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.

It is doubtful if any one thought when

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

Both countries were too well satisfied
with the general result to waste time or
discussion over small matters. 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.

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. She is a
charming blond haired and blue eyed
woman who is ready to lend her aid in
any state, as her office permits.
