club and the Harmony club, all organ
izatiOns composed of ladies.
In the election of a treasurer for the
assOcia ton, H. L. Shirer was nOnli-
mated and unanimously elected.
The next meeting will be held Thurs
day evening at the MOdoc club rooms.
At this time each musical Orga MIA
ton will announce it's selection of
members for vice presidents and for
members of the programme committee.
H. V. Hinckley suggested that it
would be a good plan to make an eff
fort to get the Ottawa combined cho-
rus in Topeka for the opening week of
the auditorium. There are II or IA of
these chOruses and they are all drilling
on the Creation" These choruses
could probably be induced to come to
Topeka provided the opening week is
placed for Festival week. This would
give them a chance to attend the fes-
tivities and the people would benefit by
it.
The Topeka chorus will no doubt do
very well, but if 1000 voices could be
secured for the time, it would result
in bringing a large number of people
to Topeka, and it would add greatly to
the success of the musical programme.
The work of the Auditorium Musical
Festival association is now well in
hand. When the conference committee
shall have arranged the work with the
Commercial club, then the work can be
and will be pushed to a definite end.

MRS. FORD'S LECTURE.
Talks to Kansas Women on the Re
lations of Rich and Poor.

Kansas City, April 16.-NIrs. Mary
Ford of Chicago talked to the women
Of Kansas City yesterday afternoon on
the relations of the rich and poor.
1T is not charity said Mrs. Ford,
sit is the need of an Interchange of mu-
tual interest. Outward morality is
purely a thing of form and environ
ment. People are always a living il
lustration of the station they are placed
in. 1t is possible to be educated in all
the things pertaining to good form and
yet be essentially vulgar"
Speaking of the plans to feed as well
as educate these people the speaker
said: You know there is not the
slightest use to preach to a hungry
man. If you wish to educate these
children, they must be fed. And the only
reason these conditions exist in this
day is because people do not know
these things. What you read about,
you do not know as you know when
you go among these people and see and
know for yourself the awful desOlation
and the horrors that exist there"
Mrs Ford advocated the living in the
Patch" of some one of the wealthy
philanthrOpic people, as had been done
in the settlements in Chicago, and from
the look of agreement with this some
what startling suggestion, visible on
the faces of several well known mem
bers of Kansas City's 400 there is no
doubt that rents and prices for desira-
bic corner lots in that perfume laden
section of the city will rise immediate

MRS. THEO. Triton DEAD.
The News Has Been Kept From the
Public Since Tuesday.

New York, April 16.-Mrs. Elizabeth
r. Tilton, the wife Of Theodore Tflton,
died on Tuesday last at her home in
Brooklyn. The news of her death was
not made public until today. Since
the famous Beecher trial she had lived
in strict retirement. In recent years
she had shared her home with her
widowed daughter. Even the fact of
her death was kept secret, and there
are no external signs of mourning
about the house where her body lies.
Theodore Tilton, her husband, is in
Paris, where he has lived ever since
the trial. For a long time Mrs. Til
ton was almost totally blind, but less
than a year ago she underwent a diff
cult operation and regained her sight.
Then, about a month ago, she suffered
a paraIytic stroke, from which she was

Crew Of o German Tank Steamer Picked
Up at Sea.
Halifax, N. s.. Feb. 26.-The German
tank steamer Diamant, from a Euro
pean port for New York, which is fif-
teen days overdue, has been picked up
by the steamer British Empire. Both
vessels are off this port. and are slowly
making their way for the Halifax har-
Dor.
On Feb. q the steamer Galileo ar
rived at Boston and reported the loss
Of the Diamant, which the Calico had
been towing. Captain Booth of the
Galileo reported picking UP the Dia-
mant helpless in midocean on Feb. 10.
and towing her 600 miles. only to lose
her in a hurricane, in which she ap-
parently stood no show of surviving.
The Diamant had lost her propeller,
and had been helpless for several days
when picked up by the Calico.
After seven days effort to make Hal
flax harbor with the disabled steamer,
storm sprung up, the hawsers
snapped, and the vessel was soon lost
to sight. The Calico hovered about for
eighteen hours. but her officers did not
see the Diamant again, and there was
10 doubt in their minds that she foun-
dered. The Diamant was under COM
mand of Captain Wischausen, and car
ried crew of thirty-five men. She
left Bremerhaven Jan. %.

Flood at Cincinnati About at Its
Highest Point.
ABOVE THE QUEEN CITY,

Bat Rising at All Points Bel0w-Hun-

Living Above Damp Cellars, and Dozens
OF Industries Waiting ON the Coming
Tumble Of the Waters-Charity Busy
Relieving Distress at Home.
Cincinnati, Feb. 26.-At midnight for
four hours the river had been rising half
an inch hourly. It's midnight stage was
SO feet 10h inches, and still rising half
an inch per hour. 1t is barely possible
that 81 feet may be reached. 1t is
estimated that 5000 workmen in Gin
cinnati and the Kentucky towns and
cities opposite here have been thrown
out Of employment by the stoppage Of
of inundated factories, to say nothing Of
those kept from work by inundated
houses. The facories stopped by flood in
Cincinnati are most numerous in Mill
Creek valley. They are mostly foundries,
machine shops and carriage factories.
Last night the Queen City race track
on the Licking river above Newport
was under water. and the base ball
park in Cincinnati was in the same
predicament. The flood is drawing nu-
merous sight-seers here from the in
terror of Ohio and Indiana, for whom
some railroads have made special rates.
Danger in Flooded Towns Over.
The sky here is cloudy and the
mercury rising. At all river points from
Pittsburg to Maysville the river is fall
ing very rapidly. Everywhere above
here navigation is resuming. In most
places only small local boats can move
on account of the river bridges; how
ever, two regular boats started from
Parkersburg last night, one up stream
for Pittsburg and one down for Cincin-
natl. At Portsmouth boats are assist
ing the crippled railways in carrying
mails and passengers. Danger is over
in all the inundated uo river towns.
Suffering at Portsmouth, where it was
greatest, is diminishing. The sam may
be said of Huntington, Catlettsburg.
Hanging Rock, Aberdeen and Maysville,
where the inundation drove out hun
dreds OF families.
Home Charity Is Sufficient. :
Charity at home in all OF these places
is prompt to provide for the unfortunate
whom it is periodically called upon to
care for during big floods in the Ohio.
From Maysville down to Cincinnati the
flood is at its worst. Below Cincinnati
the tributaries are all falling rapidly,
and though the river is very full the
high tide current of ten to twelve miles
an hour is carrying the water down
very rapidly. No serious losses of prop
erty or life have been reported from
up river points within the last thirty
hours. Right here in Cincinnati and
vicinity the situation is at.its worst. All
the railroads are leaving from their
regular depots, except those entering
| the Grand Central, and they use the
Eighth street station.
