The Missouri Federation Ia said 10
have gained largely since II wa3 de-
clded TO hold the biennial In st, Louis.
The assembly hail chosen for the use
OF the seventh biennial ofthe General
Federation Is the Odeon, for the ac-
commodatlon OF orchestral and choral
societies. 1t is situated on Grand
street, within 10 minutes ride from the
federation hotel headquarters The hall

1t is a little curious that, IN this CEN
tennial year of the Louisiana purchase,
the house built In 1907 In st, Louis by
Captain Clarke, who lived In II until
his death In 1888, should be torn down,
and little or no notice should be taken
OF It, The old house, II Is said, Is now
being removed TO make way for a race
track, From 1918 10 1891 Captain Clarke
was territorial governor Of Missouri,
aud for some time afterwards acted as
superintendent Of Indian affairs. Many
noted people visited his house. and II
was there that the treaty providing for
the removal OF the Osage Indians from
Missouri 10 the Indian Territory was
eigned. The regent OF a Nebraska chap
ter OF the ID. A. n. has managed 10 Sc
cure some valuable mementoes OF the
old place, including part OF the mantel
In Captain Clarke's room, small cup
board used by him, and several feet OF
quaint scroll work In design OF leaves
and grapes, made In France for porch
railing, The regent OF this chapter,
Mrs j. r. Haggard has an interesting
collection OF historic woods,
Mrs. Charles M. Denison. president OF
the General Federation, Is In New York,
resting after a record breaking trip of

she has visited 20 states and has talked
TO nearly 10000 club women, No other
president OF the General Federation has
done so much In the way OF organlza-
ton as Mrs Denison, nor Is her work
at an end, for she expects TO visit a
number OF eouthern states before the
expiration Of her term next spring. II
~ understood that she does not desire,
and viii probably refuse second term,
Efforts by patriotic societies IN Mas
sachusetts to save the famous Dorothy
e. house IN Quincy promises well. Sew
eral substantial subscriptions have been
secured, and much interest n being
manifested IN the scheme The amount
70 be raised ~ only $4,000 The last
