quarters in San Francisco. No site has
vet been decided upon, but more definite
arrangements will probably be made De-
fore the present Grand Council is ended.
The most important of the proposed
amendments Of the constitution was the
one respecting the amount OF the death
benefit. The question was fully dlscussef
az the afternoon session. but it was finally
resolved 10 let the amount, $50, remain
the same as heretofore.
No new delegates arrived yesterday. In
case the delegates from Memphis. Tenn,
who are tied up in Nevada. do not arrive
in time to attend the Grand Council,
authority will. In all probability, be dele
gated them to form an Atlantic Jurlsdic-
ton, as that was their object in attempt
ing to cross the continent
The entertainment given In the evening
by the Young Ladies' Institute drew an
immense audience to Metropolitan Tenn
pie. An excellent musical programme
was provided, but the chief event Of the
entertainment consisted in speech by
Archbishop RiOrdan. His Grace expressed
pleasure at having the opportunity of say
ing a word for the institute. and continued:
when asked few years ago to give my
sanction to a society of young ladies' l
rather hesitated. AS we grow older we
sometimes learn TO fear the efforts Of the
Young. But afterward as / saw these
young lduIeS uUNIuB lEo Cltys UliuE-
ing the graces OF their sex to bear upon so
manly people. l was glad to give my
sanction to their society.
1.-The men have taken to themselves all
the glory of carrying on great societies,
but in our day and our country the women
have shown that they can surpass the
sterDer sex by the ability and practically
of their methods"
The work accomplished by women at
the Chicago Exposition was then alluded
to. and the speaker continued:
1--WE hear a great deal of W women's rights.
The Christian religion as well as the Old
Testament has marked out very clearly
the lines along which women are to work.
God made Them male and female In
-ferority and superiority are words that
cannot be applied. Man has his sphere in
life, woman has hers, and these two
spheres can never clash. Man goes forth
and earns the living: he is aggressive.
Woman's sphere is in the interior of life
the home. She blesses aud refnes mans
work. Woman's work is one of charity.
She is the embodiment of Christian law.
You will remember the saying OF the
Greek philosopher, who was also the head
of the republic: 4 govern Greece; my
wife governs me- The conclusion is
easily drawn, and 1t would be better for
many men If they would let their wives
govern them.
1.-The woman's nature is the nobler.
Many men still have the remains of a
prejudice against women doing anything.
| These men are like old raceh0rses, they
shy at the futter Of the ribbon"
The noble work of the Young Ladies
| Institute during the poverty OF last winter
was then alluded to. and the Archbishop,
| after stating that they lad made thou
| sands of homes happier. continued /:
There is another work Of charity tina,
these young ladies could do. There are
many young girls ia large cities. forced
there by the necessity of making living.
l need not tell you that they are exposed
to many dangers. 1t would be a noble
| work If the institute could establish GEN.
ters where, under the Influence of music
and song, they could relax from the over
crowding of a large city. 1t is work |
have had in my mind for years. do
hope that you young girls will be able 10
undertake it. l believe there are many
Of US who would gladly lend them help
| ing and charitable hand"
The grand president presided over the
| entertainment and introduced the various
performers in the musical programme.
