CLUB WOMEN.
(From Harper,s Bazar. }

" rom Harper s BaZaf.)
Everything is ready for the opening of
the fourth annual convention of the New
York State Federation on Tuesday next.
There is every evidence that the four
days session will be full of interest and
profit to delegates and club women. The
program, as has been pointed out before
in this department, is arranged on a new
plan. There are no papers or club re-
ports aside from the necessary short re-
ports Of officers and of the few standing
committees. There are to be no evening
sessions of a business or literary char
.acter the four evenings of the convention
being set apart for social pleasures. The
nNe-mlnute limit is to be observed with
every speaker in discussion, il being the
aim and hope of the executive board of
the federation that a large proportion of
the delegates and club women who will be
present will be heard. The twenty topics
for discussion are pertinent and interest
ing, each in the hands Of a leader special
ly qualified to present the subject. The
chairman of parliamentary law is Miss
Anne Rhodes, whose excellent points
made at the convention last year at SYRIA
euse will be remembered by all who heard
her; the chairman of ciVics is Mrs M. E.
Tfautman of New York than whom no
woman is better qualified to serve; chair
man Of musical clubs, Mrs. Theodore Su-
trO, equally an expert in that line of eff
fort; chairman of literature, Mrs. Chaun-
cey Parsons of Hampstead, a woman of
rare scholarly attachments; chairman Of
art. Mrs Charles M Dow of Jamestown
who knows all about it; chairman Of
hospitals and medical schools, Mrs j. Fl
Burtis of Brooklyn, whose practical knowl-
edge is exemplified in the splendid Memo
rial Hospital for Women with training
school attached, for which her efforts are
indefatigable; chairman of women in
law. Mrs Edward A. Greeley, a graduate
of the women's law classes Of New York
and so on. Throughout the list each
woman is rarely we'll fitted for her place
A number of distinguished club women
will be the guests of the hostesses of the
federation. Mrs. Lowe, the president OF
the General Federation. will arrive on
Wednesday,, in time to be present at Mrs
Helmuth 5 reception on the evening of
that day. Mrs Philip NJ Moore of ST
Louis treasurer of the General Fedora
ton and long prominently Identified with
the work of the national organization, and
Mrs. Kendrick of Philadelphia, CORE
GRAFTON, have also accepted invitations to

MUST OBEY THE LAW,
sealer Of Weights and Measures Issues
Instructions About Bread.

Sealer of Weights and Measures De
Fosse has bean in consultation with
state authorities during the past week,
relative to the enforcement of the law
regarding the weight of bread He
announces the following regulations
that will givern the city authorities in
the enforcement of the law
1T must be understood that the law
refers not only to bakers and bakeries,
but to all parties who sell bread at re-
tail This means bakeries, groceries
and stores of ali kinds where bread is
sold
Bread must be weighed The pen
atty is just as heavy when the loaf is
sold without Weighing as when 1t is
light in weight. Every shop or store
selling bread at retail must have a
| printed card in each front window and
| in visible place inside the store
| wherein bread is sold.
THE person who sells the bread is
the responsible party. and not the per-
son who delivers it to the retailer at
wholesale
bread that is light in weight when the
loaves are weighed. The law distinct
ly states that whoever sells a loaf or
| part of loaf of bread as is specified
by law, without weighing the same,
shall forfeit $40 for each offense.
IF a loaf of bread weighs more than
one and one half pounds, and not two
pounds said loaf must be sold and list
ed on the printed cards in the windows
and in the shop as a quarter loaf
| Likewise for loaves weighing more than
one pound and less than one and one
| half pounds, must be listed as half
| loaves, and loayes weighing more than
one-half pound and less than one pound
must be listed as one-quarter loaves.
| Loaves weighing two pounds or over
only can be sold as loaves.
THE size and price of the loaves list
ed would be considered the size and
quality that is sold in the shop, and
parties selling loaves or parts of loaves
other than that which they specify in
printed lists, shall be considered violat-
] ors of the law.
This law must be complied with or
persons selling bread otherwise will be
prosecuted according to law"

can be found at his office, 2 City Hall,

ALWAYS AZ THE FRONT.
A Family Theatre That Is Sure
To Win.

For some time the Casino Theatre,
100 Front street, has given a vaudeville
performance that would put many a
higher priced theatre to shame Mr.
Davy has made it his special pride that
nothing is ever allowed to be spoken or
acted on his stage that would shock the
most fastidious. AS a result the little
theatre is always crowded. Mr.. Davy,
the manager,-is justly proud of the
troupe me introduces to Worcester this
week. 1t is called the Kentucky Trou-
badours and a merrier lot would be
hard to find. The troupe consists Of 8
persons, and each is an artist They are
colored, and represent the most cul-
tured element of the colored population
of their native state. Their acts are all
novel, their singing is absolutely perfect
and their dancing-well it must be seen
to be appreciated The charge for adj
mission is so ridiculously low-only five
cents-that there is no possible reason
why every resident of Worcester should
not see this incompatible show this
week. We understand that the theatre
is open from / p. m. until II p. M, so
that anyone can have an opportunity
of seeing a world-famed troupe and a
chance to wonder why so much can be
given for a simple nickel.

READY FOR TUESDAY.
Republican City Committee Completes Its
Final Arrangements for Election Day.

The republican city committee held
special meeting at headquarters last
evening to make final arrangements for
election day, looking toward getting out
the full party strength. Nearly every
member was present and favorable re-
ports were received from every ward
and precinct.
There was some discussion in regard
to the hack service in some of the
wards. In past years it has been found
required, while, in others not enough
could be obtained. The matter was
finally left to the discretion of the
ward committees. The expense Of get
ting out the vote is quite eonsidera-
BILE item, amounting in some thickly-
settled wards to over $780,
The report of the treasurer, Clarence
d. Mixter, showed that the committee
was wei supplied with funds, and had
advance pledges sufficient to meet all
expenses of the state canvass.
The arrangements as perfected in
clude the choice Of checkers and hack
attendants in the various precincts,
hacks and barges in large numbers,
car tickets for use on the Consolida-
ted and Suburban lines. These tickets
will be distributed by the chairrnen of
the ward committees, and will be sent
to the large manufacturing establish
ments, under the direction of the
chairman.
The committeeman will be somewhat
burdened this year in the labors on
election day, owing to the addition of
one precinct in each ward No addi-
tional member has been elected from
these new precincts, and the work of
supervision will have to be performed
by the members of the ward commit
tees. AS it is necessary for the best
interests of the party that the COM
mittee should have a man in each pre-
cinct to have charge of affairs, it is
probable that another member will be
chosen before the municipal elections.
BY a recent law, the election of an
additional memberolies with the ward
committees.
The resignation of Adelard d. Du-
bois, member from ward ivc, was

HIGH TRIBUTE TO PETTITT.
He Showed Us How to Win; He Has
Shown Us How to Lose.

The Field Gondon) of Oct. % gives
full account of the court tennis match
for the championship of the world, played
at Brighton, England, between Peter. La
than of London, England, and Thomas
Petit of Boston.
The article says that Latham was quite
at home with the foreign balls, which
were supposed to be an advantage to Pet
tilt. 1t says that Pettitt's railroad serv-
ice, which, with his method of delivery
were supposed to be invincible did not
trouble Latham to the extent expected
In the first set on the first day and the
second set on the second day, both Of
which looked almost a certainty for Pet
tilt, the Field says that both combatants
played with immense power and resource
Though Latham won seven straight sets
liant.
The article continues: with regard to
Tom Pettitt, it would be difficult to over
praise the great effort he made to stem
the tide of defeat. Possessed of only one
service presenting any difficulty. he
might well have felt some despair when
he realized that it was not good enough
for the occasion But, practically to the
bitter end he continued to play with de-
his fortitude and good temper throughout
a very uphill game won for him golden
opinions on all hands. In 1885 and 1890 he
showed us how to win he has now shown
us how to lose"

There Will be No Difficulty About the
Americans Holding the City.

Washington, July 18-Army and
navy officials say that there are no
difficulties from a military standpoint
in retaining possession of Santiago
and the eastern end Of Cuba, now that
the United States has secured a foot
hold there. With the withdrawal of
Gen. TCral's forces east of Asserera-
deros, there will be no Spanish troops
in the surrendered zone. The Spanish
garrisons at Holguin and Manzanillo,
therefore, constitute about the only op-
position to the quiet retention Of the
territory now occupied by us. 1t will
be difficult however, for the Spanish
forces to get from Holguin or Man
Zanillo, as the roads are impossible
for an army large enough to make an
attempt to retake Santiago, and in any
event it is said, control OF Santiago
harbor by the American forces gives
the governors the key to the sit
uation, as the guns of the warships
in the inner harbor can command all
the approaches to the town. 1t was
this which made the approach of the
American land forces so difficult white
Cervera's feet was in the harbor, and
which left Santiago helpless and
ready to surrender as soon as Ger
veras fleet departed. 1t is probable
that several Of cur ships will be sta
toned within the harbor, sufficiently
off the city to avoid contagion, and
yet near enough to give complete de-
Tense in case an effort is made by the
Spaniards to repossess the city.

FROM THE KLONDIKE.
The Yukon River is Unusually Low
and is Hindering Travel.

San Francisco, July 1S.-It is re-
ported that at st. Michaels on July Z,
when the St. Paul sailed for this city,
that the Conemaugh from SEATTLE was
overtaken in the Boring sea by hur-
ricane and her tow, a river steamer
laden with stores, was lost. Steamer
and cargo were valued at 10000. Two
barges towed by the Alaska CONNER
cial Companys steamer Portland, were
lost In the same storm. They cost
about S20,C3C. A similar fate overlook
a new river boat, towed by the Ma
tional City. The loss in the last case
was $4,000.
Only four river steamers had come
down the Yukon at the date of the st.

Dawson June 10, and arrived at St.

The Yukon river is unusually low
this season. and boats that are already
at ST. Michaels have slight chance OF
reaching Dawson. When the Bella
came down she passed three steamers
stuck in the mud at Fort Yukon. The
water in the river is not deeper than
three feet in many places.

BIG IRON COMBINATION
In Which Ore Producers and Manu-
facturers Consolidate.

New York, July SD. o. Mills, who
is said to have large interests in north
western iron lands, made this state
ment concerning the rumored consol-
idation CT the Illinois Steel Company.
Minnesota Iron, Pennsylvania Steel
and Cambria companies:
AS | understand 1t, there has been
but one preliminary conference looking
to the consolidation of northwestern
steel and iron companies. In the form
OF consolidation, | am inclined to op-
pose it, If, however, proper terms can
be arranged, it will be a benefit to all
concerned. 1t is quite natural that in
such a combination certain interests
would desire to be especially favored.
Should such interests agree to accept
equitable terms, l would gladly favor
the contamination of such an agree
ment. 1t would tend to make perma-
nent trade relations. which would be
of inestimable benefit. Should this
matter be brought to a successful
issue there would not necessarily be
any conflict with the present Rookie
feller-Carnegie arrangement. as sup
plies would only be furnished for the
companies own use upon a minimum
basis"
