ETHICAL CULTURE CLUB.

The Ethical culture club devoted the
entire session Tuesday night to the dis
cussion of character" Many opinions
were given and the discussion proved
exceedingly profitable to all present.
One member came with Century die
tionary upder her arm to show that the
word character was derived from the
Greek word carct. meaning mark: so it
must be distinguishing mark or char
acteristic. Another said that soul was
character, another that it was an ideal
In the mind of the individual, while some
commended that it was an accumulation
of actions Independent of the soul. and
one member thought it was inherited
from parents and ancestors. Many of
the great ones of the world were quoted,
among them Dryden, who said: "A
character, or that which distinguishes
one man from all others, cannot be sup
posed to consist of one particular virtue,
or vice. or passion only, but it is a COM
position of qualities which are not con-
trary to one another in the same per-
son." F. H. Green, writer on ethics.
says: "A character is only formed
through mans conscious presentation
to himself of objects as his good, as that
in which his self-satisfaction Is found"

The clubs of Butte need not think they
have a monopoly on troublous elections
Feeling ran so high in the Woman's
club in Chicago preceding the election
last Saturday that the papers published
columns and columns of interviews and
surmises Mrs. Ottow Matz and Mrs.
Robert E. Farson were the presidential
candidates and in addition to the most
damaging stories afloat, anonymous let
ters were circulated regarding the latter.
She turned the matter over to the Clue
and they took the matter up but all
their efforts to ferret out the offender
failed.
The Woman's club of Chicago is very
influential club, the largest In Chicago
and on several elections there We're
rumors of ballot stuffing. A long time
ago when the Chicagos Woman's club
was in its infancy and they We're un-

box in hire hand. In one side a small
slit had been cut.

would be 100 years before he was taken
at his true worth. He was spoken of
as second Mozart. His excitable
method OF playing was described. One
member heard his music played in
switzerland in the 7O's, where it was
said, Brahms is the coming poet of
music"
The programme was ended by the
singing of charming Brahms lullaby
by Mesdames Hobbs, Paine, Majors,
Price, Kelley. Fulton. Mcintyre and Miss
Pettibone.
Then the members Of the music de-
partment left the room. and everyone
knew something was going to happen.
Every member Of the department had
lovely clusters of flowers in the hair and
corsage bouquet. while on the presi-
dents desk was a network of smilax

and two magnificent bouquets. In one
corner of the room was large table
similarly decorated, and holding an i'm
mense cut glass punch bowl filled with
lemonade
Mrs. Donnelly arose and made a
PRETTY little speech about the Joys of
May Day in other places. She ended
with speaking of the delightful Nav
baskets, and how disappointed she al
ways was if she did not get a good
many. She spoke of the bowers the boys
used to erect, and said that while the
department could not provide bowers
mo How" they had done the best they
could to make everyone happy, and
make them remember that May Day and
flowers We're synonymous.
Then the door opened and in marched
the music department, laden with floral
beauty, cunning little baskets made of
dainty-hued crepe with handles, and
filled with such pretty flowers nesting
In beds of smilax. Every member and
every guest of the club received one, and
the whole room looked just like May
Day, the brightness Of the faces match
ing the brightness of the flowers.
Then it was announced that to one
man, one to whom the club had often
been indebted, was all this happiness
due-Mr. Wharton. And if he could
have heard the hearty vote Of thanks
ring out, he would have felt amply re-
paid for his generous donation. A vote
OF thanks was also given to the depart
ment. Then everyone ate cakes and drank
lemonade. and had real social session.

PRESIDENT AND CABINET
CONSIDER CHINESE QUESTION

the other powers are considered exor-
bitant and likely If insisted upsn to re-
suit ultimately in the crippling or dis
memberment Of the empire.
The United States will continue to
urge this view at every opportunity.
If the powers proceed alone and force
China to accede to their demands, this
government, of course, will accept the
share of the indemnity assigned to 1t
on the present basis. 1t can distribute
such amount as is necessary to liqui-
date the claims of our citizens, and
subsequently determine, If such a
course should be determined wise,
whether all the remainder should be
retained by this government as its
proper share. The United States Is not
in favor of the proposed scheme to
raise and guarantee an international
loan for China, out of the proceeds Of
which she can liquidate her indebted
ness to the powers. The United States
is willing to accept the bonds of China
without Endorsement by any power, at
3 per cent. interest, and thus make
manifest to the world the sincerity of
the American profession proclaimed at
the very outset that the United States
desire to help China to her feet, and

our readers. For Quay has been n ma

litical generalship did much toward
the election of Harrison, and the long
line of acrimonious political combats

Ogden, Utah, May 26.-Mrs. McIlin-
ley had passed a comfortable night
crossing the Sierras last night, but the
trip to-day was looked forward to with
some apprehension. The rain, howev-
er, relieved the anxiety, and DR.. Rix-

ley was standing the trip very well.
She suffered no inconvenience from the
rarefied atmosphere.
On the way back to Washington the
President and members of the cabinet
are devoting good deal of time to
the consideration of the Chinese situa-
tion. The declination of the other
powers to join in the suggestion with
regard to scaling down the indemnity
demanded of China was n great disap-
pointment, though it could hardly be
said that it was entirely unexpected.
The necessities of European powers of
the maintenance of their large armies
and navies are perhaps factor in
their present action. The President and
members of the Cabinet feel that this
government was right in protesting
against exactions which might force
China to the wall, and from the posi-
ton taken by the United States there
will be no retreat. The demands of

The Outlook for France.

De O1ssOON y "
The speech made last week in the
French Chamber of Deputies by NJ.

fairs, can hardly fail to attract atten-
tion all over Europe. He declared that
the relations of France and Russia had
never been more cordial. and he init
mated that the recent reception of
Italian warships at Toulon might have
Important political consequences. The
fact that M. Delcasse's visit to st.
Petersburg has been followed by ar
rangements for placing the new Rus
sian loan in Paris shows that the Rus
sian government can continue to count
upon the financial resources of the
French people. Just what is the quid
pro quo to be given for renewed pc
cuniary aid M. Delcasse forebore to
say, although he was interpellated on
the subject. 1t is certain that, o3ten-
sibly, Russia alone has been gamer
thus far from the alliance with France;
but 1t Is probably more than n coin
cidence that. simultaneously with the
Issue OF the new Russian loan, the Ber-
lin government has ordered that the

sian army now quartered in Poland

part would compel Germany to array
against 1t large part OF her military
