National W oman's Suffrage Convention


Mr.. EDIToR:-The National Woman's Suf-
frage Convention to be held in the City Hall
Wednesday ard Thursday, June LIST and 3D.
promises to be very interesting OCCASION
The ladies who are to address the convention
rank among the foremost leaders in the cause
OF the equal rights of women and are of schol-
arly attachments and potent thinkers. A very
strong prejudice exists among a portion of the
community against women who are Jealous ad-
vocates of reform that tends to elevate the
female sex physically. Intellectually and NOR
ally. Such true reiormers are regarded as
masculine and vulgar, and for them to appear
upon the platform and manifest an interest in
political affairs appears nnbecoming and out of
their sphere.
At the convention some of the most vital
questions pertaining to the rights of women
will be discussed. 1t is not expected that all
who may attend will coincide with the views
expressed, yet there may be gathered some
new ideas that will suggest thoughts towards
better and higher living, and we trust will at
least eradicate a disastrous error regarding
those who take a position outside of what is
considered the sphere of woman. Addresses
will be made by Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
Susan B. Anthony, Matilda Joslyn Gage.

ReccIler's Honey.

Philadelphia Rccosd)
One ofthe mysteries of the age is
what Henry Ward Beecher has done
with his money. At one time he was
in receipt Of 500, 900 from his Church,
$40, 600 from his newspaper, $4,000
from his Iecturiug and $4,000 from
marriage fees, literary works and his
books, making q total CISCO, 900 year.
Yet Beecher never had any money to
spare. His household was modest, not
expensive; his wife was apparently
not cxtravagant; he gave nothing that
was known TO charity, and yet he was
always impecunious. When ne wanted
to help TiIton he gave Il mortgage up
on his house, and nc has now sold his
house, furniture and buildings, and
gone to live with married son. lie
told hediL this because the young birds
had all grown up and flown ont of the
nest, and yetit was a marvel that IL
his old age he should leave his comfor-
table home upon the Heights Of Brook
Ign and go into narrow quarters as a
boarder. lie spoke with sigh and
very evident regret at the breaking up
Of his old house. This was strange,
but the unfinished story in regard to
his farmer, Thomas Turner, at Peeks-
hill, is still more strange; when Turner
died, he took charge Of his papers, and
buried large number ofthem, among
which, it is alleged, were a number Of
promissory notes The whole thing
has a queer look, and the question
which agitatos newspaper men Is where
has al the money he has made in the
last quarter Of a century. amounting to
millionc, has gone TO? Perhaps II IS
one Of those mysteries that no fellow
can find out, but the curiosity Of the
natural man will prompt him to find
out the discovered channel through
which it flows. Looking At and talk
my with Mr.. Beccher, who is now more
spiritually minded, reverent and large
l.carted than ever before in his life,
the mystery only decpens. That there
is a mystery only deepens That there
Is a mystery connected with the mans
life and his daily expenditure, no one
can doubt. Perhaps when the curtain
is lifted. it viii increase the charity

by the Illinois Central railroad, and

much attention. His appearance is
much the same as Of yorc, the face
and beard being the same, but he has
aged rapidly, and is visibly in his de
cliaing years, So that but few Of the
people he met on the streets recognized
in him the man whose name was once
on the lips of every one. Aftoc bid

He was here first in October 1929,
according to Gen. Hunter, and it is a
pity he could not stay longer and see
more fully the changes which half a
century has wrought.

Modern Machinery.

I. :. Economist
With the use Of modern machinery
Il single miller is now aide to II ,duce
-four enough Tor the daily supply Of
$500 men. With the hand mill, which
was the machine for grinding grain
among the Greeks, Il nan could pro
duce only enough to supply twenty
five men. Tins the machinery Of the
present mill represents the labor Of
III men. A lively kuitter can make
thirty stitches a minute with her
needles. The knitting machine will
make / 800 stitches in the same time;
or, iii other words, works with an
eficieEcy equivalent TO $50 laborers.
In the light Of these illustrations. if
we compare the slow process Of hand
labor which prevailed among the an
clients 1000 years after Homer's time,
with the abundant and complex luxu-
ries enjoyed by the aristocratic and
idle classes Of that period, we shall
have some conception Of the drudgery
performed by the Iaboring people and
of their miserable reward. The splcn-
dor Of antiquity grows dun and uncn-
viable when It is considered at what a
vast expense Of human poverty and
suffering it was procured. Butto com
pensate the hard toiIers for the loss OF
their employment incident to the in
Yent;ons and improvements in ma
chiuery, they should he lifted up mo
a higher sphere Of usefulness by edu-
cation aud development of the more
valuable abilities now lying later t
within them, and 50 make a step TO-.
ward in usefulness and intelligence.

Fashion periodicals are simply promo
tiers of extravaganza; but the Fash on
quarterly suggests economy always.
Instead of the usual reprints Of the de-
signs of Partisan costumes, it gives Its
readers illustrations Of solid, servicea-
bic articles Of wear for every day use,
drawn from actual garments of Amer
lean make, with a description Of the
materials OF each, and a statement at
what they can be furnished.
The Summer number, just received,
ably sustains the record Of its prede-
cessorz. The literary department pre-
sents a choice selection of useful and
entertaining articles, among which may
be mentioned a beautiful and original
