Y FAR the most important
and significant event in
the world of women's
clubs that has taken place
in some time is the organ
lzation and opening of the new
"Lyceum' in Berlin. This is the
second in a series of women's club
houses which it is intended to make
international, and il is peculiarly
significant that Germany has been
selected, or rather, selected itself for
the purpose.

both continents. A meeting was
called at which it is safe to say that
every woman OF prominence in Ger
many who happened to be in or
could come to Berlin was present.
The meeting was presided over by
the novelist, Gabrielle Reuter-, while
Bertha Won Suttner, Ossip Schubin,
Ida Boy Ed, and other writer's of dis

Mrs. Charlemagne Tower, the wife
Of the American ambassador, advo-
Gates the club warmly and supports
all its functions with her presence,
and openly expressed interest. Prin-
cess Fedora of Schleswig- -Holstein
is also a member of the club. She is
a writer Of graceful verse and has
Published book under the nom de
plume of F. Hugin. She is very
much in evidence at the clubhouse
whenever she is in residence in Pots
dam. The German club has intro
duced several innovations which
have not been found necessary in
London. A special qualification for
membership in the German Lyceum
has been established for the benefit
Of the many strangers, particularly
American students who come here
every year. Besides the ordinary
members there are the so-called
Hospitanninen, or temporary mem
bers. They may enter the club for
a year, enjoy all its privileges and
take part in the literary and musical
entertainments which are arranged
for certain evenings each week, the
subscription dinners, which are
given once a month, and at which
one of the two presidents presides,
and whenever possible notable
guests are present
Every woman connected with the
club feels it her personal duty to
extend the hand of cordial fellow
ship and friendship to the strangers
who come, and there is no question
that great good will result from this
better mutual understanding that
only such an international organiza-
ton could make possible.

Memphis, Tenn, March 31.-A Com

City says: 1.-The statement made by
the negro NJ. ]. Hornsby, in his COM

prevented from holding position in
the postoffice here by reason of mall
treatment by white citizens is denied
here. Hornsby stood examination for
a position in the local postoffice at a
time when two cIerkships were vacant.
The examinations were passed by three
negroes and one white man. One of
the vacancies was filled by Lee Cum

race not to accept positions in the Of

distasteful to the white residents and

mail carriers, but not as clerks. Horns

nett for position as clerk, but later
in writing withdrew his application on
being warned by white residents that
his appointment would not meet with
the approval of the white people of the
community. AT that time, it is alleged,
Hornsby was carrying a loaded revolv-

PooR IN CHURCHES.
Secretary shaw's idea Of How to Deal
with Them.

Nv
washington, March 81 Secretary
Shaw delivered an address on the man
ner Of dealing with poor In churches
before the Baltimore conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church. He said
in part:
Not long ago a Methodist minister
asked me, Why is it that the Catholic
church is more successful in reaching
the poor than we?' replied, That is
easy. They never talk about it. They
draw no distinctions. They never abuse
the one nor patronize the other. The
Methodist church was designed for peo-
pie; rich people and poor people; edu-
Gated people and uneducated people; ;cul-
tured and uncultured. But do not be-
lieve it was ever the design of God or
man that it should be the church of one
to the excelsior Of the others. In my
Judgment the only way to keep it the
church Of all is to stop drawing dis
tinctions between the sons of men. I
believe there is more prejudice on the
part of those whom the world calls
poor against those whom the world calls
rich than vice versa. But ! believe
that this prejudice is only heightened
by continually talking about it, and if
this were a popular audience as dis
tinguished from a gathering Of church
workers, I would not refer to the sub
iect,'

Attempt 10 Scare Him Into Giving Up
$500 Fails.

Stamford, March sL-The appearance
of several private detectives near the
home of William Ziegler, who financed
the Baldwin Arctic expedition, several
weeks ago created no little excitement
at the time, and to-day their presenre
about the place was explained. 1t is
alleged that a threatening letter was
written to Mr.. Ziegler demanding that
he place $500 in pail in Woodside park,
in the outskirts of this city. The writer
stated in the usual manner that Mr..
ziegler would be killed unless he did as
directed. Detectives We're called and
one night SIS was placed in the pail.
The detectives watched and after wait
ing several nights two young men ap-
preached and were fired upon. This
served as a means of frightening the
supposed send of the letter and moth
ing mtre was heard Of the matter.

transferred to the policy holders. In
the matter of a division of the board
of directors between policy and stock

been reached, it is said tonight. In
some quarters, it is claimed, that all
present differences are now in a fair
way toward settlement. The Crimmins

policy holders asking their support in

statement brings out Vigorous Ar
plausc--iSaiser's Visit to Tangicr.
Paris, March 81. Foreign Minister
Delcasse made a significant speech in
the senate this afternoon which evil
idently was designed to meet questions
arising III connection with the visit of
Emperor William to-day 70 Tangier.
The minister spoke with moderation.
but his closing declaration that resist
Iance III interested quarters would not
cause France to modify her policy
brought out vigorous applause.
Frances Moroccan policy M. Del
casse said, continues on the same con-
ditions as it was begun. The sultan's
weakness and the anarchy resulting
therefrom were prejudicial to every
body, and especially to France, in AL
geria, We had to seek a remedy for
the intolerable situation without allow
ing our action to awaken the suspicious
of other nations. France does not pre-
tend to base her interests on disregard
for the interests of others. Thence
arose negotiations resulting in agree
lments proclaiming that France possess
es special standing in Morocco. The
Anglo-F French treaty recognizes that 1t
is Frances task to assist in opening
Morocco to civilization, and also that,
from the economic point of view, all
nations have an equal footing there.
The Franco Spanish agreement con-
firms their views. The terms of the
Anglo French treaty were Immediately
communicated to the sultan; of this
fact the issue of the Moroccan loan by
France is proof. If France sought a
pretext for intervention, one existed in
the disturbed state of the Algerian
frontier.
However from friendship for Moroc-
co and a clear conception of her own
interests, France merely pointed out
the necessity for establishing order.
That position we still hold. The resist
ance of parties interested in maintain
ing the present anarchicaI condition of
affairs leaves no room for illusion, but
that viii not modify our policy. Moroc-
co is aware both of our good will and
our strength, and also that we do not
seek to expand n1aturely thought-out
programme of Moroccan policy, 1t
therefore appears that France will sue
ceed in assuring its future in the west
ern Mediterranean without offending
any right or clashing with any inter-
est"
