IChic.eo Tribune Interview of the 18th

[Chicaeo Tribune Interview of the l3thl
"Miss. Susan," began, plunging
desperately into the middle of the
subject at heart, "you have been
through almost all kinds of scenes
since last we met; almost in Jail for
voting Illegally. Did you pay your
fine p
"No; and l never mean to. The
Smith sisters have done more than
any of our convention by refusing
to pay their taxes when they cannot
VOTE"
"Will you vote. at the next elec-
ton ?"
Miss Anthony" I would if 1
could go home and register. But
must keep on with my work in the
West" rt
"Well, Miss Anthony, you did
one foolish thing; that was when
you sat on Theodore Tilton's knee. D
Miss Anthony smiled all over her
face. WELL" she said slowly, and
with sort of grim humor, I" that
was my only lapse from rigorous
virtue. All the men had declared
that Susan was so sour she couldn't
get husband, and l thought /
would show them l could sit on
young mans knee just like any
foolish girl. / was in Rochester,
when a reporter called to see me.
Now, 1 will not be interviewed, and
did not deny that l sat on Theo-
dore's knee; and 1 never have de-
MED it yet. The next day long
article comes out Susan put her
foot on it, and stamps it lie." You
see don't deny it. Why should l
not enjoy my opportunity to be
womanly and loving, when l have
been called an ogre all my life, and
everybody claims to know that 1
never had a chance to get married."
Miss Anthony was looking into
the future of her sex with calm COM
placence, when I attacked her with
a question so artfully put, as I be-
lieved, as to allow of no evasion.
The gist of it was:
Did you, Miss Anthony, sleep
with Mrs. Tilton one night, and did
she tell you all about Mr.. Beecher?"
How little l knew the strategy of
that wise General. She looked at
me with mild reproach in her ex-
pressive gray eyes.
ayes, l did sleep with Mrs. Tilton
at different times, but l shall not
tell the world what l know, or do
not know. If / am summoned be-
fore the courts, and examined legal
ly as witness, it will be my duty
to go; but / don't think can re-
member all the things that have
been told me in confidence during
all my ,journeyings. The time is
coming when a woman will be only
answerable TO herself for her own
deeds. 1t is an abominable mixture
of deceit, and either of the men is
ready to sacrifice Mrs. Tilton to save
himself. The fact is, if woman
gives herself to a man, either in
marriage or out of marriage, he will
trample her into the dirt to serve his
own ends. Women sell themselves
too cheap. They sacrifice them
selves on the spot, and it does not
matter whether the man has any
brains or not; it is the creation over
again; Old Adam said, The woman
tempted me and I did eat Beech
er says, THE woman tempted me
and / did not eat In both cases
she gets the blame"

In crowded Michigan avenue car recently
were a mother and son, the latter about eight
years old. The boy wouldn't sit on the seat,
but kept putting his head out of the front

again. Finally, when she got a strong hold
on him he got mad and shouted Lemme git

WHY won't American women be courageous?
In Europe, it is the pleasant fashion of public
assemblages to occupy the intervals between
the acts of an opera or play, or the intermis-
sion at concert, by strolling about the corri-
dors or chatting with friends all over the house
and the French understand this little art OF
life to perfection. But American women don't
get up till the green curtain falls. The "men-
folks" walk out, singly or in twos and threes,
between the acts-it is even said that they
sometimes " take a drink. "-Brooklyn Argus.

THE LAW OF NEwsPAPERs.-1 /. Subscribers
who do not give express notice to the contrary
are considered as wishing to continue their
subscriptions.
2. If any subscribers order the discontinu-
ance of their newspapers the publisher may
continue to send them until all arrearages are
paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their newspapers from the Office to which they
are directed the law holds them responsible
until they have settled the bills, and ordered
them discontinued.
4. If subscribers remove to other places
without informing the publisher, and the
newspapers are sent to the former direction,
they are held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers from the office, or removing
and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie
evidence of intentional fraud.
6, The postmaster who neglects to give the
legal notice of the neglect of person to take
from the Office the newspapers addressed to
him, is liable to the publisher for the sub
scription price.
