WOMEN'S CLUB HEWS r9parattoaa Being lXade for tii Coareattoa at Dearer. AOTIVITY 13 UNUSUAL Prosramma for tlx Six Days to Be) Varied and Abla Mrs. Lrada Eraoi.WUI Tallt Aaei rkaiti ef Keeaeaate "Worst Ik Claba mm Weeeeaear. Th tnttr Ocean begins a bow feature with this moraine's Issue, la a department devoted movement, as outlined editorially yesterday morning. Though the winter season la the most sus picious for the developing of such a depart' meat, and) the centering' of Its most breezy Interest, there acTerthsleaa are a large num ber of active summer workers, whose more- meats concern, a railed and extensive line of newspaper, readers.

The extent to which club lite among women has developed cf late years la juat becoming appreciated by the general public. The rslue of the work In Chi cago Is quickly understood when Its pene tralia is looked into. Hundreds cf Uvea are brightened, hundred of stragglers assisted without ostentation or reward by those branches of club work which look toward the material alleviation of the communl'lee around them. But aside from all labors of a charitable or philanthropic nature the bulk of club activity Is deroted almost exclusively to the educational Idea. The federation mot to, "Unity in Diversity," embodies the under lying principle of that organization, the beauties of which are most rigidly lired up to.

It is The Inter Ocean's purpose to-make lta club columns useful and representative, so that the more or less flippant Inaccuracy which often characterizes club reports shall be wholly wanting. To facilitate the launching of the plan it is desired that as many clubs as possible will son's woik, together with such information as will be of Interest to club women. The has the hearty sympathy of the federation president. Mrs. Hecrotln, who, together with many of the heads of the organization, had long felt the need of proper representation In the daily press.

Just at this time the whole tbougtit In elub circles Is fixed upon the biennial ronrention which opens in Denver at 11 o'clock on the morning of June 21. Cnnsual actirity has characterized the preparations, and volume VI. of federation records promises. In consequence, to eclipse any that hare gone 'before. The women's clubs of Denver here laid themselves eut -to make the convention a historic one, with every prospect of belug successful, and adding to the reputation of Dearer as a conren-tlon city.

The programme for the six days is varied and able, introducing some of the most prom inent ronnn in federation affairs. The exercises will be given over almost exclusively the care of specialists In the different lines. For Instance; at the meeting on the afternoon of June 23, en "The Home," the presiding officer will be Dr. Mary E. Green of Charlotte, president of the National Household Economic It la possible that in connection with meeting there will be an object lesson by a class of children trained by Mrs.

Fischel of St. Louis. Mrs, Fischel, who Is a wealthy woman. Is a devotee of this Iic6 of work. She trains classes of children la "home economics," and teaches other women to train them, something; after the manner of the kitchen gar den classes.

Her line of teaching goes further than the latter, taking up the ethical aide of home life and teaching, in a style based on the kindergarten methods, the du- uea or eacn memoer or tne nousenoia, ana how they should be fulfilled. Mrs. Lyndon Evans, wno has worked so devotedly and so effectively In the clubs of self-supporting women In Chicago, the lunch clubs, evening clubs, and others, and who will preside at the meeting of Wednesday afternoon, devoted to "Phases of Kcot.omlc In Clubs," will tell the story of these clubs, the only ones of their kind In America i how through them the girls who earned their living have provided themselves with pleasant lunchrooms and nourishing. Inexpensive lunches: classes in a multitude of branches: circulating libraries, gymnasiums, and many other benefits, and all without a touch of the bitter wand of charity, but per va Jed by the beautiful club spirit, which makea all equal. At -the educational meeting, Wednesday evenlna.

Miss Laws, auditor ef the O. I W. will preside, and among the speakers will be Mrs. Mary E. Mum ford, former rice preel- dent of the General federation; Mrs.

Tho party leaves Chicago, over the Burlington on June 17 at 5:30 p. m.

There will be work laid cut In Omaha, however, where, a special programme will be given. Luncheon will be served on the exposition grounds and a reception will be tendered theta the same evening.

The delegates will also be ca'led upon to fill the Omaha pulpits from among the female pastors in the party. The time en route between Omaha and Denver will be consumed by discussions of a purely parliamentary nature, so that no hours shall be enprofltably In Illinois there are more than 200 women's clubs. Three years ago the only ones In existence In this state were In Chicago, Peoria. Springfield, and Jacksonville. Mothers ought to gather at the club, from contact with other thinking women, eaouga new and diversified thought to interest tho whole family.

Why is it that a spirited, not to say rancorous, debate in a woman's club or organization causes so much astonished newspaper comment, whereas a tree fight in the French Chamber ot Deputies, the Austrian Reichstag, the English House of Commons, or oar own sogust Senate Is looked upon as something to be expected and not at all worthy of animadversion? The Club Woman. The emblem of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs Is known In nearly every country on the globe. It represents forty- four states and 504.000 general club women. It has a Federated Club of Indian Women from the Penobscot tribe, two in London, one in India, one in Australia, and one In South Africa. The federation stands tor something greater than a social scramble or a selfish gratification for ambition.

It builds on the principle ot common-senss reform, broad democracy, and human sympathy. It is constructive, not destructive. Every biennial Is a step toward the achievement of Its hopes and prayers. WOMEN AT THE CONVENTION. Varlaaa Caaaldatea aieatlaae far aa Trasteeshla.

Julia B. Shattuck. all of Chicago; Mrs. Lutx of Lincoln, and Mrs. CarMe T.

Alexander of Belleville. All are thorough Republicans, most of them having been actively engaged during tho last two campaigns for the nomination and election ot a woman upon the state university board of trustees. All belter In tho political equality of women all are women ot liberal education and of executive ability. Mrs. Blackwelder is a graduate of the State University of Kansas.

Mrs. Shattuck is a graduate of Hillsdale college, Michigan, and a member of its board ot women commissioners. Mrs. Alexsnder was valedictorian ot her class at Montlcello seminary and Is well known la Q. A.

R. circles. Mrs. Frake Is a member of the Chicago board of education. Mrs.

Abbott Is well known In club circles. while Mrs. Luti has abilities which, in the estimation of her friends, place her on an equality with other candidates for the trustee ship. It Is quite likely that the delegates from counties outside of Cook will concede the choice of candidate to Cook county this year, since the reverse was the case two years ago. There are now two women on the state board, Mrs.

Flower, whose term of office expires two years hence, and Mrs. four years both Republicans. Three trus tees will be elected in November to serve six years. WANTS CHICAGO DAY IN OMAHA. Caaaty Deaaaeraey Dlseanes Its Trip Traas-31 IsslsslppI Kxstoaltlam.

Ia ao preceding year In tho history of tho country have the exports of our manufactures equaled in value the Imports of manufactured articles. Ia the fiscal year 1897 the Imports of manufactured articles exceeded tho value of exports of manufactures by the sum of in 18 by $104,759,784, and la 1896 by IU1.4U.78J. Nearly every branch of our great manufacturing industries has shared in this growth of our sales to other parts of the world.

Manufactures of cotton show an Increase of 50 per cent In the ralue of their exports during the past ten years; exports of chemicals hare also increased 60 per cent la ralue during the same time. Manufactures of brass hare Increased from $308,124 In 1888 to orer In 1898. whUe manufactures of copper, la-eluding ingots and bars, which la 1888 were $3,812,798. were last yesr $31,621,123. and seem likely to exceed that sum In 1898.

Letter Haa Made a rreffL It tho newspaper reports ot young Mr. Loner's operations la wheat ar to be believed, he has beea saved from loss and has mad a profit by this farorablo stats of ths money market, Whoa, last December, his antagonists scoured tho country tor real wheat aad poured It la upon him at tho rate ot a mil-lloa bushels a day, tho Chicago banks. It la said, came to his assistance, and lent him, upon collateral security furnished by his father, the money be needed to meet his contracts. Had they refused to do this, and had ho beea compelled te sell the wheat delivered to him la order to get money to pay tor It, his entire scheme would hare beea wrecked, aad ho would hare beea financially ruined.

As It la. he Is said still to hare oa his hands 4.000.000 or 5.000.000 bushels at wheat, which, at th current price, represents more than his supposed profits, and. whatever price ho must hare paid for It. It cannot bow be aold without aweeplng away a large part of those profits. It aot the whole of them.

If. tor example, ho has given tor this wheat $1 per bushel more than ho Is likely to get for It whea ho sells It bis loss will be between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. or precisely what ho la supposed to hare gained by dealings extending orer many months, and Involving a turnover of S5.000.000 or 40,000,000 bushels. At best, therefore, his profit bears aa Insignificant proportion to tho risk ho haa run, aad by ao means courage others to Imitate his example. It la bat just to Mr.

Loiter to say that he disclaims baring engaged la "cornering tho commodity ia which he has been dealing, but ho bought It purely upon th business principle that It was selling for less than It was worth, and. therefore, that It was a wise operation ta buy. It and hold It for a rise. Justice also requires that he bo acquitted of the crime, with which ho has tteea charged by reckless demagogue, of baring artificially enhanced tho cost ot food and thus of baring caused untold misery to millions ot poor people. Wheat continues but a- small fraction of ths world's dietary aad tho recent rise la Its price barely puts Its coat aa food back to where It waa a few years ago.

Even If Its price were bow extortionate, it could bo replaced with rye. Indian corn, rice, potatoes, and all the rar-ctles of green rege tables. Tho reason why efforts to corner the sup ply of staple commodities almost invariably fail, and if they are made with borrowed money, bankrupt those who engage ia them. Is, simply, that tt takes two to make a bargain. There can be no aal without a buyer as well as a seller, and the mass of buyers can always refuse to buy If they choose to.

Toe cases In which men ars compelled to buy because tbey have, in turn, made contracts to sell, which they can fulfill only by buying for delivery, are eeirj-iraMTcIy rare, and even ia them there la always th resource ef defaulting oa the contract, A partleular stock er a particular modlty of limited supply may thus bo cor Bored to tho profit of the ooraerer, but one ef which the supply aa well aa the demand comas from a multitude of oouroos Is yond tho central of any feamaa being ar combiaatlea ot human beings. Wheat, for lnstaac. as waa abewa last December, caa be gathered ta from thousands af producers who waited only for the stimulus ot a high price to pour their hoards into tho market, aad oa tho other hand tho consumers ot tt art si war, as ha beea shown, at liberty ta some ether kind of food, aad usually do so whea Its price is high. Coraer that Cellapeed. The most notable Instance la recent years ef the wsy la which a coraer at aay article of extensive use Is defeated of lta pin poo by tho spontaneous combination of consumers against it Is that of the great European copper syndicate of 187 -t, the manager ot which was Monsieur aV Decretsn of Paris, aad whose financial backer was th beak known aa tho Comptolr d'Eecompta ot ths same city.

Observing that copper, which previously had sold at the level of about 80 per ton. had. la consequence of the aew supplies coming from the United States, Australia, Japan, aad Chill, fallen to about 40 per ton, whUo at tho same time there was a prospect of a greatly Increased demand for it for electrical machinery and conductors. Monsieur 8ecretan conceived tho idea that by cornering the supply tho price could bo raised so ss to yield aa immense profit. Faraaeel a lyweUeate.

succeeded la forming, to put his Idea Into execution, a syndicate, which, in October, 1887, made contracts with the principal copper producers la tho world for their entire product, and then began lta operations. Tho price of copper waa at one more thaa doubled, sales baring beea made before tho oad of 1387 at slightly over 85 per ton. All through 1888, aad until March 1889. tho price waa kept at about 60 per too, but la March. 1889, the crash cam.

The syndicate waa loaded with 180,000 teas of copper oa hand aad 325,000 tons deliverable to It, for which there waa ao sale, and tho Comptolr d'Escompto suspended payment aad lta manager committed suicide. The syndicate, having ao means of raising more moaey, necessarily failed to take th copper tor which It had contracted with tho copper producers, a panlo la tho copper market ensued, and tho metal fell oa th 18th of March to 35 per tea. recovering to 40. the loss to tho syndicate oa Its actual holdings being 5,000,000. aad that oa Its cob tracts 8.000.000, making Its entire loos 13.000,000.

Tho cause ot tho catastrophe was ths usual ens of a production exceeding the estimate of th syndicate, aad a consumption falling abort of even that estimate. Mad Mleealeaiatlea. The syndicate counted upon a world's production of only 260,000 tons, whereas, at th eod of seventeen months, ths surplus alone of production over consumption waa over duv.vu ions. Every mine which aad beea closed whea copper sold at 40 per too waa reopened whea tt rose to and onward, and consumers who had beea baying at 40 stopped, buying long before It got to 80, aad. either ceased operations, or need la them old copper and metals ether thaa coDner.

Thus. area It the syadicats had beea able to go oa indefinitely cornering tho supply. It could aot have created a demaad equal to If, aad the longer the coraer ceatlnned the mare dis astrous would hare beea Its final collapse. It may be asked why the Standard Oil cam-paay, which ta said to hare a permanent corner la petroleum, aad the American Sugar Refining company, which la said ta hare a ilka corner In refined sugar, do not suffer the fate ot other cornerers. but.

oa the contrary, ar extremely prosperous. The answer Is that these companies hare newer saasht tn raise th price of their prod net above that wnica would naturally prevail If they did aot exist. Their prosperity comes from cmba. mles la production which their Immense op erations enable them to make, aad from tho suppression of a competition which formerly caused a wildly fluctuating market, aad at times reduced prices below cost. Should these companies ever attempt to make a real coraer.

aad to raise price a bore their natural level, they would inevitably invite aew competition, check consumption, aad ultimately suffer th tat of tho French copper syndicate.
