RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED The international congress of penwomen, which has been in session since Thursday at Willard’s Hotel, spent the greater part of this morning in discussing the various papers presented by the members of the association. = Sunday journals was the principal sub- Ject during the early hours of the session, the discussion being led by Mrs. Ciara B. Colby, editor of the Woman's Tribune. A number of the members of the association took part. : Among the papers was one on “The Out- come of Press Congresses,” by Mrs. H. B. Sperry, the retiring president of the As- Mrs. Cromwell. sociation. This was followed by a paper on “A Bird's-eye View of Woman's Pro- gress," which was read by Mrs. M. F. O. Evans of Rhode Island. Papers were also read by Mrs. Minnie B. Horning of Chicago, Mrs. Holien E. Day of St. Louis and Mrs. King of Atlanta, after which a number of greetings were re- ceived from foreign members, and the con- vention adjourned until 2 9’ciock, when Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood tovk the chair. When the convention reassembled, Mrs. Anne Virginia Culbertson, the dialect poetess, recited two interesting composi- tions, one “A Talk on American Folk Capi- tal Lore,” the other, “The Origin of the Uncle Remus Tales." A paper on copy- right, which had been prepared by Thomas G. Alvord of the Library of Congress, was read by Miss Cynthia E. Cleveland. Mrs. Daniel Lothrop, known in the pen world as “Margaret Sidney,” read a paper on “The Mission of the American Novel.” The following papers were disposed of by the congress during the afternoon: ‘Artistic in Fiction,” by Mrs. May Whitney Em- merson; ‘Women in Journalism, Past and Present,” a paper by Ruth Word Kahu of Leadville, Col., and a poem to American journalists, by Mrs. Kate Tannatt Woods of Salem, Mass. With the afternoon session the interna- tional congress of penwomen came to a close. Tonight at 8 o'clock the Woman's National Press Association will give a re- ception for the international congress at the Strathmore Arms, 1101 K street north- west. Mrs. Lockwood Leads. At the session yesterday afternoon the congress was called to order by Mrs. Sperry, and Mrs. Belva Lockwood was call- ed upon to lead the discussion upon th subject, “Is Organization Beneficial to Press Women?” Mrs. Lockwood brought out many good thoughts along the line of unity of purpose, and united action for any good object desired. Mrs. Gist was the next speaker, and was follow2d by Mrs. Emily Edson Briggs, “Olivia,” who wi called upon by the chair, and gave many reminiscenses of the early struggles of wo- men to gain a place in the newspaper world. Recital of expriences followed by Mrs. Cromwell, Mrs. M. 8S. Lockwood and Mrs. H. B. Sperry. The next question was “What Does Mrs. Leggett Mean by an Active Journalist?” Her answer was that any one who is really engaged in newspap2>r work is an active journalist. She very clearly defined the grades of work, and the climbing of the journalistic ladder. Mrs. Hollen E, Day told how some of the Missouri women have climbed s2veral rounds of that ladder. At this point a report on resolutions was in- troduced, and unanimously adopted. The Resolutions Adopted. The resolutions set forth that “the inter- national congress of press women in con- gress assembled at Washington, D. C., deeply deplores the recent loss of the bat- tle ship Maine in the harbor of Havana, With 250 of her trusted officers and men. Most of the victims were young men who had volunteered to protect our commercial interests there and shelter American refu- gees who are fleeing from the horrors of war in that unhappy and now almost deso- late island; and while our sympathy goes out to Captain Sigsbee and the surviving officers and crew we are deeply moved with earnest compassion for the mothers, wid- ows and orphans now weeping in desolate homes for these men so suddenly callec from time to eternity.” Touching the death of Miss Willard it was declared “that in the death of Miss Frances E. Willard, president of the W. C. T. U., not only has that organization suf- fered a great and irreparable loss, but the cause of temperance, social purity, edu- cation, morality and religion will miss her guiding hand and masterly thought, and the nation and the world will mourn for a great and noble spirit passed away.” It was directed that a copy of the reso- lution be sent to the family and friends of Miss Willard. The hour having arrived for Mrs. Leg- gett’s paper, “Journalism as an Art,” it was cal'ed for by the presiding officer and read by Mrs. Leggett. It was a didactic essay, with many beautiful points. Mrs. A. E. Scammon dealt with “The Unrestrained Freedom of the Press.” She advocated keeping private affairs from the public eye, and suppressing the details of murder trials. She called for a clean, a courteous press. Session of Last Evening. Last night's session was held in the audi- torlum of the Columbian University. The auditorium was elaborately draped with flags, and presented a patriotic aspect when Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood came for- ward and introduced Dr. B. L. Whitman. Seated upon the platform were Mrs. E. 8. Cromweil, Mrs. H. B. Sperry, Mrs. Mary S. Gist, Mrs. Mary M. North, Mrs. May W. Emerson, Miss Frances G. French, Mrs. Elroy Avery, Mrs. Wm. Frye and Mr. Frank Mondell. Dr. Whitman called forth rounds of ap- plause from the audience as he heartily welcomed the members of the international congress of press women. At the close of the address Mrs. Elroy Avery was intro- duced, and in an interesting paper told how our forefathers got the news. An- nouncement was made that the paper of Mr. John Russell Young would be pre- sented at another meeting. Mrs. Lockwood sald: “Occasionally ‘Maine was heard from ‘on the hill,’ but tonight a daughter of Maine would be heard from here.” She presented Mrs, Frye, wife of who ga’ he mentioned one club of thirty members, Bil of whom were women. Their object is to preserve the traditions of their tribe. Mra, Frye said: “For many years Maine has been the nurserys of great »men-and god women.” "She th dosed telling of the growth of the movement.
