WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY

A matter that has been smoldering for
the last year was at last brought before
the members OF the woman's club, at yes
terday afternoons meeting after a heated
discussion in the directory, and while time
did not admit Of an adjustment Of II, there
was sufficient discussion to show that It is
no Indifferent matter to those who have
to do with the management Of things. II
was the complimentary or free membership
list; a privilege that has existed during
the last year. but Of which the majority OF
members heard for the first time yester-
day afternoon. The subject was intro
duced by the president, Mrs. Cole, who
asked Mrs. Tilden to explain II, which she
did, stating that the privilege had orig
mated with the directory last year after
the adjournment of the club, and while
Mrs. w. w. Keysor was still president.
Its object is to show recognition Of several
organizations OF the city whose heads are
not members and whose duties do not adj
NIT Of their regular attendance at meet
ings. She mentioned the Young Women's
Christian association, the City Mission as
ISOLATION and Child Saving Institute. Mrs.
Byers, secretary Of the FIRST named. and
Miss Magee, city missionaries being two
who have enjoyed the privileges this year.

have to have three signers. the names be-
ing presented TO the membership committee
Just as others are. e.
At the close Of this explanation, Mrs.
Rosewater, chairman of the membership
committee, said that there was more to be
said Of this privilege. explaining that there
had been for several years a fund Of which
few knew, which is used to pay the mem
bership Of deserving women who are I'M
able to pay their own and that this com
plimentary list has been created to extend
the original privilege. She explained this
privilege had bUen m~onopolized by a few
women and disagreed with the first speaker
that the club owed anything to the or
ganizations mentioned any more, II as much
as to the school teachers, or the newspaper
women who are benefttng the club. She
concluded by recommending that the COM
plimentary list be abandoned or that It's
privileges be passed around and hat but
one member be proposed at a tina ~ any
one.

DR.. David Starr Jordan, president OF
Stanford university, having been asked his
opinion of women smoking, replied as FOL
lows:
Dear Madam: 1 should say in regard to
the smoking OF women that those women
fly Of It would hardly be reached by argu-
ment.
There is no question as to the injury
to the nervous system produced by smok-
ing. and this injury Is. Of course, greatest
on persons of fine organizations, but out
side of that the fact that a woman is
tempted TO smoke Is evidence enough OF
her essential coarseness Of nature, ana
those Of us who admire fine and noble
women are simply satisfied to pass her
by on the other side.
The average man, even though a smoker
he expresses 1t or not. Surely nothing Is
more repulsive to the majority of men
than the breath of a woman tainted with
nicotine or alcohol. Very truly yours,
DAVID s. JORDAN.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-04-28

To bring the matter before the house Mrs.
Andrews offered a motion to continue the
complimentary list, but to %confne it to
women who will be of benefit to the club,
and who possess literary or other tastes
hi may be benefited by the privileges.
General approval was evident. but before
any further discussion could follow, a mo-
ton was made to postpone the matter for
two weeks and as the time was short and
there were guests to be heard from, the
matter was laid over for two weeks.
The introduction of Mrs. Clemmons, pres
ident of the Fremont club, followed, she
extending a cordial invitation to all to
attend the state meeting to be held in
Fremont in October. Mrs. Walter 1. Smith,
president of the Council Bluffs woman's
club, also spoke briefly. Mrs. Roberts, Sec
/ rotary Of the Fremont club was the other
guest.
The election Of delegates to the State
Federation meeting resulted as follows:
Delegates-Mrs. Charles Rosewater, Mrs.

matter will be settled by City Attorney

Philip wilde Found Dead.

Philip Wilde was found dead yesterday
by ~neighbors at his room, 256 South Eigh-
teenth street. The deceased was about IS
years Of age and had resided in South
Omaha for some time. AS he lived alone
no cause for his death is given. Possibly
the coroner will investigate. AS there is
no suspicion Of foul play, Wilde having NO
money to speak of, the county may not be
put to the expense of holding an inquest.
The deceased has relatives in Europe, but
none in this country. Unless there is money
10 pay the expenses of q funeral, the re-
mains will be inferred at the expense Of
the county.

A COFFEE DRUNK


Some people go on using coffee for a
great many years without showing
much effect of the drug, but as rule
it is slowly doing its i'll work, and the
time will come when stomach or nerve
disease of some kind will show itself.
An interesting case is that of a man
who drank coffee for great many
years before he felt the effect of it. He
says further: Finally my health be-
gan to give way. and first noticed be-
ing dizzy headed and began to have

AUGUSTA DRUMMERS
ARE WITH SAVANNAH.
Will Request the Atlanta Post to At
tend the Conventions.

Will Request the Atlanta Post to At
tend the Convention.
Augusta, March Post E, of the T.
P. A, at its meeting tonight, dis
cussed the request from Post A, Sa-
vannah, that the Augusta post would
demonstrate with Post B of Atlanta
about the latter's threat to withdraw
from the association and not attend
the state convention at Savannah.
While the Augusta drummers are
ready to cooperate with Savannah in
any way for the success for the con-
vention, they are strongly opposed to
begging the Atlanta post to do what
il ought to do of it's own accord. They
say the Atlanta post is acting like a
spoiled child. threatening to take its
doll rags and go home and do not
feel like humoring any such act by
begging it to stay and play, even to
please Savannah.
1t was finally agreed. however, that
the secretary of the post might write
the Atlanta post a letter in accordance
with Savannah's request, making the
formal request that Post attend the
convention. The opinion seemed to be
that the Atlanta post is only temper
arily sulking, and that when its better
judgment asserts itself. it will be in
line at Savannah.

A cold is the beginning of catarrh. Il

talking about this with me the other
day, said:
while I have no idea of criticising
anybody, il must be evident to all
Democrats that more thorough and
complete organization is necessary to
the proper presentation of party is
sues. The only way in which the
minority has the opportunity to make
clear its position upon the great issues
of the day is by the attitude of its
representatives in both branches of
Congress. 1 have long believed that
there should be a better understanding
between Democratic senators and
Democratic representatives with re-
gard to measures before Congress. We
have, in several notable instances, seen
the Democrats Of the Senate take an
entirely different position upon some
measure than that taken by the Dem
ocrats of the House. The Philippine
tariff bill might be cited as a recent
illustration of this. The Democrats of
the House advocated one measure
when that bill was before that body
and the Democrats of the Senate took
an entirely contrary position when
they came to act upon it,
1T seems to me that the necessity
for a complete understanding between
the Democrats of the Senate and the
parent in view of such illustrations as
this I have cited. 1 have talked this
matter over with individual Demo-
Gratis of both houses a number of
times, and as individuals they always
agree with me. but enough has been
done. ! have no particular plan of or
ganization in line, but 1 am confident
that the interest of the party would
be greatly benefited by consultation
between all the leaders of the Senate
and leaders of the House and believe
that this will be brought about. By
such a consultation and agreement the
minority will present a united front
and will be in position to best serve
the interests of the party"
Senator Gorman, more than any 9TH
er one man, is looked to as the proper
one to bring about such harmony of
action. In the work he does on this
line he will undoubtedly have the
hearty cooperation of Mr.. Williams,
Judge Griggs and the other Demo-
cratic leaders in the House. The pres
ent indications are therefore that the
assembling of the new Congress of
regular session this fall will be made
particularly noticeable by Democratic
unity and that aggressive action which
is excepted by the members of the
party.

narrow Escape From Fire.

Triton, Ga, March 1.-Two of Tiff
tons handsome blocks were in great
danger this morning, and much excite
ment prevailed among our citizens for
awhile, caused by fire starting in the
storage house of S. G. Slack & Co.,
south of their three-story building. A
clerk had gone into the house for the
purpose of drawing gasoline, when he
stepped on a match, which caught, and
started the fire, which rapidly spread
over the building. The boys arm was
badly burned. In the warehouse was
hardware, sash, doors and blinds, and
100 pounds of dynamite. When it was
reported that dynamite was there, peo-
pie were backward about going to the
fire, though plenty ventured to do some
timely work, and probably save the
city from the loss of two of the incest
blocks. The fire was soon under con-
troll, and the damage to the property
will not exceed $500, which is fully COW
cred with insurance.

Per Cent.-News From Macon.
Macon, March T.--Ex-State Senator
M. t. Hodge of Pulaskis county. was
summoned to Macon to-day to show
why he was not in contempt of the
United States Court for obstructing
legal process. His reply to the allega-
tons against him was made in a bill.
1t was so warm that Judge Speer or
dered several sentences stricken, say
ing a legal paper need not be SO pep
perry.
The case is a branch of the Rogers
& Joiner bankruptcy matter. Hodge
held a mortgage deed to some proper
~, which the trustee in bankruptcy
was ordered to sell. Hodge put the
public on notice that whoever bought
the land would buy a lawsuit. as he
would undertake to assert what he be-
heved to be his rights. This caused
the rule to be- issued against him.
1t was thought he would come into
court and show his deed. and this
would end 1t. But instead, he came in
making such salty allegations against
the trustee of the court that the ia
pies nave been turned. and the court
to-day instructed the trustee to take
time and prepare to meet Hodges bill,
which charged that the trustee had
maligned him and had sought to IA
