woman's enterprise
The president, Mrs. Clinton Locke,
is member Of the chief cat clubs
in the world-the National Cat Club
of England, and Lady Marcus Beres-
fOrd's Cat Club in London. Mrs Locke
is in touch with the best-known meth
ods of raising the most carefully bred
cats. therefore no one could be better
qualified to begin such an enterprise
to at once interest all cat-lovers in
the philanthropy of the subject, and to
inspire confidence in those who desire
to see the animal best fitted by size,
instinct and beauty take its place in
the ranks of the thoroughbred. The
common cat, however, will not be bar
red out from the national cat shows,
which this club hopes to make equal
to the famous ones in England. 1t is
the intention of the club to give annual
shows and to give the proceeds to the

A Lewiston club woman opposes the
idea of having a clubhouse in that city,
and states her reasons as follows:
The chief attraction of the women's
club today is the fact that it meets in
the home, surrounded by the things
that are dear TO the heart of the host
ess who entertains. Every woman
loves a home, and next to her own
home she admires the home OF her
neighbor. And if the club meetings
were to be discontinued and the meet
ings held in a hall or in one room, they
would not be so well attended. And |
think they would soon cease to attract

IRISH FISHERMEN
Are Judgment Because American Fishing
Boats Operate in Their Waters.


LONDON, September 27.-The Times
to-day prints a despatch from Cork,
saying there is much indignation among
the fishermen and exporters on the
south and west coasts Of Ireland at
the appearance of American fishing
boats which compete unfairly with
the local men," The despatch adds:
"A few years ago cured mackerel were
exported to the United States, afford
ing remunerative employment at a
period when employment was scarcest.
The Mckinley tariff killed the trade
and the appearance this season Of AM
erican fish boats which are capturing
autumn mackerel in large numbers
has, therefore, caused great irritation
among the local fishermen. who com
plain that the new arrivals are taking
their old trade. The Americans more
over, use small mesh nets which scoop
up immature fish. These nets and sling
nets even are prohibited in American
waters It is feared that boats will
come next year."
