A writer in an eastern paper says
"When a woman goes into thing she
goes with her whole heart, and all of her
acquaintance"
There opens Sunday in Washington a
great national council OF women, where
10000 OF them were present, represent
ing 100000 others. It seems queer that
the women of the country should be of
attending a convention while the men re-
main at home. This convention is the
outgrowth of the International council
held at Washington in 1Sss, when
the international and the ma
tional council were formed The
aim OF the National council is to COM
bine all local societies having the same
object, into National societies. these in
turn to be eligible TO auxiliaryship in the
National council The object Of this Ma
tional council is unity for the general
good of women, and through them of all
humanity" Susan b. Anthony was the
leading spirit in this vast movement, but
the National council is not to be devoted
TO suffrage and Miss Anthony refused the
presidency of the organization, in order
that auti-sufiragists might not be preju-
diced against them. Miss Frances Will
lard was chosen "a first president, an Of
fee which size still holds. Miss Anthony
was elected vice president at large; Miss
NJ. Louise Thomas, treasurer; Mary f.
Eastman, recording secretary, and Miss
May Wright Sewell OF this city, CORE
spending secretary.
