TEULOW PARTS GOWN TVORN BY MISS ADELB RITCHIE.
A WOMAN'S CONGRESS.
International Alliance Invited to
Meet in New-York.
The first meeting of the newly organized
International Woman Suffrage Alliance is to
be held in New-York In 1909. on the Invitation
of the Interurban Political Equality Council,
representing the five boroughs of the metrop
clis. Th« matter was decided at a meeting of
the council held yesterday momlng at the
Martha Washington Hotel, after a long and
serious debate, for the members of the council
van* to Co credit to their country, and after the
magnificent way in which the International
Ctocndl of Women was entertained In Berlin
they feel It to be no light matter to undertake
« similar task. They cannot hope, they say, to
equal Berlin unless the city government co
operates with them, as was the case in Berlin,
and some of the members entertain grave
doobta as to the possibility of securing such as
sistance. They are going to try, however, and
Miss Mary Garrett Hay declares that she has
enough faith in the city fathers to believe that
they will do the proper thing.
Several hundred women of every civilized
nationality will be represented at the coming
meeting. Woman suffrage associations affili
ated with the alliance exist In ten countries
Australia, England. Denmark, Holland, Hun
gary, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany
and th« United States. Besides this there are
committees working toward organization In
Canada, France, Iceland, Poland, Italy, Austria
and Bohemia, and all of these countries will
send representatives to the first meeting of the
alliance.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, of New-York, was
elected president of the alliance at the time of
Its organization in Berlin, and it was through
her efforts that the association was formed. As
president of the National Woman Suffrage As
sociation of the United States she called a meet-
Ing in Washington four years ago to discuss an
international organization, and at this meeting
an international committee was formed to work
out plans for the permanent organization which
was formed at Berlin.
Miss Susan B. Anthony Is honorary president
of the aiiiance and the vice-presidents are Mrs.
Mlllicent Fawcett. of England, and Dr. Anita
Augspurg, the first woman lawyer of Germany.
The secretaries are Kathe Schirmacher, a Ger
man dramatist ; Rachel Foster Avery, of thla
country, and Johanna Naber, to whom the gov
ernment of Holland has Just presented a gold
medal in recognition of her historical work. The
treasurer is Miss Rodger Cunliffe, a literary
woman, of London.
An executive meeting of the alliance is to be
held in London during the summer, and part «t
the business will he to arrange for the making
end distribution of the international badge. De
elgr.s for this badge have been submitted by all
the countries where suffrage associations have
been organized, and Denmark has been the suc
cessful competitor. Her design is in the form
of an old Roman coin, bearing the figure of
Justice ana the legend "Jus Suffragil." The ar

WOMEN IN THE SCHOOIA
Margaret Hol«y spent the summer In Nor
way, and saw with the greatest Interest th«
voting on the question of the separation of Nor
way and Sweden. The whole population turn«d
out to the polling- booths, so intense was the in
terest. The ballot boxes were draped with the
national colors, and every man was accompanied
by the women of his family, so Interested wera
they in tho result.
A meeting of women was held in Rochester
recently which passed a strong resolution in
favor of the re-election of Mrs. "W. A. Mont
gomery to tha school board.
In spit© of the alleged reaction against women
teachers, the proportion of women teachers to
men is growing more rapidly now than years
ago. In 1870 the percentage of teachers was:
Males. 33.7; females, 66.3. In ISBO it was:
Males, 32.2; females, 67.8. Ten years later it
was: Males, 29.2; females, 70. 5. Ten years later
again, in 1900, it was: Males, 23.6; females, 73.4.
In spite of th' 3 criticisms of the Mosely commis-
Eion on the undue proportion of women teachers
in America, this proportion is increasing yearly
in England, and in every other country of the
world which has public schools— even Mexico
and Germany.
Walter J. Ballard, of Schenectady. says In
-The Journal of Education": "Our female school
teachers outnumber their male colleagues by
three to one. This excess is greater in Uncle
Sam's country than in any other country in
the world. It's a good excess — every unit of It.
There is no more honorable profession for
women among us. The raising of American
boys and girls is a grand profession— God bless
the good mothers of America— but the training
of the minds, thoughts, habits and lives of those
boys and girls means everything to America."
Hot/fete/foey Exchange,
IN WONDERLAND.
■U'hore did I spend my pleasant vacation?
In a bit of wonderland.
In Yellowstone Park? Not at all: that is a trip
for the future. This wonderland I speak of was
much more accessible, and had the added merit of
little expense.
Tell you about it? "With pleasure. Well, you
know we spent last year in Salt Lake City. Here
we were only about forty miles from some of the
finest scenery in the Rocky Mountains. You don't
believe it? t'tah is a perfect treasure house for the
fortunate ones who know of her many beautiful
corners.
This vacation of ours had to be limited to so
many hours, not days or weeks, and you will agree
the- hours were filled to overflowing.
Our destination was the Hot Pots. Now, I pre
sume you never heard of them. We made this trip
on horseback, four of us starting at 4:30 a. m. that
lovely summer morning, horses fresh and eager to
go before that great ball of fire should appear over
Twin Peaks and shine Into our cool canyons.
Wo were lightly packed, as accommodations could
be had at the Hot Pots, taking only a light meal
for ourselves and the horses. From the time we
entertd the canyon until we reached the divide. it
was a gradual ascent of about 4,000 feet, but the
wonders of that canyon! Tho freshness over all
before the sun espied us and decided to make the
trip tool Did you ever feel as If you were the very
first man on earth; as if nature had Just finished
her work and you had been given the firßt glimpse
of It? That is the way I felt that morning- in the
canyon. At 10 o'clock we reacheu our highest point,
the divMe, 9,000 feet, and from there on for the next
fifteen miles it was a drop of 8.000 feet Into one of
the njost fertile valleys in the West.
On top of the divide we could Bee over a saddle
Into this valley; by scanning closely wo could
make out the Hot Pots, great haystacks they
looked, a dozen of them glimmering in the brilliant
sunlight, us If some giant had been giving his best
attention to his great hay fields lately. On closer
Inspection these "haystacks" proved to be lime
formations thrown up by the immense heat of the
hot springs under them. Some were cone shaped
and others had burst open, leaving the interior of
the cone dry and warm. The lining to one sheli
showed many colors, while the bed of one "pot"
was a perfect flower garden of wild roses. Another,
not bo fortunate In what It sheltered, proved to be
the home of rattlesnakes. From the waters of the
lorrest spring a big plunge had been built, and oh,
the Pleasure of a swim in that glorious pool after
„. i,,i,ir and dusty rids!
Th« springs were not sulphur, but were highly
charged with other minerals. We were supplied
with bathing suits, and that swlui of a couple of
hoii'. well repaid us for the miles we had travelled.

the next day and had an early plunge before break

pink silk moussoline to harmonize with the pink
chrysanthemums which formed the chief note
In ths decoration of the rooms, and her bouquet
was of pink roses.
Dry TV. I* Bradley was the best man.
A charming feature of the ceremony was the
presence of the three nephews and niece of the
bride, who assisted as ribbon bearers. Preced
ing the bridal party, they made an aisle of white
ribbon down which it passed to Us place before a
bank of palms in the dining room.

MT HAPPIEST VACATION.
One summer, not many years ago, Penelope and
I rented a hou.se In a tiny village In the heart of
the Catskills. The man whose home we occupied
was a travelling man, and as the services of his
wife and daughters Had been unexpectedly re
quired at a nearby boarding house during the
season Orchard Cottage was at our disposal for
the summer.
With the house were included a vegetable gar
den full of vegetables, an apple orchard full of
appl.is, a woodhouse full of wood, a garden fall
of flowers, a telephone, a piano and a cow. I wish
to add to this list a glorious mountain view, but
do not see exactly where to fit the item in. Some
how, in reality, it fitted in most harmoniously.
We took with us a cook and a small boy, two
indispensable additions to a country establishment.
Thomas, the boy, was a good child, quick and
willing-, his greatest fault being a too keen sense
of humor. His duties were varied. He it was
who brought the cow from pasture, milked her,
turned the ice cream freezer until our favorite
dessert was brought to perfection, and then served
us with all tho airs of a city butler. Then ho
must go a mile for the mail earn noon, reminded
at the moment of starting, that we were waiting
for our letters, although blackberries were ripe
along tho way. Poor Thomas! But he also had
his Joys He It was who always drove for us and
with horses Thomas was nappy, as was Penelope
With her piano and I with my paints.
Every morning, as soon as our household tasks
were finished, I would follow the hill road beyond
the next farm and make some bit of tansy bordered
stonewall my own, or go Into n pasture and sketch
the unsuspecting sheep, or. best of all to my
mind, study the spreading branches, gigantic trunk
and mossy roots of some old hemlock, left to tell
the story of the past utility and grandeur of the
wilderness. On these fetching trips I made
friends with many a shy creature. Sitting Quietly
at mv work the squirrels and birds lost all fear
of m and often turned the tables by startling me
by their nearness. The woods around our moun
tain home were full of treasures. Ferns, red ber
ries and wonderful moepes grew at our feet. Some
times deep in a grove of old maples, we would find
a sugar "house, with Its atone chimney and pile

Its radiance over bill and valley and was reflected

A GIFT.

Emperor William mny promulgate his doctrine of
the "three. XV for women, but when he bestows
a public honor on a woman it is one who has noth

in Germany on whom he ever bestowed the Order
of Honor wiis Miss Grete Waldau, one of tho
famous architectural painters of Europe. She has
executed mural paintings in many Important build

"One salient difference between France and Eng

better horse on the Continent," said an Englishman.
"Tho French bourgeoise is eminently a business
woman. It la she who runs the shop, presides at
the till, la shrewd and practical, and it is she who
glvea her husband the money with which to enjoy
himself mildly at tho cafe. Nothing impresses Itself
more in Franco than the commercial domination
of the wife.
"Yet in the upper classes the French woman is
Inferior to the English womnn. She is Hparkliiii?.
attractive, mid knows how to put on lv r clothes
better than the English worr.nn. But she roads
very little, and travels very little, and therefore her
ideas are few and narrow. She never Interests her

English women understand more intelligently than
any other women in the world."

PLANS FOR SILVER LAKE.
i ■
To Be First of Many Public Parks
on Staten Island.
The Department of Parks is now at -work on
plans for the Improvement of Stiver Lake Park.
In the hills of Staten Island, which is to be the
first of a series of large parks in the Borough
of Richmond. It was said yesterday that the
Board of Estimate would soon be asked for an
appropriation to continue the work begun by
the Richmond County Park Association.
The park was brought to public attention
through Tho Tribune on Sunday by the fact that
those who live in the Silver Lake region were
getting up a petition of protest against the
nightly revels held at a German beer garden
and dancing pavilion on the shore of the lake
and entirely within the property owned by the
city. The citizens wanted to know why such a
place was permitted to operate If the city was
really in control of the park.
The secretarty of the Department of Parks
paid yesterday that the present arrangement
with the proprietor of the saloon was merely a
temporary one. The city took over the park
about two months ago and found the saloon In
operation. It had been there for a long time
and was regularly licensed. The department
was assured by the members of the Richmond
Park Association that the proprietor was trust
worthy and that the place was carefully man
aged. There was no sign of a protest from the
neighbors.
According to the secretary of the Park Board
the city entered into a temporary agreement
with the saloon man, under which he paid the
city $20 a month and looked after the letting
of boats on the lake in return for the privilege
of continuing in business. The city hag no or
ganized park force in Richmond Borough as
yet, for until Silver Lake Park was created
there were only two small squares or grass
plots in the borough.
Silver Lake Park consists of sixty-five acres,
of which fifteen are covered with the water of
the lake. It is one of the most .beautiful spots
on Staten Island, and it is to be given natural
treatment. Already a fine drive has been laid
out along the shore of the lake, connecting In
two places with the main highway. The im
provements will include the construction of
walks and paths, and possibly the construction
of a summer house, in which restaurant priv
ileges will be let to the highest bidder, as is
done in other city park^. Some of the mem
bers of the board favor buying additional prop
erty to the west of the lake, where the city's
line is only a few hundred feet back from the
water.
In the mean time the citizens of Grymes Hill
are going ahead with their petition to the De
partment of Parks, asking that some curb be
put on the gayety at the little hotel on the
lake. They particularly object to the crowds of
noisy picnickers, who have been diverted from
the beach resorts by the advertising which Sil
ver Lake has lately received.

SCARE FOR MARRIED TEACHERS.
Rumor of General Suspension Has Small
Foundation.
The married teachers of the public schools have
been alarmed fn the last few days by a rumor that
the Board of Education or some high official of
the Department of Education has caused thn sus
pension of several married teachers as a prelimi
nary step to a general removal of all who have
profited by the concession made by the Board of
Education a year ago.
This nimor is not true. The Court of Appeals
has decided that the Board of Education cannot
dismiss married teachers. As teachera marry their
names are reported to the board, so that the names
may be changed in the official records. If the law
ever gives the board the absolute right to suspend
teachers for marrying no teachers previously mar
ried can be interfered with, since retroactive laws
are prohibited by the Constitution of tha United
States.
The rumor started in the announcement that
three teachers had been suspended. Of the thr«=-e
one was suspended because of continued absence
without leave; another, because she had married
and moved away to Pittsburg and had forgotten
to resign, and the third for another infraction of
the bylaws.
REGULAR EVENING SCHOOL COURSE.
Four Years of Instruction Based on Day
Work Begun.
The first step toward a uniform four years' course
of study in the evening elementary schools will be
made this fall. Dr. M. J. Elgas, the district super
intendent in charge of the evening schools, has told
his principals that they must adopt this winter a
systematic form of instruction based on tho course
of study given in the day schools. The course of
s;tudy in the day schools requires eight years for
completion. It is made up of studies known as
•essentials" and "non-essentials." It is Dr. El
gas's Intention to condense this course into half
its size by eliminating the so-called "non-essential 1
elements.
The condensed course will include studies already
taught in the elementary evening schools. Chief
amung these are English, Including rond'njr; spell
ing, including the meaning and use of words; Eng
lish composition, arithmetic, penmanship, geog
raphy, bookkeeping, hygiene, physical training,
American history and civics.
TARS RAISE ENTERTAINMENT FUND.
Bluejackets "Will Act as Hosts to Visiting
British Marines.
More than 110.000 has been raised by the enlisted
men of Rear Admiral Evans's squadron to enter
tain Prince Louis of Battenberg and the men of
the British squadron which is coming here to tako
part in the Joint naval manoeuvres.
A great part of the entertainment fund will b<
spent at Annapolis. The programme for this port
will be arranged later by the officers and men. The
white squadron will not act as convoy for the
British warships from Hamptcn Roads to N.v, -
York Harbor, as originally planned, but will come
from the Chesapeake a day ahead of the British
ships
On account of the many advantages afforded for
target practice at Cape Cod Bay, a recommenda
tion is to be made to the Navy Department to make
those waters the permanent practice ground. Th«
absence of passing ships, the smoothness of the
water and the splendid climatic conditions will be
mentioned among the advantages.
