tionsWork Planned for Season.
During the summer social life in
Raleigh Is almost dead. The colleges
are closed and the clubs have dis
banded uptll the fall season. There
Is nothing adds more to the social life
during three fourth, of the vear man
the women's clubs. There are an un
' iuaually large number of, them, with
the Woman's club . of edurse as the
chief woman's organisation. A nura
ber of the smaller clubs have held
their first mctltiE of the season and
the city is beginning already to feel
the new life they bring with them.
The re-openlns of the woman's club
will he next week.
The Womans' Club,
The first meeting of the Woman's
Club of the season will take place
next Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. It
is a general meeting of the club and
the fall reunion is always looked for
ward to with much pleasure by all
the members. The meetings are sus
pended during the summer but club
work goes on, for it is then that the
chairman of the different departments
and their committees are hard at work
planning the program for the-year and
the president issues, the year book.
. Them will ..be.' ready , ror . oisiriDuuon
on Thursday and a glance at th Con
tracts shows many delightful things
in store for the season. The work
planned in all the departments Is of
a most practical and helpful nature
and under them the leaderships of
the different chairmen will nlve to the
club an unusually interesting season.
Among the first things that will en
gage the attention of the club will be
the new Hex Hospital. This Institu
tion all Raleigh feels proud of. and
every member of the Woman's club
takes the keenest interest In its success
so it only remains to decide Just tiow
they can most practically help In ts
equipment. It is along just such a line
as this the Woman's club most desires
to work and all movements that have
for their object the betterment of the
city in any way will find active co
operation in this organization.
It is composed of 200 representative
women and they think with pride of
things accomplished while hoping for
greater things In the future. Mrs.
Palmer Jerman is president of the club
for the year 1909-10. All who had the
pleasure of attending the meetings last
year remember them-with pleasure al
so the extent of the work accomplished
last year as shown by the final report.
They expect to do even better work
this year.
This is the leading woman's club
organization in the city. The only one
belonsinr to the Federation of Wo
men's clubs.
There are members of private boofc
clubs, patriotic societies, . card clubs
and other purely social clubs that are
a great source of recreation, pleasure
and profit to the women of the city,
Some of them are undertaking great
things that extend beyond their club
limits and are a source of great good
to both the city and the state,
The women are' going about their
work in a quiet determined way that
generally accomplishes the aim in the
end.
Most of them have their plans
mapped out for the winter's work and
nrasrroms made out for the club's
study.
Next to the Woman's club the
patriotic societies are accomplishing
the greatest work.
The Colonial Dames.
There was a meeting of the colonial
Dames with Mrs. A. B. Andrews yes
terday. This was the first meeting
of the season, and they expect to hold
another later In the month. This Is
a local branch of the North Caroina
Society that has Its headquarters in
Wilmington. The meeting was well
attended yesterday, the Wake county
committee meeting with the society.
The main subject of Interest and the
chief work claiming the attention of
the society Is a work that The Evening
Times has been especially Interested In
that of the preservation and marking
of the Andrew Johnson house. On
August 27, an editorial In the columns
of The Times urged the erection of a
fence protect the cottage and the
placing a memorial tablet. The Times
was so much Interested in the matter
that It proposed to head a subscrip
tion for the. purpose with ten dollars.
It Is matter of Interest not only
to all North Carolina but to Tennessee
as well, as shown In an editorial from
the Knoxvllle "Journal Tribune," copied
TO TWO LOCAL MERCHANTS
The Evening Times is al
ways glad to extenu any
courtesy to their advertisers.
Now we have one request to
make of the local merchants.
On account of the fall bus
iness picking up and the
dally changes made In the
'copy of the advertisements,
we request each advertiser to
get his copy in our office
either the afternoon before
or early In'the morning. We
are always glad to make any
change In the advertisement
desired, but real often we
are unable to make the
change on the day It Is de
sired, owing to the copy
being late in reaching our
office.
A compliance with this re
quest will be appreciated.

(By Leased Wire to The Times)
New Yorl;, Oct. 2 Five hundred
thousand children played their part
:n the Hudson-Fulton celebration to
day and in r0 separate centers In the
greater city there were individual
demonstrations, while the youngsters,
many of them in costume, paid trib
ite to Henry Hudson and Robert
Fulton.
So far as the daylight hours were
concerned this was children's day in
N'ew York. With the Half Moon and
Clermont, and many of the digni
taries up the state celebrating with
i he people of the Hudson valley it
fell to juvenile Xew York today to
ontinue the splendid display. The
biggest daylight event on the pro
gram was a monster pageant for
vhich prepurat'ons were made for
more than 10,(100 participants as the
nininium number. The procession
ivas not u single, long drawn-out line
there were 56 separate parades,"
each representing' some different part
in the main pageant, and all converg
ing at one point.
Tonight, uitder the glow of a
nyraid of incandescents and with 50
floats depicting allegorical and other
subjects in line, . poetry, music and
trt will come into their own.
It is to be a carnival night with
Fifth avenue and Central Park west"
as the center.
The children's program for today
was organized with a view to pre
senting one of the most impressive
scenes of the entire celebration.
They were drilled for weeks In their
schools, and many of them were at-
ired inmost time, some of Dutch, In
dian, arid colonial styles, and others,
of more modern periods.
The parade in each school district
onsisted of two sections.
First, a division of children In
ostume.
Second, a division of pupils of the
elementary public schools.
Early this morning the pupils be
an assembling for the parade. The
morning augured well for weather.
The sun was bright and a crisp wind
th-red the banners and decorations.
At the designated points there was a
great deal of confusion and the lines
f children seemed without end.
As the lines met and halted the of

planned gave orders for the singing of

rowning even the din of the brass
inds. The second signal was for
the pupils to repeat the following:
I pledge allegiance to my flag and
o the republic for which it stands;'
one nation indivisable with liberty
nd justice for all."
Then they waved their flags.
"The Star Spangled Banner" fol-
owed.
Costumes for the children were fur
nished by the board of education, but
in many instances children supplied
their own.
Necessary polite guard patrolled
the line of march. Early today Police
Commissioner Baker had his regu
lars and reserves under way. Es
pecial attention was paid to the Child
ren's parade to see that no harm came
to the youngsters.
It Is estimated that 15,000 will be
in line tonight in the carnival pa
geant. In addition, to the floats Ger
man, Swiss, and Austrian organisa

Some of the floats will show seml
