gent Street Now the dowager countess,
who was and yet is considered one of
the most beautiful women in London So
ciety, came herself of fine old Scotch
family. She was one of the six famous
Moncreif sisters, who, like the Gun
nings from Ireland, came down from
their Highland home and took society
by storm. All of these lovely girls mar
ried rich and well-born men, and the
countess at first vigorously protested
against her sons matrimonial venture.
However, in time, the countess was
brought around, graced the wedding with
her presence, and is fond enough of her
little four-year-old grandson, the Wis.,
count Ednam. AS for the young coun-
tess. her popularity in society has never
waned. She enjoys the friendship of
the Princes OF Wales and though her
mother still owns the prosperous estab-
lishment on Regent Street and her father
never found his fortunes in South Ameri-
ca. she is counted, in spite of these
things, one of the great ladies of smart
British society.

Women OF America.
The Progressive Women of America is
the name OF a new club. and the founder
is Mrs. Effie W. Merriman of Minneapo-
lis.
This club is organized on different. per-
haps more practical. lines than anything
yet attempted in women's clubs.
It is not a local affair but is intended
to extend over a continent and TO en-
brace all classes of people. Growth is al

in contact and the founder believes that

have greater power and more interest
than local club.

nication with many people of many ideas.

been formed, and September fixed as

of their formation-the circle adopts a
constitution and bylaws in harmony with
the original one and elects president,

The object of the club is ''the discus
sion of the topics of the day, and ques-
tons of interest TO women; and the
bringing of its members into conmuni-
cation for acquaintance and mutual help
fulness.''
Mrs. Merriman, as the director for the
first year, outlines and announces the
topics for the consideration of the cir
cles, and each circle is expected to pre-
pare and forward to the director through
its secretary. a brief statement of the
the topic assigned by the director Once
month each circle is expected TO write
a friendly letter to at least one other cir

Washington Letter.


From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2I.-How much longer
Congress can stand the strain which has been
imposed upon it by the action, or rather nom
action of the administration upon the destruc-
ton of the battleshp Maine and the killing of
go of its men, in Havana harbor, without an
explosions problematical. Mr.. Mckinley has
disappointed many of his supporters, and moth
ing but the unwritten law under which Con-
gress has always supported the President in
all questions of policy affecting IL foreign
nation has prevented an outbreak before this
lnasm uch as there are probably not 80 men in
Congress who do not believe that the Maine
was blown up Intentionally, it is dfllcult to
understand why Mr.. Mckinley and the Sccre-
tary of the Navy should SO persiStently assert
their belief that the awful calamity was the re-
suit OF an accident on board the Maine. The
naval attache of the Spanish Legation, has
pIblicly announced the same belief, and added
that the accident was the result of carelrsslIess
and lax discipline. Ye gods, and this meddc-
some fool has not been sent after De LONE. 1t
could have been understood If Mr.. Mckinley
and his Secretary of the Navy had said that
they had no opinion to offer in advance of the
finding of the naval court of inquiry, which
has been appointed to investigate the affair,
but why they should take position that is II
reflection upon Captain Sigsbec and the other
brave officers of the Main, is only eXplanable
upon the theory that they are afraid of offend
ing Spain, and that in thc event of the failure
to find direct ara conclusive evidence that the
Maine was blown up by Spanish trCachcry,
Captain Sigsbec il 10 be made 4 sCape-goat. 1t

should think and say that we are afraid to send
