A REPL'ULIC OF IDEAS.
National Council to IJc Organized as a
Parliament of Two Branches.
A question of groat moment to the National
Council of 'Women will bo discussed and
probably sottled at its prosont session. This
question "involves a change in tho organic
law of tho council. and, briefly
stated, is that the council is to bo
divided into a parliament of two branches,
such as the Lords and Commons, or the Sen
ate and Houso of Representatives. It was
said yesterday that the Countess of Aberdeon,
Lady Somei set, Mrs. Sewali, president of tho
council, and several other of the high offi
cials favor such an organization of the coun
cil Mrs. Sewali was called upon last night at
tho Ebbitt Hou-e and waB asked what there
was in this reported departure.
"Yes," she said "such a proposition is be
ing discussed, but, perbap3. if I elucidate
the wholo idea of the national council, you
will bo bettor able to understand tho struc
ture and relations of tho two houses, under
which form, it will probablv convene here
after. To our Idea tho National Council of
Women is what may bo called a republic of
ideas in which national organizations of
womou dbuut as tbo territory.
"Every national organization having no re
lation whatever to the Nationnl Council, you
may compare to that part of tho public do
main which is yet unorganized even under
territorial form of governmont.whilo every na
tional organization which sends fraternal dele
gates to tho council's triennial so33ion may bo
compared to those parts of tho public domain
organized nnder territorial governments;
again, every national organisation belonging
to the National Council is in this woman's
republic, a sinio. Th presldont aud the delo
gaio from each of these national organiza
tions silting in tho triennial sessions of tho
National Council may bo compared to tho two
Senators from every State sitting in tho
United States Senato.
"Thus, you soe, as the representatives
from national organizations are compurablo
to.Souniors sitting in tho upper House, that
house mayhooomjiarod to the Unitod States
Senate or to tho Houfo of Peers. Tho local
councils, which threo years benoo will doubt
less bo organized in large numbers all oer tho
United States; may bo- said to correspond to
Congressional district, and their representa
tives sitting in tho lower housn may bo com
pared to bo members of tho Houso of Repre
sentatives in our Congress or to mombors of
tbo House of Commons in tho English Par
liament. rrnrECT ona.uJiZATios.
'In ono roepoct our woman's ropublic- will
be organized oven more perfectly ttinn is tho
United btatos government, upon which, in n
remoto way, it is modeled; siuco as State
councils become afllliatod with tho national
council each will bo permitted to send two
representatives lb' the triouials of tho na
tional council, namely, its proiidont and ono
delegate, and tho representatives of tho Stato
councils will form a link of union bctweou
the upper and the lower houso in that tho
president of each Stato council will sit in tbo
upper house, tho recognized peer of tbo rep
resentatives of national organizations, vhllo
tho delegates df oath Stato council will
sit in jtho lower house, the recognized pi-er
only of tho representatives of local councils."
"Every local council is composed of tho
local orcanizations'of its own locality, and
every State council of tho State organizations
within any certain Stato. For exaraplo,
drawing my illustrations from my own city,
tho load council t Indianapolis includes
llftv local societies of wonlen. These cover
tho greatest variety as to membership, social
prestige, aim, and method. For instance,
among tho llfty local societies in the local
council ot Indianapolis nro all of tho leading
women's clubs.
The object of each of these is purely liter
ary culture, self-improvement and mutual
helpfulness in intellectual Drogress. Thero
aro also tho missionary societies of the differ
ent denominations and sects: also the local
oducational organizations, such as the froo
kindergarten, tho local branch of colhgialo
alumnae, aud tho local university extension
center Then there nro societies dnvotod to
art, like tho matineo musicale, ana other so
cieties having industrial success and pros
perity as their object, liko tho laundry girls'
union."
Asked to explain tho common ground be-
tween the Ladies' Matinee Musicale und tho
Laundry Girls' Union, Mrs. Swull said:
COMMON IXTEHESTS.
"Tho ladies of tho matineo musicalo and tho
working girls, the laundresses, in their
union, aro equally interested in having tho
streets of the city in which they live kept
cleanly, in having tho morals of tho city in
whh-htboy live purified, in trying to establish
a common moral standard for men and wo
men. They aro equally interested in the
sanitation of tho city; they nro equally in
terested in muincipal government, and those
women belonging apparently to such dif
ferent classes, have proed themselves to bo
equally interested in these measures by tak
ing an 3qual abaro in their promotion."
Describing tho results obtained by tho
Indiauopolis local council, Mrs. Sewali said:
"It has taken tho only method of redress
that women yet have. The local councilor
Indianapolis has this winter issued a letter
to every member of tho legislative nsembly
nov"n session at tho Capital, s ating its
membership and indicating four lines of
work'to -which it wished tho assembly to give
some attention. From authentic sources tho
council learned that of more than A00 licensed
saloons in Indianapolis mora than 75
per cent, maintained unlicensed wine rooms;
that, in faot. in numerous instnuces the un
lit eased wine room is the chief source of
revenue to tho saloon-keeper and the chiof
sort of danger to the community; therefore
'theloeal council has asked from tho general
a-sembly such modification of the present
statutes concerning tho sale of liquors as will
exterminate tho wine room.
WAB OX THE SLOT MACHINES.
"The council has also learned of tho almost
incredible patronage which tho slot machines
receive from children and youth of both
sexes, and it has askod for such a modifica
tion of the present statutes concerning gamb
ling as may be necessary to exterminate tho
slot ranebine nuisance. It also has asked for
such a modification of the statutes relating to
tho cognizance and caro of criminals as will
assure a police matron in every station-houso
where girls or women may be taken, and a
jail matron in every jail whero girls or women
ponding examination or trial may bo tempo
rarily held. It also asks for statutes that will
secure medical atlendamco from practition
ers of their own sex to women confined in
asylum for tho insane, and for all other un
fortunate classes under tho caro of tho State.
"Tholooal Gouncil of Women, represent
ing an indi'.idual membership of 8,000, has
thus lirought Its inQucuco to bear directly
upon tho general assembly of Indiana, from
which it wiTT doubtless get a police matron
bill. which, wiJl sccuro police matrons in every
city containing a population of 10,000 or
more.
"Upon another question tho local council
has also brought its influence to bear. Be
fore the gcnoral assembly of Indiana, as be
fore tho legiala'.nro of most States in recent
J years,,tbpr8 1ms coma up a bill entitled, "A
bill regulating tno agooi consent." anaago
of consent in Indiana is now fourteen years.
The bill proposed to raho the ago to eighteen
years. An amendment wns introduced to
chango eighteen to sixteen. Immediately the
local council presented a letter containing
two important clauses, as follows:
"First, tho local council of Indianapolis,
comprising fifty distinct organizations, with
an individual membership of 8,000 women,
protests against tho proposition to amend
tho pending bill by changing tho word
"eighteen" to 'sixteen." believing that eigh
teen yi ars should bo tho lowest time fixed as
tho ago of consent.
Second, theloeal council, being not less
interested in tho virtue of young men than in
tho virtue of young women, appeals to the
committeo in charge of this bill to add thereto
a second clauso, making it a penal offense for
a woman to solicit boys under tho age of
eighteen years.

APPLAUSE IN THE CHURCH
First Congregational Packed to the Doors
with People Eager to Soe tho Fair Aristo
crat Who Devotes Her3olf to Humanity's
Highest Aims Standing Boom Was at a
Premium and Ecoros Wore Turned Away.
Lady Henry Somorsot, ono of tho most
prominent delegates at tho National Council
of Women, was given an enthusiastic recep
tion with waving handkorchiefs and clapping
hands at tho First Congregational Church
last night.
She was richly dressed, but wore no orna
nfents. Her figure is stout, her face rounder
and fuller than in tho fine picture presonted
by TnE Times yesterday, which was from a
photograph taken sevoral years ago. Her
hair Is dark and abundant, pushed back in
fluffy masses from a broad, whito forouoad.
Her complexion is clear and soft, showing in
telligent caro.
In spito ot her Illness, of which tho most
noticeablo fenturo is a cough, hor voico was
clear and sweet und her mnnner spirited and
forceful. She did not differ in general ap
pearanco from other leaders of the W. O. T.
U. familiar to tho public.
THE ADDIESCE ROSE AT HEU.
Introduced by Rev. S. M. Newman, pastor
of tho church, Lady Somerset camo forward
with an easy, quick movement. Then it was
handkerchiefs flew, numbers roso to their
feet, and there was a round of npplauso, de
spito tho fact that itvas Sunday night and
in church.
Mrs. Clara Hoffman, who preceded tho
English noblewoman, had. however, in a
measure prepared the wiiy for this. Tliero
was a little round of hand olapping at ono of
her hits. "I'm glad to hiar you clap," bIio
exclaimed, "ovou if it is Sunday night and in
ehureb. I think it is a great deal worse to
use tobacco in tho houso of God than it is to
clap your hands." And a hearty round of
applause followed.
Ladv Somerset first pointed out that peo
ple freouentlvlittlo realized the character,
the importance of fio movements that go on
among them. Tho- coming of Christ oven
was not at all recognized as tho greatest
epoch in tho world's history. A handrui ol
fanatics, as they aro called, will write and
talk aud labor in n cause and tho world will
laugh at them, but when their reform Is ac
complished tho nations look back and realize
that these hands wrought tho groat work.
WHAT A FANATIC IS.
"Hoar my definition of a fanatic. It Is ho
who first sees a great truth and earnestly
presents it. When more como to see it he be
comes an enthusiast; whoa everybody sees it
ho is a hero.
"Wo have a great petition with signers
from many lands in many tongues. It speaks
the earnest, faithful thought of 5,000,000.
When a little baud began to gather thco
names many said, It is no use. It will just
bo a waste of timo and energy and printer s
ink. It will vo ouickly put aside with many
others and forgotten.'
"And yet I dare to-night to prophesy that
tho thoughts of ihnt petition will stamp tho
ago. that it will be the most eloquent page in
tho history of the nineteenth century.
"This prophecy will be fulilllod a3 surejv
as timo rol's on. Why? Bocause tho Chris
tianity of Christ stands by men in tho voting
booth nnd in the Senato hall; elso is religion
vain and prayer to God a mockery. Tho day
is at hand when men wi I 'uo longer pray
VThy will bo done' and then license tho grog
shop and the house of ill-fame.
MIGHTY WOUK BEING DONE.
"A mighty work is being hero accom
plished. Wo aro coming to understand tho
solidarity of mankind. In tho eloquent
words of Mr. Gladstone, in speaking to tho
Armenians the other day, 'The conscience of
one nation is the conscience of nil nations,
and that which makes for tho upbuilding of
ono nation makes for the upbuildinc of nil."'
Lady Somerset closed her address with a
series "of eloquent and pathetic illustrat'ons
of how thn deepest and teuderest of human
sentiments and passions, old as the race, are
yet ever new.
"It is an old story, too," she 6nid, ''the wo
man's whito face at tho window watching for
tbo form of her loved ono and listening for
tho stumbling footfall she dreads to hear, but
it is new now to-night many times over in a
thousand cities throughout tho world. God
grant that governments everywhere may
cau'-o it to cease from off tho o irtli!" v
In tho pulpit were the pastor. Mrs. Stevens,
who has boca representing Miss Willnrd here,
aud Mrs. Hoffman, of Missouri. Palms and
day lilies furnished tho decorations, and tin
palms wero lowered to the floor to givo un
obstructed view of the speakors as tho serv
ices began. Tho music was fine. Tho sing
ing by Miss McNnl!yof "Ho leadeth mo,"
held tho audience breathless as under tho
magic of grand opera.
STANDING EOOM ONLT.
Tho audience-room and galleries wero
crowded; scores stood; dozons wero turned
away from tho locked doors.
Mrs. Hoffman in her address pointod out
the advances of tho past fifty years from wino
on tho pastor's table to its banishment from
tho social board of many leaders.
Children by hundreds, as she had been
shown in the church wliero she had delivered
an address half an hour before, aro being
pledged against intoxicants, tobacco, pro
fanity, and to purity of life. Fifteen millions
of school children aro taught every year tho
poisonous effects of alcohol, not on'a senti
mental but on a scientific basis. Iu spito of
tho pessimist Christian sentiment nnd life had
never boforo in the world's history risen so
high as it rises to-day.
At tho close of her'address, and just boforo
tho closing song and benediction, Lady Som
erset and Mrs. Hoffman Withdrew, and a
a large number of the audience followed
them.
Tho feeling of many present hnd evidently
boen expressed by a lady who said to her
escort when Mrs. Hoffman wns introduced:
"Let's go: I havo seen Lady Henry and it
isn't worth while to stay for tbo rest."
EARNEST WOMEN WANTED.
Miss Willard's Appeal to Her Sex to Enlist
in the Temperance Cause.
The fact that Miss Frances Willard and
Mrs. Emily McLaughlin, tho president of tho
W. C. T. U. of Boston, would speak, drew an
immense crow.d to tho Metropolitan M. E.
Church last night. Throughout tho audionco
could bo seen tho flutter of many ribbons of
all colors and sizes denoting the presence of
a great number of the members ojf the W. O.
T. U. and National Council of Women.
Bev. Dr. Johnston, tho pastor of tho church,
rose to introduce Miss Willard. Ho spoko in
glowing terms of her position at the bond of
tho women of tho United States, and how she
had attained that position by hor hard, earn
est Christihn life, by her m'nny sacrifices in
tho cnus to which sho has consecrated her
life. Dr. Johnston also paid an eloquent
tribute to Lady Somerset.
Miss Willard forewarned her hearers that
sho could givo them but a few moments, as
sho had to loavo thero as soon as possiblo for
tho Foundry Church, whoro sho wnsoxpectcd
to speak. In reply to Dr. Johnston's intro
duction she said:
"If all tho men in the world wore like the
dear pastorof this church wo Christian Tem
perance women, wo Whito Bibbonors would
not havo anything to do. Thero would be no
cause for us to call meetings and travel
all oyer tho clobo in tho cause of temporanco,
and tho polyglot petition would bo of no use."
She expressed her lovo of Washington nnd
her feelings of rest nnd pcacefulnoss when
sho comes to this city nnd moots hor fellow
workers in tho "cause," who, she says, are
tho most genial and hospitable that sho meets
in nny of tho towns sho visits . .
"It has been nearly seven years," "she said,
"sinco I have boon it this church, yet when I
walked up to the platform it seemed to mo
that nearly all hero wore old, old lriond"."
"It is every wonmu's duty to declare her
solf openly as an ndvocato of tetnper.inco."
MIs Williird then continued. "It is not
enough that they should favor tho cauo and
yet not takn n decided stand. L-t tho woman
who has heretofore held back como forward
and tnk a stand iu tho cano of tompcraco.
Wo aro not riijh, in money, but every earnest,
truo woman added to tho cause is worth
525.000. "
After introducing Mrs. McLaughlin Miss
MIBS FBANCES E. WILIAIID.
Willard spoko feelingly of tho relations ox
istiug between tho Y. a T. U. nnd tho
Women's National Council, nnd said in con
clusion: "They aro ono in God- They aro an army
moving onw.ird in purpoto and with tho
brightest outlook for a happy future. God
hies us, overy one."
After her tn k Mk3 Willnrd hastily left tho
ball to keep her engagement at tho Foundry
Church.
Mrs. McLaughlin then took tho platform
and spoko at some length on tho liquor quos
tion in tho Now Englnud States and of tho
workings of the no- icenso measure, which
was adopted in Cambridge and Somerville,
Mif-s., during tho past ton years. Sho veut
on to show that the wholo tone of the city,
morally und financially, has ben a hundred
per cent, bettor sinco doing away with tho sa
loons. JMUCIl UAS BEEN DONE.

NEED OF BIBLICAL STUDY.
Cardinal Gibbons' Advice to tho Thou
sands ot St. Aloysius'.
Tho grentotmfcsfon of the Catholic Church,
probably, that has everstrongthened religious
work in this city cldsod yesterday with" con
firmation services by Cardinal Gibbons. It
has been in progress at St. Aloysius Church
for two weeks past.
Tho missioners in'chanre have been Eov3.
Thomas J. Campbell, Joseph J. Himmel,
Michael O'Eaue, and Thomas G. Wallace, all
of tho Society of Jesus, with their homes in
New York city. Father Campbell was for
merly leader of the society in America.
Tn first week, beginning February 3, was
dovotod to services for women, and tho sec
ond for men. The chilJren's mission was
begun in tho lower meeting-room on Febru
ary -i. "
THOUSANDS WENT TO HEAE.
Great crowds havo been present at all tho
services. This and previous missions huvo
shown that such meetings at St. Aloydius'
mean always a renewal of religious life in
Catholic societies throughout the city and a J
general reiwakening of onthusiasm. The at
tendance has been from overy part ot the
District aud some havo come even from tho
adjoining couutits of Maryland.
Bev. William J. Tynan, of St. Inigoes, in
Lower Maryland, drove seventy miles
through tho cold nnd snow last week in or
der to be present and to celebrate mass here
in memory or his father who died a year ao.
Eloquence has blessod tho lips of tho mis
sioners, and they havo spoken with power.
There havo been over G,0U0 confessions, and
7,000 holy communions. One hundred nnd
forty-threo, nil adults, were yesterday con
firmed, thirty-flvo wore bnptizod theuight be
fore, and fl.ty-Hve partook of tho holy com
munion. The services yesterday began with masses
nt 7, 9, and 11 a. m.. solemn high mass being
celcbratod at tho last named hour by Bev. P.
J. O Connoll, assisted by Bov. P. J. McGin-
noy. deacon, and ltev. Thomas Scott, sub
deacon. Both audience-room3 were open
and well filled at overy service.
At i p. in. tho confirmation services wero
held. Cardinal Gibbons, in tho rich robes of
his office, conducted tho exercises. Ho was as
sisted by Bov. C. Gillespie, pastor of St.
Aloysius' Church, and 'by Fathers Byrnes,
McGiuiloy, Colgnn, Byan, Stopl.an, McAteo,
and by Father Tynan, of St. Inigoes.
After the impressive ceremonies of the con
firmation and an address to tho class Cardi
nal Gibbons ascended tho pulpit and preached
tho sermon of the day.
CARDINAL GIBBONS' SERMON.
He said that during tho mission tho fathors
had been preaching tho samo gospel which
was preache'd by tho apostles two thousand
years ago. Tho Catholio Church does not
prench business nor politios. These can be
got from thonowspapor. It preaches tho word
of God. This has been preserved to us by
tho Bible. Tho children of Isrnol venerated
tho nrk" of tho covenant which contained tho
manna preserved from their wanderings in
tho desert, so wo ought to reverenco tho
Biblo which contains tho gospel of Jesus
Christ, spiritual manna from above. Tho
Bible is a letter from heavon.
Tho day had- been -when a Biblo was too
oxpensivo for most, aud very many could not
read. All that is changed. Now nil can
havo tho Biblo and foiv cannot read. It be
comes, then, a duty to read tho Bible, and to
read it with reverence and devotion.
"It is a calumny," ho said, "which tho en
emies of the church hnvo persistently circu
lated that wo are afraid of tho Scriptures.
On tho contrary, I adviso all to read, and
I would lovo to seo every ono read them
every day." The Scriptures that aro good
for the priest nro also good for tho laity.
Ho closed with a prayer for their persever
ance in obedience and faithful holy activity.
GAIN THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
In addressing tho candidates, he urged
them to seek to gain tho spirit of God and to
cherish it asthosourco of all goodness and
happiness. After threo years' companionship
with Christ himself the apostles were lacking
in this spirit and only after Pentecost had it
in the full measure all should desire.
After tho sermon Cardinal Gibbons cele
brated tho benediction of tho blessed sacra
ment, assisted by Fathers Gillespio and
Byrnes.
At the evening services tho audienco-room
began to All nt 7 o'clock, and when tho cere
monial began at 7:S0 o'clock nearly 2,000 wero
present, all men. Tho exercises consisted of
a renewal of vows and promises, a sermon by
Father Campbell and the papal benediction.

Tho music wns oy a quartet, Miss Pierce,
of Boston; Mrs. Stoddart, Mr. Player, und
Mr. Croft. Mrs. W. A. Flint being the accom

Wick.ns.
Iu tho center front of tho stngo was Bov.
Annie Ford Eastman, who was to deliver the
sermon.
'1 he services were opened with prayer by
Mrs. Eastman, a woman rather under tho
medium height, with intelligent gray eye3,
brown hair, and a face of clear-cut features
and lovely expression
Oliver Wundeli Holmes' hymn, "Lord of
All Doing Throned A ar." was read bMiss
Yates ana then sung by tho quartet.
Mrs. Cheney reaJ a part of iho Scriptures,
after which Miss Pierco sang with religious
feeling and expression, "Bejoico Greatly,"
from the "M-aaiah."
Theu followed tho sermon, which was on
the text: "And besides this, giving all dili
gence, aid to yonr faith, virtue; nnd to virtue,
knowledge; and to knowledge, temperance;
aud to temperance, patience; and to patience,
Godliness; and to Godliness, brotherly kind
ness; and to brotherly kindness, charity."
REV. MRS. EASTMAN'8 8EBMON.
Tho speaker began by noting that tho
painting of a picture was a slow process, and
that tho accomplished work was only a pos
sibility after tho uso of many materials, at
each stage tho picture presenting itself as In
complete until tho Jast. Thero is always an
indodnnble something wanting wnich is only
made manifest by the finishing touches of tho
artist
ho in tho text from from the Apostlo Foter
wn mny follow his development of a perfect
human spirit or soul. Hi3 text was not a
composition of instantaneous writing. It
was a long proiess, embodying, as ho pro
ceeded, new details, ju3t as tho artist com
pletes bis picture. Tho apostlo first draws
tho outline of a majestic future, his ideal be
ing tho image of tho invisible God ir human
nature.
From the study of an artist's work we can
dctermino whether it is to bo ol a spiritual or
material character: so by tho words of tho
apostlo wo know that he is about to present
a mnn filled with tho goodness of God and
the highest attributes.
Faith is tho groundwork of the sketch and
gives life to tho whole. The world is full of
tho smok s of battle among those contending
for non-essentials, but the one thing neces
sary is faith, whereby ruth is discerned.
Faith in Christ as t e Son of God is tho foun
dation of the believers of the Son of God in
mnukind. God calls to man as deep calleth
unto deep, and wo movo on to higher things
under the inspiration of heroes, martyrs, and
saints.
VIRTUE THAT MEANS VIGOR.
Aftor faith tho aoostle places v'rtue, but
virtue in tho Latin sense of tho word, "vigor"
or energy. Yirtuo does not mean tho aspira
tion, "Oh, to bo nothing," but that energy
and will which tend to produce harmony
between tho soul and its God. Vigor is neces
sary, ns God's best gifts are inutations to
overcome, to conquer, to removo obstacles,
just as is the natural process of a child Ioarn
ing to walk. God's garden is His gift, but
your achievement; for all that is bost and
most bcanti ul in human achievement is tho
resn't of overcomingdifllcultios. Faith would
never falter if it were aided by vigor.
But to faith and vlrtuo must be added dis
criminating knowledge. A working faith is
necessary. Scientist may engage in specu
lating ou the origin o" man. but a better spec
ulation would oo his destiny, the all-important
mattor to bo considered. Tho butterfly does
not spend its life in reverting to its origin.
It is not tho question "what shalll think of
tho dead body of tho past," but "what shall
I say when 1 walk in the light and likeness of
God?" It is for us to "riso on stepping-ston-s
of our dead selves to noblor things."
Modern science cannot do for man what
simplo faith did for David.
Solf-govcrnmoct, tho truo signification of
tho "temperance" of the text, is the next ma
terial, and this begets patienco, tho "tender
glow of character;" not tho patience of de
spair, but that of hop , but for tho latter of
which the world might be an asylum for
ravinsr maniacs.
And theu comes brotherly kindness, tho in
dividual or family love, and, abovo all, that
universal lovo which completes tho picture
nnd raake3 tho man perfect as an imago of
God. This, tho speaker held, was not an im
possible ideal, but one of nearly npproximato
attainment by men nnd women who lived
lives of Christian faith and virtue.
OTHER SERVICES OF THE EVENING.
The mannor of Mrs. Eastman Is quiet. Her
enunciation is clear and sho uses only the
emphasis of hor words. Tho sermon, of
which only tho principal ideas are given, was
filled with striking compar sons and was a
fine effort both in thought aud delivery.
The announcement of tho offering was
made by Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, aftor
which tho hymn, "Lovo Divine, All Lovo
Excelling," was read by Mrs. Kathorino
Lente Stevenson nnd sung by tho choir.
A communion service, opened by tho sing
iDg of "Biso. My Soul, and Stretch Thy
Wings,' was then hold tho communion be
ing administered to all who desired it by the
ministers named. This closed tho services.
Tho formal opening of tho council will take
placo this morning nt 10 o'clock at Metzerott
Hall.
,It was announced yesterday that Conven
