as the organizer and founder. But these
twelve, two Of whom were present yester-
day. knew that Mrs. CORTLAND started the
idea thirteen years ago, after she success
fully managed sThe Actors Fund Fair.
Her idea, however, was to found a
woman's club TO which actresses, artists
and literary women would be eligible,
club similar 10 the lambs Club.
Having suggested this scheme TO several
women Mrs. CORTLAND In the summer OF
1872 called the first meeting in Mrs, Bertha
Weby's home where details were discussed.
She spoke 10 A. NJ. Palmer, the theatrical
manager who recently died, and he approved
the scbeme and said he would help In per-
fectinF II. The second meeting was held
in Mr. PalmeT's office. The third meeting
was called In his drawing room, where the
twelve organizers elected MIS-. A. NJ
Palmer president, and the articles OF IN
corporation were drawn up and signed
later by thirty-four charter members. At
the third meeting Mrs. CORTLAND, through
some Misunderstanding was absent and
her work OF organization was lost sight Of
until recently. when Mrs. Suzanne West
ford, sister Of Lillian Russell, wrote 70 her
ssiring her 10 attend this annual business
meeting, where she would be hailed as
founder and made a member.
The annual election resulted in q second

hooks AND AUTHORS.

This has boon a season OF anniversary,
centenary and precautionary comment
orations. Last ponth there was a great
literary fanfare over the famous writer OF
fairy tales, A little earlier literary atten-
ion was focused upon the author of a
story oarelessly printed on cheap papcr
In Madrid three hundred years ago and
now pronounced the worlds greatest
and most typical novel; The author
was a soldier and adventurer by calling
an author by accident.
To-day we are called upon 10 celebrate
the centenary Of a writer Of altogether
different qualities from those Of the dreamer
Of fancies or the fighter Of battles.
Throughout the length and breadth Of the
Fatherland and wherever German people
have settled In alien lands the anniversary
Of the death Of Gernany's great poet
will be commemorated by the presentation
Of the dramas he has written and the publi-
cation Of fresh incident and appreciation
Of his life and work. He Ia pronounced
prominently the national poet Of his
country by Herr Won Schierbrand. who
says that millions more Of Schiller'A works
have been sold than those Of any other
German writer. His poems are to be found
in nearly every German home, however
humble, by the Rhine or the Hudson, the
Danube or the Mississippi. Schiler's
dramas are performed on every German
speaking stage on the globe and they always
draw, whether in Berlin or New York.
Quotations from Schiller are more often
used and more generally understood by
Germans than are those from Shakespeare
in the English speaking world
Schller's chief ideals were political free
dom and social enfranchisement, and in
the main Goethe shared these ideals with
him. It was this sympathy which made
two great poets friends and mutual adj
mirers-a fact TO which Goethe once gave
whimsical expression, saying: The Ger
man people ought not to quarrel az TO which
Of us is the greater, but to be glad they have
got two such fellows

Three Sickly Waters.

Three sickly waters of grass have
been nailed to the sidewalk in front
OF the gas Office. They might be either
strips Of the historic sod the stock
companies use in "The Dukes Re-
venge," or bits of 'art" mating from
a Chinese restaurant. Whatever they
are, all three have the jaundice, con-
tracted from the infected granolithic
pavement, the mushy asphalt and the
fiinty curb which hedge them round.
When 1t rains these waters get
sticky. Each little blade of grass
lifts UP its head for a drink like a
fish rising to the surface of sewer.
Then. when the rain is over it gets
battered by swishing muddy skirts,
or trod by thick soles into the trans
planted soil, or wiggled into it's own
roots by darkskinned toes And if it
doesn't rain the blades suffer through
the long day to get their drink at
night from coiled hose and two or
three miles of pipe
Yet these three waters are the
brightest spots On Tenth street for
four blocks. They are the only touches
OF real beauty in ali that area. They
are the only spaces that do not make
Affections of the raindrops and the
sunbeams alike. They punish every
passer-by IN the gentle suggestion
that life was not given to the earth
to be strangled by bricks and strife
and money. and they reward every
passer-by in the picture they suggest
OF rolling fields and grateful shade.
It may not be fair to commerce or
appreciative Of art, but the hundreds
who pass those three wafers every
day are happier In them than ever
they could be In a pavement Of tessa-
lated marble or a monument of the
rarest bronze.

SURE OF CONVICTIONS
IN BEEF TRUST CASES
Delay in Bringing Indictments Due to
Thorough Manner in Which Evil
dence Was Presented.

Officers of the Department of Justice
are said to be unusually confident that
they VIII be successful in their prosecu-
tions of the Chicago packing companies
and their officials who have been indict-
ed in Illinois. 1t is explained by officials
in Chicago that the delay In bringing
in the indictments was caused by the
policy of making the grand Jury's work
much more than usually detailed.
1t was reported some weeks ago that
District Attorney Morrison, OF Chicago,
was confident he could indict the officers,
but that the Department OF Justice
wanted e more complete showing OF the
evidence that would be necessary to coa-
yict. Getting an indictment Is one thing
but conyicung is ano.ner and much
more difficult one As a result of the
insistence of the Department. OF Justice,
it appears, the investigation at Chicago
was pressed far beyond the point ar
which indictments could have been re-
turned. Practically, according TO re-
ports from Chicago. all the evidence
which is necessary 10 win the cases be-

government on the support of the

the others is SO steady that they
usually have their way.
The last notable manifestation of
this spirit concerned the Department
