we have seen nothing but the unimpressive processions on the streets, with drums, tambourines and horns out of tuna. It Is this Impression that Commander Booth should seek to remove, if possible Unless he can do so, his visit to Pittsburg will not be of much avail, because It is the unthinking that the Balvatlon army must reach for success, and It Is this class that Is most easily amused by the spectacle of a handful of men and women, in queer uniforms, parading the streets Ilka hobos. It strikes the disinterested observer that the army eould do more effective work, if it did not challenge ridicule so decidedly, but as the organization has existed for a good many years, and found its methods satis we can hardly expect that there will be any change now. Everybody may wish the commander success In bis undertaking In this city, but he must ina.ke a very decided change of feeling among the people of Pltuburg If be is to accomplish anything of a substantial character.

Thi verdict of J16.000 agalqst Breckln-ridge, while not vindicating Madeline Pollard, perhaps, may be accepted jtenerally as a rebuke to his and CoL Pbit Thompson's nf the, rlffht of men to Wreck women without compunction of conscience, If they don't get caught, Madeline Pollard will be bald no better, perhaps, than she was held to be before the verdict was rendered, acd be may never get a dollar of money consolation from it, but public sentiment and public decency are vindicated. lhe Breckinridge-Thompson theory that brutality Is a sufficient answer to an allegation from a weak woman that a grievous wront has been done her doesn't go, It would be unjust to charge that theory upon the state of Kentucky, but there can be no doubt that Kentucky people feared they would be held responsible to sonie degree, at least, for It. It would be unjust to them, to any people, to bold themN accountable In a sweeping way for such grots ess It was one of the most shocking features of a hocking case, and the jury did well to condemn It forcibly. If any further good fruit may be expected from this verdict beyond rebuking the Urecklnrldge-Tbompson view of morality and honor, It should be a deterrent Influence in similar cases, if there be any similar, against flaunting the disgusting details In the face of the public. It would seem to have been the design of the defense to make both parties to the suit so bad" that no relief could possibly be given to the plaintiff.

Tbatwastbe attitude assumed by llreckin-ridge In his testimony. His plan was to confess everything charged against him and mora too, but to evade the consequences by trying to show that the woman was worse than he. The brazen tactics did not win, bulldozing did not wiu, and saying "the woman was to'blame" did not win. That Is as it ought to be, and though a demand be made for a new trial, or petition for an appeal. Col.

Breckinridge' political constituents and his church associates should endorse the verdict by relegating him to that level to which be lowered himself by bis testimony in his efforts to degrade the woman still further than be bad already done.

It was, probably, a belief that the Coxey movement would prove to be a farce, that caused It to be regarded generally with indifference, overlooking the Berious consequences of so bad an example, and though Ohio ana Pennsylvania saw the visitation come and go without serious consequences, Some of the western states have Imitators having been serious In California, Texas, Wyoming and other states. Entire communities in th far west hare been terrorized by tha Fryes and Kelleys, whose followers got food and transportation as the price of immunity from brigandaso, and even this did not save railway companies from having trains seized and used without much assaying, "tly your leave." Theso turbulent demonstrations have from the first been characterized by dangerous features, by menaces to the public peace and any developments, such as the revolt reported from Frostburg, that may seem to foretell a amsolutiou of the first of these threatening bodies of organized tramp-ers will not be regretted by law-abiding, industrial citizens, Coxey's army may goon, but any development that looks to its disintegration is not to be regretted.

Bwi Saturday the great coal strike is to begin if the intentions of the leaders of the miners' associations he carried out The men sem willing enough to put the matter to an Issue, having implicit confidence in their leaders, and there is little reusoa to suppose that the strike will not take place as scheduled.

But there is one thrtig the miners' convention should have considered, wnich Is what condition the miners are in to enter Into a prolonged struggle without work. The strike can hardly last loss than clx months to be successful, and the men are generally destitute to begin.

That be has carefully and conscientiously studied the people, habits and history of his native island Is plain not only from several of his novels, but also from nis "Little Manx Nation," which consists of three lectures do-livered before the Royal institution. Mr. Calne is a novel writer rather than a historian, but it is doubtful whether a special student of history could have written more accurately or entertainingly or have come so close to the heart of things In this strange corner of the world. Mj- Calne dabbled in literature early, and has also done various work in journalism in London. The great capital, however, has few alluromonts for htm.

He prefers to live in the country, because of his desire to study human nature. He has recently contributed to the Christian Union a most interesting account of the composition of his first novel, "The Shadow of a Crime." He calls this his first book, but It was by no means ms nrst attempt at writing.

Mr. Calne savs that not un til "Tho Shadow of a Crime" was given to the world did he feel that he had touched the consciousness of the public. He found a publisher for It easily enough, but In the writing It came bard. The idea of the novel had been long In his mind before he recognized It not the Idea of writing a novel. It came from a tale told by his grandfather.

The story was written with Infinite labor. Nearly a fortnight was spent In making a Btart. The first half was written at least four times. When finished the book was more than halt destroyed, so that a fresh suggestion might be worked in. After that it was all written over again.

He Is rather negligent about his apparel, and is described by one visitor as "loosely, almost untidily, dressed." His home is in the Lake country, of which he Is very fond. It Is called Hawthorns, and overlooks Derwent- water and Busscntuwaite, while the town of Keswick lies below. It is a retired and quiet place, and there the uovelist with his wife and llttlj son leads a simple life. His is a nervous, restless, active nature. Much of his writing is done at night, and not infrequently he works with hla en till or a 0' clock in the morning.

The comments have been very favorable and the opinion seemto prevail that, as county chairman, Mr. Fagan would be generally acceptable to the various factions. his ability, it is conceded that he would be able to manage the affairs of the party In a satisfactory manner.

His" name was suggested In connection with the chairmanship In view of the probable retirement of Mr. Brennen. As the county chairman has not yet given an answer to the question as to Whether he will be a candidate for re-election, but has strongly intimated that he is now serving bis last term tn that office, the Indications point to Mr. Pagan's entry into the field. If be decides to become a candidate, ha may have a clear track.

CHARLES A. TAQAN. Mr. Fagan was born in Pittsburg and has always resided In this city. He is about 38 or 40 years pld.

After the election ot Morton Hunter as assistant district attorney on the Democratic ticket in 1874, when the tidal wave swept the Republican party from power, Mr? Fugan was appointed cierk to the assistant district attorney. He has held the fiosltlon continuously since that time, hav-ng barn retained by the successive Republican administrations, lit was admitted to practice at tho Allegheny county bar about nine years ago. He has always taken an active part in politics, but has never been Identified with any of the Democratic fac-tiona Two weeks ago he whs elected without opposition as one of the four Allegheny county members of the Democratic state central committee. He has been a delegate to several state conventions ana. always takes an active Interest in county conventions.

The contest for tho Republican nomination for congress in the Twenty-fourth district Is becoming very interesting. John P. Eberbart has been doing some hard work during tha past two weeks and has succeeded tn putting some strong men to run as delegates in his Dull ti if. If certain politicians would keep their hands off the impression prevailH that Eberbart might secure the Allegheny county delegates, but It is certain that thoy will not, and that In a short time he will And his political fences in very bad condition. It Is said that the work of pulling down bis delegates has commenced, but his friends claim that some have refused to withdraw.

They say they are for Euorhart and propose to stand by him to the end of the cot test It is asserted, on good authority, that Joseph Speer, who announced himself some time ago as an Allegheny county candidate, has quietly dropped out ot the contest That leaves the window glass workers' president to make the tight alone in this purt of the district. His hope, It is said, is to effect a combine with li. F. Hop wood, of Fayette county, and in that way also secure the support of (iruene county. But It seems that Hop wood has a very lllmsy bold on the delegates that will represent, his own county.

A well-known Republican, from that part of the district, in speaking about the congressional contest, said: 'As the time approaches for nominating a candidate for congress In the Twenty-fourth district, It becomes more evident that K. V. Acheson will be named. Uopwood has been making things somewhat lively, but out ot the 14 delegates from Fayette countv, not more than two will bo willing to follow him in a contest The chances are that after giving Hopwood a complimentary vote the 14 delegates win go in a oouy to Acneson. The Republicans realize that he was not fairly treated two years ago, and they now want to show their sincerity In the support of the party candidate.

Many Republicans hoped that Eberhart would pull out of the light and still hope that he withdraw before tha convention Is held. They have kept very quiet In the interest of the party ana do not want to take the course that now teems to oe necessary. There aro circumstances in Eberhart's career which, If made public, will likely cause a great deal of bitterness. If lie does not withdraw in a short time 1 am afraid that the battery win be opened In such a manner as to make things unpleasant. "As to Washington county, I have given the situation in that part of the district considerable attention.

Acheson will have the undivided support of that county. The candidacy of Brit Hart will have no Influence. With possibly one or two exceptions ail of those Republicans who epppsed Acbe-son two years ago are now giving btm enthusiastic support "The situation In Greene county Is uncertain, but as it has only four votes it will not cut much of a figure In the convention. It Is true that many Ureene county Republicans are opposed to Acheson for the nomination, but if he is nominated they will give him loyal support There has been some tailc about Oroene county electing delegates tor either Hopwood or Eberbart but the indications are that it will send an unln-structd delegation to the convention. Tho Republicans of that county do not want to be continually on the outside.

"I have given a review of the Twenty-fourth district and from the information I have obtained 1 am convinced that Acheson will bo nominated and elected.
