Topics Debated at Rochester by the
Federation of Clubs.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, Nov. 1.-THE
warmest discussions of the week marked
the closing hours of the fifth annual con-
vention of the New York State Federation
of Women's Clubs yesterday afternoon.
The question of presenting resolutions
touching the case OF Brigham II. Roberts,
the Mormon tive-elect. has bean
discussed between sessions all the week
1t is understood that Mrs. William Todd
Helmuth and others did not desire 10 have
the subject touched upon. On the other
hand, certain radical spirits felt that the
convention would fail in its duty unless
some action were taken. A motion was
finally presented by Mrs w. c. Gannett- OF
this city 1t was so hastily drawn that it
was unfortunately worded. Many did not
fully understand its significance
A lively discussion followed, led by Su-
san B. Anthony. who expressed regret that
the matter had been broached, arguing in
effect that it was unjust to war vigorously
upon one man for sin of which so many
men are guilty. The motion was finally
lost.
i thank you. iauieS, was MI het-
muth's comment.
The motion laid over from Wednesday
to prepare a petition to the State legisla-
ture for the establishment of State in
dustrial school in New York city. pre-
sented by Mrs. Clarence Burns. OF New
York came up again. The Rochester and
other ups State delegates have been bitterly
opposed to the original motion. but the
New York delegation carried the day. The
only material change in the resolution is
that the State Board of Charities will not
be specified to control the school.
Fun ran riot when Practical Reforms
and Aesthetics in Civics'' were discussed.
Mrs. Jacob Hess. of Sorosis. recommended
that the club establish golf links for the
working classes.
Dr. Jennie de la Lozier. of New York,
recommended that those members OF wo-
mems clubs wlo take on superfiuous flesh
exercise in the open air. Dancing Is the
very best form of exercise" DR.. LoZier
said. Go dancing in the back yard If you
cannot go anywhere else"
Mrs Allen Nye of New York. suggested
the establishment Of a playground for wo-
mems clubs.
Mrs. A. NJ. Palmer. president of the
Rainy Day Club, of New York. president
of the Professional Woman's League. and
member of Sorosis. spoke on dress reform.
Mrs. Palmer said. in her plea for shorter
skirts:
why should women persist in wearing
trailing garments for the sake of a foolish
fashion. in making themselves not only un-
comfortable but also distinct menace to
their own health and that of their fam
lilies?
ITO sum up in very few words. we ap-
peal TO the women of this federation TO
help us in our work by forming branches
throughout the State. and by SO doing in
duce women TO adopt this sanitary method
in dress. thereby promoting higher
standard Of womanhood.'
The following new members of the exec
utiye committee were selected: Mrs. S.
B. Larned. Syracuse; Mrs. Cynthia West
over Alden. New York; Mrs. Charles N
Dow. jamestown. and Mrs. G. W. Town
send Buffalo.

THE MYSTERY UNSoLvED.
Continued Absence of the Rev. w. H.
Dexter UnaccOunted For


NEW YORK, Nov. 1l.-While the disap-
pearance of the Rev William Hart Dex-
ter, President OF the New York Naval
Academy at Nyack. who left his home there
on November . for Springfield. Mass. is
still apparently as deep a mystery as ever
a statement made today by Captain Nc.
Clusky. whose detectives are working on
the case, gives reason for the belief that
the police know more about Dexter's move
ments than they have given out, and that
they may be trying to restore him TO his
home with as little publicity as possible
Captain McClusky today made this state
ment: You can quote me as saying that
DR.. Dexter has not met with foul play
make this assertion on the informal lion
brought 10 me by my detectives who are
at work on the case
The captain positively refused TO reveal
the nature of this information. but said
he hardly expected any further develop
ments. According 10 other information OBJ.
tanned from Captain McClusky today his
detectives traced DR.. Dexter TO the New
Haven steamboat, which was to start on
Thursday night, and on which he had en-
gagged a stateroom. Andrew Peterson, a
watchman on the New Haven Line pier.
saw a man whose description corresponded
with that of DIR. Dexter walk down the
pier toward the boat about $50 O'Clock
CARRYING his grip. Fifteen minutes later
Peterson says, he saw the same man come
back without the grip and go across the
street. According to the police Dr. Dexter
was also seen on the boat at 10 o'clock.
That he did not sail there is no doubt.

A GREAT TRUTH.

All organized living things whether be-
longing to the animal or vegetable king
dom contain within themselves the germs
of death and decay.
Germs of disease are, often generated
within the human system, through imper-
feet digestion of food, producing various
poisons which scientists kave denominated
pfomdfues. A stomach weakened by abuse,
gorged with over eating or over burdened
with hot bread, too rich or greasy foods or
those too highly seasoned, becomes weak
ened and fails to thoroughly digest the
food A heavy, soddeii mass is accumu-
lated in the stomach to ferment as the first
step in its decay, giving of foul gases to
distend the stomach, aud poison the blood,
until il becomesthiu, weak and lacking in
the red corpuscies so necessary to perfect
health.
The over distended stomach presses upon
the heart, and the latter organ is also dis
turbed through sympathy, the same system
of nerves being distributed to both organs.
Thus palpitation and irregular action of the
heart with its attendant shoTtness of breath,
result and in time. disease Of the heart
itself is established.
The gases and other poisons generated
from undigested ferinentirg and decay
ing food in the stomach becloud the
brain, causing headaches, and pain i'll the
eyes.

Every organ and every nerve, depending
as they do for their nourishinent and
renewal upon the stomach, weak digestion
shows itself not alone in loss of appetite
and flesh, but also in nervousness. debility,
bad complexion and many other derange-
merits.

stirred up some discussion by a paper on
alcohol. Alcohol. he said was of many
kinds As an ingredient in alcoholic
drinks. il is not necessarily harmful. New
whiskey he denounced as unfit for use.
1t is the quality of the alcoholic product,
not its quantity, that should be condemned.
DR.. Hills put alcohol first among general
stimulants and heart tonios, and said that
il was an eacellent food in many cases
where other foods could not be retained.
He then paid his respects to the temper
ance people in the following manner:
The man is justified who, feeling inse-
cure. puts up lightning rod 10 protect
his house: so is the man who cannot han
die alcohol in rational manner equally
justified in taking pledge and attaching
himself to a temperance society. There
he will have an opportunity with the 9TH
ers to put himself on exhibition as a weak
ling and a person without moral strength
or resolution, but he has no right to de-
nounce alcohol because of his weakness any
n ore than he should lamppost which he
when under the influence of his potation.
The physician above all men must not be
frightened away from his obligation to his
patient by the noise and elamor made by
the clergyman or the temperance orator.
