What the Leading Lights OF the Womcn's
Suffrage Movement Expect to Accom-
plisli.
Miss Rachel Foster, of Philadelphia, of the
National Woman's Suffrage association, arrived
in the city yesterday, and is stopping at the
Riggs There are several ladies prominently
identified with the woman's suffrage move
ment now in the city, and their presence
here is for the purpose of urging action upon
the sixteenth amendment by congress. A call
has been issued, and the annual convention
of the National Women's Suffrage association
will be held at Lincoln hall, in this city
January 90, "a and 20. From responses al
ready received it is expected that delegates
will be present from every state in the
union. In connection with the womens suf-
frage movement Miss Susan b. Anthony, who
has been in the city for some days. addressed
a letter to the President, calling attention to
the great progress that had been made toward
the attainment of woman's suffrage and
suggesting that the question had now be-
come of sufficient Importance to entitle it to
some mention in his message to congress. A
reply was received stating that the President
would give her letter careful CONSIDERATION,
and while no reference was made to wOmans
| suffrage in the message, the advocates of the
movement do not feel discouraged, as in the
course of the session they believe that the
question of the sixteenth amendment
| will take such shape as will require
some special word from the executive
head of the nation. During the coming week
it is expected that Senator Saunders will
bring up the bill for the admission of Dakota
to the union as a state, and it is the purpose
of the advocates of woman's suffrage to move
to have the word male" stricken from the
constitution submitted for the new state
Miss Foster and Miss Anthony do not fee
at all dismayed by the recent defeat O
woman's suffrage in Nebraska, as the vote
in its support was stronger than was at frs
expected. The sixteenth amendment is nov
ON the senate calendar, and Miss Anthony ant
Miss Foster are confident that they will b.
able to secure majority report favorable t.
their project from the house committee be
fore the holiday adjournment.

POISONED BY COSMETICS.
What is Said In This city OF the Death OF
the Actress Cassie Troy.

NCtU York sun
A dispatch from New Orleans yesterday
announced the death in the Hotel Dieu of Miss
Cassie Troy the well-lInown emotional actress,
who has been travelling with the Carrie Swain
dramatic company, supporting Miss Swain in
the play of "Cad, the Tomboy." Miss Troy
had been complaining for some time of fre-
auent sharp pains and of rushing of blood
to her head. On November 81 while the
company was playing at Bidwell's academy of
music, she appeared in the first act in her
usual character of Emma, the adventures.
As the curtain fell on the first act she was
seized with sudden illness, and could not pro-
ceed with her part. physician, who was
called, pronounced her ailment painters collie.
Her part was taken by Miss Ella Hunt, and
she was removed to the Hotel Dieu in pre-
carious condition. On Wednesday last she
was much improved, but not well enough to
proceed with the company to Mobile She re-
mained in the hotel in care of n kind acquaint-
ance. Her disease, however, grew worse until
death, yesterday, relieved her sufferings
1t is now believed that she died of blood
poisoning superinduced by the use of cosmetics
necessary TO her makeup in the parts she
played. An examination of her makeup
box showed that she was in the habit of using
large quantities of paste containing prepar-
alton of lead, which is believed to be poison
Gus.
Business Manager Leigh Lynch, ofthe Union
Square Theater said of her last night "She
was an accomplished and favorite actress. She
was from 1865 to 1873 one of the Turkish dra-
matte company, playing leading Juvenile
parts. Since that time she has been in tho
neighborhood of New York, and has lived for
q number of years at 1861 Grand street. Jersey
City, where she has mother, sister. and two
children. have known of several instances
of actors being poisoned by the use of grease
paints which are often necessary to conceal
the wearing of wigs. 1 remember an actor
named Sullivan who died of this poisoning"

Another Clyli-servIce Rill.

Another civil-service reform bill, with nota-
bly, radical aud non-political provisions, has
been prepared, and will be introduced by
Hon. IL. b, Strait, of Minnesota. 1t provides
for competitive examinations; for appoint
ment solely for merit; for fixed tenure of
Office four or six years, with probationary
term; no dismissal except for cause, sc, Some

THE SENATE OFFICEs.r :
What A New England Senator Says.
WashiRgton Critic

NuSNtHgtDH CItttC
A republican senator from New England
state was this morning accosted by Critic
scribe with the inquiry:
"Are you going to stick to George Gorham
for secretary when the senate organizes next
spring."
AZ suppose so," was the reply. "Mr. Cor
hams nomination has never been cancelled.
| think that, according to well-established
party usages he is entitled to be considered
the candidate until he is either elected or
beaten, or some other candidate is substituted
in his stead, and | don't think another could
be consistently substituted and he thrown
overheard except for cause"
How about the sergeant-at-arms"
Al do not know about that Mr.. Riddle
berger, the candidate of the caucus, is now
out of the race. That leaves the field open so
far as that office is concerned. The caucus
will select candidate ON the majority prin-
ciple,". ,,,,,,.. .,
Malone will ask the caucus to give the place
to Virginia rcadiuster as matter of right
| Do you think that point will be concededW
"My impression is that if Senators Malone
and Riddeberger cooperate with our caucus
their wishes will be respected as members OF
our organization in good standing. l don't
see how they can expect more. We are all IN
the same boat. Democratic defeat and repub
lican success are quite as important to then
as to us. would not make any special assign
ment of favors on account of any peculiar po
litical condition in any state"
"Then you will not favor giving the ser
geant-at-arms to Virginia?"
"No, sir; not in the sense Of tribute. Th,
New England delegations so far as l know
will present Col, George w, Hooker, of Yer
mont, and support him throughout. If TIN
caucus nominates some one else we shall o.
course vote for the nominee. That is all tina
can be said about the matter"

CIVIL-sERVICE REFORM.
The Features of MIR. ISasson,s Bill.

The important changes made by Mr.. Kassons
civil-service bill are The addition of clause
prohibiting political assessments, the added
provision making it apply to consuls and sec
retaries of legations whose terms shall be six
years, instead of four, as in the case of all the
clerks in the departments here, excluding
only the clerks in the Office of president; to
all clerks in the customs service, to railway
postal clerks, and to clerks in post-otlices
whose annual pay is $4,000 OF more. The
provision for local boards of examination in
cases where the officers or clerks are to serve
in the state or territory whence appointed is
also an addition since the bill came from
the committee, as is the penalty pro-
vided in case of attempt to use influence
in securing reports favorable to any
particular applicant. The bill provides that
removals may be made only for some OF the
following causes: Infdelity to the govern
mont intemperance, habitual profanity, mat
tention or neglect of duty, incapacity for the
duties of the office, disobedience of official in
structions, disrespect TO officers of the same or
other departments of the government, indie
cency in speech, intentional rudeness OF
language or behavior toward persons having
official business with the officer or toward his
associates, conduct unbecoming an officer and
| gentleman, Prior tOany removals for either OF
these causes copy ofthe charges with specitca-
tions shall be delivered in writing to the per-
son charged or left addressed to him at his
usual place of residence, and the time shall be
specified within which he shall make written
reply To provide against evasions by dis
missals and reappOintments, apparently based
ON the needs Of the service, the following
clause was inserted:
Any incumbent of Office may also be discharged
whenever, in the opinion of the chief officer OF HI
! Jurisdiction, such employment Is no longer re
! quired by the public interest, in which case thi
cause shall be alleged in the notice Of removal Y
be given in writing, aud no further appoint
ment shall be made in place Of that so yacate'

SWINDLING LABORERS.

Holding Out False inducements as to Pay
and Board.
miles City Cor. (Feb. 16) Bismarck Tribune.
In looking over the St. Paul Pioneer Press
of February II, 1 read the following in the
''want' column:
100 LABORERS-For N. P. road in
lOO Montana, 1925 to $3.50 per day.
Board, $3.50. Go Sunday night. Free fare.
Office open Sunday night. 22l Washington
avenue south.
This, sir, is Il fair sample of that prolific
and swndling business called "Emp loyment
Bureaus" These men should be arrested for
obtaining money under false pretences. The
fact is that H. Clark & Co., for whom all
are osteusibly hired, have never paid
more than 50 per day for common laborers,
nor do they pay more to-day. Instead of
by him and by all his sub-contractors. The
Northern Pacific Railroad company's Yellow
stone division pays S1.90 to 50 per day for
laborers and So. so to So for carpenters.
Board is 81. per week. Winston Bros, q
Clark, track layers, pay laborers 50 per day;
iron men, spikers and tie men, all skilled
workmen, 50 Is to S2.25; bridge carpenters
1928 to $3.50 per day. Board $3.50. In
Montana every man is expected to furnish his
own blankets. So when we speak of board it
simply means meals and shelter, without bed
ding of any description, unless paid
out OF first wages. Last fall some 1900
men were shipped into Montana, all expecting
to strike bonanza. None had blankets, very
few had any money, and all had to foot it
up the line from LOO to 800 miles beyond the
end of the track before they obtained work.
Again they came fifty to 200 at time, conf
IDENTIFY expecting 1925 and $3.50 per day, and
get board at $3.50 per week as soon as they
reach the end of the track tits impossible.
The raw hand is not worth it here or any
where, 'taint in the books.'' Should men be
allowed to swlndle poor men and ignorant
foreigners with impunity? Must Montana be
cursed with cheap laborers? Will the North
ern Pacific still furnish passes to these en-
ployment bureaus and so aid to abet this
ghoulsh business? VEX.
