Hold a Mock "Folk Moot"

The Women's Federated Clubs of Chi
cago lately held a mock Folk moot, y
the earliest form of popular council,
such as was held in old times to deliber-
ate upon projects, discuss grievances
prepare petitions, etc. Twenty-Five clubs
were represented. 1.-THE Relation OF
Women to Modern Industrial Condl-
tions" was discussed under five heads
Domestic Life, " Social Life, lie
gal Status, (" Political Status" and
Economic Phases. " The moot was be-
gun by Miss Marion Talbot of the Uni
versity of Chicago and ended by Mrs.
Alzina P. Stevens, state factory in
spector. DR.. Sarah Hackett Stevenson
presided. Many bright speeches were
made, including an especially good one
by Mrs Catharine Waugh McCulloch,
humorously pointing the defects of I'LL
nois laws in regard to women. The
Chicago Herald says, 1.-THE speaking
was uniformly noteworthy for good Eng
lish, good taste and brevity."

labor will eventually make its own

things, contend that the demand for

Start with the idea that work is hon

called into another relation, you will all

The Great Show.

Everybody in Taunton was on the
qui vive this morning to witness the
street parade of Washburn's show,
and at about II o'clock their curiosity
was seemingly satisfied, as judging
from a spectators stand point, the pa
rade was a gratifying success. The
street pageants comprised large con-
glomeration of mounted cowboys and
performers, superb Percheron horses
ponies, donkies, two brass bands, a
fine toned Calliope, etc. The man.
moth canvas IN the afternoon was
filled to repletion. Of the general
performance nothing can be SAID
only in the way of sounding praise.
Following the marching cavalcade,
Consisting of the resources of the
establishment, came series OF
acts, single and double trapeze,
horizontal bars, juggling; contortion
feature, performing dogs, concluding
with full wild west, in which were
depicted many exciting scenes of g
wild west life, all done in a com
mendable manner. The total alb
sence of outside and inside swindlins
games was particularly noticeable. =

Washburns Show.

Washburn's new united shows ex-
hibited in this city yesterday after
noon and did big business. Well
did the circus merit the patronage it
received, for it was by far the best
show that has ever been given in
Lawrence. In the forenoon a street
parade was given, in which figured
the entire company and a great
many of the horses. The steam
caliope was a source of pleasure 10
all who heard it. A reporter was
privileged to inspect everything
about the circus from the reserved
seats down to the cook tent, and in
his opinion no better managed or
more neatly conducted show can
be found. Everything was in the
best of order, the canvas clean and
new, and nothing seemed to be
lacking from any department.
When Washburn started out this
season he determined to give the
people something new, and he has
done it. The large show tent is
capable Of holding 4, 500 people as the
seats are now arranged, and soon
more are to be added and the en-
larged. A word concerning the
horses they carry A large tent al

pie numbering near 500. In spite Of
the fact that the crowd had to stand
during the speaking the closest atten-

speech. Mr.. Rodgers made
dignifed and straightforward speech
free from the demagogry Of the. pro-
fessional politician. A fine impress
sion made by the speech which abus-
ed no one but spoke the truth in such
a manner as brought conviction to
many. Would more such speeches
were made by honest men, who have
no selfish end in view, but only anxious
for the welfare Of the republican
party, the party Of free ballot and
a feir count. A prominent Houk
man was heard to say in the language
of Aggrippa when under the influence
of Paups powerful preaching, GAL

right thing before the November
election comes around. That mar
will, we believe, decide to stand by
the people, who are his neighbors
and who he knows to be honest,

best speech we have had the pleasure

court in Erie, the resignation could not
be accepted. Mr.. Gleason nevertheless
refused to do duty last evening.

was on account of false charges which
were secretly preferred against him
that he had decided to resign
