and said:

Conditions throughout the country
appear to me to indicate Democratic

When asked If he would discuss State
matters at his Trenton speech today.
he said that he might, but if he did
so he would discuss them only in a
general way.
The Nebraskan missed the train out
Of Jersey City that he had first in
tended TO take.
That was because he met his wife
and daughter in New York, and their
greetings delayed him so that he missed
his connection by three minutes.
Mr.. Bryan wa accompanied from
New York by Edmund A. Whittier and
George w. Miller, both of last Orange.
They met him at the Hoffman House.
{ Messrs. Dullard and Madden, of Tren-
ton, got on the train that Mr.. Bryan
was originally scheduled to take from
Jersey City, but when they found that
he was not aboard they disembarked at
Newark. They then got the train which
the Democratic presidential candidate
I had taken.

Bryan talked at length with Lincoln
Steffens, the nls.4 who discovers the
"crimes" OF the cities.

here tor his delayed visit at
noon today, accompanied from
New York by Mayor Madden, Of
Trenton; John p. Dullard. who was
Frank S. Katzenbach's manager dur
ing the last campaign, and Martin Dew
lin. He was met at the station by
committee consisting of Irving Mar

But there is a new Civic Club, not
exactly risen from the ashes of the
former. but rather a brand snatcfod
from its fire. which has by no means
burned out.
The lively war which has been car
ried on by the members, and which
has kept al! of Newark clubdom on the
alert, both sides having won out in q
certain number of slsirmishes, reached
a climax yesterday, when the faction
headed by Mrs. Harry Campton held u

All during this time Mrs. Pell was
in another room, yresiding at u bust

that it was being held against her ex.

meeting at 4 o'clock.

"Will the election stand, IL they hold

''They seem to think so" was her

Downstairs things were happening.
Mrs. Lozier called the meeting to or

of new officers came up, some one cried,
How can we proceed without the

Mrs. Weeks was dispatched post haste
to Mrs. Pell to find out the where

handed TO her the designations of Mrs
Adelman, Mrs. Lavinia Rolf and Miss
Emma Babbitt. Back went Mrs. Weeks
The first two designations were imme-

RICH WOMEN HELD
IN EFFORT To KILL
GUATEMALA RULER
President Cabrera Loses Finger
When Many Assassins
f Fire at Him.

GUATEMALA. April 21.--Assassins
made daring attempt to kill President
Manuel Estrada Cabrera in this capital
city yesterday. Shots were fired at him
as he was going to the National Palace
TO receive in audience Mr.. William
Heinke, the new Amsterdam minister.
Hundreds Of arrests are now being
made. Among the suspects arrested are
many women. the wives of rich land
owners and others. who are accused Of
completely in the murder plot.
The President had arrived at the gate
of the palace, situated in Seventh ave-
nue., near Seventeenth street. when a
number of men opened fire on him with
revolvers as he stepped from his car
riage.
One of the shots took effect wounding
Senior Cabrera in the right hand. The
police and military escort who accom-
panied the President drew their revol-
vers and rushed after the would-be as
sassins. Many arrests have been made,
but il is NOT stated whether the real
authors of the outrage arc among them.
The adviccs state that tranquility
reigns in the capital and that the au-
tborities have the situation well in
hand.
President Cabrera has in the last year
been the object of several similar at
tacks. The last occurred on April 20,
1907, when a mine was exploded close to
the chief executives carriage. General
orellana. chief of staff of the Guate-
malan army, was killed by that explo-
sion, as were the horses attached to the
presidential carriage.

A PuzzIIng Question.

What Is going TO become Of all the
unmarried business women when they
are too old TO work." was the rather
startling question propounded at a
meeting of a woman's club In New
York.
"A business man, member of a lead
ing publishing house, said to me: Have
YOU ever noticed what lot of rice
old maids there are In our employ
What viii finally become of themY
These women are nice They are
usually In receipt of a good salary, but
they haven saved anything. Improvi-
dent? No, not necessarily.
'.They live in accordance with the
American standard Of living, and they
can afford to live in that way with
the money they earn, besides 1t is re-
quired Of woman In good position
to dress well. If they were saving.
'provident' you would call it. how could
they save, at the best, enough to secure
them from want for the rest of their
natural lives? Their business useful
ness ends at 90 years of age, say. Some
firms generously pension women worn
out in their employ, but these are few.
Something will have to be done to meet
this emergency. Proud, independent,
superior as they are and so many of
them"
There should he day for thinking
about marriage" suggested a member
of the club. Just as there are Labor
day and Memorial day and others. Men
in the cities are too busy, their lives
are too strenuous to think about mar
riage. If there was a day set apart
for thinking about ii and parade OF
all the nice men and women. who
would in that way see each other in the
light of candidates for matrimony. some
thing might come of Ii. and this growing
celibacy be put stop to which threat
ems TO depopulate the world. and these
fine women would rot then be left 10 d
lonely dependent old age"
This question is not one to be treat
ed with levity," remarked the first
speaker with frown. 1t has not OBJ
truded itself upon the students OF so
cial economy as il will do. Spinster-
hood was never so general before as il
is becoming. Just run your mind over
the women of this class whom you
know.

Many offshoots of the suffragette
movement are found in England, and
one of the most amusing is a campaign
against the wife who posters her hus-
band about trifles in the household.
Many leaders in the suffragette cause
assert wives must talk politics. instead
OF household cares. with their hus-
bands. Probably the most interesting
contribution TO the discussion has come
from Canon Horsley OF London, who
says there are three classes OF chatter
ing women" all responsible for many
evils. First of all, there Is the wOm-
an who has no sense OF proportion. -
says the analytical canon. "She chat
tiers away about Insignificant little
things. This kind of woman in the up
per classes drives her husband TO the
club. Among the poor she drives her
husband TO drink. The second chatter
ing woman is the wife who harps away
on one string. Here again the husband
goes TO the club or to the bar. The
third class OF chatterlng women Is the
one who cannot express herself with
directness. She wanders from one point
to another. and it is impossible TO bring
her back to the main topic. The hus-
band is lucky who is not driven by her
TO insanity" There is truth in what
the canon says. but he does not point
out a remedy. 1t Is significant. too,
that not one engaged i'm the discussion
has prescribed a plan for the muzzllng
of the chattering woman. Evidently In
that respect she l. looked upon as be-
yond reform.
