BERLIN, Oct. 1.-THE No tn German
Gazette says It is not unlikely that Ger
many will refuse to recognize Mataafa as
king of eamoa, aud that It must be as
sumed that tho other powers parties to
the Samoan treaty have similarly ex-
pressed themselves, because at the con-
terence recently held at Berlin their rep
agreed that Malietta should
be king.

The Secretary of the Female Benevo-
lent Socicty furnishes the report Of the
doings of the society; Az tho last meeting
OF tho Benevolent Society Il was thought
admirable to prepare slight memmorial
The fact of its being the first aud Oldest
charitable institution 10 Wilmington may
excite an interest In its continuance.
This has led US backward to ascertain
that the first meeting to organize the
society was hold ON the 9th of February
1900.
Sixteen young women were enrolled as
mem ers for the purpose Of forming a'so.
ciety for the relief OF the poor. Althou III
the constitution and bylaws have been
somewhat altered to euit the changes of
passing ye irs yet they are substantially
the same. Ono clause In the constitution
admits OF no improvement aud we hope
to make 1t the basis Of our future work.
Itis:
Committees shall bo appointed to seek
and visit without distinction Of nation or
color, such persons as may be proper
obje Is of their attention and care. These
committees shall endcevor TO encourage
and promote industry by furnishing en-
ployment to such as may be able to work.
In desire to increase our usefulness
1t has led us TO reflect that the sewing
which has been accomplished through
the industry and skill Of its members
should be applied only to cases OF i'm
mediate need Of those unable TO sew,
All other work to be given out.
In reorganization of the plan OF our
work 1t has lessoued the amount OF sew
ing accomplished by US, but increased
the work OF the cuttiDg-out committee.
For upon them has devolved the pre-
paration of aa iucrees-d amount OF work
TO be given out. Selecting reliable pat
terms for all kinds OF underwear they
prepare for sewing garments to be given
to those who arc able to make them.
1t has been an added satisfaction that
from the stores Of weli-made clothing we
have b,eu able to draw for tho needs of
others than in our own city. At the
time OF the terrible destitution at Johns
town we were able to send 400 garments,
besides $50 pairs of stockings, and added
to those were 440 articles OF clothing
partly worn.

THE GAZETTE. FORT WORTH TEXAS WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY l.

his old faDce's great granddaughter
called Looking Backward, - and is the
work of Edward Bellamy, who lives in
Chicopee, Mass. Published here in Bos-
ton, it has had wide sale, and now a
queer result. People who were impressed
by the Utopian pict'fre it presented, have
formed club, the Nationalist club, and
are zealously spreading the doctrines
set forth by Mr. Bellamy. Some of
these were somewhat staggered when they
were told the plain, unadorned name
of Mr.. Bellamy s doctrine, but it made
no difference to the majority. The club
has held but four meetings, but men and
women Of national fame have subscribed
to- its doctrines and others announce
themselves as on the anxious seat. Rev.
Edward Everett Hale is one of the former;
Thomas Wentworth Hgginson is one of
the latter. 4 score of such names might
be gwen, but these two viii show the
field in which the club is gathering its
members and spreading its doctrines of
naturalization of industry.

aizatiOn of Labor"
Boston Letter to the New York Press.
Under the general subhead of
"cranks'' may be taken that coterie of
eminent Bostonians who have formed
club to spread the ideas they have found
in novel. And they are nightly in
earnest, too. The book itself is queer
thing. II is the story of a young Bos-
toniOn who awakens from trance, still
in his beloved Boston, of course, to find
that it is the year 1000. Natu-
rally he finds things somewhat
changed. People know even more in
Boston than when he fell asleep Won
deriul has been the progress of inven-
ton, wonderful the growth of the city.
Electricity does everything for man.
When he wants anything he has practi-
cally but TO press the corresponding knob
and it is his. Here are some instances:
The family is in the parlor il the even
ing. Does the guest wish music? There
is a programme from which he can
chOose-orgaR recitative, soprano solo,
fun orchestra, etc. He makes his
choice. a knob is touched and the
room Is Hooded with melody-all by tele-
phone. In the same way he can hear
any lecturer or any preacher he wills,
and can shut them of when he gets tired.
4 telephone continuance of like nature in
his bedroom enables the guest to be lulled
to rest by "Rock Me to Sleep, Mother''
and aroused by the ''Turkish Reveille. -
But the social system, too, has under
gone considerable change. Men and
women work only from the time they
become eighteen until they be-
come forty-fiye. Each person receives
once year credit card, representing
his equal share of the entire production
of the country for q year This is nom
transferable, and he can use it up when
he sees lit. Law labor and the maehiu-
cry of production are controlled by the
government. Every man is assured an
opportunity for work aud every man s
reward for his work is equal.
There are no old men
sau nc up millions; there are no little
children starved in body and soul. The
brotherhood of man has been realized.
