of which she was formerly member.

Mrs. NJ Louise Thomas, the President of
Sorosis, says that she sees no present pros
pect of the clubs assuming the dignity Of a
club house of its own. The feeling in favor
of club rendezvous for women with par
lors, reading rooms, library, restaurant and
full-grown privileges of all sorts, is so strong
that several thousand dollars have been
offered by members! for the nucleus of a
buying or building fund. But Sorosis has
strong conservative element which holds
back from so radical step, and in the
largest woman's club in the country, with
nearly 300 members, there is room for ex-
tremes Of opinion. The head and front of
the opposition to the clubhouse project is
Jenny June. The Brooklyn'S Woman's Club
is thoroughly united in its resolve TO open
club house, and if possible, to be the first
of the large woman's clubs Of the East to do
so,

Mrs. Kate Epson Clarke, author and
journalist, is one of the women who have
the courage to complain openly of the our
dens of modern dress. To wear reception
costume for an afternoon or evening means
with her, she says, to feel the effects of it
for week. Florine Tnayer McCray, the
novelist, is equally outspoken, but directs
her complaints squareiy against the chief

endured, but to shop or walk or receive in
a hustle is fatigue and torture. Kate San

Making Russian Sheet Iron.

Probably the only secret process
which has been kept inviolate. and
for ages openly defied the world of
science. is the iron trade of Russia.
The secret of making Russian sheet
iron is owned by the Government
and is such an immense monopoly
that it is currently supposed to de-
fray the entire expenses of the Gov
ernment.
The works constitute an entire
city, isolated and fortified against
the rest of the world. When a work.
man enters the service he bids last
farewell to his family and friends,
and is practically lost to the rest of
the world. He is never heard from
afterward, and whether he lives or
dies, all trace of him is lost forev er.
There have been several desperate
attempts made to steal or betray the
secret. but in every instance it has
resulted in the death of the would
be traitor.
In one case a letter attached to a
kite, which was allowed to escape,
was picked up by some peasants, and
despite their protestations that they
were unable to read, they were at
once put to death by the guards to
whom they delivered the letter. and
it was afterward decreed that the
guards themselves should pass the
remainder of their days within the
works.
The wonderful properties of this
iron are so well-known that it is un-
necessary to enlarge upon them i'm
itations have been made closely re-
sembling the original article, but the
durable polish, toughness and anti
rusting qualities are lacking. and to-
day the secret remains hidden as the
philosophers stone.
1t has been recently claimed that
new discovery has been made, which
it is believed by some, will develop
into the manufacture of an article
equally as good, and preparations are
now being made to erect large works
in this country for its production, but
it is too early yet to predict what the
results may be.-Er.

The corporation election, held
yesterday, resulted in the choice Of
q new mayor, three new councilmen,
and three old ones, reelected. The
election was unusually quiet, and
not more than half the vote was
polled.
Mr.. Gustav Brown, who has serv.
ed the town for several terms az
councilman, and made an efficient
officer, was chosen mayor Without
opposition, which is but just trib.
ute to that gentleman's worth as q
law abiding and public spirited citi-
zen. We do not hesitate to say that
Mr.. Brown, the genial gentleman he
is, will make a good mayor, admin
lister the affairs of his offlee in a sat
isfactory manner, and be credit to
the town.
Mr.. VIM. L. Hedges, who for the
past two years has most proficiently
proved himself to be worthy and
suitable gentleman as Recorder, was
re elected to that office by neat
majority.
In the first ward, Mr.. d. S.
Hughes, who gave satisfaction dur
ing his former term, was reelected
councilman. Mr.. c. M. Hough,
the retiring mayor, who served two
terms, and declined to be candi-
date at this election, and who gave
general satisfaction, was elected
councilman.
In the second ward the genial and
good natured councilman, Mr.. Hen
ry DUNN, was reelected, and Mr..
Stuart Hirschman, the popular
young merchant, was elected as the
second councilman. Although Mr..
Hirschman is quite young he Is
looked upon as one of our lead
ing business men, and we predict he
will leave a record at the expiration
of his term of office that both he and
his constituents may well feel proud.
The third ward will be ably rep
resented by Mr.. Robt. H. Phillips,
an old wheel-horse in the admins
tration of corporation affairs, and by
DR.. VIM. Neill, a prominent young
physician. 1t would be superfluous
in US to speak of the Dr. s qualifica-
tions for the duties of the Office he
is about to assume. They are too
well known to need commentator
from us, but that he will make
wise, conscientious officer, and be
active in promoting the best inter
ests of our town, is conceded by all.
The people have chosen good
set of men for their officers, and we
have no doubt they will administer
the municipal affairs in an econom-
ical and satisfactory manner.
