THE AMER1CUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SUNDAY, MAY 17, 1891. A NEW CRUSADE DY WOMEN. A I'rojrct That Coi»l«l He Ailvuntugrouf* Iy Followed In Hirer? City. The women of New York, weary of sweeping the filthy streets of the city with tlieir traiflS&slclr&ibAvteriten Id their majesty, organised themeelves in a great street cleAnjtygjTbrfgaile and de clared war on the dost scattering ash barrel and the foot tripping banana. Mrs. Kinnicutt, wife of Dr. Kinnicutt, of Thirty-seventh street, and Mrs. Rich-' ard Irvin are the leaders of the move ment, and have been engaged for some time in ]»rfecting their plan of attack, which was first formally announced at the working girls’reunion Monday night. It is the opinion of these women that the much abused commissioner of streot cleaning and his aids are no more to blame for the disgraceful condition of the streets than aro the careless house holders and pedestrians who thought lessly add their mite of disorder to the great aggregation of dirt for which onr fair island city has gained a world,wide reputation. These ladies, together with Mrs. Uns- tav Kissel. Mies Frelinghnysen and others ns directors, have rented an office at 222 West Thirty-eighth street, hired a secre tary. and announced to the mayor their intention of constituting themselves a bureau of information, where ail com-, plaints relating to street nuisances may be received, nnu rales and regnlations issued tn accordance with the city or dinances As a beginning the matter was pre sented by Mrs. Irvin to the great assem bly of working girls, to each of which an envelope containing twenty-five mem bership slips to this new society was given at the door. There will be no fees or dnes of membership, bnt each person signing the slip promises to keep her own outdoor premises neat and orderly, to pnt her ashbarrel out in time for the ash man and not Booner, to avoid throw ing bits of paper or any refuse upon the pavement, and above all to report any neglect of the rules which she sees any where in the city. In return for thi signed pledge of mem bership a card Will be sent prepared for hanging upon the wall, and giving the rales referred to ubovo in German or Itulian ns well as English, according to tho nationality of the member. Just at present the new society is oc cupied in obtaining and classifying their members according to the districts in which they reside. Very influential people are already included in,the mem bership,- and very soon the organized plans of work will be published to the public and members. Associated with the women in this work arc many of the most influential men in tile city, and all are determined to have New York high ways ond by way b as neat, orderly and beautiful as those of Paris or Berlin. > In Purls, if a person throws a tom let ter or anything disorderly upon the pavemeut, he is obliged to pick up the litter or be escorted by-a gendarme to the nearest police station to pay his Sne. It is claimed by the Women’s Street Cleaning Aid society that t|ie ordinances are equally binding in New York il some one would enforce them. Now that the eyes of this great army of wom en are looking ont for the offender, let him or her beware, for women ure good detectives aud extremely conscientious in performing their duty, particularly when, as in this case, the name of the informer is carefully guarded from the ones they inform against.—New York San. by the use of artificial feet, became such an expert walker that no one, to see her on the street, would think that she was without nature's apparatus for walking. —Chicago Herald. MM1 <I«.n versus Matron. Some time aud in some fashion tho youug unwedded woman will be called npon to make a decided stand against the invasion of the matron upon her special province. There is scarcely place left now for the sole of her slipper be tween the schoolroom and'strip of carpet before the matrimonial altar. She is simply driven into a comer and told to marry at once or lay down her passport Into realms of social gayety. This urro- gance of the married woman concerning her monopoly of society amusements is intolerable. Site won’t hear- to 'baring unpaired belles' brought into competi tion with her attractions. If they choose to chime it must he with a conjngnl clapper, and not as merry, independent tinklers, ringing a distracting little tnne of unmated friskiness. Girls are still permitted to liave de buts, but even on those great occasions the young matron steps in, and. by right of double blessedness, takes all the cakes and ale. The shy. sweet miss is left to cut a poor figure indeed. And so on, frgm first to last, the married woman opens the ball, lends tho german, occu pies the opera boxes, demands all the din ner invitations, fills the victoria, receives at tlio tea, thereby squeezing tile girl into such a small comer no one is ever able to find her behind madam’s over crowded engagement book. Mrs. Burton Harrison lias instituted a demand for the restoration of the Amer ican maiden as she existed before Euro pean customs came to smother her light tinder the bushel of an artificial society. Not many years ago Uncle Sam’s virgin daughter was the pride of the nation. Her girlish wit and independence, Iter innocent fearlessness. Iter jollity, sbrewd- uess and lteanty were the boast of the civilized world, and with impunity did tthe set her proud feet on the hearts of mankind. Men admired and reverenced Iter, for here, they said, is a new order of womep. (Jntniinmeled by the obliga tions of wife and motherhood, she is free to accept our entire devotion; with the discretion and knowledge of tho matron she combines the freshness of a maiden. Heretofore this nniou was held to be impossible, ond she 1ms realized man’s ideal. Bnt, alas! whence has this clear eyed goddess of girlish liberty fled atvayl —Ulnstrnted American. A Woman Matte an Initial,. For the first thne in tint' history of the North’American Indians a white wont- 1 an, Mrs. Harriet Maxwell Converse, has received the honor of a national adap tion by aif Indian nation. Instances of "name giving” have not been infeeqfient among the Indians, the’"naming’’ ia-lng accompanied with considerable cere mony, and nsually terminating witii a A Drava Little Woman. Miss Loie M. Royce, one of the heroic school teachers of tho western states who enmo near losing their lives during the great blizzard of Jan. 12, 1888, was married Friday night in West Bay City to Charles 8. Thomas, a well known newspaper man. At the time of the great blizzard, Miss Royce, who was then eighteen years old, was teaching in a country school neur Pluinview, Neb, On the d«y in question oho found three pnpils nt her school in. the morning. Daring the day the stonn increased in fury, and ut tho close of school the teacher and tho pupils were tumble to leave the building. They remulncd un til all of their fuel was used up, and they Were becoming afraid they would freeze to death in their prison wbeu, during a b.’H tflh storm, ffie teacHer tUt?riiiined to make an effort to roach n house a few roils from the school building. Taking the two youngest-children by- the baud .and bidding tlm other tofulloW close be hind her, tho teacher started out on what proved to be n terrible journey. Hardly had they left the school building when the storm again increased, and iu a short time they had Ipitlbfir w»K1 La iS Ci After wandering about until all of tlio party laid Uccoiqo exhausted and could g>»tiof,i-fl*r they laid down together. di#Jl commotion caused a large group bf proincnaders to gather at the spot, and there was the usual amount of "guying" of the driver by the bystanders.

These ceremonies, however! are purely complimentary, evidencing ft feel ing of friendship for the person "named” and appreciation for some act of kind ness. But this is the first instance iu In dian annals of u formal adoption of a white woman into an Indian commonly, to become an actual member of their nation, to be fully recognized as such and entitled to all the privileges of one of the blood. So the legal admission into their na tion of Mrs. Converse, the poet and In- dinnologiat, by the president and conn- { cillore of the New York state Seneeit In dians, and their recognition of her as one of their own poop's, is nniqne. Mrs. Converse lias always defended the rights of the Indians of this state, and she ef fectively aided the Indian delegation at Albany to oppose n bill before the as sembly which, if carried as a law. would have deprived them of their lands. The bill was killed in committee. Before the hearing of the Indians by the com mittee Mrs. Convene had lteen invited to tit in their Six Nations conncil, held at Albany, nn honor never before be stowed niton a white woman save Mary Jewison. This Six Nations, the most important of all the Indian councils, convenes only in esses of urgency nnd is representative of the rights of all the Indians of the league of the Iroqnois. When the Seneca national council, in seeaion at Qtrrollton, Cattaraugus coun ty, N. Y., in the Allegany reservation, waa called an application was laid be fore that body to the effect that, “by love and affection” it was the desire of the Indians that Mrs. Converse should be received into their nation as a legal member of it. Upon this appeal a vote was taken, and it was unanimously re solved that she he at once invited to np- [tear before the council nnd receive her Indian name.—New York Cor. Boston Advertiser*. ? • ,' , t g- i she Kitew Something About Dorset- One of the few bright afternoons re cently enjoyed by New Yorkers served to bring oat a brilliant array of prome- uuders and. equipages in Fifth avenue. The drive was crowded with carriages, when one bf a team of horses attached to a rattling, banging, lumbering Fiftli avenue stage ‘slipped and fell. As is nkhaljn Stfcji common occurrences, the falling animal served to entangle him self iu bis harness in such a way that every time Jut struggled to arise ho was trippetl pnil made to fall again. The laying: “It makes me angry to see men in charge of horses so fearfully stupid. It isalwars easier to release the standing horse than to untangle tho harness of the fallen one. and when the other is led away the one down can rise easily. Men are stupid, anyway."—New York Trib une, Women D.'li'xstr. Nut Wanted. The Methodist conference at Yonkers has decided by a very emphatic vote of ISO to 60 that'women sbonld not be ad- mitted as delegates to the general con ference. The report of the debate does not show that tho question was discussed or decided niton its merits. When it said that it does net follow because woman can sing bass that she ought to sing bass, it would seem to be a sufficient reply to suggest thut if a bass were needed to complete a quartet if would be rather absurd to reject a,bail voice be cause it was the voice of a woman. The decisivo consideration in the de bate seems to have been that there was a divine reason for tho difference of sexes, and that participation In a confer ence was not included in the sphere of women. Bnt how the male sex, its such, qualified those who In-long to it as wise counselors was not stated in any speech nor illustrated in the argument. There always a liettev way of determining whether wood will float and stone sink titan any argument hosed npon a theory The better way is experiment. The counsel of women in schools is proved to Ihi of very great value. The opinion of a man who thinks that the counsel was not meant to lie taken is not an argu ment against tlio fact.—Harper's Weekly Ailvlce to lady Gardener*.

There is no talk of combines and strikes, no ag gressive measures, but they do'combine n social societies which draw them nearer together, teach them the vulno of co-operation, anil the spirit and teach ings of klub life instill firmly iu their minds the fact that inerfeasdd capability mentis increased wages. Tbcro is iu the New York association a bureau for ob taining situations, and there is to be soon trade classes for those who are un able to obtain work through incom- peteucy, when, as Miss Doilgo says, ‘•Those who want to do everything and do not know how to do anything may leant to do something, and do it well.”— New York Sun. Amin Dickinson the Last. Amin Dickinson is almost the last of the great ]K,pillar lecturers. There were in the list Gough, Beecher, Phillips, Chapin, Cnriis and Miss Dickinsou.

The land hasalready been given, and is under the control of the Glen Echo Chnntanqaa society, darn Barton is to prepare one department for the Red Cross society, and other well known societies will join her. This tern- |Je is called just now the Womnn’a Para dise. It makes the working girl tired to luive Iteople always pitying her for living in a tenement, particularly when it is real ly a very clean, neat place. And she is much a-weary of -being told to look ont for bargnins and be economical, when if things were not so very cheap the girls who make them would not be so very IMA.
