OUT AND ABOUT.

Under the heading, "Club Breakerf
Ahead-the Worcester Controversy
Confronts the Council" the New York
Tribune Of yesterday devotes nearly q
column to a discussion of the forth
coming council of the General Fedora
ton in Philadelphia, June 2-9, to the
attitude of the Worcester Woman's
Club toward reorganization, and to
the opinions of leading club women up
on the subject. Unfortunately the
writer has been misinformed with re-
gard to the position of the Worcester
Woman's Club. 1t is annoying to find
that per capita tax assigned as the
chief reason for the Worcester women S
expressed dissatisfaction, after SO
much good breath and ink and paper
have been consumed in the attempt to
prove the contrary. 1t is also amusing
to find the Worcester Woman's Club
credited with a membership of 1000.
After stating that "the members Of the
various women's clubs throughout the
United States that belong to the fed
Grafton are taking sides pro and con
regarding the attitude of the Worces-
ter Club the Tribune goes on to say:
1.-THE question that confronts the
COuUClI
it does the reorganization of the gen
eral federation. The trouble began at
the Denver biennial last June, when it
was voted by a fractional meeting that
the basis of the annual dues from the
federated clubs to the national organ
ization should be changed. Up to the
time of the Denver biennial, clubs of
100 members and over paid a yearly fee
of $40 to the general organization and
clubs of under 100 paid IS. Then a per
capita tax of 10 cents a year on mem
bers of federated clubs was proposed,
and it naturally met with opposition
from the clubs of large membership
and with approval by the smaller ones.
Where the Woman's Club, to cite an
example at hand, paid an annual fee
Of $40, it must now pay $780, as it has
a membership of 1000.
"Whle the per capita tax is the prin-
cipal peg on which the Worcester club
hangs its expressed dissatisfaction, an
other point made is that the biennial
meetings are growing unwieldy by rea-
son of the large representation coming
both from the individual clubs belong
ing to it and from the state fedora
tions. The women suggest that on the

THE TRANSVAAL DILEMMA.

The arrest of Englishmen in the
Transvaal indicates that the lesson
supposed to have been taught by the
treatment of DR.. Jameson and his abet-
tors has counted for nothing. At any
rate, the Beers profess to have discov-
cred discriminating evidence against
their prisoners, and the charge is con-
spiracy to incite revolt. This is an en-
barrassing misadventure for Mr.. JOS
eph Chamberlain, for the news that
Englishmen are in peril will increase
the pressure upon the foreign office in
London, while the fact itself or
hances the difficulty of negotiating
with the Beers. There is a con-
siderable faction in England
that would brave all danger
and throttle the South African Repub-
lie without more ado. Advocates of an
extreme policy rely upon the Pretoria
convention of 1881, which declared an
English suzerainty over the Transvaal,
and they assert that this suzerainty
was not repudiated by the convention
point, for Lord Derby distinctly an
nounced at the time of the signing of
the signing of this treaty that the
Transvaal government was left free
to govern the country without inter-
ference" subject only to the require
ment that no treaty with any foreign
state shall be made without the ap-
prevail of the queen. The British gov
eminent can hardly go back on this
official Interpretation. All participa-
ton in the internal affairs of the re-
public has been renowned by the con-
vention, and yet strong pressure is be-
ing brought to persuade the govern
ment to act more vigorously for the
relief of the uitlanders. or foreign res
idents of the Transvaal.
There are grievances enough, for it is
not too much to say that the
Boer policy is to squeeze the uit-
landers to the uttermost farthing, and
give them as little as possible in re-
turn. Taxation without representation
but imperfectly describes the condition
of these people. They have developed
the industrial resources of the country
and directly enhanced the wealth of
the Beers. Their money, brains and
energy have brought the republic such
prosperity as it enjoys. There is prob
ably no intelligent people in the world
that would endure without vigorous
protest the political, educational and
commercial restrictions imposed by the
Beers upon these 'intruders." The
British sympathy for their countrymen
in the Transvaal is wholly reasonable,
but it is far from clear what course the
British government can take to mend
matters.

The law makers have had hard luck
with their attempts at liquor Legislation
this year. Having corrected the blunder
that was made in the bill designed to
restrict the number of licensed places in
Boston, the amended law is now found
to have been tempered with, so as to
revive the opportunity for scandal at
the seaside resorts. Under the law of
1888 selectmen of towns having large
summer population were allowed to
take a census of the summer residents
and issue licenses at the ratio Of one to
every 500 Of the population. This system
resulted in such scandalous padding OF
the census, that in 1892 law was
passed providing that the special sum-
mer census should be taken by the state
bureau of labor statistics. The latter
amendment has now been repealed by
the re-enactment of the old law of 1888
in the special bill just passed to correct
the aforesaid blunder in regard to Bos-
ton. How the provision of 1888 got into
the new law nobody seems to know, but
it is clear that the legislature had no in
tention of removing the check that had
been put upon the selectmen of the sea-
side towns. AS an explanation of this
second blunder, the public may take it's
choice between a piece of monumental
carlessness or a deliberate trick played
upon the legislators by some !ate.'-
ested parties.

Secretary Dow of the Handel and
Haydn Society has fit of indigo blues
and is ready to quit. So he said at q
preliminary meeting of the Boston cho-
rus His complaint is the familiar one
of lacking financial support. The de-
felt for the year is more than $25OO
Said Mr.. Dow: 1.-THE 'Messiahs were
the only things that paid. st. Paul
was a failure. The Easter concert with
Nordica cost us $1,000. The Creation
did not draw. The Symphony orches-
ira and the soloists we have are high
priced"
Mr. Dow added that only the soloists
draw the crowd. The people do not go
to the concerts to hear the orchestra
or the chorus. What adds to the ceru-
lean aspect of affairs is the fact that
next year the society will have to find
a new hail. and the change will in
crease expenses. There will be no re-
hearsal hall that can be depended upon
regularly in the new music hall. Mr..
BOWS report was SO Respondent as to
convince some of his hearers that he
believed the Handel and Haydn had
outgrown it's usefulness and had no flu
ture. They told him so, and he promptly
urged any of his critics to accept the
office of secretary and see how they
liked it. These doleful representations,
coming close upon the experience of the
Springfield festival, are anything but
encouraging to managers of large cho-
raj societies. Yet, despite Mr.. BOWS
remarks, soloists alone will not bring
success. One of the embarrassments
of chorus managers is the dearth of
new and striking choral works. The
Messiah and Elijah" seeem to be
the only pieces in the old repertoire that
uniformly pay, and as both are seldom
available in the same season, the profits
are not sufficient to cover the losses on
other concerts.

If Aguinaldo has actually been alb
sent two weeks and vouchsafed no It'd
ings of his whereabouts. it is altogether
reasonable for Gen. Pillar to suspect
that the Filipino chieftain has desert
ed the army. If Aguinaldo has taken the
congress along with him, there is no
additional cause for sorrow. He and
it can do their thinking just as well in
the province Of Nueva Ecija as any
where else. especially as their melan-
choIy nominations result in nothing but
talk and windy proclamations. If the
army can be rid of both Aguinaldo and
congress. a peace may be the more
readily effected.

Francisque Sarcey the French drama
tic critic? For quarter of a century
his dictum has been as law and gospel

leaves a vacancy that it will be hard
to fill. A recent controversy proved
that advancing years had not weakened
the force of his diction.
