They Organized a Nine.

Nine Elkton young ladies residing on West
High Street have organized mystic circle, in
which masculines are debarred from member
ship, and who are naturally regarding the
proceedings with wondermcnt and not Il little
awe. All that is known by the initiated is
that the circle is designated by the initials
|. F. f., the significance of which can only
be conjectured. Some of the gentlemen who
are much attached to certain members fear
that the girls have resolved themselves into
an ant-marrying organization under the
name of Independent Free Females. Those
on bad terms with the circle claim that the
letters signify lncOntrolable Fighting Females
and are sore afraid that the Amazonian
period is again at hand. Still others who
claim to know the organizers to be jolly
and well disposed set, assert that the letters
mean that they are In For Fun. and that it is
Il pleasure club and not at all anarchistic or
proscriptiye They further say that the males
are denied membership just because they will
not permit the girls to join their base ball
clubs, so the former We're compelled to organ

ANTARCTIC ExPEDIT. ON.
Geographical Congress Calls ON Ex-
plOrers to Go South.

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The international
geographical congress to-day adopted the
resolutions of the vice presidents, recon-
mending Berlin for the next meeting OF
the congress in 1896. Previous to the de-
cision being arrived Ct to hold the next
session of the international geographical
congress in Berlin the Norwegian explor.
err, Borchgrevimk, concluded his account OF
the voyage which he made to the ant
arctic regions and said he believed there
existed in the south a continent having an
area of about S.O00.0 900 miles and contain
ing many animals unknown to the inhabi-
tants of the southern hemisphere. In con-
cusion he said that the time was now
ripe for an expedition to the antarctic re-
gions.
The congress passed resolution to the
effect that explorations of the antarctic
regions formed the greatest work still to
be undertaken and that In view or the
addition OF knowledge TO every branch Of
science which would result from such ex-
ploration the congress desires the scientific
societies of the world to. urge, in the most
effective manner, that the work be under
taken before the close of the century.
