PED OUT AND ADOPTED.

PED OUT AND ADOPTED.
WASHINGTON, March Sat the
session of the woman's suffrage As
sociation yesterday a plan for future
action was mapped out and agreed
upon. It was decided to hold con-
ventions the coming year under the
auspices of the association in every
State and Territory not now organ
lied for woman's suffrage, and that
upon the vice president of the asSo-
citation should devolve the super
intendency Of what is known as
legislative work in their respective
State and Territories. This legisla-
tive work consists in the endeavor
to secure the adoption by State and
Territorial legislatures of recon-
mendations to their representatives
in Congress ofthe proposed sixteenth
amendment to give the freedom
of the ballot to woman. 1t was also
decided to use all the resources at
the command of the association to
defeat any Presidential candidate
by whatever party nominated who
opposed to woman's suffrage. The
views of the several candidates on
this question are to be obtained by
the officers of the association, Mrs.
Stanton, Miss Anthony and Mrs.
Sswall, and when obtained these
officers will issue an address to the
country directing the course TO be
followed by them, with respect to
the candidate. tits not proposed to
aid any candidate to secure election,
but to defeat every candidate not in
sympathy with the objects of the
association. Mrs. Sewall, chairman
of the Executive committee, made a
report upon the work during the
year, and upon what it proposed
doing the coming year. This re-
port was discussed and adopted by
the association. Miss Tyler, of
Arkansas, made telling report of
the work in that State. Addresses
were also made by Florence Kal-
lock, of Illinois; Mrs. Shattuck, Of
Massachusetts, and Mrs. Dunaway.
of Oregon. Resolutions were adopt
ed expressing satisfaction at the
encouraging condition of the move
ment, and the convention adjourned
sine die. Twenty six States and Terri
tories have been represented in the
convention. The Senate Commit
tee on Woman Suffrage gave hear
ing to the members of the associa
ton. Mrs. Shattuck, of Massachu-
setts; Mrs. Sewall, and Mrs. Cougar,
of Indiana; Mrs. Rogers, of New
York; Mrs. Dunaway, of Oregon;
Mrs. Harbart, of Illinois, and Miss

GOOD ADVICE.
WORKING THEMSELVES TO DEATH.
Burlington HawkeYe y

TO YOUNG MEN WHO ARE AFRAID OF
WORKING THEMSELVES TO DEATH.
Burlington Hawkeye.H
And then, remember, my son, you
have to work. Whether you handle
a pick or pen, a wheelbarrow or a
set of books, digging bitches or edit
ing paper, ringing an auction bell
or writing funny things, you must
work. Ifyou will look around you,
son, you will see that the men who
are most able to live the rest of their
days without work arc the men
who work the hardest. Don't be
afraid of killing yourself with over
work, son. 1t is beyond your pow
er to do that. Men cannot work so
hard as that on the sunny side of
thirty.
They die sometimes, but its be-
cause they quit work at p. M, and
don't get home until 2 a. IN. It's
the interval that kills, my son. The
work gives you an appetite for
meals, it lends solidity to our slum-
Der, it gives perfect and grateful
appreciation Of a holiday. There
are young men who do not work,
my son, young men who make q
living by sucking the end of cane,
whose entire mental development is
just sufficient to tell them which
side of a stamp to lick, young men
who can tie neck tie in eleven diff
ferent knots and never lay a wrinkle
in it, and then would get intoa West
Hill street car to go to Chicago;
can spend more money in a day
than you can earn in a month, son,
and who will go to the Sheriffs to
buy a postal card, and apply at the
office of the street commissioner for
a marriage license But the world
is not proud of them, my son. 1t
does not know their names even !;
it simply speaks of them as Seanso's
boys. Nobody likes them, nobody
hates them; the great busy world
doesn't even know that they are
here, and at the great day of the
resurrection if they do not appear
at the sound of the trumpet, and
they certainly will not unless some
body tells them what it is for and
what to do, I don't think Gabriel
will miss them or notice their alb
sence, and they will not be sent for
or disturbed Things will go on
just as we'll without them. So find
out what you want to be and to do,
son, and take off your coat and
make a dust in the world. The
buster you are the less deviltry you
are apt to get into, the brighter
and happier your holiday, and the
better satisfied the world will be
with you.

AN UNNATURAL son.
He Beats His Aged Mother in
a Frightful Manner. Gath
ers His Effects Together
and Skips Out.
Memphis Public LAdger

Malinda Richardson, a colored
woman, employed as a domestic al
the boardinghouse of Mrs. Schafer,
No. 137 Dadison street, called at
police headquarters yesterday after
noon and swore out a warrant
against John Ennis, son of Mrs.
Schafer, for assault and battery.
The woman said Ennis had lust
struck her several blows, and was
beating his mother in a frightful
manner. Officer Hedrick at once
proceeded to serve the warrant and
reaching the house, found a young
man who, in response it inquiries,
said that Ennis had gathered some
clothes together and skipped cut
after assailing his mother in vio-
lent and brutal manner. Mrs.
Schafer was found in the kitchen
with her head bandaged up, and
bearing evidence of having received
severe treatment. She said her son
had been drunk, and eorroborated
the statement of the col0red .domes-
tic about the assault. She further
said that John (her som, had left
the house by the back way, and she
hoped and prayed he would stay
away and never molest her again.
Mrs. Shafer's manner was earnest,
and her statement bore the appear
ance of truth. Officer Hedrick made
several inquiries as to the mans
probable whereabouts and his haunts
but no information could be given
him. In the meantime the colored
girl who swore out the warrant en-
tered the house, when she learned
that her assailant had fled Moth
ing further was left Mr.. Hedrick to
do but return, and he had not gone
more than hundred yards from
the house before he was called by
the Richardson girl, who said Ennis
was in his room. The officer made
all haste back, only to find the bird,
which had been in the house all the
time and had not skipped, had this
time in reality taken wings unto
himself and flown. Active pursuit
was made, and the trail struck, but
lost on one of the streets south of
Madison where it crossed the bayou.
The statement of Mrs. Schafer and
the young man alluded to relative
to the imaginary fight Of the man
before the officer first reached the
house may be aptly olassed with
the peculiar veracity of a couple of
well-known Biblical characters.

A left handed man on North Hill,
rushed out yesterday afternoon to a
chain pump to get a bucket of
water. He made some ill-natured
remark about men making pumps
wrong side to and commenced to
grind. He turned and turned, and
ground and ground, and stopped
and rested, and talked softly to
himself, and ground again, and
kicked the pump, and took off the
lid and locked down into the els
tern, and put on the lid and sat
down to think, and got up and
turned the crank, and sweat and
kicked the pump again, and there
hung that bucket, as innocent of

Close Up At Six O'Clock.

This is 4 question which has for
some time occupied the thoughts of
the young men who are engaged as
clerks. But few OF our merchants
have given thought to it. In our opin-
ion it is reasonable demand on the
part OF that class of our community,
and we would like much TO see it &C
ceedcd to. The days now arc longer,
and most OF these yoang men go to
their respective stores at six in the
morning, and are mostly OH their feet
actively engaged until7 in the evening,
which, taking out the dinner hour,
makes q continuous duty OF tocetce hours.
Some even are required to remain lon

Sunday Night at the Opera House.

Agreeably 70 expectation sermon
was delivered by the Rev.. ~ Clifton,
Chaplain to the Newberry Rifles, Sun
day night in the Opera House. This
fine body of young men, the pride of
our town, in full uniform, met at their
Armory and from thence, accompanied
by their Chaplain. marched to the
building chosen as fit place for the
exercise OF the evening. The Rifles
twcnty-iour in number filed in and
took the places assigned them right
and left in the parqucttc. 1t was a
pretty and al interesting sight, the
handsome uniforms showing to adj
vantage on the manly forms Of the
youthful soldiers under the bright lights
which reflected all over the imposing
building. The sermon was 4 happy
effort of this distinguished preacher,
and enlisted the deep attention OF the
large audience. and was most appro-
pirate to the occasion. We congrat-
ulatc the Rifles Oil the thought which
gave rise to the delivery of this SER
mon. and suggest, that it might very
appropriately be repeated from time to
time.

THE FIRERMEN'S PARADE.
A SPLENDID SHOW.

The Parade and inspection OF our
fire department Tuesday afternoon was
q splendid affair, and the EXcelsior's
may we'll feel elated at the admiration
elected. The Hook and Ladder too
looked fine, and as body reflect credit
on the town. The Excelsior Steamer
and its two Reels, Us we'll as the Hook
and Ladder, were handsomely decor
ated with evergreen wreaths and bright
colored flowers, and looked as hand
some as hands could make them. The
procession started at $50 and was
made in the following order: first the
splendid steamer, crowned and almost
covered with floral offerings, and
drawn by four large grey horses, next
followed the two reels: the number on
parade was about fifty; then followed
the Hook and Ladder, beautifully dec
grated, the number of men is not
known, but no doubt the full strength
Of the company was represented, thus
through the principal streets the march
was made, to the admiration and de-
light OF the crowds OF ladies in their
Sunday dresses, and the gentlemen
and children who occupied the side
walks, doors and windows. This was
the first regular parade OF our infant
fire department, and great was the sat
isfaction. The town Of Newberry is
proud OF its firemen. After the pa
rade the line stopped in front of Court
House for inspection by the Town
Council, then took its place on Market
street to contest for the two medals
put up BY the Town Council, out OF
their own pockets, one to the best time
made by Squads, and 2 OF the EX-
celsiors, and the other one to the two
Squads of the truck. BY some mistake
squad ! of the ENcelsior's was not
timed and the contest for the medal
will have to be run some other day.
Both runs were good. The test OF the
engine Was from the time the smoke
came out of the stack until solid
stream of water issued out Of the noZ-
zle; it was just five minutes and thirty
The medal offered to the
Hook and Ladder was won by squad !,
making the run in one minute and
thirty seconds. Squad made it in
one minute and fifty-eight seconds.
The run was 300 yards, erection OF the
ladder, mounting of the agile member,
placing his hand upon the top round,
and placing the lader back
upon the truck. This ended the first
annual parade. Our sympathy is with
the brave fireman who carries his life
in his hand as it We're, and who in
spite OF fierce flames, crumbling, top
pling walls, and falling roofs rushes to
the rescue of life and property. Let
lis cherish the fireman aid ever eN-
libit our admiration and esteem.
