PASSING OF A STORM
Gotham Club Comes Safely Through
Deep Waters-A Mans Woes.

The sufragette movement is not going to wreck
the Gotham Club-not just yet For about ten
minutes before the clubs regular meeting began
yesterday morning at the Wadorf-Astoria the room
was like the neghborhood of a dynamite charge
just before the fuse is lighted. And the charge
never went off,
Mrs Mary Hall Schenck, third vice-president ar
rived early with war in her eye and resolution
she was burning to introduce. The hand that
rocks the cradle rules the world the point Mrs
Schenck meant to make. and she brought with her
guests-just to make the discussion lively-Mrs
B. Borrmann Wells, the English suffra gette. and
Mrs. Mary E Craigie the Brooklyn suffragst.
Excited conferences in all parts of the room pre-
ceded the meeting a knot of women gathered
around Mrs. Wells. all talking at once. Finally
Mrs Wells approached Mrs. Schenck.
The members tell me- she said, that the
Gotham Club would be very much injured just now
by the introduction of the suffrage question. 1
think I'd better not speak.
Fire flashed from Mrs. schenck's eyes How are
you going to say 'Tis." with any emphasis when
the person you brought to say Z" 'Tisn't!" backs
out? She rose majestcally and waved her resolu-
ton.
"All 1 demand here" she said. is an educational
clause in the Constitution of the United States for
both men and women-especially for women. Do
you approve of that? If so. get UP and say So II
you don't. get up and tell why But mark me-
she added. the hand that rocks the cradle rules
the world. There's my son, sixteen years DID, bet
ter fitted to vote than most men. The silent in
frsence of women"-
Mrs Wells got behind a chair. i think I'd bet
ter speak, she murmured.
About this time. twenty women and two men
having gathered the club came to order. Mrs.
Alfred Arthur Brooks president, asked Ardeen
Foster secretary, to read the minutes of the pre-
vious meeting Mr.. Foster cast his eye the
papers he held. and opened his mouth, but no

Gave It lJp,


| friend of the writer recently made
application for public appointment in
q small Scottish town, and, thinking
Cat his chances of success would be
greater by little judicious canvass
ing, he resolved to call upon few of
the appointment lay. OF the civic dig
nitaries' position in private life he
knew nothing. Journeying to the town
in question, he hired A cab at the rail-
way station and requested the jehu
to take him to Councillor Bisset's, the
treasurer. The councillor was found
in his blacksmith's shop shoeing a
horse
IN see somebody of more impor-
lance than this, anyhow" said the can
didate to himself. and. turning to the
driver, he said, Drive me to Councillor
Maitland's Office"
The cabman thereupon drove him to
the local joiner shop. This was
wore even than the smithy, and IN
despair. he ejaculated:
'.Drive me to Councillor Gray's."
81 am Councillor Gray, SIR" replied
the cabman.
The answer staggered the candidate.
He quietly paid his fare and disap-
peareG, resolved to leave his fate in
their HANDS without prejudicing them
in any way in his favor. = London

states that the present month has sc
far had sixteen days In which rain has
fallen, and that, previous to today
there has fallen sc inches, as against
5 " inches for the whole month of May
last year, and 1915 for 1903 for the en-
tire month.
Mr.. and Mrs Ransom P. Kendall
whose home was in Grinnell for many
wears, but who have lived for the past
three years in San Diego, Cal, are
here for three months visit with old
friends. They are in love with their
California home and expect to spend
the rest of their days there
Miss Ellen Price, who has just COM
pleted her second year of work in Til
lottson College, Austin, Tex, under the
auspices of the A. NJ. A., is expected
at the parental home here on Satur-
day. She plans to spend part of her
vacation in special study in Iowa City
and to return to Texas for next years
work.
In one of the very recent violent
electrical storms here, the barn of M
A. Sears was struck by lightning, and
a portion of the roof taken off, with
out further damage of a serious ma
.t,,re. The home of Mrs. Shields was
also struck, the electricity following
the Telephone wire between two Win
dows and breaking both, but not seri-
ously injuring Mrs. Shields, who was
standing by one of the windows.
Professor r. D. Jones, from Nash
VILE, Tenn, is here for two or three
DAYS looking after business in connec-
ton with the j. B. Grnnell estate.
Musicians are enthusiastic in their
praise of the barytone recital by
Campanari, at Herrick Chapel last ev-
ening. Seats are largely engaged for
this afternoon concert, at which an
other musical treat is assured. This
evening symphony concert takes
place by the Thomas orchestra, with
Corinne Rider-Kelsey, soprano sololst
concluding with Cigars ballad Fan
ner of st. George" by the Grinnell
oratorio Society and orchestra.
The Congregational church was
crowded last evening with the parents
and friends of the. firty-fve young
people who received their diplomas OF
graduation from Grinnell high school.
The exercises were of more than usual
interest and the class brings addi-
tional honor to the school and the
teachers, being an exceptionally strong
one as we'll the largest one this school
has ever sent out.
State Game and Fish Commissioner
George Lincoln, of Cedar Rapids, Is
authority for some statements regard
ing the probable size and number OF
fish in Arbor Lake here, that make the
local fishermen sit up and take notice.
According to the game warden, there
must be pickerel there of many pounds
weight and they must be multiplying
with such rapidity that soon the nth
erto ample food supply naturally in
the lake will be exhausted and the big
fish will become hungry enough to take
the fsherman's bait.
There seems to be reasonable GER
taintv at present that Turner and
..Turk Air will have decisive Wrest-
ling match here at the Colonial on
Monday evening next. Every precau-
ton will be taken to prevent accident
and the sporting fraternity are anXi-
ously waiting for a contest in which
there shall be no question of fake.

Prices Were Ten Higher in
Some Instances. But Trade
Rather Slow
BETTER TONE IN HOG MARKET
But All Attempts to Advance Prices
Met With Firm Resistance = Heavy
Outside Inquiry for Good Offerings
Shipping Inquiry for Sheep Very
Light, But Market Was Steady.

Chicago, May 27.-Cattle were strong
and in some instances, 1Oc higher but
trade was rather slow. Butcher cattle
showed the most strength, it being
hard to dispose of steers.
Supply at all markets has decreased
in consequence of the slump, but the
trade needs nursing badly at the hands
of the country Meanwhile an abun-
dance Of grass everywhere is prepar-
ing lot of medium and common beef
and later on it's influence will be felt
decisively. Under present and pros
pective conditions expectation of high
er prices seems illogical.
Killers loaded up with cheap Texas
beef recently, when Fort, Worth was
glutted with it, and cheap natives are
now feeling the presence of that pro-
duct in the coolers. Consumptive de-
mand for beef is undeniably small and
until outlets broaden the prospect is
not bright.
Hogs.
Hogs were steady, with a better trade
than prevailed yesterday. All at
tempts to advance prices were met
with firm resistance. Outside inquiry
for good offerings was heavy.
Since Mondays run of 69,756 arriv-
ais have been equal to trade require
ments. Packers purchase indifferently
and are leaving quite a number in
first hands, good share of them be-
ing held off the market entirely on
orders from the country. Trade has
been very unsatisfactory. packers be-
ing unusually bearish, notwithstanding
lowered receipts.
Sheep.
Sheep were steady and demand was
tame, shipping inquiry being very
light.
Twu.day receipts are 10000 less
than last week which has been the saw
ing factor. Had last weeks "gob"
shown up more decentralization would
have been recorded.
Shipping demand also shows a little
Light stuff enjoys the
premium in more marked degree than
recently and it is evident that the
spread between the light and heavy
will widen out further now that warm
weather Is here.
It Is the same with yearlings and
sheep lis with lambs, killers being will
ing to give little more money If the
stuff looks right to them.
