AN ARMY OF WOMEN I

Uncle Sam Employes About Eighty Thousand In Postoffices.

THEIR WORK SATISFACTORY.

lleport Furnished by the Postal Department to the German Government—Sena­

tor Lindsay Thinks the Country Still

Wants the Currency Reformed—Armor

Plate Factory. fe:

WASHINGTON, NOV. 24.—The postof fice department has transmitted to the postal administration of the German government a comprehensive report on the employment of women in the government service. It is stated that there 71,022 postoffices in the United States, at eacli of which there are several employes, who lawfully may be cither men or women. Postmasters at third and fourth class offices select their own employes without consulting the department, and ic is accordingly impossible to give the exact number ol' women employed in the postal service. There are, however, 7,070 women postmasters and perhaps 80,000 women to whom the oath of oflice has been administered to qualify them toassist in conducting the business of the postoflice. There are 1(17 women employed in the postoflice department proper.

Vfomon, the report says, are employed in .all branches of the postal service except as lettercarries, clerks in the railway mail service and postoflice inspectors. They are not debarred by rule or regulation from entering any branch of the servicq. Iu fact there are postoftiees in the United States at which there arc none but women employed. The same salary is paid them as to men for the same character of work. In the postoffice department salaries now paid to women vary from §240 to Si,S00 per annum, according to service performed, though there is no rale preventing them from receiving more than that, and as postmasters or assistants they sometimes received much larger salaries.

Some of the most faithful and efficient employes in the postal service are women. Continuing, the report says it is seldom that duties devolve on any clerk or officer which cannot be properly performed by women.

The conclusion of the department is that, altogether, tlio services of women have proven almost, if not equally, satisfactory with those of men. The report is based on a request of the German government as to what had been the general experience of the government with women employes.

SKNATOl! I.IXDSKV.

He Ihniks the Country Still Wants the Currency Keformcd.

Asnixcrrox. Nov. 2-!.— Senator Lindsey, of Kentucky, one of the throe Gold Democrats in the senate, when asked what policy the Democratic gold senators would pursue in currency legislation at the approaching session, replied:

1

"We have had no conference among ourselves and therefore have not agreed upon any policy. If the Republicans have any policy as to a line of action I have not been informed what it is. Hence, I am not in a position to answer your question, I may say, however, that I think the country stiil wants the currency reformed. If they had given us a .different tariff" law, the task of securing the necessary reform would have been a comparatively easy one, for if the country's revenues were equal to its expenditures, it would not be so difficult to secure tin agreement to repeal the clause of the act of 1878 requiring greenbacks when presented to the treasury to bereissued, and that is till the legislation that would be necessary.'"

WASHINCTON, Nov. 24.—Mrs. MeKinley and a party of ladies, and Secretary Long and family heard the concert given by the Hastreiter Concert company at the Columbia theater yesterday afternoon.

Joseph E. Blanther Confesses the Murder of Blanche Lamont.

MORGAN, Tex., Nov. 24.—Joseph E. Blanther, who was wanted in California for the murder of Mrs. Langfeldfc, committed suicide in the Meridian jail March 2 last, after confessing to the crime. Iu the jail with him was a farmer named Pitts, and the night on which Blanther killed himself he asked Pitts which coat was his hanging on the wall among a number of others. The coat was pointed out to him and Pitts thought no more of it till the other day. When examining some papers taken from its pockets he came across a remarkable confession from the dead murderer. He forwarded the same to Attorneys Word, Dillar & Word, asking them to make the best use possible of it. It is as follows:

Y.I:I:IPIAN JAIL.

To Mr. Pitts: As this is my lust day on earth. I wish to say that I cannot die without telling a truth. 1 murdered .Mrs. Langfeldt, also Blanch l.amout and Minnie Williams. I put tliis in yoar coat pocket- and hope you will 11 ml it in time to save the life of liurrant. It may also be of service to Mr. WoliiacU in getting his reward money. I want you to have my watch for your kindness to me. Von have mv best wishes and I hope your troubles will end. but not as mine. BI-ASTIIKI: Fonines.

The letter written by Blanther was compared with a letter written by him to County Treasurer Handle while ho (Blanther) was teaching school at Kopperl. this county and the identification is pronounced to be beyond doubt. Cashier Rudasill of the First National Bank of Meridian says it compares favorably with Blanther'.s handwriting. Word, Dillard and Word will at once notify the San Francisco oflicials of the startling confession. Blantlier's alias Forbes.

No Credence Placed lit Hie Confession.

SAN FKANCISCO, Nov. 24.—No credence is placed by the authorities here in the alleged confession of Blanther, made in the Meridian (Tex.) jail, that he murdered Blanch Lamont and Minnie Williams. It is recalled, however, that at the time of the killing of Mrs. Langfeldt the suggestion wasTidvaneod that Blanther had murdered all three, it being claimed that there were certain points of similarity in the three murders. The alleged confession of Blanther will probably prove a werful weapon of defense in the hands of Durrani's attorneys. Durrant had been iu jail a year when Mrs. Langfeldt was murdered.
