to have sandmen tendencies, but at tbis
time it may be advantageous to know
where lies Borne of the power in the gen
eral federation. The resolution? adopt
ed at the convention of presidents of
Massachusetts clubs, those adopted
by the Worcester, Medrord and New
England Women's clubs illustrate a
feeling that is rapidly growing in New
England. Like a refreshing breeze,
however, to these ominous clouds are
the resolutions recently adopted by the
Maine federation denying any desire on
its part to form or enter a New England
federation. If Massachusetts on the
occasion of the next biennial would only
drink a friendly cup of tea before it has
been steeped in brine with other sections
of the country and remember the old
union proverb in time affairs might ar
range themselves more to her liking.
The present at least does not point to
wards peace as the sentiment of the
next biennial.
The Woman's club of North Bend has
no debarring clause in its bylaws,neither
has a sex line been drawn but on the
contrary cordial invitation has been ex
tended periodically to masculine friends.
Yet they seldom come. Diplomatic
members construed their indifference
thus: We meet on Saturday afternoon,
the busiest time for business men. Let
us have an evening session; let us make
it a musicale, wear our pretty gowns and
a smile to please the eyes, have sweet
music to please the ear, kind welcome
to touch the heart, and dainty refresh
ments to tickle the palate, and it was
decided upon. The young ladiee ar
ranged and carried to a successful issue
the musical program. Mrs. Doubrava
offered her spacious home, which the
ladies decorated with flowers and flags,
and seventy-five guests responded and
were welcomed by the reception com
mittee, Mesdamee Sherwood and Walk
er, who presented each one with a mina
ture flag. Tiny hatchets were presented
only to the men as a hatchet in the
hand of a woman at the present time is
"mightier than the sword." The music
was of the quality that searches out the
corners of the soul. Dainty refresh
ments were graciously served with good
appetite and good nature for a relish.

THE OLIVER.
"A Stranger in a Strange Land,1' is by
Walter Vincent and Sidney Wilmer. It
is the story of a young Englishman who
Bent to America, in the hope that a trip
abroad may settle him, returns home
deceiving his relatives about his con
duct abroad. This illustrates the fash
ion of English people, of getting our
geography mixed up, often locating
Omaha Just back of Harlem, etc.
Some child will get a five dollar gold
piece at the matinee today.
Mies Blanche Walsh, supported by an
exceptionally strong company will pre
sent "More than Queen." at the Oliver,

geous spectac e founded on the tragic
lo"e of the beautiful Empress Josephine,
held captive Napoleon. The Garden of
the Palais Roval, the Chante Reine resi
dence of the Bmapartes, tho Garden of
Malmaieon, the Tuileries, Notre Dame
anil St. L'.oud and Fontainhleau. are ex

the Creole Empress, has mastered an ex

THE FUNKB.
The production of Ten Night9 in a
Bar Room, wich will be presented at
the Fuoke Mon. and Tues., and Tues.
matinee at 4 P. M. is on a scale of great
magnificence. It has been many years
eince we have been treated to a repre
sentation of this beautiful drama, in
which worthy actors are employed and
the resources of the scenic artist and
mechanic are taxed to make the Betting
of the piece equal to that of Busby Bros',
company gives a most powerful intepre
tattoo of this masterpiece. This is the
first time that every scene haB been pro
duied in this great play.
The Campaign of Revenge in China
was for Politics Only.
No one can claim for the campaign of
revenge, a military necessity; it must,
therefore, have been a political move.
No one can doubt that it was calculated
to prolong indefinitely the disturbances
and postpone a settlement. No more
can we doubt that it had in it all the
dangers of a goad applied to a cowed,
but not htlplees, population. It threw
wide the doors to international discord,
and actually, in many instances, invited
it to enter. Drawing a curtain before
its unutterable barbarity, and casting
aside its purely moral aspects (if, indeed,

they can ever be truly separated from
the political), does it not seem, as a mat
ter of policy, that a course more fraught
with danger to the "open door," which
is inseparable from the uoified China,
could not have been devised. Yet it
virtually rested with England and I
base this statement, not on the diplo
matic argument which we are bo famil
iar with through reading the foreign
correspondence in the newspapers, but
on actual occurrences in China to say
aye or nay to the punitive campaign,,
and to bring about a situation which
would have forced an early and easy
settlement.
No one desires to abridge the existing
era of good feeling between England
and the United SUtee, but I am afraid
that England's attitude toward China
in the forthcoming settlement must not
bs tauen entirely for granted. Nor can
I blind myself to the fact that her actual
conduct in China has been neither al
ways in sympathy with the "open door,"
nor considerate of the interests of the
Uaited.States. For, next to China, the
United States has, more than any other
nation, footed the bill for the punitive
campaign, and stands to suffer most
from an inational or delayed settlement.
