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.
