rich life through this organization we
know as the woman's club"
The next address was by Miss Sabin.
president of the Milwaukee, Downe
college. She said that she felt it the
opportunity OF lifetime to meet the
women who had gathered to form an
association that should do such work
az the federation will undoubtedly
do. II come before you not as a club
woman but as the representative CT
the only woman's college, and | wish
to speal: Of the relation Of the woman :
club TO the great educational move
mcnt Of the day. The relation OF
club work TO he higher life OF women
is very important and Is adding to the
broad and catholic view OF life that
women are taking. We need no
now envy men from those lines from
which women are excluded, because
I'm many cases these lines shut one out
from participation IN much thai makes
life worth living.
Mrs. Charles Fenrotin Of Chicago
general president, delivered an inter
emIng address. Speaking Of the state
she said an Wisconsin charity IS SO
wisely dispensed by the state that
there Is no need OF you as club women
doing much in that line but the public
schools and the travelling library plan
seem cmincntly fitted for you, with
your widely scattered districts and
Lot cd h1pa
and there with small communities.
Then, there awaits you at the start a
glorious opportunity to show your
work by taking part In the proposed
celebration Of your states semi-cen
tcnnial anniversary. If may be al
lowed to suggest from my own eXper-
fence, would advise you to take a
hint from the work Of the Columbian
exhibition in Chicago and get up an
exhibit Of local history No state
in all the northwest is so rich in his
torlca interest as Wisconsin and such
u work would repay your efforts.
The constitution says the organiza-
ton shall be called the Wisconsin
State Federation OF Women's clubs,
and It's object shall be to bring
the women's clubs and the city fcder-
ations of the state into communica
ton for acquaintance and mutual
helpfulness. Constitutions of club
applying for membership show that
no sectarian or political test is re-
quired, and that while distinctly hu'
l,.,
ognIzcd, thcI" chief purpose Is not
phlIanthropic or technical but social,
literary. scientific or artistic culture.

Pacific coast are large and freight room
for over half IA million bushels per day
has been engaged ahead for some time.
The Atlantic exports have been about
nine hundred thousand bushels larger
than last year for the same week. II
is worthy of note that the western

Leather has risen lla per cent. with a
general demand, though mostly In
hemlock, sole and uuiCn. The buying
of besscmer pig at Pittsburg causes a
slight advance, and al markets are
strong for pig but not for finished

beingthe Lady Define. by Reynolds,
which Mr.. G. Wertheimer bought two

it ever WAS in the days that are past.

These are hard facts. but We might
