THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN Mrs. Mussey Talks to the Federation of Clubs. Ne Property Rights in the District—Other Addresses and Business. At the afternoon or business session of the District Federation of Women’s Clubs yesterday an election was held which re- sulted in the choice of the following offi- cers for the ensuing year: President, Mrs. Ella M. S. Marbie; first vice president, Mrs. L. A. Crandell; secend vice president, Mrs. M. A. Griffith; secretary, Miss Mary F. Foster; treasurer, Mrs. H. B. Sperry; au- ditor, Mrs. Emily B. Coues. The principal feature of the evening ses- sion at the Church of Our Father was an address by Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey on the subject of “The Legal Status of Wo- men in the District.” In the course of her address Mrs. Mussey said: No Property Rights. “In the District cf Columbia a married woman has no property rights separate from her husband. Every man is ‘entitled to his wife’ ervices and her wages are his. No matter whether she is a lawyer or doctor, or belongs to any other profes- sion, & government employe, a merchant ora sherwoman, her earnings belong to her husband and are liable for his debts. ‘The marriage promise, ‘With all my world- ly goods I thee endow,’ means nothing on the man’s part until the bride becomes a widow, ard then she has the dowen right in his property, provided she has not al- ready joined him in incumbering real es- tate, a married woman in this District hav- ing no right of dower in an equity of re- demption. “In this District the child born in wed- lock is not the property of the mother. The father is the natural guardian, and if he dies before the child is fourteen and can choose a natural guardian for itself, he can name its guardian without regard to the mother, And this is the case even with an unborn child, apd the mother may be forced to give it into the care of a stranger. Every man, woman and child of this Dis- trict has c: jevoutly thank God that the District judiciary is composed of hon- est, upright fen, who recognize the law of nature betwcen mother and child as the law of God, and refuse, whenever they can, to regard the man-made laws, which are a relic of the dark ages. Repeatedly bills and petitions have been presented to Congress looking to a change and improvement in these laws, but they have always died in the session. Yet this is a matter of very general business inter- est. Woman cften controls a very large imcunt of capital, but she cannot do busi- ness, as no cne will trust her. If her hus- band is incapacitated for business without being killed, his wife cannot continue the business, no matter how lucrative or im- portant it may te, and is forced to either sink to the position of an employe, if need be, y. or, if more fortunate, mus‘ invest her capital in enterprises in which she has no directing power, and at a much smeller int than she might earn in her own busines: “The District Federation of Women's Clubs represents 2,500 women, and we are pledged to exert our united forces in pro- curing laws that will give women in thi District the same property rights as men.” Other Business. Mrs. Mussey’s address was followed by a skort talk by Gen. Eaton. Reports were received from all the clubs of the federa- tion and were presented as follows: Wo- ational Press tion, Mrs. H. . Sperry: Pro Re Nata, Mrs. Lucia E. Blount; Legion of Loyal Women, Mrs. ; District Woman's Suff -elsior I Loyal Women of D. La Fet Mr ty ington Kindergarten Ca Pollock.

Two of the latest acqui- tions, she said, were the Loyal Women of American Liberty and the W ashington Kindergarten Club. ——._—_ BENNING ASSOCIATION. Matters of Interest Discussed at Last Night's Meeting. When Vice President Mewshaw called the Benning Citizens’ As: tion to order Tuesday evening every officer was present except the secretary and sergeant-at-arms. Mr. G. M. Clinedinst was admitted to mem- bership, and after the minutes of the last meeting were read and approved the chair- man of the road committee reported that he had seen Mr. T. J. King, master me- chanic of the Columbia Railway Company, who reported that Benning road from 15th h street would be paved with granite “ks by the company as soon as the was established and the Commission- ers granted them authority to go ahead. He was reported to haye said that the com- anxious to get at the work, and that not one minute would be lost after a ved from President Baker's On moticn of Mr. Broome, the re- accepted. Phos. E.

Cizrk spoke in opposition to ne or @lectric road, but Messrs. Mewshaw and others thought an line would furnish just what the ff Bennirg wanted—rapid transit— y the whole matter was left with 1 committee. Under the head of new business Mr. Meaney thought the raijroad committee should take up the question of the appoint- ment of a ccmpetent watchman at the Bal- timore and Potomac crossing, and after a full discussion of the subject it was agreed that the railroad committee should ask that 2 competent man be employed to man- age the gates. ‘The president of the association brought up the question of driving stock over Ben- ning road at all hours of the day and night, and after a full dis: in which it was shown that the p: ctice dan- gerous to life and , it was, on motion of Mr. Broome, decided to instruct the road committee to take up the question and ask the Commi oners to adopt the same regu- lations in reference to Benning road as are in force in the city. On motion, Mr. 8. people R. Hipsley was taken back into the assoc ion, after which Mr, J. S. Mewshaw, secretary-treasurer of the Union for Practical Progress, spoke at some length on the work of the union and its duty in educating people up to a higher physical, remarks were listened to attentively, and then, on motion, the monthly topic of the union, “Home Life,” was ordered to be taken’ up and discussed on the evening of April 23, after which the meeting ad- journed.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Some recent newspaper discussions con- cerning the school question bring to at- tention a matter that is receiving consid- eration in other cities, and should in our own. In order to form any intelligent idea of the subject it is necessary to know the facts pertaining to the cost of instruction in the several grades, and the number of pupils, teachers and schools. The report of the board of trustees for 1893-'94, which, of course, the average parent and taxpay- er does not see, has this information scat- tered over a large number of pages, and to avoid the trouble of searching through these various tables, I have compiled from the official report a condensed table com- bining the substan¢e of those tables which are of value to the present inquir FSES| S222) = amet Freer| F | | Ryde | aang! 3 22831282312 RRSR 2265) 2 ;eses| Fa5s| 5 > Sas eS Q a |: ay | a3 3 ga | 22 8 g8 | 25 3 aa gs & | 53 *quowfjoIUa eToU.A. uu pa {Ydud 40d 4809} ded 4809 have new to extend the half-day pm to make it include thirty-two third grade schools and eight fourth grade schools.

Refore answering the question it w be well to consider the statistics briefly, be- cause the proposition is affected by other Lets. he first thing that is noticeable is the small enrollment in the High Schools or only 6.0¢ per cent—which is less than one-third the enrollment in the first gradi in other words, in the High Si have Ss against S446, or cent, in the first grade schools. duct the enrollment of the Business High School—476—the difference is materially in- creased. But even including the latter, it is a pertinent fact that not one-third of those who enter the first grade ever reach the High Schools, and only one-half of those who reach the fourth grade go to the High School: ‘age number of pupils to a school 78 per If we de- Schools, 25.5, and in the first more than twice as many.

Something a little more practical than Latin, Greek, zoology d English history could be advantageo taught, especially’ something conéerning American history, Constitution and government, which it is stated in the report “as a matter of re- gret,” has not heretofore been taught in the High School proper.
