The w. @, I. u. az New York
led by the president, Mr.. Nary =.
Burt, Mrs. Frances Graham. SocrY
and Mrs. Frances J. lsarnca, Ma
Sapt. OF the Y's-was the agent in
tho successful passagc through ~
New York Legislature ola bill for
bidding tho hiring Of bar-maids.
1t reads: ''No female shall DO hired
as bar maid, or TO compound o.
dispense Intoxicating beverages In
any place where tho Same arc sold.
or offered for SALE" They wcrc also
the movers in tho Amendments to
the bill for Worlds Fair appro-
priation which imposed Sunday
closing, as condition of it. Their
hot protest against the bill for tho
licensing OF vice, aud thcir whole
sale circulation Of copies Of it
aroused popular indignation which
prevented tho introduction Of the
bill into the Legislature.
The Wo rld's Fair Directors will
eudcavor to secure tho sale Of
liquors on the grounds by an net Of
special legislation. This detcrmi- :
nation Is out of Difference first--to.
revenue, second to tho customs Of
visiting and resident foreigners.
When the Worlds Fair was set on
foot it was with tho intention OF
making colossal exhibit and COM
parison OF American thought, habit
and progress, as embodied in
American institutions, moral, cdu-.
cational, political, in arts, manu-
features, commerce, agriculture.
Foreigners CONS to see us as we Are,..
and there should DO rebellion from
end to end OF the land, against an
exhibit Of foreign institutions which
have engraftcd themselves on us.
"Americans for Amer ca and
America for Americans" is the
password. Let every American
and Christian rally to it; and If
that foreign infamy, tho saloon, is
given place on our grounds, every
native son and daughter should re-
fuse to attend or enter an exhibit.
Every mother in tho nation should
petition the directors against the
sale.
Lady Henry Somerset, en-routo
home, by request Of the passengers
OF the Teutonic, spoke for the ben :
eft of tho Sailors Orphanage, bo-
fore meeting conducted by Hon.
Andrew Carnegie. In attendance
among others equally distinguish
ed were the founder of the New
York World, Joseph w. Pulitzer
and ex-Secretary and Mrs. Whit
ney. Lady Henry's first act was
to telegraph from Queenstown over
the kingdom her denials that she
had been disappointed in her visit
to america, az was asserted in some
Of the English papers. Lady Hen
ry said in her annual address at
London: "Ono year from this
month there will be grouped on the,
lake shore in Chicago such an IL
lustration Of the worlds progress
as has not yet been witnessed.
-Four thousand men are daily at
work erecting the magnificent
buildings that are to house tho CO.
lumbar Exposition. Three hum
dred acres of land were requisite
for the Paris building; in Chicago
six hundred are required. AS one
OF the Board OF lady managers it is
my duty as it would in any event
be my pleasure to urge upon our
asso citation throughout the united
kingdom to do their utmost TO ad-
vance the interests of this great
object lesson OF women's work"
The directors OF the Temple have.
had an offer of $500 per month
for space for tobacco stand in tho
marble corridor Of the rotunda.
"Never" said Mrs. Carsc, to tho
applicant; "not for fifty thousand
dollars; we are not poor enough to
permit tho sale OF that vile weed In
our House Beautiful"
Tho bill giving women the right
to vote on granting OF liquor IL
cense as we'll as school questions
was defeated in tho Massachusetts,
legislature, on April 28th, by only
three votes. 1t would probably
have passed had not the yeas and
nays been called. There was not
iron enough in the nerves OF some
of the friends Of the bill to 90 on
record as opposed to the liquor
trafiic-fOr advocacy Of the women
is 80 construed, thank heaven.
The multitudes Of women in at
tendance at tho Quadrennial Gem
eral Conference at Omaha are
greatly disappointed that Miss Will
lard is not there TO champion their
cause. Miss Willard docs not be-
liove in forced growth; she knows
that pin-feathers are bound 70 be-
