The Club May Have Its History Written
Next Year.

The delegates meeting of the Union
was fairly we'll attended on Friday after
noon, but there was no business of spec
ial Importance to be transacted. Mrs.
Frederick Jones, in absence of Mrs
Moore, read the minutes of the last meet
of 500. so, to the credit of the W. L. U.
The members present heard with much
pleasure that they were to have the pros
pect of listening to paper on Paris,
by Miss Deborah Morton, on Saturday
afternoon, March 10Th. This meeting is
to be of social character as well, such
as was enjoyed on New Years afternoon,
and will be held, as usual, in the vestry
of Pine street church. No doubt there
will be O good majority OF the members
present. Mrs. Clark made an allusion
to the approaching annual meeting, add
ing that she had heard an expression
from some of the ladies as to the advisa :
bility of emitting, or at least modifying,
the reports of the clubs at that meeting
In response, Mrs. T. j. Brown spoke of
Uu0 CDdu&0 III CiISuuLcuoLCCoy oiAtSO oiC
beginning of the Union, when there were
but few clubs, and the members knew
but little of each others work, that now,
there were SO many it would practically
take two afternoons to hear from all. So,
in view of this, she would move that the
reports of the clubs be abbreviated and
put into the general report of the secre-
tary. Mrs. Osgood rose and said she con-
CURED most heartily with what Mrs.
Brown said in regard to the changed
conditions of the Union, but, as in its
early days there was no "club column"
the reports seemed necessary, while now,
that practically all the doings of the clubs
were chronicled in one paper or the other,
she would move to amend by substitu-
ton that the reports of the clubs be
omitted at the annual meeting This
amended motion was carried unanimous
ly. The Chair spoke of another sugges-
ton which had come to her, of rather a
new character, which was the writing
of history of the Union, and asked for
some expression of opinion from the mem
bers present in regard to it. 1t was
moved that somebody should be selected
to write this history for the coming
annual meeting, but after some little
discussion as to the shortness of time
to prepare such history, and the greater
fitness of having it read at the annual
meeting in '99-the Unions Decennial-
it was voted to lay the matter on the
table, That matter closed the business
of the afternoon, and adjournment soon
followed.

BOARD OF TRADE
Adjourned to Meet Again January 23
 1900. "

Washington, December 15.-The first mat ter which came before the meeting of the national board of trade today was the re- port of the committee on reciprocity and export trade. The resolutions embodied in the report and which were adopted call at tention to the gratifying increases in the export trade, especially in manufactured products and recommend that reciprocal treaties should be negotiated, especially with the countries of the American conti- nent.
 The committee on postal affairs presented report recommending that congress care fully look into the rates paid by this gov- ernment to railroads for carrying the mails. The hope was expressed that a re- duction in rates may pave the way to the improvement of the service and the adop- ton of one-cent letter postage, and if the latter is not immediately possible at least to secure it in the near future. The report was adopted.
 A report from the same committee was adopted favoring the enactment of the Loud bill or some silmar legislation amending the postal laws relative to sec ond-class matter, which at the present rates is calculated to make heavy drain on the postal revenues; also a resolution favoring the reorganization of our present parcels post system whereby lower rates can be offered for the transmission of par cels of merchandise.
 After quantity of routine business had been disposed of the board adjourned to met on January 23 1900.
