First Service of tho Anniversary in the
Grand Opera House Sunday AfIernoon.fa
The Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation began the celebration of its
first anniversary by holding meeting
in the Grand Opera House Sunday
afternoon. The Rev. j. II. Milligan
presided. After the singing of the
church rallying song. and the offering
of prayer by the Rev. DIR. STATES of
Pennington, N. j., the scripture lesson
was read by Mr. Milligan. The clergy
man then spoke of how the Christian
women in the time of Christ looked
after His wants Tho speaker said
that the women of to-day should seek
out what is most needful to the hap
piness Of others and do it. lie declared
that the Y. w. c.. A. is dong that
work and deserves great credit for it.
The Rev. Lafayette Marks, ID. D.,
made the point that whereas the people
of to-day are apt to think that woman
never found her place until this latter
part Of the Ninteenth century, yet a
reading of the Gospel discloses the fact
that women were organized hundreds of
years ago. They did not hold 30 many
meetings, but were very much in
earnest. He said that the young
women of to day can settle the great
moral, political and religious ques-
tions, and urged the people of Will
mington to support the organization.
The Rev. L. j. Mason held that the
women are not being supported as they
should be. He told how the associa-
tion is trying to save the girls of the
city. and of the effort that is being
made to educate the poor women and
fit them for life's battles. He held that
the organization was necessity here.
The following ladies, officers of the
association, had chargeof the anniver-
sary exercises: Mrs. j. r. Milligan,
President; Mrs. G. S. Capelle, Vice
President; Mrs. Thomas Slavery, Vice
President; Mrs. Merrick Horn, Core

Philadelphia, March H. Lawyer
William A. Shoemaker. who was senior
counsel for ii. II. Holmes, and who
was charged with subortlination of pur-
jury in connection with the Holmes
case, was to-day, by decision of the
court Of oyer and terminer, suspended
from the privileges of the court for one
year. Shoemaker got woman to sign
a false affidavit to the effect that
Pitezel, the man murdered by Holmes,
had, in her presence, expressed an In
tention to commit suicide. A general
sensation was produced when Shoe
maker offered this evidence in court in
the course of his argument for new
trial for Holmes and District Attorney
Graham exposed the conspiracy by
means of which the evidence was OBJ
tanned.

but il is true. ] don't like to think OF
little Miss Chatter, who is going to
marry your son or your neighbours son,
coming into a sick room with bust
ness like air, feeling your pulse and
making a doubtful statement. Oh, L
am glad il she can be nurse; L am
glad IL her fingers, so cool and soft,
can touch the hot forehead and make it
seem better, but don't fancy women
lawyers and women doctors and women
preachers.
woMAN's LOYALTY TO MAN.
l think we want something bigger,
physically, than ourselves, to fill these
positions. Men may not compare with
us mentally, but they are greater; and,
no matter what you say, you will have
TO acknowledge that this is true, physi-
cally. They were built that way and
we can talk about a new woman and a
new century, and everything else new
that we like, but it is the old man that
we stick to. That one whose arms are
strong enough to enfold us, when we
are happy; that one who is tender
enough to sympathize with us, when
we are unhappy, and that one who is
enough man and enough boy to be q
rock of refuge In trouble, and an in
teresting companion at all other times.
They are always talking about the new
woman, and never about the new man.
Thank goodness for this For genera
lions back, the same type of man has
satisfied the best of women-the man
who is honest because it ia right; the
man who is big, mentally and physi-
cally because he is man; and the man
who is tender and loving and con
siderate because you are woman, and
he loves you; and in that love he has
queer little pity for you, because you
are woman; and yet he wouldn't love
you if you were anything else. II ere's
to the old man You loved him; your
neighbor loved him; and, with all his
faults and all his virtues, and because
he is what he is, he is ardently loved
| by Bah.

Before Chancellor Nicholson Friday
Thomas Davis, attorney for Walter s.
Massey and James M. Hall, executors
of William Massey, and Fanny M.
Massey, widow of William Massey,
presented petition asking that John
II. Danny and Ohio Rowland, as
signees of Head & Co., and Daniel w.
Talyor and Edwin II. Gayley, the
members of the firm be restrained by
the court from delivering or disposing
of a deed for lot of land on French
street below Fifth to any one but the
complainants. 1t appears from the
petition that the compliments owned
the lot and gave deed for it, as they
understood that Samuel Sternberger,
who was represented by Head & Co,
would purchase it for 81, 400. Shortly
afterwards they we're informed by Head
e. Co. that no sale had been made.
The petitioners aver that no such sale
has ever been made and they have
demanded return Of the deed to them.
The Chancellor granted the restraining
order and made the rule returnable on
Monday, March sd. The defendants
may not dispose of the deed until the
further order of the Court.

Concerning tho stand taken by Gen.
Hart in refusing to enter into an argu-
ment to explain why Capt. Wiswell has
not been commissioned major of the
First Regiment, N. G. D., a local
member of the guard, who is we'll ar-
quainted with Gen. Hart and his admir-
able method of doing his duty, made the
following statement Sunday: "Adju-
tant- General Hart very properly makes
no comment upon n recent falsely based
and insolent criticism in the editorial
columns of Milford paper. 1t is very
easy to stand in the crowd and with
shallow information hellow petty CEN
sure of the conduct of responsible public
officers. l venture to suggest to Gen.
Hart that he owes it as public duty
to continue without deviation the policy
of exacting high standard of intelli-
gence and efficiency for officers of the
National Guard. 1t has lately been
attended with signal success.
