 At the opening of the twentieth cen- tury, realizing the wonderful strides that progress and enlightenment have made, perhaps there is none more gratifying than the increased and far reaching influence attained by women. Who, when the nineteenth century was yet in its infancy, would have been bold enough to predict to our grandmothers, whose stately heads figures scorned even the support of a high-backed and most uncomfortable chair, that their descendants would don automobile caps, lounge even in drawing room, become active pro- moters of clubs and other female or ganizations, even cast ballot at the polls and be elected to public offices No doubt the dear old danes would have shuddered at such pronounced advancement; but extremes touch, " and never more easily than in the de- lightful being known as the up-to-date woman.
 What boon to many have been the clubs, from the modest societies of the working girls in our great cities to the genealogical clubs-the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Co., lonial Danes and the Holland society," These wonderfully successful organi- zations have conclusively proved that women are competent to direct public work, and to go hand in hand with men in the honor roll of progress.
 But with this infinite number of clubs, historical and genealogical, there appears to be none combining the political and social in a manner which if properly inaugurated might show that the twentieth century is still a measure in advance of the nine teenth and include among the active workers those whom the world at large is somewhat prone to regard as the drones of the human beehive.
 There is very large class of women in the United States who from environment, traditions and certain shrinking from the publicity attendant upon female suffrage are debarred from showing the interest they take in politics and from putting that inter- est and energy into practical use. Taken in the proper form it would seem a possible task to develop that latent force and to make it of consid- erable service to our Republican gov ernment by forming a woman's league. which might be called-unless some bright woman suggest better title the League of the Golden Rod.

getting ahead of us in spite of his ad- vanced age
 It is always the same old story.
 Spring surprises us with it's blos- sons and it's bursting brooks and then summer has come and gone before we know it.
 Very few of us stop to think that this swiftness of time in its passing indicates that we are really living rather than lolling through life
 It is only when the days hang upon our hands that we know how blessed are those other times when we have to make lists of the many things we have to do and get up early mornings to begin them.
 Of course We are likely to complain that we get so little done, especially at this time, when the calendars tell us that another 365 days have become part of yesterdays 1000 years.
 We look back regretfully and repine that we have so little to record in the way of achievement, beyond the mere act of living from day to day and from week to week
 But living in the right spirit, striv- ing, if not always accomplishing and completing the tasks we set ourselves. is nothing to regret.
 It comes near to that simple life that sounds so grand and inspiring when it is lived in the woods, but which is quite as fine when lived in a big city.
 There is no doubt that when we try to set up standards of happiness and contentment and peace at the close of year that has had it's rifts of sum- shine and it's stretches of shade, that it is impossible to put wealth, or fame, or success, personal popularity, beauty or even health itself forward as the great, good thing that makes life worth living.
 It has become the general practice to speed the departure of the old year with every indication of rejoicing, well coming in the new with acclaim and expressions of satisfaction.
 It is natural and wholesome to look forward, but those of us who wish to include the brick of gratitude in the building of our characters should learn tJ omit our complaints of the luck the old year has brought us.
 In truth, the new year will be to great extent like the old-what we make it and how we take it.
 Things will happen in accordance with the same laws that guide this big earth of which we are small part
 So we can greet 1908 in a calm and happy manner, rather than with any manifestations of frenzied joy at it's coming, and let us have the good man. ners to speed our parting guest, 1907, politely.

Treasures Duties.

"Glimpses of the United States Treasury"
was the subject Of an address by Charles H.
Treat, United States treasurer before the
University Club last evening. Mr.. Charles
d. Walcott, president of the club, intro
duce the speaker. The meeting was well
attended.
Mr.. Treat told of the organization of the
Treasury Department and described the
various branches Of Its work. He stated
that it was the opinion of great many
people that the Secretary of the Treasury
handles the money of the United States,
which is stored in the vaults of Uncle Sans
big bank This he said is incorrect. as the
money is only handled'by the United States
treasurer. The speaker also told of the
several robberies from the United States
government which have occurred within the
past few years, notably al st. Louis and
Chicago, when thousands of dollars were
stolen. He stated that although the gov
eminent officers have as yet been unable to
locate the thieves or any trace of them, it
has been decided to recall the issue which
included the stolen $4,000 bills.
Following the meeting refreshments were
served.

credit. Besides the exposition there are
numerous surrounding points Of interest
that claim your attention. OF all the his
torical spots on the Atlantic seaboard, from
the highlands of Maine to the swamps and
everglades of Florida, none surpass, and
few equal, that portion of the country
which lies between the James and York
rivers in the tidewater portion of Virginia,
known as the peninsula.

turesque Potomac, will be a great drawing

DOUBLE CHARGE RECORDED.
Thomas Bowie ACCUSED of Theft and
Resisting Arrest

Thomas Bowie, colored, thirty years of
age, a resident of Knox alley, could find no
reasonable excuse yesterday for going to
market and paying a high price for his
supply of potatoes when he could climb
into a freight car in South Washington and
help himself. 1t is charged he was in
car which contained potatoes that had
been shipped here to a local dealer. He
was annexing some of the tubers, it Is
said, when Special Policeman w. B. Hern-
don appeared upon the scene.
Bowie has been arrested before, the police
say, and he did not mind the repetition, but
he did object to surrender of his potatoes
He attacked the policeman, bit his hand
and gave him a lively tussle. When the
fourth precinct police station was reached
the police took potatoes from the pockets
of the prisoner until they were tired When
they had relieved him of his burden they
locked him up.
Charges of larceny and assault were pre-
ferred against him and he was placed be-
hind the bars. The police say that he was
arrested IN one of the freight cars some
time ago for the alleged theft Of cabbage.

Two Recent Suspensions From the
UruguaYan Legation.

The diplomatic list for the month of
June, just issued, differs from that of the
preceding month in emitting the names OF
Senior Pedro r. Bermudez, secretary, and
Second Lieut. Eduardo NJ. Saez, naval at
tache, as members of the legation of Uru-
quay. This is one of the official results Of
the recent troubles at the Urugnayan lega-
ton. The two gentlemen named were sus-
pended from their official relations with the
legation by the new minister, DIR. Luis NJ.
Lafinur, and are no longer recognized as
members of that legation. 1t is understood
that both gentlemen have appealed to their
home government from the action of the

tectives Cornwell and Baur, who made the
