publican nominee for reelection
made the following pledge in the
campaign OF 1897: "Should ! be

Rocky Ford against Sheriff Barr
by a certain individual who has a
personal grievance, is making
votes for Barr every day in the
week. Two years ago Sheriff Barr
had a majority in Rocky Ford over
both candidates, and his majority
this year over his fusion opponent
will be even greater. The fusion
aggregation is doing everything in
its power to make political capital
out OF the disaHection OF the one

Apropos OF the subject OF reorganizing
the q. F.. W. 9. it is not often that new
movement becomes so successful that il
has to be abandoned, but such seems to
be the case in regard to the National
organization. The biennial meetings
have grown 80 large that it is doubtful

from any city, and the business men OF
Milwaukee by whose invitation the com.
ing biennial is to meet in that city, will

tions only, thus throwing overheard the
individual clubs that have made the G,
f. w. Q. the pronounced success that il
IS today, appears to be rank injustice.
Another objection will be the increased
taxation Of the state declarations. The
financial question is the Chinese puzzle
of the Elk. Board of the Nebraska Fed and
will be as long as the dues are only 50 90
per annum for each club, and year books,
badges, and programs continue to cost
money. To increase the state taxation
to equal the revenue received by the
general federation under the pres ent
system OF representation where the ma.
jority Of it's funds come from the dues
paid by individual clubs would result in
the withdrawal Of many states from the
General Federation, and il the State
Federation increased the dues of the
local clubs 10 order to meet the incrsas-
ed State tax the consequences would be
that many local clubs would sever their
connection with the State Federation. an
it would be as broad as it is long. The

summer Nights Dream" as it's dramatic
entertainment for commencement. The
Holyoke play was given in the afternoon
about 5 O'Clock in grove on the hill
back Of the college, and as the actors
moved in and out among the trees the
soft coors OF their costumes made
charming contrast against the green
branches behind them. The fairies
tripped through their pretty dance,
Puck wrought his mchievous tangles
and the whole picture was pretty and
graceful.
The play was only incidental, and was
not one Of the main features OF com
mencement. The girls had been their
own trainers and stage managers, and
offered the play only as one more typical
entertainment for the great number of
guests that flooded the town and college

The girls at Wellesley gave for CON-

The latest surprise in the college world
is the resignation OF President Mead OF

ley. and the task Of recognizing the old
institution on new lines has been no
light one. When Mrs. Mead took charge
there were about 300 students. Now
there are $50, and last year $50 more
could have been received. There are
even now $50 applications for next fall.
Ten years ago the college possessed al
most no endowment, but now, thanks to

the best women's colleges Of the country
The force Of professors has been enlarg-'

what on that Of Smith College. The
cottage system in that institution has
proved eminently successful, and
though the sharing of domestic service
among the girls at Mount Hoiyoke
makes it radically different, still the ad-

Guilty to many American delegates, for
1t has been hard to follow all continental
delegates. We American women are

knowledge OF foreign languages as the
English. The congress showed me,
while Englishwomen have made great
advances in recent years, Americans yet
lead the van Of progress. You must re-
member the congress represents not
alone suffrage women, but women inter
ested in all kinds Of work-philan
thropic, social, religious, and industrial.
Many Of them have not yet advanced as
far as suffrage, but we regard them al
as our children, for until we suffrage
women organized there was no women's
organization whatever"
1.-THE chief result OF this congress
will be that women OF each different
nationality will become acquainted with
the work actually being done by women
OF every country. This teaches each
woman that her own nation is not the
only one in the world. and that there are
other people besides Me and my wife
and my son John and his wife The
English and Americans are apt to get
swelled heads about their respective
countries, and congresses like this will
tend to reduce them"
Mrs. May Wright Sewell, vice presi.
dent OF the congress says: II look for
one supremely important result OF this
congress. 1t brings women Of different
nationalties into closer sympathy and
enables us to join hands in promoting
the large principles in which we all be-
lievc. We have been able to demon.
strate, Tor example, that enlightened
women Of all countries are in favor Of
International arbitration"
The Rev. Anna Shaw says: "The
whole arrangement OF the congress is
convincing proof of the vast amount of
trouble and work taken by the English
officials to aid strangers. Nothing has
been left undone that could promote
the comfort of the delegates or smooth
the progress OF the great gatherings,
but am convinced it would have been
better had the speaking been put in the
hands OF trained platform speakers
rather than experts on different SUBJ is.
Many women experts spoiled admirable
papers because they did not know how
to deliver them. The congress affords
encouraging proof that the women
movement is not confined to America.
This congress reveals that altogether
the Englishwoman's great charm of
manner and kindness is more conserva.
tive than the American. She is apt to
adopt an air OF patronage towards the
American and attempt to instruct her
in things which the American thinks
she knows better than her teacher. The
Englishwoman cannot forget we are a
daughter nation. She fancies she still
has the maternal ght Of patronage and
instruction, She thinks, too, that class
distinctions and social life may be used
with Americans when dealing with
them"
