ANNIVERSARY OF
MEMORABLE SPEECH.

Washington, Jan. 21.-Today is
the anniversary of one of the most
memorable speeches ever delivered
in the United States senate, and that
fact is recalled by many aged men
of Washington who lived in the nat
ional capital during those troubled
times. 1t was on January 81, 1861,
that Jefferson Davis. who later led
the lost cause Of defeat, arose in his
place in the senate chamber and SOL
lemnly announced the secession of
his state. Mississippi. from the Union,
and his withdrawal from the senate.
Those who heard the momentous
address of Jefferson Davis declare
that it was masterpiece of oratory,
not impassioned, not vindictive, but
abounding in expressions of love for
his former colleagues and associa-
tions. 1t brought tears to the eyes of
many senators, and after its con-
clusion nearly every member of tho
august body crowded around the tall,
thin, towering form of the Mississippi
statesman and shook his hand in
farewell. The address was grave
and earnest and delivered with all
the courtly grace of a southern gen.
tleman of the old school, but the
force of the orator did not serve to
hide the depths of feeling and emo
ton that animated the man.
The anniversary is especially mem
orable at this time because of the
fact that the senate is now the center
of the oratorical activities of another
southerner bearing the same name,
jefferson Davis of Arkansas. Those
who have had the opportunity to hear
both men. however. declare that the
similarity between the two men
stops short at the name. and that the
present Jefferson Davis, in appear
ance, actions and speech, Is almost
the direct opposite of his disting-
uished predecessor.

MAKING LIFE PLEASANT
FOR WOMEN WORKERS.

From the Brooklyn Life.
When one of the leading college
presidents visited "Sorosis Annex" in
Lynn, Mass, not long ago, he spoke
of this unique philanthropic enterprise
as a place where young women meet
daily to clip the coupons from the
bonds of goodwill that bind them to
their employers" This is so we'll put
that it may be called the motive of a
woman's club where mutual esteem
and friendship are given careful atten-
ton.
The problem OF Messrs. A. E. Lit
tie & Company in establishing the can
nex," which bears the name OF their
welllknown brand of shoes, was to
create a resting place for h leisure
hours Of the many hundreds of women
employed IN their big Lynn factories.
In brief, Mr.. Little wanted to add heart
to all that hand and head and wond-
erful machinery were doing for him.
This combination and a healthy atmos-
phere seemed to him to make for per-
lection and so he set about to cause
his dream to come true.
For the use of this unusual club a
spacious colonial dwelling On the prin
cipal residence street of Lynn was
and fitted up with the most
and suitable appointments
feminine daintiness with
their ~serviceable qualities. On the
first floor is the kitchen, a marvel of
cleanliness, and equipped with all the
modern necessities and conveniences
and provided with a novel and gener-
Gus storage plant. Next to this is the
dining-roodn. This room is furnished

Sorosis Mutual Aid Association, and
by the terms of its bylaws pays a
weekly benefit to its members in
case of sickness or accident.
The Annex is a benediction, but
not an institution of charity. The spir-
it of independence of the modern
working woman is respected and o
NAL membership fees contribute to
the support of the club, which, be.
sides the customary officers and COM
mittees, has a competent matron to
look out for the comfort and welfare
Of the members. The whole project.
to SUI up, is most unusual in it's con.
ception and arrangement, and has
proved nothing short of Invaluable
in serving to extend the pleasant re-
lations that already existed between
the firm and those faithful
employees VI , aid them by their ap-
plication al industry. In the delight
full social atmosphere of the Annex"
the young women meet and find re-
freshment for mind and body.
In a recent address describing the
practical workings of the enterprise,
Mr.. Little answered the pertinent
question, Does it pay?" in the affir-
NATIVE. He said: 1--WE have found the
club influence gradually spreads
throughout the entire factory. The
physical culture feature alone creates
a desire for right living, not only in
creasing the working efficiency OF
those actually in the class, but ben
eftting all who come in ontac with
its members. Thus the standard of
workmanship is raised by the employ
ees themselves, and the best class of
women and girls is attracted to our
establishment through the club iniu-

to join some of the aforesaid vegeta-
bles on the table, where meals are
served at cost-dinners at fifteen cts,
and breakfasts and suppers at ten.
Naturally a great deal is done in the
way of entertainment and instruction
and to that end a number Of classes
have been organized n ara carried
on by members of the club, under the
guidance of competent instructors. A
mong these are a gymnasium class,
under the direction of Miss Lucille
Eaton Hill of Wellesley College; a
glee club, n millinery and dressmak
ing classes. Numerous other fields of
endeavor and enjoyment are <repres-
ented by committees of which the fol
lowing are some of the more import
ant: entertainment, literary, dramat-
ic, insurance, music, health, lecture,
physical culture and library. 1t is most
interesting, and on the whole aston
ishing, to see the remarkable talent
found and made available along these
different line of club work, and to wit
ness the evident delight and enthus-
iasm with which the members enter
into the various passes of it.

PROSPECTS FOR STATE
HOOD NOT BRIGHT.


TheAlbuquerque Journal, while no
a pessimistic journal is not overly
confident of the passage OF a state
hood bill at this session of Congress.
The Journal says:
Governor Curry and Mr.. Luna, who
have recently returned from Washing
to, both believe that there is a fair
chance for the passage of a New Mex

reason why any n should be in the
least discouraged If the bill should
nave to go over to the extra session,

ent congress on the 4th of March.
When congress meets again on the
4th of January, more than one-third
of the time of the entire session will
have expired, and all of the work of
the session is yet to be done, and
when we remember the great amount
of work of national Importance that
absolutely MUST be done, we can
readily perceive how easy it will be
for any member to cause the post
ponement of any that can af-
ford to wait a little while without in
jury to the public interest, especially
since the extra session comes on al
