New York, May 10-At last the

number of these organizations has
multiplied rapidly in the past few
years and it is estimated that there
aren early a thousand OF them in the
city. Most of them, Of course simply
hold meetings once month or
oftener for social purposes or for the
discussion of various questions. The
new style woman's club, however, Is
a very different affair. 1t Is modelled
on the same lines as those followed
in the exclusive male organizations,
with its own quarters. including res.
taurants, library, lounging room, and,
so it is whispered among those who
disapprove the new Idea, smoking and
cahr rooms as web. The start in the
direction of establishing women's
clubs on the masculine model was
made year ago when the Colony
club, exclusively for women, opened
its handsome new building with a
membership that includes many
women of the 400" Now the Ec-

TRANSPORTATION

QUESTION OF INTEREST TO RAIL-
ROADS AND NEWSPAPERS TO.
BE HEARD IN CHICAGO TO-
DAY.

Chicago, May 10.--The suit brought
route comes up for argument before
Judge Kohlsaat in the United States
circuit court Monday, May nth. The
suit is a petition filed by the govern
ment to enjoin the Monon route from
accepting advertising in payment for
transportation. 1t raises generally the
question whether under the Hepburn
law, it is necessary for railroad com
pany to collect its passenger rates In
money The position of the govern
to require the railroad company to
publish its schedules in which the
rates are stated in money, and that
nothing else can be accepted in pay
ment for the charges as stated in the
schedules ~
The railroad company claims that
it can accept from passengers not
only money but anything else at the
valuation which it sees fit to place
upon it. s.a

FIFTY RECTQRS To
out The CHURCH
OPEN PULPIT RULE" TO DC
CAUSE OF WHOLESALE DE.
sERTioNs FROM EPISCOPAL
FAITH.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 10.--Fiftv
Episcopalian clergy in different cities
have agreed upon a certain day on
which they will renounce Episc 3iaey
IS preparatory step toward tmb af'
ing the faith of Rome, according t.
Rev Alvah II. Doran, formerly prom
inent Episcopalian minister of this
city. Ten of these ministers have
charges in Philadelphia, seven in New
York, eight in Chicago. and six in
Fon du Lac Wis, The others are seat
tered throughout The United States.
This wholesale detection to the
Catholic church, according to DR. Dor
an. is due primarily to the open pull
pit" which is repudiated by high
churchmen. DR., Doran refuses to make
any names public, on the ground Of
being premature.
As the result of the adoption OF
the. open pulpit" by the general con.
vention, the Rev. DR.. William NJ Nc

profits, and await the resumption of
traffic that will surely come in time
Any other policy will certainly revive
public hostility and react unfavorably
upon the railroads themselves. They
had better accept their share OF ad-
yersity the same as other people, and
devote themselves to economy and
keeping down expenses until business
revives.
Trade reports continue very unsatis-
factory Where prices have been re-
adjusted there are some signs OF re-
lnewed activity; but the holding up of
prices and wages in many departments
| of industry is simply retarding recov-
| cry. The most encouraging feature in
any quarter is the crop outlook. Thus
far the crops have made an early and
satisfactory start; much better than a
year ago. The acreage of cotton prom
ises to be as large, If not larger, than
last year Winter wheat is in fine con
dition, and in view of the larger acre
Iage promises big crop. Should the
weather continue favorable until the
harvest in June we may even be forced
with bumper crop of winter wheat.
Nothing viii do more toward pulling
the country cut Of the slough Of DEE
rond" than a good harvest. There ar
prospects of a better export demand.
for both wheat and cotton, which, in
connection with recent foreign pur
chases of securities, will tend to retard
gold exports, although a resumption
of the later may be anticipated at no
distant date.
We repeat our advice of caution in.
stock market operations; for, while.
prices may go higher there is danger
of setback owing to realizations, es'
pecially in case of a withdrawal of
present artificial support.

market DAY PERMANENT.

changed hands thru private sales.
These monthly sales are being con-
Quoted under the auspices of the
Commercial Club and those Offering
property for sale are at no expense
for advertising; the only expense
which they are asked to pay Is the
2h 20 which goes to the auctioneers.
Many improvements were made over
the first sale and the managers say
that by the time the April sale takes
place that they will have matters so
systematized that everything will run
like clock work. The merchants of
the city were all satisfied with their
Mondays business so much SO In fact
that while the first two sales have
been much of an experiment, yet their
success has been so pronounced that
Traders Day at Caldwell Is now per-
manent and it Is believed that in the
near future 1t will be adopted as a
sort OF holiday in Canyon County.
BEFORE the next safes udy oCCurs
the half block where the sales have
been held will be enclosed by a fence
and divided into smaller lots for the
accommodation Of those who bring
horses and cattle. A platform will
be erected for the auctioneer and for
the better display of small articles
which may be offered for sale. AL
ready word is being received from
parties who will list stock for the
April sale. which will take place the
E first Monday in April.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
HOLDS SESSIONS.

A special meeting of the CONNER
cial club was held Monday night.
There was a larger attendance than
usual and several matters of impor-
lance were discussed. The Traders
Day committee was empowered to Sc
cure the privilege of fencing the
ground where the sales were held.
A committee was appointed to inves-
tigate the proposition Of getting out
new booklet, as there Is but a few
of the former issue now on hand.
Secretary Gowan has mailed $500
booklets and has answered over 700
letters and is now receiving an aver
age of over twenty letters per day.
Letters are being received from all
parts of the world. A postal card
was received this week from Odessa,
Russia. The party desired informa-
ton regarding this country.
A committee was appointed to wait
upon the city council for the purpose
of having some additional hitchine
| racks installed and also have sign
boards placed at the corner of all the
streets designating the names OF the
| streets. The idea is to urge all citi
zens to have their houses numbered
| as this step will be necessary before
the city can have free delivery. Much
satisfaction was manifested over thu
success of Traders Day. Without {
| doubt the April sales day will be
hummer.

conditions somewhat changed from
what they were at last visit. He found
this time that there is more conser-

his previous trip. Mr.. Little had a
pleasant visit with friends besides
purchasing large stock of goods for
his big Caldwell store.

when DOCTORS DISAGREE.

DR.. Springer of Boise was in Cald-

the smallpox and chickenpox cases
and determine, If possible. which was
which, for the resemblance in so
close that 1t takes almost an expert
to determine one from the other. 1t
Is said that when doctors fall out
honest men get their dues. Whether
this be true or not in all cases. yet it
is likely to prove so in Caldwell. One
of the local hpysicians was heard to
say that some of the profession were
trying to throw the blame for the
spread of the diseases on him and he
would not stand for 1t, but would
tell some things on his traducers
which would not look we'll In print.
That Caldwell has some cases OF
smallpox in a very mild form is not
denied, but that the number has been
greatly magnified is also true. The
further fact that there are cases Of
| chickenpox in the city is not denied.
but the two appearing at he same
time and the divided opinions OF the
physicians has complicated the mat
ter and caused an exageration of the
number of cases until the disagree
ment arose among the physicians,
there was scarcely anyone who knew
that there was a case in the city.
