when delegates to the conventions of the
National Woman's Party and the Con-
grcssional Union will meet at national

wOmen's organizations.
The proposed union of these two i'm
portant organizations of voting and non.
voting women is significant. 1t was stated
at the Congressional Union headquarters
yesterday. in that 1t is evidence of the
fact that the fight for the passage of
the Federal suffrage amendment will be
earnestly pressed with renewed vigor
from now on.
The amalgamation of the two organiza-
tions. It was generally admitted, would
be wise move, as through the merger
all possibility of duplication of work and
divergence OF method would be elimin-
ated.
The organization, when perfected. Will
probably be known as the National wo-
mans Party.

Following the announcement that diple-

this country and Germany. the Congress
sional Union for Woman Suffrage stated
that it would continue for the present to
maintain the suffrage picket line at the

unions position, Mrs. Abby Scott Baker,
national press chairman, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
THE necessity for protest against dis
franchisement was never greater than
II is today when such important decisions
are being made. Women will bear a fun

share Of the price entsiled by the de-
cisions. Yet nearly 100000 women are

now whether the decisions made today
and in the days to come by the govern
ment would be any different II the opin-
ions of women had the weight that at

would be different or not nobody can

DEFENDS SEAT ORDER

a sweeping denial that the order re-
quiring seats for all passengers on street
cars during rush hours is uncertain was
made yesterday by the Public Utilities
Commission in answer to an appeal of
the Washington Railway and Electric
company. Corporation Counsel Syme,
acting for the commission, defended the
stand of the commission in regard to
this portion of Standardization of street

The answer filed by Mr.. Syme fatty
denies that the order is vague, uncertain.
or indefinite, or that the application of
the standards adopted by the commits
sion would materially and necessarily
change the service furnished by the rail-
way company or cause additional run
nlhg expenses to accrue without increas-
ing the revenues.
me commission declares that the rail-
way company had plenty of time to re-
cite It's case before the order was put
into effect.

LAST DAY
FOR LISTING LODGINGS

A. l. Sinclair, president of the Chamber
Of Commerce, announced yesterday that
registration of boarding and lodging
houses for accommodation of inaugural
visitors will cease Tuesday, February 20,
at noon, and that after that time no more
will be accepted.
Mr.. Sinclair called attention to the fact
that no registrations would be accepted
this year at the Union Station, as had
been done in former years. The reason
for urging immediate registration, he
said, was on account of the immense
amount of time necessary in sorting,
copying and proof reading the printed
lists.

THE LATE CONFER.

Perhaps onefof the most unseemly
and annoying spectacles in church is
that of the late-comer clambering over
others in getting in and out of a pew.
I have seen four people settled in one
of our church pews which holds five.
When the fifth comes along, instead
of moving in and letting her take the
outside seat, they all rise and bunch
themselves against the seat and com
pei the newcomer to climb in on the
kneeling bench across them to the
very inside seat. In any case, the
effect is awkward in the extreme, but
when the last conner is large, heavy
woman, it is atrocious.
Then comes similar performance
at Communion time. The person oc
cupying the last seat in the pew may
be the only communicate. 1t is ba(
enough to make her climb out ovel
all the rest to approach the altar, bu
reverence for the Sacred Presence
should prevent the other occupiers O
the pew from compelling her to ge
back the same way.

declining years with tender devotion
Such words, penned by a recent
writer, tell how far mothers love
will follow a child even in his career
of crime. How tenderly and closely
must mothers love entwine itself
about the child who walks the path
of virtue, unsullied by the stains of
sin? The dawn of new year must
force upon our minds the thought that
the days of mothers life are being
quickly numbered. We will look upon
her pale but pleasant face, but let us
see in her gentle smile the index of
the tender love that burns in her
heart. Let us ever be mindful of the
depth and the warmth of our mothers
love. In all cur years it will be for
us an inspiration, and, with Gods
grace, it will serve as our strongest
security against the dangers the new
year may set across our path. Honor
thy dear old mother today, it may be
too late tomorrow.

"HONOR THY DEAR OLD
MOTHER"

Honor thy dear old mother Time
has scattered snowy flakes on her
brow, plowed deep burrows on her
cheek; but is she not beautiful? The
lips are thin and shrunken, but these
are lips that have kissed many hot
tear from the childish cheeks, and the
sweetest lips in the world. The eye
is dim, yet it glows with soft radiance
of holy love which can never fade.
All, yes, she is a dear old mother.
The sands of life are nearly run out,
but, feeble as she is, she will go far
Their and reach down lower for you
than will anyone else upon earth.
You cannot walk in the midnight
haunt where she cannot see you; you
cannot enter prison whose bars will
keep her out; you cannot mount a
scaffold too high for her to reach
that she may kiss and bless you in
evidence of her deathless love. When
the world shall despise and forsake
you, when it leaves you by the way
side to die unnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather you in her feeble
arms and carry you home and tell you
of all your virtues, until you almost
forget that your soul is disfigured by
vices. Love her tenderly; cheer her

monastery by one OF the plantagenet
Queens Of England, in gratitude for
the kind services OF the abbot OF the
time in having the remains Of her son
(Who met his death in the ncighbor-
hood of the abbey, while Oh a visit to
Ireland), inferred in the church. The
erection Of the tomb is ascrihed TO her,
as also is the rebuilding OF the abbey
church, which surpassed anything OF
the kind in Ireland in it's architectural
splendor. Circumstances point to the
fact that the young prince-'the wonl-
ans son''-was no other than pierce
the Fair son Of Isabella of Angoul-
enc (widow Of King john, by her sec
ond husband, lie Brun, Count Of La
Marche. He would therefore have
been half brother Of Henry H. Of Eng
land. His death is recorded by the
| -Four Masters, as having occurred in
Ireland, 1888.
The Abbey Of Holy. Cross, as one of
the greater mOnasteries, was sup
pressed under the fiat Of Henry VIII
in 1886. The abbot Of the time, Viii

ton that he would enjoy the revenue
for his lifetime. Eventually, Holy
| Cross with it's appurtenances was con-
ferred by Elizabeth Oh Thomas, Earl
| of Ormond. However, we find as late
as 1853 the divine ministrations were
still exercised in the church. The
| year 1892 was apparently the last dur

was exposed for public veneration.
/ Subsequently, the community with
drew to Kilkenny City, where pri-
vate house was rented by the abbot,
Ri. Rev. Luke Archer. Here they de-

times, but the hoped-for day of re-
| turn to their monastery never came.

now the charge Of the Board Of Works.
