One of the Lenten occupations of society
here has been the agitation of the introduc-
tion of the Order of Deaconesses into the
Protestant church in America. Miss Ban
croft Is giving parlOr talks upon the subject

ington society. The other day she talked
before company at the home of the wife of
Senator Blair. Mrs. Harrison, wife of the
President, and about 70 other Washington
ladies were present Several ladies were
also present from other cities, including
Mrs Abba Goold Woolson of Boston. The
Protestant sisterhood which it is proposed
to introduce into this country is already
well known abroad. The work began in
Germany in the early part of this century,
and now German deaconesses are found in
hospitals, schools and many departments of
France the deaconesses home is situated In
the communistic districts of the city, and
there, among the poor, sick and needy lies

David Dudley Fields Remedy for
Evils Of the Caucus.

BOSTON, March 7.-Hon. David Dudley
Field of New York delivered an address be-
fore the Massachusetts Reform Club tonight
The speaker enumerated as six problems
now before the American people, honest
government, woman suffrage, that of the
negro race, the right of labor, the govern
ment of cities and the government of cor.
porations. He devoted his remarks to the
first mentioned and denounced the present
caucus system. by which nominations are
made by few voters. He declored in favor
of compelling many voters In a district to
take part In the nomination and election.
Compulsory voting he considered as neces-

says, ut is learned that Pell, Simmonds.
Wallack andthe ether bank wreckers, used the
Asbury Park On. J.) bank in their check
kiting operations. Sigmund Meyer, whose
connection with the wreckers has been al
legged, was interested in the Asbury Park
concern. 1t does not appear THAT the bank
lost anything by the operations of the
wreckers. The fact that there were busi-
ness transactions of the kind referred to,
led the National Bank Examiner to inquire
into the condition of the bank, and this re-
suited in the discovery that the president,
George W.. Byram, had loaned the bank 5
funds to himself for use in real estate specu-
lations to the extent Of $4,000. The bank s
capital is 500. 900, and the law permits only
ten per cent Of this amount to be loaned in
making the amount good, and the bank will
doubtless be allowed to continue busin oss. +"
