CHEROKEE CLUB
<xl N OTES.

the trend of club life
AMONG WOMEN.
It is not long since the women’s
club was sporadic. Then it be
came occasional, next general, and
finally it rages as an epidemic
among women.
Thirty years ago the women who
were daring enough to join a club
braved some considerable degree
of ridicule and invited, in some
cities at least, social ostracism.
When the Ladies’ Physiological
Institute of Boston banded itself
together fifty years ago for the ex
press purpose of studying the anat
omy of the human female body, a
thrill of righteous indignation and
holy shame swept the town from
hub to uttermost rim. and those
advanced women who joined the
organization did so almost at the
risk of their reputation. “Immod
est,” “indecent,” , “presumptuous”
were among the mildest adjectives
applied to these ladies, most of
whom have since been identified
with the best of Boston’s later de
velopment. Even the staid old
New’ England’s Woman’s Club
was looked upon askance and at
the first the “best tamilies” held
themselves aloof.
What a change in the world to
day when every country cross
roads has its woman’s club. The
green bay tree like unto which
flourished in David’s time is not to
be compared to the enormous
growth of the club movement, and
one may weil hesitate before choos
ing that other Biblical simile of
the grain of mustard-seed
A great deal has Deen said and
written, meanwhile, about the rais
on d’etre of the woman’s club. So
long as there were only occasional
clubs here and there, and these
kept out of the newspapers and re
frained from “federation,” which
means uniting themselves into
greater bands for a more solid uni
ficatien. the movement remained
practically unnoticed. But it was
too lusty and significant an infant
to be kept in swaddling clothes,
and before the world knew it, al
most before the club woman her
self realized it. there was effected
a general organization embracing
all the states and territories. The
world suddenly wakened to ask,
“What does it mean !”
“A fud, which will run its course
and then die,” the superficial ob
server decided on that first awa
kening; but as the movement
spread and ramified*, reaching out
its roots into the remoter country
districts of the east, over the
mountain districts of the south,
up among the canons of the Rock
ies, along the pearly edge of the
Pacific, and even up to the frozen
north of Alaska, that talk has
ceased, and with reason.
Now what is the beginning of
the result ? —for it is still too early
to see more than the beginning.
From away down east where a
tribe of Wabanaki Indian women
are working a club for improve
ments in Oldtown. Maine, over to
Oregon, where the club women are
training their guns upon the legis
lature, determined to put a woman
on the board of directors of the
Agricultural college, club women
are leaders in public work.
Thirty-six of our states have
successful systems of traveling li
brariss as one result of the labor
of club women. The traveling li
brary did not originate with wo
men, it is true; but the ability to
appropriate and develop a good
idea marks the successful club
woman, and ever since the estab
lishment of the first library of that
sort by the Boston and Albany
railroad in 1848 women have been
working on and developing this
idea, and are reaching out to bless
the community at large in the
broadest possible way.
Everywhere, too, the public li
brary is blossoming in country
towns from seed planted, watered
and nourished by the woman’s
clubs, standing always for the edu
cation of the common people.
In towns innumerable, clubs are
bringing about reforms, improve
ments in the public schools, tree
planting, and co-operation between
parents and teachers. The little
city of Barrs, Vermont, is institu
ting a novel scheme in hiring a dis
trict nurse, who is paid a salary by
the City Federation, and whose
duty it is to go from house to
house looking after the sick, and
not only making them more com-

fortable but showing the home
maker how to do so. If any fam
ily is able to pay for these services
a,fee of twenty-five eeuts is charged,
which goes to the Federation, but
this is by no means obligatory. So
far as we know this is first effort
at district nursiug on the part of
clubs, though there seems no rea
son why it should not become gen
eaally successful.
Public-school systems every
where are adopting the vacation
cooking, sewing, or sloyd, started
and carefully fostered by women’s
clubs. In Georgia the club women
are working to establish and main
tain an industrial school for colored
girls which shall fit them to earn
a better living than girls have yet
made in the south. Alabama is
working for public libraries and
so is Florida, and both are collect
ing items of state history.
The General Federation o f wo
men’s clubs represents to-day some
thing like 300,000 women and its
committees cover educational,
athletic, library, and mechanical
art.
Is it not time theu. that the wo
man who has never affiliated with
other women in work for a com
munity shall ceas to boast that she
has never joined a club? Is it not
time for the man who has carped
at the movement as a reprehensible
scheme calculated only to unsex
gentle woman and incidentally to
cool off his own dinner, to cease as
be looks upon actual accomplish
ment? Is it not well for us all to
wake up to the fact that the club
movement is here to stay, and to
decide just how it concerns us as
individuasl?—Helen M. Winslow

THIEVES AT WORK.
The Business of Entering Homes
Diligently Kept Up.
For some time past depradations
by thieves who sneak into the
homes at night have been reported
in the town and vicinity. Who
ever is doing the work is either
very experienced at the business or
have wonderful favorable luck, for
the raid is generally successful and
the raider escapes being caught.
Among those who have had
nocturnal calls in the last few
months and were robbed v.’hile
they slept are: Mr. Pat Reynolds,
Mr. JUackey, Mr. Bob Saxon,
Mr. W. W. Roberts, Mr. M. F.
Cooper and others.
At Mr. Saxon’s home some two
weeks ago they sneaked his pants
from a chair by the bed and he
found them in a grove three hun
dred yards from the home next
morning, with the pocket book,
keys and other things remaining
in his pockets, but some silver
change amounting to $3 or over,
gone. At Mr. Roberta’ last Satur
day night they entered through a
window into the dining room,
thence Went to his bed room, got
his pants, and left them minus
some cash,about 85 cents in silver,
at the window on the outside.
It is a pity that some one has
not been able to catch up with
these wily thieves, who in the law’s
toils, would get the portion they
deserve,

PREACHERS PREVENT DISASTER
Uncontrollable Congregation In
Atlanta to Hear Sam Jones.
Atlanta News
A panic and disaster was nar
rowly averted at the Tabernacle
Baptist church last night, wte e5,-
000 people gathered to hear Sam
Jones preach. Had it not been for
the coolness of Dr. Broughton, J.
N. Fickett, president of the board
o: deacons of the church, and Mr.
Jones, it is likely a calamity would
have befallen the vast congregation
and many lives lost.
The overcrowded condition of
the gallery of the church caused it
to slightly sag at one and for a
time it had the appearance of fall
ing upon those under it and bring
ing 500 persons.
When the hour arrived for ser
vices to begin Mr. Jones, in com
pany with Dr. Broughton, found it
imposible to enter any of the doors,
or even to reach the sidewalk on
either side of the building. The
crowd was growing restless when
Dr. Broughton, was seen pushing
his way down the aisle. After a
long interval he accomplished the
feat and mounting the platform,
said:
“Now I am going to say some
thing you don’t want to hear. You
people have just got to get out of
the aisles. The law forbids the
aisles cf a church being blocked.
In the first place, Mr. Jones can’t
get in the house. Now get a move
on you quick, or I snail call in
some of tho :e policemen out tnere
Crowd Uncontrolled.
The crowd made no effort to
obey the orders, but continued to
surge forward. Dr. Brouglitou
continued:
“Now, look here, I mean bus
iness. If you don’t open the aisles
and let Mr. Jones in, I am going
to dismiss you right now.”
When this was said those stand
ing in the side aisles partially gave
way, and before any one was aware
of it, and even while Dr. Brough
ton was still scolding at the crowd
to back out on the sidewalk and
give the evangelist an opportunity
to come in, Mr. Jones walked up
on the platform smiling and dow
ing to the immense audience thun
derous cheering as he took his seat.
After Mr. Jones arrived the
crowd gave a prolonged foward
surge, forcing those who stood
near the front to climb upon the
platform. Dr. Broughton begged
the people who were standing to
go around in the Sunday school
room in the rear of the building,
and said that he would come ar
ound and preach to them —have
an overflow meeting. But not a
motion was made toward the door.
Just before Mr. Jones commen
ced preaching, Mr. Fickett. who
was on rostrum, notice ! that the
left wing of the gallery was sag
ging under the weight of the crowd.
He shouted in an excited tone:
“People, if you don't thin out
the crowd in that gallery, it is go
ing to fall. Its capacity is over
taxed. Get out I say, before a
calamity occurs,’'
This excited the crowd and a
number left the gallery, while those
underneath were almost panic
stricken, fearing that the gallery
was going to crash down ’upon
them at any moment. For a time
it looked like there would be a
paiuc.
Mr. Jones arose and commanded
the crowd to be perfectly quiet.
Silence fell over the audience, as
he said:
“A detachment of policemen and
a fire company are on the outside.
As I passed them, they asked if I
didn’t think it advisable to ge
some of the peopleout. I told them
‘no,’ that I had preached all over
the country, in all kinds of build
ings, when some thought that a
calamity was inevitable, and I
have never had a person hurt at
one of my meetings yet. Just re
main where you are and keep) quiet.
If any one should raise a disturb
ance and some one says, ‘be quite,’
and you think they say ‘fire,’ just
watch me and do what I do. It’s
lots more important that I escape
from a burning building than any
of you, for I’m of some account.”
With that he began his sermon.
