FROM MANY LANDS

Last year 4,271 immigrants entered Pert Galveston. The war in Europe
 cut off GalvestOn's greatest source of
 immigrants. Prior to the outbreak
 of hostilities there was a steady stream
 of Germans, Russians, Bohmeians and
 other immigrants from Northern
 Europe. The principal work done by
 1he port missionary since August has
 1een that of handling the refugees
 from Mexico. During 1914, including immigrants and refugees, the mission ary handled some 12,000 people. He assisted 96 men in finding homes and work, and seventeen girls and women.

II is hardly necessary TO say that oS per
cent OF the members women. That is as
it should be- The league was founded by
woman for women. At least it was the need
for more information on public questions
among women which prompted its establish

been welcomed.
1t was just following state constitutional
convention, like the one TO be held next au-

cradle wealth. the daughter OF Theron Butler,
a famous old New York merchant Of for
mer generation-and several other women OF
prominence in the city had been backing an
effort TO amend the constitution at this con-
vcntion in favor OF woman suffrage. The at
tempt was badly defeated. and they came TO
the conclusion that the apathy OF most OF
their sisters in the state, which they held re-
sponsible for the defeat arose from the al

II is hard TO pick out the most famous down
town lunch club All of them are varied and
adapted to separate needs. Among the hoary
pioneers which f1ourished after the Civil War
were the former Zodiac and Titans' clubs and
the Downtown Association. The Zodiac Club
was perhaps the initial lunch club. Some fifty
life insurance presidents. judges bankers and
other reputables were among It's members.
They met in cafe. The Titans' Club was

gbe and the height of six feet two inches
was necessary for membership. Large meals
were consumed.
Among the present lunch clubs the Down
town Association is one of the Oldest. 1t is
dignfed with building all its own Its mem
bership is cosmopolitan including all leading
professions. It's quarters are luxurious and
comfortable, with the air OF repose about them
that is suited 10 an organization that was in
corporated at the beginning OF the Civil War
The Lawyers Club, established in 1887, had
sumptuous quarters in the former Equitable
Building. Ostensibly for lawyers, it became
one of the most famous literary and artistic

is frequently distinctive, though not always IN
accordance with its name. In the Lawyers
Club. fc- example, you see literary celebrities,
soldiers sailors, railroad men and merchants.
Here and there, if you look carefully, you may
find a lawyer. Most of these, however, are
lunching at the Transportation Club, the Al
dine Club. the Hardware Club, the Whitehall
Club or the Midday Club.
The Aldine Association originally club for
publishers, printers and bookbinders, enter

things, they said, i: it takes decades TO do 1t.
But very wisely Mrs. Sanders did not found

decrced that on the question OF suffrage and
on all other controversial points the league
should take strictly non-partisan position.

only to mpsrt information for its own sake.
To-day some very strong anti-suffragsts are

much larger element of suffragsts. MI.
Ely receives letters often on the same day
criticising the league for its pro-suffrage
stand and for its anti-suffrage leanings, for
its radicasm and for its conservatism. for
siding with this element and for siding with
its opponents He thinks. and he has right
to, that one could have no better proof OF
the impartality, strict neutrality, OF his or
ganization.
Mrs Sanders found great many persons
eager to see lecture league succeed who yet
thought success in New York impossible.
You cannot get New Workers to attend lect
ures,' they said. But Mrs Sanders had faith,
and she picked fortunate time, though she
didn't realize it, in which to launch her prof.
ect. But even the depression following the
financial panic Of 1893 could not change the
nature of the New Yorker overnight, and the
lecture attendance, to begin with was not
hattering. Indeed for the first few years
Mrs Sanders carried the league all alone.
Gradually, however it struck root and, aided
by an occasional long night Of gloom and not
few twilights, it has grown into one OF the
citys permanent institutions, though not yet
entirely sclf-supporting. Its annual budget
amounts now to about $4,000 or $4,000, and
it even has small endowment OF $4,000,
which it does not touch, but seeks 10 increase
into sum the income from which will be
decided help.
