WOMAN II CLUB AND CHARITY
The announcement that the club women'
work for the educational exhibit Is to be
passed upon by Mr. Harbour and not
committee appointed by the federation
meets genera! satisfaction among most
likely contributors and the women who are
the bent qualified to contribute. As It Is
Impossible for any one to be sufficiently
familiar with the women of the state to
select Just those who are most capable of
Judging such work whether It be for exhi
bition or reciprocity purposes, many of the
most able wmion have been reluctant to
submit their efforts to the criticism of
those whom they considered Inconsistent
and. when the present exhibit work was
called for the same reeling was encoun
tered. It Is well known that while some women
sre successful agitators others are usually
(he successful educators and the women
who are strongest In the club extension or
philanthropy rarely are the leaders of the
more esthetic side of club work and there
wa naturally a lelre to know the per
aonnel of the sifting committee. Now that
thtft point has been settled there Is littl';
doubt that the women will take pride In
contributing" the best that the state can
produce.
The leaders of the various departments
and the chairman of the library and edu
cational committees of the Omaha Woman'
club have been appointed the committee to
encourage and collect the contributions of
the club to the educational exhibit at the
Bt. Louis exposition. The committee in
eludes fifteen members besides Its chair
mar, Mrs. Cole, president of the club, and
while It I perhaps large it embraces' all of
the Interest of the club In the women
chosen by the club to lead those Interests.
The committee will hold Its first meeting
today at the public library, where it meet
with Mr. Barbour of the Btate university.
superintendent of the educational exhibit
Alice Btone Blackwel', writing to the
Woman's Journal, says: "After our return
to New Tork It was my pleasant duty, as
recording secretary, to Join with Mrs. Catt
in giving a formal receipt to Dr. Mary H.
Hussey for her mother' bequest of 110,000
to the National American Woman Suffrage
association It was dune at Mrs. Catt's
office. In Park Row building, before Miss
Steele, a woman commissioner of deeds for
New Jersey. In strong and most amiable
contract to some heirs who try to break
wills leaving money to equal rights, Dr.
Hussey and her brother voluntarily paid,
out of their own pockets, the inheritance
tax (amounting to nearly trfln) upon their
mother' bequest Innler that her wish to
give a clear tlO.Ono to the Suffrage asso

Knowing the beneficial influences your

benefits that are derived from auch or
ganisations. They have Identified them
selves with numerous public Interests to
our educational, moral and social advan
tage. In my humble opinion, the home Is
materially benefited by the enlightening
Influence of their Intellectual union. Their
I ower for good cannot but be enhanced
y affllllHtlon with the various clubs
throughout the suite and we proy that
your meeting in Colorado Springs may be
all that earnest workers and honest hearts
can desire. As an endorsement of your
splendid work, our people desire -that you
grant us the opportunity of welcoming you
to our city. . , .

that the down town churches had for four
years held union services on the day, and
that these services had been held In his

Dr. Smith told of the things for which the
Ame-lcan jeoplo should be thankful, how
the country was rising to the first rank In

The bishop said that the day was a proper
occasion to consider the difficulties which
modern civilization had placed In the way
of our dally lives. He pointed to the hand
writing on the wall and spoke strongly
against the modern extravagance of Ml
classes, which could lead, because the old
simplicity has been abandoned, to no good

troubles of capital and labor and other

Yesterday tire and it awful conso

necessity of providing adequate upparatus
for the fire department at the earliest pos
sible moment. He will call a special meet
ing of the council for 11 o'clock Friday
morning, for the purpose of taking con
certed action in the purchase of a new
engine for the house being erected nt
Eleventh and Jackson streets, a new hook
ond ladder truck and several Improved
hose wagons. Should he fall to receive
the- support of the council, he says he
will order the apparatus on his own re
sponsibility, believing fully that the busi

'If wo had the improved hose wagons

would not have been killed," said Mayor
Moores. "They would not have been called
upon to enter the building at a'.l, as these
wagons are provided with short standplues.
They may be driven to a door or window
and a powerful stream turned directly In
the building, relieving the tire fighter from
entering.
"But this la not all. This Hie, with Its
tremendous losses of life and property,

cause part of the council wanted a test
between the Nott engine and the Metro

deal up until an official paper was se
cured. "I hold that when It come to life and
property we cannot afford to experiment
with an engine that ha not established It

need another engine soon, and If by that
time the Nott people have worked up a

quiring one of their engine. , But at tho
