work and were accompanied by some
danger in the taking.
Professor Stearns Talk.
At 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon DR..
Wallace N. Stearns of Fargo college,
who has been a great traveller, gave a
talk on the Hebrew Prophet, n 1t
was one of the best talks of the day.
He is one of the best known Bible
authorities in the northwest and was
listened to attentively. He was fol-
lowed by DIR. Sherer, who talked on
Mohammed and the women or Moham-
medism. He said that 1t was a fact
that the girls of the tenderest years,
some onlV 6. and 8, were sold into
slavery and that she was usually mar
ried and the mother Of children before
she was 13. He said that the treat
ment of the women was simply out
rageous and gave many instances that
had come under his w personal oo-
servation. He said that in many cases
the women were looked upon by the
men as being inferior and they even
went so far as to say that they a no
souls, and could not be admitted into
paradise.
Women in Turkey.
Then he took I'D women life in Tur-
kew and said that hardly one in 1000
knew how to read and ne said n a
they had to keep their faces covered
with a veil as the rules did not per-
NIT a woman to show her face except
ing to her husband. The hardships, or
the women in Turkey were beyond de-
scription and he told of the harem ana
said that all she had to do was to en-
terrain her husband, that she did not
know how to work. He told of how
easily the men could divorce, their
wives, by simply saying divorce thee,
and the act was committed. He can
then marry again, but she Is denied
this, but must remain single the PAL
ance of her life. The First P~reshyter-
ian church last evening was crowded
to hear DR.. Sherer's illustrated lecture
ON thA same subject, the slides being
taken in the far away land, and We're
of a fine type. They showed every day
life both of the men and women ana
were very interesting. They a been
colored by artists of high ability in
Japan and elsewhere. During the lee
ture he gave come idea OF the curious
customs of the Mohammedans, going
into their methods of farming, their
IDEAS of society, their form of religion
and many other matters that gave the
audience much to think about. Then
he dwelt at length or what the chris
tian religion was doing for this be
nighted country and made a plea for
more workers in the field. he said
hat King George ruled over more
Mohammedans thar does the sultan OF
Turkey. The lecture was one OF the
hest features of the
Other Features.
In connection with the movement
there has been arranged In the oase-
ment of the First Presbyterian church

The members of the Minot Woman's
club enjoyed an interesting meeting
Saturday. Ten members responded to
dotes OF Lincoin's life. The papers pre-
sented were Home Life of Women in
Russia. by Mrs. julius Weinrebe, and
STA, by Mrs. A. NJ. Hardaway. In the
absence of Mrs. Hardaway, Mrs. F. j.
Lyman read the paper and the selected
topic by Mrs. d. A. Dinnie dealt with
Pure Clothes. Too much cannot be said
of Mrs. Dinnie's paper, which was an
earnest appeal to the women to protect
themselves and their merchants from
the fraudulent methods practiced by
manufacturers. While pure foods and
other methods of sanitation have be-
come topics of common interest to all
progressive and well meaning mer-
chants and buyers, very little has been
said OF pure clothes. When n wishes
to purchase an article labeled all
WOOL" silk" or linen" we must abide
by the merchants word for it's quality,
while he, in turn, has only the manu-
~facturer's statement, there being no
law to protect either the merchant or
the customer. Investigation has shown
how many frauds are constantly plac-
ed on the market, of which adulterated
silks and ribbons are the most COM
mon. We would be surprised to know
how many ribbons and silks are
weighted with metallic salts, with ord
ers from the manufacturers to weigh
the articles, and the presence of such
salts Is very hard to detect, even with
the use of a microscope. Mrs. Dinnie
brought to light an interesting in
stance. where in the laboratory of a
New York college an article marked
all wool was examined and it was
found to contain no wool. 1t was re-
turned marke Twice on sleeps
back" meaning that worn wool gar
ments had been rewoven into that
piece of cloth. A sure test of whether
cloth is linen or cotton, Mrs. Dinnie
stated, is to burn the goods, the linen
making gray ashes, and the cotton
black ashes. Over $500, 900, 900 is spent
in our nation annually for textile
goods, Of which at least IS per cent is
purchased by the women. Should not
the women feel it their duty to edu-
cate themselves in these frauds and so
know what is being purchased? Mrs.
Dinnie's paper furnished admirable
material for discussion, and she had
command of her audience from the be-
ginning.
