Woman's Work in Club The threatened encroachment of the philanthropic department of tho Woman's club upon tho work ot the extension branch of tho Young, Women's Christian association In the vicinity of lowor William street has occasioned considerable feeling ot late. For over a year tho latter organization has been carrying on a most effectual work there In tho Interest ot womeu and girls. It has well organized sowing classes and mothers' moctlngs, a most successful literary club and gymnasium class, and, best of all, has secured a feeling of unity among the young women that Is chiefly responsible for tha success. Tho branch work Includes the women nnd girls for blocks around Graco chnpol, at Sixth nnd William streets, whero all the mcotlngs aro held, extending as far cast as tho tracks. It was the original Intention of tho philanthropic department to reach the girls and women of the First ward, and upon investigation tho field about tho old Chapel of the Carpenter, down on tho bottoms, at Second and William, seemed tho most In need of such work. This neighborhood Includes a llttlo settlement ot squatters, most of whom are Bohemians, who make up a llttlo colony of their own, having little to do with those about them. Accordingly, tho sewing classes were opened In Soptcmbor, those formerly Interested in tho work there relinquishing all tn favor of tho club women. From tho very start there has been difficulty tn gottlng tho women to go down to assist with tho class work, tho neighborhood being very Inacces sible, and sb a result the work has fallen almost entirely upon flvo women, who have been compelled to restrict tho privileges and entirely exclude tho smaller girls. Ileccntly tho members of the committee havo decided that their field does not admit ot sufficient scopo and are looking about for a station further west, and In so doing have croated tho feeling among the Young Women's Christian association branch workers. Those experienced In the. work of the neighborhood aro of the opinion that It tho philanthropic committee gives up tho work at tho Chapel of tho Carpenter It will cntlroly sacrlflco Its usefulness In that part of town, for the girls and women of tho bottoms can nover bo Interested out of their own colony and would drop out en tirely, and ns tho branch work covers all the necessity of Its own district tho com mltteo's work there would be entirely su perfluous. A yet no new location has been se cured. TO AMEND BANKRUPTCY LAW Omihi Aiittifttlti f Ortdit M Making a 8trnj Efftrt CONSIDER!

Thoso who hnvo experimented with the system claim for It many great advantages over tho old telegraph system. They assert that by means of tho telephonic system the servlco will be practically revolutionized.
