slaves, freed under the state law, once the
property of the family. The list of relics
owned by Mrs. A. S. McGill was pub
lished yesterday in THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS.
Mrs. McGiil finds that ''no one will lend
a scrap OF lace or half fan" TO go to the
fair, which must take Il load of RESPONSE
biiity from the committee.
Miss Mary Lam berton reports that in
proportion to the number of women tax
ing course of higher instruction, the
number graduating with degree from a
recognized college is small. This the
committee seemed to think due to the
stitutions, boarding and technical schools
so near at hand In New York city, by no
means to an undervaluation of the higher
education.
Before the meeting adjourned, the
President left the chair to move vote of
thanks to Miss Manners for her untiriug
efforts in behalf Of the exhibit. Carried
unanimously. Mrs McGill moved a
similar courtesy to the President, who
managed TO evade putting the vote. Yet
it is impossible to leave the reports of the
committee without mention of the admir-
able manner in which Mrs. Garretson
fulfilled the duties Of presiding officer.
II all the cnairmen of local committees
displayed similar acquaintance with
parliamentary usage, one of the standing
reproaches OF meetings of women has
been refuted.
AS 1t is, when the President asked
whether the members were not satisfied
with the showing of Jersey City women
at the Fair, everyone agreed with the
member who said with decision, II
