j BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The writer again calls attention to the concert to be given for the Tuberculosis Hospital fund on Sunday afternoon, at three o'clock In the Murray Theater. All money after expenses are paid, xvill be turned over to the Wayne County Society for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The writer had arranged this concert for the second Sunday in January several months ago.

And concluded, after learning of the

We trust this is true. It sounds like a fairy tale, however. And also like conversation through a hat. Pierpont Morgan is an extraordinary person. And cannot be explained on an ordinary basis. Whatever may be the rule in his bank no one will deny it is an excellent one. But it would hardly be a safe dare. This is a curious world and "business" is not one of its least curious

badly needed institution

With one thousand dollars, the organization states, a hospital can be started. The admission fee of fifty cents and the limited capacity of the Murray will not enable the manager of the concert to turn over a large sum. But it will be a beginning. . The expenses will be minimized because of the fact that the two musicians who give the concert are, or will be, in this part of the country at that time and can stop off in Richmond for an afternoon without interference with other engagements. They have kindly consented to scale down their usual prices for a concert of this character on account of the charitable object. Since this is done by two persons not living in this city and who have no direct interest in the erection of a Hospital of this character in Wayne County, the public should, in turn, show its appreciation. The harpist, Madame Lawrence, w ho will appear, was the former harp soloist with the Theodore Thomas orchestra, and Mr. Shenk is a well known baritone singer. The concert, in short, will be sufficiently interesting in itself without consideration of the object for which it is given. Much interest has been manifested and a large audience will no doubt greet the two artists. ; The Society has been trying for the past four or five years to impress with A realization of the necessity of such an institution and is gratified that the Wayne County public is recognizing it.

; Eight hours is long enough for anybody to work. At least so announce the members

of a club in South Bend. :: And they are going to follow this up with a practical demonstration. ' Or make a try at the latter. In the shape of a bill to the Legislature to make the eight hour limit in Indiana obligatory. Whether or not this will apply merely to the business woman or to the .household slave is not said. ' Presumably in the business and trades. It will possibly meet with opposition. : Because anything that lightens labor and makes life easier for the rank

tentiary.

And any number of rascals careening merrily about. There was the case of Lorimer. Lorimer was a lovely husband. An ideal father. A director of Y. M. C. As. and a pillar of the sanctuary. And was really honest in all these facets to his character. But he mixed up with some peculiar transactions that could not be satisfactorily explained even to the United States Senate. And they are "some transactions" when the latter refuses to gloss 'em o'er. Masquerading behind "business is business" are some rattling social skeletons. And you'll find them mouthing and grimacing behind their fleshless lips on the fringes of the Legislature. And they'll be right there "with the goods" the green goods the long green goods when the eight hour bill for women in the industries and occupations is brought on the carpet.

It will hit a good many of them. But not nearly as hard as the latter will try to "make out." When a new condition is rammed down the public's throat, it gags a bit, swallows hard, tries to throw it up but finally forces it down. And when it's digested you never know the difference. Society easily adjusts itself to new conditions. It flounders round a while and then finds its footing. Eight hours is certainly long enough for anybody to work at anything. Abroad they often think so. At leaBt in certain phases of business life in England. They take things more leisurely. In instance an English girl came to

this country and secured a position as stenographer. "What time will you go in the morning '." was inquired. "Oh, about nine or half past," she said, The American inquirer smiled a sardonic smile. And the English girl was amazed to find that she had to be on deck at eight each morning. The English girl thought it barbarous. And it is. But in America whoop it up

. For the reason that it interferes with somebody's private interests. '. And private interests are always paramount. Conscience rarely comes into play when individual gain is within the grasp or even in sight. People will do the. most incredible things under the cloak of "business." "Business is business" Is a convenient slogan. And covers up a multitude of mean dealings. Perfsctly reputable citizens, those often denominated "good husbands and fathers," who pass the plate and contribute to charities, who neither smoke, drink or chew the filthy weed,

And leads to the sanitarium, the asylum, the water-cures and the surgeon's knife. But here's to the eight hour law for women. "How about the men?" growled the man at the next desk. "Put 'em on the chain gang and work 'em thirty-six hours a day," cried the other person fiendishly.
