between injustice to men and injustice TO
women.
Mrs Helen NJ. Cougar, Of Lafayette Ind,
spoke upon "Women Before the Law" Sho
said that a man upon trial was given jury
of his peors, but If woman entered court
room she was obliged 60 take u jury not OF
her own sex. In all the land no woman was
permitted to sit on the judicial bench. In
only seven states of tho union did woman
own her own child. Mrs. Cougar demanded
for her sex the right to be jurors, judges,
and advocates. She demanded the ballot in
order that the rights of property in all the
states might bo the same for man and woman.
The great danger of womanhood she found
to DO that the sex were without the ballot in
the face Of the inBuX of ignorant and crimi-
nal foreigners who are coming here. The
curse of the liquor traffic had buen fastened
upon women by men who now denied them
the right 70 protect themselves or rid them-
selves of tho cusEe by refusing thom the
right to vote. She asked for the ballot that
mothers might protect their boys even
beyond their majority, which the
mothers heart never recognizes.
Suffrage needs woman to-day she
said, for more than woman needs suf-
frage. Referring to Judge Reagan's opposi-
to a woman's suffrage committee III the house
of representatives and his offer to protect
the woman against their, desire TO enlist in

that the following order of business was
adopted for the eleventh conference to be held
in st. Louis at tho call Of tho president,

day, reports from states; Tuesday, prisons,
pcnitentiares and police administration;
Wednesday, reformatory aud preventive
work among childrenj Thursday, chronic in
sane and idiots; Friday, charity organizations

sidered of absorbing interest to all cities, and
placed it last to secure uninterrupted discus.
sion. She illustrated on tho blackboard the Of.
flee of the organizing secretary the room Of tho
corresponding clerk, the registration room,

trict Offices about $1,000 a year. But tho
amount saved to the city of New York is ten
times this sum per annum.
Tho object of tho society Is not 10 do the
work of other charities, but to organize the
entire charitable work Of the city, so that no
ono need suffer en- hour without proper care,
and no citizen, nor church, nor society need
be deceived

Enpor,s nnd Imports OF specie.

The following statement has been prepared
at the treasury department to show tho i'm
portation and expectation of gold coin aud
bullion during the years 1882 and 1883. The
exports of foreign coin and bullion in 1852
were S6.S07, $50, and the exports of domestic
coin and bullion were $40, ,230,533. Total OK
ports 1882, $56,03S, 1H. The exports OF for
eign coin and bullion in 1883 were $13,715,-
$50, and of domestic coin and bullion, SlS,-
l27,79O Total exports 1888, $31, si3, ,440; do
crease. $24, 194,694. The imports of domestic
coin in 1882 were $22, 2,500,0l3, and in 1888,
S36,209,3lS; increase in 1883, Sl3, 400. 1t
thus appears that from 1882 to 1888 there was
a decrease in exports of S2i,l0i604, and an
increase in imports of Sl3,70S,405, making a
total of 37,903, 0g0 more coin and bullion in

The Un,versaiist Church CONCERT.

The last of the series Of concerts by the
choir OF the Universalist church was given
last night and was largely attended despite
che severe storm, and from the enthusiasm
of the audience they evidently felt well re-
paid for Drawing the weather to attend. The
participants were such well-known artists as
Prof. Upton, organist; Jaeger, flutist; The
ophil, accompanies Mrs. a. A. Fenger, vio-
linist; Mr.. Henry Ulke, cello; Miss Erni, and
the well.known quartette of the church,
assisted by Mr.. Warren Young. The
programme was we'll selected and
admirably rendered. Every number was
deservedly encored, and the members of
the choir, as we'll as the other performers,
fully sustained their well-esrned reputation.
1t is to be regretted that more pains have not
been taken to bring these concerts to the
attention of the public and it is hoped now
that Lent is here and the attendance at other
places Of amusement diminished, that the
choir, which is under the direction of Mrs.
True, may be induced to give one or more
concerts for the benefit Of those who have not
heretofore attended.
