ELL SORTS OF BEARS.
A Christmas P.ntomime Will Introduce
Them to Children at Holiday Time.

Many little folk will be made happy at the Lin
coin Square Theatre during the Christmas holi-
days. Charles E. Blaneys big Christmas panto-
mime and extravaganza. THE Bad Boy and His
Teddy Bears" which opens there tomorrow after
noon is designed to please the little 1t Is full
of bears. Bears that walk, bears that talk, bears
that cut up pranks and capers, stylish bears
homely bears, cinnamon bears, fuZZy-wuzZy griz-
zlies and mamma and papa and uncle and grand
daddy bears, and they all pleasure bent
That is. il seems to please them TO please the
children The chief family of bears live in hand
some cave, under the side of the mountain, and in
Dantomime grotesquely burlesque family life. The
two naughty bears, Teddy and Flossie, are mis-
chievous little rascals. and Mamma and Papa Bear
have terrible time OF it in administering parental
correction and restraint.
Many orphans and other children who cannot
afford to pay for seats will be entertained as the
guests OF Mr. E. Blaney during the holidays be-
ginning with the Hebrew Orphan Asylum. Chill

WHICH WILL WIN?
Three Women's Societies Wdnt CLub
Quarters at Waldorf-4storia.

Although New York has many so-caIled women
clubs there is surprising dearth in the American
netropolis Of the kind that have local habl-
tation as well a name, and supply all sorts ol
comforts and conyeniences to their members rms
lack appears now to be in a fair way 10 belils
s,,pulied for arrangements are under way for the
format'on of another real club the order of the
Colony Its home will be the suite of sixteen
rooms in the Waldorf-Astoria constructed origi-
nally for George c. Boldt, proprietor of the wal
dorf- Astoria and formerly occupied by John W.
Gates. Three club leaders have been approached
with a view forming organization and II is now
a question as to which will get ahead of the others
One is the president of a club already organized
and her plan is 10 enlarge her club, maintain the
present dues of SIS a year for the first year, and
receive all new members at the same rate, with
an initiation fee of the same amount Later the
dues would be raised, as it would take a thousand
members at SO & year 10 pay the rent OF s-o,Wo
a year.
The rlanagement OF the hotel favors the forna-
ton Of an entirely organization, and this is
what will probably be done, with a membership of
five hundred at $50 q year.
There is no doubt, said of the women in
terested, that there plenty of women who
would be glad to join such club, and think
you'll hear in very short time that the arrange
ments have been completed"
The proposed club will in respects have
advantages superior TO those of the Colony. There
will be trouble. for instance. about a license,
and there will be little responsibility for anything
but payment of the rent, all service VIII be
furnished by the hotel, and each woman will pay
her personal expenses.
The apartments in question reached by pri-
vate entrance and elevator in West S3d street, and
besides the large rooms there six bathrooms,
several bedrooms and private kitchen and pantry.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

Civil Service reform strikes at the root of boss
rule said Elliot II. Goodwin. in talk to the
Wornan's Municipal League at No. 19 East 2sth
street, Thursday morning. THE boss sells public
positions for and his rule fed by patronage
Civil Service reform instituted originally for
the purpose of doing away with this system. rather
than with the idea Of securing more efficient public
employees. Its purpose was TO deprive the boss OF
his power Of distributing places in response votes
and 10 free the employe from political slavery.
THE movement has been concerned chiefly with
the national government. but Civil Service reform
is equally important in municipal politics, IL not
more so National politics interests than
municipal affairs, and so we pay less attention to
the latter and the boss has freer hand.
I'VE have not yet reached the goal at which we
are aiming AS yet the principles of Civil Service
reform have been applied only to subordinate posi-
tions. We have not seen our way to applying the
test to higher positions but that must come,
whether the choice is made through competitive
examinations or by other method.
only thus attain to real democracy and
an untrammeled expression of the Will OF the
peonls :"

was the superintendent of nurses at Johns Hopkins
Hospital, Baltimore. Instruction in hospital man
agement has been given at Teachers College for
about nine years, but this is the first attempt TO
have classes in the management of the domestic
affairs of such institutions.
This course has very little 10 do with domestic
science or domestic art but deals with a branch of
domestic affairs that has been almost untouched
heretofore. The majority of women who graduate
from domestic science schools know nothing about
the problems Of administration. They are forced
to gain experience by serving assistants, meth

The first demand for that would enable
hospitals to have trained and competent women In
charge CT their household arrangements was made
about nine years ago, when the American Society
of Training Schools for Nurses appealed to the
dean Of Teachers College cooperate with them in
Offering of study along this line But the
work carried in conformity with the regular
courses of the college, and the practical questions
of administration were not touched.

is only step further than Sweden went a few
years ago with her law for state management
of the iouor business. The other laws which
are credited to the women are the old age PEN

Judge CARRIER Upholds True Bill
Against Alleged Lumber
Trust.

! Guthrie, Okla, April 30.-Following
/ two days argument by Attorney j.
X. Keaton of Oklahoma City, repre-
senting S. M. Gloyd, humber dealer
of that city, and by John Embry OF
Guthrie, United States District attor-
neY, the federal indictments against
various lumber dealers we're held good
today by Associate Justice Milt Gar
Der of Enid, who is presiding here in
place Of Judge John III. Burford, who
was sworn off the bench by the in
Gicted lumbermen.
In representing Mr.. Gloyd, who IS
one of the lumbermen under indict-
menu, Mr.. Keaton presented a demur-
rer to the indictments and argued
that the matter as charged in the in
dictments did not constitute a public
offense and that the indictment did
charge that public offense had been
committed within this county. This
was in substance the same argument
presented several weeks ago by attor-
neys from Kansas City, who in these
same cases sought before Judge Bur-
ford to have the indictments quashed
against Harry Al. Gorsuch of Kansas
City, secretary Of the Southwestern
Lumber Dealers association, and J.
H. Forseman, manager at Kansas City
for the Long-Bell company. Judge
Burford at that time held tho indict-
ments good and Judge CARRIER did the
same thing today.
