Upon the subject of the Democrats
chances Of securing q majority In the
House The Herald further says:
1T Ia frankly admitted that no liv.
ing man who feels there will lie q loss
of forty Congressional districts to his
party safely make tho prediction
that the loss will not be fifty or per-
haps more, a loss of ifty-six districts
would tie the House. This Is due
entirely to almost Unparalleled condi-
tions which prevail In the Republican
party organizations In q doz N states
and to agitation along Socialistio
lines for tho destruction Of parties
which Is now sweeping along ]ika o
prairie fire."
1t will be seen that these districts,
which are conceded as lost to the Ra
publioans in the next elections arr
mainly those which were c.rried dur.
ing the landslide in favor Of Mr..
Roosevelt, in the campaign In which
the main issue was r )osevelt himself
The Herald goes on to say that with
serious troubles In New York, New
Jersey, Ohio. Pennsly vania, Massa,
chusetts and Iowa, tho situation Ia
more serious to the Republicans than
one would at frat suppose. Taking
account Of this situation, 1T has been
suR gested that 1t adds another very
important reason from the r ,publi-
can standpoint, why President
Roose Welt should again be entered
for the campaign Of 1903. Many Re
publican leaders still believe that his
popularity would again sweep the
country,

Last winter on the floor Of the
House the assertion was boldly made
by Representative john Sharp Will
liams-for even Mr.. Williams most

Of boldness--that the next House
would bs Democratic by an easv ma
joriry. Although such will probably
not be the case with the Sixtieth
Congress, it ia now generally conceded
by Republican leaders, and the ad-
ministration mt Washington, that
the large Republican majority they
enjoyed during the last session will
be materially lessened. Tt Is admit.
ted that forty Republican seats will
be lost to the next housee. The Now

 in Montgomery.

The last days session of the tenth annual meeting of the Womans FoF' oisr Missionary Union of the East Ala Sama PTesbytery was attended by renres&ntatixe number of Montgomery s women interested in Foreign Missions and delegates from the several churches fin the PresbyterY.
 The two sessions of the last days meeting of the union were hel6 yes terday morning and afternoon in the Sunday school room of the First Pres- hvterian Church and included lecture lon condition of Women in China py Dr. E. w. Painter, who, for more tnan thirty years, has been a missionary to China; reports of the delegates to the union and election of officers for the coming year. .. day morning, pr. Neal IA Anderson naster of the Central Presbyterian Church. Montgomery, suggested that inc hest time for the annual meeting of the union was in the spring, in stead of in the fall. The matter, when taken up for discussion at the after noon business meeting, was reterred to the Executive Committee TOT de- cision. I
 A number Of invitations were receiY- ed bv the union from societies asking to entertain the union at the next meet- inc. but it was dscided to meet at the First Presbyterian' Church. MontEom- ery again. The ladies of the Mont gomery church gave their invitation 70 4he union, which was at once 50 cor dial and so sincere that 1t was unah- imously accepted.
 At the afternoon session, letter was read by the secretay from g. vear-old girl in the East Alabama Presbytery. in which she stated that she wanted to become a missionary and expects to train herself for that work. The President expressed herself as be- lievInR the letter from the little girl to !, a direct answer to the prayers of the society that there be some one raised m in the East Alabama Presbytery 10 take the place of Miss Lizzie Wimbish' who. for a number of years, was sup ported by the women of the Presoy- tery.,

Hummell, Troy; and Mrs
 E. M Craig, Dothan.
 The feature of the morning session was the address by pr. Painter. He
 was asked by the women of the society
 to talk informally of the conditions ot women in the countries of the East in ] general. and in China in particular. For more than thirty years Dr. Painter has made his home in China and gave to l the cause of missions in that land the | hest part of his life. So, without any prelirnfnaries, and without touching upon any other of the great questions which confront the missionaries of to- l day, except as touching and essential | to his subject, he talked of the women of that country, and at the expiration
 of the time allotted him his audience
 was ready to offer thanks for being 1 born American women.
 1 In China, the news of the birth Of ! girl is received with disgust by even l the parents. As child. she receives no consideration and little education,
 and as a woman is only slave In tAe | home of her mother-in-law. In fact. ! the only time when she really receives | any consideration Is when she dies. Then she is ch-mourned, and tab | let is erected in her memory and piacel | by that of her husband if he is dead. | Tn life, she Is ever a servant to her hus- ' band Only in the middle and lower ! classes is she ever permitted to sit ht | table with her husband. and then only on rare occasions. The life of wo man in China is most miserable and ! a most deplorable one.
 pr. Painter brought out some very in-
 teresting facts as to the home life of Fthe Chinese women and dwelt at length
 on the peculiar betrothal and marriage customs And last he showed under the existing order of things In that country, how hard a thing 1t Is for a
 woman to become a Christian and what if must mean to a woman to brave the displeasure of her household when she embraces Christ and His teachings. He
 told also of some of the excellent work which the women missionaries are do- ing in China and other countries Of the East.
