FEMALE WRITER'S.



Organized Yesterday Evening.
The women journalists of the United
States, now assembled in Washington,
held another meeting at Willard's yester-
day and completed the organization Of q
society to be known as the Woman's In
ternational Press Federation Several of
the ladies objected TO the lengthy title, but
it was adopted after some debate. The
constitution was read and adopted by
sections.
No objection was made to any of the
articles until the clause defining the
qualifications for membership was
reached. 1t limited membership in the
Federation to womans press associations
that had been in existence year or more,
and q majority of whose active members
were engaged in journalistic work, and
also that literary clubs were barred from
admission.
This clause provoked storm Of objec-
TORS. Many of the ladies arguing, while
many ladies engaged in literary work were
not connected with newspapers, they were
still valuable members OF the association.
A motion was made 10 strike ont the OBJ
jcctiopable words, which was carried.
The rest of the constitution was adopted
without opposition. .os,,a
Resolutions were adopted commenting
the work Of the Woman's National Press
Association of this city.

Makes an Uproar In Wilfiamsbridge.
From ne New ro,k Times, sTM.
Miss Ella Tice of Williamsbridge, white
and said to be pretty, has startled the
ncighborhood up there by running away
from her home and marrying a colorcd
coachman named James Randolph.
Miss Tice is the daughter of the late
Isaac u. Tice, inventor of the machine for
gauging whisky, which Is now in use by
the Government. Aftcrhcr fathers death
her mother married Thomas Hyde, q
Westchester County politician, and the
family went to live on the Boston road,
about mile from the railroad station.
Mr.. Hyde is fond Of playing cards, and
as Randolph is one of the best players in
the neighborhood, Mr. Hyde used to have
him at his house to play. In that way
the coachman got acquainted with Miss
Iice, and they met frequently afterward
at the Baptist church, which both at
tended regularly. Randolph Is employed
by Mr. Stickney, a Broadway merchant,
who lives out there. Il
The coachman got into the way OF 60.
ing to. and from church with Miss Ticc
until the neighbors began to talk about 1t.
Then Mr.. Hyde interfered and drove the
negro out Of his house. Miss Ticc pro-
tested. and Wednesday night she left her
home to take refuge with an uncle OF hers
who is Justice OF the Peace at Forlham.
On the road she met Randolph, and went
with him to the house of q newsdealer
named Skinerton, who lives just back of
the Williamsbridge Station.
A little later Randolph and Miss lice
with Skinerton and his wife, went TO the
house of tho Rev. II. NJ. Lamb, pastor of
the Baptist Church, where Randolph and
Miss lice were married. The town boys
followed. them to. Skinerton's house and
gave them charivari.
The next day there was so much excite
ment in town over the marriage that Ran
dolph disappeared. lie was seen in Will
liamsbridgc yesterday, but not with his
bride. She remains alone ut the skinner
tons. f r.r.f -H
Mr.. Hyde says he will have the mar
riage annulled on the ground that Miss
Tice is not Of age and her parents had not
consented to the marriage. Mr.. Lamb is
censured by the townspcople for not in
sisting upon the consent of the parents
before he performed the ceremony.

SPRING SUGGESTIONS.
Avoid draughts and sudden changes
temNeratllre rIsat

Avoid draughts and sudden changes of
temperature.
DO not discard your warm winter cloth
ing too soon. It's better to suffer little
Inconvenience than to take cold
Remember that one is especially liable
to contract a bad cold or chill at this sea-
son of the year Isl .8.
A cough or cold contracted between the
seasons is the most annoying kind, and
may last through the summer.
II you feel a cough or cold coming on,
take drink of pure whiskey ut once. 1t
will keep the blood in circulation and is
the best preventive against the diseases of
the season.
Remember that only pure whiskey
should be taken. Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskcy has the strongest recommended
tions from the leading scientists and med
ical men. 1t is the only standard mcdci-
nal whiskey. Take no other from your
druggist or grocer.

HARD LUCK AT POKER.

Illustrated by tho Record OF Four Jack
Pots In the Town OF Boston.
From ne Boston Herald.
Five young men, with more or less
sporting blood coursing through their
veins, were gathered in the rooms of a
well-known club the other afternoon, en-
gagged in quiet little game of poker.
Everything went along all right until a
iack pot was announced, and hereafter
the language of the PLAYERS will be used.

the dealer.
"Two dollars harder" responded the
third man, and during. the progress of the
game particular attention. Is called to the
cards held by these two contestants.
The requisite sum is put up by the
opener and the cards called for.

trouble. ..b1tf
"And I will have three" responded
the other "stayer." H.. 49,.
Now the firing began. and four blue
chips are showed to the centre Of the table
by the first player. aI f~.

~ "Mine, are worth 81 more,' he softly
murmured.
II will have to stay with you."
"How many cards?" asked the dealer.
''Giye me one" said the raiser.
.,, how many will the slayer have2"
Then there wasmore trouble. The bet
ting was continued for two or three min
utes as fast as the players could count
their chips and deposit them in the centre
of the table. Finally the curiosity Of the
second player, combined with the fear
that he had fallen into another slough of
bad luck, induced him to call.
