Woman's Clubs Not Only Harmful. but
z Menace

am persuaded that without exag-
geraUon of statement we may assume
that there are woman's clubs whose
objects and intentS are not only harm
full, but harmful in a way that directly
menaces the integrity of our Wifehood
and motherhood; that there are 9TH
ers harmless in intent but whose ten
dency is toward waste of time and
perversion of effort, as well as toward
the formation of the club habit and
the liberation or active patronage of
less innocent organizations; that there
are also associations of women whose
purposes of charity, religious enter
prise or intellectual Improvement are
altogether laudable and worthy. Leav-
ing this latter class out of account,
and treating the subject on the theory
that onl ythe other organizations mem
toned are under consideration, / be-
lieve that it should be boldly declared
that the best and safest club for q
woman to patronize is her home.

Sheppard followed him to the door,
and stood staring out into the dark
ness while the thud of retreating
hoofs, momentarily growing fainter,
finally died away in the night.
He took few small coins from his
pocket, and counted them over slow
ly. He jngled them i'm his hand, APP
parently lost in gloomy reflections.
At last he dropped them back into
his pocket and turned to Amt DiIsey
to say:

SEEKS INFORMATION.
Wants the Name of the Fourth Assist
ant Postmaster General.

After receiving and duly acknowledging
several hundred letters of congratulation
upon his appointment as fourth assistant
postmaster general, as the successor of
j. L. Bristow, resigned, the present in
cumbent had just begun to feel at ease
in handling satisfactorily, the multfarlous
duties of his office (Which, incidentally, has
jurisdiction over 10000 souls, including
postmasters, letter carriers, employees of
the rural free delivery service, etc., when
an example of the fates of fame struck
him today in the receipt from Postmaster
General Cortelyou of letter formally adj
dressed to that official and referred to the
fourth assistant 'for Information" The
writer of the letter, evidently of tender
years. exhibited such a degree of wit and
humor in treating his subject that Mr..
DeGraw could not resist his newspaper
impulse to give to the press the oppor-
tunity to make him the subject of the
joke, the effect of which can only be ap-
preciated by reading the letter in it's full
text. 1t ran as follows:
Dear Sir: Having forgotten the name of
the Hon. Fourth Asst Postmaster General
and wishing to address him-to get his
name l went to the Bureau of Informa-
ton. In that Office there was three
clerks-none of them knew the name of
the Fourth Asst P. M. General. However
each one made a guess-one guessed Mad
den one guessed Shallenberger and the
third guessed Conrad. This bureau of in
formation does not inform and should be
abolished. / then went among my wide
acquaintance of clerks and carriers-not
one knew the name of the Fourth Asst
Postmaster General. Some thought Taft
might be his name some said Cortelyou
some thought his name was Machen- The
Intelligence of the service Is something
fierce. In the end l was inclined to be-
heve there was no such official as Fourth
Asst P M. GeneraI-that he was a myth
a creature of my Imagination. There Is
an air of somnolence about the Post-Off1ce
here that Is not consistent with supposed
business concern. Send a confidential
agent here-he will verify me In my state
ments. Please send me the name of the
Fourth Asst Postmaster General"

OBJECT TO INCREASE.
Members Of Royal Arcanum Protest
Against Advance in Assessments.


There is some complaint in the Royal
Arcanum. especially among the older men,
bers over the new rates for insurance in
the order which were promulgated by the
supreme governing body at Atlantic City
recently.
The statement Is made that the sudden
advance in the insurance rate involves
financial hardship the MEMBERSHIP
hardship increasing in proportion to the
length of time the members have been in
the order. Men who had arranged their
incomes on the basis of the old rates are
confronted with much heavier outlay
than they had calculated. The new rates
go into effect on October l. They are to
be applied to all new members taken In
after July /. Already the effort has been
made to appeal to the courts to enjoin the
application of these rates.
In spite of the complaint, however. 1t Is
generally recognized that the increase is
necessary and will be beneficial to the body.
Mr.. John d. Biddes prominent member
of the order in the District, said today that
to find fault with the new conditions. the
younger men do not. The local Grand
Council has Endorsed the action of the SUI
preme body.
dergone radical change. The members
are to be assessed according to their present
age. Heretofore they have been assessed
according to their age when they joined the
order.
This will mean general advance in rates
at the outset. affecting practically every
body in the order. For instance, member
who is fifty-four years old who joined the
order when he was forty-tWo Is now paying
death assessments of 1892 per month per
81 900 of his policy, that being the fixed rate
for forty-two years. Under the new plan
his assessment Will be jumped to $1.S2 per
month per 81 900, which is the rate for fifty
four years.
There are other changes, such as the dx-
Ing of dead limit" beyond which special
conditions will prevail.
