LONDON, oct. H.-There was an un-
expectedly gloomy feeling this morning
ON the stock exchange and the Paris
bourse, both these markets being In
huenced, It is inferred from the aggres-
slve tone OF some Of the French papers.
Besides, this something extraordinary
seems to have happened, and 1t looks as
II crisis we're approaching, The Britt
ish naval preparations are certainly be-
Ing pushed with great activity. The
British emergency squadron is gather
ing at Devonport with all possible
speed. Seven battleships and one cruls-
er have been thus far designated TO
Join this squadron. Ofieers and sailors
have been hurriedly recalled from leave
OF absence, several battleships and
cruisers at Portsmouth are taking their
full crew on board and other Warlike
preparations are being made. A NUM-
her OF signal men, now on duty with
the British channel squadron, which ar
rived at Gibraltar this morning, have
been ordered home for service, 1t is pre-
suned, on board the auxiliary cruiser,
II the latter should be required for ac-
tive service.
A sensation has been caused by the
arrest this Horning Of supposed Rus
sian Spy at Iarwlch. The man was al
ready under Surveillance and went to
redoubt where he tried to obtain some
information from sentry regarding
the fortifications. He was promptly ar
rested and inquiries are being made re-
gardIng his antecedents.
Il was also asserted to-day that the
commanding officers of the London vol
unteer regiments had received orders to
prepare for immediate mobilization and
1t was asserted that the different artil-
lery corps have been informed as to the
forts on the southern and eastern coasts
to which they have been allotted.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon
says: England has been and even now
is SO near war that the government has
carried its preparations to the farthest
limit OF the preparatory stage. 1t has
been arranged to call out the reserves
and militia and to mobilize the volun-
teers simultaneously and TO form large
camps at various important railroad
functions, where rolling stock and loco
motives will be concentrated"

PARIS, Oct Si.-The Eclaire to-day
says 1t learns on reliable authority that
the Fashoda question will be settled ia
yorably to Great Britain by the recall
Of Major Marchand. France, the paper
adds, yields all, reservlng only the
question Of the right to the Bahr-El-
6hazel district, which she does not con-
slider as belonging to Egypt.
Continuing, the Eclaire remarks: M.
Delcasse, however. has now decided 10
raise the whole Egyptian question,
which should have been done from the
first and thus avoiding the humiliation
OF vleIding to the British ultimatum.
When the question is thus enlarged,
France will not be alone in its discuss
ion with the Marquis OF Salisbury.
Egypt interests all the powers. Russia
has promised n. Delcasse Its most eff
fectIve assistance and, beside Germany
has the biggest Interest, in view OF her
east African possessions and trade IN
the Far East, that the SueS canal
should not become exclusively British
and is disposed to support Franco-Rus-
sian arguments for a definite settle
ment of the Egyptian question"

THE object of this club shall be to bring

what she had studied, papers being ia
booed. The next year the club took a
trip abroad on paper, stopping at the
most important places in Europe. A for
NAL organization was not effected until
1897, and the Friday club was admitted
to the federation Just before that body
met at Olympia. This year the club has
a yearbook which marks out study in

said to have been organized in Philadel-
phia in 1895 under the name Of THE
Female Society for the Relief and I'M
provement of the Poor" 1t was organ
lied by Quaker spinster, Anne Parish,
who was born in 1850, and died Just be-
fore the nineteenth century began. The
society consisted first Of twenty-three &C.
complishcd women of the best families,
who met every week to go about among
the poor and needy. When the city was
visited by the yellow fever, shortly after
the formation of the club, the mettle of
its members was tried and found to ring
true; while most who had means fled
from the town, these twenty-three Quaker
women stayed with Anne Parish and
fought the plague. From that time the
society has endured and the granddaugh-
ters and great granddaughter OF the first
founders have Inherited club member
ship along with their Quaker traditions
and fine old family names. The mem.
bership is passed down through the eld-
est daughter, and the methods are not
changed from those first chosen. The
prominent work of the club is the main
tenance OF "house of industry" where
nearly hundred old Quaker women in
INDECENT circumstances 20 daily to sew,
knit, and mend in comfortable quarters
in the house on North Seventh street,
where the club has lodged since the mid.
die OF this century.
The modern club movement began
about forty years ago in the organization
Of small literary clubs. These were or
ganized into general federation about
seven wears ago. Their charter member
ship embraced fifty clubs. To-day over
five hundred clubs are 10 membership,
and there are twenty-seven state fedora
tons. The clubs are organized agencies
for bringing together and guiding in work
bright and puhlic-spirited women in all
The cities and villages. The extent and
effectiveness OF the work being done is
very inadequstely understood. The pur.
pose is chiefly educational. At the bien-
NAL held in Louisville in 1896 the dele
gates from the state declarations adopted
the study of the science of education and
of educational conditions existing in their
locality, to the end that their united in
1uence might be exerted for the better
ment Of education from the kindergarten
to the university.
Individually woman can make more
real progress through the fundamentally
of her club than she can by working sim
gle-handed. Some one has wittily de.
fined club as "a something which en-
ables hundred nobodies to become q
collection of somebodies." 1t provides
for progress socially, unsteady, intellect
ually, or in whatever way members wish
to direct their growth. 1t brings each
member in contact with those whom she
desires to know. and should teach her
to thrust self aside and gladly recognize
in another. gifts which she may not pos
sess. The highest aim of club is not
attained until it seeks to develop the tai
ents each individual possesses.

Sporting Editor, Age-Herald-Allow me,
please, to register a kick through your
widely read and largely circulated columns
against the present base ball arrangements.
The managers must either increase the
seating capacity, employ a detachment of
state militia, or prevent lunatics from
straddling the ratings to destroy the pleas
ure of the sport. Well bred gentlemen, six
feet tall. will not stretch their manly forms
at full length between gentlemen and the
players at the bat. But there should be
some provision made to take care of the
lunatics or half breeds who delight in OBJ
structing the pleasure of gentlemen, who
pay to see the game.
1t Is true the seats were somewhat crowd
ed at yesterdays game, but that Is no ex-
cuse for establishing lunatic asylum be-
tween observers and the game. 1t is suffi-
cient, L think, to have better facilities or
more policemen. The police are not to
blame, however, for when they would dis
perse one gang of the gentlemen with the
long ears and narrow brains another similar
element would spring up like so many
jumping jacks" For fear some of these
people may get offended and demand the
author of this publication, most respect
fully inscribe my initials as
