General Underwood says Of his plans:
81 have designed a memorial rotunda
with mausoleum dome and rooms for
each State, wherein relics, records and
various other archives may be safely
kept for all time to come, and l have
further designed suitable hanging
space for portrait gallery Of renowned
Southern leaders, and personally pur-

South twenty or more magnificent por.

Confederate officers, both civil and mill.

propose to raise the requisite money,
and, as In the case Of the portraits to
donate the same to the association, to
be placed on either side Of the grand
flight Of steps to the portico of the said
proposed memorial building, provided
such meets with your approval.
"The maximum estimated round cost
OF the design | propose Is 100000, not
including statuary and portraits, and
calculating upon the building site being
donated. With the amount raised,

and other essential requirements of the
case In every particular.
MY general plan includes the plac-
Ing by each State of two statues, either
In bronze or marble, as may hereafter
be determined, to suit inside finish of

come up again at the next biennial con-
vention and the Massachusetts State
Federation, with which the New Era
Club is affiliated, will support Mrs.
Ruffin, as will doubtless, other North
ern clubs. This may lead to breaking
up of the federation.
Mrs. Rutfin, who is thus the leading
figure in this interesting situation, is a
woman of good education and of great
ability. She is almost white in color
and few would suspect her Of having
the blood of the black race In her veins
She is native Of Boston. Before she
was 16 she was married to George L.
Rutfin, who was one Of the handsomest
and ablest colored men in Boston He
was graduate of the Harvard Law
School, served several terms In the City
Council, two terms in the Legislature,
and when Gen. Benjamin f. Butler was
Governor he appointed Mr.. Ruffin to
judgeship in Charlestown, Boston, Civ
ing him the distinction Of being the
first colored man to occupy position
on the bench north of Mason and Dix
on's line. Judge Ruffin's prominence
early gave Mrs. Ruffin an opportunity
to see much of life, and before she was
30 she was identified with many move
ments concerning her sex and race.

MRS. JOSEPHINE RuFFIN.
Against Whom the "Color Line" Was
Drawn at Milwaukee.

Drawn at Milwaukee.
At the convention of the National
Federation of Women's Clubs at Mil
waukee the color line" was drawn and
now the question of the eligibility Of
colored women to white women's clubs
is being discussed throughout the land.
The color line" question was precipi-
tated in this way:
Some months ago the secretary of the
national federation sent to the New
Era Club, of Boston, an invitation to be
presented at the Milwaukee conven-
tion. The president and founder of this
club is n colored woman, Mrs. Josephine
ST. p. Rutfin, and believing that the in
vitation was extended in good faith
she went to Milwaukee to attend the
convention. The officers of the fedora
ton had not known that the New Era
Club was one for colored women and
when Mrs. Rutfin appeared at the con-
vention there was opposition to her and
her club from the Southern delegates
and from Southern women living in the
North.
The bosses" of the convention sought
to shelve the annoying question by re-
turning the fees of the New Era Club
on the plea that the Board of Directors
had not approved of the action of the
President in having accepted them. BY
this act the atfiliation of the New Era
Cub with the federation was denied
and Mrs Rutfin found herself without
the right of representation. She is de-
termined, however, to have more for
nal decision in the matter and has
taken legal advice. The question will

Confederates Will Erect a Memorial
at Richmond, Va.
The recent convention of Confederate
veterans held at Louisville voted to ac-
cept with thanks the offer of 100000
made by Charles Broadway Rouse of
New York, formerly soldier of the
Confederacy from Virginia, for the pur-
pose of erecting memorial to the Con-
federate dead at Richmond, Va. The
Memorial Committee reported that it
had secured pledges of $124, 437.35 in
addition, and that the prospect of rails
ing an amount sufficient to make the
total including Mr. ROuse's donation,
100000 was excellent. Upon these rep
resentatiOnS Mr.. Rouse has authorized
the Confederate Veterans Association
to draw upon him for the amount
pledged by him at any time it may be
thought advisable to begin the work.
The Confederate Memorial Association,
which has the enterprise in hand. he's
elected Judge George l.. Christian OF
Richmond, Va, as its treasurer, and
the memorial Is to be built In Rich
mond, the heart-city of the Confed-
eracy and the place where, for four
years, the policies and plans were
evolved in consequence of which the
South was enabled to make so memor-
able a struggle against inevitable de-
feat.
The definite arrangements for the
construction of the memorial do not yet
appear to have been completed by the
association, but General j. G. Under

SHOES OF THE "cELEsTlALs."
Comfort and Healthfulness of Their
Woven Straw Sandals.

Comfort and Healthfulness of Their
Woven Straw Sandals.
'I may seem to be quarreling with
my bread and butter" said an uptown
chiropodist to one of his best custom
ers the other day, but in my humble
and somewhat professional opinion the
most sensible of all men in the matter
of footwear is the Chinaman. Did you
ever notice his feet? l don't believe
there is such thing as a corn or bun
ion in all China. Chiropodists would
starve to death there so far as the re-
quirements of the masculine foot are
concerned. Whatever the deformitles
inflicted on the feet of women In China
may be, the men certainly enjoy sound
and comfortable understandings. Look
at the Chinese laundrymen here In
Washington; they stand at their work
eighteen hours day. No class OF
workingmen know of spend so many
hours on their feet as they do. Yet they
never break down there, and physically
they are wonderfully healthy race.
"Simple living and freedom from the
nervous pursuits Of our civilization may
have something to do with 1t, but l at
tribute their exemption from foot weak
ness and disease to the kind Of house
shoe so universally worn by them. l
have a pair that l have worn for sew
eral years, and l wouldn't wear any.
thing else for genuine indoor comfort
They are woven Of straw and seaweed
and soled with horsehide. There Is a
thick sole Of straw above the leather,
and through this the air can circulate
freely, keeping the muscles of the un'
der part of the foot always cool. The
laundrymen, you notice, are usually
barefoot, which is an added advantage
In the matter of healthfulness. There
Is about as little material in the uppers
as is consistent with the idea of shoe,
and this Is just enough to keep the thing
ON the foot. This upper, too, is woven
loosely Of seaweed, so that the air can
have access to the foot. Nowhere does
this shoe pinch or In the least degree
press the foot.
"These are the indoor shoes of the
Chinaman. On the street here In the
United States nowadays he wears very
commonly the leather shoes or boots
of American manufacture. That is one
Of the ways In which he Is becoming
Americanized. But the outdoor cloth
shoe of China is a great deal worn also.
That like the indoor shoe, is very
thick and soft In the sole, and the foot
Is never pinched or strained by 1t. The
healthiest footgear ever known prob.
ably was the sandal of the Greeks. II
had no upper, and, as you will see in
statuary, the feet Of men and women
were ideally perfect. All the sandal
afforded was a protection from the
ground. TO him who wears sandals,
say the Arabs, 1T is rs II the world
were shod with leather The China
men seems to follow out this motto, and
his shoes are merely soles and moth
ing more. But the great secret of the
excellence of his indoor shoe Is the half
inch straw hole. le."-Washington Star.
