The eighth annual convention of the state federation of women's clubs met at Columbus on Tuesday. October 7th. at 2 o'clock. Mrs. Draper Smith of Omaha state president, in the .chair. The convention opened with prayer by Reverend Monroe, pas tor of the Congregational church of Columbus. Mayor Dickinson wel comed the delegates, officially extend ing to them the freedom of the city. Mrs. Gerrard. president of the Colum bus woman's club, extended welcome to the hearts and homes. Mrs. Chester Brink, of Ord. responded in n few well chosen words. Two musical numbers were given by the high school orches tra, the players all being young girls and boys, directed by a young lady of marked ability. The music was high ly appreciated and enthusiastically encored. Mrs. Smith followed with the annual address, which she delivered with her usual ability and very phas ing personality, after which came the flrst social halt hour of the con vention. The corresponding secre tary reported ninety-nine clubs In the federation, forty-three being represented. Mesdames F. M. Hall, H. M. Bushnell, E. P. Savage. W. A. Poynter. M. H. Everett. H. A. Bab cock. W. E. Burlingim. Milton Scott. A. E. Davisson and Miss Annie Miller of Lincoln, represented their respective clubs. There was not time enough al lowed to hear reports from all the clubs, whch was a disappointment to many, as this feature Is one of the most Interesting and helpful to the convention. The Randolph club report received special mention. It Is a new club, but has a constitution that pre dicts a long and profitable existence if only its" tenets are well adhered to. This club pursues heroic treatment. If any member falls to perform an as signed duty a fine of one dollar is the penalty. The Omaha woman's club numbers fourteen departments, a na ture department being a new feature. A Bible study department Is in view in the near future. The Omaha and Council Bluffs railway club has seven ty members, and studies civil service reform. Mrs. Harriett MacMurphy. of Omaha, chairman of the household economics committee, presided over the Tuesday evening meeting. After a piano solo by Miss Lucy Haywood, and some pre liminary reports. Governor Savage ad dressed the meeting. The governor said he had been asked to speak on forestry and had prepared what he thought would read quite well, but only a little while before the time fixed for the convention he was ii Vt;l to fore go the oratorical and flowery talk, and come down from the tree-tops to plain food topics. It was a great disappoint ment to him, but his faithful wife helped him out. However it sounded ery much like the governor himself. While his topic, "Pure Food Laws." did not give him much room for ora torical display, he had enthusiasm, which often makes up for lack of dis play. Miss Bullock, secretary of the state library commission, gave a re port of her year's work. It was a good report and to those who heard it. In teresting, but unfortunately she did not speak loud enough for all to hear. Miss Harriet Heller, of Omaha, made a plea for voluntary contributions for a colored teacher, Miss Vanderzee, teacher of colored children in the south. Wednesday morning was devoted to art in the clubs. Mrs. F. M. Hall, chairman of the art division in the fed eration, had charge of the meeting. She gave a report of the year's work through the state, which proved that much Interest and latent talent were being developed as the result of com bined work. She was assisted by Mrs. Langworthy of Seward, Miss Butter field and Mrs. Comfort of Omaha. Mrs. Langworthy Taylor had charge of the civic department. Besides her own able address, she was assist ed by E. G. Routzahn, of Chicago, field secretary of the American league for civic Improvement. Mrs. Nellie Rich ardson, in a few concise and effectual words, told what our city Improvement society had done in the way of procur ing ordinances and beautifying the streets. Her talk proved interesting and instructive. Mrs. Hinman. of Lin coln, was chairman of the educational session. Mrs. Hinman gave a very in teresting address, and surprised her auditors by making herself heard, every word being clear and distinct. What a comfort it is to be able to hear every word a speaker utters whether it be good or bad. If a woman Is phys ically unable to make herself heard after taking the trouble to prepare a paper, it certainly Is her duty to get borne good reader to read It for her. Mr. C. A.
