ing part in the preparation of the wo- mems section Of the Exposition but she is also arranging for a great con gress of the voting women of the United States to be held in San Fran cisco next July, Women from tho suffrage associations in the unenfran- chised states will also be invited to be present; but the main purpose Of the congress is to organize and educate the wonen's vote in the states in which women are already enfranc his ed.
 a After the luncheon there will be a business session of the Executive Board and the Advisory Council, which will occupy most of the after noon. The Annual Meeting of the Congressional Union will take place in the evening at Rauscher's ball room. There is a very large membership of the Union in the District of Columbia, but there will also be women present from Baltimore, Philadelphia, and ev- en from cities as distant as Chicago and St. Louis. Plans for the coming year will be outlined and discussed. The main feature about the Congress sional Union is that it has gone into enfranchised women in gaining the vote for all the women of the country. It has appealed to thee to defeat can didates of any party in power, which refuses to enfranctise women, wheth- CT that party be Democratic, as at present, or Republican.

Severe norafists used to have their spiritual inventories at stated periods.

pRoKEN REsolUrIoNs.

One Of the periodic jokes of Janu- ary is the number Of men who swear off on various bad habits and then drop back to their old ways in 9 few weeks.
 It is one thing to make good resolution at home in the security of oneis ffreside with yonr wife looking at you. and Mothers picture over the fire place Quite another thing to keep it when you get. out with the boys at a. m. Saturday night.
 Yet a man who is going to com raaTid other men along the pathways of life ought to be able to command himself If he can't stick to g. cer- tain line of conduct for a couple of weeks, it is not likely that he could brave the difficulties of any advanced business position if it should come to him.
 A man who expects to do large things in life must expect to stand a good deal of ridicule. The people who envy him will find his ideas ridiculous. The people who wish to take advantage of him will try to be- little him. Hence it is excellent prac- tice to make a resolution of some kind. and sec if you can live up to it. After you find you can. then you have a, real excuse for quitting, if it seems best.

CORDOVA TIMES GETS
 MAD FOR NOTHING

The Cordova Times of October 9 says the Gateway is wrong in blam- ing it for publishing a certain story signed by the Gateway some time ago and the Times now prints what is supposed to be verbatim report of a cable sent by the Gateway Since the Gateway repudiated the message the operator in charge Of the Seward cable office drew attention to the fact that the Gateway actually did send message that day to the Times, and the original was looked up. That original shows that the message as printed by the Cordova Times is not the correct one. This is not blaming the Times nor was there the slightest intention at that time of blaming the Times for the error. 1t was thought by the Gate way that some trick might hayo been played on the Seward office force by someone unfriendly to the Gateway but it is now clear that the whole thing was a mistake in punctu- ation made either by the telegraph operators anlong the line or by the Times itself The Times has long since been informed by letter of the mistake and it really has no reason to get hot in the collar Once again, let it be said, in answer to the Times, that even now in purporting to give the cable sent by the Gateway it does not give it correctly, through no fault of it's own, no doubt. Any failure on the part of the Gateway to go more fully into the explanation is due to the desire not to give to much cheap advertising to anyone. The Gate way has nothing to retract or apolo- gize for in the matter and it is neith- CT retracting nor apologizing. The only reason the Gateway sent any message at the time stated to the Times was because it was asking the Times for news and tried to repay the Times by sending it, free of charge, couple of little items of news from Seward.
 Let it be said that the Cordova Times does not usually stoop to the sort of language which soils its edi- torial page of October 25th.

FAULT IN CABLE
 FOUND IN VALDEZ

VALDEZ, Oct. 26.-The govern ment cableship Burnside arrived at the Valdez dock late last night and bright and early this morning large force of men were at work unearthing the cable from tidewater to the cable office to determine a defect which exists on the tidehat The work vas kept up until the tide forced the men to suspend operations.
 Lieut.. H. w. Gregg, of the U. s. Signal Corps, is in charge of the cable laying and reports that the Burnside found the cable parted in two places. The first break detected was at a point about forty miles north of Sitka, where the original cable had parted, at a point where the water is 600 feet deep. The Burnside was three days in making the splice, as terrific storm was raging. On the third day the weath- CT moderated and the crew kept on the job from early morning until mid night.
 The second break was found near Wrangell, where a new cable had parted under earth movements. The cable had been snapped clean show ing that a tremendous pressure had been exerted.-Prospector.
