 Six new members were added to the active membership.
 Among the business discussed it was decided to have a year book printed and the members considered the feasibility of rent ing a club room in the near fu- ture.

representatives of the different forces who were pushing the claims of the several candidates watched the battle of ballots and some grew nervous over the looks of things. These lockers on agreed to quit the polls and enforce the Australian secret ballot system, some claiming it was unfair to even have an ink ling of what the other cast, so by common consent this rule was followed. Such was the precau- tion to get every vote counted, that the last ten minutes preced- ing Il o'clock, not a ballot was cast.
 The prizes, previously an nounced, will be sent out this afternoon and to each of the five sweet little masters and misses, who were not among the lucky three, will be given a plain solid gold baby ring. We can't guess

prettiest under two years of age and to put a quietus upon the many dispsting claimants, the editor was importuned to deter mine by popular suffrage through the columns of the Independent to whom this honor and distinct ion rightfully belonged. And thus came about in due course of time this celebrated baby race, launched November l, 1904.
 Little did the casual reader or promoter think the whole town would become interested in the clipping of the coupons and a general alignment of every sub- scriber for his or her favorite take place. No such pipe dream was ever smoked. But the con- test was hardly started when three bright boys, Ernest Theo- dore Phillips, William Wallace Dutton and James Edward Will mans, and two fair sisters in Misses Dorothy Stephens and Jeanette Henry were placed in nomination by admiring elders.
 On November 5 Charles Jones Brandenburg and Edwin John- son as dark horses entered the lists. Wallace Dutton was then holding the coveted lead, but was supplanted on November 5 by Ernest Theodore Phillips, who enjoyed the position of vantage for one day and was then retired by Charles Jones Brandenburg. His rights, too, were soon dis puted and James Edward Will mans climbed to the top Novem- Der II. This state of affairs continued for a season without incident worthy of mention ex- cept the entrance of an eighth candidate in the person of Miss Thelma Smart when Edwin John- son clipped his rivals wings No vember 28 and held undisputed sway upon the track for the long, est period of the race.
 As the home stretch grew near and the vote each day became heavier James Edward Wilmans tooka firm hold upon the bit and in a bound passed all his rivals, holding first with an easy lead. The vote of Friday, however, when two passed the 2,000 mile post and a bunch of others shaved the margins separating them from the leader, proved conclusively that the race was not yet won by any candidate and forecasted a most exciting finish, which was realized next day.

 The Independent is very sorry that the half-tones of the babies have not arrived, owing to the delays of express in the Christ mas rush, but they will be found in our Tuesdays issue, published on enameled book paper. These pictures would have made very attractive our Christmas issue, and it is a source of deepest re- gret that such an unfortunate delay has marred our announce ment of this afternoon.

With a popular vote of 6,654 little Miss Jeanette Henry passed under the wire in the baby race a winner. To her falls the distinction of the sweetest and fairest of Newport's babies under two," to her colors is the blue. ribbon tied and to her charms will the sweepstakes prize of the gold locket and chain add further grace.
 The finish was close. Little Miss Henry had a rival who re- quired her feetest time, for James Edward Wilmans was dis \ putting the disposition of honors, and not until the entire vote was counted did even the election officials know just what was what. Master James Edward boiled a total vote of 5,596, or just 1,058 behind Miss Henry. A handsome set of solid gold baby pins, the red ribbon prize on the boys side, is the award of his ! evidenced popularity.
 Miss Dorothy Stephens boiled \ the third highest vote of 1,314 and closed up several gaps be- tween herself and the lead, with hS total of 3,154. Many had picked her for winner and she was always kept near the front { by a host of friends.
 Master Edwin Johnson came in \ Anext, barely missing the 5000 \ lark. This sweet boy, for boys
 this age are sweet, was per
 Rps the favorite of all the other
 ntestants, were they to have
 (pn called upon to help any one
 their rivals.
 DIVWm. Wallace Dutton was paid N tribute to by many friends in the hdfth highest vote, and Master YErnest Theodore Phillips and lCharles Jones Brandenburg came next in rank with nice compli- mentary totals. Miss Thelma Smart, who also ran, is little Jacksonport maid and did ex- ceedingly well for an out-of-town candidate against home favorites. THE CLOSING DAY.
 Early on the last eventful morn the steady file of voters in A the baby contest began the de- posting of their final ballots. The first box was soon enjoying it's full capacity and before the appointed hour of II a. m. an- other had almost experienced the same fate.

WOMAN'S CLUB MEETING z


 WOMAN'S CLUB MEETINGs
 Notwithstanding the rain majority of the members of the Woman's club answered to roll call at the meeting held with Mrs. Geo. Sink yesterday after noon, and the program presented was of the usual interest and in- struction. Mesdames s. M. Beat tie and c. H. Wilmans read five minute papers on The Yellow l Van" and "The Lions of the Lord. {" Since there is an art in being able to condense matters in a complete and interesting manner these papers deserve to be called very excellent. A splen- didly written paper, Katherine of Arragon, by Miss Slaughter lof Conway, was read by the sec retary to fill the vacancy occur ring from Mrs. c. R. FIite's ab- sence. Mrs. W. A. Billingsley also being absent, ''The Ring and the Book, " a paper of high merit written by Mrs. w. E. Bevens of Helena, was read and proved rare treat. "Children's Litera- ture," by Mrs. R. T. Robertson, was very much enjoyed. A good number of the club members are mothers and an exchange of ideas on this subject is of much value.
 'The Most Enjoyable Book of the Year." by Mrs. L. E. Willis, was par excellence, and she con- vinced all that "Rebecca of Sum- nybrook Farm" is the most en- joyable book of the year. Mrs. R. M. Johnson read a sonnet, after which she gave some coup lets, thus proving herself to be right much of poetical genius. A discussion, sIs an Author Jus tified in Ending a Book Tragic ally ?'' concluded the program. Mrs T. B. Stewart, as leader of the discussion, possesses the happy faculty of being able to speak extemporaneously, and her argument that an author is justi- fled in ending a book as he pleases was thoroughly good. The next meeting will be with Mrs. T. B. Stewart on the 18th of January, 1905. REPORTER.

 Should the Cherokee strip be added to the confines of Arlxan- sas, 25, GOO to 50,000 new voters, the majority of whom are Repub- licans, would be added to our suffrage list.

Mr.. Charles Buckley Hubbell, one Of the most
distinguished educators of New York city. For

A STORY comes from Washington that the
day after Russia's declaration of war Countess
Marguerite Cassini, the Ambassadors daugh-
ter, gave her new embroidered Japanese crepe
gown to the embassy cook. Silly as this is,
still it is natural. 1t is elemental in man to at
tempt wreaking revenge upon inanimate OBJ
jects. Every one has noticed the SOCIOLOGY
or perhaps remembers in his own experience
how, when he "stumped' the toe of his bare
foot, would turn in rage to hammer the Offend
ing rock with another. The carpenter striking
his finger while driving nail filings his Ratchet
against a stone wall or girder to relieve his
feelings, having vague idea be has hurt the
offending hammer. The Countess Cassini was
acting like the boy or carpenter. She thought
she could snub Japan by showing supposed
indignity to crepe gown. Foolish, no doubt,
but very natural

LAST SUNDAY afternoon Hon. William Jen-
nings Bryan delivered an address in theatre
at New Haven, Conn.,, on 1.-The Prince of
Peace" He inveighed against the present
war between Japan and Russia and said he
hoped there would be a general demand to find
out the cause of it. Knowing the exact cause
the world would then be enabled to form
Judgment as to which side has justice in its
contentious. He deprecated the prevalence in
this country of training boys and young men
in the arts of warfare. The only warfare
that man ought to wage, said he, is the war
fare against evil in all its forms. Concluding
Mr.. Bryan said: Society is in danger be-
cause of the terrible conflict that threatens be-
tween the rich and the poor. Shall we say
that the outcome will be warfare between
class and class, to end only in the rule of that
class which can take the upper hand and rule
because it has the strength? How much bet
ter to recognize that all are brothers. Recog
milton of that doctrine will not rob life of
bravery it will not make Us towards, for it
takes a brave man to live righteously before
men in the strenuous world of today it re-
quires brave man to stand up against error
in his own political party and to maintain q
righteous principle"
