WHAT is NON-SECTARIAN?

An organization recently started
in this city, the Business Woman
Club, a branch of, or rather under
the supervision of, the Women
Christian Association, has for its
primary object the improvement
and benefit Of the working women.
The scheme is very laudable on its
= face, but it would seem as though
the club would prefer to bestow its
benefits on favored class, although
il claims to be -sectarian. In
its constitution is a clause that
would appear aimed at, or at least
intended to exclude, considerable
number. Here is the clause in
question: "All members of the
board must be Protestant, but they
shall pledge themselves to keep the
club absolutely non-sectarian."
How can they do this? Here are
two OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and
Catholics-absolutely prohibited
from holding Office or having a
voice in the management, no matter
how much of representation they
may have in the club. This has
something the flavor of the A. P. A.
about it, though the society women
who organized the club probably
to fill in time which in Lent hung
heavily on their hands, would no
doubt disclaim any such intent on
their part. There must be some
deep scheme back of it. Whatever
the meaning, narrow-mindedness is
at work. Certainly these women
do not expect patronage for their
club or lunch-room from the classes
whom they thus so persistently ig-
more. But why did they do it?
That is the question.

JOHN EMMETT KELLY
Sends to His Father Souvenirs
Taken from the Span
iardS in Cuba.

John Emmett Kelly, of the One Hun
bred and Sixty-frst Indiana Volunteer
Infantry, now in Cuba. has sent to his
father, John Kelly, Seventeenth and
Bank streets, a number of relics of the
war in Cuba, among them several med
ais, one a very handsome one having
been taken from a Spanish General.
Kelly's company, which is composed
principally OF young Irish-Americans,
observed St. Patrick's day, and all the
members wore green epaulettes ON that
occasion, some of which he forwarded to
this city. He says the men of his regi-
ment expect to return home about the
middle of this month, and their only re-
greet is that they did not get the oppor-
tunity to more thoroughly whip the
Spaniards

BACON'S BIG STORE.
Story of an Incident That
Happened Some
Years Ago.

Not many years ago two well-known
citizens were discussing the big whole
sale and retail stores of different cities as
to the merits of employees, politeness,
etc During the course of the argument
one of the gentlemen in question men,
toned the well-known firm of J. Bacon &
Sons, and in order to convince his antag
onist that things at this establishment
, were as he said, he proposed that they
call on Messrs. Bacon & Sons and decide
the argument. They proceeded to the
store and watched the people as they
went in. The first to enter was white
lady, who was met at the door by gen
tleman, who they afterward learned was
the floor walker, and was shown to the
glove counter. The next to enter was a
large colored woman. She was met by
the same gentleman in the same manner
as was the white lady. Upon seeing this
they decided to go inside merely to see
what attention they would receive. They
entered the store and were approached
by the same gentleman in the same cour-
teous and polite manner, and asked what
they desired to purchase, and when
told that they were merely looking
around he called another gentleman,
who told them to follow him and he
would show them around. After spend
ing at least half an hour in showing
them through the entire building, and
having shown them every courtesy pos
sible, they decided that they would make
a purchase and spent several dollars be-
fore leaving the store. This simply goes
to show the true effect of having clerks
who are courteous to all, irrespective of
color or station, and there is no place
North, South, East or West,
where customers receive more kind or
polite attention from the managers and
entire force of employees than at j. Bacon
& Sons

THE IRISH EXHIBIT.

The British Commission appoint
ed to arrange and have charge OF
the exhibits of Great Britain at
the Paris Exposition, after urging
the business men of Dublin and
other cities of Ireland to organize
and prepare exhibits from that
country, which they have been pre-
pairing to do, now notifies the Irish
Committee that the subsidy will be
withdrawn, and all Irish commit
tees and associations must report
to and receive instructions from
London.
Such action on the part of the
British Commission came as shock
to the Irish committees, who we're
entering earnestly into the work of
making the Irish exhibit worthy
one. OF course everything stopped,
and an explanation was asked,
which, when it came, gave no salts
factory cause for the change of
programme.
1t is to be regretted that the
effort to present to the world in the
Paris Exposition a display of Ire
lands products has been thus dis
couraged, if not really prevented.
1t is not likely that the Irish pro-
moters of the enterprise will push
the matter further, most certainly
not with the interest and zeal
prompted and encouraged by an
assurance that the means to make
it a success could be at least partly
relied upon; for, although, even
despite this affront, the Irish people
Kentucky Irish American. (Louisville, Ky.) 1898-1968, 1899-04-01

may, for the sake of national pride
be anxious and willing to labor tC
make a fitting display for ireland
at the Paris Exposition, it must be
conceded that they have not the
means to do so, comparatively with
other exhibitors, and this knowl-
edge, with an unwilingness to pre-
sent an incomplete or inadequate
display, together with a natural in
dignation at the refusal to allow
them any of the general subsidy
fund, may, after all, cause the
abandonment of the entire move i'll
Ireland, and what promised to be a
splendid opportunity to Ireland to
show to the world some of the pro-
ducts of Irish genius, art and in
dustry thus pass untitled.
And it may be, though no reason
is assigned, that the course of the
British Commission was prompted
by desire to prevent the success
of a distinctly Irish display at
Paris, the credit for which would be
given to Ireland and her people;
would demonstrate what the down
trodden Irish are capable of if
given a show, and perhaps cause
doubt as to the necessity or propriety
of a continuance of British supre
macy, restraint, education, govern
ment, fostering care, etc., over Ire
land. Whatever the motive, it
seems settled that Ireland will have
only such an exhibit as the British
Commission may judge proper, and
that it will not be a distinctively
Irish exhibit, but part of Great
Britain's display, in which it may
be designated as being from Ireland.

boy must admit:

What? Bribery of members of
the British Parliament is charged,
and all Etgland is shocked CD 1t
is claimed that the passage of the
bill to consolidate the London
Chatham Dover railways under one
management was due to brides by
brokers and spectators, and that
the defeat of the bill raising the
flash test of oil from 70 to 100 was
secured by brides from representa-
tives of American, Prussian and
Scotch oil companies. A rigid in
vestigation is demanded.

Workingmen are sometimes too
hasty in condemning public officials
for not complying with their de-
mands. Public officials are not
always free to act according to their
desires and sympathies, but are
bound by the provisions and re-
strictions of the law, and must act
accordingly, however distasteful it
NAV be.

c. P. Huntington, the best
known and one of the most success
full railroad men in the country,
who, from humble surroundings
and limited j.. facilities, by industry
and perseverance, has become one
of the leading and wealthiest rail-
readers of the world, has this to say
about why so many boys do not
succeed in life-the truth of which
all who have observed the average
boy must admit
THE successful man learns the
rudiments of business in early life.
The unsuccessful man is the one
who in his youth watched the clock
to see that he did not begin work a
minute ahead of time-or quit a
second behind it. Those are the
boys who are discharged first, when
verthe staff is reduced but the boy
who thinks of working instead of
quitting, and looks after his en-
ployer's interest instead of his own
ease, is the one who is kept on, and
goes ahead and succeeds"
