Those present of the officers-elect Of the
Anti-Saloon League for 1901 were installed

Mrs. Clinton Smith, president of the W.
G. 7. u, who had been elected second vice
president, and Mr.. Frank L. Stickney, who
had been elected corresponding secretary,
were not present, and sent declarations. In
their absence the league voted to defer ac-
ton with reference to these officers until
another meeting.
Francis M. Bradley, general secretary OF
the Sons Of Temperance, acted as INSTALL
ing officer and delivered an eloquent adj
dress on the hopefulness of the work OF
the league and the broader work Of the at
filiated bodies. especially as the latter
reach the children Of the community, for
whose training 'to love God and to hate
liquor he made an earnest plea.

and action upon the recommendations OF
the executive committee. One Of these
recommendations, favoring a change Of the
place of meeting, was adopted by the
league, and, in accordance with another
recommendation, the necessary steps were
taken to submit an amendment to the con-
stitution Of the league transferring the pro-
vision as to regular meetings to the bylaws.

were conducted by Vice President Garfield,

an address of appreciation to President

self, which had given churchmen such an
opportunity to do practical work in pro-

Woodruff May Leave Pennsy.

George Woodruff, the foot ball coach, who
has had charge of the University Of Penn
sylvania foot ball teams for several years,
may sever his connection with the univer
sity. A meeting Of the Athletic Association
was held in Philadelphia this afternoon, and
1t is practically certain that the question
was decided one way or the other. The
cause of the trouble is the foot ball failures
of the last three seasons. Prominent grad
yates of Pennsylvania are strongly opposed
to Woodruff's system of stalking everything
on the guards back. Attempts have been
made to introduce another system, with the
assistance OF graduate coaches. Woodruff
has always opposed assistant coaches, but
the failure of the last three seasons has
been such that pressure is to be brought
upon Woodruff to compel change. There
is strong sentiment to let Woodruff go
and get back Mike" Murphy.

SAYS SHE DRANK POISON.
Mrs. Hughes Found in Park in Help
less Condition.

A woman who gave her name as Kath-
arine Hughes, and her address as 721 O
street southeast, is patient at the Emer-
gency Hospital, having been found in La
fayette Park late yesterday afternoon.
where she had apparently fallen in 4
faint. Her statement was that she had
swallowed dose of laudanum, and she ex-
hibited an empty bottle from which she
stated she had taken the drug.
After she had been relieved of the poison
and was apparently on the, road to re-
covery, she caused so much trouble and
annoyance that she was transferred to the
first precinct station. Last night she be-
came sick again and was returned to the
hospital.
Mrs. Hughes, it is stated, is a widow. She
gave no reason for taking the poison.

Properly cured feathers have no
odor When there is a close odor to a
feather pillow it tells unerringly one
story, The feathers have not been
properly cured and have been spoiled
in the curing There is no remedy for
such feathers The small amount of
animal matter located in the quill Of
the feather, instead Of being destroyed
in the curing, has been allowed to be-
come decayed; and like any decayed
animal matter, it leaves a lasting faint
behind. The best feathers may By ac-
cident acquire that faint by curing.
The best goose feathers have so small
a quill that they are not as liable to
trouble as hens feathers, that have
heavy quill 1t always pays to buy
the best goose feathers because they
are much lighter, bulk for bulk, than
cheap feathers. and the highest cost
very little mare than the heaviest,
though the price by the pound is con-
siderably more. 1t is generally the
cheap feathers with coarse quilts that
are odorous. The odor will last as long
as the feathers.-New York Tribune.

Nowadays dressing tables of mahog-
any, rosewood, white enamel. etc, are
preferred above all, and rightly, too.
without doubt, but the coquettish
draped dressing table is the fayorite
of many women who like frills and
daintiness. The old spot" muslin or
the pattern of tiny dots no bigger than
seed pearls is quaint and pretty. The
neatest way is to stitch the valance on
piece Of tape AMI tie it at intervals
along the edge, the piece for the table
coming to the edge and being finished
of with a frill or muslin or lace. Then
we may yield ourselves to further Law
ishness, and very dressy way is to
tack on the eolored linen or batiste
first then placing over that the plain,
lightly gathered muslin, to take a sec
ond piece and cut it in deep Vandykes,
edging these with wide valenciennes
lace and tying 1t securely along the
edge of the tables. The upper tlounce
should reach to within a foot of the
ground, and may be caught up by bows
of ribbon TO match the color of the lin
ing. The fiounce of lace on the table
piece should be fairly wide, and nov
el way is to add a smart flounce of
narrow lace; but very often the top is
of looking glass framed in
with fuliing of lace and
rejecting prettily the toilet
pisces OF ivory and silver Pincush
ions should be of the daintiest descrip-
ton. 1t is a capital plan to have one
for black pins, another for white and
a third for iewelry and hatpins. Hat
pins mean destruction to a pretty pin
cushion. Old deeanter stands of silver
or Sheffield plate fitted with the pin
cushions are most appropriate to a
dressing table, whereof the aces
series are all silver Montreal
