"I am not athamed of the gospel
ol Clinst" ( Romans i , 16) ) .
rortlniul , Me. , Sept. ll.-Tlio Inter-
nntloniil Itllilu Students Convention In
In HCHslon here wltli 1111 excellent at
tendance and deep Interest manifested.
Pastor Russell of Brooklyn Tabernacle
delivered two addresses todny , one be
ing In Jefferson Thentro. We ro | > ort
one of them from the text foregoing :
Three weeks ago today Christendom
wim Htartled hy n communication
which announced that the Christina
Alliance had lifted n collection of $ r > 0.-
000 In a few minutes $ I00 ! In cash , the
Imlanco In promises. Then followed
the ntnrlllng announcement of Brother
Simpson , Its President , that the col
lection lifted would probably be the
last at Old Orchard , because the Camp
Grounds' Directors had rented Its Au
ditorium for three days for the use of
our Association lie declared that he
disagrees with our theology This , of
course , was a veiled threat that the' '
Directors of the camp ground must 1 j
break their Contract with the Bible' '
Students. This they promptly did , and
wo accepted back the money paid In j
advance , rather than po to Law. It Is
'
for this reason , dear friends , that we
nro having our Convention "outside
the camp.Ve nre glad that Its fence
does not separate us from our great j
Redeemer and Teacher , the Joy of j i
\Vhoso blessing I see In your fnces , I
l Secular editors were astonished ! I
They had been congratulating Chris1 1
tliui people that the days of the rack.
the thumb screw and the stake were
past and that from every quarter were
coming appeals for Christian Union
which , It was hoped , might even ulti
mately Include all denominations of
Catholics and Protestants. Yet here
they had to listen to the contrary a
suggestion that Christian people fit / -
lliincc were HO opposed to Bible Stu
dents that even n year would not lie
sutllclent to purify the air of Old Or
chard and to permit them to meet here
next year to take up another collection.
It seemed funny , too , to these editors ,
that anything could drive a Christian
Alliance meeting away from a $00,000
collection !
f.V
i > Explanations Surely In Order.
Since Brother Simpson may not cure
to tell the whole truth about the mat
ter and since the Christian public Is
Interested and ought to know the facts ,
I must tell them. The unpleasant duty ,
however , will not necessitate my sayIng -
Ing an unkind word concerning Mr.
Simpson and the Christian friends who
are in ulllunce with him ,
There are two reasons why Brother
Simpson thought It doubtful If he
could come next year following our
three days of this year.
( li lie knew Instinctively that his
collections would be smaller , hardly
worth coming for. If the people should
begin to get the eyes of their under
standing more widely opened respectIng -
Ing what really constitutes the Gospel
of Christ.
"
' ' ( I ! ) The JtiO.OOO "raised" was not cash
nnd a large proportion of It never will
be. Some of It Is promised over nnd
over again and telegraphed over and
over , as was the case with the young
woman who In the spectacular manner
offered her Jewels from time to time
nnd had It mentioned In the papers.
Such repetitions of charitable work are
considered entirely proper by many In
connection with religious work In vari
ous denominations , "for the good of
the cause. " Subscriptions are given
publicly without hope of payment , to
intluence others who are more sincere
some of whom In the excitement give
more than they can afford.
Chicago Stockyard Method.
This same method Is Illustrated In
the Chicago Stock Yards. A One. large.
trained bull gallops out to meet the
cattle designed for slaughter. He
waltzes before them and becomes their
leader. Following him In a grand rush
for a narrow passage they crowd one
Another to the executioner , who knocks
them senseless. A special place Just
!
large enough for himself Is provided
for the decoy bull , who , later , goes out
to lead on another herd for the slaugh
ter.
ter.We
We do not mean to say that those
who give their money are slaughtered
or otherwise Injured. Wo believe that
they are blessed that everyone Is
blessed who sacrltlces anything hearti
ly unto the Lord , or to what they sup
pose to be his service , whether It. Is
or not. It is the method of getting the
money from the people nnd the decep
tion practised which we deplore. How
ever. the Alliance has plenty of com
pany In this method In larger Chris
tian denominations. It Is part of the
"business" method of recent years.
Some who did not understand this
"business" method wondered where all
the money apparently contributed to
the "Christian Alliance" work was
spent. An Investigation of Its tlnanclal
accounts was made , which revealed
the fact that they were chaotic , and
other "business" methods were ad
vised.
"The Darkness Hateth the Light. "
Some one may inquire why the
Christian Alliance should fear us nnd
whether or not we' have ever done
them harm. We reply. Never have we
Injured them In the slightest degree ,
nor over even publicly mentioned their
naino before. Their opposition to us
Is on the lines of general principles
mentioned by the Great Teacher , "The
darkness hateth the light ; " "All things
that are reproved are made manifest
by the light" ( EpheslauH v , 13) ) . Our
work Is to proclaim the true Gospel
to Incite , Christian people to Bible
uliul.v In the light of the Bible's own
testimony and without sectarian spec-
moles , which , In the pant , have HO dts-
torted the Word of God and Hot It
forth In false colors.
As Christian people come to see the
grossness of the errors by which thev
have been blinded , the light not only
has a blessed nnd transforming effect
upon their minds , but It Influences
their poekotbooks also. They no
longer appreciate the "business" metli-
ods of the Alliance nor the brand of
Gospel which It nets forth. The more
God's people come to a correct under
standing of the teachings of his Word ,
the smaller will be the rolled loan of
the Christian Alliance. That Is the
real secret of their opposition. I would
that It were true that they would never -
er take up another collection at Old i
Orchard ! The heathen have already '
hud mo much of ( heir Gospel of dam- '
nation. God's name has already been i
slandered and blasphemed enough by ) i
the false Gospel message that nine
1
hundred and ninety-nine out of every (
thousand of humanity ever born nre to
sull'er eternal roasting because of father - t
ther Adam's sin and the Ignorance , stu
pidity and meanness which have re-
suited.
Let the Truth Prevail.
If the Intelligent men connected with I
the Alliance really believe the horrl- '
hie nightmare of the Dark Ages which | ,
they arc proclaiming as the Gospel of 1
Christ , then , of course , they arc ex
cisable for preaching It. It Is not for ,
others to Judge of their honesty In this
1
matter , but It Is for others to decide
I
that they will no longer assist or cooperate - (
operate In the spread of such horrible 1
travesties upon the Divine character j
no longer assist financially or otherwise 1
in binding upon the poor heathen at
homo and abroad Increased ignorance J '
and superstition.
i
(
Everybody knows tlmt the word Cos-
pel signifies "good tidings. " And every- '
iody ought to know that , as Christian ,
people , we have for centuries misused
the word , applying It to the bad Ud-
Ing.s of great misery to all people , except - '
cept the mere handful of the elect. We '
dlil this because It was handed down I
to us by our forefathers. What Jesus 1
said to the Jews has been true of us j
ns Christians , "Ye do make void the
I
Law of God through your trndltlous. " 1
Thank God that , as In the natural 1
world he Is sending us now the electric i
light instead of the tallow candle , so I
through Bible study helps , concordances - i
ances , etc. . his Word ( the Lamp to his i
jple's footsteps until the day dawn ) , I
is now shilling brighter than ever be- /
fore.
Which is th True Gospel ?
Catholic nnd Protestant orthodoxy
hnve set forth for centuries two gen
eral views of the Gospel of Christ. To
whatever extent they noV disagree
with these they should publicly dis
own and abandon them. Until then 1 .
they nre besmirched with whatever
odium attaches.
The Catholic Gospel ( Good Tidings )
Is that all the heathen , all Catholics
and all Protestants , except a mere
handful , go to a Purgatory of awful
suffering , terrible anguish , lasting for
decades , centuries and thousands of
years , roasting , boiling , agonizing , and
thus purging away their sins and dross
that they may ultimately attain to
heavenly bliss for the remainder of
eternity. If that Is good tidings It can
be considered such only In contrast
with something more horrible. If that
be Imaginable.
Our Protestant Gospel.
Our Protestant Gospel , of which we
nre so proud that we want to thrust
It upon Jews and Catholics nnd heathens -
ens everywhere , wo should thoroughly
understand , enjoy and appreciate lie-
fore we waste good time and money
giving It to others. Hero It Is : Four
centuries ago our forefathers were not
Protestants but Catholics and believed
In Purgatory , etc. . as above. Then
what was known ns the Reformation
Movement set In. Catholics , Jews and
infidels will admit with Protestants
that a great blessing of enlightenment
and civilization has come to the world
In the train of the Reformation Movei
ment. But none of us Is prepared 'to
admit that the Reformers were per-
feet , nor their work perfect.
The Reformers criticized the Catho
lic teachings which they had formerly -
ly believed. They examined tbel.1
Bibles and found nothing there to the
effect that Mary was the mother of
God , nor that we should pray to saints ,
nor that we should use pictures or Im
ages In our worship , nor that their
sacrifice of Christ In the mass was
proper , nor that there was a Purga
tory anywhere. The Reformers threw
out these things as unserlpturnl. They
completely demolished Purgatory in
their minds. declaring that It had nev
er been anything more'than Imnglnn
lion Then came another thought , viz :
What must ve do with the thousands
of millions of mankind that wo ana
our fathers for centuries supposed
were in Purgatory roasting , stewing ,
tortured , but hoping for heaven. They
looked at one another In consternation.
They had hearts nnd sympathies and
felt that as it Inul devolved upon them
to smash Purgatory. It must also devolve
volvo upon them to re-loento all those
thousands of millions whom they had
on their hands. They felt the weight
of the resKinslblllty. | Could they do
maud of God that they should bo put
I Into tirnvon ? Surely not ! Surely omy
j the alntly few nre fit for heaven !
1 They , as well an nil. recognized that
fact. Then , with blank consternation.
they determined that they must crowd
the entire mans Into n hell of eternal
'
torture and shut the gates 11(1011 ( them
i forever nnd writ ? upon the gates.
"Who enters here abandons hope. "
Brother Calvin to the Rescue.
Taking from practically all humanIty -
' Ity all future hope made the Reformers
for the time heartsick. It would be
awful to do that for one person , but
, to thus "do" all humanity seemed ter
rible. And then to be obliged to label
that gospel "Good Tidings" must cer
tainly have been a trying experience
f I r the Reformers.
But Brother John Calvin helped
them | amazingly and took from them
their ( burden. lie told them that they
should j not worry , because It was all
God's < fault and not theirs. God had
( predestinated j them to that awful fu
ture ( long before he created man. Now
they j should merely try to think of
' themselves ( ns the "elect" and try to
forgot , everybody else. Of course , It
H ( ( mod horrible to charge nil these
things j against the God of all Justice.
,
Wisdom , Love and Power. But It was
the ( only solution which occurred to
them ( John Calvin's theories were
nfterunrds embodied In the "West
minster Confession of Faith. " And
.
that confession of faith became ( lie
foundation of nearly all Protestant
creeds { Brother John Wesley after-
ward objected , but admitted that only
the saintly went to heaven and everybody -
body else went to ctonml torment.
Ills protest was that. Instead of this
being by Divine foreordlnntlon and In
tention. ' It wns. on the contrary , be-
cause of Divine unwisdom and Incom-
potency. '
"Good Tidings of Great Joy. "
Surely no sane person can any longer
defend any of the above "Gospels" us
the true one. of which St. Paul was
not ashamed ! Surely St. Paul never
preached any of those Gospels , nor did
any of the Apostles nor does the Bible
support such theories , except by the
turning and twisting of language , nils-
translations of the original nnd misin
terpretations of some parables. The
plain statements of the Scriptures arc
nil directly to the opposite.
The Bible teaches that "the wages
of ' sin Is death , " not Purgatory nor
eternal ' torment. "The soul that sln-
neth ' , It shall die. " Adam , the perfect.
was placed on trial for life eternal or
death ' eternal. Ho sinned and the sentence -
tenco against him was. "Cursed Is the
earth ' for thy sake ; thorns and thistles
shall It bring forth unto theo. In the
]
sweat ' of thy face shall thou cat bread
until thou return unto the ground from
whence thou wast taken" ( Genesis 111 ,
17-10) ) . St. Paul declares the same :
"By one man's disobedience sin enter-
ed Into the world ; and thus death
passed upou all men , because all are
sinners" ( Romans v , 12) ) .
Looking about us wo find this true.
Everybody who Is not dead Is dying.
As the Bible says , wo arc living tin-
der n reign of Sin and Death. Nothing
that man can do can either eradicate
sin or lift us out of our dead and dy-
Ing condition. God alone can help us ;
Ho proposes to help us and the message -
sago respecting that help Is , In the
Scriptures , called the Gospel. Its an
nouncement by the nngels on the night
of Jesus' birth Is full , complete , sat
isfactory , viz : "Behold , we bring you
good tidings of great joy which shall
be unto all people ; for uuto you Is
born this day In the City of David n
Savior ( llfo-glver ) which is Christ the
Lord" ( Luke 11 , 10) ) .
Ah , now we have the Truth ! The
'
' penalty of sin Is death. And the "good
I tidings" Is that God has provided for
our recovery from sin and death. The
Savior gave bis life for the cancella
tion of our sin. for the satisfaction of
Justice , that in duo time Adam and all
his condemned and Imperfect race
I might be released from the condemna-
1 tion and be lifted out of the sin and
! death conditions which now prevail.
I That uplifting is Scripturally called
the resurrection of the dead. Hence
: the preaching of the early Church was.
j "Jo'sus ' and the Resurrection" the Re
deemer and his work.
Still More Good Tidings.
Tlie good tidings for the race In general -
oral Is that the Redeemer in God's due
time will licatiiic King of kings and
i ' > Lord of lords the Messiah of glory.
God's glorious Representative For
I a thousand years the regenerating
; , work for Adam's race will progress
( Matthew xix , 28 ; Acts 111. 111-23) ) .
God's Chosen People , Israel , will be
' the earthly agents of the heavenly and
invisible King of glory. By the close
of ids reign the whole earth will have
been transformed Into the Paradise of
God. "He will make the place of his
j i ; foot glorious. " And mankind will nil
i bo perfect again. In God's Imago.
j I There will be no more sin , no more
sickness , because all
i no more dying ,
j ! I the tilings of sin and dentil will have
passed away and he who sits upou
: the Throne will have renewed nil
j j i things ( Revelation xxl. T.l. All who.
after coming to n full knowledge of
the Truth of God's love and gracious
provision , still love sin nnd bate right
eousness , will be destroyed In the Second
end Death , from which there will be
no redemption , no resurrection , no re
covery : ns St Peter says. "They shall
nerlsh like brute beasts. "
Saved by a Dream.
'Hints conveyed by dreams nre oc
casionally worth heeding , " says the
London Chronicle. "The late Lord
Dufferin when In Paris dreamed that
. ho was In a hoarse on the way to the
cemetery. A few days later , ns he was

AN IVANHOE TEST FOR LOVE.
!
Miss Ellenora Sears Requires Valorous '
Deeds of Two Suitors. I
Newport , Sept. 17. Miss Ellenoru i
II. Soars , the society girl , who plays i
polo , golf and tennis , rides to the |
hounds , shoots , hunts , boxes , fences I
nnd goes In for divers and sundry oth
er sports with n vim nnd dash that |
have won her a world-wide reputation ,
has two rivals for her hand , Paul J. '
Rnlnoy. the arctic hunter , and Harold
S. Vanderbllt , the son of Mrs. O. H. |
P. Belmont. It wns rumored todny
Unit she had made her choice , but slio
declined absolutely to discuss the mat
ter.
ter.Tno
Tno rlvarly between the shooter of
polar bears and young Mr. Vnndorbllt
Is mild to have renchod a stage where
they nro going to bo put to the test i
not unlike those to which the ladles |
fair of the middle ages subjected their
knights. In other words , Miss Sears
Is going to make the lucky suitor go
some to got her.
Rninoy she sent almost to the north
polo to get her some boar pelts. Before -
fore ho sailed toward the top of the
world early In Juno It wns rumored
he had begged the young lady to glvo
him n letter to bo opened In the Ice
Holds In which ho would bo Informed
how he stood In her heart. Ho wanted
n "yes" or "no" In this letter , nnd ho
got a letter , but , Judging from the at
titude of the much-sought-after maid
upon his return , it contained neither a
"yes" nor a "no , " but probably told
him that after ho got the bear pelts
she wanted he would , have to go a bit
more.
And while young Rnlney wns nwnyl |
amid the aurora boronllscs. H. S. Van
derbllt has been having his turn atone
going some and by rapid strides Is be-
coming an nthloto like unto which no
one has yet appeared in his distin
guished family. To follow the footsteps -
stops of the light of his life , Harold
has had to play tennis in the broiling
sun , golf till the solos of his foot
cracked and tryout an occasional
bucking broncho when he would lave
much preferred reclining upon n silk
en divan.
Miss Sears Is not the sort of girl
who cares to sit out dnnces or loll
back In the cushions of a Victoria
while her swains whisper sweet little
things in her ears. Said suitors can
whisper their sweet things ns they
take a 5-barred fence or a water Jump
with her. If they are skillful enough ,
or they may murmur their love plaints
over n tennis not If they can get the
ball over nnd past Ellcnora's terrific
back and forehand. Also it was al
lowed to Mr. Rnlney , who lins been a
guest here to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Hnrrlman , to relate his thrilling tnles
of arctic hunting at some length , and ,
If he were shrewd enough , worm In a
word or so of love between killings.
Although a Dostoninn , Miss Sears
does not go in heavily for Emersonian
culture. In fact , she is all for out
door life and is regarded by many as
the most robust girl of her genera- °
tion. She Is an expert swimmer nnd
what she doesn't know about horse-
Pesh has yet to be learned. She is a
leader in almost every contest of skill
and strength that Interests the ath
letically Inclined. She can run like a
leer nnd outwalk all the Westons and
O'Learys , her friends declare , and Is
low turning her attention to aviation.
Miss Senrs plays polo In trousers
nnd walks In a divided skirt. She has
aken Harold Sterling Vanderbllt out
on some walks lately that have brought
him home In a state of weary wilt ,
while his adored looked fresh as a
lalsy. Whether or not Miss Sears has
boxed with Harold has not yet come
forth from the buzz-centers of gos
sip , but there arc other young men
with whom the young lady has crossed
mitts who come off with the small
end of the encounter. The young lady
is Just as expert In the "gym" as
she is in the field , and has proved her
prowess nt many private exhibitions.
FEDERAL OR STATE CONTROL ?
A Question That Looms Up Before the
Irrigation Congress. .
. . What is to 'l '
Pueblo. Colo. , Sept. 17.
be done with the "Roosevelt Policies ? "
This is one of the questions which
looms large before the delegates to
the eighteenth national Irrigation congress -
gross at Puobio September 2G-30.
" 'Conservation versus conservation
promises to become one of the major
questions before the Irrigation congress
gross , " states Arthur Hooker , secre
tary of the congress. "There nre con
servntionlsts and conservationists. At
the coining meeting the lines promise
to bo sharply drawn between those
who favor federal control of natura
resources and those who advocate the
state control and supervision of their
development or prefer to leave tills
to private enterprise , "
At the last meeting of the house o
governors , Governor Shafroth of Colorado
rado ably supported the states' rights
doctrine , and this has many support
ers In Colorado nnd the other public
land stntes.
Judge Frank II. Short of California
will speak on "Water Equities and the
Control of the States Over Irrigation
Conservation and the Development o
Their Resources , " nnd there will not
lack supporters on cither side.
FAMILY COURT MAKES GOOD.
In New York 45 Erring Husbands Are
Brought to Time ,
New York , Sept. 17. The Domestic
Relations court , of Manhattan , which
opened last Thursday , produced good
reasons for Its creation In the first
week of Its existence. Magistrate
Cornell , the complaint clerk , Miss Me-
Qunde , probation ofllcer , nnd Albert
Creelmnn , clerk , have had their Viands
full taking care of wives who have
been dcsorted by their husbands.
There were only live working days
In the first week of the court , and In
that time forty-five recreant husbands
were arraigned on a charge of doscr- '
It tion. ! Eight were discharged , four
were put under bonds to pay their
wives a stated amount weekly and
thirty-three were pnrolcd on their
promise to do something for their fam
ilies.
The experience of the first week
shows ' that about fifty deserted wives
or wives who claim to huvo been doi
scrtod , npply for relief every day. In
the first five working dnys of the court
'ninety-live miminonscs. nnd thirty war
rants were Issued.
It has been found that many wives
do not serve the HUintnonses which
they tnko away from the court. Evi
dently the Information convoyed to a
forgetful husband that his wife hits ap
plied for n summons Is sulllclent to
bring htm to time.
Every effort Is made by the attaches
of | the court and the Judge to bring
about ] an amicable adjustment of the
family dllllcultlos , without recourse to
the extreme measures of the law.
Yesterday , for instance , forty-eight
women applied for warrants for their
\iusbands. \ After they had told their
stories thirty were persuaded to go
home and make another attempt to
get along.
WHY GIRLS GO ON THE STAGE.
Sextet Members In "Our Miss Glbbs"
Admit They Seek Husbands.
New York , Sept. 17. It's a queer
sort of bridesmaid who wouldn't ra
ther 1)0 ) the bride and the sextet of
"Our Miss Glbbs" Is no exception to
tills rule. These six pretty girls nro
playing the part of bridesmaids on
the ] stage because they want to play
the { part of brides in real life. It's not
the glamor of the footlights or the call
of the wild that has attracted them
to Broadway , but the hope of dancing
their way into the heart of some nice
man with the price of a wedding ring
and perhaps a million or so to spare.
It wns Freda Braun , the youngest
of the six , who first confessed to han
kering after domestic joys.
"Why I came on the stage just to
got married , " she said last evening
as they gathered In the dressing
rooms at the Knickerbocker after the
play.
"Oh , " exclaimed the others In horri
fied chorus.
"I bet the rest of you came on for
exactly the same reason. A girl en
ters the profession cither to become
famous or to get married to a better
man than would have come her way
if she'd never gone on. Now Isn't
that true ? "
The others nodded their heads In
reluctant agreement.
"And do any of you think that you
are going to be famous ? " there wns
not a little sarcasm In her voice , as
she put the question.
Nobody ventured to say that she
did.
"Then there you are , " said the little
cross-examiner with a wave of her
hand.
"You're right , Freda , " admitted one
of the other girls. "We're all looking
for husbands. Any good looking girl
on the'stage can find one in less than
a year if she wants to. There's an
air of romance about the stage that
attracts the men. You read about
princes and dukes who have fallen in
love with chorus girls and it's a com
mon complaint with millionaires. Per
haps one of us will have the same
good luck. "
NOW LET THE SPIRITS TALK.
New York , Sept. 17. The fact that
several spiritualistic meetings recent
ly asserted that they have received
messages from the late Prof. William
James of Harvard , one of whose fav
orite themes was the possibility of
communication between the dead and
the living , has led the Metropolitan
Psychical society here to propose a
test as to the validity of all such as
sertions.
The society offers a prize of $1,000
to any medium who will obtain from
the spirit of Professor James , when
it speaks through them , a statement
of the contents of a certain letter sent
by him a few days before his death
to W. S. Davis , secretary of the so
ciety.
Mr. Davis lins the letter from Professor
fossor James in his safe. No one else
j
has sfioii It or has received from bin
any Inkling of its contents.
The president of the psychical society
cioty , in making public the prize offer ,
makes the following comment on the
alleged "messages" thus far put for
ward by various mediums :
"mo great nifiicuHy with nil the
messages which have so far been pub
lished is that they are vague , indefi
nite nnd trashy and could have been
concocted by anyone. Such alleged
communications have Invariably fol
lowed the demise of all persons of
note In the spiritualistic field , but the
very simple test heroin proposed
would considerably narrow the ques
tion down , nnd should easily be within
the capability of any person actually
In communication with the spirit of
the late Professor James.
"We recognize In Professor James a
great and open-hearted Investigator.
We have striven to maintain his same
spirit of open mlndedness toward all
assertions and have endeavored to
give them a full hearing and fair try
ing-out. That wo have never encount
ered any phenomena of a superhuman
kind does not wholly discharge us
from looking Into any fresh assertions
advanced to the existence of such. "
WHEN THE CAR GOES BAD.
Women Passengers Need Not Waste
the Golden Moments.
New York , Sept. 17. It has remain
ed for the feminine motorists to dis
cover n use for the time hitherto
wasted when the motor refuses to go.
While gilding through the countryside
Is an alluring pastime sitting by the
wnyside when the cnr breaks down
nnd spending the shining minutes or
hours watching the masculine boots
which protrude from beneath a dis
abled machine , does not appeal to the
average woman.
No longer , however , Is this neces
sary If women motorists take the sug
gestion of n certain Labor day party.
[ I A largo touring car found Itself stall-
i od on the main road north of Stum-
j ford. Conn. The men piled out ns
i usual , nnd the women followed. But
the latter retreated to the shade of
the nearest tree and , Heating them
selves on the turf , drew forth from
their capacious dusters two largo
silk bags. Those contained , IIH passersby
orsby discovered , scissors , thread
needle , thimble , embroidery silk nnd
pieces of the owner's latest em-
broldory.
Thus the women sat working roses
nnd violets In * the shade while just
: nil of earshot the men continued link-
ring at the Internal workings of the
notor car.
LIFE TOO EASY FOR WOMEN.
Lack of Housework Causes Gambling
nnd Extravagance.
New York. Sept. 17. Lack of the
lousowork and small apartments nro
certainly Increasing gambling , oxtrav-
igancu nnd drinking among the Now
York women. "
This statement was made by Dr.
Anna Wells Bloomer , a woman physi
cian , who has boon practicing In this
Ity for ten years. In her work she
ins had nmplo opportunity for obsoi v-
ng women In their homos. The decor -
or Is n robust , energetic woman with
i strong taste for domesticity and
mmcmnklng.
"It is absolutely shocking , " she con-
Inued , "to observe the change In the
ionic conditions in New York In the
ast eight years. And not only In the
mines themselves , but In the women
ivho live in them , In their tastes , oc-
upation nnd manner.
"Well , the change began with the
dvont of the npartmont hotel , and
ins continued with the 3-rooni apart-
nont and kitchenette. Tills small
ipartment living is productive of very
nuch evil , both mental and physical ,
imong the men and women , but chief-
y with the women has the greater
unount of havoc been wrought.
"When a woman ceases to love her
ionic she becomes restless and this
s the condition that Is growing every
[ lay among all classes In this city ,
loiisekooplng Is being made too easy
o the woman who has not other oc
cupation. Slio has nil sorts of con-
enlencos. I lor mechanical swooping
apparatus , her dishwashing machine
ind a hundred other arrangements all
make housework n more thing , and
ire creating indolence to a dangerous
degree.
"New York never was what might
to termed a home city , but now it is
.ess so than ever. Women have be
come pleasure mad.
"Whoevor hears of n woman doing
nor own baking now , making her own
cakes , putting up preserves ? She can't ;
she doesn't know how. Besides , it
would take too much time from her
> ridge and other such amusements.
"One of the great evils in a physical
way resulting from such living is
with the digestive organs induced by
ligh living in restaurants , alcoholic
stimulantlon , lack of rest and Impro
per breakfasts.
'Such living not only brings about
troubles of this character , but it is
one of the prime promoters of bad
habits. Few people of the present
time sit down to a restaurant table
for dinner or luncheon without order
ing their cocktail and wine.
"The great drinking rn public among
woman has come , I think , to a great
extent from this dining out. They
not only get in Uie habit of drinking
with their dinner , but frequently dur
ing the day drink in their homes. Tills
is resulting In bad nerves , Irritability
and discontent. This kind of living
Is promoting gambling among women.
"Daughters of these mothers are
learning the same mode of life. They
have their card parties of an afternoon
rrs
noon , their late suppers nnd dinners
out , their automobile rides , their
gowns and money to spend as they
please.
"There Is another very serious side
to tills question the bank account. It
makes a man who works for a salary
ryK
keep up an establishment far beyond
his means. Restaurants cost five
times as much ns a private table and \
saving money is impossible. As a
result you have a worried , nervous in
dividual who can think of nothing but
making money and talk of nothing
else. "
PARIS FLOOD FUND STOLEN ?
Few Sufferers Have Seen Any of the
Relief Money.
.
Paris , Sept. 17. Residents of Paris
suburbs who suffered loss from ho
floods of the Seine and the Marne ist
winter have a genuine grievance
Though many thousands of dollnrs intended
inho
tended to relieve the misery of UK
sufferers nnd assist them In the worl-
of rehabilitation pouring into Paris , r
very small proportion It appears , evei
found its way to persons In ronl need
To this day the work of distributer
has never boon seriously undertaken
When the relief money first nppearei
sufferers were promised tlmt loans
would bo granted them. Months have
passed and those have not boon ar
ranged. Property owners who cs
od losses wore assurred , too , that f
portion of their taxes would be remit
ted but the amounts have proved absolutely
lutely out of proportion to the nocos
slty of the case in many Instances.
Residents of Asnleres , a suburb in
which the Buffering caused by hoist
Hoods was very great , recently held i
mass mooting and protested agalnsl
the action of the government. Thoj
planned to march Into Paris nnd holt > ;
n monster 'demonstration in the streets )
of the city , but Louis Lepine , the re
feet of polite , hoard of the plan nd
prevented Its ( OiiKiimiiintlon.
At the time of the Hoods some ol
the conporvntlvo business men of ur
is questioned the wisdom of ns
outtddo aid. But when the Solno and
the Mnrno overflowed not only did oth
er departments of Franco mmd money
Intended for the relief of the Htrlclum
. district , but nearly every other civil
- ized nation sent large minis to Franco.
- The United States contributed moro
generously than any other country.
Certain newspapers had grossly exag
gerated conditions hero and the gener
al opinion of the disaster , as entertain
ed In America , was out of all proportions
tions to the facts In the case.
-
, So the money rolled In and the gov
ernment accepted It without betray
- ing the slightest misgivings or qualm
of conscience. But the men for whom
It wns Intended say now tlmt they
have never seen It. An olllclal InvostJ-
- gntlon to determine what become of
the funds Is likely to bo ordered soon.
