♦ 4 I to aeclde whether or not it had been ! properly performed. 1016 unmistakable path of national policy which had shown itself to the wisest British statesmen appeared broader and plainer when the overtures of tho American war syndicate had been received by tho British government.

This would do just as well as twisting it off, and save expense. No. sir, I will not join you in a julep. I have made no alliance over new fangled inventions! Waiter, fetch me some rum and hot water!” In the midst of tho profound satisfac tion with which the members of the American war syndicate regarded the success of ruieir labors—labors alike profitable to themselves and to the re cently contending nations—and in the gratified pride with which they received the popular and official congratulations which were showered upon them, there was but one little cloud, one regret. In tlie course of tho great syndicate war a life had been lost. Thomas Hutchins, while assisting in the loading of coal on one of the repellers, was acci dentally killed by the falling of a derrick. The syndicate gave a generous sum to the family of the unfortunate man, and throughout the United States tho occur rence occasioned a deep feeling of sym pathetic regret. A popular subscription was started to build a monument to the memory of Hutchins, and contributions came not only from all parts of the United States but front many ¡»rsons in Great Britain, who wished to assist in the erection of this tribute to tho man who had fallen in the contest which had been of as much lienefit to their country as to his own. Some weeks after the conclusion of the treaty a public question was raised, which at first threatened to annoy the American government, but it proved to be of little moment. An anti-adminis tration paper in Peakville, Ark., asserted that in the whole of the published treaty there was not one word in regard to the fisheries question, the complications aris ing from which had been the cause of the war. Other papers took up tho matter, and the government then discovered that in drawing up the treaty the fisheries business had lieen entirely overlooked. There was a good deal of surprise in official circles when this discovery was announced; but as it was considered that the fisheries question was one which would take care of itself, or be readily disposed of in connection with a number of other minor points which remained to be settled lietween tho two countries, it was decided to take no notice of the im plied charge of neglect, and to let the matter drop. And as the opposition party took no real interest in the question but little more was said about it. SOME WOMEN WHO ARE PROMI- NENT IN WORLD’S FAIR WORK. Interesting Personal Sketches of tlie Nine Vice Presidents of the Board of Lady Managers—What the Fair Is Ex pected to Accomplish for Women. (Copyright, 189?, by American Press Associa tion.] It is doubtful if any one thought when the board of lady managers of the World's Columbian exposition was cre ated by congress and Mrs. Potter Palmer was made president that there would be so many opportunities opened to women, and so great results would follow. One MRS. RALPH TRAUTMANN. of the national commissioners from the state of New York, John Boyd Thacher, said the other day: “The exposition will do more for women than the woman's suffrage move ment ever dreamed of doing.” Mrs. Palmer's name has become very familiar during the last eighteen months as the head and front of the woman's department. After her may be named the vice presidents—nine in all, repre senting as many different states. To a New York woman, Mrs. Ralph Traut- mann, was given the office of first vice president, it being quite natural that the Empire state should be allowed to lead off in this way. Mrs. Trautmann’s Ger man name inclines the stranger to think of her as a foreigner, but she was born in New York city, and her loyalty tc state and country stands parallel with that of her husband, who, although Ger man born, having come to the United States very early in life, is true to the home of his adoption. Mrs. Trantmann is not unknown in charitable organizations in New York. She is a member of the executive com mittee of the board of managers of the Hahnemann hospital, and she was one of the founders of the Health Protective association. She not only believes in the capabilities of women, but she ie convinced that the World's fair offers them rare opportunities for displaying their capabilities. Anything she under I. takes she carries through to the end I without faltering, and she is altogether a woman of remarkable executive abil ity. Although the delay in the state legislation in regard to tlie fair thrust all the work into her hands, she cheer fully wrote letters by the hundreds and •answered questions by the dozens, de termined to do nil in her power to help proudly boast being among the early pioneers of the Southern country, their present estate in Louisiana never having been owned by any other family. Mrs. Beriali Wilkins is the representa tive from the District of Columbia, and is the fifth vice president. Ohio is her native state, and she was educated at Dr. Rogers’ seminary for young ladies at Springfield. Her husband, the Hon. Beriah Wilkins, served one term in the Ohio senate, was a member of congress for six years, and is now one of the pro prietors of the Washington Post and is closely identified with tlie affairs of the District of Columbia. Mrs. Wilkins was nominated for fifth vice president by Mrs. John A. Logan. Lack of funds Brunner graduated from the New York College of Pharmacy in 1888, being among the ten that passed the highest examination. She says that the occupa tion of a druggist is well adapted to women, but that they must understand their business and not expect to wear trains and have white hands in a phar macy. This lady makes all her own tinctures. One of her observations is worth noting. It is that the only un- . pleasant experiences she has ever had in her business have come from women I One lady who remarked magnificently for Infants and Children that dispensing drugs was not a woman's business anyhow, and refused to be waited on by Mrs. Brunner, bought five Coatorla cures Colic, Constipation.

Great Britain had lost some forts and some ships, but these would have been com paratively useless in the new system of warfare. On the other hand, she had gained not onlv the incalculable advan tage of tho alliance, hut a magnificent and unsurpassed landlocked basin on the ■ coast of Wales. The United States had lieen obliged to pay an immense suiu on account of the contract with the war syndicate, but this was considered money so well spent, and so much less thau an ordinary war would have cost, that only the most violent anti-administration journals ever alluded to it. Reduction of military and naval forces and gradual disarmament was now the policy of the allied nations. Such forces and such vessels as might be demanded for tho future operations of tho war syn dicate were retained. A few field bat teries of motor guns were all that would be needed on land, and a comparatively small number of armored ships woulil suffico to carry the motor guns that would bo required at sei. Now thero would be .to more mere ex- li'bitions of tha powers of tho instanta neous motor lomb. Hereafter, if battles must be fought, they would be battles of annihilation. This is the history of the great syndi cate war. Whether or not the Anglo- American syndicate was ever called upon to make war, is not to bo stated here. But certain it is that after tho formation of this syndicate all tho nations of the world began to teach English in their schools, and the Spirit of Civilization raised her head with a confident smile. An Outing Waist. A silk outing waist or blouse and stout leather belt and a reefer jacket belong with the skirt, and should match the skirt in color as nearly as possible, for all outing suits should be of subdued and ladylike colors.

Stevens is the prescrip tion clerk in one of the leading drug stores of Providence. MRS. FLORA B. GINTY. MISS KATHERINE I.. MINOR, on the project of the woman's depart ment, and the beginning made by her will no doubt ripen into brave results for New York women. Mrs, Edwin C. Burleigh, the wife of the governor of Maine, is the second vice president of the board of lady man agers. Her name was presented by Mrs. Isabella Beecher Hooker in behalf of the New England members. Mrs. Burleigh is a woman of rare tact and grace. She possesses intellectual attainments of a high order and is cautious in her judg ment. She has been a constant help meet to her husband and has contributed materially to his business and political success. She exercises a cordial hos pitality in her home at Augusta, and she has a large circle of friends that extends beyond the borders of the state. Her sons and daughters are grown and she has leisure to devote to the work of the fair. She and her helpers in Maine have carried on an extensive correspondence and have labored with success to secure the active assistance of the press. A circular has also been sent out by them setting forth the intended scope and character of women's work and so liciting co-operation. The third vice president is Mrs. Charles Price, of Salisbury, N. C. She is a little woman, young, bright eyed and witty, and was one of the liveliest and jolliest of the commissioners at the first meeting of the board in 1890. Owing to her activity in her state, there is already much enthusiasm in regard to women's work, and the public schools are having “Columbian evenings” to make money for the purpose of paying expenses at the fair. Miss Katherine L. Minor, of New Or leans, was chosen to represent the south ern appointment of states as fourth vice president of the board, and she has given much of her lime and attention to furthering the best interests of the expo sition. She is especially interested in the agricultural exhibit and in display ing a tabulated record of the numerous charities of the state. A special feature of the Louisiana ex hibit will be “The Acadians and their work,” and another will be a “creole kitchen,” where famous dishes of the old -creoles of Louisiana will lie repro duced. Miss Minor is the daughter of Captain William J. Minor, of Natchez, Miss. In 1867 she moved to Louisiana to live upon her fatner's sugar estates, where she has been actively engaged in aiding her brother to develop their interests as sugar planters. Her grandfather, Don Estephano Minor, was originally from Carlisle, Pa., but when quite a young man moved to Mississippi, whichwas then under the rule of the Spanish governineut. Ho acquired the Spanish language in a remarkably short time, was enlisted in the Spanish army, and soon rose to the rank of major. Enjoying the confidence of Governor Guyoso, he was often left in charge of the Spanish possessions, and when the territory of Mississippi was I ceded to the United States government ‘ he was employed by Governor Guyoso | in running the boundary lines of the i state, and received a large grant of land from the Spanish government in recog-1 > nition of his services. Thus the family I I family, her own gteat-grandfather be- ing Lewis Morris, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and her granduncle J. Fenimore Cooper. Her parents settled in the west at an early day, and in 1861 she married Gen eral George C. Ginty, one of the promi nent newspapermen of Wisconsin. Mrs. Ginty has been a widow two years, and during that time has edited the paper founded by her husband—tha Chippewa Herald. She is a woman of much ability and a fine writer, and was elected a delegate from Wisconsin to the National Educational association, which met in California in Mav. She is also vice president of the Wisconsin Press association. She is exerting all her influence to further the interests of the fair in her state, and is at present en gaged in ferreting out material for the Wisconsin State building. Mrs. Margaret Blaine Salisbury, the niece of James G. Blaine,and theeighth vice president, is one of the commission ers from Utah. She is a beautiful worn an and young, and has great social prom inence at her home in Salt Lake City Through her influence women will be allowed one-third the amount appropri ated by Utah for the fair. One of the interesting announcements connected with the work in Utah is that it is being done by a committee, two-thirds of which is composed of Mormon women There is still another officer known as the vice president at large, and this is Mrs. Russell B. Harrison, the daughter in-law of the president of the United States. Mrs. Harrison went to Montana to live soon after her marriage, and it is from that state she hails as a member of the board of lady managers.
