Seme Interesting Tapers Illustrating rYemen's Share in the Solution of Social iToblem. In answer to a call issued by a largo nnmber of prominent ladies, proposing to form an Illinois Social Science Association as an auxiliary to ihe Kational Social Science Association, some 250 ladies gathered at Herney Music Hall yesterday morning.

Tbey came from all parts of tbe State, anxious to form themselves into an organization whoa ooject should be "to suggest and develop plans for the advancement of industrial, intellect a al. social, educational, and philanthropic Interests, to the end that we mar help secure better homes, schools, churches, charities, and laws, and better service for humanity and Uod." There were present lady physicians, lawyers, and preachers, philanthropists, teachers, missionaries, musicians, artists, authors, temperance reformers, elocutionist, journalists, and business women in fact, as goodly a representation of the brains and talent embodied in "toe sex" as could be found, but it is doubtful whether a casual observer would have thought himself in the presence of the women whose strong mindednes is supposed to be apparent In outbreaks of bloomers, hair combed a i'homme. spectacles, stray locks, and lack of cosmetiuues.

L. WA1.DNEH, OF CA1KO, on "Industrial Schools for Girls." Mrs. Wardner went on to say that up to 176 thirty-six industrial schools were established in nineteen States of the Union. These are mainly for boys, only four exclusively for girls. In some, where both had been received, as more room was needed, the girls are excluded: as in Waukesha, where seventy-three girls were turned out.

and. though promise had been made to provide, for ttiem. nothing yet had been done. Soon after the war. the attention of sortie charitable la.iiis was called to the necessity of providing for the girls left orphans; an asylum wus built, but it did not fit the ru to earn their living, and when found homes, they were returned again and again as idcapable of wort.

At the present time the reform school ut Pon-tiuc. 111., receives :I0.0hi every two years for its support, but it does not receive girls. Touching on tne scorn with which they wer regarded by the Persians, who do not count their daughters, and the Chinese, who comfortably dispose of them.

Tno necessity of saving children from pauiMirism Hid crime was dwelt on. liirls uro left in the street under the influence of vile men until they become uncontrollable, i'hey are arrested, dragged into jail, shut up with criminals, and come out worse than before. Some reformers assert that Is more difficult to reclaim girls than boys, but the majority prove to tne contrary. A slight glance at the mo of Margaret the mother ot Crimmeilo and ner descendants, will show as a matter of state economy the im portance of training and sheltering girls. From Margaret, "the raoiher of Crimmeilo." descended souls the lives of TOO of them have been traced: KM! were liligitimate.

The aim of an industrial school should be not punishment but preventi in: conditions for admittance, vagrancy, wivertv. illegi timacy, or misfortune.

Is there any slavery that compares with the bondage of uncongenial society, the drear farce of social relation? There are some the wrong when the questions. Is he rich, stylisa Is ho hich bred, elegant are asked before th doors of society nre opened to an aspirant.

All society's belle thicks about is to fanlt less in dress, perfect in manner, not Dure I thought, and inc in heart. Kmerson says: When intellect and character slumber. then dress demands attention. Convict life i cot so wasting to the body as the demands of so cietv upon its devotees. The folly of these entertainments given at such cot or time and money, and hringfnhr nothing in return, was evputialed on in a contrast drawn between the literary feasts giveu by the Cary sis ters.

Uut now such gatherings would only incur nemit. The fact that women do not fit themselves fo intellectual society is the necessity for these frivolous banquets. Vhampagne is a more fitting accompaniment for women than tea and toast. With an appeal to women to shake off the shack les of fashion, to free their souis from thoughts of velvets and laces, and deTote themselves to something tnat would Iwtter fit them for the world beyond the tomb, the essay ended.

MART AFFORD BLAKt, OF BOSTON, forrnei-lyof this city, then addressed the meet ing. Dr. Blake expressed herself as most happy to be once more among her friends, htie though the motives that induced such a gathering as this were admirable.

it in a true womanly spirit, would be well done. Just so far as women nave high aims and begin noble works, so did they throw off those stilling frivolities of fashion and folly. Mrs Blake, who is a tiny little woman in a very short dress, prophesied that In ten years trom now were a similar meeting held, the ladies would leave their trains at home. The first necessity in woman life was physical health and strength Wo cannot obtain that until our dress leaves us as free and untrammeled as that of men. Above all things let ladies practice what they preach, and tney will De uateneu to.

MBS. WILLIAM K. LYNDE. OP MILWAUKEE then gave some of her experience while serving on the State Board of Chanties for the last live years. The great number of institutions for the unfortunate people of a State necessitated asylums and homes of different kinds.

To over see these is appointed a Urate Hoard of Charities, and on a board of Ore gentlemen the speaker was appointed. She felt that there were many abuses that only a woman's eye could discover. as habit of mind, attention to details, and kcowl edge ot domestic affairs fit her to. She is much better to elicit responses or confidence than men who wonld only meet with stolid or insolent re plies. Reform work will never be successfully accomplished until women take their part in it.

JO tnina oi so ciety and ignore dress is impossible. Americana dress more in accordance with their means than do any other people. With simplicity of refreshment might come simplicity ot dress. The beauty and simplicity of youth is lost in superfluity of adornment, until we sigh for the simple white muslin and natural hair of yore.

There was a great meeting of loyal Democrats last night at the West Twelfth Street Turner Ilall. General Lieb was there, about sixteen of his clerks were there, and possibly forty citizens "opposed to the continuance of Republican rule1 were there.

It was truly a fraud: all Democratic mass meetings are great frauds. Kvery man in the room wants an office. Communistic speeches were the order of the evening. Sour grapes were plenty. At the proper moments the Lieb hire lings stamped their feet, and the noor.

ignorant gang fell into line, clapped their bands, and cheered with nil the enthusiasm they could pos sibly muster. General Lieb's mass meeting must prove to him that he is not held very close to the hearts of the Democrats of Cook County. The General sat near the door.and after waiting in vain lor his Irieud to appear and nil tne nail disheartened stole quietly away to think, no doubt, with disgust of the abominable failure of his little advertising scneme. The ofllce-hoident that remained enthused as much as possible, but they could not till the room, although they madu as much noise as dos- rible. and did everything in their power to make I i the best ot a very decided failure.

The meeting was called to order by Mr. Peter Smith. He said tnat the meetiug was called by the Democrats of tne Seventh and Eighth Wards of the city of Chicago. He nominated General Lieb as Cnairman. and said that "all those in favor of the motion will please say aye.

and no, no." There were a great many more noes than ayes, nut the temporary chairman said the ben era! was elected. General Lieb declined to act. Mr. ilan Herting nominated Mr. Pat McManus as chairman.

He was elected, but declined the honor. Mr. John Comiekey was finally chosen, and said that he was very much surprised at having the great honor conferred on him. He said that the meeting was called bv those who opoose Re publican rule. He said he would not make a speech.

and thereupon made quite a long one, claiming that the Republican party was the cause of all Ihe trouble for the nast sixteen years. The lie publicuns legislate lor tne lew. against the many: lor the rich, against the poor. Uo i exaggerate at all? 1 not. The Republican party has almost driven the country into a rebellion.

The Henublican leaders steal all they cau. and then go to 11 rope to spend the money they have stolen from the poor. The Republican party ot this country has aiwavs been the enemy of the people of this country. He then spoke of the llnancial condition of the cottnlrT. Indeed, he made a I0112 and tedious sieech.

Mr. Thomas Kaveuaugh was then asked to act a Secretary. Mr. kavauaugn very sensibly de clined iving anything to do with the meeting. Mr.

Joan Hickey was then chosen Secretary. Two or three voices then faintly called. "Doo little," whereupon James. Jr. placed him self unon the stage and made a nerv Uerao orallc rpeech.

He used all the old and threadbare argurceuts o( the ordinary Democratic kiump speakers. Possibly there was one redeeming feature in his speven. renegade speak only of the acts of the party to wnien they have deserted, that have happened alter they have be come identified with the party, but Mr. Doolittle rWerred bock o-s 'r ItOi. and that is about four years before his father, and consequently be left the ilcpublicui party, uoolitue dwelt at length upon the finances of the country, claim inn that the Republicans had stolen all the wealth of the country.

Van l'atten would have been proud of the speech, lly the way, possibly tan Patten win tei down and out. and allow James to lead the communists. James. spoke very feelingly of tne little ones, the children, the mere oabes that are oompelled to work because. they did nor.

tney win starve, nder Ite publican rule labor is not paid sufficiently. The father cannot sapoort his children. He does not believe in taxing the laboring man. James Jr. speech was long, stupid, dramatic, communistic.

ail: v. A few other sieeches were made, and the mass meeting 01 those opposed to Republican rule was then, unrortuaateiy. a thing 01 history. TWELFTH WARD BEP1HLICAXS.

Touching upon the Count Commissioners elected as partisans, now on trial for embezzling the public lands, he said tne people bad enough of such servants, and it was his opinion that the Republican party could not go into the field on the reputation of this party alone.

The capitalists who have been viewing the site or a north lake shore railroad still retain the idea, out will give up the seheme if the oroperty-owners along the proposed route do not meet them half way. When the question of a road was first broached the residents were one and all anxious to have it carried out.

The property along the line affords the best building sites in the vicinity of the city, but now is comparatively cneap because of the want of means of access to it. With the road along the shore, from the city to Waukegao. the blurls would furnish high and dry locations for residences, nnsarpassed in the suburbs. Now that the issue has come, a number of short-sighted property -holders who own long tracts, demand such a price for the right of way that at present the scheme seems to be practically defeated. Another, but a minor question has arisen in the preliminary examination of the project thatot the elevation of the road bed.

RUTLAND'S CHURCH SCANDAL How a Deacon Was Led Astray ky aa 1 Womu His Opn Coafesstea iFrom the Bostoa PoeVJ Vermont seems to offer a rich field for Mr. Moody.

Tbe Cheeney scandal at Rutland, in which the young; wife of an old man confesses to intimacy with another man. has suddenly increased in importance, and other and prominent persons have been implicated. It seems that, in accordance with Mrs. Cheeney's de sire, the deacons of tbe Baptist Church called on her, and she was very anxious that, on account of a daughter, 6he should not be ex pelled from the church. She thought she had repented, and, as her husband had forgiven her, she did not see why being put on proba tion wonld not answer all requirements of church discipline.

Finding that the deacons did not take this view, she threatened to make other exposures, even telling the pastor. Mr. Blchardson. that one of his dea cons was as deep in tne mua as ane was tne mire. ThU seemed to go against her In the minds of the deacons present, and at the church meeting Monday night they reported that she should be expelled on account of gross immorality.

On ha rbrwvrt having been made, one of tbe deacons, a man past the 'prime of lit who was cretnt with his wife, passed a letter to the pastor. If a lighted bomb had fallen amid the assembly, the commotion which followed the reading could not have been greater. Tne substance was that tbe deacon bad himself fallen a victim to the wiles of this woman.aod for the past year bad repeat-dlv been criminally intimate with her. the intimacy having begun while the deacon was watching at the bedside of Mrs. Cheeney's husband, then supposed to be on his deathbed.

The deacon requested to be excelled, considering that be was as giiilty aa the woman, and that hewttad been mistaken as to his conversion, ttoth parties were immediately excelled from ths The deacon has heretofore borne the best of reputations, and not a whisper had ever been heard in the community against him. Hiram L. Cheeney, the husband of the woman, on Wednesday tnnrnlnir advertised his wife, warning people neither to trust nor harbor her on his account. Her friends, ft is now reported, will take legal steps to compel him to re Hind the tacnev which sne Drougn nun at her marriage. Other important disclosures are expected.
