LONDON, June S.-Over and over again
one hears the opinion expressed that moth

Russia. In diplomatic circles nothing else
is talked about There exists now an ex-
element among the diplomats such as has
not been known for years and which en-
tirely eclipsed all attention hitherto given
to the war in South Africa.
There exists in financial circles all the
preliminaries of a panic, which sentiment
has affected all the markets and quite
neutralized the anticipated effect of the
good news from South Africa.

THE ATLAS CLUB,

A happy thought is that of the At
las Club who are studying our country,
state by state this year. At their next
meeting, they will be concerned with the
much neglected history of the Carolinas.
There where the government of the
crown was most direct, some interesting
problems We're worked out and the revo-
luton found the colonists full as ready
for the hardships and lE,zards of the
revolution as were the s~elf-governing COL
onies of the north. 1t is probable that
the inhabitants of the two proprietary
colonies were heartily tired of the I'M
practical governmental theories of Locke
great psychologist though he was. 1t
Is true that their devotion to the cause of
freedom was severely tried and fully
proved. The old standard history of Car
DINA was the work by Ramsay, but
within the past few years Mr.. McCrady
has given the subject a thoroughly new
treatment.
The mystery hat surrounded the band
of heroes who turned back the triumph
ant progress of the British at Kings
Mountain, is cleared up with conclusive
logic and in a fascinating style by Ed
mund Kirke in his Rear Guard of the

THE HOMER CLUB.

With the Homer club the subject forthe
week before our national thanksgiving
is extensive enough to satisfy the most
eXacting. Several ladies will take up the
subject Of the most important century,
at least to us-that the world has seen.
End of the century day is probably con-
dered at the last meeting in November,
because the attention of the ladies is
apt to be distracted from so great a
subject in the absorbing duties Of the
coming month.
A great century mas the nineteenth
been. One hundred years ago there was
no railroad whirling over thousands of
miles of country, at sixty miles an hour.
There was no electric telegraph that car
ries though quicker than thought it.
self. There was no highly developed art
of photography. There was even no fric-
ton match.
If only the political changes of the CEN
fury are considered, the result is surrris-
ing enough. In the year eighteen hun
dred, the United States contained eight
cen states, two territories and the Dis
trict of Columbia. 1t was ounded by the
Mississippi river on the west and it's
southern boundary did not touch the gulf
Of Mexico. There We're about five mil
lion inhabitants in this little nation, ONE
sixth of whom We're slaves. The nation
was struggling with financial difficulties
and so weak in a military sense as to o..
subjected to insult by the pirates of the
Barbary coast. Today there are forty
five populous and wealthy states whose
dominion is respected everywhere on the
Atlantic n extends to both sides Of the
Pacific. So far from fearing the buccan-
GERS, there are some among us who are
afraid that we will become pirates our
selves.
The changes in other nations nave been
only less marked. Africa a hundred years
ago was entirely unknown except in tie
n rthern part Nearly all Europe was
subject to France. Asia and Polynesia
We're given up to pagans and cannibals.
But nations come and go. Perhaps the
political changes of the past century
have been nearly equalled in other days.
Yet when it comes to scientific and in
dustrial progress the nineteenth century
cannot be paralelled. DIR. Wallace, in his
book, the Wonderful Century, claims

THE WOMAN'S CLUB.

The ladies of the Woman's Club will
next week take up some of the practicael
questions of industry and polietics. The
relations of club women to the wage
%earners, n the very practical question
of civil service reform come before them.
On the former subject" there has been
much said in the writings of many bright
women of the day, among whom perhaps
Mrs. Helen Campbell may be mentioned
as one of the brightest and most practi-
cal.
On civil service reform the two stand
ard historical works are Eaton's Civil
Service in Great Britain, and Comstock's
Civil Service in the United States. The
publications of the Civil Service Reform
Association and the speeches pro and con
in congress are also to be consulted.

For some weeks past the Inter Noun
tain has followed the programmes of the
various women's clubs in the two mining
cities, with a view to offering some COM
ments on the subjects under considera-
ton and of suggesting material to assist
in the preparation of the topics to be
considered. For the next meeting of the
Woman's Literary Club of Anaconda
there is no set subject given in the print
ed programme, but a social session is
evidently to take it's place, hence no DIS
