POETRY,

Miss Florence L. Snow, a Kansas
lady. who is. we believe, the professor
OF literature and bellies letters In one
OF the educational institutions OF that
state. offers through Messrs. Way &
Williams, Chicago, a poem Of merit en-
titled "The Lamp Of God" 1t Is cast
IN the iambic pentameter form, with
alternating rhymes, and il an evolution
of the following theme:
The life that holdeth love a thing apart
From any slightest labor must disclose
The utter weakness Of the rarest art
Its dearest aspirations ever knows,
Who does not give in constant sacrifice
The buoyant blood that courses through
his veins
Has less than naught for all his best en-
prise
In righteous ruling of his utmost pains,
For without love no worthy work may be,
And without death creative power were
done:
Herein there lies all happy victory.
And here all growth and gladness are
begun.
Cast in mould beyond fleck or flaw
'Tis only love that can fulfill the law.
The book Is handsomely printed by
DeVinne on Marias hand made paper
and has an attractive title page de.
signed by Edmund H. Garrett.

Riding out on December 8, 1895, to q little
country cottage in the pine woods, mile
distant from Iron Station, the reporter saw
a bright.faced, young woman, pure anglo
saxon type with light hair and blue eyes,
standing in the doorway with two plump,
rosy-cheeked children half hiding behind
her dress. Mentioning that he was looking
for a family Of Robinsons, the woman
seemed ut first little suspicious.

mUlnERLESS INSTITUTIONS.

Published by request of the American
Woman Suffrage -Associationl
In most states in this Union women can
not be appointed trustees OF public insti-
tutions. because such trustees must be
electors. There have been men, who kept
house for themselves or had only men SER
wants In their bachelor quarters, and yet
neither they, nor their friends ever
thought of these houses or flats as homes |;
men have kept house but they never have
made homes. Women are the home
makers and home-keepers. This charac-
teristic of woman is Just as important IN
the state as in the family. Men would
think 1t grave error II no one but women
served on the board OF trustees OF soldiers
homes, II only women were physicians In.
and superintendent of such homes. The
writer smiles as she imagines what flu
rore would be crea ted If all public insti-
tutions should suddenly be taken out (f
mems hands and put in'women's. No wo-
man would want such a thing to happen.
The writer believes that all public insti-
tutions, schools, libraries. lunatic asylums.
soldiers homes, etc, should have women
trustees, directors, or whatever the term
may be for such officers. but she is q
little more radical than many women.
However she cannot see how any woman
can cease from making effort to have wo-
men trustees on boards q all public insti-
tuti0ns, where women end children live
whether It IL q lunatic asylum or a chill
dren's home. A most pitiable sight Is q
number of motherless children, whose
father alone Is trying to plan for their fu-
ture. Yet just such q man who knows
that some woman must help him out with
his family cares, does not seem to think
that the principle applies as we'll to the
state.
In many states women have besieged leg
islatures until boards Of visitors have been
appointed. These boards. however, have
neither responsibility nor authority. They
visit the Institutions when they are ex-
pected and must report or make sugges-
tiOns In writing to the trustees. The trus-
tees need take no notice of such report.
They occupy about such u position as u
formal caller would to the inotherless fam
ily above mentioned Such caller might
be sympathetic and interested. but her
help would be of little value because OF the
relation she bore to the family. The
writer doubts IL a board of visitors does
any good except to accustom men to see
ing women about such institutions and to
'accustom women to serve on such boards
The time is surely coming when women
and men will serve together as trustees
then will all the details OF the home be un-
derstood by all the members of the board.
Then will woman's tenderness. her mother
heart be felt, then will many unfortunate
women and children be happier and
healthier Then will the state find that
the small economies which women prac-
tice In the home will be practiced In the
state-Harrie Taylor Upon.

There is mutiny in the camp of the
Ninth ward Republican club the po-
litical organization which some time
ago combined all lesser forces of Re-
publicanism in the ward into one
grand consolidation for the general
good. The organization, composed of
native-born citizens, which had hith-
erto styled itself the Ninth Ward Re-
publican club, joined hands and issues
with the Swedish and Polish Repub-
lican clubs of the ward, at a recent
meeting.
1t now transpirea that the Swedish
element of the grand aggregation, in
Guiding some of the other members, are
sick of their bargain. Mr.. Anderson,
with Nelson-Tenney & Co., is said to be
the prime mover in the revolt, and he
and some of the others met last even
ing at Carpenters hall, 1880 Central
avenue, and aired their grievances.
They claim that certain few of the
big club are trying to run things to
suit themselves and that the club in
stead of being broad in its scope, under
the management of the certain few,
partakes too largely of the nature of
ward politics, and will be used for the
political ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the leaders.
The committee On arrangements of
the Ninth Ward Republican club prop
er met last evening at 500 Monroe street
northeast and discussed arrangements
for the rousing political demonstration
which the club proposes to hold on the
evening of March 16, the next regular
meeting. The speakers to be invited
are G. L. Smith, Robert Stratton and
B. c. Gibbons. The speakers are known
to favor different presidential candi-
dates, and for this reason the meet
ing will not be all one way, and will
be of still more interest than otherwise.
The meeting will be held at Carpenters
hail.
ooh, they're a lot of sore-heads,"
said one of the committeeman, in refer
ence to the boilers. They're worry
ing themselves about a fancied griev-
ance they have against the rest of us.
If the papers don't give them too much
attention L guess they won't do much
hurt"

from impurities and the nerves REIN
vigorated at this season. Hence the
establishment of the custom of taking
good spring medicine
This most sensible and healthy GUS
tom is followed by almost everybody
at the present day, few people of intel
nSence Venturing to go through this
trying time Of change from winter to
summer without taking a spring medi-
cine.
The unanimity on this subject is a
settled fact; the only question hereto
fore has been in regard to what is the
best thing to take. The people are now
fast becoming unanimous in their de-
clsion that as a spring tonic and re-
Storat1Ve, DR.. GreeneS NerVura blood
and nerve remedy is e-eminently the
best.
Year after year DR.. Greenes Nervura
blood and nerve remedy has proved
itself the surest, most positive and re-
liable remedy. Made from pure, vege-
table medicines, it invariably cleanses
purifies and enriches the blood, MAX
ing the blood rich and red and at the
same time, by it's invigorating effects,
giving strength, power, vitality and en-
ergy to the nerves.
In fact, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood
and nerve remedy has proved itself the
most perfect OF medicines and just
what everybody needs for a spring
remedy. Try it this pring.

YIELDING AT OTTAWA.
Prospect of "a Compromise on the
Manitoba Issues.

OTTAWA. Ont, March 9-The Manitoba
school question assumed a new and interesting
phase today when Sir Chrales Upper arose
in the house of commons and read telegram
from Premier Greenway, of Manitoba to Sir
Donald Smith. who recently visited Winni-
peg upon mission of peace. Greenway's tel
egram was in reply to one from Sir Donald
and said:
Winnipeg. Manitoba, March Your tele-
gram has received most careful consideration
from myself and colleague and while fully
approaching all you say, it is quite clear to
US that we can only proceed to Ottawa for
the purpose of holding conference on the
official invitation of the dominion govern
ment. I fully appreciate your very kind Of
fees in this natter
Sir Charles added ''In view of the assur-
ances that the government, of Manitoba is
willing to have a conference the dominion
government proposes. so soon as the second
reading of the remedial bill is carried to have
conference with Mr.. Greenway's government
with the view of arriving at a settlement of
this question on terms, that will be satisfac-
tory to his government and the minority of
Manitoba, but in the'tmeantime to proceed
with the question before the house de die in
diem previously arranged"
A triumphant shout wentdup from the Lib
eral side of the house, for the statement was
regarded as the governments first retrogres-
sive step since enteringj upon its coercive pol
icy. -,
