An international women.s Congress-.

The Hon. Ettore Socci, member of
the Italian parliament, through the
pages of The Humanitarian asks if it
wo1ld not be possible to hold an interna-
tional women's congress in Rome in
1893 in order TO give prominence to the
woInen's movement, which is spreading
its ratnifications throughout the world.
He is an ardent advocate of the move
ment. The emancipation and higher
education of women, he declares, would
not destroy in her the feeling of wife
and mother, and still less would it I'M
dermine family life.

And the Old Unreconstructed Confederate
Took Pains To Make Them known.
Very many of the early settlers Of
Montana were natives of Missouri, Ken
lucky, Arkansas and the border states
of the war. They came by the Missouri
river to Fort Benton or by coach from
Omaha and for many years were in the
majority ut elections, when they held
the flag of Democracy to the masthead.
The result of this immigration was
strong sentiment for the confederacy in
the early days, and in 1878, when Gen
eral Phil Sheridan and staff made an
official visit to the northwestern posts,
the sentiment had not disappeared.
Helena, Mon, was just emerging from
the garb of mining camp, but few
enterprising citizens with Ex-Governor
Hauser at the head determined to give
a fitting reception to the visitors. A
delegation met Sheridan and his party
in stagecoach several miles from the
town and escorted them to the leading
hotel. On the following afternoon n
banquet was given in the First National
bank, located then in the present gam
bling district.
The menu consisted mostly of canned
goods, jack rabbit meat and fresh game,
because the town was remote from CIV
ilization. There was, however, plenty
of champagne, since that wine is usu-
ally found in mining camps even when
nothing in the way Of food is left but
flour. The gathering was very demo-
cratic. Everybody in town was invited

much grumbling among the unrecon-
structed Confederates over the display
made for Union general. There were
lawyers and mining camp politicians
mingled with gamblers, miners and ex-
road agents, many of whom wore six
shooters at their belts. Among them
was one old time Confederate soldier,
who had turned his talents from the
chivalry of war to dealing bank" He
was restless and uncomfortable during
the feast, and when the toasts began
this restlessness increased. His face
darkened and his eyes famed with an
ger as various toasts were given to the
United States, the president of the
United States and the army of the
United States.

He arose with wineglass in one hand
and six shooter in the other, and in a
voice hoarse with rage shouted:
Here's to all mankind, SO that no
ID fool Will be overlooked"
With that he dashed the wineglass on
the floor and emptied the six shooter
into the ceiling so that the roon wns
filled with smoke. The guests reached
for their revolrers, but the gambler,
with a look of contempt, returned his
gun" to his pocket and walked out.
General Sheridan afterward said that
it was one of the most dramatic and
suggestive scenes in all his experience.
