one of the new clubs Of the Sixth

at HiIl City and is looking toward
broader things so soon in its life. 1t
will soon federate, and is already plan

gallery.
I wish to acknowledge my Indebted
ness to a. number of club women who
have shown enough interest in the
coming meeting to send me their sug-
gestions as to certain features that
would be appreciated. Aside from the
helpfulness Of these letters. the thought
that our friends are carrying the work
in their minds, and wish to give US
their assistance makes the labor much
easier
The preparations for the programme
are being carried forward without any
tangles. The only trouble is, the same
old spectre Of too little time. All, welli
There are some people in the fedora
ton who will not blame me if I fail in
my efforts to keep the programme
within the limits, and they are the past
presidents of the federation. They
have met the same enemy themselves
The Directory Of Clubs is off TIE
press at last. and goes out to the clubs
at once. 1t Is as before announced, not
a complete manual. The one of 1906
was complete, and was issued quite late
in the year, so 1t was thought neces-
sary to send out only a directory Of
clubs this year. The constitution and
bylaws, and much other good matter,
viii be found in the old year book Our
directory would have been issued some
time ago except that, having held it for
more complete reports until the holt
days. it was considered best to hold it
until we could give the announcements
for the Lawrence meeting and the BIZ

stautial gain in clubs over last year. We
have now all the districts federated

No EFFORT has been made to specify
whether clubs are federated with dis

rectory that they are federated, and
we do not wish to separate the inter

The Pioneer club Of Ellsworth
whose federation I announced last
week, IS launching public library, and
is going about the enterprise in a bust
ness like way. A Committee of lead
ing business men have been chosen to
work IN conjunction with a committee
from the club. and a number of plans
are well on their way to fruition. The
sentiment Of the town is in sympathy
with the work, which simplifies mat
tiers, and makes success sure.
This club celebrated Woman's Day
last week, at the home Of Mrs. Huycke,
1t being my privilege to be present. and
to hear a most excellent programme.
During the luncheon which followed a
number OF gentlemen were present.
This club follows the excellent plan
OF inviting representative men to ad-
dress them at frequent intervals, and
Of inviting them as guests occasionally,
thus keeping them in touch with the
clubs work.
The February number Of the Ottawa
Assembly Herald is out. and promises
a welI-balanced programme. Among
the lecturers already secured are
Lindsay Of Denver DR.. Gunsaulus and
Father Vaughan, any one of whom
would be worth the price of the visit
to the assembly. Among the attrac-
lions for the club hour, we are prom
ised Mrs. Isabella Churchill, president
Of the Colorado federation. Those who
heard her at Topeka will be interested
in the prospect of hearing her again,
and will enjoy renewing their acQuaint-
ance with her at the assembly,
It is early, OF course, to talk about
the assembly. with Lawrence and St
Paul intervening, but yet, now is the
time to plan. I wish we might have a
larger attendance OF club women than
ever before, Particularly ought the
Second district club women feel an in
terest in Ottawa, and look on this meet
ing as something very near to them.
Those going with US to st. Paul will
be interested in the announcements
sent out by the General Federation in
regard to hotels at St. Paul, and some
thing concerning the city itself.

FIRST CLASHES OCCUR IN
FRENCH CHURCH CONTEST

Easton is a negro prisoner at Fort
Reno. The offense on which he was
convicted was using vile, abusive and
profane language to officers" while n
prisoner in the guard house. The of
fense occurred after the other battalion
was removed from Brownsville to Reno
and is supposed to have been caused
by Easton's sympathy for the men in
the condemned battalion. The cursing
is said to have been most thorough,
but the sentence is said to be the heaV-
lest on record for such offense
