THE PEN AND BRUSH.
Woman's Club That Has No Mission Eek
cent to Make Its Members Comfortable.

woman's Club That Has No Mission Ex-
cept to Make Its Members Comfortable.
The newest thing in women's clubs
is the Pen and Brush of New York.
1t is nothing if not unique, and it is
irving to be Just as different from other
organizations as possible. To begin
with, il is not going to have any es-
saws. papers or speeches for the improve
ment of the mind. 1t just means to
have good time, like mems clubs,
which must not convey the impression
that these women intend to stare out OF
the windows, smoke, play billiards, Cos
sin and drink. Heaven forbid! The
members are too intensely respectable
for that. They are mostly all well
known in the realm of art and letters.
The clubrooms at 26 West Twenty
second street are the daintiest, most
coy spots imaginable. A large plat
form at one end holds couch piled with
pillows and Turkish tabouret for tea
things. Bookcases, shelves and furnl-
ture are painted dull green, and orlen-
tal rugs are ON the floor. Curtains OF
yellow silk drape the many small win
dows, and hangings and pillows repeat
this charming color. The room is fuii
of cheer and sunlight. And what is
still better, it is not shut up for occa'
sions. 1t is open all the time, with a
maid in attendance.
The fair members drift in, drink
cup of tea, meet friends by appoint
ment, leave parcels or bags, read the
papers and generally find the club Sc
convenient they wonder how they lived
without it.
But listenl They have done some
tbipp-these daring Pen and Brushes
| at which the other women's clubs stand
aphast. They let men into the sacred
precincts of the club every Sunday
nav. they even invite them and gave
them tea, and these men, brainy, bril-
liant fellows in art and letters, seem &C
like to go immensely well and quite
lump at the chance of getting peep a,

Brush"

dure hardships that would daunt vet
eran soldier than to be separated from
the man of her choice.
This Notwithstanding that she is not
in the least q new woman. Contrari-
wise, she is an ideal homemaker and
housewife. Before her marriage, as
Miss Blanche Nichols, she did clever
and creditable newspaper work. She
was in Chicago throughout the period
of the Columbian exposition and wrote
more than entertainingly of all its sights
and wonders. Possibly it was that con-
tact with strange things and people
which helped to make her anxious

the strangest of them all is the Klon-
dixie 1t may be questioned indeed If its
like will ever again BIZ visible. Each of
the worlds gold fevers has wrought a
new and highly picturesque phase OF
human development. BY all accounts
the tragedy, the comedy, the grotesquerie
of Suffers mill, the San Joaquin val
ley, Ballarat, Gold Hill, the Transvaal
and Creede combined could not come
near to what is now being enacted up
under the midnight sun.
Mrs. Hill goesfully prepared to bring
back a most graphic and accurate record
Of it all. She has a typewriter, of the
| lightest and most compact, camera,
specimen cases - everything, in fact,
which experience has shown to be need
ed and worth while. In addition she is
fully equipped against climatic rigors.
| She will wear suit of fur such as was
prepared for the arctic explorers under
Peary. In coat, trousers and hooded car
she will look very much like slender
and pretty boy. Personally she is slight,
but we'll knit, graceful and well poised,

company with her husband she has

they have wheeled through the Cats
kills and all over the country round
about New York. She is fair, with
blue eyes and abundant fax blond hail
as fine as silk. Fine hair, say the stock
men, is the sure mark of thoroughbred
blood, and everybody knows that the
thoroughbred can endure to the end

it offers the best imaginable place for

StrikerS' DcmnndS Refused.

Hazleton, Pa, Aug. 31.-A commit
tee of miners representing the foreign
ers employed at the Coleraine colliery
held a conference yesterday afternoon
with Superintendent Roderick. The
men demanded the reinstatement of
the discharged laborer and the dis
charge Of the foreman, Joseph Harris,
who dismissed him; stoppage of collec-
tiOns by the company for the company
doctor; the employment of none but
union men. and the adjustment of
wage scale agreed upon last fall. but
altered during the winter by order of
the late A. S. VanWicI1le. Superintend-
ent Roderick refused to grant any of
the demands. and declares that the
company will win this strike If 1t takes
six months to settle it. If the men do
not return to work the colleries affect
ed will probably be closed down for an
indefinite period.

MAJOR WEBB'S SCHEME.
To Reorsanize the National Guard
Under National Control,

10 ReOrEaniZe the National Guard
Under National Control.
Cleveland Aug. 3l.-Major Webb C.
Hayes. son of the late President Hayes,
who Is said to be the only volunteer
Officer that served in both the Cuban
and Porto Rican campaigns, and who Is
accompanying President Mckinley on
his present trip, has proposed plan to
the chief executive looking toward the
reorganization of the national guard
under military law.
The plan provides that the president
shall appoint an adjutant general for
each state, that as many bodies Of mil
itary shall be raised in each state as
circumstances require, and that all Of
fieers of such militia shall be nominated
by the governors of the various states.
They would then be under the direct
control of the national military, and
much difficulty experienced when the
guard was called into service for the
Spanish war would be obviated. Major
Hayes said he dislilted to discuss the
matter now, for the plan was still in an
embryotic state, and he did not like to
go on record until some Of the details
are worked out.
Major Hayes, when asked what he
thought Of the charges of starvation in
the regiments at the front. said:
Look at me; do I looked starved?

happened there and says the outbreak
Of typhoid was to be expected. The
Chickamauga camp had the advantage
Of starting with all well men. and he
says this one started out with the dis
advantage of having the men sick, and
many of the sick soldiers are suffering
from the most contagious diseases.
According to DR.. Sem, the men who
went from Chickamauga and the other
camps to Porto Rico were already in
the first stages of typhoid fever before
their departure for the West Indies. He
says the germs had begun to propa-
gate In their system. If the men could
have gone home and received home
comforts they would have escaped, but
exposed to the hardships OF campaign
they easily succusnbcd. DIR. Sem thinks
the best thing to do Is to hurry the
troops away from Montauk and reduce
the camp just as rapidly as possible.
He thinks the regulars should get back
to barracks as soon as possible, and
there remain under the care of their
regimental surgeons, who could direct
their course of conduct and their diet.
Then. he is of the opinion they would
soon be on the road TO recovery.
DR.. Brown, who is the executive
head of The general hospital. differs
with DR.. Sem and says there is little
or no danger; that the precautions
are ample and that at the worst, it
would take months Scr the conditions
which DR.. Sem foretells to prevail.

Samoa May BE Divided Between Un.

Washington, Aug. 3l.-The state de-
partment has not yet been officially ad-
vised Of the reported death of King
Malietoa Of Samoa. and in all likeli.
hood must remain In official ignorance
Of the event for some time to come,
owing to the slow means of communi-
cation at the disposal of the depart
ment 1t is the general impression here
that the death of the King will result
In the overthrow of the present form of
government Of the islands, maintained
as 1t Is by the Joint action of the United
States, Great Britain and Germany. Of
ficial reports to the state department
show that this government is the most
expensive and unsatisfactory of any In
the world. having regard to the popu-
lation of the Samoan group. In the
capital city. Apia, there is maintained
a triparte municipal government at
vast proportionate expense. while the
reports show that 80 rate payers are
obliged to bear the entire cost. For
some years back the existing arrange
ment for the government OF the Sa-
moan group has been satisfactory to
none of the three governments, yet 1t
has been continued for the reason that
nothing better could be suggested that
would be acceptable to the three ma
tions. Now there are Indications that
at least one Of the parties is coming
around to what was favorite plan of
settlement of the state department,
namely. a distribution of the present
trfparte government and an absolute
division of the Islands Of the group be-
tween the United States. Great Brit
ain and Germany.
