The Woman’s National Council of the
United States in Session.
L—
Talk, Essays and Petitions, and
That the Time Has Come
for Legislation.
WAsniN 3TON, Feb. %.—The first trien-
nial meeting of the Woman’s National
Council of the United States was held at 5
Albaugh’s Grand Opera house Monday
morning. The meeting was opened with
prayer by Rev. Mary H. B. Hitt, after ,
which the. delegates were introduced by
President Frances E. \Villard, who then
delivered a longr and most interesting ad-
dress, which was frequently interrupted by
storms of applause. In opening her ad-
dress Miss ‘Villard said she held, with the
president of the previous council, that “a
difference of opinion on one question must
not prevent us from working unit-edly for
those on which we can agree.
“To lift woman up from sexhood to wom-
anhood, and to do this for humanity’s sake,
is our problem. But it has taken women
of brains and purpose more than forty
years to find out this simple fact—to learn
that they must agree to disagree on many
things in order that the greatest numbers’
greatest good might be attained.” She (lis-
tinctly disavowed any banding together of
women as malcontents or 'hostiles toward
the corrolated other half of the human race.
She said she believed that this council
should organize a miniature council in
every town and city, confederatiiig these
in every state and instructing the state
council to send delegates to the national
council. “Were there such a council of
women in town and city, state and nation,
we should have our representatives cou—
stantly at the state and national capitals,
and should ask unitedly for advantages
that have heretofore been asked for only
by separate societies.”
~_ Time to Legislate.
Miss \Villard said: “We have long met
to read essays, make speeches and prepare
petitions; let us hereafter meet in this
great council to legislate for womanhood,
for childhood and the home. Men have told
us solemnly, have told us often and in good
faith, no doubt, that ‘they would grant
whatever the women of the nation asked.’
Our time to ask unitedly has waited long,
but it is here at last.” '
Speaking of woman individually, Miss
Willard paid a. high compliment to Miss
Kate Drexel, of whom she said: “Let the
Catholic Katherine Drexcl speak, who, on
Feb. 12, consecrated herself by solemn
vows to the exclusive service of the Indian
and the negro, devoting her fortune of $7,-
000,000 to their religious, intellectual and
social elevation. As true a. priestess as
walks the earth is such a woman in this
maminon loving age.”
Social Purity.
On the subject of social purity Miss Wil-
lard spoke at length, with especial refer-
ence to the recent Parnell-O’Shea scandal.
She said: “The chief significance of Par-
riell’s present discrowned estate has been
but little emphasized as yet in the public
mind, but, to my thinking, the woman
question has had no triumph as signal in
our generation.
“As a hero Parnell stood forth for what
the world knew of him in his relations to
the world, but as a man, in his relations
to women, he was altogether a different
personality, with whom the public had.
nothing whatever to do, and no matter
how basely he might conduct himself it
was no concern of theirs, because the es-
timate of woman was so much beneath
that which is now held. She was but an
adjunct of man, and called by many of the
greatestamon g men ‘a. necessary evil.’
“So it has been; women, good, gifted, un—
. daunted, have added themselves by thou-
sands and tens of thousands in the home,
the school, the church, the state, to the
popular concept of womanhood, so that
when Parnell, great hero that he is, ruins
one woman and despoils one home his feat-
ures as a. hero are so blurred and distorted
to the eye of nations that he must step
down and out. Nor. would I in the least
forget that Mrs. O’Shea has blurred, so far
as her poor little individuality could. the
composite photograph of womankind. But,
then, there has not been one word spoken
in her favor.
but Capt. O’Shea and the once great- Irish
hero.
Cleveland Criticized.
“Her penalty is heavy enough in the
nature of the case. But God be thanked
that we live in an age when men as a class
have risen to such an appreciation of wom-
en as a class that the mighty tide of their
public sentiment will drown out any man’s
reputation who is false to woman and the
home. And this which is true now in
large degree throughout; the world will be
a thousand times more true in a century
from now.”
Miss Willard paid a compliment to Gen.
Spinner, who, she said, just thirty years
ago proposed the admission of women to
employment in the United States treasury
department.
She criticized the present style of dress
worn by society women, maintaining that
it prevented physical development. \Vom-
an,she said, “is a creature born to the
beauty and freedom of Diana, but she is
; swathed by her skirts, splintered by her
i
l
stays, bandaged by her tight waist and
pinioned by her sleeves until—alas! that I
should live to say it—a trussed turkey or
spitted goose are her most appropriate eni—
blems.”
She criticized cx-President Cleveland for
the use of the word “female” by him in a
recent speech as being obnoxious to wom-
en, who, she said, were women, and wished
to be designated as such.
Colored People at the Fair.
WASHINGTON, Feb. zit—Mr. Candler of
Massachusetts (by request) introduced in
the house a bill to amend the act provid-
ing for holding the \VOrld's fair. The bill
proposes to amend the act by providing
for the allotment of space in the govern-
ment building to the colored people of the
United States for an exhibit, and appro-
priates $200,000 to pay the expenses of
transportation, care and custody’of such
exhibit and the expenses of the directors
of the Colored \Vorld’s Fair association.
His Plea. Accepted.
DOVER, N. H., Feb. 24.—Charles Cross,
who was indicted at the last September
term of the grand jury for murder in the
second degree in killing Frank Liberty, of
Great Falls, last August, was in court
Monday, and his plea of.’ guilty of man-
slaught‘er in the first degree was accepted
by the court. Sentence was deferred.

THEY LYNCHED IN HASTE.
And the Itlood of mi Innocent Man Is on
Their Hands.
DENVER, 0010., Feb. 24.—A murder at
Salida, Odo, whidh was followed by the
lynching of Oliver Reilly,takes on an entire-
ly different phase from that previously re-
ported.
was stealing coal from the railroad chute
when Conductor Sullivan ordered him
away, and that instead of obeying Reilly
shot and killed Sullivan, and was then
lynched by the mob.
The official report just received here is
to the effect that Reilly was in charge of
the chute, and was attempting to drive
away one of Sullivan’s men, who was steal-
ing the coal. Sullivan interfered, and
after a. war of words knocked Reilly down,
and was about to further assault the pros-
trate man, who then drew his gun and
shot Sullivan in self defence. The men,
not understanding the facts in the case,
took Reilly from the officers. Several
shots were fired and four men were wound-
ed, one of whom was Reilly. The prisoner
was then dragged half dead to a railroad
crossing sign and hanged without being
allowed to say a word. A thorough inves-
tigation will be made and the perpetrators
punished.
A Man Crushed to Death.
BROOKLYN, Feb. 24.—William Delehanty,
employed by the King’s County elevated
road, was crushed to death Monday morn-
ing at the bridge station of the Fulton
street line. Delelianty was 24 years old,
and his duties were to clean and fill the
signal lamp on the track at the Sands
street switch. He was crossing the track
when the rear end of the ferry train, back-
in g to take on passengers from the bridge,
struck him and crushed him to death be-
tween the sides of the car and the station
platform. The engineer, Edgar Taylor,
and the conductor, Andrew Kale, were
placed under arrest. There was no brake-
man at the rear end of the train. Had
there been a man on watch there the prob
ability is that Delelia-nty would not have
been killed.
Trying to Save Him “'ith Koch’s Lymph.
DENVER. Feb. 2-1.—John Smell, the Chi-
cago policeman, who was wounrkd in the
Hayinarket riot, and is suffering from con-
sumption, is in the Koch hospital here.
The:reaction set in Saturday, and Small is
passing through the most critical stage of
the treatment. He cannot leave his bed,
and his body is racked with sharp pains,
indicating that the lymph is doing its
work well. His case is most interesting,
the disease having been brought on by a
piece of bone forced into ’t-he lungs. The
physicians in charge have every hope of’
bringing him out a well man.
No Recount for New York.
\VAsIIiNcTON, Feb. %.—The house com-
mittee on census met Monday and adopted
the report of the sub—committee having in
charge Representative Flower’s resolution

who a year ago was one of the wealthy
young men of “’asliiiigton, spent last
night at the Central police station in tho
den of tramps. Jan. 10, 1880, Leo. came intc

Caught Her Eloping Husband.
BURLINGTON, N. J., Feb. 1:3.—A few days
ago JOscph Stout, a young farmer, and his
wife engaged in a family quarrel, and the
result was a. temporary separation. Mrs.
Stout went to the home of her parents and
Joseph remained on the farm. During his
wife’s absence Stout met a young woman
named Ella Clinton and soon became
deeply enamored, and arrangements were
completed for an elopement. Stout’s sister,
learning of the affair, notified his absent
wife, who arrived in this city just in time
to intercept the runaway pair as they were
about to take a train for Philadelphia. A
scene ensued, but the enraged wife was
triumphant. Stout has been married fivr
times, and it is alleged that the majority
of his wives are living.

J RANSVI LLE, Pa., Feb. 33.'—The searching
party have recovered three more bodies.
The body of James \Vard, who leaves a
widow and eight children,~ was found in

lask, a Hungarian laborer, was found in
the breast, also the. body of Joe Astros.
The bodies were in a bad state of decompo
sition and were immediately interred when
brought to the surface. There never was
“black damp” in the lower lift, and this
proves that all the victims thus far found
were undoubtedly drowned. The search-
ers have had many narrow escapes.
