TO CLUB WOMEN IN GENERAL.
President of G.. +. w. e.. Writes an
Open Letter which will be of In
terest to Messenger

Mrs. James Sidney Peck, president
of the General Federation of Woman'S
Clubs, has issued a letter to club wo-
men in general which will be of in
terest to many readers of The Messen-
ger, who are members of various clubs.
The letter is as follows:
Milwaukee, Wis, March, 1900.
To Club Women in General:
The announcement that the @. F.
w. c. biennial of 1900 will be held in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, June 4th to Sth
inclusive, has been widely heralded.
The reputation of previous ~biennialS
and the representative character of
the present CT. F. w. c.. officers and
programme committee seem a Suffi-
cient guarantee that the fifth biennial
will equal, is not surpasS, those that
have preceded it; but, agreeable to
suggestion, the biennial local board
willingly prepares a statement relat-
ing to the local environment of the
biennial.
To the generally accepted verdict
that Milwaukee is a beautiful city,
conveniently located as regards rail-
road facilities (reduced rates, etc.,
with fine hotel accommodations and
private homes available if required,
there may be added a general willing
ness to make very effort to Insure the
success of the biennial, while the invi-
tation to our city having been extend
ed by the Citizens Business League,
and every club, federated or unfeder-
ated, having pledged it's cooperation
are sufficient proof of a widespread
interest. Committees under the leader
ship of chairmen specially fitted for
their work IA been formed to meet
every need, four new committees hav-
ing been added to those in force at
Denver namely, art, reception, intro
duction and nonresident introduc-
ton. The first named, art, will have
in addition to it's local features the CO.
operation Of the G. F. w. C. art COM
mittee, the remaining three having
been formed in the interest of hospi-
tally.
The alert G.. F. w. c.. programme
committee wisely says may" to every
hint relating to the details of the pro-
gramme, but it promises rare excel
lence on all the accepted lines, educa-
ton, industrial education, art, ETC.,
each occupying a prominent place.
The biennial local board entertain

The Condition of Porto Ricans Grows
Steadily Worse.

Ponce. Porto Rico, April 11.-At no

Porto Rico been as bad as it is today.
About 80 per cent. of the islanders

is made VI of a mixture of all races.
In the other 5 per cent. are included
the well-to-dO educated people, such as
merchants, planters and professional
men n their families. This class is
able to pass through such times as
now prevail without actual physical
suffering, but their business affairs are
at a Standstill and have been for a
long time. This deprives the majority
of the large laboring class of a means
of livelihood. These people have prac-
tically no furniture of utensils in their
miserable novels and they live from
land to mouth.
Their hardShipS a v been greatly
added to by the scarcity of fruit since
the hurricane and its consequent in
crease in price. Oranges are very scarce
as compared with former years, and
bananas of all kinds are still absent
from the markets. Salt fish, rice and
beans have been imported free of duty
since the hurricane. bur little of the
benefit derived from this has gone to
the poems, and now that Is per cent.

tated to import large stocks because
of the prospect Of free trade, and the
present scarcity is also a cause for the
advance in prices. Rice has gone UP
80 to 80 per cent, beans so per cent.
or ever more, while salt fish has ad-
| vanced about 40 per cent.
Men, women and children have been
leaving the country districts and flock

begging and living on what little the
charitable societies are able to give
them, and at night sleeping on door
steps. under trees, in the corridor of
the town hall, on the stone floor or
wherever night overtakes them and
they can lie down. Thousands of chill

school on account of ~nakedness.
San Juan, Porto Rico, April IL
; General conditions in Porto Rico re-
main the same from week to week.
Delegations of country people continue
to arrive at the governors palace al
most daily and beg for relief.
Without doubt thousands Of Porto
Ricans are destitute and without work
one need but glance at the poor, rag
ged, barefoot poems, notice the ex-
pressions Of want and restitution, to
be convinced Of this fact.
The condition of the laboring class
VIII be materially relieved in a
few weeks. Contracts for the
building of nine new roads from
were let a few days ago. The p
