SOME WHO WILL TALK ————— Within the next week there will be a gathering of notable women in Washing- ton. From all over the United States these women will gather to talk in convention assembled of reforms in religion, temper- ance, philanthropy, industry, education and politics, and last, but certainly not least, the much discussed reform in dress. The gathering is better known to the blic as the second triennial session cf National Council of Women of the United States. The object of this associa- tion, as defined by the council catechism, is to make better known to the general pub- lic the magnitude and variety of woman's work fer humanity; to avoid the multipli- on of organizations each with some one special object; to bring together wo- men of all lines of work, and to give the united influen of all these women to such general lines of work as all can heartily agree upon. There is but one way for individuals. to become affiliated with the council. Individuals are excluded from the sociation because its members are organi: put they can become patrons of the council upon the payment of a $1 fee, which is also the fee of an organiza- tion. At the gathering next week there will be present a large number of patro as well as accredited delegates. The pa- ns of the council are: Mary Newbury Towa; Prof. Rasmus B. Anderson, sconsin; Susan B.

While discussions upen the topics named above will take place as representing the ideas ot various organizations, yet the council itself has prosecuted four gen- eral lives of work. The first is qual pay for equal work,” the council working for the enactment of a law providing that no distinction of sex shall be made in the pay- ment of the employes of the governr the second, divorce reform, claimed right of representation by the women upon any commissions relating to the divorce laws of the various states. Improved dress forms the thi » and it is stated gned by the best try, pledging the if women, to give their intluen n improvement in women’s dress, shall be in the line of more freedom for the body and shall possess more ar- tistic beauty than does the present style of i nd if men, to lend their influence and countenance to the effort of women to cure for their sex a healthful and con- venient dress for work and exercise. A plan now before the council is the offer of a prize in meney for the best essay on the subject of dress reform. Fourth in the list is patriotic instruction, which has for its object the disseminating of patriotic in- struction among the children of the schools throughout the country. Frances Willard will be in attend- e committee on dress is composed . Annie ane, and Frank Stuart Leland Stanford, Lucia fary Desha will represent the 1 pay for equal work: Dietrick, Mary A.

Friends of the Spencerian Business Col- lege, as well as a large number of the members of the Women’s Christian Tem- perance Union and their followers, assem- bled last evening in Metzerott’s Hall to hear a debate on the resolution that the use of alcoholic liquor is injurious, demor- alizing and destructive to the individual, the family, the community, and the na- tion, and that its manufacture and sale as a beverage should be prohibited by law under heavy penalties. The debate, which was the chief attraction of the evening, was supplemented by a literary and musi- cal program of unusual merit. The enter- tainment opened with a song, by Mr. R. Clinton Ballinger, which was’ enthusias' cally encored. A’ recitation, entitled, “A Girl of the Period,” by Mr. Henry W. Samson, was appreciated, and then the popular Philharmonic Quartet and Mrs. Harriet Mills sang the “Old Oaken Buck- et,” arranged for a quintet, by Mr. Arthur Perey Harris, in their inimitable usual style. Of course, the rendition met with very great favor and the vocalists were forced to respond to a double encore. Mr. Percy S, Foster, the well-known leader of the Moody Choir, was booked for a solo, and he preceded’ his number by request- ing the audience to join in the chorus, adding that he had made that condition when he agreed to appear. The gathering was agreeable, and “Throw Out the Life Line” rang out in a rousing manner. The time had now arrived for the de- bate, which was in response to an invita- tion of the District of Columbia W. C. T. U. Mr. Henry C. Spencer of the District of Columbia, as chairman of the discus- sion, preceded eleven speakers, who took geats on the stage. Mr. Spencer, in a brief introductory speech, referred ' pleasantly to those who wete to participate in the de- bate. The openitig\was made by Mr. Lewis c. Brown of NewYork, for the affirma- tive. According to* the printed program the next speaker Was James S. Smyth of Virginia, but Mr. eh read a telegram fT from that person, fn which it was stated that travel wad ‘Wocked here,” wherever he may have ‘Been.‘and he requested, if no objections were offered, that Mrs. Spencer would read thé ntdin points of his argu- ment in the regative, he having left his paper with the held of the college. Mrs. Spencer state® that she never expected that any combination of circumstances would arise xmder? which she would be obliged to appear publicly or otherwise in the defense of the liquor traffic, but in order that thére might be no injustice done the negative debaters, she read the paper. Mr. Albert A. Colburn of the District of Yolumbia “next rose in behalf of the af- firmative, and Mr. AVilliam 8. Stamper of Virginia followed Bim. The other sp evs were Miss Anna M. Hays of Nebras' Mr. Alister S. Langille of Maryland, Miss Louise S. Reichmann of New York, and Mr. Hesselman of Ilin the affirmative, and Miss Agnes Sleavin > William W. Blakiston Alice P. Bell of Ma H. Riddleberger of Virginia, for ‘The remarks of Mr. Riddleberger were particularly spirited, but all the speakers were warmly applauded. The arguments advanced, pro and con, were interesting, and, in some Instances, highly amusing. The resolution was submitted to the au- dience on the merits of the debate, and then on the merits of the question. The result was a majority vote in favor of the affirmative upon the merits of the debate and a unanimous vote in favor of the reso- lution on its own merits. The Philharmonic Quartet, comprising Mrs. Anna Craig-Hills and Miss Grace ne McCullough, sopranos, and Miss Si- monds and Miss Stidham, contraltos, again appeared and sang a double number, ‘Go, Weep as I Have Wept,”” and “Brother, Come Home.” The selections were sung in a superior manner and then a laughable farce, entitled “A Pair of Gloves.” with Miss Martha A. Hey. Mr. Walter W. Mis- cheaux, Mr. H.-C. Spencer, Mr. William B. Colburn and Miss Arleville Pittman in the cast, brought the enjoyable evening to @ close. A VIGOROUS PROTEST. The Annoying Frequency of Transfers for Eckington Passengers, Mrs. Ruth G. D. Havens, president of the Wimodaughsis, has written a communi- cation to the Commissioners stating that the proposed system of transfers offers no relief whatever to the residents of her section, who, she says, suffer from “the imbecile management of a transportation company which does not transport—the E. and S. H. railroad—electric’ and slow horse,” thereby ‘referring to the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home road. She says that she lives at M street northwest, and is obliged. to go to the Treasury Department every morning. To do so over the Ecking- ton and Soldiers’ Home road she is obliged to make two transfers, and, what with the long wait at the transfer points and the slow progress of the cars, it takes a fuli hour every morning to go by the cars, while she is able to walk it in forty min- utes. She details a number of her recent experiences during the present bad weath- er, and tells how frequently she has been compelled to get,out and foot it in order to save time. She says that many people in her neighborhood never think of riding on the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home railroad, because they have not enough leisure for that luxury. She says that for a time one car in the morning went through from Eckington to the treasury, but ,that has been discon- tinued, and the sutfurban passengers, after waiting fifteen-to~eighteen minutes for a car, must waif fiye to eight minutes at Convention Hall for a horse car. Then at G street and 5th gomes another wait for the Capitol Hfit ir. If one lives on 4th street and New York avenue and desires to go to the patent office it takes three cars to travel the six squares. Mr: Havens says she often waits fifteen min- utes for a trofley car at Convention Hall. “The only trapsfers that could help our section,” says Mrs. Havens, “would be from the trolley at 7th street to the cable and to the Coiunshia line, and when the North Capitol line is ready to transport, from that to the Cplumbia at H street. A transfer from 5th to F street. as offered, is of no advantage to us, and they know it. That ts why they propose it. We should still have to ride, on three cars, make three shelterlcéss waits, and walk one square at the end to get to the treasury.” peraees nae Under the Four-Fold Pledge.

CARROLLS WILL WIN Columbias Take Second Place in the Bowling Tournament. PREPARING FOR THE TENNIS SEASON This Evening’s Basket Ball Game e Postponed. SPORTING TOPICS >————— CURRENT Below are the bowling scores made in the District League tournament last night at the Carroll Institute in the match be- tween the home team and the team of the Washington Athletic Club. The contests were close, but the team totals are low. For the Carrolls Armstrong did the best bowling. He bowled down 486 pins in his triplet st-ing, and he also made the excellent run of 207 pins, the highest single game of the evening. Capt. Kidd of the Washingtons did fine bewling for his team. He bowled down pins, the best serial run of the even- ng, and also made 194 pins, the highest single game for his team. The Carrolls for the evening bowled a 2,203 pins, and the Washingtons got pins to their credit. ‘This is the closest set of games for the season. The lead of the Carrolls cannot now be overcome.

Basket Ball Postponed, The basket ball game scheduled for this evening at the Washington Light Infantry Armory, with the Carroll Institute team as visitors, has been postponed until Monday next. Owing to a decision of the infantry corps’ board of managers, future contests in the armory nist terminate at 7:30 p. m. This action is the result of the enthu- siasm displayed in a recent game, which interfered with the performance going on in the theater abov ATH INTERCOLLEGL xpresxes Himscif he Ex-Provost Pepper as Friend Dr. Pepper, ex-provost of Pennsy University, has this to say for athletic sports: “Another feature of university life has attracted so much attention and has come to hold such important relations to academic work that its regulation has properly occupied the serious consideration of your board. I refer to athletic sports, in the various branches of which our stu- dents have for several years shown such irterest and skill as to rapidly carry the | university colors to the front. It is obvious that there are grave risks connected with these sports; risks of bodily injury to the participants, especially in the more violent games, such as foot ball; risks of interfer- ence with important studies, owing to the excessive claims of the practice and train- | ing required or to the unduly frequent absences incident to the .umerous matches; risks of loss of tone and character from the spirit of professionalism or of unfair- ness which partisan zeal may admit, or from the bad surroundings encountered at some of the more exciting games. These risks must be recognized and admitted. “Yet Iam forced to state, after careful and prolonged observation, that the net results of intercollegiate ‘athletic sports m to me to be enormously on the side of good, and of good scarcely attainable in other ways; While the evils incident seem capable of great amelioration by proper systems of restraint and super- vision, The rules which should govern each sport can be fixed only by conferences of experienced and high-toned players. The ey to which students may be permit- ted to engage in such contests requires the judgment of the director of physical edu- cation and of the several professors who are familiar with the individuals concern- ed. The exclusion of professionalism and unsportsmanlike practices and the restric- tion of the temptations incident to certain contests demand the enactment and the rigid enforcement of adequate rules. The details of these questions are numerous and imes complicated; they cannot be dis- ed to advantage in a general way. If the authorities of h institution are in earnest in promoting the good and eliminating the evils of intercollegiate ath- letic sports, I have such rooted confidence in the good tone of American students as a body as to make me assured that satis- factory results will be attained. The ac- tion taken by your board in February, 1S)4, was to establish and provide with adequate authority a committee, consist- ing of representatives of each faculty and of the Athletic Association. The comp: tion of the committee insured the imme- diate acceptance of its authority and fair- ness. The set of rules adopted by them and promptly enforced throughout the uni- versity exerted an obviously happy effect and has received widespread approval.” LAWN TENNIS. Annual Meeting of the United States Association. The United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tion held its fifteenth annual meeting at the Waldorf Hotel, New York, Thursday night. James Dwight of Boston, presi- dent of the association, was absent, and the Philadelphia expert, Joseph 8. Clark, presided. The usual reports were received and the entire board of officers were re- elected for 1895. Then a lively skirmish took place over the adoption of the report of the execu- tive committee, which recommended the adoption of the old official ball. Various manufacturers were in the field with sub- stitutes, but the committee's report. was adopted. There were two competitors for the honor of holding the ladies’ champion- ships, the Philadelphia_Cricket Club being opposed by the Staten Island Ladies’ Club. The Philadelphians carried the day by a vote of 31 to 20. The New Jersey state championship went to the Merion Cricket Club, and the east, west and eastern doubles went to rra- ganse(t Pier. The singles championship will, as usual, be held at Newport. The executive committee will arrange the dates and zn the championships. ‘The list of officers elected is as follows: President, Dr. James Wight of Boston; vice president, Joseph S. Clark of Phila- phia; treasurer, Valentine G. Hall of New York; secretary, Joseph T. Whittle- sey of New Haven.
