Sorosis in Convention.

NEW YORK, March 6.-Sorosis,
the most famous woman's organi-
cation in America is holding its
annual meeting and election to-
day. This year Mrs. DR.. j. de l.. M.
Lozier will probably again be
chosen to the presidency, a posi-
ton which she has occupied since
the resignation of Mrs. Jennie Cum
ningham Croly (Jennie Jun). But
there is for the first time in many
wears an inclination to effect
change, and an opposition ticket
will undoubtedly develop. Sorosis
contains today on its membership
list the most famous professional
women in America, and counts IT.
self the most exclusive woman's
organization in the United States.
1t was organized with twelve
members twenty-six years ago, in
March, 1868, and the honor Of be-
ing its founder is always accorded
to Mrs. Croly, at that time the
most celebrated of women joarnal-
lists. Its objects as stated then,
are still intact in the main.
They are ito promote
pleasant and useful rela-
lions among women Of thought
and culture and render them help
full to each other" The member
ship is now early two hundred, and
these are divided into ten standing
committees, representative of the
active interests of women. Each
member is elected by ballot, and
on election is at once placed on the
committee most congenial to her
tastes.
The committees are classed as
follows: Education, Art, Science,
Music, Philanthropy, the Drama,
House and Home, Bust
ness and Journalism. These
committees have charge of the So
cial meetings and provide the pa
pers for discussion. Regular meet
ings are held twice a month, but
the annual event Of transcendent
importance is always the March
anniversary gathering, when otfi-
GERS are elected and much Of the
work of the coming year is mapped
out.
Occasionally receptions are given,
to which gentlemen are invited, but
as rule the gatherings are sacred
to members of the fair sex.
Among its noted members, in
addition to it's famous president,
are Mrs. E. l.. Demerest, Mrs. Mary
d. Hall, Mrs. Iona Bird, Mrs.
Maude X. Clarke, Mrs. Romelia l..
CIapp, Mrs. Miriam D. DOane and
Mrs. ID. T. S. DenisOn.
These comprise the chairmen Of
the various committee, and the
great success OF the organization
is due in large measure to them.
That it is exceptionally exclusive
was manifested not long ago by
the rejection of several prominent
actresses who had applied for
membership.

NEW YORK, March 5.-The Box

the Metropolitan association has
made complete arrangements for
the final bouts Of the champion

Gently Of the so-called amateur

jected. In one class, the ll5-pound,
all who were entered either refused
to weigh in the second night or
were disqualified, and the commit
tee were forced to reopen that class.

NEW ORLEANS, March 5.-In

A Scientific Problem.
Philadelphia Record.

Phlladeiphla RECORD.
A Philadelphia painter, who
makes ideal female heads special
ty, has noticed in his daily study
of nature along the street that there
are certain days when nothing but
ugliness is encountered, and again
there are days when the number of
beauties abroad is simply bewilder-
ing, not to say surfeiting. He has
tried to account for this by condi-
tions of atmosphere, the east wind
being VIGOROUSLY prone to redden
the eyelids, "puddy" the COM
pleXion and straighten stray curls.
But this he says does not wholly
explain the phenomenon. A
brother artist suggested that he
get married, and all such scienti-
fic problems would vanish from
his mind, "Ah! you've struck it !"
was the exclamation, OTIS the days
when | am thinking Of getting
married that the beauties all stay
at home" "No WONDER" was the
quiet rejoinder.

WASHINGTON, March 5.---The
Chambers of the Supreme court
were crowded at noon today with
people who expected to witness
the installation OF the new Justice.
Within the railing set his senatorial
colleagues, who had not learned Of
his decision to remain in the
Senate for a time. Most OF the
spectators beyond the railing were
ladies, whose costumes were be-
coming and lent a touch Of I'M
wanted color to the court room.
Therei was much disappointment
manifested on their faces when
the justices filed into the court
but seven in number, Senator
White failing to appear, and JUS
tice Jackson, who is in
Florida for his health, being
also absent. A long list
Of decisions in the cases has been
heard before the spring recess was

To Decide the Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. C. March, B.
Whether the Interior department
shall approve the bill recently
passed by the General Council Of
the Choctaw nation, authorizing
the Choctaw Railway company to
construct and operate a railroad
through the lands of the Chactaw
and Chicasaw nations, will be de-

Democratic State Central commit
tee are meeting in Chicago today
and will fix the time and place for
holding the Democratic State con-
vention to nominate candidates for
state treasurer, superintendent of
public instruction and United
States senator. That the conven-

lished in 1890, when Gen. Palmer
was Endorsed by the State conven-
ton resulting in magnificent
canvass and the success of the
state and legislative ticket.

Have you ordered your blue or

buttons yet? You know, Of course,
that His Royal Nibs of Wales has

ment, and that if wears one all
Englishmen will wear them, and if
all England wears them, all New
