Mrs. Sheldon G. Clark, the teacher of
the class, has studied her subject
thoroughly and explains the philosophy
of the law most entertaining ly and yet
always with an idea towards making
them practical. she is lawyer and
has been teaching parliamentary law
for many years, having taught many
classes of club women in the big cities,
east and west. She IL alsO woman
of very pleasing address and nimble
wit. The class is really q great oppor-
tuuity for Ell Psso women and the more
that take up the study. the better will
the club work of the city be. Besides il
Is an entertaining class. The indivi-
dual who said that women are without
humOr never attended q woman's club.
From the great convention of the
Equal Suffragtsts down to little
parliamentary law class like Ell Paso's,
the women ALWAYS light uD their seri-
GUS work with CLEANS of humor. Club
women are as q rule earnest but not
ponderous. They have that keen
sense of the ridiculous which has been
called American. Perhaps club life
developes feminine humor, certain it is
that sunny quality is inevitably present
at their clu bs but not inevitable when
they are making calls.

to see and this strength Of ones owo
conviction goes to make successful
refOrmsr. only the successful refOrmer
needs more. This world Is steadily
getting better but it seems obstinate
about choosing its own pace. General
iy speaking, it IS only by the slow
course of fathers aud mothers handing
down their portions of righteousness
to sons and daughters and teaching
them that it is life's best privilege to
increase the portion. the little toat is
possible in lifetime, that the world
progresses towards perfectness of liv-
ing. There are cases of great reforms
being wrought in one generation. but
they are rare. Reformers usually do
but shout themselves hoarse and dis
turb the peace. They also disturb the
worlds couoeit which is good for the
world. But it is the common people,
advancing slowly aad with ever widen
ing vision of the right and an ever
higher standard OF private and public
honor, that really establish this worlds

Some of the biggest of the local COM
panies are baking at the agreement

convention. They were all willing
enough yesterday to amend their no.
tees to conform to this demand. but
day they seem 10 have undergone a
change of heart and only one operator
of any prominence would say outright
that he would make the modification.
They say 1t would be humiliating for
them to some out with an amendment
to their notices.
AS one prominent operator put 1t:
The modification would serve but
one purpose and that is to crafty a
whim of John Mitchell. We don't pro-
pose to wave any energy bowling and
scraping to Mr.. Mitchell"
The Connell Coal Company is the only
one to send out the amendment to the
notice. No other company would even

Much disappointment was expressed
in this region to-day because an early
ending OF the strike was prevented by
reason of the powder grievance. What

THE FAMINE IN INDIA.
LORD CURZON'S ACCOUNT OF RE

(By Telegraph to Virginian- Pilot)
Simla. Oct 19.-The Viceroy. Lord
Curzon. OF Kedlcston. in a speech be-
fore the Council to-day, said the
famine had affected a quarter of the
population of India. and that even now
two millions OF people were receiving
relief. He expressed the hope, how
ever. that in month these would re-
turn to their homes.
His LordShip further said that half a
million deaths were traceable to the
famine. and that the loss of the crops
involved the loss ofChfty millions sterl-
ing, plus some millions for the loss OF
cattle. 1t will never be known how
many were affected by the calamity
among the hill people and wandering
tribes. while the aims distributed were
unprecedented.
! the end Of August S54 Iakhs of
rupees had been expended and the gov
eminent, further, expected to spend $50
lakhs UP to March next. Besides this.
23S lakhs OF land taxes had been adj
vanced to cultivators. many lakhs of
land taxes had been RENTED, 3Is crores
had been lent to the native States and
nearly a million sterling had been con-
tributed by private charity.
The Viceroy complimented the relief
committees. alluded to many instances
OF native chivalry and devotion and to
English military and civil servants
dying at their posts. and said the cot
ton crop was worth thirteen millions
sterling on the ground.
Abiding to the shocking mortality in
the native States. Lord Curzon said
that. broadly speaking. no relief sys-
tenn in the world could counteract the
effects Of reduced food, the cessation OF
wages, high prccs and the breaking I'D
OF the homes OF millions, or prevent
pestilence following famine.
