Blake was a dashing cavalry officer, and
when stationed at a western post married

Africa. Since then he has been heard OF

The frontispece in The Illustrated Bee
this week is given over to a new portrait
OF the recently elected president of the
Nebraska State Federation Of Womans
Clubs. The activity Of the women in their
club organizations in this state has entered
into almost every field OF usefulness in which
united effort conduces to the public and in
dividual good, These clubs have become an
educational factor in the state, supplement
ing the schools and libraries and bringing
instructive discussions to members of the
household who would otherwise be isolated
from them. The recent meeting of the state
federation at York is reported to have been
most successful, not only in the way of at
tendance, but also in the hlgh-class papers
read and subjects considered. and this Is the
best OF evidence that the club movement
among Nebraska women ia still strong and
potent.

TO PROCLAIM
PEACE TO-DAY
Ratifications of the Paris
Treaty Will Be Exchanged
at the White House.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-A Washing
ton special to the Herald says: Peace
will prevail between the United States
and Spain after o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. At that hour the formal ex-
change Of ratifications of the treaty of
Paris will occur at the White House.
In anticipation of such exchange. the
State Department is preparing a formal
proclamation, which will be issued i'm
mediately after the ceremony. an
nouncing to the world that peace once
more exists between the Madrid and
Washington Governments. Telegraphic
dispatches announcing the fact will be
sent to the American diplomatic repre-
sentatives abroad, but no formal state
ment will be communicated to the dip
lomatic corps here, the members of
which will receive their information
from the proclamation Of the President.
Unlike many ceremonies Of a similar
nature which have taken place abroad,
the proceedings tomorrow will be de-
void Of ostentation. None of the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps. except
En7hassador Cambon, First Secretary
Thiebaut and Chancellor Boeufve, COM
prising the French Embassy, will be
present, and the President will be sur
rounded by Secretary Hay and other
officials of the State Department. sew
eral members of his Cabinet and the
Executive Mansion staff.
In anticipation Of the return of peace
consideration is being given by the
President and Secretary Hay TO the ap-
nofntrnent of a Minister to Spain and
commandment of Consuls in that coun-
try. 1t is the understanding Of the Of
fcials that Spain will designate the
Due d'Arcos as Minister to this coun-
try. and the best information obtain
able shows that the President will
probably direct the transfer Of Law
renee Townsend, now Minister to Por-
tugal, to Madrid.
