CRUEL DEAD LINE ON WOMEN.

M any of the women write in the PRESS, and they
l a are a numerous, entertaining and influential
group to be sure, are taking up the cudge in de-
fence Of the woman OF thirty-fve years of age and
older. The woman Of that age for some reason
that has not been made clear, has been barred
from the privileges and the comforts of the homes
established in the larger cities for the benefit Of
women who are compelled to work for their
living
Why the dead line has been drawn against them
IS difficult to understand. The only reason that
has been advanced is that when woman reaches
thirty-hve she is supposed to have attained the
age of discretion or to have been married, and no
longer does she need the presumable protecting
care OF the overseers Of the institutions But we
fancy the object of the homes for the EMPLOYED
women, is to give them living comfort at reason
able expense. And a hard problem is it for
woman with the money she earns, and in the face
OF the advanced cost Of living, to maintain herself
Most women who work for the living do not need
the protecting care or advice of Institutions They
know morally how 10 take care Of themselves.
They, from the very fact that they have to work.
are wise in their day and generation. All the

GREAT CHRISTIAN eArHERINo.

nNE of the most notable gatherings for Chris
~ tian workers ever held at Northheld, Mass.
closed on Sunday evening after a session OF four
teen DAYS which was pronounced in every depart
mcnt as the most successful given at that center
OF Christian endeavor. From the beginning Of
the convention until the end all the facilities of
the place were taxed and the meetings were
marked by rare enthusiasm. AS the convention
proceeded new comers arrived and the capacity
Of the pretty Massachusetts, town was taxed to
the utmost before the final day. The program of
the great meeting was in harmony with the at
tendance.
This year there was an innovation in that lee
lures were given during the mornings as-well as
in the afternoons and evenings There was
hardly an hour during the day that some speaker
was not scheduled to give words of advice and
counsel to the earnest band OF Christian work
ers that spend part of their summer in thus pre-
pairing for their chosen labors. The only trou-
bic about such program is that those at North
field would not be able to hear all the speakers
and yet they would not feel that they should miss
any of the lectures. Some of the most noted
workers in Christianity took active part in the in
teresung exercises, the meetings being closed by
DR. G. Campbell Morgan Of London, who also
gave FIVE lectures during the conference. DR..
Morgan is well known in this, country and has
made a favorable Impression wherever he has ap-
peared. As was to be expected, the subject of
missions came in for much consideration. One
entire day was given over 70 that branch of the
work while regular missionary topics were con-
stantly before the sunset meetings. Missionary
endeavorers have been criticised in some quarters
but there is no indication that Christian teachers
arc retreating on this question. In fact mission
airy zeal is greater than ever. Colonel Bryan in
one Of his interesting letters testified to the fine
results being obtained by one Of the missions Of
the Presbyterian denomination, Bryan's own
church, in faraway India. The regular confer
enoe is to be followed by post conference adj
dresses which are in the nature Of an overflow
meeting.
The Mortified affairs have long been success
ful. They show that while many Of our popula-
ton may be enjoying themselves in seeking the
pleasures Of the usual vacation, hundreds and
thousands Of earnest folk are still consecratng
themselves TO the higher and more exalted affairs
OF life. The Northheld conferences are potent for
good and their influence is world wide Each
year they grow in the hold they have upon the
sober and thoughtful Christianity has as strong
grip upon the people as ever it had, despite the
comments of the Indifferent and the destructive
work Of the so-caled higher critics who would
tear down but offer no substitute.

Mrs. Elizabeth L. Merrill, president
of the Skowhegan Woman's Club, will
preside at the meeting to be held in
|Hartwell hall next Monday evening
under the auspices of the Skowhegan
Central Labor Union. The speaker
will be Rev. Henry f. Dunnack, pas
tor OF the Green Street Methodist
church of Augusta and his subject will
be 1.-The Initiative and Referendum
Mr.. Dunnack needs no introduction to
a Skowhegan audience. His eloquent
lecture few weeks ago in the Metho-
dist church upon maine at Gettys-
burg" has awakened much interest in
the meeting for Monday night and he
will doubtless be greeted by a large
audience. Mrs. Merrill has taken quite
a decided stand upon matters relating
to Socialism and that her Introduction
of the speaker will be a graceful one
goes without saying.

Supreme Court Notes.

1t was about $50 Tuesday when the
Supreme court began the afternoon
session. Additional jurors had ar
rived on the noon train and an attempt
was made to impanel the first and sec
ond traverse juries. The first Or
ganized with the choice of A. D.
Brackley of Norridgewock as foreman
The second jury organized with the
choice of E. l.. Moulton of Arson as
foreman. Two of this jury were ex-
cused by Judge Savage. AS there
were no supernumeraries this left the
second jury with 4 panel of but ten
jurors with one other wishing to be ex-
cused and one of the first jury de-
sirous of being excused. AS a result
extra venires were issued. The juries
were completed Wednesday.
The grand jury had mustered Il
jurors at the opening Of the afternoon
session, three being absent. These
went into secret session under Their
foreman, Rupert E. Jackson of Skow-
hogan and in charge Of the county at
torney, Thomas J. Young of Scion

rive in town the day before the storm.

Speaker Cannon received the lelepa-
ton in the lobby Of the House of Re-
representatives.. After the memorial had
been presented. the Speaker addressed
the delegation as follows:
1T is impossible for a committee not
to have many men of many ideas in its
makeup" said the Speaker. Il select
the committees with all fairness. 1t is
impossible for a caucus to select them
as that would consume whole session.
In your annual meetings you doubtless
find a great variety of opinion. If you
don't have a lot of damns I miss my
guess No two men have the same
IDEAS
President Gompers replied to this
statement by praising Rep. Gardner of
New Jersey, the chairman of the
House committee on labor, and stating
that The other members of the COM
mittee, especially the majority men,
bers, have not, in the opinion of labor
interests, shown ordinary Intelligence
in their treatment of matters Affect
ing labor "The general policy of
Congress has been to ignore the re-
quests of labor" President Gompers
concluded.
Speaker Cannon replied that he did
not tank such a criticism just. He
also enjoined labor organizations to
tensider that they have as great a re-
sronsibility resting on them as has
('O,o0raCS flont q r
of such an organization-should take
an oath to administer the affairs of
he organization in the interests of the
greatest number Of persons.
You are not the whole shooting
match, but a good share of it," said
Speaker Cannon. He congratulated
the delegation on it's representative
character and urged that the members
should remember that all men should
be at liberty TO join their organizations
nd that all at present members should
be at liberty not to continue their
membership.
Legislation. policy and administra-
ton, he urged, can only progress as
last as they gain majority support.
The delegation submitted a copy of
the memorial to President Pro Tenn
Frye of the Senate who made no COM
Tent beyond a mere statement that
he would lay the memorial before the
Senate.
AT today's sessions of the executive
council the plumbers and steam FILTERS
dispute was considered but left unde-
tided.
The memorial subsequently present.
ed to President Roosevelt, Speaker
Cannon and Senator Frye was unani-
mously endorsed.
