Men and Women In Clubs.

Who knows but that the American
man and the American woman may de
eide to mix and make up" in club life?
But a short time ago the Chicago
South Side club. a coterie of the ''eter-
nal sisterhood." decided to admit men
as associate members. This means they
{the mem shall have the privilege of at
tending and participating in the litera-
ry sessions. but may not hold office nor
have voting voice in the management
of the club Precisely the same plan
has been followed for some time by the
Twentieth Century club in Marshall
town, Ia, also an organization of wo-
men.
Though such instances are rare in
America, they are undoubtedly the fore
runner of our ideal club of the future,
q club wherein both men and women
may enjoy club life together. The wo-
man who is given so seriously to re-
forming the universe will have to add
more of the social sauce to the club
code if man is to find enjoyment. And
man, on the other hand, will have to
add a little charity work to the seven
course dinner IL the fair sex is to be
satisfied. l ay be question as to

AIexandra's Kindness.

During The nearly forty years of her
life in England the queen has been in
strumental, directly or indirectly, in OBJ
tanning subscriptions to philanthropic
and charita BILE work to the extent OF
$3.50, 100000. Her sweetness. generosi-
ty, sympathy and thoughtfulness are
proverbial and are reflected in her face
as they are radiated by her life. She is
deeply religious and is charitable and
careful in her Judgment. rarely ex-
pressing condemnation of any one. She
loves informality and is always to be
seen by those in trouble. AS Princess
of Wales she regularly visited the hos
pitfalls and made the poor her special
charge.
story told to illustrate her kindness
of heart is that of an elderly lady in
waiting to her mother, the late queen
Of Denmark. In one of King Chris
tian's weekly letters to his daughter he
wrote that the old lady was dying and
that her one last wish was TO speak
again to her dear Princess Alex" AT
that time it was impossible for Alexan-
Gira to leave England, but she spoke ii
long, tender message of love and hope
and remembrance into a phonogra ph
and sent it by special courier to Co
penhagen.
It arrived only short time before
the old lady's death, but il made her
last hours serenely happy.-Ledger

Mrs. MoOre's Experience.

The Women's club of New Orleans
was recently addressed by Mrs. Mar
guerite Moore, one of the lecturers at
the Catholic Winter school in that city.
Mrs. Moore talked of clubwomen and
the benefits conferred by the club and
related some amusing personal expert
ences. The Picayune reports her as
saying that in every way the club was
a benefit to women. It's influence is
broadening, and the club life is engag-
ing more and more the attention of
women. 1t was mistaken idea to sup
pose that meetings of men were con-
Quoted better than those of women
Women could conduct meeting with
greater attention to detail than men
and with less wrangling. She had once
served as the only woman on a commit
tee of 100 men. She was chairman of
subcommittee and of course had ev-
erything her own way, as the men
would not talk back at her. But the
hairsplitting words, the wrangling and
lack Of method among themselves! She
had been to many WOmen's meetings,
but none could equal those. Just as ev-
erything was supposed to be settled
and the vote was about to be taken up
would rise a man and begin to thrash
out all the old arguments again, and so
business would be Obstrllcted. She
would sometimes rise on such occa-
sions and say. Gentlemen. please OBJ
serve that it is not the female element
that is obstructing the business"

COUNT
COST OF STRIKE

Pittsburg, Sept. 20. = President
Shaffer when asked when his looked
for statement would be made said it
would hardly be before Saturday. He
has been working on it and predicts
his course will be endorsed by ALL
The conditions published he says are
wrong and far from the truth. The
great Riverside works of the National
Tube company, at Wheeling and Ben
wood, w Va, will resume operations
Monday. They will employ upwards
of 1000 men. Experts are ausy COM
putting the cost of the strike On the
estimate that $4,000 men were idle
two months and half their loss in
wages approXimates $10,000,000. The
gross earnings of the company was
cut off nearly $15,O00,000. 1t is esti-
mated the Amalgamated association
carried 5000 of it's membership into
the strike out Of about $4,000 men
when the strike started and the cut
come of the contest has lost recogni-
ton for $500 of these men.

stalking.

Berlin, Sept. 22.-Affairs OF the
United States occupy much attention
Considerable biographical and anecdo-
tai matter about the late president and
Roosevelt is printed. Roosevelt's
probable policy and the possibilities of
the cabinet and congress excite great
interest. Neus Leben, the anarchist
sheet which had suspended reappeared
yesterday. The issue was chiefly de-
voted to articles in connection with
the assassination of President McKin-
ley saying: I'VE can neither approve
of the deed, nor condemn the doer."
Emperor William is spending several
days in the country estate of Cadienen
He will spend next week Devastating

The tariff discussion grows warmer
The Kreuz Zeitung points out that tha
Dingley act offers model to follow
by permitting 20 per cent. reduction
of duties for reciprocity treaties. The
speech of Herr Moeller, the Prussian
minister of commerce, threw cold wat
er upon the exaggerated agrarian
hopes by insisting on compromise with
the agrarian press. He attacks Noel
Ter violently clubbing him "Caprivi
Moeller.' Elberfeld in the chamber
of commerce unanimously condemned
the tariff bill because of the extraord-
mary increase of duties on the neces-
saries of life.
While the papers devoted much
space to the festivities in France, dis
cussions on the subject show Germany
was little concerned. All the cars
utterances in France are understood
as meaning no interference in the af-
fairs of other nations. German papers
reproduce utterances of N. De Caissa-
ignac and other French Chauvinists in
effect that the Franco-Russion alliance
is devoid of practical advantage for
France and means the financial renun-
citation of the lost provinces.

French Kongo is without French
woman, and there is crashing of teeth
in local official circles. 1t appears that
last year the colony was frightened
by the presence of thirteen ladies. the
wives of French officials, but these
soon sickened, and the government,
finding the cost of transport too much,
Informed its colonial servants that
they would not be allowed to take out
their wives at the national expense.
Now. a decree of December, 1897,
states that inasmuch as wives ought to
follow their husbands to the colonies
their fares backward and forward
would be betrayed by the colonial of
fee Therefore the recent government

difficulty the colonial office will be
compelled to send out only bachelors
to the colony.-London Express.

Earrings Again.

Earrings have become general fash
ion once again-that is to say, single
pearls, turquoises, emeralds or dia-
monds are seen on the ears of many
women. But this does not mean that
they have submitted to having their
ears pierced. for the modern earring
clips on to the ear and obviates the ne
cessity for that small operation. Fash
ion, however, thinks little of such
trifies as the girl Of long ago showed
when her indignant father remonstrat-
ed with her for having her ears dis
figured" ''You might" said he, las
well wear a ring in your nose" To
which the fair maiden replied, so |
should if the fashion came in and the

BOER VICTORY
STIRS ENGLAND

London, Sept. 22.-While Mr. Kru-
ger and DR.. Leyds are drawing up Pc
titiOnS to President Roosevelt and the
! czar asking them to intervene, the
| fighting beers are helping themselves
in south Africa by celebrating the ex-
piration of the period in which Lord
Kitchener proclaimed they must sur
render by four notable successes, kill
ing 6S officers and men, wounding So
and capturing five guns and three hun
dred men.
The situation is singularly like the
opening of the war, two years ago, the
| names of the same places recurring in
the dispatches. Utrecht, where Major
Cough was entrapped, was the scene
of a similar ambuscade eighteen
months back. Acton Homes, where
the beers reappeared is eighteen mlles

the early hostilities, and the Natal

The governments publication of
these reverses causes an outburst of
evaporation against the conduct Of
the war, not in south Africa, but by
the ministry. The great ministerial
journals accuse the govern nent of
trying to run the war ION the cheap"
by not providing Lord Kitchener with
sufficient recourses.
The Times, while it has no misgiv-
ings as to the final issue, accuses the
home authorities of lack of organized,
sustained effort, of a disposition to
postpone military for financial consid
erations, and of failure to grasp the
moral and intellectual damage, which

them at Dawson. The women there

at the old occupations, and they are

Women Lawyers Deprecated.

Law Notes, a legal magazine pub
llshed in Northport, n. Y is in favor Of
allowing women to study and practice
law, but does not believe they will ever
succeed in the profession. 1t says,
among other things:
I'm some states the bar as career
has been open to women for forty years
or more. The impression which they
have made in such states as lawyers
and the influence which they have had
on the profession have been absolutely
imperceptible. We are told again and
again by the advocates of the policy
OF allowing women to enter the pro-
fesSion that with women at the bar
there would be fewer shysters, that
they would exercise a beneficial inf1u-
ence in upholding the dignity and fair
name of the profession, etc. Are there
fewer shysters in proportion to num-
bers or is the profession more dignified
and inspired by higher ideals in Chica-
go or New York, where women for
generation or more have been permit
ted to practice, than in Baltimore
where they are excluded? No. The
simple truth of the matter is that wO-
men as a class are not endowed by
their Creator with either the physical
or the mental attributes which fit them
for n legal career. There may be a
few marked exceptions, but the aver
age intelligent, cultured and educated
woman is no more fit for the practice
of law than the ordinary male is for
the position of leading soprano in q
church choir. BY all means, then. let
down the bars and let the women
come to the bar if they choose and
when they wish. but stop pratng about
the fear of female competition. Wo-
men are doing nObly their part of the
worlds work in countless lines of hui
man endeavor. but as lawyers they
never were and never will be sue
