i THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1891. CLOSING SESSIONS. The First Triennial Meeting of the Woman's National Council Over. MANY SUBJECTS DISCUSSED. Some Women Who Had Not Before Been Heard From Speak—Progress of Women in Journalistic Work Told—Women’s Share the Great World’s Fair. It was one minute after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon when Miss Willard called to order second session for y of t tional Council. There was hardly as large an attendance as there was in the morning, but still there was enough to keep away any feel- ing of lonesomencss that nsight otherwise have | been in sueh a big place. Mrs. J.C. Wenham of Grand Rapids, the president of the largest literary society in the country, opened the exercises with a beautifal solo. Amanda Dale of the National Peace As- sociation led in prayer. The papers of the af- | ternoon were varied in character, treating, as a rule, of subjects that did not just chime in | with any of the other sessions, each of which | was devoted to some one general topic. Most | of the speakers were newspaper women from dif- ferent parts of the country, but ail thoroughly conversant with what they were talking about. MARY F. SEYMOUR. Mary F.

The hour set for the opening of the last ses- sion of the Woman's National Council at Ab baugh’s last evening was 7:15 o'clock. This was a half hour earlier than nsual, this change being demanded by the length of the evening's program. “The Orgunized Work and Life of Women” was the general subject of the even- | J the interest that attached to the sub- session of a particularly interesting meeting. were enough to bring together a audi. It was nearer 7:30 when Mrs. L. BM. | Stevens of Maine, the new recording secretary | of the council, arose to open the exercises with prayer. She asked that during the evenin, hothing be «nid that should not be said and what was said should be ina proper and seemly manner. This was a little hit appar- ently at Mrs. Leaso of the Farmers’ Alliance, who created such a furore Tuesday evening by her wordy attack on Senator Ingalls. That un- fortunate break has worried the women con- nected with the council more than a little. MRS. ELLA DIETZ CLYMER. “Women’s Clubs—-Sorosis” waa the subject of | an interesting paper read by Mrs. Ella Dietz Clymer, president of Soroeis. She said that the objects of that club are the promotion of good fellowship among those with literary, artistic and musical tastes and the dissemina- tion of such facts and information as will be of value to them. “What college life is to young women,” said Mrs. Clymer, “snch is club life to women. of ma- turer years.’ The cinb is a sort of training school for the broader life that is inevitably | coming to women. Sorosis was not founded for this purpose, but the founder builded wiser than she knew. The club idea represents woman's desire tobe rather than to do. All things are conspiring to give her more free- dom and she is no longer satisfied with domes- tic life simply or a round of useless gaiety. Hence the clab is a boon to domestic women. Eligibility to membership is worth and_morai stanvting, and not the extraneous condition of wealth. CONDUCTED ON THE ECONOMIC PRINCIPLE.

Lockwood of this city, delegate to the council from the Woman's National Press Association, read a studied and carefully prepared essay on the evolution of wowe erature. She began with Cleopatra and traced the history of women in letters down- ward. She enumerated and discussed » num- ber of women of ail time prominent in art and literature and took her hearers rapidly down through the ages and landed them in America in “woman's century.” MRS. CAROLINE §. THOMAS. “The Young Woman's National Mutual Im- provement Association” was the subject of a paper read by Mrs. Caroline 8. Thomas in a Jow tone. of voice so that not many in the andi- ence could hear it. The paper was devoted to 2 description of the methods and aims of the association. NATIONAL WOMAN'S RELIEF socTETY. Mrs. Jane 8. Richards and Mra. Emmeline B. Wella, delegates from the National Women’s Relief Society, made a few remarks about their society. which has its headquarters in Utah and branches in the neighboring states. ‘The so- ciety has a branch in nearly every village of Utah and vicinity as well as ia Norway, Samoa, Hawaii and other countries and a membersh 000. Notable results have been accom- plished in the advancement of women. MRS. CAROLYN Mf. BROWN. Mrs. Carolyn M.

ANTOINETTE VAN HOUSEN WAKEMA: hat do the signs of the times signify explained by Mrs Antoinette Van Housen Wakeman of the Chicago Post. “One of these signs,” she said, “tis the tendency toward or- gunized effort.” Organization has been the stroug uplifting power of all time, th i there is an unwarranted prejudice’ a no combination.

ESTELLE MH. MERRILL. Mrs. Estelle M. H.

Hunt, the well-known speaker and devoted specialist in securing scientific temper- ance education laws for the public schools of this country. Mrs. Hunt was detained from the council by this work and the day was the first one that ever secured the unanimous vote of any legislature. The chair- man of the Senate committee on education, Hon. Mr. Butler, said in his vigorous defense of the measure “the old north state has been famous for pitch, tar, turpentine and Kip Van Winkle legislation—let us now at one stroke move to the van of the republic for the good of our boysand girls.” the unanimous vote. Mrs. Hunt displays inher lectures a map with the few states that | important social organizations that have grown No school or other place | ts law passed yester- | nobl: “Women's clubs are almost invariably con- ducted on economic principles, and the expe- rience that comes from the care of the ways | and means is by no means one of the least ad- vantages that comes from club life. It has been said that the only thing necessary to make a woman a miser is to elect her treasurer of Soroxis. Sorosis is by no means the extrava- nt institution that it has sometimes been considered. ‘The annual dues are #5 and most of the members are professional and wage- earning women. itis always a satisfaction to Women to know what other women are doing and what ditticulties they are meeting with and overcoming. But I would be unfair did I not mention two * of Sorosis, the Association for the Advance- Women and the General Federation of Clubs. This latter union now has | ions represented in it in addi- ike, the Sorosis of Bomba e proceedings, and the | ures of “The Major” entertained the audience while a number of the late comers were finding their seats. MRS, HESTER M. POOLE. Mrs. Hester M. Poole of New York, also a member of Sorosis, made a few remarks on the matter of women’s ability to work togethe She cited but one example, that of Miss W lard, Miss Anthony and the other members and delegates from affiliated societies. Not a word has been spoken in the three years of the council's life, not a word has been spoken that would cause a single ripple of trouble or a pang of regret. MMS. CHARLOTTE EMERSON BROWN. Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Brown of N.J., president of the federation of woman's clubs, spoke interestingly on the subject, “The are changing civilization itself. In no way is this more cleariy seen than in the marked progress made by Women in recent years. ny col- leges in this country are opening their doors to Doth sexes alike and coeducation will soon be the rule. For a time there was opposition to woman's progress, but this change has come about with no disturbance. ‘The victory is won, and women. equally with men, are on tbe high- way to learning. Women’s organizations are a result of the fecling that women are entitled to a high education as well as men. Woman's in- terest and sympathy should be as broad as the world, and women have banded together for the advancement of what they know is the best for them. These organizations develope women much as the photographer's chemicals do the image on his sensitive plate, little by little ont of the darkness and shedow.until the figure ap- in its perfection. t is woman's place to form a healthy moral4 sentiment. Vice never flees away until a strong sentiment and feeling are brought to bear tit. Itis ber place to fight with evil and ization she feels the consciousness of power. Not only do they feel this power, but they are exercising it for good. Hundreds of capable women, but mndeveloped, have been awakened by these organizations into a knowl- edge of their own strength. They are clear and strong and against evildoers they are ar- reyed powerful asan army with banners. Woman's sphere has changed greatly in the past twenty-five years, and man’s estimation of woman has changed fully as much as her esti- mation of herself. Men realize the influence of women and they know the need of women. To- day men are stronger and better for what wo- men are doing in their organizations. As for church building and missionary work men would give up in despair if it were not for the women whodo the work. What women's or- gwnizations have dbne ix but the promise and the prelude of what is yet to be.” MES. FLORENCE BALGARNIE. Mrs. Florence Balgarnie of London, of the British Woman's Temperance Society and the | federation of trades unions, told of what organ- | ization has done for English women. “It has done,” said she, “about what organization has done’ for women in America. And yet. from what 1 have seen of American women I must say that organization has taught them more of religious toleration and sisterly love than it has with ws acrow the water. As representing various societies, I must outline for you but four of them, temperance association, local government association, political organization and the federation of trades unions for the welfare of women, a movement which is near- est to my heart. GREATER DRUNKARDS IX ENGLAND. “As a nation I think we are greater drank- ards than are you of America. This, I believe, is because we are under an aristocracy who have an interest in the maintenance of the liquor traffic. We are used to defeat and noth- ing succeeds like good defext. And if our bills for the enfranchisement of women are de- feated they are brought forward every time with unerring certainty. Even as it is we women have all the rights of the ballot pox sessed by the men, save that of the parliamen- vote. In political organizations I will speak of the liberal ones, witch small in numbers but big in brains, is I only 6 enthusiasm and — enterprise. am a thorough-going liberal will not speak of the Primrose League, which has over half a million women in its ranks. We hold lectures, meetings and we are not ashamed to hold sew- ing meetings, and as a result an immense amount of clothing goes to the poor evicted tenants of Ireland. We think it extremely ridiculous that we women are expected to help in the parliamentary elections aud yet are not given the pacliamenitary vote. We speak and we | canvass. Weare not bright enough to vote, but we are bright enough. it seems, to enlighten the men and to lead them to the polls. There isa certain element in parliament pledged to our cause. WOMEN'S TRADE UNIOXS. “And now, last but not least, let me speak of the federation of women’s trades unions. This, the care for the interest of the underpaid work- ing women, is the most important work that devolves upon ua. The condition of the unor- ‘women in @ mos ganized working m in England mt | ried on by women, and the o will be accorded for their comfort, and there is golien page in the records of woman's ad- ¥ Airs. Palmer extended a hearty invita- m to the council to hold its mext meeting in Chicago. 2 VINOINTA C. MEREDITH. Virginia C. Meredith of the board was intro- duced by Mrs. Potter to speak on the industrial side of the question. She prophesied at the onteet that the world’s fair would be one of the masterful forces in millenium. ‘The real place ern life is to consecrate money to its proper uses. The members of the board are practical women who are familiar with the interests of the wage earners. The opportunit to assist women in their work comes in from the article in the act that bids the board of ive prizes for articles wholly or in part the product of women. All the entry blanks for exhibite at fair contain the question as to whether the ticle is wholly or partly the work of women and out of the hundreds of thousands of entries being received at the Chicago office the ques- tion is answered almost always. PLAN OF THE WOMAN'S BUILDING. “We shall try to provide in the woman's building for all possible wants of women, hav- ing in view a bureau of information, with in- terpreters and guides for strangers, parlors and bale nies wears lates may rest and chat, an exhibitors’ club room, a model kitchen where demonstration Jesons mar be given, we hope ‘real without charge, a loan exhibit of coli Dutch, Scandinavian and other relics, recalling the carly history of onr country and the various nationalities from which we are sprung, and al:o of objects developed in the home by the taste of woman. One wing of the building will poesibly be devoted to showing the reform nd charitable organizations organized audcar- to the exhibit which will be sent by our auxiliary associations formed through the instrumentality of our foreign ministers in the countries to which they are accredited, and by means of which we shall be enabled to indicate the condition and attainments of women in every part of the worid. We shall also havo an administration Toom, committee rooms and an assembly room for ali lectures, congressesand assemblies which may be desired by women. 5 there will be probably shown some of the most brilliant achievements of woman's hand and brain. These will doubtless be, in many cases, duplicates of objects entered for competition in the general exhibit under the regular classi- fication, the duplicates being placed in our building to emp the fact that they are the work of Ota. the “In reading a list of the organizations repre- sented here 5A occurred to me that ve might obtain also, most unusual exhibit from the missionary stations in the inaccessible and un- frequented parts of the carth, and I beg the ladies representing missionary societies to re- alize that they may aid both themselves and us by showing the life and work of women in heathen countries. If a child widow, tor in- stance, from a Zenanna could be brought with her native dress and surroundings and the suf- fering and inhumanity to which she is sub- jected shown it would arouse such an interest in the subject as years of talk would not pro- duce. The native weaving, pottery, ornaments, costumes, household utensils, &c., from these countries would also be of the greatest interest and value.

M.D. LINCOLN. “The Powers and Possibilities of the Press” was the subject of a clever and able paper by Mrs. M. D. Lincoln of this city, president of the National Woman's Press Association, and Dr. Helen O'Learey of Boston described the Ladies’ Physiological Institute of that city. ‘This was the last paper of thy session, and after a few kindly remarks from Miss Willard “Blest Be the Tie That Binds” was sung, Mrs. Mary .

Will you not aid us with your experience and thought to show woman's work asa beautiful whole, with its animating spirit, and not asa mere mass of material? We wish the world’ irzof 1893 to be memorable as a great exhibition, greater than any which ever preceded it, but'we also wish its history to be a golden page in the annals of woman's advance- ment.

The eviction of the families of striking coal miners from the houses they occupied on the Marquis of Londonderry's and other property in the coal districts near Durham, England, was continued yesterday.
