LONDON. Oct, 29-The Times today
publishes a three column article on the
proposed ship canal-to join the Allan
tic and Pacific oceans, through the re-
public OF Nicaragua.
The article is written by A. r. Coluue-
houn. correspondent who was specially
sent by the Times to Nicaragua. Ia
Nicaragua Mr.. Coiquehoun met the
United States commission and is under
stood to have thoroughly studied the
plans for the inter oceanic waterway.
He arrived at the conclusion that
the project cannot be carried through
as a private enterprise, but that
it must be under the auspices of some
strong government" which without
doubt must be the United States. The
Times correspondent is convinced, how
ever, that the cost of cutting the sug-
gested waterway will be nearer $780,
100000 than $100,000,000.
MIR. Colquehoun also inspected the
route of the proposed canal through the

A short discussion on 'fThe Needs of a
Reformatory for Women" was led by
Miss "a Adams.
Miss Adams had sent queries to sew
eraI lawyers, asking why, women figure
SO largely, comparatively speaking, in
the lower courts, and yet so few in pro-
portion are found in the penitentiaries?
MIR A. II. Case gave it as his opinion
that the penalties for the crimes which
brought women into the lower courts
were made light. because men. the
makers of laws were not likely to make
those which would incriminate them for
offenses of which they were more guilty
than women are.
Mrs. Huron had consulted Mrs. Thorpe
and found her enthusiastically in favor
of a reformatorv. believing that such an
institution would benefit the city of To-
peka. and lessen and decrease crime.
Mrs Thorpe SAYS she could supply within
five weeks thirty depraved women, who
are willing and ready to change their
habits of life.
The members of Sorosis passed a reso-
luton to send congratulations to Pro-
fessor aud Mrs. L. d. Whittemore on the
birth of a daughter.

We think it unfortunate for speakers
and writer's to belivtle deacons. As a class
the deacons are the best men we have, ex-
cept the preachers and many deacon is
better than many a preacher. If the proc
ess CT belittling deacons keeps on, no good
man will be willing to be a deacon, and
then where will we be? The Chinese put
contempt upon soldiers, and when the
time came that China needed good soldiers
she did not have them. She reaped as she
had sown. All deacons are not what they
should be, and neither are theological pro-
fessors, but we honor the Baptist deacons.
They hold positions of grave responsibility
and do great good.-Louisville Western

CHICAGO ENTERPRISE.
Clubs for Working Women Conducted on
a Sensible Plan.

Clubs for Working Women Conducted on
a Sensible Plan.
Much has been said and written
about the young women who are
obliged to earn their living by working
down town. At best their lot is not a
bed of roses, but, says the Chicago
Chronicle, with the cooperation of the
club known as the Alpha club-or,
rather, Alpha branch of the Greek Let
ter club-these young women are made
as comfortable and happy as one who
is domiciled in the lap of luxury and
ease. The organization was formed
December IS, 1894, under the personal
supervision of Mrs. John w. Thomas,
who was member of the Klio club.
She thought the quarters at the "Noon-
day Rest" too small and determined to
open another establishment of the
same kind. The two upper floors of
the new Athenaeum building on Dear
born street were rented and fitted up
in excellent and comfortable style. A
large, perfectly appointed reception
room and an immense room used as a
library are tastefully equipped with
everything to rest the body and de-
light the eye. The library contains q
large number of the finest books, the
latest periodicals and daily papers,
while on the tables boxes of paper and
writing utensils are placed for the use
of the club members.
Great rugs, dainty bits of bric-a- brac,
old mosaics, Indian pottery, antiques
including an old Dutch clock-choice
paintings, large collection of curios
arranged by thoughtful and refined
hand give the club the appearance of a
splendid home rather than the cold,
uncomfortable feeling of the usual
clubhouse.
The north room is used as refectory,
and here, seated at small tables, at the
noon hour from 800 to 500 women take
their luncheon each day. The bill of
fare is a curiosity as far as the price
list is concerned. Soup with crackers
costs 5 cents; all kinds of hot meats, 5
cents; vegetables, 5 cents; pies, per cut,
4 cents, and SO on, no one article ex-
cceding the sum of five cents. The
usual Cost of meal for each woman is
IA cents. This is the maximum cost.
