tablish in Rome an International Ladies'
club, where women of all nations can
meet. A reading-room will be opened and
lectures given, and discussions held as TO
the best means OF establishing industrial
schools and schools of technical instruc-
ton for women.
1t seems that the notorious Mrs. Howe,
the founder of the so-called Woman's
bank in Boston, has started in Chicago a
similar swindling scheme. She got of
very lightly for her frauds in Boston, but
the Chicago authorities, with their knowl-
edge Of her past career, ought to secure
evidence that will put her behind bars for
a good many years TO come. She is one OF
the most dangerous adventuresses that
prey upon the credulity OF women, and
her sex should not preserve her from the
punishment that she deserves.
Mrs. d. G. Croly ("Jenny June'') has
been made president OF Mrs. r. z. New
by's Women's Endowment Cattle COM
pany. The company has filed its certif-
cate Of incorporation in New jersey, and
has capital stock OF Sl,5O0,000, divided
into 5000 shares OF $500 each. The COM
pany has control OF nearly 100000 acres
OF fine grazing land in New Mexico, on
which there are now 5000 head of cattle.
The stock is to be placed with women as
an endowment for their children.
Mrs. Clara l.. Howe has been elected to
the school committee in Gardner, Mass,
| by the largest vote ever cast for a school
committee in that town. She had served
for two years and half, and discharged
the duties so acceptably that there was Q
general wish to re-elcct her for full term
OF three years Even boys went TO the
town meeting and asked for ballots bearing
her name, that they might distribute them
at the polls. And yet some people still
think that the foundations OF society would
be overturned If women were allowed 10
hold Office.
The European papers were recently full
OF the celebration OF Queen Louise OF Dem
marks birthday. All OF her children Wis.,
tied her at Copenhagen, except the do,
mented duchess OF Cumberland, and 1t Ia
interesting TO cogitate on tho fact that in 9
few years a grandchild OF the Queen will
be seated on the thrones OF Russia, En-
gland Greece and Denmark. Her majesty
was a daughter Of the Landgrave OF Hesse-
Cassel and Princess Louise Charlotte,
whose father was Frederick, hereditary
prince OF Denmark. Queen Louise has
known the ups and downs OF LIE better
than any woman called TO share y throne.
All her children were born when bhe was
duchess OF Schleswig- MISREPRESENTATION
Glucksburg, and much difficulty had she
in giving them the education suitable for
the future she knew was to be theirs.
She is talented water color artist, and
in the days OF her poverty dreamed OF
selling her pictures in order TO add TO n very
moderate income. Her sons and daugh-
ters were trained from n very early age 10
visit the poor and afflicted and 10 prefer
the society Of few tried friends 10 all the
splendors OF courts. Queen Louise looks
about sixty yeaB old. Her hair is hardly
gray, and, although slightly deaf she al.
ways grasps the idea Of the one with whom
she 'conyerscs. There is sad contrast
, between the Prince Of Wales indifference
, toward his wife and the tenderness with
which the Gar surrounds the Empress
: Often when Alexander and Dagmar re-
, turn from drive during their Danish visit
II she Is long time preparing 10 come
down stairs her imperial husband take
her in his arms, carries her TO the sailor

little wife,
