HAD BARRIERS TO
KEEP WOMEN AWAY

An interesting letter has been
written by a gentleman, who, when
boy Of nine years of age, was
present mt the General Convention
held In Richmond In 1850. The
"The year 1859, the pre-woman's.
rights ern, was, of course, that OF
women's privileges. and the fair
"AmonR their captures were the
front sentt In st. PnuFs, ana the
hapless delegates had to sit ana
speak anywhere. SO, barrier like.
n gigantic clothes-horse was set
endyvise In the main aisle Il do not
remember about the side nisles).
Even Phillips Brooks could have
gotten past on either side, but the
ladies In their enormous hoops were
cleverly bamed.
~ do not know that the barrier
itself would have permanently tm-
pressed my boyfsh mind. But there
was q singular Indifference to e1.
ternals In the Virginia Of that day.
while In the churches worship OF
the ugly was cult. SO this bar
rier was implanted and unplaned,
and except that such q thme
would seem Impossible, should
say that 1t was made OF fence rails.
I know that I have the feeling
that 1t was OF hevvn, not sawed,
wood, and not symmetrical or In
any way regular"

SCRAP BOOKED HISTORY

s One Of the remarkable exhibits In tho
library OF Columbia University Is an
artistically bound volume containing
printed items from almost every news
paper in the United States concerning
the recent 150th anniversary OF that
institution.
3&sT The beauty OF the finished work has
caused much comment. especially when
1t was learned that there Is concern
which makes a business OF preparing
lust such volumes tor every sort OF
celebration and event. The concern
mentioned ia the Burrelle, Press Clip
ping Bureau, which Is located at Worth
and Elm Streets, New York. The
wonder OF their work is that while the
cost of a volume is comparatively trlY-
ial, the labor of preparing ono Is Inn
mense. for In the making OF a single
volume 1t Is necessary to read every
paper, published In the United states.
Aunique feature OF the bureau hwor TX
Is the preparation Of the life history
OF men, especially such as are con-
nected with city, State or national at.
fairs. Such orders usually come from q
wife, daughter or a son. Day by day
the mans career Is watched, and every
line that is printed concerning him Is
clipped and mounted into volumes.
Volumes are made OF the start and
the finish Of the big enterprises Of
golden weddings, insuguratlons3 OF OH !
cials, boat races. automobile tests and

to prepare volumes Including not only

ceased, but such volumes include letters

Committee Of Conference.


The proposed substitute did not
prove acceptable to the deputies. and
a committee OF conference was agreed
upon. and the matter will come IN
again to-day. It was explained that
the principal difference between the
two papers was that the House Of
Bishops put the Initiative in granting
permission to any person not mln-
lister Of the church on the bishop rath-
.er than on the minister. The bishops
also make a distinction between ad-i
dresses delivered on special occa-
,sions, and the regular preaching SER
vices OF the church. such as morning
and evening prayer
a number OF matters are still pend

most important matters on which they
have not acted, and which have been

STRAWBERRIES ARE CHEAF
Wholesale Price TrifIe Lower
Retail to Follow

The opening of today's market finds
strawberries a trif1e lower 20 the
wholesaler, but not sufficiently so to
affect the retail price. The formers
price ranges from $3.75 to $4.0O per
crate to the grower. Better berries are
being now attainable at the lower
price.
Yesterday there were 400 crates of
berries received from Milton and
Freewater. While the price of ber-
res will continue to drop as the sea
son opens, it is very likely that a
strong reaction will set in alta much
earlier date than usual. as Walla
Walla cannot hope for more than a
fourth crop, while the Milton and Free
water crops will not run over two
thirds of the average amount. A fur
ther decline in berries is anticipated
during the course of the day and to-
morrow.
There is an abundance of all vege-
tables. Cabbages. however, are still be-
ing received from California in car
load lots, and local products is not ex-
pected to reach the market for the next
three weeks.
