An ExcIusfOe Society.

Mrs. Helen Douglass. the widow OF
Fred Douglass. In communication to
the Boston Transcript, makes a neat
point against the members of the May
flower society Of the District of Co
lumbia, in which she resides. It seems
that last autumn she made personal
application for admission to that So
ciety. The application was accepted
by the president of the society, a Mr..
Marsh OF Connecticut. an employee Of
the pension bureau. Subsequently.
when he realized who Mrs. Douglass
was. he quietly tore up the application
without submitting 1t to the member
ship or notifying Mrs. Douglass OF his
action. Mrs. Douglass followed the
matter up. and asked for an explana-
ton, to which Mr.. Marsh replied that
the admission to the society of white
woman who had married a black man
would have made trouble. and been the
cause OF designations. Mrs. Douglass
naturally protests against the unbusi-
nesslike methods OF the president OF
the society. and on the merits OF the
situation fittingly rebukes the mem
bers. She reminds them that "the
