DISAGREES WITH MR.. CLEVELAND.
WOmen's Clubs Are Better of Two Evils, SAYS
Correspondent.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Apropos of the letter published in your issue
Of to-day permit me 10 remark that 1 think your
valuable space might be used to much better
purpose than in the publication Of Grover Cleve-
lands opinions womens clubs. whether once or
sixty times.
hold no brief myself for women's clubs So far
as my experience goes. there is nothing much
duller than womans club meeting. But at the
same time, l would like to call to the attention
OF any of your readers who think the matter
worthy OF consideration that human beings must
have occupation. A woman is different from
man in this particular. And there is a large class
of women to whom society allows no legitimate oc-
cupation Therefore they seek, and must inevitably
seek the sham occupation OF the clubs. 1t is q
poor sort of occupation. many of them know
but IT is better than nothing.
Men, where compelled TO endure solitary conhne-
ment have been known to carry some small object
back and forth across their cells. woman shut
up in narrow circle Of social conditions does
much the same thing when she takes to clubs.
If Grover Cleveland and your correspondent
knew anything about women's clubs they would
know that large proportion OF their members are
women who have done their Ife's work Their
children have grown up, and at an age when a
man is in the thick Of the fight they find them
selves laid the shelf. What would Mr. Cleye-
land and your correspondent suggest that thew

SPRING.

The boughs are heavy with blossoms.
The grass grows deep on the lawn
Swecter and ever sweeter
The blackbird pipes to the dawn.
The paths lie pale in the twilight,
AS pale as a ringdove's breast.
The brentwood is blue and silver
A faint rose fades in the west.
o, air of the April cleaning,
o, wind of the linnet's wing
There is little else to he glad for
But my heart is glad of the Spring.

Just then the proprietor who had intro duced pa to the men came in and saw what Was going on. and he said: Here, you heather. you quit this haz- ing right here,' and they let pa down on the floor of the ring, and he got up and pulled his pants down, that had got up above his knees, and shook himself and took out his roll and peeled of a s20 bill and gave it to the eanvasman. and he shook hands with them all, and sad he liked joke as well as anybody. and for them to spend the money to have good time, and they all laughed. and patted pa on the back, and said he was a dead game sport, and would be an honor to the profession, and that now that he had taken the first degree as circus man. he could call on them fo- any sacrifice, or any work, and he would find that they would be Johnny on the spot.
 Then we went out to the dining tent and took dinner with the crowd. and had a jolly time. There was a woman trapeze performer on one side of pa at dinner, and she began to kick at once about the meals. and when the waiter brought piece of meat to us ala great big piece, that looked like corned beef, she said: For heavens sake, ain't that elephant that died all been eaten up yet" and then she told pa that they had been fed on that deceased elephant, until

Easy Escape from Fire.

To be carried to the streets on flow cry beds of ease from theater fire is the happy destiny of those who use the new Mausshardt fire escape He proposes to remove the pit en bloc with the boxes attached to it. as well as the partition walls. into the street by means of rollers underneath the floor. running over a track of rails continued to a suitable length outside the theater, the scheme also allowing for the simultaneous rescue of people in the balconies above by exits through specially constructed window-ioors opened automatically all at once and leading to suspended galleries which are lowered .o the street by the same mechanism actuating the moving pit. Ehe theater is thus omptied from gal lery 10 pit in half a minute. whether the audience numbers five. or 5.000 The galleries are suspended on hinges from heavy ontriegers, which act as powerful single arm levers and turn round pivots fixed below the first bal cony. On being lowered all the out triggers anu the suspended galleries move to the side and descend to the street. The gearing is so arranged that at the moment the outrigger gal ieries touch the street the whole pit has been renewed from the theater build ing

unreasoning Predictions.

"About this time, the almanac right say. look for wild prophecies and predictions soothsayers do not receive SO much eredence as former ly. yet there are always plenty to proph
 esy and plenty more to believe random Euesses about what the future holds For instance. says Youths Compan- ion. We are warned to look for a financial panic in 1907 or 1908. We are told that panics come once in r. ort5or 20years or whatever be the mys- lie cycle. Under careful examination ine causes of panic are found to be so many and so sariouslv combined that tyen f one knew all the causes of for mer panies and saw all those causes reproduced in present events. | would still be impossible to know when a panic will be due No doubt there ssill be panic some day. That sup position is almost as safe as the pre- dlction that some day it will rain
 ls the story appears in the newspa pers that well-knoWn fnanciers are arrang- ing their affairs against an imminent financial storm. We should remember that successful rich men keep them selves protected against hard times every year. Another large class of soothsayers Is busy making prophecies about presidential candidates. Some of their reasoning is euriously falla
 cIoas. Since no man was ever elected to the presidency direct from the sell
 ate. il Is argued that no man who shall have seat in the senate ill 1908 can succeed MT Roosevelt. That is like saying because no man has been succeeded in The presidency by a man with hair the same color as his own, therefore the next president must have hair of different hue from Mir RoQse- selts. Some reasoning from present cause to future effect is sound-with
 cut it We could not conduct our af fairs. But we should examine eau tiously the sort of argument from ante cedent probability in which the ante

..uil of fun, and he went off 10 attend to some business and left pa with the gang. They were practieing riding bare backed horses around the ring with a rope hitched in a belt around the waist of the rider, and an arm swinging around from the center pole so if they fell off the horse the rope would prevent the rider from falling to the ground, a practice that the best riders adopt early in the season. the same as new beginners. cause they are all stihened up by being out of practice. One man rode around a few times, and pa got up close 10 the ring. and was making some comments. such as: Why. any condemned fool could ride horse that way" when the circus gang as quick as you could say scat, fastened a belt around pas stom- ach. that had ring in it, and before he knew it they had hitched a snap in the ring. and pa was hauled mp as high as the horse, and his feet rested on the horses back, and the horse started on a gallop.
 Well, say, pa was never so surprised Tn his life, but he dug his heels into the horses back, and tried to look pleasant. and the horse went half way around the ring, and just as pa was getting confidence, some one hit the horse on the ham with a piece of board, and the horse went out from under pa and he began to fall over backwards, and l thought his circus career would end right there. when the man who had hold of the rope pulled up, and pa was suspended in :he air by the ring in he belt, back up, and stomach hanging down like ! pillow, his watch dangling about a
 oct down towards the ring. and the lorse came around the ring again and as he went under pa. pa tried 10 get his feet on the horses back. bus he couldn't make it work. and pa said as cross as could be: .Lookahere. you fellers. you let me down, pr will dis charge every mothers son of Vaa.'
