ad "mass meeting" ia which resolu
tioM bearing upon the work of the
village improvement society -were intra
duced by Mre. A. W. Field as follows:
"Whereas, The sidewalks of the city
of Liecoln are unhealthy, unsafe, irregu
lar, dirty and inartistic; and
"Whereas, Scientists and physicians
are agreed that decaying wood furnishes
unlimited accomodations for all kinds
and conditions of bacteria; and
"Whereas, Sweeping skirts in walk
iag.coitumes are a standing menace to
the health and comfort of their wearer;

"Resolved, That this department de
mand: First, that the sidewalks of the
city of Lincoln to be hereafter construct
ed or repaired of hard pieseed brick or
atone and laid at the established grade
aad at the proper distance from the lot
liae; and secondly, that all expectoration
upon the sidewalks be prohibited by
law as well as all other accumulations of
dirt or refuse of any kind. Be it further
"Resolved, That the members of this
department do hereby pledge themselves
to wear no walking costumes which shall
be law jhan two or more than six inches
from the ground."
Miss Stull took the negative side in a
moat amusing speech. An amendment
which the club enjojed immensely pro-
tainment of the, kind she had witnessed,
and her knowledge is not Blight.
The speeches with a few exceptions
were delivered luently, and mostly with
out notes.
Many Nebraska clubs belonging to the
national federations were represented by
their presidents; among them, those of
Beatrice, Stromsbutg, Plattsmouth and
Lincoln.
An Omaha paper kindly awards the
palm for brilliaLcy to Lincoln: "Mrs.
Sawyer, according to opinions expressed,
was the queen of the occasion. Her re
marks were pointed, brilliant and elo
quent."
But Lincoln would be equally generous
and according to a local authority, (if
comparisons must be made,) the toast of
Mrs. C. C. Belden excelled all others as a
genuine bit of literary art of dainty and
symmetrical construction.
In her toast, "The Genus Homo," she
began with the one "nearest and dear
est," the husband. From that she pass
ed to the baby boy in the cradle, follow
ing his career through the age of kilts,
picturing his advance upward to man
hood and marriage, where she ended as
she began with the "nearest and dear

great ability and public experience lacks

The speeches were supposed to be
limited to one minute, and if some ran
over the time, no oue regretted it.
Amoeg the members of the department
who took part in the discussions were:
Misses Stall, Stevens and Bracken; Mes
dames Marshland, Milton Scott, Cooke,
MeCleanaa, Plummer and Field.
A reception will be given ior the club
between the eleventh and twent-fifth of
April, and the two Wesleyan societies,
the Woman's club and Sorosts will be
invited guesta.
It was decided to change the method
of aemioattng officers. Instead of de
pending upon a committee appointed
for that purpose, names will be proposed
at the-next meeting directly from the
fleer, and will be voted upon two weeks
later.
It is hoped by adopting a plan which
baa proved succeat f ul in other large or
gaajsatioaa to learn the real wish of the
dab in respect to the future officers.
The next meeting will be in charge of
the department of current events.

speech. Perhaps at the beginning of
her career, the novelty of her official
topic proved more inspiring. Two years
of constant speeches on the General
Federation, great as its usefulness may
be, can leave little new to be said.
Mrs. Henrotin also addressed the Oma
ha club at its open meeting on Tuesday
evening at the Congregationalist church
when five hundred members and friends
were present She spoke again at the
regular meeting on Monday.
The city improvement society met on
Wednesday morning in the parlors of the
Union Commerci 1 club, the president,
MnuLangworthy Taylor presiding.
Mrs. Gertrude Dean, chairman of the
patrons' association in the Bancroft
school district, was made chairman of
the committee on school grounds for
that school. Arrangements are being
made for planting of trees, and the chair
men of different committee on school
grounds reported gratifying progress in
carrying out the plans previously
adopted.
Mrs. Welch, chairman of the committee
on street cieaning reported that the re
fuse cans were in process of evolution
and there were good reasons for believ
ing that the result would be models of
neatness and utility. Mrs. Welch said
that all the city officers with whom she
bad conferred were courteous, and will
ing, so far as they were able, to help the
association in its efforts at city cleaning.
In particular street commissioner Lind

aid given him in his efforts last year to
keep the city clean. The city council '
