LOCAL WoMEN's CLUBS.
Meeting Held of District Federation
Last Night.

A meeting of the District Federation Of
Women's Clubs was held last night in the
study room of the public library, at which
Mrs. Charlotte Main presided. Following
the reading of the minutes of the last
meeting, reports were heard from the edu-
cational. literary, civic and social commit
tees. The social committee reported that
arrangements are being made for an enter
tainment to be given in the near future.
A report from Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mus
sey was presented, in which she expressed
the hope that the child labor bill will be
passed at the present session of Congress
and also that 81 800 had been collected by
the school children of Washington, mostly
in pennies, to be used in purchasing shoes
and clothing for the children of the city
who are unable to attend school because Of
the lack of sufficient wearing apparel.
Judge DeLacy of the Juvenile Court
spoke on the child labor question. He
opened his speech by paying tribute to
Christianity, then praised the work of the
women's clubs in their efforts to abolish
child labor in the District The speaker
stated that there were 100000 children
laboring in the United States, and out of
that number = per cent are under fifteen
years of age. In the District alone, he
stated, there are 5000 children at work who
are under fourteen years of age. He asked
that the members of the women's clubs
lend their aid to have passed the Dolliver
bill pending before Congress to have the
child labor cases tried in the Juvenile
Court. He stated that instead of Congress
appropriating $1,000 to take care of the
persons in the Jail and workhouse ,lis
amount should be appropriated to pension
widows and mothers. He said further the
people have much right to ask Congress
for an appropriation to protect the children
as they have to ask for money for main
tanning the Jail and workhouse.
The literary committee was asked to CO.
operate with all other organizations in en-
deavoring to have a revision of the postal
laws on manuscripts and the copyright
law.
1t was announced that the literary COM
mittee would offer a prize for essays on
The Evolution of the World and THE
Favorite Hero of the Civil War" to club
members.
The members of the club were asked to
indorse the bill pending before Congress
authorizing the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor to investigate and report upon the
industrial, social, moral, educational and
physical condition of women workers and
child workers in the United States.
The club will hold meetings the last Sat
urday in each month at the public library,
for which arrangements have been made
for lectures by prominent persons.

MRS. MAVERICK IN NEED.
Former Prisoner Frankly Admits She
is in Distress.

Friends of Mrs. florence Maybrick in
this city may be interested in portions of
a letter recently received by parties in
New Orleans relative to an invitation to
Mrs. Maybrick to visit that city. 1t is
dated at New York. January l, and con-
veys the information that she is in great
need.
II have to save every cent to keep my
mother she says. II cannot starve her
leave the rent of the little home UNI
paid. l recognize all your loving wish to
help me by your efforts to raise sympathy,
but my past sad experience has made me
skeptical of any monetary results from
womans sympathy. 1 am worn out my
self. struggling to keep our heads above
water. / do not feel I can put forth the
slightest strength for anything unless it
brings in cash. The amenities and pleas
ures of life have nothing to do with me.
j never was more i'll fitted to undertake
serious work of any kind. But If 1 can
get engagements from a New York lyceum
bureau shall be provided for. 1t is my
last chance. This work or the almshouse
is the only alternative. My voice is weak,
because 1 am physically worn out. You
must decide what L shall do about New
Orleans"

Alleged Insanitary Drainage.

The Commissioners yesterday received a
petition signed by c. o. Townsend, Harry
B. Shaw, David Griffiths and H. M. Ben
nett requesting that the unsatisfactory and
insanitary surface drainage of aCrroll ave-
nue. at point near the intersection of that
avenue with Maple street be remedied. They
declare that the present conditions are such
as to be menace to the property In the
block bounded by Carroll and Willow ave-
nues and Maple street. They contend that
the drainage should be corrected so as to
cause the water to flow through the cutters
of the streets and not from the street over
private property in the block.
The matter was referred to Col BiddIe
the Engineer Commissioner who promptly
announced that the matter complained of Is
not practicable of remedy. He does not
consider the conditions serious either from
the point Of view of health or otherwise.
