The dis- pensary alone has been a source of great good, ‘and the hospital, which has been started only so recently, has already three patients, two women and one child. There are many others awaiting entrance, for whom there were no beds until today. In the hospital women can have the exclusive attention of women doctors and surgeons if they so prefer. Today Mrs. Bromwell, Mra. Tabor Johnson, Mra. Harris and Mra. Kerr, with Dr. Mancaster, were pres- ent to receive ‘lonations and also acted as most efiicient guides through the house.

A RANDOM SHOT. “The District people are after you pretty sharp, ain't they?” remarked » friend to Con- gressman Cannon. “No,” replied the Congresiman, with his mind on the subject, “they areonly half after me.” ME. FRYE AND THE YACHTMEN. ‘The New York Club Appeal to Him Me- garding the Proposed Tax on Foreign Yachts, At the annual meeting of the New York Yacht Club, held February 5, a committee was appointed to look into the bill relating to for- eign yachts introduced in the United States Senate by Senator Frye of Maine. The bill provides that foreign-built yachts remaining in this country longer than six months in any one year, or if sold to or becoming the property of citizen of the United States, shall become subject to duties at the rate of $20 per gross ton, and if navigated in the United States shall become subject to a tonnage tax of 81 per ton at every port at which they may arrive. Ex-Commodore James D. Smith, chairman of the New York Yacht Club’s commitiee, has communicated with Senator Frye and received areply. In his letter Mr. Smith said: ‘t will make only two ‘suggestions to you. The first, that yachts are built only for pleasure and cannot under any circumstances receive a dollar for carrying freight or paswngers. Yachtmen nover receive any revenue. They always pay out money. Second. very few for- eign yachts come to America. Thenotable for- eign yacl:t clubs have heretofore challenged the New York Yacht Club to race for the Amuerica’s cup, won by the schooner America in 1851 seven times. It has been held by us. Would it be fair to tax them or their yachts for com- ing to America to make an international race? ‘The expense of any yacht owner in » foreign country, challenging, is enormous in sailing to this country and making the race. ‘They. now complain that we do not treat challengesfairly. If this bill should become a law I fear they would think the United States government was helping the New York Yacht Club to hold the America’s cup by making a law that would add largely to their expense in pursuit of pleasure and honor. if they won the cap, and thas really prohibiting challenge being made by uny foreign yacht club.” Senator Frye answered Mr. Smith's letter im- mediately, as follo ‘ours of the 9th re- ceived. Being a born 9 » I naturally act very slowly in anything which aifcets sporting interests. I probably shall not report the bill touching yachts at this session. it is entirely clear to me, however, that something should be done concetning the purchase of foreign-built yachts. Ithink when they have been brought over duties have been paid, but none where they have suilod across and beon purchased here. ‘Tuey, in my opinion, should pay a duty im case of purchase. Where foreign yachts simply come io this country for the purpose of entering in races and are tken returned, I do not believe myself in any limitation. If I con- clude to bring the matter before the committee for consideration I will notify you.” poe hen ‘The Elizabeth Zounves, ‘The Veteran Zouaves of Elizabeth, N, J., ar- rived at Richmond, Va, Cherieston. ‘They were met at the station by two companies of the first Virginia regiment and eworted to their armory, where Drenkfast Yeas served, after which the sited the prin- interest 3 te outs ‘They leave 0 é i if rte YOUNG .WOMAN’S WORK. Another Great Meeting Under the White ‘Ribboners’ Auspices. SEVERAL EARNEST SPEAKERS TELL WHAT GREAT 00D YOUNG WOMEN CAN DOIN THE TEMPER- ANCE CAUSE—THE “t's” AND THE THREE BRANCHES OF THEIR WORK EXPLAINED. ‘The session of the white ribboners’ convoca- tion at Foundry M.E. Church last evening was devoted to young woman's work. The church was well filled, as it has been at all the sessions so far. Mra H. B. Moulton announced the opening hymn, “He Leadeth Me.” Prayer was of offered by Miss Alice McDay and Miss Ida | F; O'Neill sang as 6 solo “Unanswered,” with pleasing effect. MI88:-ANNA GORDON ON JUVENILE WORE. ‘Miss Anna Gordon, the assistant superintend- ent of juvenile work, was introduced by Mrs. Moulton to speak on the subject of her special line of work. Miss Gordon, who has acted for a number of years as private secretary to Miss Frances E. Willard, is a pleasant speaker as well and her addrees was listened to with the closest attention. Miss Gordon said that be- fore to on juvenile work she would like say with reference to the Young Woman’s Christian ‘Temperance Union. It is but natural, she said, that the mothers of tho land who have sons to rear and see them confronted by dram shops on every corner should wish to do their best to ut down the cause of licensed liquor business. it it isanother thing for the young girls of the country to engage in work. Young girls in philanthropy make « unique picture. jut thousands of young women are i to see their way to a higher and nobler life. “My thoughts are always with the small children,” continued Miss Gordon, “and I hear the continued tramp, tramp of the ranks of the young who are just being mustered into the army of temperance. We now have 250,000 of thom enrolled in the loyal temperance legions of the couniry in addition to those who are in the temperance kindergartens. Not only do we hope to make of them total abstainers, but that euch one of them xhall live its own fuller and more perfect life and be an example o! truth and purity to others.” MRS. BARNES ON THE “‘Y's” WORK. Mrs. Frances J. Barnes of New York, the na- tional superintendent of “¥” work, was intro- duced as one who was fairly idolized by the young ones with whom she has come in contact. “Each one of us,” said Mrs. Barnes, “should stop and ask himself or herself ‘What is my life? What should I do tolive it better? Is my daily life an influence for temperance?’ I would have you, oh ! my girls, liveso that your life might be an inspiration to those around you for good. Dark indeed is our age and the sin of in- temperance is an all-pervading one, but the day is coming when intemperance ‘shall be regarded as one of the things of the past— ofthe dark ages. Many people say that this matter does not come nigh them and they are surprised that young women should become in- terested in the temperance cause, for they say they'donot go ont into the world and meet temptation as do the young men. Perhaps not to the same extent, yet women do meet tempta- tion, and even though they did not women are the leaders of opinion in country more than they are in any other country and they are yesterday from h a great power for good. Yet take the case of youn women in modern society. SOCIAL BIBULATION. ‘They drink little sherbet at luncheon, a little wine or punch at an afternoon tea and Perhaps a little champagne st an evening re- ception. At the end of the week they have not taken much, but they feel that they cannot go through another week :without as much or more stimulant, and then? I went through the female delirium tremens ‘ward in’ the Bellevue Hospital not long ago and every single one of the wretched women there began ‘downward way by driaking ina social way. “There isa need for Christian hearts and help in the great work,and thove who are strong should bear the infirmities of the weak and not simply please them. ~Our work is carried on under three branches—in the distribution of temperance literature for the education of ourselves as well as of others, work for the children and youth of the land, and the work for the young women. ‘The. young women of Aimerica have a tremendous c gown! and all the privileges are granted that they could eek, ut these privileges bring a great responsi bility." Young girls have the companionship of the young men in this country, and if they only raise the true standard they can accom- plish a great good in their every-day lives. the day is coming when purity will be de- manded for purity. God could not make An- tonio Stradivarias’ violins without Antonio and He cannot do your work without you. And so again I ask you what is your life.” GoD WORK BEING DONE IN FRANCE. ‘Miss Gibson of Calais, France, a pretty young girl, made a pleasant address, in which she said that while she came as a stranger among them, yetshe was one of them, for she belonged to that kisterhood that is tied together and to God by the white ribbon, She told of what is being done in France for the suppression of drunk- enness. Miss Gibson spoke with a delightful accent, and when she finished she received ap- pause from all sides. Mrs, Zarnes, epeaking of Miss Gibson, said that she was going back to France to work for temperance, and she would add that Miss Gib- son hed never tasted wine in all her life, al- though she was born and raised in France. At this point in the exercises considerable mertiment was aroused by the unexpected ap- arance of Mr. C. H. and Sliss Elma Saunders dressed as an old-time Me*Rodist ex- horter and his wife. ‘A MUSICAL DIALOGUE. They indulged in a musical dialogue in which Samantha urged Josiah to start into voting as hhe had been prasing, but Josiah held off, how- ever, for prohibition had no war record he felt it his duty to vote along with » war record. But in the end prohibition won the day and Josiah is now a full-fledged member of the pro- hibition party. Miss Morgan of Painesville, Ohio, made a few remarks on the Open Icy Leaf, the official organ of the W.C.T.U., and the meeting was then dismissed by the singing of the doxology.

THE MAY ELECTION. The ward politicians find it dificult to awaken as yet any general interest in the city election, which occurs next May, and in which the mayor, city council and all the charter offi- crs will be chosen. The candidates themselves are indisposed to start early in the contest, for they know that the ward politician will come earlier than the mosquito to cousin them and borrow money, which lent, not forty days, but forevermore. colored men lave lately organized a republican club, but, in fact, the town in governed by the democratic primaries, and upon the democrats, as matters ave gone for many yeers, resis the responsi- bility for municipal matters.
