read a mysterious letter purporting t,
have come from him in some mysterious
way. Nearly Ave years ago FINS Aller
was found guilty by our courts of the

The whole story is unsavory. When il
was discovered that plans were on foot To
set Finis Allen free, a large meeting was
held to protest against it, and the matter

stands with the governor, to act upon as
advised by these votes. A man wa
heard the other day to say that our pres
ent system of trying and Furnishing Grim
mails is SO complicated and 80 uncertain
in its results as to be entirely un-
satisfactory. Others say that if Finis

tary of the Woman Suffrage association,
deliverd a woman suffrage address in the
M. E. church on the evening Of the 9TH.
The speech was amiable In tone, witty in
coloring, able in presentation and hard
to answer; and yet it may be q long time
before women vote. The fallacy of the
speech lay in failing to distinguish be.
tween single or unmarried people and
double or married people. Is married
life a unit or is it not2 Arc these two
one in the eyes of the law, in the conduct
of human life, or are they two2 Shall
we do anything more to disintegrate the
family2 The comparative failure of all
such addresses lies In CHS:
They must, to greater or
less degree, run counter to q funda-
mental arrangement of tho unity OF n
man with one woman in n home and
