Hon. VIM. L. Wilson was selected as the
orator for the Soldiers Re-Union in Pres
ton county this 4th of July week. An anon
ymous writer objected to him because of the
fact that he was an ex.Confederate soldier.
The Ne,o Era politically opposed to Mr..
Wilson, rebukes the Southhater by telling
him that Mr.. Wilson served bravely and
houorably as a Confederate soldier. He
fought for a principle. His mind is broad
enough to appreciate the bravery of his OPP
poneuts. He will do it full justice, and at
the veterans reunion no truer, nobler or
more patriotic words will be uttered than
come from his lips"

Bogelot is greatly aided in her work by her hus-
band. NJ. Bogelot is distinguished advocate
and his professional occupation in the Palais de
Justice gives him many advantages in working for
the reform of convicts. M. Bogelot shares his
wfe's progressive opinions, and their easy circum-
stances and noble hearts make this couple of in
estimabe value in the Legislative and social reforms
going forward in France.
elf Nine. Bogelot must be credited with the
suggestion of the congress, Mme de Morser must
be added the honor of being the central force in
its execution
Nine. de Morsier, wife and mother, belongs to
that typical class of modern women whose domes-
tic life, instead of being the limit of their inter-
ests, is simply the fixed center from which their
larger life radiates. An accomplished linguist and
possessed of literary ability, she is profess
sional translator and journalist. Her philanthropic
work has been mainly along the lines indicated by
the Social Purity Society, and in this work she has
been long and intimately associated with Mrs. Jo-
sephine Boiler of England. Nine. de Morsier has
strong physique fine presence great tact, and
quick sympathes, as well as an unusual intellect;
her exceptional executive ability was demonstrated
by her successful management of so large and
miscellaneous body as the congress-

AT the seventeenth annual meeting of the
Woman's Congress many subjects Of vital import
ance were presented "Women in Affairs"
"Women in Science" "Authors Influencing the
Minds of Young People," Education" "Crme
and Its Punishment" Common Sense in the
Nursery" and other themes were discussed. The
Woman's Standard says: "No more powerful and
practical contradiction could be given to the mis-
taken idea that women must become coarse, rude
and unfeminine when they take part in public
affairs, either practical, literary or political.
And from the same paper we clip this extract from
the speech of Mrs. Grub, who was received as
the representative of the W. G. Z. U. from Law
renee, Kansas:
She gave very beautiful address, in which she
said she was proud and happy to form link be-
tween two such associations. 1t reminded her of
the prophecy uttered more than 5000 years ago,
"The Lord giveth the word. The company of
women that publish it are great host" Never
was that prophecy fulfilled until now. Great
things had been done by individual women; but
never had they been united in a great host until
now. 1t made one feel like bowling down the head

in awe at the consciousness of belonging to that
great host and of living in this glorious age.
Many of those present took advantage Of favor
able opportunities to present forcible arguments in
favor Of woman's suffrage. One lovely feature
of the occasion was the reception at Governor
Cooper residence; another, the beautiful music
and flowers. The congress was in every respect
decided success.
