SPINSTERS HAVE A UNION.

Bachelor Girls of Advanced Age Propose to Abolish the Male Celibates.

The spinsters of Adams county, Pennsylvania, with headquarters at York, have recently been forming old maid societies to engage in various social diversions calculated to attract the bachelors, reports an eastern exchange.

At Gardner's Station the Old Maids' union held a left-hand social recently, at which all the old maid societies of the county were represented. The social was held at the home of Rev. Mr. Rhoades and Miss Ida Rhoades was assisted in receiving by Miss Aggie Zeigler and Miss Rebecca Myers. The guests were required to receive the refreshments with the left hand, the right hand of each guest being tied behind her.

These resolutions were unanimously adopted:

"Whereas, the need of a good husband has long been felt as a pressing necessity, and repeated efforts have been made to induce the legislature of Pennsylvania to enact a law that would compel all bachelors throughout the commonwealth to marry; therefore;

"Resolved by the Old Maid society of Gardner's Station, That we do hereby most earnestly request (not our present representatives of Adams county to use their best efforts and cast their vote for the enactment of a law that will compel all bachelors to marry, but) all men between ages of 28 and 45, who are in hunt of good companions address the secretary, Old Maid Society, Gardner's Station, Pa."
