jects of the federation. She said:
Their immediate function is to bring
together women, otherwise widely sep
arated and to discuss together matters
of vital interest to them and to the
world. To get together. is essential in
all our undertakings; to talk is prelimi-
nary-necessarily SOTO all collective ac-
tion. What the talk results in depends
entirely upon the soil In which the seed
is sown-sometimes with large growth,
just as often with Indifferent stagnation.
"One point Of special interest is the
gradual development of the civic con-
science, the social consciousness. in
women. In world whose pressing
problems are SO pre-eminently social,
where the worst evils are plainly due to
a lack of public spirit, nothing is more
needed than such movements as this"
At the close Of ber address Mrs. Moore
summed up the results accomplished by
the federation as follows:

NEW YORK, Nov. S-One of the most
wonderful inventions of the Twentieth
century has just been perfected, and is
now going into the service of the news
papers OF this and other countries. II IL
the elect0graph. a machine for trans
mitting pictures by wire, invented by
Thomas Mills and H. r. Palmer, two
young men of Cleveland, and perfected
for newspaper half-tone work by Arthur
Leslie president of the Leslie newspaper
syndicate of New York. 1t is due en-
tirely to the tireless energy Of these
gentlemen that the practicability Of
flashing q, halftone reproduction Of
photograph instantaneously over the
wire to any distance has been realized.
The greatest marvel of this wonderful
invention il its remarkable simplicity.
A little common, everyday pin Is the
instrument which makes it possible to
send faithful reproduction Of the fea-
tures Of a person, or the exact details Of
. scene. throbbing over the wire from
one distant point to another.
Attached by q comparatively simple
device to one end of a telegraph wire.
the pin. with tiny flashes of electricity

tures Of a man from an ordinary half
tone plate and the current carries the
record faithfully through space and re-
peats them at the other end of the wire

may transmit photograph from
rogues' gallery to hold criminal in
distant city.
The instrument is, In fact thoroughly
utilitarian, and will add immensely to
the value Of all important descriptive
matter sent by wire.
Many inventors, including the leading
electricians Of this country. have strug-
gled with this important problem, and
it has been the aim of more than one
metropolitan newspaper to perfect such
an instrument as the electrograph in its
present condition has become.
The gentlemen prominently identified
with the electrograph are Mr.. F. B.
Squire, vice-president of the Standard
Oil company, who is president Of the
Electrograph company; w. II. K. Rose.
who is its vice-president and secretary;
c. M. Palmer, the well-known newspa-
per publisher and broker; I. w. Durfee,
of Clark & Durfee. attorneys, Detroit.
and Frederick Osborne. banker and
broker. Of Detroit.
From a complicated and impracticable
embryo the present machine has been
evolved step by step, and several years
have been consumed in developing the
present perfect apparatus from the
crude idea Of the electrograph originally
presented

including the transmission of pictures
over the eight hundred mile circuit, and
their reduction for reproduction pur-
poses, have been watched by publishers
and others. representing the most i'm
portant publications in New York and
elsewhere. The verdict given by these
men Of the positive success achieved Is
sufficient to satisfy the most incredulous
that this wonder has been finally ac-
complished, and II now remains only to
install the system in a more general way
30 that the electrograph will pass into
every day use as one Of the ordinary
conveniences Of civilization.

dustrial lines this broad statement has
been made: Every public step taken In
the United States for the betterment of
the condition Of women and children

impress Of agitation by club women.
Every act of state or national legisla-

Better wages, less hours Of labor. i'm
