m. DOMESTIC HELP PROBLEM. WOMEN'S EDUCATIONAL AND INDUSTRIAL UNION. OF BOSTON, SEEKING A SOLUTION OF THE QUESTION. A practical effort to solve the vexed servant and mistress problem Is being made by the Domestic Reform League of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union, of Boston.

It has sent out to clubs for wide distribution a circular letter asking co-operation and containing questions ur.cifT two heads "Can the Household Employe Be Made to Desire Training for Herself?" and "Is It Possible to Hire a Part of the Housework Done by Persons Living Outside the House?" Under the first of these heads the following statecents are ma.de One of the first remedies for domestic serrice situation that suggests itself is that of a training school where houseworkers may he trained to dc housework. This experiment has been tried In a number of and in the majority of cases it has been found that houseworkers themselves do not desire this training. The girls who come to a traintag school for houseworkers are. in general, very young or in some way deficient, and they are usually by charitably Inclined friends. These being the facts, the question naturally arises: What inducements can be offered houseworkers that shall be so strong as to cause them to come, voluntarily, to a training school for housework? It is with the hope that employers will have practical means to suggest that the following Questions are asked: "Provided competent trained service could be had, would you be willing to pay for it any more than you now pay for household service? Instead of giving a higher wage for trained service would you prefer to give certain such as shorter hours or definite free each day? "What Inducements would you suggest that fhould if.id household employes themselves to de- Fire training for the sake of its ultimate advantages?" Under the second head, regarding the hiring of service outside the house, the circular says: One way sometimes suggested to solve the domestic service problem la to have all or some of the household employes live out of the house and come by the hour or day.

Of course, such an arrangement could not be brought about suddenly: it roust come, if It comes at all, as a result of slow change and growth, and could only be perfected by adapting houses and methods of housework to meet the change. In its flnal development it would have to be accompanied by alterations in house plans, by a broader development of the possibilities of preparing food out of the bouse, and by a leu rigid adherence to customs and fixed lea within the household. It Is "hardly probable that at any time, so long as the JnclviduaJ home stands, the individual housekeeper could. In every Instance, hire all her household labor done by persons living outside her house. Particularly where there are small children in family it would probably be necessary to hir-' some one who should live In the house.

But Is It not possible that at least a portion of the work now done by employes living in the house might be don" well by persons corning in by the hour or day? Where several maids are kept, might it not be possible to do away with the sen-ices of one or two, provided their work could be supplemented by labor from outside? And in time might not the employer of the general housework girl find it simpler, with the help of outside labor, laundries and prepared food, to do away entirely with this generally Incompetent and irritating "Jack of all who Is master of none? In this case, might not the want of some one competent to "answer the bell" and relieve the housekeeper from the necessity of being tied down to her house at all hours, be by hiring some young and intelligent person example, some to come in for stated hours of the day do this task? Under the existing state of affairs the actual cost of labor hired from outside would be greater than Is the cost where employes live in the house. However, the present expense would be much decreased If there were a sufficient demand for the preparation of food nnd the washing of clothes outside the house to warrant their being done on larger scale than at present. Also, the apparent difference in cost of laborers living in the house or hired from outside Is greater than the actual difference; for the living expenses fl an employe In 'he hoii-o are generally ovf-rlocked, and the cos! of "wear and tear" for vhleh she is responsible Is commonly disregarded. Both living expenses and wear and tear would bo diminished, at least In part, or entirely eliminated In the case of an employe coming in by the hour. Even were the employe to come in by the day, living expenses would be reduced and wear and tear would he lessened, beciuse it is assumed that her work would he increasingly supplemented by outside agencies, such as laundries and prepared food.

Following this Is a series of exhaustive questions which embody nearly all the difficulties met In employing household help. A RAINBOW FAIR.

Le Barge. POLYGAMY AND LOYALTY. UTAH MISSIONARY TAKES EXCEPTION TO STATEMENTS MADE BY A DAUGHTER OP BRIGHAM YOVNG. To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: Mrs.

Susie Gates, in an article published In The Tribune on March greatly understates the number of Provo men who have lived In polygamy. may be due in part to the mental condition which causes her to believe in polygamy "as a theory" Which she admits. Again, she says that there never been more than about 4 per cent of the Mormon people actually living In polygamy. In this she is more honest than many Mormons, who try to bear the number down to 2 cent. The former would make the active polygamlsts about 10 per cent of the marriageable men and women, while the latter would make them about 5 per cent.

Both underestimate the number, but either Is perhaps as laxgd as the percentage of polygamists among the Turks at the present time, and would therefore give us a Turkish civilization in a few generations, which we propose to prevent by eecurlr.g an anti-polygamy amendment to the constitution of the United States. The charge of Mrs. Gates that Senator Evans's polygamy bill was a mere "bluff" does a gravo lnfustice to a sincere Mormon. Aside from that. It is very funny.

Imagine nearly two-thirds of the legislature, overwhelmingly Uoimon In hoth branches, joining with this Mormon Senator In stultifying themselves and their people before the whole world for the sake of helping him to carry out this little Then, to complete the picture, imagine the Governor of a great State like Utnh writing his veto message In tears and with a heavy heart, proclaiming to fill the world that it is the greatest trial of his official life to spoil the Evans by int.rvfr.lng with his veto to save, the name of his State arid the honor of hi? penile from the disgrace and shame so lightly thrust upon them, but that he is compelled to do so in order to ward off the proposed constitutional amendment! I share with Mrs. Gates the State prl'le which is due to the splendid courage and achievements of Utah Battery boys at Manila, and should have been glad to have let the glory which they have won on undimmed by the clouds of this polyga- DIOUS controversy; but since Mrs. Gates has fit to drag the matter in here and to use it in such 8 way a.s to leave the Impression that the record which those brave boys have made is a vindication of ilormonlsm, thus carrying the Idea thai the boys were all or nearly all Mormons, fidelity to truth Is me to say that nearly two-thirds of those boys are non-Mormons, and that they all fought not as Mormons or as non-Mormons, but as American soldiers in the face of country's foes One would, of course, naturally have expected that a Slate where Mormons claim from two-thirds to thiee-fourths of the entire population much more than one-third, aye. even more than one-half, of the enlisted men would hive been from Mormon ranks; but the fact that they were not Is probably in measure due to the speech made by Mrs. Oates's brother, Apostle nrlgham Young in the great Mormon Tabernacle on April 24 IS9S.

when the tires of patriotism were beiuH kindled in every loyal all over this land. In which Bpeech this worthy son of his distinguished polygamous sire the Mormon hoys not to go to the front, usliig the following language In part: "It Is wrong for us to think of sending our young men to Cuba to fight in tl. present conflict. The fact that they would go from lofty mountains into the malarial swamps of the South would make them much more liable to catch fevers and perish than volunteers from almost any other part of the country." I gay all honor to the brave boys who went to the front to do their duty in the hour of danger, whether Mormon or non-Mormon! Hurrah for It ih Battery boys! But God forgive no sacrilege which would make their splendid courage and their glorious record do service in the cause of polygamy, which if successful, would sink our civilization to the li-vH of those degraded people whom boys fought to liberate. Truly yours.

iooi. A HIGH BID FOR OFFICE. AJ? ACTRKSS OFFERS TO FLOAT THE PROFESSIONAL WOMAN'S LEAGUE CLUBHOUSE BONDS IF SHE IS MADE PRESIDENT. Already the struggle for the presidency of Professional Woman's League is well on. and a new development gives piquancy to the situation.

The movement in favor of Mrs. Edwin Arden seemed to be sweeping all other candidates to one side when suddenly an entirely un thought of claimant In the person of a well known actress, to whom the league pave a loving cup recently. Now. this actress has been only slightly identified with the club, having attended its meetings, say the members, perhaps three or four times at most. Why, then, the proposition to make her president? Thereby hangs the tale.

This new candidate hns made a higher bid for the office than any one else is likely to make. She promises to "float" all tha bonds required to secure the new clubhouse on which the league's heart Is set within a month after her election. Further, she hints that she intends having a theatre with stock company, and will form the company from the theatrical membership of the league if that all powerful element will support her in the struggle. To a largo number these seem good and sufficient reasons for promptly electing the ambitious candidate, but there still is a goodly proportion of the opinion that some qualifications whose possession the actress has not yet had an opportunity to demonstrate are necessary and are undeniably characteristic of Mrs. Arden.

In Mrs. Arden. her supporters feel, all the elements are combined that are needed to bring harmony into the club with its two warring factions, the "profession.il" and the "lay" members. Wuh the first she is closely affiliated through th" daughter of an wife of an actor, and, for several years wns on the stnpe. To the second she is allied hy her retirement some yeara aRO from professional life.

CRESTS CORRECTLY 1 A COLORED Americana who. In deference to the generally accepted custom, display a family crest of coat of anus upon their note paper or who desire nave armorial bearings executed for the embellishment of the walls of libraries or boudoirs would do well to either study uj the detail? of heraldic coloringH or enlial the services of one versed la such matters. While it is true lhat through American veina runs some 'of the best Btralns of blood from tha olden European nobility and gentry, yel it is also true that, from a general opposition heretofore to what was supposed to smack of aristocracy of birth, an accurate knowledge of heraldry not been cultivated. Hence main of the devices, and more especlallj the colorings, exhibited In the pretty reviewing fashion, have been to the trained expert laughable. The necessity scientific accuracy in these colorings was brought home to the writer when recently examining some of the exquisitely wrought armorial devices on stationery, executed by Theodora B.

Starr for some of their patrons. So beautifully was the cutting done that Inspection through a magnifying glass only developed Its perfection. Some were stamped in silver, some in gold, others in red all In one color. "They have not value as armorial bearings," announced an expert, "for thej have no colorings." A lntie further search revealed some coats of arms In all the glory of heraldic colorings. The firm, it was ascertained, command services of an expert whose scientific knowledge and re- Bearches enable him to not merely design the crests, shields and charges according to the of medlteval art, but to ascribe to each the propel "tincture" is the technical whereby is told much that would escape the casual examination.

THIEF CROKER ASKS CORPORATION TO TROCEED AGAINST PTBWAT CONSTRICTION COMPANY. Fire Chief Croker has requested Corporation Counsel Whalen to take immediate steps against the Rapid Transit Subway Construction Company for the purpose of making 1 repairs tn Fire Department underground property between Sixty-second-st.

and One-hundred-and-twenty-fifthst. in Rroadway. It seems that the blasting done by the tunnel workmen has seriously damaged many of the conduits carrying the wires of the Fire besides rendering the wires useless for fire alarm purposes. Nothing unusually serious has resulted as yet from the breaking of the Fire Department wires, but Chief Croker has given the. contractors formal notice that the city will hold them strictly responsible for any damage.

In view of the certainty that the contractors are going to rush their work as soon as the frnst is out of the ground, the officials took the precaution to protect the city's property.

Learned asked further for damages. Learned, who brought suit as the assignee of the inventions of A. E. Dolbear.

Mareoni'3 invention, he paid, by reason of faults In construction, was not fitted for commercial uses and Marconi had, therefore, made use of Dolbear's system. Mar in his reply, admitted that patents had been Issued to Dolbear. but said there had never been a practical demonstration of the commercial value of the inventions.

He denied having infrinpe.l on Dolbear's riehrs Dr. J. A. Ftemming. Pender professor of electrical engineering in the University College, London, and Charles R.

The Appellate Division of the Supreme Court yesterday handed down a decision affirming an order of Justice Fitzgerald In the case of the People ex rel. the H.

B. (Martin Company against the City Tax Commissioners. Justice Fitzgerald dismissed a writ of certiorari sued out by the Claflin company to review its assessment for taxation for the year 1599. The company had been originally assessed to the amount of but after a hearing, the amount was reduced to $1 .000.000. The company appealed to the Supreme Court to have the assessment still further reduced, asserting that the property taxable In this State amounted to only At Special Term the president of the company refused to testify regarding the business) of the company In New-Jersey, and the Justice accordingly dismissed the writ.

Justice Rumsey refers to the organization of corporation In another State as being evidently purely a formal matter, and he says that In order to find out the amount of capital actually Invested in this State It was essential to understand something of the company's affairs in New-Jersey. As to claim that this would be Inquisitorial, ha says that all tax inquiries are necessarily inquisitorial to a certain extent, an.l it had not been shown that there was any improper desire- to pry into p'ivate affair- in this then reviews of the figures in the case. In Ii nun the assets of the company were while the liabilities. capital, were given as J5.983.000. It appeared, however, that of the assets only were in New-York, while against this sum was to be charged about of liabilities.

The justice himself finds the figures confusing, after discussing them ir considerable detail, ha says: The commissioners might well question the accuracy of this statement, which upon Its face looks a little doubtful. That vas undoubtedly understood, by the relator's president, who explained it by saying that the result of tneir manner of doing business was that on the second Monday of January fully Jrt.imo.fjtio was twins to New-York firms, ana fully 1 0 could be- traced to purchases of merchandise in New-York and accounts and notes owed to New- York firms. Under all the circumstances. Justice Rumsey conchides that some Information as to the company's proceedings in New-Jersey was essential to an understanding: of the New- York business, and. on the figures that are testified to.
