 4 Knoxville special says:
 towing to her needy condition, Con- gress will be asked to pass special pen- pion act for the benefit of Mrs. Nancy 4 Jones. one of the four Revolutionary War widows of soldiers. Congressman Walter F. Brownlow. Representative Of the Ffrst Congressional District of Tennes- see, has interested himself in the condi- ton of the noted old woman and will lend his efforts to aid her. Though there are only four pensioners of the Revolutionary period none of them receives from the Government more than SIP a month, and 1Gr. Brownlow will frame his bill 50 that the pension paid these old women will be Increased to $25 month.
 ssThe matter was called to the atten- ton of MT. Brownlow by Mrs. Jones her self. She lives three miles east of Jones' b6ro. Tenn, the home of MT. Brownlow, and a few weeks ago when he was at home for the holiday season. Mrs. Jones called upon him and stated her case. She said that she was of the opinion that as there were only four pensioners of the Independence War in the United States. and that Uncle Sam should do more for them. It did not take much argument to convince MT. Brownlow that such was the case. and he promised Mrs. Jones that he would do all in his power to al- leyiate her condition"

 "A Chicago medical school has decided Co close it's doors to girls. The Chicago Tribune says:
 tThe abolition of the women's Medical School of Northwestern University, which z has been under consideration for two years, finally has been decided upon by the trustees of the university. The school was founded thirty years ago by Dr. W. H. Byford and was consolidated with Northwestern University in 1891. For several years the cost of the school has been increasing until now the. university is compelled to appropriate $25. 900 a year to cover the difference between the schools receipts and disbursements.
 The reason for closing the school said James Raymond of the Board of Trustees. is that it is almost impossible to make a good. all around family physi- elan and surgeon of a woman. I never knew one.'
 .aThere are now seventy students in the women's Medical School among them Princess Bamba DhuIeep Singh. who will probably go to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the State University.

  as though the chapter, which has been one of the most influential in the South, will go to pieces.
 The matter just leaked out late to- night. The resignations really grow out of trouble that occurred in the chapter two years ago when Mrs. William N. Graham, one of the members, attacked the methods of the chapter and made E charges that aroused intense feeling. Counsel was engaged and suits in court were threatened but safety committee finally smoothed the matter over.

Heretofore the women's clubs have all been devoted to some special ob- ject. and however they may strive to Tighten up the situation with occasional teas and annual banquet, the object" has always loomed dark and threatening upon their horizons. But this woman's club. says a New York dispatch to The St. Louis Republic, has neither the eleva- ton of its sister woman nor the con- fusion of its brother man as its end and aim. There will be no papers. no meet ings. no copventions. There is not one reform among it's purposes.

There are charming bedrooms and dressing rooms, a reception room, tea room, luxu- rious Turkish and Russian baths and the usual accessories of a well-appoint- ed clubhouse. On the third floor are a number of charmingly furnished bed rooms, for the use of which a charge will be made.
