MEETING OF SOROSIS.
Mary Dame Hall Calls Atten ton to
the PROGRESS of Women.

New York April 12.-Sorosis held it's
first meeting of the seaEOn Saturday af-
ternoon, and Mrs. Mary Dame Hall, the
new president, presided with much
grace and ease, while Mrs. Helmuth
took her place in the audience with
equal naturalness.
Before introducing the leaders of the
discussion Mrs. Hall made a short ad-
dress, in which she called attention to
the progress of women, and by way of
contrast she quoted a section from an
unrepealed law of New Jersey, enact
ed while it was still a British colony,
to the effect that any woman, VIVA teVer
might be her estate, who should betray,
seduce or entice into matrimony any of
his majesty's subjects by means of
cosmetics, false hair, artificial teeth or
other aid whatever should incur the
penalty of the law against Whichcraft
and similar denominations.
The question of the days discussion
was HAS American Literature in Its
Development Formed a Distinct School,
or is 1t but the Reflection of Foreign
Infiuences?"
1t was presented by the chairman of
the committee on literature, Mrs. Lee
c. Hardy, who inclined decidedly to the
affirmative.
She admitted that America had alb
sorbed the traits of many lands, but as
serted that these had been naturalfzed
like her citizens, and that the whole
had a distinct individuality. Mrs. Har-
by is serving her second term as chair
man of the committee on literature.
Mrs. Loveland labOred to prove that
not much in the way of literature could
be expected from the descendants of
Puritans.
These amiable people, she said, who
broke images and destroyed pictures in
the old world and disfigured
the Psalms of David, if the new, since
there was no other work of art in the
wilds of New England on which they
could vent their feelings. could not be
expected to transmit much literary abiI-
ity to pOsterity.
Miss BeastOn said:
Locality does not make literature,
for Dante and Milton, you remember,
wrote of hell. Literature is based on
three great factors-religiOus traditions,
political conditions and the relations of
the sexes Our religious traditions are
those of England; the relations of the
sexes among US were developed by An
CLOS Saxon civilization; and our political
conditions are based on the three great
English charters. We are the children
of England, and our literature cannot
be different from that of our mother
country"

CHILDREN OFF THE STREET
Public School Buildings Will Be Used
for Clubs by New York Boys
and Girls.

buildings can be utilized evenings by
clubs OF boys and girls, according to the
decision of Corporation Counsel Scott Civ
en- yesterday:
These clubs a number of which are now
in progress of organization, are intend ed
to keep children off the streets and at the
same time give them instructive amuse-
ments. They will not be night schools,
but simply clubs which young people can
frequent and where, if they choose, they
may have debates, listen to lectures or
pass away an hour or SO in palying par
lor games. The main object of the clubs
struct boys and girls who are now forced
to resort to the Streets. There are to be
no teachers to teach and no lessons to
learn at the clubs. The expenses of the
clubs are to be borne by the Good Gov
eminent clubs and the Public Education
society, and also by private subscriptions.

sary that all men shall have work to do
which shall be worth doing, and be OF
itself pleasant to do, and which should
be done under such conditions as would
make it neither OVer-WeariSOme or over
anxious"
I think it is a fair claim. AS see our
people working they are tired and anx-
iOuS A man is afraid of losing his job.
I want sufficiency for the day and Sc
curity for the morrow. The man who
40 years ago worked for $50 year
watched another mans job-he under
bid a boy. An American who will con-
sent to live on $50 a year is not fit to
live.
The socialists says that work is nee
essary but hard, dangerous and repul-
sive, ought to have short hours and
higher wages and be shared by all. Pork
eaters have no right to keep one man
six days in the week all the weeks of
the year around sticking pigs. We have
no right to make a victim of one man
make him do all the repulsiYe work for
a hundred families. The socialist says
that if butchering is necessary let each
do his share of it. have no right to
protest my delicate, sensitive refined,
high bred self at the expense of anoth-
err compelling him to be coarser and
rough.
The socialist insists upon shorter
working hours for workingmen and on
working hours for all men. He would
do away with the genteel loafers of both
sexes, and so get rid of the scandals
1t has been said that the saloon is the
poor mans club house, and that the
club house is the rich mans saloon.
One has as much right to be open on
Sunday as the other Wealth under the
law has nothing to do with thirst.
Under socialism what would do with
a man like Rockefeller? Put him in the
cabinet making him minister of oil at
a good salary. Carnegie? Make him
minister of stee1-at a good salary.
Huntington seems to have a faculty for
railroads. Make him minister of rail-
roads at a salary. Make Armour min
lister of beef And so put every man in
the line of his faculty at salary and
get rid of millionaires and tramps. Both
men are alike a nuisance. In good
society neither will appear. 1 am ask
ing only for a comfortable world.
There is unhealthy congestion of
money. 1t is not good for the heart of
mankind and it is not good for the ex-
tremities Circulation is better for
heart and head, and hands and tips of
fingers.
There must be a beginning. Why not
here in Denver try socialism? The con-
solicitation of kitchens and laundries, one
for a neighborhOod. one playground for
the children of neighborhood. Boston
Common suits me. 1 prefer it to any
individual private back yard on earth
1t is within our power to make Denver
more of a home, not a friendless soul
in it. Not an idle man saying sadly, no
man hath hired me.
It is not comfortable world while

Baby Cried Night and Day

Scrofulous Eruptions
Grew Worse Under Treatment Till We
Gave Her Hoods sarsaparilla-she
Has Rosy Cheeks Now.

When my baby was two months
old she cried night and dav. and
seemed to be in great pain. She had
a discharge from her ears, and the top
of her head broke out in scrofulous
eruptions. The doctor gave me some
thing to stop the discharge and ease
the pain, but his treatment did not
cure her and we were sorry to see
She Crew Worse
instead of better. The top of her
head broke out with scrofula, A
crust would form on her head and fall
off, taking the hair along with it,
and this continued for two or three
months, when something seemed to tell
me to try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and 1
did so, together with Hoods Pills
and Hoods Olive Ointment. Soon
The Discharge Stopped
and the sores were rapidly healing.
In short time her hair grew out and
she now has rosy cheeks and is all
right in every way.'' Mrs. 1. LLOYD,
