DRAW NO LINES OF SECT Outgrowth of Little Circle Gathered by Margaret lSotlome Some Instances of What They Do and How. BY FREDERIC J. HASKIX. WASHINGTON, April ll.( Special Cor respondence.) In every city, in almost every town, in many villages and ham lets, and In remote country districts throughout the United States, bands ot women are dally going about doing every known kind of helpful, charitable work. They proceed quietly and without osten tation. There is no uniform to distin guish them from other people who come and bo, but If you will look closely you will find in the lace at the throat or on a chain, a tiny silver cross of Maltese design, bearing the letters, 'I. H. N." Sometimes a knot of purple ribbon is worn with it. Purple is the color - of royalty, and for that reason belongs to these kindly women, who are called The King's Daughters. Their every deed Is done under the inspiration of divine tharity "In his name." The .society was organized about 20 ears ago by Mrs. .Margaret Bottome, wife of a clergyman, who was the only president of the general order until her death last Fall. Only 10 or 12women were present at the first meeting, which lie called in her New York home, but from that simple, reverential service has grown a movement that is not only Na tional, but world-wide In its scope. Work Done by the Circles. The objects of the order are "the de velopment of spiritual life and the stim ulation of Christian activities." For the purpose of making the work more effec tive the local organizations, known as circles, are gathered Into county or city unions, and these into state ajui National organizations. Biennial meetings are held, and eight CanadiHn provinces affil iate with the United Aa'tes organizations at. tliis time. The last meeting was held nt Wheeling W. Va., in May. 1908. this being the eighth one. No service is too small or insignificant for the women of this order to undertake. No work of benevolence is considered beneath them, no matter how sinful and unattractive the beneficiary. ICvcry Held of effort is covered in their daily duties. Hospitals, creches. Indus trial schools, churches, homes for the blind, the aged and the incurable; mis sions. Sunday Schools, sewing circles, and countless other helpful things spring up in the path where the feet of these good women tread, marking their way like the flowers of Spring. The question of re ligious denominations does not enter into the matter at all. While many circles are formed In churches for church work alone, and many Include members of only certain sects,' It is because that Is the work that happens to lie nearest, mid not because the general society be longs to any particular religious cult. Always Itcady to Help Soniehody. Notice the names chosen: and the spirit of willingness and earnestness will bo guessed: the Whatsoever Circle, the Willing Hands, the Willing Hearts, the Friends of the Needy, the Friends of the lonely, and the Friends of the Poor. Sometimes the names of good men and women are given to memorial circles. In New York a great work is being done In the slums. At the Frank Bottome memorial, on the East Side, there is a free kindergarten, a Sunday school, a penny provident, fund, a mothers' club, all established in mem ory of Mrs. Bottome's son, a physician, who gave his life In loving service to llic poor. This same band of workers has given vacation trips to 2000 women and children in the hot Summer days, and a bowl of bread and milk is served rach morninR to eighty little children. This big city has its flower mission circles, which distribute plants among? the children of the tenements, who take the wan littlo ones for a day or two in the country and who support floating hospitals for ailing babies in Summer time. What Blind Girls Do. A circle of blind girls In California recently made gay pin-cushions for a hospital and filled tiny bottles -with perfume to bo sent to the patients. Another circle of blind girls in Ten nessee, lodged in a home built for them by the King's Daughters, has achieved most Interesting things in basketry, lace-maklng and knitted work. A gen eral work in the New England states has been to find sale for these things made by "shut-in" Invalids who can not leave their beds or chatrs. From largo firms the Daughters have taken orders for mops, wash-rags, dish cloths, etc., and the shut-Ins are en abled to earn a living by making these articles. Each consignment bears the affidavit of the various circles to the effect that the shut-in has no contagi ous diseases. In Mississippi a visiting officer of the order was approached by & young ne gro girl, who said that she was a member of a circle of The King's Daughters composed of other negro girls of her age "What is the name ot your circle?" the visitor asked "We call it tho 'We Sing Them to t!od Circle," "the girl replied "What an unusual name." the visi tor said ktndly; "will you tell me about It" "Why. it's this way," the girl re plied: when any of our friends are dy ing we gather In the room and sing deftly the hymns they like best until thoy have passed away." It Is possibly the only circle of its kind, but, knowing the negroes' love for music and the melody of their voices, the singing of old-time hymns must be a comfort to the dying. avc Life -for a Strancer. It was a Mississippi woman who proved r martyr to her little cross and its meaning. Mrs. Mary Thompson Howe, daughter of the late Episcopal bishop of that state, was spending the Summer in the mountains of North Carolina, when she found a little post-mistress there who could not leave her post to go to the led of a dying relative. Mrs. Howe had herself sworn in as assistant and took charge of the work. She contracted typhoid fever while at her post and died from doing a kind service for a stranger. At Norwich. Conn., the King's Daugh ters havo recently founded a home for worthy Protestant women. The oppor tunity circle in a Michigan town employs a vUdtlng nurse for the poor who could not otherwise afford to have one. At Kealakena, Hawaii, a circle of native GOOD WORK DON girls under the tuition of an American missionary is making scrap-books to send to unfortunates in the leper colony. At Hotchkiss, Colo., the lack ot denomina tional prejudice was proved when the King's Daughters of tin city combined and bought a communion service for each of the two churches, the Baptist and the Methodist- The Virginia ' branches are planning a- rest-room for the use of visitors at the Jamestown Exposition, just as other state organizations did at St. Louis aud Portland. At Mexico. Mo., a home for aged women is supported by circles of this order. In Detroit the work takes the form of social settlements, and cooking and other Industrial classes are formed and supported for the benefit of the poor. liaised. Widow's Mortgage. A band of children in a little Missouri town rained the mortgage of JSS on a poor widow's home, employed a nurse for her when she fell ill and paid her fu neral expenses when she died. In Oak land. Cal.. a home for incurables has been in successful operation for several years, the building being also offered as a refuge- for sufferers from the San Fran cisco disaster. Tennessee circles are building such a home and have also established a reform school for boys and a home for aged women in Memphis. Kentucky circles have gone far up in the mountain wilds to build churches where none ever before existed. . In St. liouis one circle set to work and raised the money to rebuld Its church when the cyclone tore It down. There are in the United States 113,000 people who are suf fering from epilepsy. At Port Deposit, Md., the King's Daughters have gathered as many as they can into a home and are giving them all the help and care that is possible. In Ohio a Summer school is held at Xakeside under the circles of that locality, while in Alabama ' the activi ties of most of the circles are directed toward hospital work. Most Loved in New Orleans. In New Orleans the order maintains a home for crippled children, the build ing of which is due to the best-known living worker of the order. Miss Sophie Wright, the "woman beloved of New Orleans." Miss Wright, herself a crip ple since she was 3 years old, led in the work of raising the needed $10,000 to erect this building, because she knew what it meant to be a little child who suffered, who could not run and play as other children did. This frail, white-haired woman, whose sweet face has been marked with suffering, is of such potent influence in her city that it is said if her activities should sud denly cease, upwards of 2 per cent of the white male population would- be deprived of the hope of education. She has founded a free night school, which now has 1700 pupils and a large corps of volunteer teachers. She began this work by teaching a young fellow from a stranded circus who wanted to prepare for an Exam ination. He brought his friends. Others came and still others, boys and men, girls and women, asking help in every branch of education under the sun, and Miss Wright secured it for all of them somehow. There are only two conditions with which the applicant must comply In coming to this night school: He must be employed during the day-school hours, and he must be unable to pay for the tuition. This work Miss Wright began alone 23 years ago, when she was a girl in her 'teens, teaching a private school for other girls. Today her private school is one of the best in the coun try.: she mortgaged it three years ago to get funds for her night school, but the appreciative citizens of New Or leans raised $10,000 and gave it to her as a present. It was a memorable day when thousands of people gathered In Audubon Park to see this frail woman receive the Picayune's silver cup, that the city had unanimously agreed should go to her as "the citizen who had done most for New Orleans during the past year."

BUCHAREST, April 16.-The Adevrut publishes particulars concerning the re pressive measures made use of recently in the suppression of the peasant revolt. It appears that at Viatu, when- the soldiers appeared, the peasants fled to the forests, leaving behind them only some helpless old men.

BRYAN S INNINGS Leader Acclaimed by Brook lyn Democracy. HE DODGES ISSUE OF 1908 AVill Decide at Some Future Time Position in Campaign Glories In the Republican Adop tion of Democracy. NEW YORK, April 16. W. J. Bryan was . the choice attraction of the Democ racy of Brooklyn tonight in the observ ance of the anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson, and that body en gaged in an enthusiastic demonstration. The function was the annual dinner of the Brooklyn Democratic Club. Mr. Bry an gave a choice discourse, taking for his subject "Thomas Jefferson." Beside Mr. Bryan, the speakers in cluded Edward M. Shepard, of New York; George Fred Williams, of Massa chusetts; ex-Governor J. Hoge Tyler, of Virginia; Governor Edwin Warfield, of Maryland; Augustus Thomas, the play wright, and Congressman Ollis James, of Kentucky. Mr. Shepard praised Mr. Bryan, whom he welcomed with the words that the Brooklyn Democratic Club "declared its strong and loyal hope that Mr. Bryan would lead the party in 1308." Mr. Williams, discussing Government ownership of railroads, said : "I see no escape from the conclusion that, if Government ownership is right, it should be adopted now. If regulation is wrong, it' should not be attempted at all." Mr. Williams believed,', however, that regulation was not right, not possible and not expedient. South United for Bryan. Mr. Tyler said the people of the South are practically united lor Mr. Bryan and that the mention of his name is as potent in flashing a magic spell of enthusiasm as it was in '96. A message from the Southern Democ racy was delivered by Mr.. James, who hailed Mr. Bryan as one of the pioneers of the Democracic party and added: "The Southern Democracy tonight gathered about William Bryan. "The Democracy of all Dixie pro claims that it wants Bryan, to lead in the next great fight." Mr. Warfield said the Democrats of that section ' continued to ' support Bryan, and that the South was for Bryan for the next Presidential nomi nation. It was midnight before Mr. Bryan began his address. He said his sole design was that the Democratic party should enter the campaign with the strongest Democrats it could find in order to bring out a triumphant vote. It was not necessary for him, he thought to be a candidate for any of fice, as there was joy enough for him in private life, provided he could get his ideas into operation. . He said: Will Decide at Future Time. When" I see so many Democratic principles put in operation by a Republican President 1 can Imagine what joy it would b to bav those principles carried out by a Democratic President. At eome time in the future I shall decide what my place Is to be in the next campaign. But I want to say it will take the rct of my life to g-et even with the people of this country for the favors 1 have already received. Mr. Bryan declared he wanted to give encouragement to the cause and he could do this in no better way than by comparing the lives and works of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Ham ilton, which he reviewed briefly. Mr. Bryan declared the rich men do not sympathize enough with the poor men. The trouble is that people do not 'nave money, but that the money has the people. He wished to present Jefferson to the rich man as one who so appreciated the advantages: that money gaVe him that he asked for no law to enable him to take the poor man's money and put it in bis own pocket- .. Ultimatum to Opponents. "If you do not believe in the right of a democratic people to govern them selves," he said, "I will drive you out of the Democratic party, because, if the Democratic party does not be lieve in the rule of the people, it will have no trouble in driving me out." Mr. Bryan, as the hour grew late, wished to conclude, but under many re quests to continue was induced to go on. He referred to the fact that many people have termed certain Democratic principles Bryanlsm and declared they were not Bryanlsm at all. but had lived before he was born and would live after he had passed away. "Now." he declared, "things which Bryan has stood for "have had the sup port of a Republican reformer, they cannot ' take from me any of the credit." Mr. Bryan said it was perfectly proper and exactly reasonable for the Democrats to praise the Republicans for incorporat ing into their platforms Democratic prin ciples. Stands By Ownership Idea. Mr. Bryan did not conclude his address until 1:50 A. M.. having spoken about two hours. One of the last points in his speech was a reference to his address at Madison-Square Garden, after his trip around the world, in which he declared for Government ownership -of railroads. He declared the critics of his attitude on this question had entirely overlooked the fact that he had proclaimed the same doctrine two years before the doctrine that the regulation of railroads was a failure and Government ownership was the only true remedy. Mr. Bryan praised President Roosevelt J for his endeavors to curb the trusts. iiivsueiu e ut-iirveu tiiai uiu rresiaent naa not proceeded far enough in this respect; commented upon what he termed the fail ure of the Republican party to reform the tariff, and uttered an earnest plea for the establishment of an independent re public In the Philippine Islands. COLLEGE MUSEUM IS LOST GUI University and Montreal Loses Medical Building by Fire. MONTREAL. April 16. A second disas trous fire within two weeks visited Mc GU1 University early today and practical ly destroyed the Medical building, one of the oldest and most valuable of the col lege group. Besides the equipment, the Museum, one of tho best upon the Con tinent containing many priceless speci mens, 'was destroyed. The magnificent Medical Library, however, was saved. Immediately after the recent fire which wiped out the Engineering building, the University authorities, it is understood, placed a half million dollars of extra in surance on the whole University plant. The Medical building will share In this, but It is doubtful whether the insurance will cover one-half the actual damage. ,The buildings were erected at a cost of about S50.000. The collections which they contained are beyond estimate as to value. Dr. J. H. Shepherd stated that his fa mous anatomical collection was saved. Boston Has $100,000 Fire. BOSTON. April It-Millions of dollars worth of property was endangered today by a Are that broke out In a Central Wharf warehouse, but owing to the- fact that the wind was blowing in tho direc tion of the harbor, the firemen were able to confine the flames and prevent their spreading toward the city. The fire was started in the .oil refining plant of Howe, French & Co., and was caused by the ex plosion of an oil tank. Three firms were burned out the Com monwealth. Oil Company, the Borne Schrymser Company, oil refiners, and Howe, French & Co. The property loss is estimated at J100.000. Fire Wrecks Roof Garden. NEW YORK, April 16.

T REACTIONIST DEPUTY THROWN OUT FOR INSULT. Democratic Leader Denounces Judi cial Murder at Moscow Vice President Can't Keep Order. ST. PETERSBURG. April 16. V. V. Shulgln. a reactionist - workman Deputy from Volhynla, was excluded by Vice President Pozenasky from today'a sitting of the lower house of Parliament for calling the members of the Left party "bomb-throwers." The session, which was devoted to interpellations, was marked by a series of disorders, due mainly to the inability of the vice-president, who took the place of President Golovin, to maintain order. The lower house today adopted a mo tion of V. M. Maklakoff of Moscow, the Constitutional Democratic leader, to in terpellate the Minister of the Interior concerning the execution of four men in a suburb of Moscow. The men, who had wounded a policeman in a drunken frolic, were twice tried by drumhead court martial, the first court refusing to im pose the death sentence. M. Maklakoff, who spoke on personal knowledge of the matter, declared It a "clear case of Ju dicial murder." He said the Governor General of Moscow had no right to can cel the finding of the first court and con voke a second court to retry the prisoners. President Golovin has applied for an audience of the Emperor for the purpose of presenting his report of proceedings of the lower house of Parliament, as re quired by law. Terrorist Band Captured.
