Women physicians are interested in the organi-

ton, which shall bring into touch with the other
women physicians Of the union those women who
are debarred either by State laws or by the State
associations of medical men from joining the or
ganiza tons OF men practitioners. This happens to
be the case in Louisiana, where the State Medical
Society does not admit women to membership
thus debarring them from membership in the
National Medical Association. In Iowa, where
women were similarly placed in relation TO the
national association, they have formed State
medical association. Nearly every big city has
an organization for the mutual aid and advance

In the winter white with snow;

The scaling paint. and spider weaNes

Some old chauffeur to his place returned

And sometimes little children climb
Up into the rickety thing,
And make believe that they speed away
As they laugh and shout and sing;
And then | dream Of a day gone by,
And the old wheels catch the thrll

TWO THOUSAND men STRIKE
Chicago Railway Company Face to
Face With Serious Trouble.
To-day Unless Their Demands
Are Complied with.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-The City Railway
Co., whose lines are the principal sur
face means which south side residents
have for transportation, is face to face
with a serious strike. Nearly 1000
employees have voted to go out to-day
II their demands are not complied with,
and the CO. pany refuses to- conCede
anything to its men. Less than 500
men voted mo on the strike prop
osition.
One reason for the confident attitude
of the company is the fact that IL has
foreseen this strike and is prepared for
it. It has already over 1000 men,
which il has been bringing in from
Cincinnati, New orleans and St Louis.
These men have been here all the way
from two months to two days.
But quite as important as the pres
ence of these men is the engagement
by the company Of Boss Farley. the
king of the striie-breakers. Farley is
the only man who has successfully
broken up strikes in this country. He
is the man who got the cars out and
kept them running in St Louis, and he
has a record Of breaking nearly twenty
strikes in the past two years. He is
already on the ground. and has con-
feired with the company. He is to
have complete charge, superseding the
officers of the company, just as a pilot
does the captain of ship, He has
looked the new men over and chosen
some assistants from among them, but
ne brings five men with him who are
scarcely less expert than he, and he
expresses confidence in being able to
pivent any cessation of the running Of
the cars. The large number of men
on strike in this city makes it prob
able that when the street car men go
out there will be scenes of violence.
