What Is an Orphan ?Adecision has been rendered InWashington

City, D. c, by Justice of the Peace Scott ofparticular Interest and importance to membersof the Order of Odd Fellows. Tbe question atissue was what was meant by the term "or-phan" in the matter of lodge benefits payableby the lodges. The suit before Justice Scottwas one brought by Frances S. Roland against

James T. Petty and others, representatives ofEastern Lodge No. 7, I.O. O.F.. to recover$70 death benefits due her on tbe death of berfather, who was a member of the lodge.

Payment bad been refused her by tbe lodgeon the ground that she was not an orphanwithin the meaning of the word Insec ion 5.article 8, of tbe lodge's by-laws. Upon her ap-peal to the Grand Lodge of the District ofColumbia the decision oil Eastern Lodge No. 7was reversed and payment directed, whereuponthe loage appealed to the Sovereign GrandLodge of the United States, which reversed thedecision of the District Grand Lodge.

The District Grand Lodge held that the word"orphan," as used in the by-laws, means verynearly the same as "children," whether minorsor not, whether dependent or not, and thatEastern Lodge No. 7 was under obligations toDay the benefit upon proof that Frances Rolandwas the orphan daughter of the deceased mem-ber. The Sovereign Grand Lodge, on the otberhand, maintained that the child must be aminor or dependent.

Justice Scott decided In favor of Miss Ro-land, basing bis decision upon a fact which wasnot before 1tie Sovereign Grand Lodge, namely,that the fatb -r was dependent upon the claim-ant during the latter years of bis life,and thatsue urged him to remain with her when hewent to tlie home provided by the Odd Fellows.Itis understood tbat the lodge willappeal

from Justice Scott's decislou.

The new law permitting unmarried youngladles who may not be relatives of Odd Fel-lows, to join Kebekah lodges, has createdwidespread discussion, but Golden StateKebekah Lodge No. 110 of Modesto evi-dently likes the new law, .and last weeksix young ladies were received under saidlaw. Formerly only ladles who were rela-tives of members of the order could be re-ceived, but the last Sovereign Grand Lodgetook the ground that Itwould be for the spreadof the fraternity and for lis benefit to admitany unmarried young lady over 18 years of age.Inmany sec. ions the law meets h any approval.In others the reverse. The main objectionseems to be thai the question had never beendiscussed by the grand jurisdlctlons, but was.introduced and passed without the considera-tion given to measures generally.' The. weightofopinion throughout the national jurisdictionis In favor of the new law, a stroug argumentbeing that It willenable many localities now tosustain a lodge where, If the membership wasiobe confined to relatives of members ouly,

California for two or three years has been anapplicant for relief before tbe Supreme Lodgeboard, which meets in January, owing to thefact thai tbe deaths in this jurisdiction havecalled for more money than Its maximum as-sessment of thirty would pay, but thirty paidall deaths in 1894, and consequently Californiawillhave no claim this year, aud with a mostunusually small death rate for the Januarycall, 1895 opens auspiciously for this order.

Tb'se officials are callingupon a numberof the subordinates in tbe south.• Tens of thousands of new officials will be In-stalled into positions ln the next two weeks.The fact tbat there can be .found this host ofour citizens who are willingfreely and withoutpecuniary reward to discharge the onerousduties wbich the offices Involve, and to un-selfishly give their time, talents and servicesfor the purposes of practical benevolence andcharity, for which the fraternities are founded,sneaks well for the age in wbich we live. Tbemillions of dollars annually expended are muchand of untold assistance but in intrinsic worthto (be heart and miud they cannot comparewith the labors so neely given by this armywho serve in the chair-- of the fraternities, uponIts practical committees and Inpersonally car-rying out tbe principles of their orders. Didspace permit it would be a pleasure to give infullthe names of the newly installed officials,but they would make a mighty book of them-selves, and it is only possible to give names Incase of new subordinates.

Acorrespondent writes that but little Is seenInthe Fraternal Index about his order. Ihatis the fault ot the officials of said order or itsmembers. -All legitimate fraternal societies,large or small, are equally welcome to this de-partment with their news of progress anditems.

FEMALE OPERATORS.Some of Them Are the Equal ofMen

at the Telegraph Key.Women were first employed as telegraph

operators in Chicago in 1869. Now the largerof the two companies doing business in tbatcity employs 130 of tbe sex, the best being paid$I*o aud the lowest $40 a mouth. They aresoon all to be required to learn to typewrite themessages they receive. -*"'.'\u25a0

"How do tbe women feel about the change ?Have they fail that they can master the dualknack of the sounder and the keyboard?"

"Oh, yes, there are but few exceptions tothose wbo welcome the change, and yet thereIs no little discontent expressed that the type-writers are to be bought by the operators them-selves rather than by the company. Itwillbesomething of an expense, but 1think the gainwillspeedily efface the memory of their tran-sient lo9s.'V"**S_3SHWfß

The officehours of the women correspond tothose of the men employes. Each operator re-ports for duty promptly at 8 a. _i., is given ahalf-hour for luncu aud snaps her key for finalgood-night at 6:30 p. si. A lunchroom and sit-ting-room, both in charge of an experiencedmatron, are provided, and the menu of the for-mer Is equal to the best in the city, at priceswhich are ln accord with the scantiest menu.The lowest salary received by women operatorsin the employ ot this company is $40, but themajority receive more. The duties of an oper-ator are tiresome In the extreme, althoughihere Is a certain amount of fascination aboutthe work that keeps the weariest operatoralways Interested.

One young woman was pointed out whoserecord shows the sending of 2000 words at atime on press report, with 150 messages a daythrown Inas an aside. .another young womanhas already sent 500 messages In the one day.and looked bright enough to send as manymore. The Cleveland wire, one of the heaviestIn the office, Is worked regularly by twowomen. Miss Summerl has haa charge of thiswire constantly for over three years, duringwhich time the onposlteeud of the circuit hasbeen worked by the company's fastest and bestmen, thereby establishing the young woman'sright to be placed In the very front ranks ofher profession.

Miss McCracken was Miss Summer's mateon the wire during the World's Fair period,when

'the average number of messages sent

and received was from 800 to 1000 per day.This great mass nf business was handled byboth of these women in a way to reflect thehl-hest credit on their ability. Miss ElaGriffith bas everything her own way on the

Baltimore wire, and Isacknowledged all alongtbe current to be "firstclass" both from a per-sonal and business standpoint. One of theheaviest Philadelphia wires is worked by Mrs.M. G. Miles and Miss Kittle Keller, both ofwhom claim a place in the front rauit ofexperttelegraphers.

Mrs.' Annie Hutchinson, on the Washingtonwire, with her associae. Miss Meyercordt, de-serves special mention for the reason that overtheir circuit long Government messages, fre-quently incipher, or a perfectly, unintelligiblecode, are sent and handled without the leastdifficulty. -.".'.;-

Miss Kate Stack Is in charge of the NewYork branches, and so great Is her proficiencythat her calm and equable manner of turningoff business would deceive the onlooker Intothe belief that the really difficult task was alight,and easy one. On the way wire, where Ifever-endless patience, quick discernment andChristian calm are necessary, experience hasdemonstrate** the fact tbat women operatorsexcel. Without almost an exception thewomen here employed have proved theirabundant fitness to rank shoulder to shoulderwith the advance guard of the best In

chiefs are Kind, the officers who stand back ofthem are Inthe main considerate and generous,and we would be foolish, indeed, to pick outlittle causes of complaint in times when bothmen aud women should be glad enough to getbaif-loaves and even crumbs." . . „,-

AS A DISHWASHER

The Role That AppelmanPlayed

ON JULY THE ELEVENTH.———————According to the Testimony of

Mrs. .Stokes.

BUT SHE GOT BADLY RATTLEB.

Several Other Witnesses Also Testifyto Defendant's Presence in

Sacramento.

Woodland, Dec. 29.— The people herewho have been watching the proceed-ings iv tbe trials of the strikers are be-coming amazed at the contradictory char-acter of the testimony, and there is a verystrong desire upon the part of tbe taxpay-

ers that the crime ot perjury snail befastened upon whoever is guilty, and thattney sball be punished to the extent of thelaw.

Tbe defense atttacked the character ofRobert Kadcliff.an important witness fortbe prosecution, and three witnesses fromShasta County testified that bis reputationfor truth, honesty and integrity were bad.These witnesses were A. W. Hubbard,George Henderson and J. A.Massle.

W. T. Soule and J. N. Kisner of Brod-erick also attacked tbe reputation ofWitness Cropper.

Mrs. J. Stokes of Sacramento furnishedthe sensation of the day- Sbe was a verywilling witness, ant] got along nicely dur-ing the direct examination; but under ahot cross fire from Mr. Clark she becameconfused, and finally broke down and be-gan to cry. She complained of being sub-ject to hysteria. She was temporarily ex-cused, and when afterward recalled askedto bare part of her testimony stricken out.as sbe bad given itunder great excitementand made some errors. Tbe court de-clined to strike out any 'testimony, buttold the witness sbe would be allowed tomake any correction sbe deemed neces-sary. Sbe testified that on the 11th ofJuly last she went to tbe A. ILU. restau-rant and was engaged all tbe afternoon.Witness lefther house at a quarter after1, and arrived at tbe restaurant about halfpast 1. Some lady acted for her in arrang-inga lot of Dies for the table, and a manvolunteered to help. The same man wasengaged afterward for twenty or thirty

minutes helping her wash dishes. Sbedid not know the man's name at the time,but beard him called "Tex," and she posi-tively identified bim as the defendant.Witness said Appelman wore a dark bluehat when be was at the restaurant, andthat his face was smooth, and she noticedthe scar on his face.

Mrs. Jennie Pincomb was called to tbestand. She resides in Sacramento and herhusband is a carpenter. Sbe testified thatshe spent the litb of July at tbe house ofMrs. Matheny. About 11:30 o'clock shosaw the defendant there eating his dinner.

Mrs. Alice Bailey testified tbat she hasresided in Sacramento since March 8 ofthis year, and on the nth of July she wasengaged in the A.R. U. kitchen between12and 1o'clock. Sbe saw the defendantthere. She asked for help and be volun-teered bis services. Witness fixed tbe dayfrom tbe fact tbat it was the only one onwhich they had pie. Sbe saw the traingo out, and she saw Appelman after thetrain went out. He bad a smooth face,wore a blue-black ha/, but no coat.

On cross-examination the witness deniedthat sbe volunteered her testimony. Whenshe first went to Sacramento she askedBen True to get ber a place. She formerlykept a roadside inn in Colorado, and whilethere was paid by detectives who werebunting cattle thieves. She was paid towatch brands, but had done no detectivework in Sacramento. She had never seendefendant before sbe met him in the res-taurant, but could not be mistaken in hisidentification. She heard him called "Tex-as" in tbe restaurant.
