THE ACADEMY OF FORTY.
Prosperous Future Ahead of the New

WOmnn-s Club.
The Academy of Forty held its third SEES
sion in the Woman's building Monday
evening. In spite of the moist weather. it
would have been difficult to find a more
cheerful and enthusiastic circle of women.
Three new academists were added to the
number - Miss Emma NJ Gillett. Mrs.
The latter was obliged to send her first
contribution to the conversation by letter,
which was read to the society.
After discussion of motto, flower and
badge. the academists entered upon a
formally informal conversation on Mis-
takes in which every member Joined. The
remarks were undoubtedly well considered
before hand, and the appropriate quota tons
memorized for the occasion; but it was SO
successfully directed by Miss Huddleson as
to have all the appearance OF ready Wit
and culture at command.
AS the academiSts forbid themselves the
use of manuscript or notes, their work is
an excellent preparation for any emergency
into which intellectual ability and social or
political ambition is liable to plunge 1.-The
new woman of the near future and in this
day of clubs the academy has chosen an
original sphere, which promises 1t pOpu-
larity and perpetuity.
Mrs. Havens invited the academistS to ac-
company her to Largdon, where she is to
lecture on the evening of the Sd of May.
Among those present were Miss Sarah NJ.

The Amalgamated Association of Iron.
Steel and Tin Workers has recovered from
the severe blow struck at Homestead in
1882 When this great battle was lost the
eight lodges at that place surrendered their
charters and the members We're given the
privilege of returning to work at the terms
offered by the Carnegie Steel Company.
Later the work of reoI ganization was con-
Quoted with the greatest secrecy. 1t can
now be announced that all of the eight
lodges that existed before the big strike
have been reorganiZed. and the workers
are in better shape than ever before to
claim restoration of the wages paid prior
to the fight of 1892.
The work of reorganization and organiza-
ton las been conducted quietly at not only
the Homestead mill. but at every plant
operated by the Carnegie company. Lodges
have been organized at the Beaver Falls
mills and those in the Lawrenceville district
at Homestead. If victory is obtained at

President Garland OF the Amalgamate1

WOMEN AND POKER.
The Game Said to Be Popular With
the New York Fair Sex.

The Game Said to Be Popular With
the New York Fair Sex.
From the New York Herald.
The destinations of poker have captured
the women of New YORK. and the end IS
not yet. And since The women have taken
it up, it is safe to conjecture that Ioker

tent it has been since the season of Lent
set in. and the worldly minded have re-
sorted to it as a Lenten diversion. A care
full canvass of the situation has revealed
The fact that the Tail apartment. houses.

dwell New York's eminently respectable.
God fearing women are-dare l say it,
hotbeds of poker.
The poker matinee is the new fad 1t
was inaugurated in Boston more tnan two
winters ago, and 1t has been this long in
reaching US. But it is here. Al invitation
to a poker matinee includes an invitation
to luncheon a t i o clock-rather an informal
luncheon, to be served in the least time POS
sible-and the game begins at or I'D.
The garish light of day is excluded 10y the
window hangings. while the crimson or
pink or yellow lamp shades throw Il soft
light on the fair players. Perhaps Il couple
of men drop in at o'clock, but they are
not wanted Men change the luck, and the
room begins to lose. The poker matinee
gets on better and more satisfactorily when
the men stay away.
The gaming table was in vogue in George
Washington's time. and some persons think
il is only a matter of a season Gr so before
it will form an article of furniture in the
New York drawing ROOM The table o. COLI
tnental times had little mother of pearl
cups set in it. wherein our illustrious ances-
tors kept their coin. AS a notice of the

actly shamefaced, about it

AFTER THE DOG PRISONERS.
Mr.. james l.. Norris Offers "a Reward
for Their Arrest md Conviction.


The cowardly and inhuman scoundrels
who have been scattering poison in Ju-
dietary square. for the purpose of killing
the dogs which, take exercise there, should
be brought toJjustice if it takes all the
official power in Washington" said Mr..
James l.. Norris this morning. with much
indignation. For one l will give $50 for
the arrest and conviction of the vandals
who are guilty of the crime, for it Is moth
ing less than that. 1t is no new thing. Six
months ago two of my dogs were running
in Judiciary square when they suddenly be-
gan to writhe with pain. l put them in my
carriage and took them down to John
Prices livery stables, where they were
placed in a box stall. Their agony was pitt
full to witness. In their commissions they
leaped to the top of the STALL They both
died. I have two very fine settlers, Cor
don and an Irish. but l keep them away
from the square now. Some of the most
valuable dogs in Washington have been
accustomed to run in the square, and sew
eral of them have died from the poisoned
food placed there. notably the two belong
ing to Major Darlington. and that of Drug
gist Shaeffer. The authorities should dis
cover and punish the scoundrels who put
the poison there, and not delay minute
in doing So"
