30 THE COURIER. local designation of Branrh to its real title, the scheme of the the dub has been national, and a convention, which will be held in the fall under its auspices, is for the purpose of perfecting apational organization and electing national offi cers. To this convention delegates from all similar women's clubs will be invited, and the national federation of such is a foregone conclusion. The parent chapter at Chicago counts now over three hundred members. Its work is done under the four departments ot Philanthropy, Art and Literature, Education and Home and its Needs. In every department fine and telling work has been accomplished. The league sup ports three day nurseries and kinder gartens, one on each side ot the triple sided city. In connection with the nurseries are sewing classes, kitchen gardens and mothers' clubs, all flourish ing and productive of great benefit to the communities in which they are lo cated. Uuder the department of Educa tion there have been, at its monthly meetings during the current year, dis cussions and addressee on such subjects as "What the kindergarten does for mo ther and child," "The home and the school,'' "The university idea in Ancient Greece," "Cardinal Newman's idea of a university," with other kindred topics. A French, a Jewish, an English and an American day have been illustrated re spectfully by papers on Madame de StaeL I. Zangwill, George Eliot and Margaret Fuller. The closing day of this department in June will be especial ly interesting to the league, as it will consider some of the authors of the C. W.N. I, no less than ten members be ing eligible to sucn distinction. The de partment ot Art and Litsrature has pre sented an equally typical ani interesting program. At its last meeting a special feature of the afternoon was the unveil ing and presentation to the league ot Raphael's "Sistine Madonna" and Muril lo's "Immaculate Conception," a gift ot the department. The department Home and its Needs has presented some admir able topics Women as entertainers, Sanitary conditions, Ethics ot the home, Home spinsters, Children in the home, Widowxs and bachelors, and more. The several departments are virtually separate clubs, carrying out their work ia their own way und:r the administra tion ot a chairman, secretary and treas urer elected by members ot the depart ment. At each regular quarterly meeting ot the league the chairman of each de partment presents a written report of department work. The Australian bal lot system ia in vogue in the elections, all regular nominations being printed on a single sieet, which is cast and counted according to that system. The general oCcers of the league, with the chairman of each department and chairman of each standing committee, constitute the Board of Managers. The standing com mittees are an Membership. Finance, Social, Wajsand Means, Printing and House Committee The first president of the league was Alice Timmons Toom ey, and succeeding her have been Isa bella CKeefe and Mary A. Corkery. The present president is Marie Tourtelot Robinson; first vice president, Mary A. Byan; second vice president, Cecilia H. Bailey; third vice president, Elizabeth A. Eagle; resording secretary, Catharine Goggin; corresponding secretary, Mar garet S. OTeara; financial secretary, EmmaL-Lanlry; treasurer, Katharine B. Burke. The celebration recently of an "Educa tional Evening" by theWimodaughsiana of Caaisteo, N. Y., in honor of the birth day ht Mary Lyon, the founder of the higher education for women, is charac teristic ot this active, energetic circle of women. The Wimodangbsians united themselves in a club not yet two years ago. Their original purpose provided only for social and literary recreation. Before they had reached their first an niversary, however, this standard ampli fied to include active philanthropic work whose first crystallization is the found ing of the Wimodaughmn Free Library for the benefit of all residents within the limits of Canisteo. This beneficent en terprise was started three months ago under the auspices of the Wimodaugh sians, who have assumed the responsi bility ot its care and maintenance. The library was opened with a list of 501 books, and in the month of March forty dollars was expended in increasing this. Other clubs and private individuals have assisted the Wimodaughsians both in money and by donation ot books, and as the project was started in regular man ner under the state rules, the library re ceives the benefit of the state appropria tion for such enterprises. An interesting note in connection with the work of the club is that a considerable sum of money has been realized from the publication and sale bj the club of a piece of music which was composed by one of the mem bers. Other money-making plans in aid of its free library are being brought to a focus by this energetic club, and there is little doubt that the residents of Canis teo are going to see an important and flourishing library developed at their doors. Harper's Bazar. Hanna's drag store. Cor. 14th and O. THE THEATRE "The -Devil's Auction" drew a good house at the Oliver Thursday night. The performance is an amusing and grotecque medley of the infernal regions, mongolians, dancers in costumes of all descriptions and swift, changing special ties. The scenic effects are fine, and all the members of ths company good in their own line. The omnipresent pow ers of evils are invaribaly quelled at the most hazardous moment by the spirit of good, who was a young woman in white with a gold standard charming to look upon but a failure when she spoke. John Dillon played to a small but friendly and affectionate audience at the Funke Thursday night in"Bart!ett's Road to Seltzerville," a comedy drama, which luckily considering the Bupport, gives Mr. Dillon the ceutre of the stage most of the evening. His temperament is so friendly it converts an audience in to a group of friends and with it all he has talent of no mean order; though truth to tell he has spent it extravagantly. The Sioux City Journal of January 2, 1898, says of Mile. Lonita, the electric spectacular danseuse who will appear at the Funke Thursday, Friday and Satcr. day, April 21, 22, 23, with the Western Circuit Stock Co., which will produce the railroad play "The Pay Train," the national drama "The Captain's Motto," and the new Swedish dialect comedy "Hans Hanson." "Those who had not before seen Mile. Lonita in her picturesque dances were surprised at the artistic and striking ef fects she presented. In addition to the ordinary skirt dancing and the exhibi tion of illustrated figures, she appeared in the marvelous fire dance in which Mme. Herrmann has won such renown, and nobody was prepared to see it so ef fectively done. Some ot the children and some ot the mothers were made very nervous by the realistic counterfeit of flames which billowed and writhed in the middle of the dark and cavernous stage. Mile. Lonita was repeatedly en cored and finally when she sank into a mimic fiery pit, enveloped in the ruddy glare that appeared to crackle with heat the audience recovered from its tension."
