BY MRS. v,. G. II.
The International Council of
Women held a convention in Wash
ington last week. Although most
men at the present day look upon
women as infeiior to them in intel
lect and business capacity these
women are among the most intellL
gent of the age, and are making
capital defense to the idiom: “All
men support all women.” Laura M.
Jones of Kansas, is the President.
The papers which have been read
before this intelligent body bring to
much of womens work. In
Massachusetts alone there arc near
300.000 who are earning a livlihood
in industrial occupation. Since the
war bundled,s of women have grad
uated as physicians, others as
clergy—women and lawyers. She
is an important factor in the
“Grange,’’ a temperance society
and a peace society. Mrs. Leonora
Harry react a. paper ori “What the
Knights of Labor are doing for the
women,” she was loudly encored and
came forward twice to bow her nc
knovvledgement for the oration.
She said, “wo are building around
our working girls a wall to defend
them from indignities and humilia
tions to which they have been sub
jected to hereUfoi’c. Prof .llcna
Michael spoke of “Women as Edu
cators,” and Laura Holloway gave
a dissertation on “Women in Jour
nalism,” in which these facts wore
brought out twenty five years ago
only fifteen women were employed
in the whole country as editors
while now over 200 are engaged in
jutis nalistie work in New York city
alov.e! She paid a high tribute to
Newspaper editors and proprietors
in U. -S. and said that the newspap r
,i::a .Lumi.ioj» wuh
out a woman on its staff would be
biuikl'upl ill less titan . live .
yetus.
(Hurtah for Laura say we!) Dr.
Surah llacket, as a medical educa
tor thought hers was the noblest
missionary field in the world, who
could do move good spiritually than
a religious physician? and woman
should receive equal compensation
for her service with the men. Wo
glory its the intelligence of our
Yankee sisters, and in the “spunk”
they have to bring this intelligence
before the world. This is truly a
century of advancement in all
tilings.
Europe seems to be suffering from
severe rains and floods as well as
the United Stales. In Gerutar y
seven villages are submerged.
Damages are fearful to property,
and are esiimtted at 850,000,000.
Twenty nine lives have been lost
and over a thousand Cuttle, So far,
ibis year throughout the United
States has be- n one of calamities.
The winter has been mild, but never
the less, there has been suffering
Lotus hope that ihe rains may
cease and the weather continue a»
pretty as the past low days.
