Subjects of Importence to Be Treated by Leading B of the Sex. ase e esentatives The congress of women, acting under the auspices of the board of women mana- gers of the cotton states and international exposition, propose# ‘to hold a series of meetings representing the organized work of women throughout the country. Their congresses, beginning early in September, and closing with the closing day of the fair, December 31, promise a continued series of interesting sessions, including or- ganized work along all lines. Most of the organizations, like the Daughters of the American Revolution, General Federation of Women’s Clubs, Woman's Christian Temperance Union, King’s Daughters, etc., will hold meetings of from one to two days in length. ‘The members of the National Council are societies and not individuals. On account of the great number of organizations which it includes, ahd, therefore, the great number of interests and phases of work to be presented in {ts conferences, the Na- ticnal Council of Women is the only or- ganization which will occupy an entire week. They will be in charge of the offi- cers of the council, of which Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickinson is president. Its meetings will begin on the 7th and continue during the 12th of October. A portion of each af- texnoon will be occupied with presentations of the work of the organizations forming the council, which may be classified under the heads of education, religion, philan- thropy, industry, moral reform, govern- ment and the home. Some of the Subjects to Be Considered Among the subjects to be discussed are the “Significance of the Red Cross Move- ment,” by Clara Barton; ‘‘The Education of the Future,” by Prof. Helen L. Web- ster of Wellesley Colles ‘Woman's Prob- lems in Practical Philanthropy,” by Mar- garet Wickins, superintendent of the Illl- nois Industrial School for Girls; ‘Woman's Position in the Industrial World,” by Helena T. Goessman; “The Influence of Home and Foreign Mission Work upon Woman's Development,” by Emeline Burl- ingame Cheney; “Education in Citizen- ship,” by Kate Brownlee Sherwood; ‘‘Wo- man's Place in Government,” by J. Ellen Foster. One day will be given to special council topics, and will be occupied by addresses from the members of the cabinet of the council, among which may be named: “The Function of the Cabinet,” by May Wright Sewall, former president of the council; “The Relation of Art and Litera- ture to Woman's Progress,” by Frances E. Bagley of Detroit; “The Relation of Home to Woman's Work in Organization,” by Rachel Foster Avery, and “The In- fluence of Woman on Religious Progress,” by Mary Newbury Adams of Iowa. Interest in Local Councils. The subject of local cotincils will be dis- cussed by Josephine .R. Nichols of Indian- apolis and other prominent leaders of local council work, including the presidents of local councils in Montreal and in various cities of the United States. It Is expected that the work of the Na- tional Council of Women of Canada, of which Lady Aberdeen is president, ‘will be presented. Judging from the congress of represen- tative women during the world’s fair in Chicago, and from; the great Interest in the mectings of the lest triennial held in Washington, these seesions In Atlanta will be largely attended, most intelligently ap- preciated, and will prove one of the most attractive features of the exposition. PRESIDENT PR THE BUTTON. It Was After 6 O'CIick When He Start- ed the Exposition Machinery. President Cleveland, in his Gray Gables cottage yesterday evening, between 6 and 7 o'clock, pressed the electric button that started the machinery of the Atlanta expo- sition, Almost immediately after the Pres- ident had exerted the required pressure up- on the button word was telegraphed back that the wire had worked perfectly. Short- ly before this time the President's evening mail was brought Into the room, and, pick- ing up an evening paper—one served by the United Press—Mr. Cleveland’s eye fell upon a heavily-leaded article on the first page, announcing that he had pressed the button at 2 p.m, The President read aloud some lines of the article with manifest disap- proval, as at that moment it was several hours past the time mentioned in the ar- ticle. Just before 5 o'clock the following mes- sage came to the President from the com- mittee on ceremonies at Atlanta: To Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, Gray Gables: The committee on ceremonies are in- structed by the president and director gen- eral, and by the board of directors, to ex- press to the President their high apprecia- tion of, and thanks for, the great interest the President has shown, both in this and on other occasions, in behalf of the success of the cotton states and international ex- position. Under the guidance of the hand of President Cleveland, one of the most im- portant commercial and industrial efforts ever attempted in our section has now start- ed on {ts career for the upbuilding of our material interests by closer commercial re- lations with all portions of our country and with sister republics south of us. The mingling of practical people from all sec- tions, made possible by the President's ap- proval and aid to our efforts, will render future ill between the sections tmpossille. (Signed) RUFUS B. BULLOCK, Chairman. ‘This dispatch was accompanied by the re- quest that President Cleveland's reply be gent to Atlanta before the button should be pressed, in order that the President's mes- sage might be read to the assemblage be- fore the dpening of the exposition. ‘he following message was seut from Gray Gables: To the President and Board of Directors of the Cotton States and International Ex- position, Atlanta, Ga.: Fully appreciating the value and imipor- tance of the exposition Inaugurated today, I am especially gratified to be related to its inception and progress, and to participate in Its opening ceremonies. I sincerely con- gratulate those whose enterprise and en- ergy have accomplished such splendid re- sults, and heartily wish the exposition they have set on foot will be completely suc- cessful in con ene ‘all the good re- sults contemplated by promoters, (Signed) GRO’ QPEVELAND. The Colored Man 4 ke Hest. A dispatch from ‘Atlanta, Ga., sent last night, say: 2 is The feature of th Gay'stexercises, about which everybody is:talking; !s the admira- ble address of Booker T. Washington, prin- cipal of the colored Normal and Industrial school at-Tuskegee, Ala, Ptof. Washington was accorded the most respectful hearing by the great audience, composed almost en- tirely of whites, and his points were cheer- ed as the speech of a noe? perhaps was never cheered befote in the south. The opinion is freely expressed that his was the speech of the day. «7 —S Railroad Land Grants. Acting Secretary of the Interior Reynolds has approved, as a basis for patent, land lists submitted by the following named railroads: Clear lists 10 and 11 of the New Orleans Pacific railway, aggregating 39,706 acres; clear lists 7 and 13 of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, aggre- gating 231 acres; clear list 3 of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern rall- way, for 240 acres. ———+e+ Used to the Symptoms.

In the raflway station: “Officer, there's a man cyer there in a fit.” “What's he doing?” “He's standing by a docrway, rolling his eyes horritly and gasping for breath.” “Oh, he's all right; he’s a suburban resi- dent who has had a run for his train." AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA Candidates for the Legislature Announcing Themselves. Many Prisoners Tried and Sentenced im the Mayor’s Court—Hayden in Trouble Again. Colonel Louis C. Barley, a ‘member of Governor O’Ferrall’s staff and one of the most promising young lawyers in this city, has announced himself a candidate for the house of delegates, and his elec- tion fs a safe prediction. Mr. W. H. May has already announced himself and has been working hard for the nomination for some time. The present incumbent is Mr. Charles Bendheim, but up to the present time he has not said whether he will try for the nomination or not. Colonel Barley 1s exceedingly popular, not only in this city, but throughout the state, and his nomination would be eminently satisfac- tcry to a large number of people. Cer- tainly a more brilliant or substantial man could not be found to represent this dis- trict. Hayden in Trouble Again. William Hayden, the young man who was arrested some time ago and fined for im- personating a port warden, is in the toils again. This time he is charged with re- Heving Mr. J? Daingerfield Brookes of $1 and with injuring and defacing the steam yacht Gertie, the property of Mr. W. A. Joly. It appears that Hayden has several times, threatened to ruin the Gertie, and yesterday it was discovered that some one had totally disabled her by removing the steam pipes and valves and otherwise cut- ing and breaking the engine. Hayden was immediately suspected, and his arrest fol- lowed. The case came up before Mayor Thompson this morning, but was postponed until 7 o'clock tonight, on account of the absence of several important witnesses. Fifth Anniversary. The fifth anniversary of Alexandria Coun- cil, No. 33, Junior O. U. A. M., will be cel- ebrated at Odd Fellows’ Hall, on North Columbus street, tonight. A program which will excel anything in that line heretofore attempted by Alexandria Council has been arranged, and a delightful evening will be spent. The orator of the evening will be Mr. Frank E. Anderson, chief of the law department of the pension bureau. Belle Haven end Jas. T. Jackson Councils will attend In a body. Mayor's Court. James Cilft, white, was sent to the work- house for thirty days for being drunk on the street. «Dennis Daley, white, was fined $2.50 for the same offense. Wm.

Just how the fire originated could not be ascertained. FIRED AND RAN AWAY. Police Looking for a Man Who Shot at Mrs. Saroh Klink. The police authorities of the second pre- cinct are looking for a young negro man known to his associates by the name of “Shafe,” who on last Monday night shot at Mrs. Sarah Klink, a white-woman, who keeps a small grocery store in the alley between Ist and North Capitol streets and L and Pierce streets northwest. The shoot- ing was not reported to the officers until last night, when the policeman on duty heard cf it. The negro is known to them ard they hope to capture him soon. The trouble occurred about 11 o'clock Monday evening, when Mrs. Klink, with several of her children, were sitting in front of her little place of business enjoying the fresh air, The negro, “Shafe,” who Is spoken of as an habitual drunkard and loafer, was walking up the alley called Snow’s row. He was somewhat the worse from the Nquor ne hed been imbibing during the day and that night, and staggering up to where Mrs. Klink ‘and the children were sitting, he looked around, and with @ vicious remark seized the chair in which the youngest of the children was sitting, at the same time attempting to throw its occupant to the ground. The child grasped the chalr and screamed. Tne mother of the child jumped from her seat and order- ed the man to leave the chair alone and go away from her place. The negro told her h2 wanted to sit down and proposed to have the chair, Then he walked to the other side of the alley, and drawing a pis- tol, fired one shot in the direction of the group. The fellow was not more than fif- teen or twenty feet away from the people he was shooting at, but the ball did not hit any one. When the shot was fired the whole neigh- borhcod was aroused, and in a moment the alley was filled with men and women, most- ly colored people. All was excitement, and while the crowd was endeavoring to find out what the matter was the offender ran up the alley and made his escape. The family at whcm he had shot were too thoroughly frightened to talk and immediately went indoors and locked up thelr house. They do not speak English very intelligibly, so that the officers to whom they reported the matter had quite a difficult task getting at the details of the affair. The man who fired the shot is described as a good-sized fellow, about twenty years old, but no one seems to know his. name, as ““Shafe” is the only designation he ever aims in that vicinity. sien ae Dr. Purvis’ Boom. There was a meeting of District repub- lcans last evening at Abraham's Hall, 15th street extended, Meridian Hill, at which a boom for Dr. C. B. Purvis, as delegate to the coming republican national con- vention, was inaugurated. W.-G. Smith presided, and the meeting was addressed by E. Blake, Dr. Purvis and T. L. Jones. Dr. Purvis has been a delegate before, and last evening he called attention to an al- leged promise on the part of Col. Perry Carson to retire this time in his favor. Dr. Purvis last evening declared that the people here were in favor of home rule, and he criticised the President's appoint- ment of Mr. C. H. J. Taylor of Kansas as District recorder of deeds. —._—_ 'To Enforce Judgmen A Dill in equity was filed today by Jas. EB. Padgett and Edwin Forrest, doing business as Padgett & Forrest, against Frank 1.
