Daily Life of the Busy Actress.

The actress has little time for

she is the less leisure she has and
the greater inroads her work makes
upon her time and strength. 1t is
often a genuine regret to have to
decline much of the delightful
hospitality extended to her, but
this is a denial she must urge up
on herself, according to her own
good judgment, whether it must
always be work first and play after

Wo0DMEN OF THE WORLD.
Interesting Facts Regarding the
Orders Growth.

The following statistical facts
are CLEANED from the able address
delivered before the open meeting
which was held at Union Hall in
this city last Thursday night by
the Woodmen of rhe world:
"Woodcraft was started in juno
1890, being organized at Omaha
Neb, There are three jurisdictions
the sovereign. with headquarters
at Omaha; the Pacific, with head
quarters at Denver, and the Cana
dian. with headquarters at Toron-
to. Since its organization the
Woodmen of the World has had
n wonderful growth, the member
ship today being l40,0O0. During
that time it has collected and paid
out for death losses the sum of
S4,650ooo.
+ The Pacific Jurisdiction is com
posed of the states of Colorado,
Wyoming. Utah. Idaho, Montana,
Washington, Oregon, California.
and Nevada. The membership on
April lst was 40,990, suhdivided
into 1872 camps, with an average
membership, per camp, of So, near
| ly double that of any other order,
and growing rapidly, There are
in Colorado ll2 camps, with an
average membership of 1l6. Den
yer has nearly 1, l,0O0memberss sPueb-
10 100 and Colorado Springs 600;
prosperous camps being in all the
towns of the state. Since the or
ganization of the Pacific Jurisdic-
ton it has paid to widows and or
phans the sum of 81 100000. The
death losses are paid promptly,
warrants being drawn as soon as
death proofs are submitted and ap-
proved.
An important feature of the ord
or is the Equalization Fund, which
went into operation Jan. lst, and
which will this year produce SlOO,-
600. Already S25. 900 has been in
vested in United States bonds, the
first money invested. 1t was pre-
dicled at San Francisco when the
Equalization Fund plan was adopt
ed, that the order would lose many
members, but the records show
that the Order, since August last,
has made net gain in member
rhip Of 5,l3o."
Since the meeting on Thursday
night % new applications for mem
bership have been received, and
these. with the candidates on "the
way" represent about 80. Really,
there is no reason why Woodcralt
should not flourish especially when
backed by such record as the
Pacific Jurisdiction, w. of w. en-
joys for prompt settlement of all
de ,th losses. 1t will not be snr-
prising if Florence Camp has $50
members before the term of its
present officers expires.

CONFERENCE ENDS
WITHOUT RESULTS.
General OTIS Refused Armisfice
Requested by Fiiipinos.
DOUBT SINCERITY OF ENJOYS

Manila. April %. The second
conference between General Otis
and the Filipino ENJOYS took place
this morning, but ended without
any definite results.
Admiral Deweyand Prof. SclIur-
man, of the Filipino commission.
were present during the parley.
The Filipinos simply renewed
their request for three weeks
armistice until their congress could
meet. They confessed that the
Filipinos were whipped and know
it. but said their armies could not
surrender until authorized by con
gress. Otis and the other officials
are inclined TO think the Filipinos
are only playing for time in which
to gather their wind.
The armistice was again refused
General Otis saying their gov
ernment would not be recog-
nized. The general opinion here
is that this incident marks the be-
ginning of the end.
The Filipino ENJOYS stated that
peace brought about by surrender
without authority of congress
would not be permanent. Otis re-
piled that he considered this n
threat, which, of course. the ENJOYS
strongly denied General Otis
said he would graut amnesty TO
all insurgents who would lay down
their arms within the next few
days.
The Florence daily tribune., 1899-04-29

Washington, April %. The con
sensus of opinion here is that the
Fiiipinos are simpl. playing for
time. The administration has i'm
plicit confidence in General Otis
and no instructions have been sent
him.
