has three fine girls who, in all the arduous
duties Mrs. Birney has performed, have
never lacked for a mothers care. All her
life she has been. in one sense of the word,
a reformer along the lines of philanthropy
and carrying sunshine into desert places.
Mrs. Birney's Idea.
Mrs Brney conceived the idea that bet
ter mothers could be made of the thousands
of young women who year after year take
upon themselves the vows of wedlOck, but
who are as little fitted to face its duties
and cares as are the babes that come to
their often unwilling arms. There were
clubs for everything on earth from the So
cety for the scrub lady and the cook to
that for the lady's maid and the lady her
self; for mental culture, from the kinder
garten and night school in the sumS to
the colleges and universities for the daugh-
ters of wealth. but there was nowhere for
the struggling young mother to turn for
advice and counsel when deprived. as she
often was, by distance or death of the aid
and assistance of her mother. There were
few books printed for her and those avail
able were simply medical works written in
cold matter-Of-fact manner and almost re-
pu!sive in tone.
Through long Illness when she lay with
her baby her arm Mrs Birney thought
this all over, and from her own love-shel-
tered life her heart went out toward the
mothers whose ignorance of natural laws,
and not always the mothers of the sums,
either. added pages to the criminal history
of the country. and filled the world with
incompetent children, mentally and physi-
cally.
Orphan asylums are excellent institu-
tions. reform schools fill certain need
and jails are necessity she said but if
we had educated mothers. or perhaps I
should say, women educated to make COM
petent capable Mothers the orphan asy-
lums. reform schools and jails would want

CHARGES AGAINST ARMY ANSWERED.
Referring to the charges made against the
army, Mr.. Foraker said: Not only has the
policy of the government been assailed, but the
army has been denounced. man has been
attacked who has just graduated from the
school of savagery,' China. That, as under
stand 1t, assault upon Cha1ee. ihese
assaults also were made on General Ben anu
General Smith and on the entire army. Ihe
assault extends" said he, from the command
ing general to the humbest private soldier"
He reviewed in vivid language the outrages
committed by the FiIipinos on the American
troops-outrages which included burning at the
stake. cutting to pieces with bolos, gouging out
of the eyes and disembowelling American prls-
oners. go
Referring to the order of General Smith, he
said: "I don't believe that he made such an
order as he is reported to have issued or, IL ne
did there is light to be shed upon 1t Whlch
we have not had" Our army. he said, has
shown a humanity under provocatlon never sur
passed by any other army in the history of the
world Prisoners had been kept only long
enough to receive good meal and a good lect-
ure Notwithstanding this humanity our men
had been put to the necessity of resortlng to
the law of retaliation. The army needs no
defence" Mr.. Foraker declared. Its record from
the beginning until now is a glorious one. IL
will come home in triumph to receive the glad
welcome and the plaudits of the American peo-
they always will when it is made OF such
splendid men, such gallant officers, such heroes

S4CHEHS FAIL TO AGREE.
OPPOSITION TO FEITNER's CONTINUANCE
AS GRAND SACHEM DEVELOPS


For some unexplained reason. the sachems of
the Tammany Society could not agree grand
sachem at their meeting in Tammany Han last
night and adjourned for week to allow time for
discussion. 1t was generally supposed that the
sachems had agreed upon Thomas l.. Tctner for
the office and II is believed that his name was
presented 1t met with unexpected opposition,
however. and after a session lasting more than
hour the sachems adjourned without taking any
action. When they emerged from the meeting room
amount of questioning could induce any Of them
TO divuIge "A word that said the session.
There was much speculation as to what had hap
pened. and the consensus of opinion that the
rame of some other formidable candidate pre-
sented to the great establishment of Mr.. Teitners
supporters, who supposed that his name would go
through without opposition. Mr. Nixon gave
sign as o whether he disappointed or pleased
at the situation. Although urged by the sachems
to honor them with his presence during their de
liberatons he declined to enter the room. on the
ground that he not a sachem and had no right
