I'Al Pguglae Bt, WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY The following arrived too late to be In cluded In the symposium In last Sunday's Bee of the legislative Work being under taken by the various stats federations In tho genersl federation, tbe information having been aupplled by the corresponding aecretarles of the various federations In response to an Inquiry by the editor cf the Woman's club department of The Bee: The Massachusetts federation. Including several thousand women, has at present before the legislature of that slate a bill relative to the care of truant girlB, with good prospects of Its becoming a law. It Is also Interested In a bill to protect park ways, public pleasure grounds end boule vards from disfiguring advertisements and another for further prevention of cruelty to animals. The legislature Is still In ses sion and the bill still to be acted upon, but their prospects are all good. Last year the federation succeeded In securing the passage of a bill granting equal guardian ship of children to both parents. This bill in one shape or another had been before the legislature for twenty years, bscked by the New England Suffrage association. All of the clubs are now actively Interested In signing petitions and like efforts In be half of educational legislation and that which pertains to Women and children. The Illinois federation Includes 233 clubs that are Interested this year In pushing an admirable child labor bill. In which they have the support of some of tbe best citizens and strongest organizations ot the slate. It Is understood, however, that this bill will meet strenuous opposition In ths senate and Its passage Is doubtful. They have also an amendment to the compulsory education law, a bill for licensing trained nurses and to regulate the practicing of trained nursing in the state, an act to en title tax-paying women to vote for cer tain officers and to participate and vote In certain meetings and on certain mat ters, and a bill providing for a colony for epileptics. The Colorado federation has prepared one bill and 'endorsed nine others this year, and while none of them have as yet passed both houses, there is reason to be lieve that seven of them will become laws. Tho federation's bill provides for the crea tion of a traveling library commission and the bills that it has endorsed are: A community property bill; a bill requiring registration at school eloctlons; a pre cinct option bill; a primary election or direct nomination law; an Improved and more atrlngent child labor law; the Initia tive and referendum; a bill pensioning teachers after twenty-five years of service; a series of rape bills that protect women of all ages and Inflict very severe penal ties; a bill forbidding the use of carriages at elections. The federation Includes 5,000 women. The Vermont federation Includes 1,456 women, who this year presented to the state legislature a bill asking that a woman be placed on the examining board of pub lic Institutions, such as asylums for the insane, homes of correction, prisons and Institutions where women are confined. Tue bill failed to pass. Tbe Arkansas federation has four billi before the legislature of that state, one providing for a free library commission and providing one-fourth of 1 mill of tho regu lar 6-mlll tax for library purposes; a bill providing for a reform school; increased revenue for public schools; to provide for the Introduction of the kindergarten and manual training Into the schools; a bill providing for the eligibility of women on school boards. The fourth bill haa met with so much opposition that it Is feared by the legislative committee that It will prejudice the legislators against the others. The year book for 1902-1903 of the Ne braska Federation of Women's clubs Is out this week, and the reports between Its neat gray, blue-lettered covers are Indeed a credit to the women of the state. Ac cording to the corresponding secretary's report there are now 103 clubs and 8,880 members in the federation; fifteen clubs have come In during the year; twenty-five cluba hold Individual membership In the general federation; number of officers and delegates present at the last annual meet ing, 128; number of visitors from othr towns, 100; number of clubs working for or assisting In the maintenance ot libraries 36 ;N number of clubs engaged In educational, philanthropic or other outside work, 04; number of clubs observing Federation day, 21; number of clubs holding, social meet ings, 70. Among the clubs endeavoring to secure libraries for their respective towm are: OBceola, Wakefield, Valley and Douglaa, that have raised the $40 necessary to se cure tht traveling library for five years, and many other clubs are working to the same end. Seward Woman's club, Falrbury Woman's club, the Tecumseh clubs, Stanton clubs, Syracuse Woman's club and Falls City Soroels are giving financial aid to the libraries In which they were wholly or largely Instrumental In securing. Self Cul ture club of St. Paul purchased and do nated books to its public school library Sutton Woman's club has been the meane of establishing a library at that place; Ts kamah Woman's club haa a library of 100 books; Keystone Country club has started a library with $100, and the Omaha New Book Review club haa sent a box of books to the western part of the state; Lincoln Woman's club and Avon club of York have each furnished the parlors of tbelr new library buildings and In consideration of the same have been granted tbe use of these rooms for club purposes. Ths Syra cuse Woman's club and the Falls City clubs have extended tbelr efforts toward beautifying their public libraries, the tor mer having been able through the gen erosity of Its Individual members and busi ness men to donate $300 for this purpose; the latter donating a fine library table, clock, pictures and various Improvements. project of the Young Women's Chrstlan association. Beatrice Is enthusiastic, over an art ex- hlblt and sale of Copley prints; York has contributed to the decoration et Its high school; Falls City Soros Is has arranged for a lecture course, having rslsed $500 for that purpose; the Omaha Woman's club had a series of lectures, free to all club womeu; It has donated four classic busts and two figures from Michael Angelo, which have been placed In the halls of the Omaha High achool. In addition to all the local work, tbe clubs ot the slate have contributed $153.50 within the year for the education of a colored kindergarten teacher In the south. All of this work has been done outside of the regular work of the clubs. The letter from the president, Mrs. W. E. Page of Syracuse, Is replete with help ful suggestions for the strengthening and extension of club work. She urges that each club make room In Its program for the open consideration of the federation year book, which has been prepared at tho expenditure of much effort and lnchdes the best thought on club work ol the va rious officers of the federation. "To many women," she says, "It Is the only tangible link between the federation and them selves, as attendance at tbe annual meet ing Is possible to only a minority of club women. Cannot the book be put lnio cir culation in alpbabetical order? Each de partment leader in the larger clubs can easily reach her members." The work of the various standing committees Is re ferred to and attention oalled to the various legislative measures now receiving the sup port of the club women. Another extract says: "The business of the federation In all Its branches would be facilitated by greater promptness and more business like methods on the part of club women. Will all seek to remedy this defect?" BID FAREWELL TO PETERS Employes of Betnls Omaha Basr Com pany Present Him with Token of Friendship. Manager M. C.

The fob and locket are of Roman gold, the latter being set on one face with a large diamond and bearing the Maeonlo symbols on the obverse with "Presented by the employes of the Betnls Omaha Bag com pany, March 14, 1903," engraved around the edge. In speaking of the affair afterwards one of those present said: "I believe that Mr. Peters Is about tbe best man In Omaha, and there Is not a man in the house who does not esteem him. He has always re warded good work with better pay, and has always had our interests In view. We are sorry Indeed to have hlrt go."
