Women's Clubs from a
 Mans Point of View

It will be interesting to club circles, as well to all who are interested in the de- velopment of club work, to know that the humorous side of the club movement was discussed at the Federation, as well as the more serious questions. Mrs. Edward c. Payne, of New Decatur, presented the views of ten representative Alabama men upon the subject of women's clubs. Mrs. Payne is one of the prominent club women of the state, and was one of the hand somest women in Mobile. She talked in the most delightful manner, and was applaud ed enthusiastically by the women who had travelled the pebbly path toward clubdom.
 She said among other things:
 When it announced at enc of our regular meetings that this sub1eN had been assigned to the Progressive Culture club of the Decaturs, consternation was de- picted upon the face of every woman pres- ent, and when the presiding officer asked who would volunteer to write upon such a delicate question, each one made herself small as possible and endeavored to look as if she could not be supposed to know anything at all about it. It was in- deed a critical moment-each individual member growing smaller and smaller as she viewed herself, her club, Alabama clubs and clubs in general from masculine point Of view-especlally as she might be 
 requested to express these ideas in cold black and white But at this crisis one bright woman came to the rescue with the suggestion that we form ourselves into committee of the whole, each collecting many opinions as possible directly from representative men and assign to the dele gate the pleasant @ task of putting a plaster on the whole with a view of draw ing 1t to a head.
 The first contribution came from young married woman-who did not care to pre- sent her husbands candid opinion-as he thought her entrance into the Progressive Culture club led directly to the polls, You will observe, however, that it pictures his attitude. She says l do not know, but it seems to me that somewhere away back in the early days of this race of human be- ings, man, or some individual man, must have come in sharp contact with woman who managed a club. Like the average club woman of today she must have done her work thoroughly, for that black and blue man seems to have transmitted his

nays The result was announced and the motion to consolidate was lost.
 Mrs. George c. Ball. the tor and owner of the New Era, who was on the floor of the convention, did not enter into the dis cussion, the advantages of consolidation being brought forward by others.
 The following is quoted from Mrs. Craig heads remarks in speaking of Womans Work, the official organ:
 "The plan would be to make 1t free, or SO cheap that no one would feel the amount 1t would cost. That this can be done she has the practical experience of large or ganization among the lumbermen known as Hoo-Hoo. It should be strictly busi- ness journal, and if it proved a success, a literary experiment might be added to it, but he doubted that this could be made to compete with the present literary publica- tions, and she felt that 1t would be no slur upon the members of the organization to say that their literary efforts would not have much value for the great majority Of outs de readers. Woman's Work has not only been supported for seven months, but now has more than enough to finish out the year. We could trust our business mana ger and board of editors not to involve the

bama's sponsor was Miss Carrie Cochrane, of Eufaula She is now the wife of Bishop H. M Jackson.
 In 1895, at Houston, Miss Ella Nelson, of Selma, was sponsor.
 Miss Mary Clare Miner of Birmingham represented Alabama at the Richmond re- union in 1896.
 At the Nashville reunion, in 1897, Miss Rebie Berney, of Montgomery, was spon- sor.
 Last year, at Atlanta, Miss Lillian Roden, of Birmingham, was sponsor Miss Chisom is the daughter of Major Robert Chisom, of this city. Major Chisolm served with distinction all during the war in one of the South Carolina regiments and after the war resided in Charleston, which is Miss Chsolms birthplace. On both sides of her family Miss Chisolm is a descendant of the French Hugenots who | settled in South Carolina in the early days | of the colony. Her family has always taken a prominent part in the affairs of tbe Pal | metto state.

Most Brilliant Events i'm Honor of the Distinguished
 Delegation of Women.

Womens Clubs hereby elects the New Era as the official organ of the federation on the following conditions, to-wt
 1. The New Era is to consolidate with Woman's Work, and carry out all arrange ments now in force and heretofore made by the directors with Woman's Work, as official organ of the fedora tion.
 2. That the New Era is, in addition to general editorial and news policy of en- couragement and assistance to the clubs, to reserve one page for the editorial control of the president of the state federation, and publish thereon such matter as may be furnished by said president.
 Mrs Cory presented her argument clearly and eoquently, and by request she spoke from the platform. At one point in her ar gument she was called to order by the president, who stated that there was an agreement that personalities would not be brought forward in the argument Mrs. Cory had made point of the federation, aiding in the support of one woman, which was no inglorious object.
 Mrs. French, of Birmingham, arose to a point of order, and asked who made such an agreement.
 The president said: "You rise to a ques- tion of privilege, Mrs. French, not to a point of order"
 Mrs. French insisted that 1t was a point of order, and the president repeated that it was a question of personal privilege, if she rose to ask for information.
 Mrs. Cory said that such an agreement had not been made known to her she would have excluded it from her argument. and the chair ruled Mrs. French out of or der, and Mrs Cory proceeded with her ar gument.
 The argument for and against consolida- tion continued after Mrs. Cory closed Mrs. Craighead called Mrs. Lowe to the chair and spoke against consolidation.
 Miss Willie Allen of Rirmin ph9n arPIlad chair and spoke against consolidation.
 The question was called for and the president announced the discussion was ended.
 Mrs. French said there had been no call for the previous question, while the chair repeated that the previous question was in- tended and had been called for Mrs. Craighead again called Mrs. Lowe to the chair, who after conferring with the presi- dent, ruled that the previous question had been ordered An appeal from the decision of the chair was taken, but the appeal was lost.
 A viva voce vote was taken on consoida- tion, but Mrs. Cory called for the yeas and

fear and dread, his absolute antipathy for women who attend clubs, from generation to generation, gathering momentum as they rolled down through the ages, until there are today a number of these dear lords of creation opposing women's clubs, and the club women as strenuously, as though one still held a eudgel in her hand ready to fall upon his precious head. He is as nervous when the club woman-espe- cially if she happen to be his wife-tells of some up-to-date topic of ethics, civcs, or philanthropy, that has absorbed her club, as if the suspended sword of Damocles were about to fall and end his own great ness and importance, maim him for life, so he can only "trail along back with the buggies while she is right up with the hearse" Ever and anon in his arguments he has to fall back on his stock phrases, "Woman's Sphere' Neglected home du- ties" etc, until he tries to make her feel like a heather mother throwing her chil- dren into the Ganges while the home goes to the "Demnition bow-wows." He pictures her at the polls, josting with black and white, elbowing her way amid the great unwashed to cast her vote-ever clamoring for her right of suffrage. Visions of trous- CTS and suspenders once his seem to hang in her wardrobe-if not on her. Really II the queen of clubs should be turned for trumps, such a man would throw up his hand and call for a new deal, unless, per- chance, she were queen of cooking club.
 Then there is the humorous newspaper correspondents view Illustrated by this con- Veration:
 ''I don't sec said MT. Mulberry, 'why you women have that Mrs Watkins in your lit- erary club. The rest of you are bright enough but she's dull as dull can be"
 "It is this way" answered Mrs. Mulberry; Mrs. Watkins great grandmother's hall sisters second cousin by marriage could trace her descent from Chaucer. So you see after all, with such literary claims we couldn't very well leave Mrs. Watkins out"
 A well known commercial travellers opin- lon: "The woman's club of today is good thing The young woman is ahead of her brother, and the married woman of her husband, because especially in small towns, the men are occupied with financial pur- suits. while the women read and discuss with each other in their club the current events of the day. When I go into a com munty, can tell every time when the girls have come under the influence of some bright club woman, who often, without knowing it, has benefited them. The work that women's clubs are doing in the matter of scattering reading material through the country alone, is worth while for them to have come into existence.
 What do I think of womens clubs? We'll, that depends upon what kind of a club it is. If the club expresses Itself in the form of a rolling pin, or a base ball bat in the hand of an enraged feminine athlete-it may be dangerous. If the club is manifest ed in a game of euchre or seven, up, as trefoil right bower of trumps, it may be depressing to a male opponent and oc- casion undue exaltation in the femaie

Discussion of omcial Organ

The resolution in regard to consolidating Woman's Work and the New Era was in- troduced by Mrs. Chappel Cory or Mont gomery and was as follows:
 Resolved, That the State Federation of

Miss Chisolm is tall and stately, and is noted for her brunette beauty and her bril- liant coloring. At the reunion of 1891, which was held in Birmingham, Miss Chs- olm was "Columbia'' in the principal tao leauX, and as such excited great admira- ton.
 Miss Enslen is Birmiag an girl, and is the daughter of Eugene r. Easlen and the granddaughter of Christian |. Enslen. The Enslen family have always taken a most active interest in the upbuilding of the dis trict and are now among the most promi- nent citizens of Jefferson county.
 c. F. Enslen enlisted in the confederate army at the beginning of the civil war, as a private in Captain Loomis company, from Wetumpka, which company was a part of the Third Alabama. On account of his extraordinary mechanical ability MT. Enslen was afterwards transferred to the ordnance department of the service, where he served as master machinist until the end of the war.

mind. If the club be a feminine associa- tion in which ladies have to study up some thing, and then talk it in writing, the un- wonted exercise may prove a salutary dis cipline. At any rate, a properly conducted culture club, may give a tired man a much needed rest-a sort of vacation as it were at home, even if it accomplish no other good.
 One man says: It is not so much what a man says about clubs, as what he does not say. In one respect he thinks they are to be highly commended, in that they tend to destroy the love of gossip, and cultivate a taste for higher thought and ideas but he also asks if there is not danger of weaning the members of clubs from the beauty of the home circle, saying, is not the mother 8 true club her own family, and the training and teaching she gives her little ones, as they cluster around her, the highest type of club life?

asked to choose between two sets of lec- lures, the essayists and the novelists, gave their vote in favor of the latter. The writ CTS of fiction discussed and the order in which they were reated were: Scott, Dickens Thackery, Hawthorne, George Elliot and Stevenson. Each lecture showed scholarly preparation and was full of inter- est, no matter whether one agreed with the lecturers views or not. For example, MT. Troop placed Scott above all the nov .l- ists who have ever lived, and while some of his audience may have given their hear ty assent to this estimate of the great Scotchman, others demurred. But even those who failed to agree with him in his conclusions must have recognized the faith fitness of his portrayal of Scott and appre- ciated the ability with which he held his position. As word limner MT. Troop cer- tainly proved himself master.
 In his discussion of Dickens the lecturer was full of sympathy with his subject and assessed the author of David Copperfield' at very high value. The Thackery lecture seemed to give unbounded satisfaction. By many indeed it was regarded as his most brilliant and entertaining effort. But it was in the Hawthorne lecture that MT Troop showed his finest power of analysis As one of the most cultured members of the "circle afterwards remarked: "If he had done nothing more than point out and em phasize the fact that The Marble Faun' was an a1legory to trace the development of a human soul, his lecture would have been well worth the price of a season ticket" MT. Troops maintained correctly that Flaw thorne was the prince of the psychological

MISS WILMA ENSLEN.

The accompanying illustrations give ex- cellent lilxenesses of Miss Louisa s. Chis- olm, of Birmingham, Alabama's sponsor to the confederate reunion in Charleston in May, and Miss Veima Ens1en, also of Birmingham, Miss Chisolm's maid of honor.
 No farer or more representative girls could be found in Alabama. Both are the descendants of confederate veterans, and altogether are most attractive young wom- en. They will do full justice to the state they represent in the galaxy of southern beauties which will be assembled at Charleston.
 But Alabama has always been noted for the beauty and attractiveness of the spon- sors by which it was represented at the reunions.
 In 1892, at the New Orleans reunion, Ala bama was represented by Miss Fannie Morrow, of Birmingham. She afterwards married pr. George Brown, of this city, but died in the prime of her young woman hood a few years ago.
 In 1894, at the Birmingham reunion, Ala

THEY WANT DIVIDENDS
THE ALLEGED GRIEVANCES OF PAN
HANDLE STOCKHOLDERS.
Future of the MOnOn More Promising
Missouri Pacific Acquiring
Roads in the Southwest.

The grievance Of the Panhandle stock
holders appears to be that the directors Of
the company have expended a portion Of
their earnings in permanent Improvements,
instead Of distributing dividends. The ar
ticles of incorporation, it is claimed, pro-
vide that net earnings as declared by the
directors shall each year be paid in divi-
dends Each annual report has shown large
net earnings, yet no dividends have been
declared since 1895. Now the stockholders
have petitioned the court to appoint a re-
ceiver to distribute the surplus fund-that
is, the present surplus fund of 100000. The
minority stockholders claim that over
100000 has been diverted from dividends
into Improvements. Those informed as to
the matter question whether the expenditure
of IS, 100000 in improvements can iE any man.
ner be construed to be a grievance, taking
the position that, had the money been dis
tributed in dividends, the stockholders would
simply have put it into one pocket and taken
it out Of another; that either the property
would have deteriorated or an added burden
of fixed charges would have been placed be-
fore the stock. 1t is stated, however. that
the directors might have avoided the contro-
versy by charging the permanent improve
ments to operating expenses before declaring
net earnings, as did President ingalls, with
the Chesapeake & Ohio
