SUSAN WAS SPEAKING
And So Great Was the Crush That There
Came Near Being Panic.

Chicago, May $3.50 wedged in the hall
ways of the art institute were the crowns
of women at todays session OF thelr great
congress that 1T one time Il pane was I'M
minent. 1t was at the entrance OF the nan Ill
which Susan b. Anthony was speaking.
Crowds completely filed the hall, ana nun
dreds of less fortunate women found thelu-
selves packed outside the corridor. IN a
hysterical voice one woman called on inc
chairman to postpone the programme ana
send for the police. Wooden partitions
filling the side doorWays to other halls We're
crushed in, and the crash added to o growing
feeling of alarm. The congress proceedings
were temporarily discontinued until officers
succeeded in clearing the balls.
\ noticeable feature of the women con-
gress is the constantly increasing number of
young ladies who attended its meetings.. Inc
scope of subjects considered today WAS most
comprehensive. although the religious ele-
ment was predominant. The Catholic Wo-
mems congress WaS crowded to the doors.
This was the first occasion in many years
when Catholic women had taken part in
deliberations OF this nature. Two ladies
clad in the sombre robes OF Il religious sister
hood sat near the platform. Eliza Allen
Starr, the venerable and Weil-known leader
of Catholic women of Chicago, called the
meeting to order. Miss Starr urged the
formation of a grand national organization
of Catholic women. On the platform sur
rouding Miss Starr We're Miss Ellen, A.
Ford Mary Josephine O'Nahan. Miss Sulll-
van, Mrs. Alice IihmonS ana Mildred
O'Webb. Papers reviewing woman in the
church and the church's treatment of her
were received from Emma Carey, Miss Ford,
Francis Costgan and Miss Toomy. A poem,
by Eleanor c. DonneIly, was read by Miss
O'Nahan.
At the evening session, Lady, Aberdeen
read a paper on 1.-The Work of the Irish
Nuns and Miss O'Nahan one on Catholic
Women in Philanthrophy.o
A poem by Margaret NJ. !ialvey and
papers by Sarah Moore and Mary A: i
Mahar followed, the programme being closed
by Janet T. Richard with an antithesis of

HAS a BETTER LOOK.
The P1anlKinton Bank Opens Again-Several
Small Banks Close.


Minneapolis, Mimi, May 15.-,rhe North
western Guaranty Loan Company is now
in an embarrassed condition owing to tinan-
cjal stringcncy The company is about ten
years old and it's capital stock is 81 100000.
1t owns the $2,0OO,O00 building in which
its offices are located and holds as collater-
al and fee simple a large amount of rael
estate here in Chicago and elsewhere.
The Farmers and Merchants State bank
has suspended payments. While the
bank is II very small one, its paid
UP capital being but 100000 and its surplus
about 81 900, it has been looked upon as
weak for some time and no surprise is cauS-
ed by the suspension, which it is believed
will prove temporary. 1t should be noted
that this is not the Farmers and Nechan-
les, Savings bank, which is perfectly solvent.
The Plankinton All Right Again.

prise was manifested this morning when
the Citizens bank suspended payment. The
notice on the door says that depositOrs will
be paid in full Depostors declare that the
bank is perfectly solvent and that the sus-
pension is due simply 10 the inability to re-
alize promptly on its securities. The Git

is at the worst only temporary. There has
been no run on the bank and the action was
taken to protect all depositors alike.
A Redding special to The Journal says:
The bank of Zumbrota, at Zumbrota, Good
hue county, Minnesota, has suspended pay
ment. 1t had $4,000 in cash on hand at
the time of suspension, but its load of
$4,000 in paper was too heavy. Its capital
stock is $2oO,O0O. Depositors, it is said,
will be paid in full.
Will Resume Business.
