Form a New Organization.
CLEVELAND, J, :. 28.-The convention
called for the pun $50 of eifecting a national
organization for the advancement Of gospel
temperance work convened in Music hall.
Those interested in the new society are al
most all women who have withdrawn from
the National Woman's Christian Temper
ance union on account Of its alliance with
the Prohibition party. The new organiza-
tion is therefore looked upon as a rival Of
the w. c. I. y. About 200 ladies, repre-
senting the states OF Ohio, Pennsylvania,
New York, Massachusetts,. Maine, Vermont
Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota,
were present.
A temporary organization was formed by
the election Of Mrs Il. j. Phinney, OF Cleve-
land as president, and Mrs. J. cornelia
Afford, Of Brooklyn, as secretary Letters
and kilograms expressing sympaeR3 and en-
couragement were received from John @.
Whittier, the poet; Rev. DIR. Lyman Abbott,
Postmaster General Wanamaker and others
Referring TO Wanamaker's letter, Mrs Phin-
ney said: II am afraid the postmaster gem
eral is too good Republican for us. He
believes that his party can handle the tenn
perance question to the best advantage. We
are not so minded
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, Of Iowa, will in all
probability be elected to the presidency Of
the new organization, which has not as yet
been given name.
Many more delegates arrived during the
day, and the afternoon session was attended
by fully $50 ladies. Committees on consti-
tuition and resolutions were appointed by

Woman's Sphere.

Woman's Sphere.
The following is an editorial clipped from the
New York Herald Of April 18th. A womans pen
could not have lent greater pith and point TO the
events it narrates.
For the benefit Of the persons who watch the
tide Of public opinion before they express them
selves, The CHRONICLE takes pleasure in copying
it verbatim:
"All hail to the brave and plucky women of
Edgerton, Kan.
"They are masters OF the situation; and the
men, the dumfounded men, are eating a two
course dinner-of which crow forms the piece de
resistance and humble pie the dessert-in the
dark and gloomy background Of defeat.
"The story Of this battle and victory is worthy
Of an orators genius, and should be embalmed in
the literature Of time.
"Edgerton is a small town, but it has numerous
billiard and drinking saloons in which the excise
laws are defantly broken. Husbands and sons
have been in the habit Of gathering in these dens,
slipping "a cup Of hot wine with not drop of al
laying Tiber in it., and in the small hours of the
morning have come home with unsteady gait and
unseemly hilarity. They had more difficulty in
finding the keYhole in the front door than Column
bus experienced in discovering America, and were
wont on special occasions to indulge so largely in
prohibition that they hung themselves over the
chairs and solemnly put their clothes to bed.
"The women, with that unreasonable impetuos-
ity which characterizes the SEX grew impatient
and used such mild explosives as become the femi-
nine gender, but all the same were determined 10
end this regime Of hard cider and hop tea.
"They applied to the town authorities to have
the billiard room screens removed, that between
their peering eyes and the carousals of their loved
ones there should be no impeachment The saloon
keepers had what is called pull, knew that upon
the screens depended the prosperity Of their bust
ness, and SO the women pleaded in vain. Thew
were at fist laughed at for their palms. told that
woman's sphere is limited by the four wall, of her
Kitchen and then sneered at as helpless creatures
with no rights which white man is bound to re-
spect.
''Then gentle breeze Of protest soughed in the
trees which grace the streets Of Edgerton. 1t in
creased in volume until it became hurricane of
indignation, and at last grew to be a perfect cv-
clone, which threatened every house within the
town limits.
"Defed, were they? And they shook their gorv
locks In unrepressed anger. No rights, Ell? And
they must HE themselves to their pots and kettles
and be grateful that they had husbands and sons
who condescended to come home soaked in had
beer.
"They would see about that. And they did see
