It was assembled by the National Woman Suf frage Association of the United State to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first weman right ' convention. 3 Notwith standing the cold, drizzling rain, which has fallen incessantly, tho opera house was probably half filled with an au'lience composed almost wholly ot women, when at 10:30, Susan B.. Anthony, vice-president,.; called the council to "order. On tbe stage, were seated a luindrod or more dcleratel from national woman's riirhte "and kindred societies in this nod other countries. About thirty associations of this character are represented in thu council, which is probably the largest gathering of notuhlo wemen in tho history of this country. Among the ladies seated upon the stage were Elizabeth Cady Stan ton, Susan li. Atithon y, Matilda Joslyn Gage, May Wright Bewail, Clara B.Colb, Elizabeth Boynton Herbert, Julia Ward Howe, Clara Barton, Frances E. Willard, Lena Vaughan. and many others who were pioneers in the cause of woman's suffrage. Elizabeth Stanton delivered an address of welcome and reviewed at some length tho history of the suffrage move ment At the conclusion of Mrs. Stan ton's address, which was oflen inter rupted by applause, Miss Anthony intro duced to the audience in the order named, delegates from Norway, Finland, France, India, Ireland, Englaud and Canada. Each one as introduced was greeted with hearty applause of welcome, to which brief responses were made. Albaugh's opera house was completely filled at the evening session which was opened by prayer by Rev. Annie 11 Shaw. The first paper of the evening was read by May Wnt'ht Scwcll, of In dianapolis, on the subject ot "The High er Education for Women in the United States." She wss followed by Puoditi Ramatai Sarasvati, a native Indian woman who was dressed in native costume. She spoke extemporaneously for half an hour upon the subject of "Women of India," and received the -close attention of the audience. She said that in olden times her countrywomen were complete ly under the control of their husbands, and but very few were allowed to be educated, and those of the Brahmins or priest ly cast, only a fewbut a handful of them were, allowed any ed ucational advantages. Representative men in India had always advised against the education of women, but since the English people took control, a happy change has taken place. The English people, she said, had treated tbe native Indians fairly and honestly. The uni versities of India were thrown open to women, as were also her medical colleges. Since 1878 about half a dozen native women have graduated with honor from the universities. Calcutta has taken the hichest cround in the education of women. A great change .is being wrought What India needs is women teachers. Five or six other ladies spoke or read papers upon subjects connected witn tbe nigner education oi women. FRENCH AFFAIRS.

The bank was widely known. It was founded by the late Jobn O. mlliams, and for years had the confidence and es teem of the business public. Two years ago C. E.

A few days ago the stockholders of the bank met and elected five new directors, mak ing the numlier of the latter ten. Tho new directors were a-surcd that the bank's condition was admirable. They were badly deceived. They have given notice that they would make in- . vestigation of the bank' affairs, and this tended to precipitate the crisis. The capital of the Imnk was $200,000.

It Is currently be- v lieved that both men had for some time been dealing in stocks, and there ate now rumors that Imth were dissipated on the sly. On the Imnk' door was displayed at an early hour: , "Bank closed until further notice; by order of the board of directors." FARMERS ORGANIZING.
