"When n man comes itihoro with n GO-
ficnt job , " wild the pretty typewriter to
iv Now York Hornlil reporter , "and be
gins business with some remark about
my pretty eyes I charge him 75 cents. "
, She gave a vicious dab at the key
board and tossed her head toward the
door through which her Into customer
had just departed , llcr eyes wore un
deniably bright and darkly beautiful ;
her hair a dead brown so dark It was
almost black and BO flno it fcccincd an
orderly mass of cobweb.
"No wonder a woman In business for
herself doesn't ' care to marry , " she con
tinued. ' 'Men are such foolsl Now
there's a man who never saw mo before
a man who appears to bo a gentleman
who comes in my ofllco a public ofllco
right before my assistants and talks
about my hair and eyes ! Resent It ?
No ; what's the use ? I've ' grown callous.
It used to make mo angry ; now I take
their work iinci compliments and laugh
at them. But supposing that man would
go into the olllco of a male stenographer
and sit down and say : 'How bright and
fresh you look this morning ! I have a
small job hereof you can do It right
nway. Now. please don't look cross be
cause there Isn't more money in it. By
the by , excuse me , but did anybody over
toll you what lovely eyes you have ?
What ! The last fool who was in hero
Bald BO ? Isn't 75 cents pretty steep for
BUeh a letter ? Good morning ! '
"Now that is exactly what I had a mo
ment ago only more of It. Because I'm
a woman I must go through the world
treated like a fool and meekly accepting
the position ! No , I'm not particularly
sensitive about it I. get fun out of it oc
casionally at the expense of my tor
mentors. But think of the interference
with business ! " she added , with such n
matter of fact naivoto that I laughed
more than the occasion would seem to
warrant.
This young lady Is one of three sisters ,
nil stenographers and typewriters and
all engaged in independent business for
themselves. They have three * offices ,
employ about a do/en girls and live to-
gctncp. They do all kinds of work
legal , literary , dramatic , French , Spana
lull , etc. They conduct their business
as a partnership , share and share alike ,
and transact an enormous amount of it.
They furnish stenographers by the week ,
day , hour or job clay or evening. One
of the sisters is the most 'expert and
rapid typewriter I ever saw. In fact.
Until 1 saw hoi ; I would have been loath
to believe that the manipulation of the
machine could bo brought to such a
high state of perfection. .
An Army of Typewriters.
From information obtained of the dif
ferent typewriting machine firms it is
estimated that about 18,000 , persons are
employed as operators of machines in
Now York city alone. From 23,000 to ,
o,000 machines are out of this city. Of
these several thousand are necessarily
idle all of the time. It is probable , how-
pvor , that at least 18,000 machines are in
active use.
Think of this army of operators going
to work every day at the keyboard , if
you would bo reminded of the vast vol
ume of business transacted in the offices
of the metropolis.
Two-thirds of this army arc women.
The extraordinary influx of women in all
the avenues of commercial life of recent
years is particularly marked in' this
calling. The fact is owing to the sur
plus of educated women thrown upon
their own resources and to the peculiar
adaptability of women as amanuenses.
Women learn stenography and the |
manipulation of the machine quicker
hnd are more tractable as office assistants - '
ants than men. They can ufTord to work
for less money than men. In working
lor loss money than men they are fatlll
able to make more money in proportion
to the labor performed than they could .
pot In other walks of life open to them.
A cosy office and a typewriting machine
arc more congenial to the fonuilo mind
than a kitchen , the factory , the counter
or oven teaching. And there is more
money in it than in any of these other
employments. There is room for steady
advancement for the ambitious and
capable woman. There are women in
Now York getting from $20 to $23 and
130 , and oven as high as $40 a week as
stenographers and typewriters. They
ftro worth it , too.
Of course , when wo get above $2o a
week the number grows rapidly smaller ,
but they do make more in several in-
Htnncos. Toll mo , if you please , in what
other line of business women can obtain
higher salaries. I huvo noticed that in any
calling whore a woman becomes espec
ially export the question of sex disappears
Und she commands for her services what
ever a mail would got under the same
circumstances. If BOX lias anything utall
to do with it , the difference is to her ad
vantage. The great drawback to the ad
vancement of women in this line tluf
labor , as it is in other fields , is incom-
wotoncy. Few women euro to oxcol.
Most women look upon this employment
us but temporary , and do not consider it
worth while to do any better than is
accessary to make a living. This IK the
thlof dilleronco botwcon men and women
is stenographers. And this difference
Ihows in the respective salaries paid.
Efficient male stenographers got from
HG to $25 per week. First class male
, Monographers got from $1,500 to $1,800
Mid up to $2,500 per year. The average
falury paid male stenographers in New
York is 514 * per week.
Skill Well Itemuncrntctl.
The average salary paid fomulo stonog
raphors hero Is 811 per week. A larg
and compoUnt class of women get from
115 to $18 per week. This class would
pot bo able to take testimony in court or
report speeches verbatim , but they are
efficient for office work. Many of thorn >
combine a technical knowledge of the
business ofotholr employers with their
cervices as amunuoiibos , Skill in the
preparation of legal forms , preparing
specification * } for architects or speclu
Ability in literary or medlca ;
nomenclature ' or something else ill
render' the woman more or less li
able in addition to her stenographic ft ,
Those of them who earn $25 to $30 per
week are usually valuable for such quali ,
ties. Any woman intelligent enough ,11to
eorvo in any particular line of business
as a stenographer and who is handling
letters concerning the detail ) ) of tha
business every day ought to bo able toed
* inastcr the whole thing within a limited
iinio. It Is alone the feeling of indllTer-
f nee and the euiiposcd temporary char
acter of the worlt that prevents. If the
houo and expectation of finding some
body to maintain her without labor > ro
Completely abandoned there woujd be
to prevent a woman getting as
CTood n salary as n man , everything olfo
being equal. As it IB , and probably
over will bo , the great majority of these
12,000 women who work in "tho Now
York offices got but from $7 to $10 per
week.
Counting those In Jersey City and
Brooklyn thnru are twenty-seven ;
schools , turning out about 1,000 steno
graphic and typewriting students upon
the public every year. The women who
merely operate the machine and make
no pretensions to the stenographic art
are so few that they are scarcely worth (
mentioning. They are nulto ns scarce
M good stenographers. The latter are
of necessity compelled to combine typewriting -
writing with shorthand. These are
often so expert with the machine that
for ordinary business correspondence
they take dictation directly on the machine -
chine without resorting to stenography.
The dealers in typewriting machines
constitute themselves agents for the
placing of applicants for positions , keep
ing a register of those who use their
machines. Those who apply to thorn
are examined as to fitness and graded as
to salary they are able to earn and what
they want. A slnglo linn placed 400
beginners during the past year. At the
same time this firm registered 1,001) )
applicants , 033 of whom were males. Of
the whole number applying 1,387 , were
furnished permanent positions. Tem
porary places were obtained for 1,2CO.
These figures Indicate that many of the
applicants came back again and again ,
either because they were unsatisfactory
to the employers or because they were
dissatisfied with their places.
I am told that out of the whole twenty-
seven schools there are but three whoso
graduated pupils can bo accepted with
any assurance of being what they pro
tend to bo. These three will not take
pupils in stenography unless they can
first pass a satisfactory examination in
general information , the construction of.
the English language and spelling. Of
course some of this kind of pupils get
into tha other schools and come out all
right. They como out all right oven
when they buy text b6oks and teach
themselves.
The 12,000 women of Now York who
spread themselves over the city every
morning save on holidays and Sundays
are driven by necessity to earning their
own living. "They comprise as great a
variety of the sex as can bo found Jn any
walk of life. As a class they are
good , intelligent , industrious and fairly
well educated. In many cases they are
cultured and refined ladles who were
born to bettor things. The instances
whore they are not quito as good as they
might be are not more numerous in pro
portion to the whole number than
among nn equal number of women in
other walks "of business life. There urea
a good many silly young women from
the stenographic schools who regard
the business as a sort of a picnic a
romantic road to matrimony.
\Vuj' and ilublU.
"There are young women , " said an
agent , "who will never stay in a situa
tion ! long unless they think there is an
opening there for a matrimonial connec
tion. They sail around from place to
place on the lookout for a wealthy
'mash. ' And first rate marriages have
been contracted between lady stenog
raphers and their employers , or some
body with whom the amanuensis comes
in control fn the course of business. I
am bound to.say , however , these matrimonial
menial apples do not fall often and
never to my knowledge into the lap of
this 'silly billy' sort/of a girl. "
Ond of the most fruitful sources of
friction between the female stenographer
qnd her employer is the apparent inabil
ity of many women to separate their
personality from their business. If the
bosiTgots "rattled" and speaks sharply
it is received in the light of a personal
iusul't. The man of big affairs has no
time to waste upon preliminaries and is
" frequently abrupt of speech. Some
"women never gel accustomed to this
and some get right up and go and hunt
another job. They nro looking for
somebody who will treat them as if they
were the "lady of the nouse. " As most
business men have to meet'that ' kind of a
woman as soon as they get homo it is
very uatut ally likely to pall upon the
tusto.
Any observant visitor to the lower
town can 'see hundreds of female typewriters -
writers rushing uround'about the lunch
hour and a glance Into any of the cheap
dining rooms of Fulton street or neat
subcellars 'of Broad or Nassau , between
12 and 1 o'clock , will disclose them by
scores. Most of them bring luncheon
to the office , but even these gladly seize
upon that half an hour's liberty to
take the air and indulge in gossip with
some-friend. You can see these young
ladies with their arms around each
other , sauntering along lower Broadway
in the crowd , just as. school girls are
seen walking about the grounds of a
female academy. They are as much at
home beneath the shadows of Trinity
and amid the rush of that financial cul-
dc-pac of Wjill street and the roar of
Broadway as if they were gathering
autumn leaves in a back yard or moon
ing their.llttlo secrets among the vino-
chid mounds of some silent cemetery.
These are the younger sort , the romance
of whoso lives Is not yet of the past.
They are not adverse to the observation
of good looking young men , though as a
rule tholr constant contact with the op
posite sex in business life has made them
IndllVercnt , If not cynical , on this head.
The Hotter .Sort.
But there are women down her o to
whom life is a more borious thing. They
are the support of children and brothers
and sibters and aged parents and invalid
husbands women of culture and social
refinementwho would nomoro bo caught
loafing on Broadway and amusing them
selves among the crowd than they would
bo caught stealing. They carry with
them everywhere the gentle dignity of
pure womanhood and their faces bear
the soulf ulness of intellectual life. Thcco
are the women who are notunfrcquontly
lifted from the position of amanuensis to
dictator of. the domestic fortunes of
their former employer. But whether
they reach that social elevation or not ,
no title an employer could confer would
add to tholr real worth. Wherever
they are employed they bring with thorn
an unmistakable air of refinement , and
all who are brought witliin the range of
business contact with them are Imper
ceptibly drawn under tholr gentle in ?
lluenco. There are inner business of
fices in New York that are moro like
drawing rooms than like the generally
accepted place for the transaction of
business. The quiet supremacy of
feniinlno taste and culture permeates
every department of the office. It Is not
only visible In the boudoirliko sanctum ,
but it Is to bo felt in the politeness of the
low voiced clerks , and oven noted in the
demeanor of tha customers around the
outside ticker ,
There is no escape from the conclusion
that whatever the typewriting machine
has done for women and it has unques
tionably done much It has practically
revolutionized the general conduct of
business and materially improved the
conduct of men.
In a certain Oregon flslicanulng establish
ment there was recently a superintendent ,
who may bo called Smith , whoso loud pro
fessions of religion were not exactly In ac
cordance with Ins life. Two citizens pf the
town were talldtlc of him 0110 day , and one
of them remarked : ' -Well , anyhow , It must
bo-admlttcd that Smith has been successful
hi canning. " "Maybe , " .retorted tlio other ,
"but ho has been much more successful l.n
canting , "

The Ilorbaeh-Sohields row over the posses

hanging on to a part of the land in 'con
troversy and trying to got hold of tho"rc-

nearly n generation , The following state ,

"This litigation dates back to 1803 , when
Omaha was a moro village , and when the
land now in controversy was wild prairie.
Louis Sohiolas was ut that time engaged in
manufacturing brick at various points in the
village of Oiffahn , and also engaged in
building houses. John A. Horbach was at
that time in active business hero doing
some building , and ho. formed the acquaint

line of purchasing building material and
oreotlng buildings.
"In 16C1 Mr. Ilorbach sola the land now In

that ho performed enough labor and fur
nished enough material upon that house , for
which ho has never been paid , to pay off the
entire purchase price of the hind. The pa
pers on fllo in the series of suits over this
land allege that about ton years after
Schields moved upon the property under his
contract of purchase , Mr. Ilorbach , while
Schlelds wns intoxicated , got his contract of
purchase nway from him and gave him In
lieu of it n lease for the premises , and that
the following day , when Schlelds recovered
from his drunken stupor , his friends told
him that Horbach had swindled him nnd
that ho shouldrgo bacK and got a now con
tract , or some paper recognizing his title in
the land. This ho did , and Horbach gave
him a paper purporting to glvo him the same
protection and title that his old contract se
cured him , butt instead ot being nn absolute
contract of sale it proved to bo an option to
buy within a certain time. Schiolds , who is
a foreigner neil Illiterate and unable to road
written Kngltiih , did not know but thnt ho
had a pew contract , but thereafter , Hading
that It was an option , ho again
charged Horbach with baa faith , nnd
thereupon Mr. Horbach told him to pay up
n small balance which ho claimed was yet
duo upon the > ; old contract , and ho would
inaUe him a doinl. Relying upon this verbal
arrangement ta carry out the provisions of
the old contract of 160-1. Schiolds paid him
In small installments about $1,000 moro from
1874 up to 1880 , and then stopped nnd wanted
a deed , Ilorbach declared that ho would
not glvo him a deed and told him that ho did
not own the land , and that all ho had been
paying in the years past was rent for the
premises. Soon after the above declaration
open hostilities botwcon the parties com
menced nnd Horbach tried to got physical
possession of the land. In 18SO or 1837
Suhlelds commenced an action for specific
performance of his contract ana asked the
court to give him n deed. That suit was de
cided in favor of Mr. Horbach , but Schlelds
appealed to the supreme court and that
court reversed the decision ana awarded the
land to Schields. A motion , for a new trial
was filed nnd the supreme court reversed Itself -
self , nnd again awarded tholaud to Horbach.

now titles In Schiolds ami his family. Mrs.
Schiclds , who was not a party to the su
preme court litigation , now intervened , and
claimed a right to rclltlguto alt the points
litigated by tlio supreme court , and Schlelds
himself sot up u now title to tlio land by nd-
verse possession tor moro than ten years
Upon thcso Issues the title Is now being
litigated lu the district court of this county.
n"Hoccntlj"Mr. Horbauh conceived the Idea
that the process of tlio court In giving him
possession was too slow , and that ho would
take possession by strategy , so lie adopted
the peculiar policy of using the po
llco force to aid him in taking
possession , nnd induced certain police ofllcers
to notify the tenants of Mr. Schields resid
ing on the land to clean up itlio promises
within twenty-four hours under the
penalty of arrest , and to 'remove
from the promises within three
days. ' This notice was served upon the oc-
cuuants of the premises under Mr , Schlclds ,
but instead of removing they tinned the
notice over to mo , and I asked an explanation
from the chief of police concerning the
peculiar phraseology of the notice , nnd
what was meant by ordenng.'peoplo to clean
up and inovo oft the promises. ' I suggested
that I could Dot Had any gr.mt of power in
the city charter lodging lu the police depart
ment the right to give forcible entry and de
tention notices , or to try titles to land , nnd
intimated to the police department that it
was helm ? used by Mr , Horbach and his
agents along improper lines o' conduct. This
put un end to the giving of notice * of this
character , but having failed on this score
Mr. Horbach set his ingenuity ut work to
discover another plan of getting the SchieliU
tenants off , or getting himself Installed in
possession , BO last Mondav ho attempted a
coup by appearing on the ground with m
dozen or moro men and energetically at
tempting to incloso the premises with u liigh
board fence , fencing In the Schiolds tenants
and likewise fencing them out , for some of
the tenants whose teams wore outside dur
ing the day on returning In ttio evening
found their avenue of ingress cut off. But
about this time Schlelds , through his coun
sel , appeared upon the scene with the sheriff ,
aided by a restraining order , and under in
structions from mo Mr. Schiolds knocked
down the greater portion of the now fence.
"But the end was not yet , for that same
night Mr. Horbach's force , who still roosted
on some logs on ( ho premises , renewed the
warfare , and nailed up the fence again , and
in the morning of the 10th Schlelds1 tenants
were again confronted with the fence. This
time their teams were on the inside , but
thrftugh the courtesy of Mr. Horbach and
his agents were allowed to take the working
teams out through a gate which he had con
structed in the fence. Immediately after
thiir qepM-ture h.o securely looked tlio gate
and tola tao tenants that such teams ns had

passed out could not got back unless they
would turn their leiiiohold Interest from
bchiolds over to Horbach , and approached
some of thorn with nn offer of money through
his follow warrior , Victor Lantry , who per
sistently and fur into the night. pJo.-iiled with
the Schlolda tenants to accept Horbach's
lucre and titlco the lease from him , and to
vacate the premises under Schiolds' lease ,
hut money did not seem to have
nny effect upon the manhood of
Schiolds' tenants and they stoutly refused.
"On May 10 Mr. Horbach was again aidea
by the police and nionlticr was detailed to
sit upon some logs upon the northeast corner
of the promises , but his. stay was cut short
by another appearance of the sheriff , armed
with another restraining order from the dis
trict court in broader and bolder terms ,
commanding nil persons to desist from Inter-
forrlng In any manner with the possession
of Louis Sohlulds and his tenants over any
portion of the Schlclds premises. It now
looked as though n conflict was imminent
between the sheriff's forces nnd the police
powers , but good sense prevailed and the
pollco withdrew , nnd Mr. Schields was loft
again In the unrestricted possession of the
property , whereupon ho again Icnoclcod the
fence down , nnd his tenants passed In nnd
out of the promises unmolested. Mr , Hor-
bach , finding tlmt the Injunction writ
scorned to be nn effective } weapon of warfare ,
sought the pollco powers to have Mr.
bchiolds and myself arrested for threats to
demolish property , and through His agent ,
Mr. Uarnum , nnd by himself , applied to the
police court to have Mr. Schields and myself
incarcerated and bound over to keep the
peuco , but his requests nt the pollco head
quarters were refused , and he wns told that
the sheriff and his force seemed to have pos-
Bcssion up there , and thnt no interference
uould bo made with the district court nnd
its orders.
"Nothing daunted , however , Mr. Horbach
applied to the mayor for special pollco
