from St. Lou it Globe-De nocrat.
Chicago, June 39.—in one of the hall
wnvg a t world’s fair headquarters there is
the frequent flutter of skirts, and through
the doors can be seen the appearance of
great activity. The amiable secretary, Mr.
Dickinson, engaged in polite and diplomatic
argument with some aggressive lady is ono
of the daily sights. Having created the
board of lady managers, the national com
mission is finding a good deal of difficulty
in laying out work for it. By the officers of
the commission the board is regarded as a
great success. If you ask Secretary Dick
inson how the ladies are getting ou ho vrill
sav, “splendidly.”
’•‘But what are they doing?”
“Oh, they are arcusing great interest in
the fair among ladies ail over the country.
I believe the woman’s building will be the
most interesting thing at the fair.”
There -eems to be no doubt about the in
dustry of the lady managers in stirring up
things. The act of congress authorized the
lady managers and left it to the national
commission to decide upon the number. The
only work for the ladv managers set out in
the law was that they should liavo represen
tation on the committees to make awards
where articles were wholly or in part the
product of woman’s labor. As tho readiest
chsp sitiou of the matter, tho commis
sioners decided that each one of them
should appoint n lady manager. The
commisssoners for California got together
and appointed each other’s mother-in-law
bi be lady manager for that state. The
commissioners from Oklahoma appointed
each other’s wives. One of the commis
sioners from Texas appointed his own wife
to be a lady manager and his alternate com
missioner’s wife to be the alternate lady
manager. The policy of keeping a good
thing in the family was pursued by some of
the other commissioners, who chose from
among sisters and cousins and aunts. But
whin the ladv managers came together they
developed groat capacity for work. They
appointed girl pagos. Two little maidens
stood at the door holding a bright-colored
ribbon across the entrance. A proposition
was brought before the board for consider -
ation. One lady manager moved to lay it
on the table. The motion was put and
carried. Thereupon a charming girl page
took the document, carried it across the
room, and carefully “laid It
on the table.” The discussion upon
the proposition proceeded os if nothing had
happened. A wicked male reporter asked to
see the document. He was told that that
was impossible, as the board bad just or
dered it laid on the table and it couldn’t be
taken nu without a vote. The reporter
snickered. The lady managers looked
severe. The young man got up and walked
out in disgrace, with difficulty getting over
the ribbon stretched across the door.
Many interesting Stories are told of the
lady managers, but everybody admit* their
willingness to work and to “stir up things."
One of the first suggestions offered from the
lady managers was that they should “at
once appoint concurrent committees corre
epouding to those ol the commission, and,
later, sub-committees, whose members
should be Invited to sit with the committees
of the commission at every session.” The
ladies further suggested “that the members
of tho board of lady managers from each
state 9hould, at joint sessions of tbe com
mission and local board, occupy -eats ad
joining, with extra seats reserved for
friends, to be invited from time to time, as
deemed desirable.”
The idea of the ladies was set fourth in a
memorial complimentry to the commission.
“In deciding that turee women should
come from each state and territory and
from the District of Columbia you have
nobly remembered that woman shared
with man the dangers and hardships in the
p ineer period ot this country, hits taken
with him every step in the progress of this
nation, and is entitled to share with him
the houor for what has been accomplished.
Thus you have offered the grandest and
most fitting opportunity ever offered
woman to demonstrate her ability in the
economic world.
Bo the memorial read. But the sugges
tion that tbe lady managers should share
tbe committee work and sit with their hus
bands and sous-in-law and brothers, and so
forth. In the meetings was ignored.
The wisdom of such action was seen a few
days ago, when a national commissioner
threatened to throw a local director out of a
fourth-story window, and whon another
national commissioner l egan to climb over
his desk “to get at him.” Manifestly lady
managers would have been out of place
there.
The next thing by the lady managers wai
a request to have the scope of their duties
defined for them. A committee of commis
sioners wrestled with this request. The re
mit was tbe recommendation that the iady
managers nppoint an executive committee
of twelve aud be allowed SSOO a year for
stationery.
The lady managers asked for a building
for “official and other purposes,” salaries
for a chairman and a secretary, and for
“instructions so explicit that there may be
no misunderstanding of them.”
In reply tbe executive committee of tbe
commission said that at the proper time a
building or accommodations would be fur
nished, and in the near future the board of
lady managers would bo provided with
“more detailed aud definite instructions as
to its linn of work.” To this the committee
added the following by way of artful flat
tery: “The board is composed of an
earnest, intelligent band of ladies anxious
to aid in every possible way tbe great work
of the national commission. Your com
mittee will venture to express further, the
belief that without the united assistance of
the ladies the objects of the oommlssion will
not be tho success its projectors and friends
wish and have reason to expect.”
About the same time with a view of show
ing further respect for the lady managers,
the commission considered a resolution.
' ‘ hat the secretary of this commission is
hereby directed to wire the Secretary of the
Ireasury forthwith, requesting that official
to modify the regulations which require
commissioners .to swear to their accounts
•o that the same shall not apply to the lady
managers.”
This was not all that was done to main
tain good feeling with the lady managers,
as ap:ears from a letter addressed by Sec
retary Phoebe W. Couzius to President
talmer, as follows: “I am directed by the
hoard of lady managers, world’s Columbian
commission, to extend to you hearty thauks
jor the drive to Washington and Jackson
barks on Saturday.”
l T !i e comi nissioa also “heartily corgrato.-
ated the lady managers u|>on their organ
zation and the unanimous selection of Mrs.
" ter Palmer of Chicago as their porma
®ent chairman.”
Gut the ladies couldn’t be put off with
car: (ages and compliments. They requested
a liberal construction of the act of con
g ess which creates this board of managers
v ( m. Ves V s . duties to bo proscribed by

niittee “to confer with your honorable
body and to obtain your views as to our

organization. At what time and place is it
your pleasure to meet the committee thus
appointed?’’ To this was added a suggestion
that the conference be held that very day
alter the regular meeting of the lady man
agers, “as we bold an election this after
noon for vice president.”
The committee of commissioners which
met the ladies in conference surrendered. It
reported some fine-sounding resolutions,
'lhe executive committee of the commis
sion was asked to adopt “methods and agen
cies” to enable the ladies to carry forward
the duties “Imposed upon them by con
gress.” The resolutions recommended a
building or pavilion to be turned over to
tne lady managers. They declared that
“wo will join with the lady managers in a
recommendation to congress to make an
additional appropriation to pay the
expenses of said board, if they so desire,"
and that “we congratuaiate the lady mana
gers upon their complete organization and
thoir great success in the selection of their
eminent officials, and we wish them god
speed in their coble work.” These resolu
tions further set forth that it was inexpe
dient at teat time “to formulate any
further instructions to the lady managers
more explicitly defining their duties.”
With that small encouragement to work
the lady managers were obliged to adjourn,
and to go home wondering why they had
been created. A few weeks later, when
the lady managers desired to come together
again, their president was notified that,
“pending congressional legislation the
board of control deems it wisest not to take
any steps looking to the expenditure of
money. ”
There soon came a time, however, when
the value of lady managors grew in the
minds of the commission. Money and leg
islation were wanted from congress. Mrs.
Potter Palmer was anted to get her finance
committee of lady mauagers together in
Washington. She did so on Feb.
33, just a week before the adjourn
ment of congress. In the minutes of the
board of control there appears an order
directing that all the accounts of Mrs. Pal
mer and her committee of ladies be certified
for payment. A little further on is the fol
lowing significant action by the commis
sion:
Rexolvcd. That the thanks of this commission
are due and are hereby tendered to Mrs. Potter
Palmer, and to the finance committee acting
with her, for their efficient aid success
ful effort in procuring from the congress of
the United States the appropriation for the
coming fiscal year in aid of the world’s Colum
bian commission.
This was adopted unanimously. Since
that time the lady managers have been
treated with great respect. Three ‘'where
ases” and six resolutions have been adopted
setting forth the importance of the hoard of
lady managers and defining the scope of its
duties.
1. The lady managers are to appoint half
of the members of all committees to award
prizes for exhibits produced in whole or in
part by woman’s work.
2. The lady managers are to have the
management and control of the woman’s
building.
3. The lady managers are to be the “of
ficial channel of communication through
which all women or organizations of
women may be brought into relation with
the exposition.” They are to have the di
rection and approval of woman’s work,
wometi’s exhibits and women’s interests in
general.
4. The commission confers upon Mrs.
Palmer full power to supervise aud control
all these matters, subject to the approval of
her executive committee and of the director
general and of the commission. Last win
ter’s work at Washington has made Mrs.
Potter Palmer much admired by the com
missioners. They cannot express themselves
too strongly, and the}’ pr pose that she
Bhall have full swing in all that pertains to
women and the world’s fair. “None of us
had any idea there was so much in Mrs.
Potter Palmer," says one of the commis
sioners. “She has developed rare faculties
for the work. She has genius for handling
congressmen, when it conies to an appropri
ation or an adverse report.”
5. Although recognizing the great and
unexpected value of the lady manuger’s
services at Washington, the commissioners
oaunot yet bring themselves to faoe a other
full meeting of the board with all that im
plies. They therefore say that “owing to
the evident intention of congress to allow
few meetings of the full board of lady
.managers, the executive committee thereof,
or a subcommittee of said executive com
mittee, is hereby authorized and empowered
to exercise any and all powers which said
board ought exercise in session, including
the right and privilege of amending its by
laws.” This is a most extraordinary con
cession. But in view of their experience
with cnoful! meeting of the lady managers
the commissioners 6eoin to feoi that any -
thing is justifiable. “Do what yon please,
ladies, b it don’t call a meeting,” is the posi
tion of the commissioners.
*i. A salary of $5,000 is conferred on Mrs.
Potter Pahnor aid one of $3,000 upon the
secretary. When the lady managers held
thoir first and only full meeting the com
mission proposed to make the president’s
salary $2,500 and the secretary’s $1,500.
The work in Wastiington, however, opened
their eyes to the value of lady managers.
It i< too bad that the lady managers can
not have board meetings at least as often ns
the commissioners. They nre fullv
organized. They have a president. First,
second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh
and eight vice presidents: also a vice presi
dent at large, and secretory pro tern, and
Miss Phoebe W. Couzin’s besides. This is
four vice preside its more thau the com
mission has. The ability of the lady mana
gers to "stir up things” is fully conceded
.“They are really doing a great work.”
Maj. Moses P. Handy says. “Those who
thought that these lady managers we>-.
going to pose as society queens we e nr -
taken. The lady ma ngers have shown a
surprising capacity for work. The way they
go at things commands the admiration of
everybody.”
If anybody wants particulars, it can he
said that the lady managers appointed for
states, the legislatures of which have de
clined to appropriate for the world’s fair,
are now at the head aud front of move -
ments to have those states make volunteer
exhibits.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JULY 11, IS9I.
SHE SAVED HSR BABY.
Farmer Conrotb’a Wife Grappled
With a Ten-foot Blicksneke.
Prom the Chicago Tribune.
Lawrexceburg, Iso., July 6.—Ten miles
north of here Jacob Conroth has a little
farm. Last Tuesday bis wife, her house
work done, put her 4-months -old baby in its
carriage aid trundled it off down the lane
to a berry natch in a half-cleared field. A
daughter, aged 6, went along to mind the
baby while the mother eonld pick t erries
enough for supper for the men whom they
had there for harvesting. The little girl
attended to her task only until the mother
was out of sight and hearing. Then she
started to see how raauy berries she could
gather into her apron. She left the baby
communing with a rubber-tipped nursing
bottle.
Mrs. Conroth heard a cry from the baby,
then two or three shriek-, of terror from the
guardian. She hurried back, crying as she
rau. “VVhat’j the matter* What’s tbe
matter?”
“A snake!” the child yelled in answer.
“It’s biting her!” Tearing her bands and
garments at every step against the tangled
briars the mother pushed oh in agony.
Coiled about the chubDy arms of the child,
and lapping witn venomous tongue the milk
which oozed from its lips, in the little car
riage there lay a monstrous blacksnake.
Fright and fear aud faintness could not still
the mother’s cry. She fell to the ground
screaming. Farmer Conroth and his men
came running for the harvest field. He
picked her up, but, pointing toward where
the carriage stood, she cried: “The baby!
Save t‘ e baby!”
But the men were too slow. She saw the
serpent slowly choking her child to death.
The little one’s feeble struggles, which had
angered tho reptile, were growing every
instant weaker. The me i had pitchforks
and harvest tools but dared not use them.
Witn a wild scream Conroth’s wife broke
from her husbaud’s arms, rushed frenzied to
the carriage, seized the snake by the neck
and tore its folds from about her child. Ihe
long black body writhed and lashed in a
mad effort to tasteu the fangs in tbo
mother's arms. She struggled and struggled,
and at last Hung the hated thing from her.
Theu she fainted dead away. The harvesters
killed the snake. Then they carried Mrs.
Conroth to the house. She weut into
violent hysterics which have not yet en
tirely ceased. It is feared she will go in
sme altogether. The baba was unharmed.
When tho farm bauds measured tbe snake
they found it to be nearly ten feet long.
A FOOK-LEUGED THIEF.
The Wonderful Dog That Stole Money
From a Rival of Lia Master.
Prom the Berner Zeitung.
A butcher in Bern was astonished one day
recently at seeing his dog run into his shop
and lay down at his feet the sun of 250
francs in the shape of two 300 1-frauo notes
and one 50-franc note. He carried the
money immediately to the police office, but
it was not until some hours later that the
owner was discovered. Another butcher
sent notloe that ho bad suddenly lost 250
francs and oould not discover the thief, as i.
had happened while he was alone in the
shop, aud had been in his hand a moment
before he lost it.
Tho dog ihief had paid a visit to bis col
league in the shop of the owner of the notes,
and when the owner’s back was turned bad
stolen tbe mo. ey and scampered off with it
to his own mas er. It is p ssible that the
dog had c ime to his own conclusion about
the value of tue bank notes.

Is Your Disease Chronic?
There are numberless old chronic cases, that the medi
cal profession acknowledge they cannot master.
The record that S. S. S. has made in
curing this class of diseases is with
out a parallel. It matters not what is
the origin of the complaint or of how
long standing, S. S. S. is almost in
fallible as a curative agent.
In cases of general debility, shattered constitu
tion, or worn out system, it is without an equal.
It cures old sores, ulcers and gun-shot wounds
that refuse to heal up under any other treatment.

In respect of tbe process of condensation, while there has been the utmost car* in the
matter of condensation, there has been no elimination of aubjeot*. Not one subject haa

relative rattier than universal interest. There are many matters of Interest to European*
that cannot, in the nature of the case, have tue same interest for Americana Many of
the details of historic events that are probably of great Importance in a work distinct

ample, the English reader will be interested in all the details of the Battle of Waterloo
while the American reader will bo more concerned about the details of the Battle oi
Gettysburg, th* decisive battle of tbe War of the Rebellion. The work of condensation
and the work of amendment, have been wrought with equal care, in order that nothing
of Old World interest might be omitted, and that due reference might be made to thnw!
grand personages and events which have made the history of Amerioa the wonder and
admiration of the trorld.
