The Doirgs of q WomaD's Society of the
City of Washington.
Ten years ago last June ten women of the
city of Washington met and organized
scientific society and at that time doubt was
expressed as TO its being success as it was
thought that the members, on account Of
sex, would not be able to make any progress
in scientific research. The first President
was Mrs. lilly E. Stevenson. Whose husband
was at the time member of the Geological
Survey. Since the first meeting the society
has made wonderful progress and its fame
has become national. The following are
among some of the themes discussed and
they serve to show the scope of the organi-
zation: In the Presidential addresses of
Mrs. Stevenson the subject0 discussed were

"The Thi rteen Medicine Orders of the
Zuni." Other contributions by Mrs. Stey-
enson are; The Moki Indian dian Snake
Paintings of the Navajos" and "Zuni and

ent President of the society, has read pa

pernatural Among the Omaha Tribe of In

Indians" THE Music of the Omaha and
Ponka Indians" Other communications are

her own sex, but as We should remember
more often than we do the number of uer-
sons who are willing TO help their fellow
men is not, after all, so very small. Father
Damien went to Molokai, Sister Gertrude
followed him, and now Miss Kate Marsden
is about to enter upon life similar to
theirs, the only difference being that she
will work among the lepers of India and
Ru ssa and Will have assistance such as is
naturally impossible in an island so remote
as that upon which Father Damien eStab-
lished himself Miss Marsden has al
ready had considerable experience as a
nurse. In New Zealand she not only
rendered great services to the sick,
but she taught the miners how to
perform ambulance duties and was an ac-
tive propagation of the first aid to the in
jured" principles. In the bulgarian war
she was conspicuous as one of the most
efficient and devoted Of the Sisters Of
Mercy and was given decoration by the
Gar Since this time Miss Marsden has
been much in favor with the Imperial Gov
eminent, and has obtained special permits
sion and facilities from the CZarna for an
elaborate inspection Of leprosy in Russia.
She will be accompanied in her Russian
travels by DR.. Duncan, who is q medical
official of st. Petersburg and all hospitals
and prisons will be opened to her. The
Princess of Wales has eyinced lively inter-
est in Miss Marsden's work, and has been
influential IN arranging matters so that she
may continue her Investigations in India
after Russia has been fully gone over.
Miss Marsden will also visit the eper set

They Are springing Up in the Principal
Cities of The Union.
These workng-grls' clubs, that are
springing up in New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Washington, San Fran
cisco, and Chicago and other great cities,
and in smaller places as well-the conven-
tion, recently held in New York, was
thronged day after day, evening after even
ing, by representatives of such clubs-are
signs of the times. Never before in the
worlds history did women have such privi-
leges as now for education, for Industrial
enterprise, for independent thought and
utterance: Never before did "the woman
question" so persiStently and successfully
demand to be answered. When the future
historian shall attempt to characterize in
brief the nineteenth century he VIII surely
say that it was remarkable for the inYen-
tion of the steam railway and the electric
motor, for the spread of republcanlsm
throug hOu; the world, and for the scientific
hypothesis of evolution; but no less surely
will he say that it was remarkable for the
development of new opportunities Tor

The American working girls clubs have
shown great earnestness in impressing
upon the public the fact that they are not
charities. We heartily admire them for it.
In that respect they differ, altogether for
the better, from organizations somewhat
similar in England. which are maintained
and managed from outside, and as the
patrOnlZing patrons would claim, from
above, avowedly as charitable institutions.
One of the most delightful and hopeful
features Of the associations. brought to
light by the programme and exercises at
Cooper Union and the Metropolitan Opera
House assembly rooms, is that all classes of
women who earn their own living. from
famous authors TO shop-girls. are united for
the common good on a plane of absolute
equality. This is worth more than any
other or all other of the many benefits de-
rived from the new movement The people
commonly known as working girls" need
music. pictures, books, periodicals, whole
some amusements, but most of all they need
the inspiration to do and be their best
