WOMEN's CLUBS ODD NAMES.
Number of Titles Which Are
Rather Enigmatic and DIM
cult to Pronounce,

The woman's club movement has as
sumed such an extent that it has attract
ed the attention of the United States
department of labor, which has recent
ly issued an elaborate report on the at
titude of women's clubs toward social
economics, says the Pittsburgh Chron-
icle-Telegraph. Accompanying the ar
ticle are some statistics which indicate
that there are few settlements of any
size in our glorious country without q
woman's club. Re name, location and
purpose of each of 1888 women's clubs
are given in detail, and it appears that
this by no means exhausts the list. An
examination of the list shows that next
to the local title of woman's club Shake
speare's name is favorite one.
There are number of titles which
are rather enigmatic. What, for in
stance, is the meaning of "the Leshche,"
the name of a club at Dalton, Ga. :?
Then there is the Mike" of Chicago,
the "Theristrial' of Marion, Ia; the
"Anarkrisians" of Sioux City, the cam
moncongin" of Cumberland Mills, Me-;
the "Methebesic" of Rockland, Me-; the
"Heptorean" of Somerville, Mass; the
''Alsbicc" of Grand Rapids, the "Chiro-
pean' and the "Photerone," both of
Brooklyn, and the "Ardirhebriah" of
Providence. Such names as 'Tekcos-
now" and "So-go-ye-wat-ha" are per-
haps of Indian origin. There is frank
ness in the title of 'Old Maids Social
club" of Woonsocket, which inspires re-
spect. 1t is, however, doubtful whether
anything descriptive is meant by the
title of the "Nashaway" club of Nashua,
N. n. There is an Anthony club, but no
Cleopatra club.

ADMIRAL DEWEY's HEALTH.
Some Foundation For the Recent
Alarming Reports.

Washington, March 9.-When his at
tention was called to the dispatch from
Vancouver to the effect that Admiral
Dewey is breaking down and cannot
last month longer, Secretary Long
said that he had no information what
ever on this point. The stories of the
admiraTs ill-health have been in circu-
Iation with more or less persistency for
the past four months. They are all
traceable to private reports and,
though officers of the navy who have
returned recently from Manila state
that Dewey's health, so far as it could
be gauged from his appearance, Sp-
pears to be about the same as it has
been for the past year, they agree that
the private reports probably have q
fair basis of fact.
1t is not denied by those officers that
Admiral Dewey has changed in ap-
pearance in the past year. His hair is
undoubtedly winter and his figure
shows signs of weakness. which might
be expected to come with advancing
years. Dewey will be 81 years old next
December, and for many years has not
been a strong man physically. Mean
time he has had imposed upon him the
most exacting duties, so that it is but
natural that his frail physique should
show the effect of the tremendous
strain. 1t is said by persons 1aInlnar
with the Philippine climate that the
second wear is the hardest to bear for
a, Caucasian, and Dewey will soon be-
gin his second year there. In addition
to this. he labors under the drawback
of having undergone a most severe sur
gicaI operation for the relief of his liver.
A man needs q. sound liver in the Phil
ippfnes. of all places. These facts lead
naval officers to believe reports that
Dewey is showing signs of physical
strain.
ON the other hand. as already stated,
there is absolutely no official evidence
on file at the department to show that
this is true The full medical history
of Admiral Dewey is among the records
of the bureau of medicine and surgery
They show every ailment that he has
experienced since he has been in the
navy. as well as the results of the ply
sical examinations he has undergone
when he has been promoted from time
TO time. But these do not disclose any
compIaint at this time. The admiral
has not been made the subject OF sick
report since he went to Manila. Soma
