CATHOLIC
W0MEN'S
CLUB MEETS

Last evening there was held at the
Eloise san open meeting OF the Catholic
Women's club. at which time there was
heard a very interesting lecture on the
Plague of Letters" by Miss Agnes Rep
pller OF Philadelphia.
The hall was crowded to its utmost and
some OF the best known Catholics of the
city were among those present The list
included Rt Rev. Bishop Matthew Har-
kins Following the lecture there was a
reception. at which time refreshments
were served, Maguire's orchestra furnish
ed the music.
Miss Josephine Maroney, president OF
the club. introduced Miss Repplier. after
which the speaker began her remarks,
stating that there was apparently no hesi-
tation about publishing the letters OF any
well known man or woman. People who
would not for a moment pardon dullness
in any other form OF literature will read
through bulky volumes OF letters just be-
cause they are letters.
Letters are written for the recipients
alone and If the writer anticipates any
possible future publication their charm is
lost" The speaker said that Matthew
Arnold's letters did not adequately repre-
sent the man. as they were in an intense
ly domestic and affectionate vein. which
could not be appreciated by "A cold-hearted
public.
Continuing, she said There is moth
ing the public likes so well as 10 read
Something which was obviously not In
tended for publication. and for this rea-
son love letters are more popular than
any other published form of letters. The
Of fg almost AL
ways an offence against good taste and.
as the letters are seldom interesting or In
structive. the only attra action about pub
fishing them ia that it violates secrecy"
The speaker thought that the publica-
ton Of the love letters or the Brownings
was TO be regretted, while those OF Bis
marck were commonplace and uninterest-
ing. Henry OF Navarro s love letters were
thought by Miss Repplier to be good, be-
cause the writer did not sink his charac-
ter OF soldier and leader in that OF a lover.
and he recognized that the reader had a
mind as well as a heart.
Those who received with Miss Repplier
were: Rt Rev. Matthew Harkins Rev
Fr. Austin Dowlng. moderator OF the
club; Miss Josephine Maroney, president
and Miss Theresa O'Donnell, vice presi-
dent
The meeting was under the direction
OF the board of the club. consisting OF

engine. now kept in reserve. at cost
of about Sl2500.
II will be remembered that the finance
committee only approved the purchase OF
one engine and the repair OF the reserve
steamer and this was expected to cause
opposition on the part OF watchdogs

As the resolution was amended TO pro-

II was also thought that the board might
be asked TO pass on the original sup

by Mr. Grimwood
AS the mayor and Aldermen Grant and

extremely likely that the original provid-

CONSPIRACY
BILL UP FOR
HEARING

A hearing was given before the senate
judiciary committee today on an act de-
fning conspiracy and providing for pen
alties therefor.
James w. Stillman appeared before the
committee 10 explain the purposes Of the
act and he went on TO state what the
crime Of conspiracy consisted OF in his
opinion and why ne wanted a larger
penalty attached 10 the crime than was
provided for I'm the present law.
In connection with this act was an
other act which provides for the repeal OF
certain sections OF chapter 229, which ne
claimed had reference 10 the other act
and was I'm relation 10 suretjes for cost.
He declared that tho sections OF the
present law made II almost impossible TO
al time institute criminal proceedings and
this fact being known 10 criminals. result
ed in an encouragement 10 crime. lie
believed that the way to rectify this was
10 repeal the present laws. He thought
1t was the duty Of all men who knew OF
crime 10 make a complaint and IL was
this belief that caused him last summer
to make complaint against two persons
whom he believed were in conspiracy.
Mr.. sullman then said that last sum-
mer ne applied 10 the Judge or the thlrd
district court for a warrant for a man
named German. He said that after two
weeks he was asked 10 give surety and
that in answer 20 this request he had
said that he wanted the man held and
therefore there was no need for surety.
Ihe speaker. however was required 20 get
the surety and this he did. The defendant
was arrested and was allowed to go on
his own recognizance.
Senator Stiness had interrupted the
speaker several times and now he said
that this personal experience was not OF
any consequence 10 the committee.
The speaker then went on TO 50, the
defendant was discharged and he de-
clared that the result was that he had
To pay $50 and a charge of S525. which
WAS paid TO the defendant as witness and
mileage fees. He claimed that IL was 10

voted TO empower the secretary 10 ar

Inssome cases the mills are retaining

strikers previous 10 last July, while In
others work has not reached that stage
where all persons can be engaged imme-
diately IL is recognized that there are
not sufficient operatives In the city 10

be short-lived
The mill agents say that there IL always
more or less friction OF a trifing nature

Many OF the weavers will not go into
the mills until Monday. but practically
all the other hands here have reported

be running I'm full before the close OF the
month, although some OF them will prac-
tically equal their normal production. 10
Is estimated that the city will not recover
from the strike for one year az the
earliest Relief work will be necessary
for "A fortnight. as IL will be 10 days or
more before the strikers receive much
money.
