Mrs Julia Moore, on the 9th ult. Meet

Mr.. Frank Whelan, at 3 p. m.
Notwithstanding the county fair was
in progress all the families we're represent
ed except three. After the opening exercises
the topics for discussion were called
up. As the rules of the club exclude
the discussion of all political and religious
subjects, the following topic had been as
signed the gentlemen for presentation at
thi- meeting: rs 1t wise to exclude re-
ligious and political.topics from our list OF
debatable questions" presented by Mr.. Il.
). Cook. Mr.. Cook thought it. wise to re-
fraln from sectarian or partisan discussions
but did not see how we were to avoid touch-
ing upon religious and political matters IN
the discussion of many things which wouio
come up from time to time, and thought VIZ
would not be serving the best interests oi
the club If we ignored all subjects which
savored In the least of politics or religion.
After considerable discussion, in which our
guests were invited to participate, 1T was
decided to let our constitution stand as 1t
was, and leave it to the good sense of our
president to call us down when too much
out of ORDER
Q he next topic on the program, "Of what
does domestic economy consist: Is 1t all In
saving money!" was presented by Mrs. W.
GLADDEN., who favored us withna very inter-
esting paper.
Next on program was select reading by
Orel Seeley, entitled, "The Convict" and a
select reading by Miss Lucy Kirkland,
humorous sketch of rural life entitled "The
refractory cow"
Owing to the absence of Mrs. ID. @. Coop

meeting.
The club was entertained by numerous
selections of both vocal and instrumental

NO SANTA FE PAY DAY

A JOURNAL reporter called on Dir
Wilder and informed him that the buai-
ness men and merchants we're very much
Interested in knowing when pay day is
coming, to which he said.
THE business men and merchants
should be thinking and understand that
this sympathetic strike business, If
allowed to prevail, viii result in the free
Quent if not almost continuous paralysis
of the business Of the country. there is
not business man on the avenue who ii
not as directly interested in the SETTLE
ment OF this strike IS the railroads.
IF such strikes are permitted there is
liable to be a sympathy strike every
week in the year. We are anxious Do
have pay day as soon az posslb BILE. but
the finances Of the company have
been seriously disturbed during the
past week and AS the company must den
pend upon its daily earnings from its
trains 10 meet its pay roll, the only sure
way to secure regular and prompt pHy
days is to secure the prompt movement
of traffic on the line"
