"Old Glory" to Be Planted at a Unique EN-
inence In the Black Hills.

CHAMBEnLAIs. s. d., May 29.-The people of
western South Dakota and Wyoming are greatly
interested in the attempt of W. B. Rodgers of
Sundance to plant an American flag on the top
of the Devils Tower in the Black Hills.
The tower is 1000 feet high, measures soc
feet in circumference at the base and $50 at the
top. 1t is supposed to have been chimney Of
some subterranean fire. 1t is perfectly round
in form, the sides being like huted portico
column.
The composition is supposed to be molten
rock, which was emitted from the fires below,
each eruption increasing the height OF the CHM
ney until the present height had been attained.
when the molten mass ran down the sides,
leaving burrows its entire distance. No one
has ever vet stood on the top of this curious
tower. II is inaccessible. the sides offering no
foothold. Rogers claims he will cut foot holes
as be ascends. Should he be successful he will
receive $500.
Scientists say that this tower has not q du-
pic ate in the world.

CONGRESS OF WOMEN.
Dress Reform the Topic of the Last
Day of the Session.

Chicago, May 20.-Thc closing day of
theworld's congress of women was given
up entirely to discussion of matters re
lating to the costuming of the sex.
Naturally such a subject of general inter
est brought the women out in force and
both Washington and Columbus halls
were packed to the doors long before the
opening of the proceedings. The proceed
ings in the hall of Washington, where
Mrs. B. Ward Dicks presided, were
fairly under way when the land
ing of the approach gave way. The
crash of the timbers and the shrieks
of the victims temporarily interrupted
the proceedings. Some of the delegates
made a break for the door, but 6-foot
police officers blocked their path and per-
mitted neither ingress nor egreSs Mean
while the president applied her gavel and
succeeded in spite of the hub
bub in conveying the information
that nothing serious had occurred,
and that there was no excuse for any
alarm. Thereupon with many long
breaths and signs and other tokens of re
lief the ladies settled back in their seats
and the programme went on. The par
ticular topic OF discussion was ethics of
dress
Emeline d. Wells presided over
the assemblage in the Hall of Columbus.
Woman's dress, from the standpoint Of
sociology. was discussed.
Tomorrow morning, in both halls,
there win be religious services conducted
entirely by women ordained as ministers,
every denomination which has admitted
women to the ministry being represented.
1t was late last night when the mem
bers of the international council Of the
woman's congress settled the cause of
n1ffArnnnne ~ n
offices to the various countries,
1t was decided that England
should have the presidency; America the
vice presidency; France one secretary
and England one, and the treasurership
should go to Finland. 1t did not take
long to elect the following officers: Lady
Aberdeen, president; May Wright Sewall,
vice presidents Nine. Maria Martin, re
cording secretary; Eva McLaren of Eng
