TOO AWFUL TO SEE
w. C. II. U. WOMEN EXPRESS THEIR
OPINIONS ON MANY SUB
JECTS
AND RAP RIGHT AND LEFT.
NEWSPAPER PICTURES OF THE
RECENT CONTEST AT CARSON
JUST HORRIBLE.
KALEIDOSCOPE CONDEMNED, TOT
While Even the Legislators and the
the Display of Ideas.

Two different meetings of the w. c..
L. U. women yesterday afternoon in
the different parts of the city discussed
municipal affairs with all the eloquence
of the experienced politician, stopping
between times to score the newspapers
for the pictures recently published of
the prize fight, and more particularly
the cartoon which appeared in one Of
the papers last week representing the
w. c. T. Z. women and the stand they
have taken in regard to the kinetoscope
exhibitions. Objections were also rails
ed to the pictures which they claimed
! had been displayed in several windows
about st. Paul. showing the condition
of the bodies of Fitzsimmons ond Cor
bett directly after the fight in Carson
City. The women who had seen the
pictures pronounced them as being too
awful for anything and the women
who had not seen them wondered how
awful that was.
The District W. G. T. L. met at the
| Hotel Windsor to take action on the
designations of the president, Mrs. NJ.
Mrs. J. P. Wright and incidantly to
IL,
during which the members said things
they didn't want reported about St.
Paul and her people in general and
which resulted in the passing of reso-
lutions relating to the cigarette bill, the
anti-pOOl bill, and the detention hos
pital bill. A recent newspaper cartoon
was discussed with lack of favor Mrs.
E. L. Farnsworth was elected to take
Mrs. Wright'S place as district Sec
rotary and Mrs. Bardwell, of Saltwater
was made superintendent of soldiers
and sailors. Room was reported as
having been secured at the state fair
grounds on which might be erected d
building for the society, the same to
cost about $780, The annual convention
will be held the last week in May.
Central w c. r. U. in the meantime
was holding just as interesting a meet
ing in the rooms of the St Paul Com
mons on Jackson street, and its mem
berS were Directing in just as strong
terms to about the same things their
sisters at the Windsor were. The WOm-
en- of the Central union objected par
ticularly to the prize fight pictures,
which they termed brutal, and pro-
nc unced their influence over the young
people as bad. Some of them didn't
know what a kaleidoscope was, but
whatever it was. they objected to II
any way. Some of the others were bet
ter Informed, and they also objected to
such an exhibition.
Mrs. Russell wished to take action
in the matter, but Mrs. Seymour
thought it rather useless, when, as she
put it 1.-The Legislature went to hear
about the fight" and she didn't give
the snap of her finger for such a legIS-
lature.
Mrs. w. w. Nichols read a paper on
the general public did not know the
actual moral condition of the city, at
the close of which the union decided to
hold weekly temperance meetings, the
first to take place April lat the home
of Mrs. M. A. Luley, SGT Martin street,
and to which all those who are inter-
ested in temperance work are cordially
welcome.
In an open discussion, the union de-
cided that the present reform admin
iStration was no better than the former
one, and that, furthermore, only two
ministers in the city were preaching
facts. The ministers will be made wei
come to the meeting in April and 1T Is
expected both they and the unions may
be benefited by such intercourse.
Mrs. Addie BiXby Upham was pres
ent and presented a petition which all
the members signed, asking the legfs,
lature to take favorable action on the
detention hospital bin The meeting
was we'll attended Miss Walker pre-
sided.
