Woman's Home Companion For No
vember, 1909.

The city of Pittsburgh, the life of an
actress. the franchise for women in Den
yer, all these are most entertainingly dis
cussed in the Woman's Home Companion
for November.
Special investigators who have gone to
live in Pittsburgh, and who have had rare
opportunities to observe its social life,
say that Pittsburgh may belikened to a
huge pie, with upper and lower crust a
plenty, but noticeable lack of what the
good housewife realizes is the chief
feature-the filing"
AS for the stage, the actress who tells
her story here has found that twenty
pounds of weight and good digestion are
but two of the things she paid for her ex-
perience.
But women will no doubt still venture
on the stage-just as women will still
struggle for the ballot--in spite of the fact
that in Denver according to an article by
a Denver woman politician in this issue)
the much-prized privilege has crumbled
to dust in their hands.
These women especially will be in
terested in the story of club woman, who
resigned abruptly from all clubs and will
never go near them again.
Yes, women wilLcontinue to venture
and successfully-as witness the exper-
fence of Lillian Todd, the first woman tc
build an aeroplane, who tells her re.
markable story in this months Woman's
Home Companion.
A very different woman is Queen Elena,
ideal mother, whose story is told by
Kellogg Durland.
A new detective story by Anna Kath-
arine Green in this issue begins we'll.
There are stories also by Kate Douglas
Wiggin, Alice Brown and many others.
And there is another chapter of Edward
Everett Hale's popular "reminiscences.
So much for pure entertainment For
practical use there are the sixteen regular
departments. Especially interesting are
the two for mothers. Fashions in furs,
an article on hammered brass, "a Three
Thousand-Dollar House." are few of the
interesting, useful subjects covered.

REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING.
Ex-Congressman Schlrm and Other
Speakers Make Addresses.

The Sixth District Republican Social
Club held its first public meeting of the
campaign on Tuesday evening in the
public hall, Rising Sun, which was filled
to OVERLOOKING, the audience including
quite number of the colored brethren.
The Rising Sun Cornet Band paraded the
streets of the town before the meeting,
rendering several selections, and was in
attendance at. the hall, interspersing the
speaking with music.
B. p Nichols, president of the club,
who presided, read list of vice-presidents
and introduced the speakers. Letters
from F. E. Williams, candidate for Comp
troller, and DR.. J. l. France, regretting
their inability to be present, were read.
Charles A. Benjamin, candidate for the
State Senate, was the first speaker, and
devoted himself to local affairs, charging
loose management in the county Offices
under democratic regime and promising a
better order of things if the republicans
were elected to Office. The speaker also
took fling at the State road work and
Commission, declaring the work in pro-
gress in this District was, being done for
political effect alone, and would be aban-
doned Immediately after the election.
Ex-Congress nan Charles R. Schirm, of
Baltimore, followed with the speech of the
evening, his address consuming an hour
and quarters time and being scathing
arraignment and bitter denunciation of
the democratic administration, or ''ring,
as he styled it. Governor Crothers was be-
rated in the most bitterly partisan manner,
the election law and franchise amendment
denounced, the negro upheld as law
abiding, peaceable and industrious citizen,
the road commission ridiculed and charged
with using the means at hand in upbuild-
ing vast political machine for corrupt
political purposes, ETC., ETC. In point of
fact the speech fairly bristled with in
vective, and was by far the most caustic
political TRADE ever delivered to an au-
dience in this town.
Henry M. Mccullough, Esq, of the
Elkton Bar, closed the meeting with
brief speech directed principally against
the disfranchise amendment.
The committee in charge expended no
little effort in decorating the stage, which
was artistically draped with the stars and
stripes, cut flowers and potted plants
being also used to advantage, the whole
producing pleasing effect to the eye.
Quite number of ladies were in atten-
dance at the meeting, which did not ad-
journ until after eleven o'clock.
