FIVE CENTS A Copy
NEGRO WoMAN's CLUB.
Sierra Leone CLAIMS Distinction Of
Largest in the World
1900 Members.

The largest woman's club in the
world is in Sierra Leone. on the West
Coast OF Africa. II is called the Bun
du," and has 1000 members. The
madam president, although they do
not call her that, acts as the Bundu
devil. and attired in her robes OF Of
fce. exercises her power over spirits,
good and evil.
The mother who is member OF the
Bundu keeps her young children AT
home during the time that her care is
essential 10 their well-being. After
that time they are sent away.
If there are boys they are sent into
the ''Poro BUSH" an encampment in
one Of the beautiful dells in the forest.
There the boys are under the charge
OF the ancient and wise men of the
tribe and there they are trained in
hunting. lighting. dancing. singing.
cooking. The Poro bush is the mans
college OF Sierra Leone.
II the child is girl she is sent into
the Bundu bush, hidden and secret
encampment in the forest, where the
old women and strong young men,
slaves are paid workers, care for them
and educate them in the domestic arts.
No man may approach the Bundu
bush except on pain OF death. so the
female seminary OF the Bundu goes
unmolested. no man daring TO ap.
proach.
The parents OF the children must
pay for their care and training and
feeding OF their children.
Occasionally there is public exhi-
bition OF the girls from the Bundu
bush, sort of commencement day ex.
ercise. The girls are handsome II
rather barbaric looking The dancing
costume consists OF short white cotton
skirts. draped with palm leaves. and
from the edges OF the skirt are sus-
pended thin pieces of iron that jangle
musically as the girls dance. After
the dances the girls are led back to
their secret retreat
In such cases the parents arrange
the girls betrothal TO some wealthy
young man, or to a child where par.
ents are wealthy. and the betrothed
pays the expenses, claiming her when
her education is complete.-Chicago
Tribune
The club women OF Sierra Leone
are resourceful. They have made pos
sible the education OF all girls OF good
families. even when the families are
not able TO pay the expenses OF send
ing their girls away to this college
or convent In the bush.

Bu, at the las; city election there was
a revolt led In the Republican camps

and l'etter recognition for the colored
vote which practically has been cast
