Etottake tea, let loose the following Fourth
of July sentiments: Indeed. it is . shame,
thar such unprecedented and dangerous opin-
ions should be promul gated in the land Of our
glorious forefathers, over which the American
eagle watches with Jealous eye, as she ex-
pands her pinions from Maine to California"
AT this juncture / found an ivory handled

In the corridor red headed man asked me-:

Woman's Rights movement in the United
States 2" didn't know ..Well, because
it is supported by wood hull CWoodhuliJ.
Anothe. man asked my interrogator: ssWhat's

A Jew in the pit persisted in keeping his
hat on, which the boys and Charevs en-
deavored to knock off by throwing copies of
lKoodhaH d C2at7in's Weekly at ii. a po-
liceman saw this amusement and hanled one of
the Charleys out by the coat>tail. which part
of wearing apparel he held as trophy after
the young man had Withdrawn. How the
ladies laughed at that Charley!
ln the meantime, Victoria Woodruff fp>
ished her onslaught against Grant. the Wall
street men, the Evangelical Alliance. etc.
Now man with clerical face. who, some
said was Bradlaugh, endeavored TO haransue
the people. He was Kissed so. that Mrs.
Woodruff came and begged him to withdraw;
after several minutes of Punch and judy
nodding between these two, they left the stage

think it's n woman's right to dress al her bus-
bands expense, even to sell the spring chick
ems to get the money [ think it's right for
woman to raise thunder around the house. if
her husband don't dress her as we'll as Mrs.
Jones; [ think it's right for woman to curl
her old mans hair with the poker. if he STAYS
out at night; but hang me, if think it's
woman's right to BIO president. while we rep-
sresentatives of the masculine gender are liv-
ing. Let them wait until we're all dead. then
they can make redingotes Of the Star>Spangled
Banner and trim their hats with the feathers
OF the American eagle"
Summing up. it can be justly said that the
meeting Of the Woman's Suffrage Association
in Cooper Institute, was failure; for all its
advocates scattered like frightened audience
at circus, when the lion bursts loose.
