TIE CONGRESS OF WOMEN.
SUSAN B. ANTHONY AND ELIZA
 BETH cADY STANTON

Address the Interhational Council at tho
 National Capital-The Former Tells of
 woman's Progress and the Latter of .
 Possible Alliance with Anarchy.
 WASHINGTON, March D. The interna- tional council of women was formally opened here yesterday at Albaugh's opera house. with several hundred delegates in attend ance. Miss Susan B. Anthony presided and called the council to order, after which Eliz- abeth c. Stanton delivered an address of welcome Miss Anthony in calling tue meeting to order said that the specific pur- pose in calling the council together this year and in this country was because just forty years ago the first convention of women called by women was held in this country. The call of the meeting forty years ago, she said, if she remembered rightly, had no sig natures to it; but nevertheless the two nov ing spirits in originating and carrying on the work were those of Lucretia Mott and Eliza beth Cady Stanton, who was with them to- day.
 She referred, in passing, to the progress made in forty years. Forty years ago woman had no place anywhere save in the home; no hope of pecuniary independence, or place, or position in the world; no purpose in life ex- cept that which came through marriage and the home They never heard any such thing then as a woman earning her living in any way except in teaching, domestic service, or in factories. During the forty years there had been an open sesame to almost all the avenues of industry. She was now almost the peer ::of man in the industrial world. What was true in work was true in education in everything Men had granted them everything almost but the one pivotal right

"Cribbed, CabiDed and Confined"
 What enemy of a race, dependent for stam- ina and stability upon the health of it's women, invented and ordained our ''evening dresses?" The long pointed bodice-what there is of it-fits like kid glove; wreath of roses fast on the left shoulder, droops low below the bust until it finds safe lodgment on the protuberant right hip. Folds of tulle meeting the garland, in ''surplice" style far below the breast bone, are confined on the right shoulder by bow of ribbon. Sleeves there are none, unless the obsolete articles are indicated by the bow on one shoulder and the flowers on the other The V-shaped ex- posture of the chest is corroborated at the back by vacancy between the shoulder blades, which has the spinal column as a visi- ble center. Long gloves strain in paroxys- nal modesty to reach the ribbon knots and roses and fail by four inches of tender flesh.
 It is winter, and undervest of merino or sanitary flannel was stripped from shoulders, chest and arms before the wearer .dressed" for the ball.

POVERTY AND PRIDE.
Four Sisters of Mt. Holly Who Pre-

Four Sisters of Mt. Holly Who Pre-
 ferred Starvation to Beggary.
 MT. HOLLY, N. J., March 27.-A sad case of destitution came to light in a most respect able quarter of Mt Holly Sunday night. The discovery created no little surprise among the residents, who were not aware that such distress existed. In neat residence on the upper portion of Garden street the three Misses Aaron and their sister, Mrs. Wiegand, have lived in quiet way for number of years past They are all children of the late Samuel Aaron, who was at one time pastor of the Baptist church here At his death he left small estate, part of which was the house in Mt. Holly, where his daughters have since lived very economically. It was found on Sunday that one of the sisters, Miss Mary Ann Aaron, was dead, and that Mrs. Wieg- and was so ill that her life was despaired of. Then the cause of the trouble was learned The women were literally starving.
 There was no food in the house, no stoves, and what little coal there was was buried under a quantity of ashes in the cellar Too proud to beg, the sisters preferred to starve, and they would in all probability have been dead to-day had it not been for the kindness of the neighbors. But the aid came too late, for Mrs. Wiegand died late on Sunday night Another sister is in a very precarious con- dition, and it would not be surprising if she did not long survive.

CAUSED BY THE STORM.

Residents of Kansas City Threatened with
 a Monster Land Slide.
 KANSAS CITY. March 27.-The heavy storm which prevailed all day Saturday and Sun day caused a tremendous land slide vest srday on the bluff facing the Union depot, which threatens to work incalculable injury to the property along Bluff street for a distance of three and half squares Tons of earth and huge powders crashed down, completely demolishing the frame engine house at the entrance of the Eighth street cable line tun- nel. Along the face of the bluff, about half way from the base to the top, is ledge about thirty feet in width, on which are a number of shanties occupied by colored people. This ledge is now scanned with immense Assures, which extend it's whole length, aud houses are tilted in every direction, while the resi- dents have been compelled to flee for their lives. What damage will be done by an extension of the catastrophe cannot be esti- mated The Union depot and stores along Union avenue, the elevated railroad station, the Eighth street cable line power house and several factories and mills lie directly in the path of the avalanche.

by which the women of the country could protect all other rights. She then introduced Mrs Stanton, who for twenty years had been, she said, the president of the National Woman's Suffrage association.
 Mrs. Stanton reviewed the history of weman's organized demand for woman suf- frage and womans advance Ill this and other countries. The initiative steps in this country, she said, were taken in her native state-New York-forty years ago. Tn 1S4S two conven- tions were held in central New York, and the same year the married womans property bill passed the legislature. Other conventions were soon called ill Ohio, Indiana, Massachu- setts, Pennsylvania and the other states. One after another adopted New Yorl's advance legislation Thus started the greatest move ment for human liberty recorded on the page of history, demand for freedom to one-half the entire race, and the keynote struck in this country in AS had been echoed round the world Mrs Stanton said she could not fully agree with Miss Anthony as to the degree of freedom women had attained They were by no means so near obtaining all they de- manded as some women thought. She referred to the fact that recently women had been de- nied admission to colleges in Cleveland. Mrs Stanton said that many persons expressed the fear that some women, by obtaining these rights, would becomed unsexed and become ulou VuyS uy 11lcuoS, Suo Se11u, we have never yet had any women on the face of the globe. We have always been mere echoes of men,"
 Speaking of the "more powerful ammuni- tion' than arguments, which she said women might use if arguments proved intellectual Mrs. Stanton spoke as follows: "I have often said to men of the present day that the next generation of women will not stand arguing with yoL as patiently as we have for half century. The organizations of labor all over the country are holding out their hands to women. The time is not far distant when, if men do not do justice to wo- men, the women will strike hands with labor, with Socialists, with Anarchists, and you will have the scenes of the revolution of France acted again in this Republic"
 At last nights session papers relating to education in it's relations to women were read by Mrs. May Wright Sewell, Sarah B. Cooper, Louisa Reed Stowell, Rena A. Michaels and others.

RETURNED FROM EXILE.
A Bank President Who Fled to Canada
 Faces the Music.

Faces the Music.
 ROCHESTER, N Y, March 27.-PresideiIt James Faulkner, of the defunct First Ma tional bank of Dansville, has given himself up. Immediately after the institution closed its doors in September last for want of S20, 600 President James Faulkner decided that a Canadian visit would prove beneficial to his health and he decamped- For some time his precise whereabouts was un- known, but subsequently, the dispatches stated that a man claiming to be a New York state bank president had been ar rested in Toronto for intoxication and as a suspicious character. It was learned that he was none other than Fulkner. Shortly after this escapade he went to Europe. The authorities having charge of the case got track of the wanderer, and opened a core spondence with him in Switzerland, which resulted in his return to Hamilton, Ont. Police officials went over to see him, and found him in a pitiable mental and physical condition. Arguments were advanced to prove that extradition was sure to follow sooner or later, and Faulkner decided to give himself up.
 The result was that on Thursday last, in charge of an officer, he was taken to Utica, where the United States court is in session. He went before the grand jury and made a OA fairs of the bank had been conducted. Last week Gen. l.. B. Faulkner, formerly one of the directors of the bank, and the cashier, Leonard Kuhn, were arrested and taken to Buffalo, where they were held in $25, 900 bonds. This was taken as a precautionary measure against their hearing of James Faulkner's surrender. The return of James Faulkner from Europe was kept secret, and was known only to the officials and his coun- sell Monday night Gen. Faulkner was again quietly arrested, as was also Cashier Kuhn.
 Yesterday afternoon Lester was arraigned before Judge Coxe, in the United States dis trict court in Utica, on an indictment charg- ing him with taking $50, 900 of the banks money unlawfully. His bail was fixed at $15.OOO on each count, or $136, 900 in all.
 James Faulkner was, like his brother, one of the most prominent men in western New York He is nearly 60 years old and man of commanding appearance, but his career of dissipation in Canada and abroad has told heavily on him and physically he is now al- most a wreck.
