J,-, i- sun of , , ii.lc l u' tln, I i ti'iii fr the llio iiiiliibtraiioa of tlc ( i i tin' mo organization was Mrs. Bur- uilh'a topic In her last lecture, szabeth College yesterday after i. Tho question or what should be d In the Weal home with a ret ice to the dwelling's architecture, - ration and furnishing, sonltary , utiona and the 1 tood contained rein having been considered In s ceding talks, It was but necessary ir a fuU and complete dlecuaelon of the subject that the best methods Of obtaining these things be presented. Mrs.. Burton Smith began her sub Joct with soma .introductory remarks on the present fchaotlc. status of the domestic problem. . What la needed here is a scientific treatment- of the question that Confronts us In other terms, organisation, and not only home organisation, but organization through out society. The trouble, however, Is to know at which end to begin. Per haps the hydra-headed servant ques tion I the root of much of the evlL A glance at the progress of Industry will explain the rea sons tor much of this trouble. It has been through two laws that ope rate throughout the world that com mercial, and Industrial Ufa has been developed the laws of co-operation and specialization. No man can live to himself, and the home Is not a per sonal thing. Tet the home was the nursery of all Industries and from it they all have since been developed. In mediaeval times the castle waa the seat of the centralisation of all lines of work. The soldier, the clerk, the priest, the artisan, were all feudal retainers. Gradually, the various Industries grew out of the home by the performance of Services for a few scattered people, until now we have a highly specializ ed system of Industry. Out of this modern arrangement two advantages have sprung: eoonomy of time and economy In culture. By taking the labor Of home life out of the hands of amateurs and putting It Into the hands of speciality, leisure for enjoy ment of the higher life Is gained. Co-operative living, then, should be enoouraged by all women, and not for the above reasons alone. Im proved service Is another result of this experiment. In the home one can not look for service from the better ctsases who are most qualified -to do It, for the personal element the re lation of employe to employer drives away all but the so-called "servant" class. The one successful remedy of this trouble lies In central service. In Boston a domestic science bureau has been established, from which trained house workers go from dwelling to dwelling, while In Toledo, Syracuse and Mow Haven central kitchens may be found. As the cooks In these places are specialists and receive aa much as 160 and $71 a month, the best kind of service is assured, co operation In this sense being a suc cess In the name of progress, common sense and peace every woman should support the co-operative system, Should suoh exist in her town. The home should be a place of rest and communion and It Is here that the Child should get a scmse of order and proportion. This sense he ran never receive If the home Is a seat of fer ment. Mrs. Smith next considered the question of economy. We are all too apt to make this word synonymous with saving, but the true economy may consist in spending, aa well. And here true expenditure depends upon the- possession of definite standards. While these standards are recnaniznd along other, linea of the social system, they have little existence in the homu. The manufacturer refuses to employ the unskilled workman, but the house wife accept such service. This Is largely because of a lack of agree ' ment among women ss to sny stand ard tor servants. The maid who has been turned away from one kitchen knows that she will be received Into the next, and at Ju-r own price. ' Women, then, need t. rprnrnlan , their economic function. Formerly, these word used to refer simply to : the production and distribution of -Wealth: now they Include us well the affect of using those thing human beings, though thli in more properly termed the nodal economical func tion.

Tho c.ue on which tb. recorder was called to pass yesterday morn ing were few In ; number, but not without Interest their sort. Had It not been for a feminine '.'falling out" times would have been rather dull In court Bessie Clark, a resident of the Tenderloin, was arraigned on a charge of having been drunk and disorderly. The charge was made against her by Mabel Swann, who said that Bessie cursed her In public. The origin of the misunderstanding seems to nave been at an Informal gathering at the home of Maud Wilson In Springs' Al ley. All were having merry time, when Mabel Swann and Bessie Crow der came along. Not belonging to the same set as the revellers they were not Invited to participate In the fes tivities. Bessie Clark waa among the favored ones and the charge seemed to have part of Its origin in Jealousy. Bessie Clark was let off with the costs. When this Important case had been weighed and decided. Diana Brevard, colored, was arraigned on the charge of assaulting Mary lvey, aiao a wo man of color. The complainant al leged that the defendant entered her domicile uninvited and proceeded un provoked to hurl at her a torrent of billingsgate. Those are not the exact words of the prosecuting witness, but the testimony was to that effect. Di ana denied tM with considerable warmth. She laid she paid Mary a social call, a courtesy which her hos-! teas repaid by referring to her as a cat and also aa a heifer, terms neither of which she felt to be appropriate or' proper between ladles. The court al lowed Diana to pay the costs In the case. NO DISPENSAR Tf SENTIMENT. Tho Old IVUng lias Died Out and tho Newer Converts Cannot Cut Any IceMr. Clarkson lias What ,Jle Want "Tou are wrong about the dispen sary," said a Charlotte citizen to an Observer man yesterday. "How?" "Why, It Is not a dispensary that we want but two city saloons." "I am not a dispensary man," de clared the reporter, "I was quoting an other fellow In the paper this morn ing." "Well, we want two city saloons one 'up-town and one 'down-town' for all the folks. I have been for open saloons but we need the dough now, and there la no reason why we should not go In the business." When asked, yesterday, If he was In favor of a dispensary for the city, Mr. Herlot Clarkson, solicitor of this district, said: "I am not for any dis pensary, but for Just what we have. There Is but one solution for the whiskey business." Those who know Mr. Clarkson be lieve that he Is sincere In his fight against liquor. Mis friends think that he goes too far now and then but none of them ever Imagine for a mo ment that he Is not honest In his fight. Hs thinks that liquor makers and sellers Is the curse of the age. His war on them Is vigorous and In cessant. There Is but little sentiment here for a dispensary. A few prominent citizens believe that a city saloon In name, but dispensary In fact, would solve the problem of municipal pov erty. Several years ago hundreds of the more rampant citizens of the city were wild for a dispensary, but, recently, the ardor of these has cooled off. NECE88ART MONEY RAISED. Secretary Corwith Wires It. D. W. Connor That Charlotte U Ready to Entertain Teachers' Assembly and Want to Do So. The campaign which has been quietly conducted by Prof. Alexander Oraham, Secretary W. T. Corwith, of the Greater Charlotte Club, and others, to raise funds to entertain the North Carolina Teachers' Assembly In Charlotte In June had a successful termination yesterday afternoon late, when the entire amount desired was raised by private subscription. Mr. Corwith last night telegraphed Mr. II. I). W.

I'rccrlj tlon of tho 7 tli of January. It will be recalled that there was some misunderstanding about the name of R, B. Henderson during the trial of Dr. W S. Davidson Monday and Tuesday. The Charlotte Drug Company produced two prescriptions, one Issued on the 7m and the other the 10th of January, to It. E. Hender son, and written bjf Dr. Davidson. To the Hendersons in . this county there Is no end. There are , Hender sons in Charlotte, Hendersons In paw Creek, Hendersons In , Clear Creek, Hendersons In Lemleys,, Hendersons In plnevlllo, Hendersons In Hunters vllle. and Hendersons on tho Catawba, Hendersons on Brier creek and Hen dersons on Flat branch., r Henderson everywhere. , Some are descendant of the Signers, while others are Just plain old Hendersons. ' ' ' " It is a well known fact that there are two R. E. Hendersons in tno county, not to say anything about a J. EL Late yesterday afternoon, about the time the chickens; were going to roost, a subpoena, .one of the duces tecum sort, was issued for Mr. It. E. Henderson, a Paw Creek farmer, ordering him to appear hera at the next criminal term of Meck lenburg Superior Court and bring with him the bottle, or bottles, which con tained any whiskey purchased by him from the Charlotte Drug Company, especially that bottle which contained the whlHkey prescribed by Dr. W. 8. Davidson and bought by tilm, on or about the 7th of January, and tho label thereon. This means, of course, tnai an enon will he made bv the State to dear up the mystery that surrounds the prescription filled by tne unsriowo Drug Store on the 7th. Therefore, the second trial may De almost as in teresting as the first one was. Sheriff Wallace win serve me sno poena on Mr. Henderson. . Cotton Mill Men Flensed. One of the most pleasing Items in yesterday's Observer was the an nouncement or tne passage in tns House of the immigration bill In troduced by Representative E. R. Preston, of this city. The vote stood 65 to 21, the opposition being; pot so much to the bill itself as to the section which designated whence the funds for the support of the im migration bureau are to be derived. The Hon. Judson Peele, of Scotland. Is reported to have stood against It, alleging that the present scarcity of labor was nothing more than a bless ing In disguise. LUCKIEST MAN IN ARKANSAS.
