A woman ON Parliamentary Law.

Mrs. Martha Strickland, OF Chicago. is
the guest OF Mrs. May Wright Sewall.
Mrs. Strickland IL an authority -on parlia-
mentary law and usage. For ten years she
has practised law. Mrs. Sewall invited the
presidents of all the clubs in the city TO
hear Mrs. Strickland talk yesterday after
noon at her home on North Pennsylvania
street. There was a large audience, con-
sidering the cold weather. Presidents OF
literary, musical and other organizations
were present. Mrs. Sewall introduced Mrs.
Strickland, who's manner and decisive Ian
guage at once commanded attention as
well as admiration. Mrs. Strickland be-
gan by saying that the club. society, Leg
~islature, Browning Club, or whatever or
ganization was considered was in minia-
ture a nation; an aggregation whose work
is to get the interchange Of views and to
get the collective view of the body.
slant conflict as to government. There
are two general ideas, one of federation,
the control of the people by a federal
speaker reviewed the Wing party, the Re-
publican party, the Democratic. TIL Re-
publican formed, not on individual, but on
control of masses by a central government.
The parties formed on the principle of
too much or too little government. For
shall be controlled. The common law and
the statute law We're next taken up. Mrs.
strickland said tndt the beginning was not
known of law. A judge first decided cues
tons. Later there was appointed a high
counsellor, then there were courts. The
students wrote out the cases. These We're
found to be valuable when like cases came
up. Later these were ordered printed.
These notes of the students have come to
be the foundation of the English common
law. These were the laws used by Amer
lea till the war of the revolution. Much
law is never written. In the main, the
law is correctly administered.
Mrs. Strickland referred to a case of a
woman securing a divorce on the grounds
of cruelty. Fifty years ago a judge would
have decided that the mans acts We're
justifiable. She quoted many cases which
formerly. Congress, she said, was as
sembled to right old laws and enact new
ones and the Legislatures were for the
same purpose for the several States. For
so many bodies and so many kinds a
parliamentary law has been gradually built
up. Much has been established by usage.
Parliamentary law, she said. IS not a
rights, privileges and duties of great bodies
are governed. The young man who wishes
to be a lawyer must study law and be-
come inculcated with It's principles, he can
never become a good lawyer by reading the
laws of any State or country. The matter
of a woman and property rights was das.
cussed at length. Mrs. Strickland then
came to the subject in hand, after making
what she called a ground work for the
talk. The various laws governing the con-
duct of meetings and the exceptions, and
many other points were touched upon. To-
morrow morning Mrs. Strickland will meet
the ladies of the city at the Propylaeum

A Lnymnn for Secretary.

sLaymen sometimes make the best sec
retaries of boards of health" said DR.. Met
calf, secretary of the State board, speak
ing from his experience of four years. In
fact, some of the best of our boards of
health have nonprofessional men as sec
retaries. They feel their responsibility
without having tender feeling for a broth
er physician, as many OF the med
ical secretaries have. Secretaries have
police powers, but if some doctor
has failed to report a case, the
will not do much, as a rule, to enforce
the law. That is what has caused the
spread of diphtheria in the small towns
and cities. They do not act promptly in
the strict enforcement of the rules of the
State board. A doctor does not like to act
so firmly against a professional brother.
The value of the services of boards of
health is often forgotten after the emer-
gency ceases. There was a case of small
box at Redkey, and the secretary of the
board was told by the commissioners to
go ahead and do what was necessary and
they would back him up. He. of course,
gave all his time to the patient, and, as
no one would employ him during such a
time. he lost his practice for the time be-
ing. Then the commissioners wanted to
settle at 81 a day. There was no further
danger and the board wanted a doctor to
give up business worth many times that
amount, and give all his time for the serv-
ice Of the public"

Mr.. Hazelton. y, I'd States minis
ter to Venezuela, " 4y gave an in
terview to the Associated Press ia re-
gard to the charges said to have been
made against him by Admiral Meade.
mention of which has been made here
tofore: II wish TO be entirely frank
on this subject" said he. 81 under
stand Admiral Meade has made a re-
port containing serious charges against
me. but have not yet seen the report.
1t is doubtless due to the admlrars
feeling concerning events which hap
pened during his recent visit TO Vene-
zuela All did not go rs smoothly as
possible and the admiral was much
displeased with certain features OF his
visit. Before leaving Laguagra he
stated that he would report that l was
drunk at the reception tenderd him.
This and other things may explain the
animus Of the charges.
when the admiral was about to
come to Caracas l received telephone
message announcing he would arrive
at O'Clock the next day. With my
secretary, MIR. Bartlett, at once made
up list OF prominent officials to be
called upon and visited and to be in
vited to the reception to the admiral
We went about from 4 to 10 y. m, de-
liverlng invitations. Again we were
busy with the work until 1880 p. m. the
next day. 30 that when the admiral
arrived at o'clock / was almost eX-
hausted.
President Crespo had designated 5
o'clock as the hour for calling on him.
We accompanied the admiral on, his
call to the president. Then we pro-
ceeded to call on the members OF the
cabinet. After several of these calls
had been made Admiral Meade grew
impatient. He said II was improper
for an admiral to be driving about
making calls on the cabinet We had
already made several calls, so that
said to Admiral Meade that 1t would
be serious reflection ON those on
whom he failed to call after having
seen their colleagues. l reminded him
that would have to remain In Nene-
an embarrassment to occur. He con-
scented to proceed. Then we were de-
tanned about thirty seconds at the
door OF one of the cabinet officers.
This also irritated the admiral and he
resented what he regarded as an un-
dignifcd proceeding. He consented.
however, to 20 through with the calls,
although giving free expression to his
criticism and dlsnpproval He de-
clared that II was unusual for an adj
miral to be making calls on the cabi-
net. | had relied on the five years
experience Of my secretary, Mr.. Bart
lett, who said II was local custom.
Under the instructions of the state de-
partment to ministers the local Ques-
tons Of etiquette are always to be OBJ
/ served.
another irritation occurred as to

calling en- tho foreign ministers. II
had been arranged that we should call
on the ministers of Italy, Spain. Ger
many and other countries represented
and should invite them 10 reception
70 ths admiral later. Mr.. Bartlett gave
this as the usual custom. But Admiral
Meade positively declined to call on
the foreign ministers. AS result
they were not seen and none OF them
attended the reception given to the
admiral These things naturally had
n tendency to anger the admiral, and.
as / have said, he threatened at La
guayra TO make report rejecting on
me, when, as matter of fact, did
everything / could to make his visit
agreeable and duly honored. Contrary
to reports, the Venezuelan government
was not greatly impressed with the
visit of Admiral Meade. He had ex-
pected the cabinet to turn out to meet
him. Two carriages were placed at
his disposal. but this was not sufficient
for his party and l added another at
my own expense"
tails with much frankness, Mr.. HaEle-
ton was asked the direct question:
Have you resigned2"
~ have not yet" said he.
Has the department asked for your
resignation"
II am not at liberty to discuss that
subject" said he
Mr. Hazleton was assured that from
other sources It mad been learned that
his resignation had been called for. He
answered that 1t amounted to about
that. At the Venezuelan legation much
surprise was expressed at the news of
the trouble over Minister Hazleton. No
word had come from Venezuela as to
the unpleasnntness on the occasion OF
Admiral Meade's visit and the legation
here was not apprlsed that Mr.. Halle
toms services had been other than
| agreeable.
