the United States and the other treaties Of
the United States with the various Ger

A Col.rcd Woman's Paper.
There was an incident at the council this
morning that recalled very wildly a hap
pening in Chicago only few weeks ago
which shook society there to it's founda-
tions, and which gave rise to a good deal
of discussion all over the country. 1t was
the nomination Of a colored woman. Mrs.
Williams, to membership in the Chicago
Womans Club one of the most exclusive
organizations of the windy city. The color
line was drawn at once and 1t seemed as
though the question might ultimately
wreck the club.
AS 1t was it resulted in the withdrawal OF
some of it's active members. Now this was
the Mrs. Williams who read the paper at
the session Of the council this morning.
1t was thoroughly interesting and schol
arly one, too. and at it's conclusion Mrs.
May Wright Sewall took occasion to criti-
else rather sharply club that could close
its doors to a woman of such evident cul-
ture and charm simply on account of her
color.
Mrs H. Solomon, president of the Ma
tional Council of Jewish Women, is men,
Der of the Chicago Woman's Club. She
had seat on the platform. and at once rose
to make few remarks in defense of her
club. She said that if Mrs. Williams nom-
ination had come before the whole club she
would have undoubtedly been elected, but
1t was. unfortunately, a committee affair,
and was deeply regretted by the club,
which had been placed in false light in
the matter and had been greatly misrepre-
sented by the newspapers.

The discussion on the subject OF the
morning was opened by a paper written by
Mrs. Henrietta G. Frank Of Illinois. which
was read by Mrs. H. Solomon Of Chicago.
The basic force Of civilization Is the fam
lily, not the individual. and the more COM
plete and ideal Is the union Of man and
woman the higher Is the flight of society
toward the pure and good. This holds as
true in correctional work as 1t does in any
other line Of effort Some people are born
bad some achieve badness, while others
have badness thrust upon them. In treat
ing those who come under any Of these
three heads, women, with their forbear-
ance and sympathy. are particularly effica-
cious. In reformatories and jails the pres
ence Of women is always power for good.

The Washington county grand Jury
has found indictments against John
W. Titcomb of st. Johnsbury formerly
of Rutland. and Charles c. Warren OF
Waterbury, fish COMMISSIONERS. for
furnishing liquor to the Legislative
committee at the visit to the state
fish hatchery at Roxbury during the
last legislature. The indictment is
in pursuance of the late interpretations
of the law that come close to making
it crime for any man to treat rlsi-
tor at his own house or anywhere else,
while it is entirely legitimate for the
other fellow who does the drinking.
The solons had no difficulty in swal-
lowing the whiskey which the commits
sioners provided at RoXbury, but
there was a great uproar afterward
and the commissioners resigned,
though Coy, Woodbury. has not yet
accepted the resignation. The two
indicted men have furnished bail in
500 each and the trial is expected to
come at this term. States attorney
Stanton says he is sure of proving 1
otfenses, supposedly by the testimony
of the solons who legislate that it is all
right to buy liquor while crime to
sell it, and who now voluntarily or
by compulsion will repay the hospital
ity which they accepted in this way.
The whole thing is disgusting
enough, but the fault can fairly be
traced back only to the infinite stu
pidity of the law, which logically and
inevitably has such results because
