A pleasant event of last week to the
club women of Plattsmouth was the
meeting Of the current literature and
current topic department led by Mrs.
Fellows and Mrs. Davis. Both ladies
have happy faculty Of holding the at
tention and arousing the active interest
OF the members Of their departments
and Friday evenings program was ex-
ceptionally interesting. Some good
music, vocal and instrumental. by Misses
Fletcher and Hasec, and fine recita-
tion by Miss Mauzy, tended to tighten
the program, which is sometimes in-
clined to heaviness owing to the charac-
ter OF the subjects discussed. 1t seems
to me as a general thing the average
womans club is too ambitious, their
flights are too lofty, they soar and soar,
and instead of the club being a rest and
recreation to the tired woman, she is
Obliged to maintain feverish activity TO
keep pace and in touch with the sub
jects under discussion. Friday even
inp's session was very informal. Mrs.
Fellows spoke of Hall Gaines visit TO
America and his outspGken sentiments
that "American women had rattllng
good time" read some extracts and gave
little talk on current literature. rs
Wise reviewed, by request, the book in
His Steps, and gave her views as to the
feasibility Of mai ing the motto What
Would Jesus Do" the question and
guide in all emergencies and important
events that arise in ones life. Mrs.
Stouten borough spoke a short time on
her recent visit to Kansas and Missouri
and spoke in high terms OF the men OF
Missouri who stood behind the women's
clubs ready always to give their assist
ance when needed. 1t is fortunate the
women Of Nebraska are able to stand
alone. We never heard OF any men
Offering Nebraska clubs assistance with
money or in any other way. Perhaps
they are rendering silent homage, how
ever, and we will remember that com
parsons are odious." l keep wander
ing from my subject and my report is
getting lengt ~ but l must not omit the
excellent parliamentary drill of Mrs.
Davis and the fact that not one member
of the club could answer the question
"What is the number OF the present
congress. We were obliged to make
the humiliating confession that we
would have 10 ask a man. Mrs. Davis

club at the last meeting was under
the auspices OF the child study depart
ment. The interest in the department
was shown by the large audience in at
tendance who we're highly entertained
by a varied and demonstrated program.
We are all only children little larger
grown and an OBJECT lesson appeals to
the sympathies and interest as bare
statement Of facts cannot, 80 the very
instructive papers were illustrated by
the children themselves, who ectered
into the spirit Of the occasion with that
utter lack of self consciousness which
so often mars the appearance Of older
children. The program was opened by
Miss Oakley, who sang two charming
songs. Mrs. Mary E. Hart then read
paper on The Physical Child, Its In
huence on Character" Mrs. Hart
showed familiarity with the principles
underlying this subject, which can only
be obtained by careful thoughtful study.
Mr.. A. A. Scott then sang solo,
Goodnight" in sweet, clear tenor. for
which he received hearty encore. A
group Of kindergarten children from
Ninth and z streets were then marched
upon the stage to the sound OF
music and sang their little songs.
Especial interest was attached to these
little tots, as they came from the north
west district of the city, where dwell
the foreigners who do not speak Eng
lish, and all that the little ones know OF
it they have learned in the American
schools.
The next paper, by Miss Gallagher,
was on Creation Of Ideals in Character
Building" in which she showed the i'm
portauce OF cultivating in the boys and
girls Of today high ideals, as through
them character may be elevated. One
of the most interesting exercises of the
afternoon was given by Mason Wheeler.
only twelve years OF age, who had
brought his beautiful battleship which
he had modelled from diagrams given IN
the Scientific American. His subject
was listed on the program as a Battle
ship and Its Accoutrements, and in a
pleasant and clear off-hand way he told
about it's different parts and their pur-
poses. We wish to commend this youth
full orator for talking without notes.
The last paper for the afternoon on
"Will Power and Its Development" was
given by Miss Mary L. Fossler, in which
she claimed that character and morality
are dnectly dependent upon will power.
The next public meeting will be
musicale arranged by Miss Riser and
general reception will be rendered the
members Of the Woman's club at New
Years time.

1T HAS BEEN DECIDED.
Spain Must Surrender the Philippines to
the United States.

Paris. Oct. 29.-While the Spanish ana
American peace commissioners now
| stand on the threshold of the Philip
pine question, II seems probable in the
| light of this hour. that the United
| States will take over the entire archi-
pelago. This view is the focus point of
the best unofficial opinion of the trend
| of events.
During the four days just passed
| those in touch with. though possibly
not in the confidence of the commits
sioners, have felt the concentration of
tendencies toward the standpoint indi-
Gated as likely to be occupied bv the
United States commissioners at Mon
days session of the two commissions.
In 1897 Spain issued by royal de-
crees bonds in a sum of $40 900, 900, TO
which were pledged the revenues OF the
Philippines. and to which the Spanish
national guarantee was added. From
these s4000O.000 OF obligations, Spain
realized s36. .000. 900 in cash. These s4O.-
100000 represent the Philippine debt,
which is entirely outside Of the $780,
100000 of the so-called Philippine and
Spanish debt.
The conditions also differ, the Philip
pine debt having been created by royal
decree because the archipelago was not
a parliamentary colony. while the So
called Cuban debt was created by law
the non-responsibility OF the Philip
pines when removed from the sovsr-
eighty under which its resources were
pledged.
Should the United States absorb the
Philippines. none but officials yet know
whether they will assume a part or all
OF this debt or more than the Philippine
debt. The Americans have ie.llnei TO
assume the Cuban debt because Cuba is
not theirs. but In deposing Spain In the
Philippines. the Americans acquire the
territory, and IL is believed there will
be some financial assumption By the
United States. At this point arises the
question OF how much financial relief
might compose Spain to her loss of the
Philippines. Some well informed per-
sons believe that Premier Sagasta has
determined to be rid of the Philippines
ana would direct his commission 10
sign a treaty by which the United
states should take the islands and as
sumo 40.000.0 900 of debt.
This proposition finds support I'm the
Partisan press. which to-day declares
that resistance Is impossible and that
spain should abandon the archipelago.
Spanlards now in Paris declare that
the Philippines are a drag and assert
that Spain would lift a cry Of Joy to be
relieved Of them. IL the terrific debt
pressure should be thus lessened. on
shc oeiet manu- Spdnidrus at nome are
clamoring that their commission should
bolt the commission and returning full
NIL the highest duty. There are Span
iards In Paris who insist that should
the United States take the Philippines
without large money consideration
Spain's commission should return, and
the nation. bidding It's soldiers In Cuba
and elsewhere again take up arms,
achieve thus a glorious martyrdom to
national honor.
In these contendins currents the
Spanish commissioners are awaiting the
American declaration on Monday and

BIG RALLY IN BOHEMIAN
AN ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE GREErs
SENATOR MATS.
A Thousand People Listened to an Elo-
quent Presentation OF tho Argu-
ment for silver.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Bozeman, Oct. 29.-A very enthusiast
audience greeted Mr. Mats on the occa-
sion Of his speaking tonight at the ope-
ra house. The house was filled from gal
lery to stage with more than 1000 people.
The meeting was opened by Walter 8.
Hartman, who delivered a short but in
teresting speech before he introduced Mr..
Mats to the citizens.
Mr.. Mats spoke for about two hours to
a very attentive audience, who applauded
him quite freely during his speech, which
was full of good argument and a contrast
to that of Senator Carter on Friday night
which was made up of indecent abuse OF
the democratic party. He spoke princi-
pally In eloquent language on the financial
conditions and the reasons why the DEM
ocratic party was fighting for the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of Is to I.
and his arguments were invincible and
showed In very convincing manner that
the country would not be flooded by all
the silver of the world. as the republicans
insist would be the oase.--and said that
the deptor ought to have the option,
rather than the creditor. in what coin he
should pay his debt He said II a mistake
was made Il ought TO be made In favor
OF the poor rather than the rich man. He
said there was no danger OF silver mono
metallism. AS silver went up and gold
went down they would reach a parity. and
II gold went lower than silver II would
be chosen by the debtor and go up and
silver go down. In short. his speech was
one of the best and clearest ever heard
in Bozeman.

Naval Constructor Hobson Explains His
Plans to the Naval Board
at Washington.

Washington. Oct. 29-Naval Con-
structor Hobson arrived in this city
to-day. This afternoon he appeared be-
fore a board of naval bureau chiefs for
the purpose of explaining the condition
of the Spanish ships wrecked OFF the
coast of Santiago and the progress and
prospects of the efforts which are be-
ing made for raising them. II is said
over s1,000.000 will be required to begin
operations.
Constructor Hobson was with the
board all the afternoon, and gave a
great deal of detailed information as to
the condition of the wrecks. He was
certain il was useless to continue the
wrecking company any longer, and that
conditions did not merit the $500 per
day paid them. Constructor Hobson
said that in his opinion, the Colon and
Vizcaya could be raised and brought to
the dry docks at New York or Norfolk
at cost of $500. 900 for one and $500 900
for the other. and possibly they could
be brought in for 100000 each. The
government would. of course, take the
vessels and in the end might find IL
was unable to raise them.
Mr.. Hobson wanted to be placed at
the head of wrecking company which
he should organize and be authorized to
expend 100000 to s900.O00 on the two
vessels. He said the hull of the Viz
caya was intact and proposed to build
a Golfer dam around her and bring her
to the surface after making repairs
necessary to float her. Mr.. Hobson also
gave the bureau chiefs information
concerning the Reina Mercedes and the
Merrimac. The former could be easily
raised, he believed, for 1t was apparent
that she had been only scuttled. The
Merrimac could be raised. and he said
she must be removed from the mouth
of the harbor.
The board will have another meeting
on Monday and possibly may make
some recommendations 10 the secretary
regarding the wrecks off Santiago.
