THE CHICAGO WOMAN'S ATH-
LETIC CLUB.


The most important event OF the club
year at Chicago has been the coming
into existence OF the famous Chicago
Woman's Athletic Club. Unique in it's
purpose. admirable in it's scope, and
superb 10 its execution, it stands far
and away above all club enterprises of
the season just past. Everybody I'D
mite that Mrs. Pauline Henriette Lyon
is the inspiration Of the club. and the
woman who chiefly has made 1t possible,
but Mrs. Lyon modestly disclaims 90
much credit, ascribing to the women
who rallied at her suggestion the fact
Of the clubs existence. In way this
is true, but the circumstances connected
with the very beginning Of the club
would have certainly dsunted a less
persistent and capable executive than
Mrs. Lyon. 1t is only about year ago
that in response to fifteen hundred in
vitstions sent out by her among the
leading women Of Chicago, there ap-
peared on the day appointed for con.
ference upon the matter the small and
om,nous number Of thirteen. The in.
terest Of Mrs. Philip D. Armour was
secured, however. at this meeting, and
with her name and personality at the
head Of the organization, its success
was positive. Numerous other we'll
known Chicago women-Mrs. Potter
Palmer. Mrs. Emmons Blaine, Mrs
Cyrus Mccormick, Mrs. Ferdinand
Peck, Mrs. Ogden Armour, Mrs. J. H
Eckels. Mrs. Charles Henrotin, and
more--are included among the promo:-
ers. At the opening few weeks ago

$50 Madison Avenue, opposite the Art
Building. all distinguished Chicago
passed in at it's gates.
The club will be conducted strictly on
the principles OF its incorp oration. 1t
will have no social or literary annexes,
although undoubtedly in it's pretty tea
room members will often linger for a
little social refreshment. To promote
the health and physical perfection Of
it's members is the purpose Of the club,
and every plan has been made and
executed with this end solely in view.

The Fight Against Trusts.

Daily Picayune:
If anyone entertained the least
doubt that the endless multiplied
ton of trusts and combinations
which has been in progress OF late
would lead to powerful popular
agitation against these trade cor
morants, he has no doubt by this
time discovered his mistake. The
action Of the Arkansas, Missouri
and Texas Legislatures was the first
indication Of the popular dlsaP'
prevail of the trusts; but such action
is but a forerunner of still more
radical and general movements
against the combinations.
Last evening there was a meeting
Of commercial men at the Board OF
Trade to protest against the trusts
and inaugurate an organized cru
SADIE against them. This meeting,
taken in connection with the recent

Association, which adopted strong

SUGAR INDUSTRY IN HAWAII.

The development of the sugar indus
try is so closely identified with the de-
velopment of Hawaiian commerce as to
make separate discussions almost SUI
perogatory. Sugar is practically Ha-
walls commerce, and Hawaii's com
merce is substantially sugar. OF the
1897 export figures of s16,021, 775, sugar
represented s15, 90,442 land of this to-
tai, s15,390, 223 came to the United
States). Incidentally let me note that
of the thirty millions of dollars invest
ed in Hawaiian sugar plantations,
twenty-five and one-half millions Is
American; Of the total population Of
the island (109,020). nearly one-quar-
ter (24653) are employed on the sug-
ar plantations; of the Chinese and Jap
anese inhabitants (45,00O), almost
half f21 ,000) are employed on the sug-
ar plantations. With this array of Zig
ures confronting him, the inqulring
reader will hardly challenge my state
ment of sugars relation to Hawaiian
commerce. -Harper's Weekly.
