FEMININE FEROCITY.
SpitefW Meeting of fLady Mana
gers of Fair.

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-For four hours yes
terday afternoon the Board of Lady Mana
gers wrangled and when the meeting adj
journed the report of Mrs. Meredith, which
was the cause OF all the trouble, was still
be fore the body. There were tears, Kisses,
stamping and other noises. AS soon as
the meeting was called TO order there was
a desire expressed that Mrs Nancy Hous-
ton Banks, of Kentucky, explain how a
certain deposition made by Mrs. Hall, of
Delaware. secretary of the committee, came
to be published. The deposition was in an
awards support of Mrs. Cunningham
charges that Mrs. Meredith, chairman of
the committee, had acted with "malice.
This brought forth great deal Of femi-
nine oratory but Mrs. Banks finally ex-
planned that the first she knew OF the pub
licotian of the deposition was when she
saw members OF the press with type
written copies and she at once notified the
officers of the Board.
Mrs. Meredith then made a report, in
cluded in which was the information that
every member of the committee had signed
a letter addressed to Mrs Palmer asking
that Mrs. Hall be excused from further
service on the committee.
Then trouble began andl for three hours
one parliamentary question after another
was raised, until even the man who sits as
parliamentary expert at Mrs. Palmer's side
and advises her, was bewildered. AS the
debate grew large number Of outsiders,
attracted by the noise, pushed by the
guards and filed the chamber.
None Of the many proposition met with
the appreciation of a sufficient number of
members to insure adoption and the board
finally adjourned in a very ruffied frame Of
mind, leaving the matter unsettled.
