Across the bridge of the near future lies
our promised land"
Miss Phoebe CouZins did not think that
in the process of evolution woman would
attain higher standing and status than
that she enjoyed before. All evidences
point to the fact that in the prehistoric
times her position was elevated to de-
gree that it would be impossible to sur
pass.
Mrs. MAYNARD said "The women of all
ages had their preiudices and sympathies,
and we cannot take the ancient woman as
an infallible guide for the present at all
times. The most important lesson the
past teaches US is not to rely too much on
our class prejudices. 1t also teaches US
that, according to the laws of evolution,
women's turn is coming around again as
sure as the natural laws are followed
throughout all nature"
The secretary here announced that only
one meeting of the congress would be held
Sunday-in the synagogue on Suffer street,
near Powell. She also said that in pur-
suance of the suggestion that fund be
raised to defray the expenses of having all
the papers of the congress printed for dis
tribution in pamphlet form, a number of
donations had been made. There is already
on hand about $50, and she requested all
present who would like to help the cause
of women to contribute to the fund.
Miss Anthony said she had had much
experience in such matters. and would adj
wise the committee to add two more
ciphers to the amount already on hand.
What Home Means by Mrs. George
L. Gaden. was the last paper of the morn
ing. She said: What the home means to
society has been the subject of nearly every
paper read at this congress- and for the
first time in the history of the world 5000

/ have never hated men since. And you
talk about unmarried women hating
men, will you? Why, don't think there
is an unmarried woman in the land who
likes men better, or who IS ever trying
to do more for them at her own home
than Miss Anthony. AS l said, have
never hated men since those eventful six
months, but oh, I have pitied them very
much. 1t is shame that society has al
lowed men so much license in setting his
standard of morality"
In conclusion she said: 81 believe that
the unmarried women to-day are the ones
who have the noblest and hottest idea of
marriage and what it should be-"
A recess was then taken until 2 80 o. clock.

SSHE Woman's Congress is inurned
in the awful past. 1t came, it
was, and it is not. For six days
did it labor and, now, Christian
like, it rests on this holy Sabbath
day. 1t has gone, but its deeds will live
after it. Behind it has left a booming train
of onrushing thought, a band of clear
headed, self-sacrificing women, and
heaven of hope. 1t is dead but will come
to life again and again if need be, that the
prayers of the prayerful may be answered.
that woman may have the power to guide
her children right and make the ideal
home SO pleasantly pictured forth.
The last day was not the best day, tax
ing the measure of new thought furnished,
but it was probably more interesting than
any, 1t was Saturday, "hash day. as one
lady aptly put it, and the harvest of the
weeks thought, carefully garnered, was
thoroughly thrashed and securely housed.
The last sessions epitomized the work of
all the others and those who had been I'M
fortunate enough to Miss the earlier days
received their reward in the compact con-
densation of the whole.
Morning and afternoon the First Con-
gregational Church was crowded. At night
had not the stern old Gothic walls been
builded for all time, they must have
yielded to the enormous strain. Standing
room was out of the question. There was
not even hearing room. Hundreds and
hundreds were turned sadly away. Hun
dreds and hundreds more stood stolidly in
the entrance-ways. unable to see, fortunate
in the consciousness that, now and then,

word. Toward the end of the session so
great was the crowd that the heat of the
church became almost unbearable, and
only the extreme fortitude of the listeners
and the intense interest excited in them by
the speakers helped them bear up under
the temperature.
1t was gala night, for all the heat and
the crowding the officers of the congress
beaming with satisfaction as they looked
back on the weeks work. Far and beyond
their most sanguine expectations had been
the success of the congress. 1t had ex-
cited a wide interest, had occupied the
public mind to greater degree, had been
more productive of brilliant reasoning
than they had thought intuitive minds
capable of, and they were perfectly justified
in smiling and beaming and congratulate
ing one another.
The two honored guests of the congress,
Susan B. Anthony and the Rev. Anna H.
Shaw, were greeted with the most deafen-
ing applause as they appeared on the plat
form. and again and again during the
evening" when they set forth their views
on the subject in hand.
The session concluded the most brilliant
and successful week in work for woman in
the history of this or any other State, and
the congress has adjourned with the hope
for another, and this hope will be gratifed,
as announced by Mrs. Cooper, a year hence
with a two weeks session, with Miss An
thony and Miss Shaw IN attendance not
to speak of several other well-known work
ers in the cause of woman.

THE MORNING SESSION,
Evolution and Ignorance in Their
Connection With the Home
Discussed

The initial paper of the morning session
was made by Miss Lydia Bell of Oakland,
"The Evolution of the Home" She began
by speaking of the ancient architecture of
Greece, Egypt and Rome, contrasting
what we know of the time-incrusted ruins
and the structures of which they are the
historically honored relics with buildings
of modern times.
81 refer to the evolution of architecture,
because in it we have the evolution of the
home. Evolution means rolling out, by
which man attains his highest state. Ideas
obey the laws of evolution. 1t is always
the giving place of the wrong form to the
right; new forms are always taking the
place of the old.
1.-THE circle of any type of the law will be
in accordance with the depth and truth of
that type. Where does the evolution of
time begin? We must go to nature and to
natural law--to the animate and the in
animate. In the mineral world it is found
that two minerals will accommodate them
selves to each other and to their environ
ment. We can trace the same law through
the vegetable world. But we have never
constructed human home that can COM
pare with the home of the diamond or the
coral. We turn to the law of evolution to
find the possibility of mans advancement.
When he starts to make new homes or to
make new discoveries the home has
already been established in the idea and
the ideal. The idea of evolution is funda-
mental in the constitution of man and his
government. Homes are embryonic types
or functions in the circle of the law of evo-
luton. Not alone in massive arches and
architecture do we find the home, but in
that blessed peace and goodwill among
men that exist in the humblest walks OF
life.
Evolution makes US honest with our
selves. We have to admit that all are inn
mature in our development. The ancients
have left us ruins of their palatial homes
winch stand as monuments to the intel
iectual evolution of mankind. Invention,
which is the handmade of evolution, has
| reached the boundary of the unseen and
unknown; yea, and penetrated within it.
Religion, also, is in the law of evolution
and part of it. To what is the home
consecrated? l have been in palatial
homes where the furnishings were mag
nihcent, but starvation stalked through
the halls. No idea was expressed i'm
the furniture of those large and lofty
apartments. The hand was not there.
But on the other hand have been in the
ugliest shanty on the prairie and found
myself in the midst of perfect home.

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
Several Speakers Say That the
Modern Home Is Not
So Bad

Another overflow crowd damned the
First Congregational Church yesterday
afternoon, those not able to obtain admit
lance being reluctantly compelled to wend
their disappointed ways homeward, while
many who were fortunate enough to get
inside were compelled to stand for two
blessed hours listening to the proceedings
of the congress.

feel itself enriched by securing
his ministry. The pulpit is not his
throne; he is too much Of an all-around
man for that; he makes bis personality
felt in the Sunday school, devotional
meeting, his church social and in young
peoples societies, and yet mis- strength is
seen in the pulpit largely; in fresh topics,
original treatment, abundance OF
thought, felicitious -diction; sufficient,
ornate, and classical illustration.
Rev. JOHN s BRIpaFoRp is contribu-
tion to us from the Empire State, and
from the Troy conference. After a sue
cessful pastorate at Danielsonville,
Conn.,, securing fine parsonage there,
he comes to Hope Street, inspiring hope
of advance and prosperity. OF full
height, pleasant face, bright eye,
aud hair black as ravens wing,
Mr.. BRIDGFoRD bears Gods patent of a
noble Christian manhood. He believes
in the gospel as needing no modern
tinkering, having come from God like
Minerva from the brain of Jupiter, full
born. He is skillful in planning, max
ing harmony, and in adjusting difficult
ties. Not long is it before all his parish
find him to be the friend they need-not
petting aud coddling some to the neglect
of others. Bravely he holds his lance in
rest to give battle in the name of his King
"a lance never yet broken. When needed
he uses the knife OF surgeon, but his
chief work and chief delight is to use
the balm of Gilead, the healing balsam
of salvation full and Free. A hard
worker, fluent, fervid speaker and able
speaker, we prophesy success for him.
Rev. FLoRIUs l.. STREETER is the
new pastor of the Elgewood Church.
He comes from Sachem Street, Norwich,
CT, that church having united with the
other Methodist churches. He has the
advantage of being young and single.
he was graduated from Drew Theologi-
cal Seminary and began his ministry in
this Conference in Cape Cod in 1892,
doing successful work at Falmouth. He
is good singer, painstaking aud
faithful pastor, strong and superior
preacher. He has easy manners and
soul full of sympathy. His mental
energy and acumen seem almost too
much for his body to hold, and
yet his economy of vital forces will
answer the test. Though little sub
dued in his pulpit, he is ever magnetic
because of his thoughtful, direct. and
pungent addresses. He is practical
more than theoretical; heartfelt more
than perGunctory.
They are all fine fellows, these new
Methodist ministers, and we know they
will give us good work.

A NEW THING IN MEDICINE.

Another cure for consumption and
cancer has been discovered, this time
by DIR. LEWIS WALDsTEIN of New York
and Germany. The new treatment
consists in INJECTING minute doses of
pilocarpine until the Emphatic system
is stimulated and the white corpuscles of
the blood overcome the poisonous par
ticles which produce the disease"
Just what DR.. WALDsTEIN's method
is can hardly be grasped without fuller
information than has yet come from
across the water. The white corpuscles
in the blood are, we believe, generally
recognized as the great remedial agents
of the system and "a discovery looking to
their enrichment apparently gets down
to the fountain head of anti-toxic ac-
ton. When disease affects any part of
the system it is the theory, pretty
well demonstrated, we believe. that the
white corpuscles assemble there presum-
ably TO give battle to the bacteria and If
they are lusty enough the bacteria are
conquered and the disease destroyed.
IL they fail to win the contest the dis
ease bearing bacteria forces them back
and then spread through the system,
combating the discounted white cor
puscles until they are conquered at
every point and death ensues. DIR.
WALpsTEIN evidently believes that he
has discovered something to stimulate
these white corpuscles and keep them in
fighting shape until the bacteria are
routed.
Pilocarpine is an alkaloid, the active
principle of jaborandi, well known TO
medicine aud resorted to in Brights dis
ease. Ii is not. however, an agent for
general use, as its effects have not been
easily subject to regulation and, we be-
leve. il is considered dangerous. II
causes profuse perspiration and vomit-
ing. 1t has not been regarded as having
an especial action on the white COR
puscles, or on the blood at all.

Decatur sailed from New York in the

The President rated A She was heavily
laden for voyage, and even after light
ening the Endymion gained on her, final

bow guns. The President could not strike
the Endymion, owing to weak powder,
nor could she outsail her. Decatur pre-
pared to run down his enemy, seize her
by hand to hand fight, then abandon
his own vessel for the swifter Briton.
The commander of the Endymion, how
ever, kept his ship quarter of mile
distant from the President, but the
vessels, sailing abeam, exchanged broad.

Failing TO get chance to lay his ship

Meanwhile darkness came on. The En-

the latter had failed to penetrate, but
