PERSONAL AND CRITICAL.

HUNTSVILLE, ALA, Nov. 2C.-The
political friends of General Joseph Wheel
CT in this part of Alabama have an
nourced boom in his behalf, and will
use their influence to have him elected
to the United States Senate in 1902 to sue
coed Senator Edmund. w. Pettus.
Senator Pettus ana Senator Morgan
both reside in Selma, and that is the
reason why many Democrats over the
State oppose the reelection OF the Tor
mer Senator General Wheeler would
have the solid support OF his old Congress

Of the black belt. He has not yet been
consulted in this matter.

Admiral Schley, having heard that it will

mind to start a popular subscription to
reimburse him. A Tennessee editor went
so far as to telegraph the Admiral ask
ing him If he would consent to such a
scheme, but Schley replied that the mat
ter was too delicate to discuss and trusted
that his friends would appreciate his po-
sition and respect it.
This shows that Schley is not only

The new public library at Fremont
will be formally opened next Monday.
1t is interesting to again note that this
library is to be placed to the credit Of
the woman's club Of the town. The first
forma! steps toward arousing public in
terest were taken by that organization,
and the club has great satisfaction in the
result.
The library is pronounced to be very
we'll selected one. There are about 3D.
600 volumes at the disposal of the public
These have been carefully catalogued
and there is little doubt that they will
serve most useful purpose. The selec.
tions OF books have been made with a
view to bringing the best literature with.
in the reach OF those in whose homes
books are strangers. Standard authors
have been literally drawn upon. 1t has
not been taken for granted that Shaks-
pere and Scott and Dickens and Bulwer
were in all the homes OF the town. Fic-
tion predominates more largely than the
rule provides. Modern authors are well
represented, for those who may have
moderate private libraries, though neces-
sariIy much smaller than this modest
public collection. Reference works OF
the best to be had have been provided
with comparative liDerality. Fremont
may we'll have pride in joining, though
at late day, the general movement in
the small cities and towns for this ap-
proved method of securing a broader
public duca:ion-thanks to the wom-
ans club.

Followed Instructions.

At Gloucester some time ago a man
was sentenced to one months hare labor
for stealing bottle OF medicine that he
had been asked to deliver by the doctor
in the village in which he lived. Some
months after he was brought up on a
similar charge and when in the dock he
was asked what he had 10 say in his de-
fence.
"Wsll, your honor" he replied, II
was asked by the doctor to call again

TO find this woman's ''sacred fount."
He fails ingloriOusly; but the trouble
he takes to fail and the pages he
takes to do it in would try the patience
of chess player.
As someone has said, it looks very
much as though Mr.. James were paro.
diving himself. There are several
hundred pages Of the most vague and
Elusive conversation about the prob
able personality Of the person from
whom the woman invigOrates her own
personality after she has depleted it
to feed the personality of a man in
whom the reader is not in the least
interested. The proposition sounds
like a mixture of ''Alice liz Wonder
land" and an algebraic formula.
What does Mr.. James expect to gain
by thus putting tea table surmises
and houseparty gossip on the plane of
serious art and adding the brains of
well meaning people with it? Truly,

plyiGg to a request for the best daily
swer is: Plenty OF exercise. a plunge in
cold water, salt glow, and dependence
upon self Instead Of upon stimulants. l
am glad to write this advice with my own
pen, just once, for members of the press
have been writing it for me for many
months. The press. indeed, has been
most curious as to the things we do in
our club, and most persistent in printing
the things we do not do. All this, how
ever, has been in a spirit of Kindness, for
which We are grateful. So often has the
word unique been applied to our organ
ization that we think the Librarian OF
Congress ought to grant US the copyright
OF that word."
The bylaws for the maintenance OF
harmony among the members may be Of
interest to members OF other clubs.
Says Mrs. Lyon: ''No women is eligible
to membership in our corporation unless
she is either creditor Of the corporation
or a surety or guarantor upon some OF its
obligations. Women who are not mem
bers OF the corporation may be admitted
to the privileges OF the club under the
name Of associate members. A good plan
for placing club on sound financial

The State Convention.

j uC StdtC SOuNChtiOhe
At the republican state convention
held in this city on Wednesday the
usual party contest was exhibited in the
selection Of state ticket.
To those initiated in the work Of state
conventions the contest presented un-
usual features.
The strategy Of politics was we'll ex-
emplified in the process of eliminating
the weaker and less available candidates
and in the final massing Of support on
the ones best embodying party senti.
ment. The final nomination Of Judge
Sedgwick OF York for justice Of the su-
preme court was peculiarly satisfactory
to both factions, and was the logical re-
suit of the conflicting ambitions OF the
rival aspirants. The endorsement OF
Mr.. Goold for a second term as regent
of the university was recognition OF
his efficient services. The nomination
Of Mr.. Ernst was based upon his fitness
for the position and upon the fact that
he is resident of Lincoln, which is re-
garded de- the centre of university in
terest.
The political phase of the contest soon
broadened into moral question inVolv-
ing the propriety of paroling default
ing public official on the promise OF
restitution Of embezzled funds. Through
the clamor and confusion Of the conven-
tion one truth was persistently mani
tested: the judgment Of the macs OF Ne
braska citizens-who are typical OF hu-
manity at large-may be relied upon as
an expression of inherent justice.
Personal influence and sentiment,
which are potent factors when applied
to individuals and to the ragged edges
OF party or convention, are powerless
when applied to the body en- masse.
The eternal principles of right and
wrong must ever find their vindication
or condemnation at the hands OF the ma
iority. Logic and sequence are also
given full weight in the decision OF an
important question by body OF thir-
teen hundred men.
The position of Governor Savage on
Wednesday was pitiable when he tried
to explain and justify to the convention
his action in granting the BARLEY pa
role. The delegates were members OF
his own party, and we're in no manner
hostile to him. Eloquent supporters OF
his action supplemented his words with
arguments which they thought invinci-
BILE. Yet in the face of party loyalty
came this unalterable decision from the
representatives of the republican masses:
Governor Savage's action was not based
on the principles Of justice and wisdom,
and therefore must be condemned. Not
IN anger, but in sorrow, was the chas-
tisement administered by the party to
its chief official And in sorrow and not
IN anger was the chastisement received.
The Platonic theory of sacrificing the
Individual to the state was here forcibly
Illustrated.

Undoubtedly the finest woman's club
house in the country is that OF the
Twentieth Century Club OF Buffalo.
which keeps open house during the Pan.
American Exposition for the eternal
feminine" wayfarer. This imposing
structure cost precisely sl5O,OOO. This
sum is considerably 10 excess OF that ex-
pended on any other woman's clubhouse
on this side Of the water, at least. though
Boston club women have in process OF
erection on Beacon Hill an edifice which,
it is said is to cost s200,OO0.
The Twentieth Century Club Of Buff
falo was begun in 1895 and completed
the following year, notwithstanding the
unsettled financial condition the country
over. When the last brick was in place
these Buffalo club women declared
proudly they had "the largest, handsom-
est, and most complete clubhouse in the
country" and no one had the courage or
the clubhouse to dispute the broad as
sertion, says the Chicago Rscord.Herald
The clubhouse is three stories high.
There is stone foundation with the re-
mainder OF brick. 1t is located on one
of the principal streets ir the city with
the latchstring ever hanging out allur-
ingly. BY Far the most attractive room
is the court, as it is called, situated on
the second floor and reached by broad
marble staircases. The mural decora-
tions are markedly artistic, while the
supporting columns at the side give an
added elegance. On the same floor are
the coffee-room, the magazine room, the
music.room and the library. On the first
floor are the office, committee rooms,
whist rooms and dressing rooms.
1t is the third floor Of the clubhouse
that is a constant source OF income.
Here is large assembly room, which is
rented for concerts, lectures and dances.
The stage is equipped with scenery so
that it may be utilized for private theat-
ricals. There are also number OF stu
dios, which are rented to artists.
Another feature unusual in the femi-
nine clubhouse-in America, at least
are the two sleeping apartments, which
members, especially out town mem
bers, may use over night. In London.
on the other hand, the average woman's
club, being largely social, is apt to have
numerous apartments. The London
womau's club is immensely more elegant.
il may be mentioned in this connection,
the Empress Club in Piccadilly, for In
stance, costing the sum OF $3.50, 600.
This Twentieth Century Club in Buf-
falo, however, is all the more praisewor-
thy from our American standpoint when
it is understood the membership is COM
paratively small-only about 300. The
president is Mrs. John Glenny, who, be-
ing an artist, has executed come OF the
decorations in the music room. Indeed,
this woman has been mostly instrument
tai in developing the art idea in the club,
a weekly exhibition by local artists being
a splendid feature during the season, the
picture hanging in the gallery for several
days after.
II is in such an all-around, alluring
clubhouse that hundreds Of club women,
who may attend the congresses at the
Pan-American Exposition, will be invited
to bave cup of tea during the summer
months.
