YSunx wonnen of Boise, 1dAAs, Have Organization and Choose
 Victamn by Lot.

Boise, Idaho has . fully organized suicide club. That it is ready for busi- asss and has already transacted con- siderable business is shown by the fact that at least three of its members have 'shufiled of" by the suicide route with Tn a period of as many months.
 The fact of the existence of the organ laation became known to the police in an ip vestigation into the death of Grace Ashton, its latest victim. She died from morphine poisoning on . third attempt at suicide, both of her previous attempts having been frustrated through season. able discovery by friends.
 Another young woman friend of Misa Ashton attempted suicide by taking poi son, but recovered, and 1t was through hsr that tho sxistsnce of the club was made known. The club is regularly or yanfzed with . strong membsrship-all young women-and holds meetings at regular intervals. It transpires that at each meeting new victim is chosen by lot, who is to "pass of" before the time tor the next meeting by one of the usual methods adopted in such cases. the par |. ticular mode being optional with the can- didate. 4-fs1 4...h-.

 PROMISES TREATS,

The Cause Chapter U. D. G., has been successful in bringing to Newport course of high class attractions, the first number of which will be the Royal Hun garian Court Orchestra, whose repertoire consists of compo- sitions of such masters as Ross ini, Wagner, Apt, and others no less renowned. t
 That the people of our commu- |nity have presented to them the opportunity of hearing such mu- sic, much credit is due the work of the local chapter and their in- terest in introducing such talent to Newport music-lovers, should prove not only a financial suc- cess to the chapter, but a benefit to the patrons as well.

THE woxANLY WOMAN.
Chief ElenentA - Ser EducatfoA.

The big American banquet hall of the Manhattan hotel was crowded with members of. the Emma Willard association and their friends on the occasion of the thirteenth annual ban quet of the organization. Among the speakers were Chancellor MacCracken. Bishop Scarborough, of New Jersey, and Miss Spence, reports the New York Tribune, of recent date "Hun- dreds of young men and women" said MSS Spence, "who have received theiy college degrees are not really edu. cated. They. are thoroughly instruct cd, and perhaps amply equipped from . technical standpoint. But education means so much more than this. It means individual development. cul- ture, Character. In every walk in life. to accomplish our purpose, ws must know clearly at the start what we mean to do. If colleges and schools would really succeed in turning out educated men and women in the high. est sense of the word, they must drst define that term. 10 1t to stand tor nothing more than instruction in facts or other peoples ideas? Or is 1t to Include soul culture, life broadening and true development and efficiency To my mind mothers are largely re sponsible for a child's Especially daughter's) aim1ess life. The sole de- sire of, alas! 50 many, Is that their children shall have g good time while they're young. And this is right enough, but they should remember that the good time of the butterfly is not necessarily the good time of the girl, and that tho true good time and growth of character are not incompat- ible.
 "True womanliness should be ono of the chief clements of . young wom- ans education. The iunpardonable sins of womanhood are hardness and coarseness, dearth of gentleness and any guise of selflshness. A virtue that should be earnestly cultivated by tho woman of to-day is greater sheer. ity in the manners and customs of society. This is the contribution all true women should make to the so- ciety of their time. Society needs gen. tie women in the true sense of thas word. Only that education Is worth while which stands for service to the world-in some form, material or in- material, and the latter is often the more real of the two. In fact. the ideal, whatever 1t be, is the real- an oft said saying, but one as often forgotten in the details of daily life.
 "It is the privilege and no less the duty of every one who aspires to be called an educator to ever hold up this vision of the ideal, ever follow the xleam-live the great revelation in the details of daily life"

AN UNLUCKY DEAL.
Illustrating the Mistake of M"H Who Tries to Help Around
 the House.

When a married man gets out Of hls orbit, or off his half of the domestic .arpet, so to speak, the consequences are always more or less disastrous ta him, says the Detroit Free Press.
 "We've just moved" said an unhap- py-looking man in little neighbor- hood crowd of men who were buying their evening cigars at corner to- bacco shop. ''Or, rather, we are hat moved. Half our household truck has gone over to the new place, and bak is still with us. Then I sold a lot, ton and got myself in 1wful hot water. You know how 1t is when . man starts out in his own house to do thinas without asking hfs wife"
 "Oh. yes: we know" echoed all ths others.
 "In our stable 'attic," the man con, tinued, we had l lot of old stun stored. I've heard ny wife say . dozen times that We must look 1t over and sell good deal of 1t the ne1t time we moved To-day she was over to the other house, and as I was kind of stand Ing round, not knowing where to take hold next, along came a junk man through the alley. hailed him and .ooh him up in the stable attic; there I sold him an old table, an old high chair, battered old crib and . car pet He gave me six dollars for the lot l found a box of old battered brass trays, plaques and picture frames after he was gone, and peddled those of at nickel apiece to some neighborhood children who were tagging me around all day.
 "of course. a man never really knows what he has sold until his wife tells him; and tomorrow l'n to chase Ill day after that junk man. I've sold our best parlor carpet, taken up when sum- mer came in, my wife's own highly treasured infants high chair and . crib which was also her mothers, and . real mahogany table she had stored away to have done over. She herself had paid nine dollars for the old table and was glad to get 1t at that Old ts bles are getting scarce, she says"
 ''How about the brass objects?" some one asked.
 "Oh, I've got to go around and buy those back, too," the man replied, sad iy.. "They were high-art beaten brass nondescripts which my wife made her self at the age of 13, and she says her mother wouldn't part with them for nuythfng" '.+

Philippine Positions Not Wanted.

 Phlltppine Positions Not Wanted.
 Positions in the Philippines seem to 70 begging. Several months ago Col Edwards, chief of the insular bureau. called upon the civil service commis- sion to certify candidates for 150 teachers positions paying from $2.000 to $500 per annum. There were few applicants, fewer took the examina- tion. and only AZ were found eligible for appointment Another examine ton will, therefore, be held early in October. The insular bureau will not permit women to take the examina- ton for these positions. and tho du- ties or pay of psdagogus do not seem to appeal to the young men of the country. 4,-s v.-l

IDEAL m, HovsEKHHp1No.
0sny sf the ola Customs and Csns Aitiens Are Passing Entire
 ly Away. s~

A generation ago to be an ideal heusea Keeper was the chief ambition of alr. ose every woman. No girl desired . fxirss hts than to be placed Ut the head of . household with good and loving hus- band to supply all her wants and mako her the mistress and the queen of his heart and his homo. In most cases, says the Peoria Herald Transcript, the girl who started Housekeeping had more or Iess experience in the art under the tuition sf her mother. She loved to decorate and beautify the house which was to be her homo during the rest of her earthly pil- grimagA, She ,lovsd to create delicacisa for her husband and her children, and. 6isGuise 1t as ws may, much of the af- ssctiol she received was due entirely ts her skill as homemaker. When ,hss children grew up around neS this kiAl and sympathetic mother and the pantry were the chief attractions in their world. As they grew older the ties only grew ths stronger. When they acquired families = their 0wn th9 old homsstsad. witA its abundance Sf good things, stiil had attractions Tor them. The kind olA mother was still their best friend. She know all the dffnculties they had to en- counter in starting homes of thedr own. and her advice and sympathy were worth more to them than gold. The grandchildren came to venerate her as sort of venerable goddess, and when she finally went away from the homo circle she left . vacancy which could never be filled.
 But we are assured with every symp- tom of rejoicing that these conditions are passing; that women havs bes1 emancipated; that ir the future they are to be the rival, instead of the hslpmate. of man, and that they must combine ts enforce their just demands against the hostility of the male sex. This fs non. sense pure and simple. It may bs true that there are more mannish women in this generation than there were in tho last. It is unfortunately true that . larger proportion of the female popula- ton has been forced to be self-support ing, but 1t is not true that women enjoy tho so-called liberty" which goes witA toiling for a living.
 Tho home Instinct is too deeply planted in the heart of women to be re. moved by the effects of a generation o4 club work. It will never be removed. A few women may go after strange gods. but the natural, wholesome girl will still lind her highest ideal of happiness ia . good husband and . cozy homo, The clubs may succeed In making such homes impossible to few men and women by making tho young women feel that they have more important work in the world than the prosaic duty of home. making, but among the masses of the American people tho mother will con. ttnue to be the bond which unites the unities of that holy institution the fam. lily, and she VIII continue in this sxalts6 role until the end of all things.

AT THE COURT OF FAME.
Successful Entertainment Under Aus
pices of the Murray Club.

Samantha Alien Mt the Court OF
Fame was the name of the play given
by local talent in the auditorium last
evening under the auspices Of the
Murray club of the Uniyersalisl
church. There was a large attend
ance. Why Samantha should have
succeeded In getting her name into
the title was not evident, as there
We're many supposedly more import
ant personages there in answer to
proclamation from the goddess oil
fame asking all who thought they
We're entitled TO the position of queen
of fame to come forward and do their
stunts. The play was composed oil
these stunts and while many OF them
were exceedingly good there was too
much of a sameness about the piece
TO prevent its becoming tiresome to-
ward the end in spite of the good
work that was done by all who took
part. Needless to say the job OF
queen was awarded TO Columbia, who
strange so say. happened to be the
last applicant to arrive on the scene.
Space win not permit mention of
the work of all who took part Mrs
Mavsrette Fisher as Samantha was
exceedingly good, in fact she was al
most the life of the piece, her mono
Iogue on local affairs making the hit
of the evening Miss Marguerite
Tucker made a handsome goddess OF
fame although she had very little to
do but sit still most of the time.
Helen Keyes as Topsy Mrs. II. w.
as Bridget O'Flanigan and
John Stewart as Ike Partington, the
only man in the show" furnished the
comedy element acceptably. The
solos of Miss Laura Leitsinger and /
Miss Katherine O'Connor were es-
oecially well received, that of the lat /
er being enthusiastically encored. I
All the other participants did well I
md as much as they could to relieve 4
he monotony of the play.
