to rtia Individual elite woman. It was a I

for tha pleasure of at least two poor chiid 1
tea during tba summer, not only to afford '
tha mesne of a pleasant excursion Into

of the school will he largely governed by
tha kinds of employment it ia possible for
a girl to get in this city. In other words,
tha alia of the ' institution is to ! aupply

In making this new riepartuie the de

experiment begun In 1MM under the name

earn a living became very apparent during

the plana of tha persona who originally
started It as a phllanthropio Institution.
Accordingly, the matter of city control and
supervision, making the Institution a co
ordinate part of tha pithlie school system,
wss brought before the proper suthorltles.
Tha movement owes Its exlatenca to the

A wealthy New York philanthropist who
believes in Hie Importance of flowers is

flowers should not ba luxuries enjoyed by
tha rich alone, but should be put within
tha reach of all. Ba looks forward to es
tabHahlng a. market where tha poor child
may buy rarely cultivated flower for I or
S cants, or a wild flower for t penny. "At
preaent parsons able to buy flo'Ters from
high priced dealers can obtain all they da-,

possible for a poor child to have tha seme
opportunity, for flowers are one of the
eoeasltlea of Ufa and should ba brought
within reach of tha liooreat"
That there is a general appreciation and
love of flowers una ot Omaha, s moat at

hospitals with their gifts of flowers they
aea many faces, brighten at tba sight of
tha flowers. This philanthropy, while it by

Tha New York Keiration of Women's
Cluhs Is to substitute direct nomination for
lha erstwhile custom ot committee nomina
tion of officers. The new plan will he
put Into practice at the election In Febru
ary, t-peaking of the plan, the president,
Mrs. Bella de Kevlra, says: "By nominating
from the floor we will get the direct nom
ination from members and all tha women
will have a chance. When we created the
new by-laws, whhh will go Into effect at
thla election, we decided that members
aottld not be eligible for two or three suc
cessive terms, and thai there were many
women who had tha spirit and character
of leaders, yet never hsd an opportunity
la show their friends their capauilitiea wbo
would also have a chance.
"This year the whole campaign will be
conducted on entirely new and different I
lines. Wa hope the men will watch us and
derive some benefit from our experiment. 1
Hitherto the nominations have been loo
limited. The names of two women have
been proposed and all the rest of the names
eliminated.
"Under the new law we will have as
many as twenty or een fifty names on a
ballot."
Mre. O. H. P. Belmont. In discussing wo

"Our methods are peaceful, because there

are given in I tie evening, and in the after
noon there are suffrage classes open to all.
'In America we are more fearful of of

HY l.AlY MAKV MAN W A Kl Nil.
LONDON, July 23. -(Special Dispatch
The Bee.) One i.f the most remarkable
women In Kngland today la hardly known
in America at all. and. as a matter
of fact, she 1s not so widely known
In Kngland. as many wotnen are entitled
to fame In a vastly less degree. She la the
countess of Carlisle, who presided at the
recent American meeting of the Women's
Liberal federation. Lady Carlisle la one ot
the most accomplished orators of tha day,
and Is, moreover, an extremely skilful and
practical farmer.
It la not so many yeara ago since she
took into her bauds several thousand acres
of land on the Castle Howard eotate, which
had remained uncultivated from time Im
memorial. By her orders aleam cultivation
was Introdtioed. the soil was limed and
artificially manured, with the result that it
now produces magnificent crops.
She personally superintends everything,
and when aha la in residence at Castle
Howard It ia by no means an unusual eight
to see tha hall and ataircaae lined with
pax pie waiting an audience with her In her
buslueas room. No trifle Is ever too In
significant for her attention. It often
happena that aha takea her place in the
pulpit, and In the private chapel artaehed
to Naworth castle, the family's seat In
Cumberland, site haa been known to con
duct the whole service, sermon and all.
But temperance Is one ot the. favorite
themes of the countess, and In this, aa in
other matters, ah has alwaya backed up
her opinions by action. In her opinion, tha
excessive number ot publio houses is the
greatest obstacle to temperance reform, and
as evidence of her practical belief In this,
has herself closed many puhllo houses, re
opening them as coffee palaces.
Her ladyship haa always beer, a strong
supporter of the womens movement. She
has carried her convictions, that women
should fi ot be supplanted by men in work
which they can properly perform, to the
length of employing only female aervanla
In her establishments. The visitors will
look in vain for a chef In her kitchen, a
butler in her pantry or a footman In her
ball.
Miss HaJdawe's Activities,
Miss Haldane's Interest and vigorous
speech was one ot the surprises In con
nection with the Woman's Conference.
There are few woman in thla country who
are better qualified to apeak on military
affairs than the sister of the secretary of
war.
During the pariamentary seaaion. Miss
Haldan is her brother's right hand. Her
work In the formation of the territorial
foroe can never be over-estimated, especi
ally In the lowlands of Scotland, where
she made a campaign lasting several
weeks, often speaking three and four times
a day on behalf of the movement. She
also played a large part In the founding ot
the Territorial Nursing service for London,
Besides being an authoress of distinction.
Miss Haldana Is an exquisite needlewoman,
and has reproduced some remarkably beau
tiful specimens of embroidery.
Spinning Is another of her accomplish
ments. She possegsea her own handloom,
and Is responsible for a number of designs
of Scotch tweeds, which, in the woollen
business have become known as the Hal-
ne patterns." At the splnnlng-wheel

can also claim couainsliip with the grand
Duchess Serge of Kuxsta, all of whom were
daughters of hia aunt, the late Pilncess
Alice. Through hia mother, Vus-n Alex
andra, King George la cousin to innum
erable Danish royalties, and through his
Hanoverian asoestry he is related to tho
duke of Cumberland, the grand duchess of
Mecklenburg-Strelits, and the crown prlncu
of Montenegro. But his relationship must
be as andleas as varied, when one conaideis
that the late yiiwn Victoria, his f annum
grandmother, left no fewer than eiulity
eight children, grand-children and great
grandchildren. Making allowances for the
children of remote royalty who have passed
Into mediocrity, it Is estimated that King
Gaorge must have at least' 40.000 living
