School in Chicago Instructs Working Oirla How to Out Employer! So cially, Freeie Handtonu Floorwalk ers and Treat Oondacvora and Ele Tator Men. Chicago, Aug. 9. How to protect -lie innocent working girl from the lure of man baa appealed so strongly to Mrs. T. Vernette Morse that she is "conducting a school in tlie McClnrg Building. Twelve graduates are putting into practice Hie theories of Mrs. Mores regarding Hie best way for a small paid girl to handle her opulent em ployer. They haven 't been at it long, however, so it is too early to say whether the newly discovered branch of education is practical. Until the period has passed when divorce, breach of promise suits and marriages may reasonably be suppos ed to 'have 'had time to generate, sta tistics will be futile. In tbe mean time, here is what those twelve girls have been taught and what others are striving to learn: How to treat a street car conductor. How to treat an elevator starter. How to act in tbe presence of a handsome Hoor walker. How to cut an employer socially without losing one's job. How to demean oneself toward a man so lacking of understanding as to advertise for a "bright girl." Here are the answers of Mrs. Morse in the form in which she con veys them to her pupils. "A girl is not called on to speak to a street car conductor at any time unless it is to call his attention to a mistake in change or to ask him for a transfer. Either of these things can be done in a few words and in a ladylike, digniiied way that will pre clude any reply on the part of the conductor. " 'Good morning' is all that a girl ever need say to an elevator starter. Only one other thing I almost for got to aay that she also may aay 'Good evening.' Aa for Ahe elevator . hoy,ih' o umber of her floor ia anoogh, Too many elevator boys 'assume the airs of the navigators of battleships. "Our class in the freeiing of band some floor walkers is our pride. The operation is delicate and! not easily mastered. But by the raising or low ering an eyelash a floor walker may be frapped in his tracks, because lie i& afraid of being reported to his supe riors. There should be no accepting or giving of invitations betweeu a girl and her employer. Only this hard and fast rule will prevent episodes which ofUu have blighted lives in the Loop, (The Loop is tbe name of the business distrist of Chicago.) All penunaliiies and social considerations i'houl I be eliminated. If a gentleman must caH on a lady, let him eall at her home, and not at her plaoe of buHMiertS. "The shop girl's apparel should be simple, but artistic. An artistic gown is always a simple gown. It always b is good in line and barmoniuos in eol-v-or that 'sort of gown, however,' that 'v never will,, attract attention on the street. ' ; ; . ," But, after all, the point mora than anything else to be considered ia the .-. fact of s young girl leaving her horns I ", for tbe rust time to take op a. busi- . nesa career. If she understands, she r will be safe; but few understand. First, aha has to differentiate between the home and business life.: Mrs. f Ella Flagg Young, Superintendent of Schools, ia living example of what ' a girl can do if she starts out right. - Properly, . a girl should be : just as safe down town aa at home. ' Z '- "As for the oft-used term 'bright S, girl? ' I don't know wbat it means. More ' than once I bars seen advertisements for "bright young girls.' a Do . they mean bright mentally, mathematically " or in personal appearance T I have ' asked many persons who nsed the a- term and I have yet to receive clear . deflnintion of 'bright girt."

JV LAST DAY OF 00NCEET. Delightful Musical Entertainments Will Be Discontinued After Today -Piano Sals Will Continue for Several Days. Coneordians have had a rare treat for the past week at the Bell ft Har ris Furniture Store, where the Sebuls pianos are on exhibition and where a delightful musical entertainment bad been reudered every day from 5 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Tbe music is directed by Prof. Mensel, who is a violinist of rare attainments and a musician versed in all parts of the arts of the musical world. His corps of as sistants have been amply applauded for the part .they have taken in the concerts, and will probably play the last time this afternoon. Great crowds have been going to this well known establishment this week, particular ly, and have enjoyed to the fullest tli music. Mr. Mensel will semain in the city for several days, having decided to continue the sale, but there will be no further concerts. To the OttUens of Concord. On the 30th of December, 1881, the ('ouiHil of the Lutheran church of Concord conveyed to seven persons, of whom the undersigned are survi vors, and their Miceessors in office forever, as trustees of the Union School in Concord, for tbe purpose, as expressed in the deed, "to be used solely for the purpose of a Non-Sectarian Protestant School for white children," the old St. James Luth eran church lot located on East Cor biti street, and containing 1 7-6 acres. The trustees of the school have never had any source of revenue or income, in consequence of which the building on the lot has become dilapidated and wholly unfit for school purposes, and to the end main taining a high school in Concord, in which all citizens should take an in terest and pride, it Is necessary to erect a new and suitable school honse, to cost not less than $1800; to raise which sum the trustees, who bold only tbe naked legal title to the property, and are not personally or individual ly interested in the subject matter of this appeal other than, that of build ing np and maintaining a first class high school in the city, are dependent npon the free and voluntary contribu tions of the citizens, we, therefore, not only solicit contributions but earnestly request every eitisen to kuhscrib what ever sum he can to this worthy and laudable enterprise, paying his sub scription to Messrs. D. B. Coltrane, ft B. Wagoner and H. I. Woodhoitse, roe committee appointed by the trus tees to receive and disburse the tame. " v J. M. ALEXANDER. ' v' ' C. B. WHITE. f ' D. ft. HOOVER. v p.

Today's session of the Breese-Dickerson bank trial was enlivened by a passage at arms between District Attorney Hol- ton auw the Hon. Locke Craig, late Democratic nominee for the governor ship of this State. Mr. Craig objected to the attempted wirhdrawel of a question put to a witness by Mr. llol- tou several days ago, charging the district attorney with ai tempting to take an undue advantage of tlie de fense. He declared that the district attorney should be willing to stand or fall by a question while the witness is on the stand. Contrary to expectation the Govern ment did not rest its case today, tbe cross-examination of S. T. Dorset, former teller of tbe failed bank, tak ing up the entire da. The defease brought out facts teethe effect that for a year or more before the bank tailed, Mr. J. C.

Bell cot tage on South Union street, had quite a thrilling and exciting experience with her little French poodle dog. She had been up town and the little dog had followed her. On leturning home she noticed that 'he little fellow was extremely hot and was behaving rather suspiciously, and before she could get the dog ont of the bouse, it made a savage stack on her and. had to be beaten off with a chair. In its rav ings, the animal snapped and bit at everything in sight, but Mrs. Runion and the small colored servant girl kept the dog from biting them by running and fighting it. The little fellow jumped through the kitchen window and as it fell in the ground below it-was thrown into a fit. Before anyone could get to the dog to kill it it began to run and escaped. It was zone for about five hours, -when it was seen or the premises of Mr. Paul Krimminger, where it was shot to death. The little dog was a beautiful creature, and was kept almost spot lessly white. All the little children in the neighborhood had learned of the pet and were very much attached to it. Kept Tab on Antoists. Charlotte, N. C, Aug. 10.

Written for Piedmont Industries by W. T. Corwith, Secretary Greater Charlotte (N. C.) Club. Every mui icipality no matter how small may be benefitted by a well di rected organization of its business men working together with the one object of advancing in general the growth of the city. The success in any undertaking of a public character depends largely upon the care given by those promoting it, to the system of organization best adopted to the case in hand. This is an age when constructive or ganization has become a very potent factor in the business affairs of the country. The operation of our great railroad systemes is made possible only through the completeness in de tail of the organization which per vades every ramification of their elab orate construction. Tjhe mammoth holdings of the great corporations of the country and the vat amount of goods manufactured and distributed at a profit eaoh year is due to effect ive organization. Religious bodies, political parties, military forces and industrial bodies do their most suc cessful work under careful and com plete organization. In fact organiza tion has taken a prominent place in influencing all of the great movements in the history of tlie world. The for nalioii of an ordinary roiimiej-cial or ganization does not require the con sideration uf suah huge intricate prop isitions as those mentioned above, further than would necessary to draw the suggestion, that just as preat care diould be taken in handling the out line of it, as might be advisable in ne of thesp great concerns which are known to the whole country. The advantages of well directed or ganized effort to the business men of i municipality are manifold, and wc have many striking examples of what a live commercial organization will do for a city. Truly the time has come when no city can afford to be withrout a well established -organization of its businet-.s men looking after its best interests. A first consideration in perfecting an organization is to have a definite object, none will endure unless it has for its foundation sound principles and a centralized purpose. It must be based upon something positive and tangiable around which all the forces may gather and work in harmony with energy and enthusiasm. - A commercial organization having as its object the ad vanceuicnl, the building up, the development along commercial lines of a certain city, nust, if it is to pro 'per and effectively accomplish its object, draw into its fold a large pmporliou of men in the city, all of whom must work together with all the earnest determination they can conynand. Each member must have faith in his home city and be ready to give voice to his senti ments on all opportune occasions. Harmony must prevail, a willing ness to work must exist and if it does not exist it must be generated. If the right energy is exhibited, it will make tbe organization a live active body with internal conditions such as to make every member proud to know and to feel, that he is a member of it, and success will be assured. In a commercial organization every thing depends on the members and care should be taken to see that all in ternal conditions are as thev should be. With conditions right inside the organization, tbe outside matters are comparatively ea9y and will be cared for as a natural sequence. For a live (Continued on Second.
