At the meeting of the Woman's Club on Tuesday, steps were taken to form an organization, which if successfully carried out on the lines projected will prove an important power in promoting the interests of the city. It is meant to be a union of the women's clubs of the city, through a club council, made up of one representative from each club. The idea is certainly capable of great development as through the united action of all these bodies of women a power can be brought to bear on legislation which may accomplish great results for the city. This suggestion was one sent out by the G. F. W. C., and the Woman's Club resolved to send out invitations to all the city clubs, outlining the plan and requesting their It is to be hoped that every club will respond by sending a representative to the meeting, and that a permanent organization will be effected. This organization will prove a great force, which committees got up for an occasion cannot acquire. It will become backed, as it will be by the societies, comprising a constituency of the best citizens, a power that legislators and officers of the city will heed. This council might divide itself into small committees, the business of co-operati- on. these being to look after the various direcneeds of the city in different tions, and whenever it discovers anymatter over thing affecting the special which it has charge, the Council might be called, the matter presented to it, and the conclusions reported to the clubs for such action as they might determine upon. This council will be on the lookout and especially for womens interests, also to promote the educational advantages of the city. A might be appointed on legislation sub-commit-t- ee in the State Senate affecting our citys interests; on sanitary 'conditions of the city; on village improvements, such as parks, sidewalks, drinking fountains, street cleaning, cutting weeds, 'etc.; an education committee to further the kindergartens, etc. The work of this council should be practical, and make to the advancement of the projects that will make our city more beautiful, more comfortable, more healthful, and more moral. This council will be working in the right direction and must accomplish much, and it will be a power whose appeals will be listened to by our Mayor, Board of Health, Board of Education, City Engineer, Street and Park Commissioners and those who manage our public works generally. In a special dispatch to the New York Post on February 18, a corres- pondent in speaking of the Woman Suffragists Convention in Washington said: As long as the free silver issue predominates, it is not likely that any other question will influence decisively the votes of the women of Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and Montana; but in the event of a different issue, which must in time come, the vote in a national contest might hinge upon the. attitude of the respective presidential candidates upon the question of woman suffrage. This correspondent thinks that the sentiments expressed by the women from these states shows that if the same opinions are held by any considerable number of the women voters of their states, that it would be impossible for any candidate, opposed to woman suffrage to get their votes, and therefore politicians will be shrewd enough to advocate equal suffrage. He even thinks it not improbable at our next national conventions the question of the availibility of candidates may hinge on this point. If a contest were close it would be suicidal for a candidate to declare against woman suffrage, thereby losing the thirteen electoral votes of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana. The influence of these states will thus be felt for universal suffrage throughout the land. presidential A tunnel sixty feet below the level of the streets of Edinburgh, constructed for the use of the North British Railway some fifty years ago has been used for the past ten years as a place for the cultivation of mushrooms. It furnishes a constant temperature and an absence of light, both of which conditions are favorable for the growth of the mushrooms, and so successful has the propagation been, that the Scotsish Mushroom Company is said to be in control of the British market for cultivated mushrooms. It uses 8oo mushroom-beds- , 12x3 feet, and the output at times amounts to 5,000 pounds of mushrooms per month. The effect has been to diminish the amount furnished by the French growers, who formerly controlled' the English market, to less than a per cent, of the total consumption. N.
