CONCORD QUARTERLY
MEETING HELLO HERE
Burgess Pennypackerof West
Chester Took Part in the
Discussions

At Friends Meeting House. Fourth
and West streets yesterday. the Con-
Icord quarterly meeting was held.
Eight monthly meetings Darby.
Chester, Lansdowne. Goshen, swath-
more, Conoond. Birmingham and Will
mington were represented.
The religious session consumed about
an hour. The speakers were: Caroline
Worth, Larina Hopes, of West
Chester; Thomas Kirk. Newton; David
Ferris, Ezra Fell and Hannah M.
Thompson, Wilmington.
Matilda Ganigues, of Darby. was
clerk of the meeting and she was
assisted by Morgan Bunting of Darby.
At this meeting fourteen queries in
the discipline We're answered and the
answers forwarded to the yearly meet
ing to be held in Philadelphia, May Is.
The queries were read and after the
answer from each monthly needing had
been given, a summary answer was
given by the clerk
The third answer-We are careful to
maintain testimony i'm favor of the
free ministry of the Gospel and gener-
ally against the system of profess
sional ministry was more generally
discussed than any other. Burgess
Pennypacker of West Chester, arose
and asked
Shall this society not cease its at
tacks on the systems Of churches?" He
said that the question relating to the
professional ministry should be left out
William p. Bancroft also spoke
against the second pant of the query,
saying that he felt that it should be
left unanswered.
The sentiment of the meeting was
that the query and its answer applied
to Friends only and that no uncharit-
aIbleness was intended toward other
Idenominatios. The answer nally stood
as follows:
I'VE are generally careful to maintain
a testimony in favor of the free minis
try of the Gospel and against the sys-
tenn of professional ministry"
Reports from the monthly sneetings
were submitted and delegates named
to the yearly meeting.

COLD NIGHTS CAUSE cArARRH.
Everyone Should Use HyOmei and Kill
the Germs.

NO other season Of the year is re-
sponsible for as many cases OF catarrh
as the Spring. The war mdays and
cold nights, with their frequent and
sudden changes I'm temperature, bring
the catarrhal 'snufiles" TO nearly ev-
eryone.
The best physicians long ago saw
the folly Of taking medicine into the
stomach to kill catarrhal germs in the
head and throat. Air alone can reach
these germs. and today the most sue
cessful physicians prescribe Hyomei
for all catarrhal troubles.
The germ killing and health-giving
hyomeA when breathed through the
pocket inhaler that comes with every
outfit, penetrates TO the most remote
cells OF the air passages and respira-
tory organs. II SEARCHES out and kills
catarrhal germs IN The head. throat

that our nation. with its great Federal
graft system and its smaller state and

EDITORIAL OPINION
HouseeIeanIna Al Panama.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
It is encouraging to read the report
for March of that energetic and cap
able army surgeon, Colonel w. c.
Gorgas, who has been charged with
the sanitary redemption of the Panama
Canal route. and comforting to reflect
that, however constructing work may
lag, The iathmus will lbe so thoroughly
swept up and put to rights that the
digging can proceed without every
lalborer necessarily taking his life in his
hands The sanitary officer logically
precedes the engineer and laborer in
such an enterprise, and this vitality
important preliminary work seems to be
going on with admirable thoroughness
and despatch.
Colonel Gorgas reports that during
the month Of March, out of 1900 persons
employed Ia all capacities only 1853 were
sent into hospital, of whom only eleven
died, n death rate which would be re-
sanded as creditably low in any
community. as Colonel Gorgas truly
says. il is not to be forgotten, though.
that the most dangerous season of the
year is yet to be encountered, and the
most deadly work, in the swamps and
jungles of the isthmus, yet to be
The good results thus Car
have been achieved by rigid enforce
ment of well-known rules of santa
tion and by taking merely common
sense precautions.
In short no obstacles are liable TO be
met with on the isthlhus that were not
overcome in Cuba by THE same men
who now have charge in Panama. 1t
Is a bigger job, not an essentially diff
ferent one, to accomplish which only
long-tried and thoroughly approved
measures viii have to be adopted. A
good staut has been made.

MR.. cLEVELAND's CLUB WOMAN.

Mn CLENELANDiS CLUB WOMAN.
T 4 HAS become customary for pres
4 idents and presidents in recent
years to discuss sociological questions
with the same freedom with which
they discuss matters Of state. Nobody
questions the propriety Of Mr.. Roose-
velt's disposition to utter pronounced
views on race suicide. nor do they
deem Mr.. Cleveland's views on the
modern club woman, as expressed IN a
magazine article. as showing a dispo-
sition to trespass on the preserves OF
other people.
Yet the views OF a president or ex-
president on affairs not even remotely
connected with governmental matters
OF course have no more weight than
lslmilar views expressed by other peo-
pie. In this spirit many clubwomen
have attacked the position taken by
Mr.. Cleveland in his recent article, and
some Of them have found things to
say in the way Of reply that are full
OF ginger.
But, being mere man." we are in
clined 10 regard Mr. Cleveland's views
as essentially sound. He takes the old
fashioned view that most important OF
all Of our institutions is the home, and
that anything which interferes with
the making Of that institution all that
1t should be is to be deplored.
The opposite view is expressed by "a
club woman Of Boston who says: This
hard-and-fast idea Of the old-fashion-
ed home is a relic Of slavery. The soon
er It is done away with and woman is
set free, the better it will be for her"
Now we are in accord with any scheme
which proposes to give all human be-
lngs their rights and which has for
its object the wiping out Of slavery
where it exists; but to say that the
American home necessitates female
servitude is a falsehood and a mis-
chievous utterance.
There are new" women, fortunately
their number is not great-who seem
TO regard emancipation as scheme
which frees them from every human
oblgatioHa They are devoting their
lives to developing their minds and
lcultivating their souls while others
take up their burdens, which necessi-
tates an extra load for somebody For
there is a vast degree Of work. worry
and care that seems to- have been made
necessary by the eternal scheme OF
things, and the drones make more
work FOR the bees.
Mr. Cleveland undoubtedly means
that the club woman as such is a
creature that should be discouraged
And, for that matter so should the
club man. The objection is not to
clubs for either sex but to that view
which makes them the substitute for
the home, the center Of our life. The
club man and his sister, the club wo-
man are beings who add little TO the
happiness of others and generally miss
the one thing they are striving for
their own happiness.

But the wonder is that some Of these

JUST nARNAcLEs.

ONE Of the most beautiful things in
~ this world is perfect satisfaction
with things as they are. and which
looks to Providence to supply the
things that are necessary in due sea-
son without any effort on our part.
True. we are likely to become coated
with barnacles. but then there are per-
sons who dote on barnaeles, exhibiting
them as their most priceless posses
sions
In every city town and hamlet Of the
state, from Wilmington 10 Delmar,
there are men who by long years Of
effort have accumulated a fine lot Of
barnacles. These they exhibit with
pride, and urge al Of their fellow cit
liens to turn in and make their own
private collections.
Let us say IN all oandor that VIII
minglon cherishes among her treasures
a very fne collection of this ancient
species. And we will venture to say
that if an agreement could be reached
with the people Of a Western city Of
equal size whereby an exchange OF in
hahitants would be effected, Whining
ton would soon become a. city to be
talked about from one end Of the
country to the other.

question to debate Just as they do is
the world growing better? in a country
lyceum.
We have no particular interest in
any Of these things, but pollticsl An,
now you're talking! why. we just
dote on politics. OF course we have
some interest in the churches and in
the schools. but there is nothing so
ali-ahsorbing as getting right into the
mix and helping to pull through some
candidate that a few bosses have oblig-
ingly named for us.
We do things differently on this side
Of the water from what they do in
England The poor simpletons OF
Manchester when they wanted TO reach
the sea dug a great canal and brought

regarded IL as a business matter.
