ah. Governments derive their just
powers from the consent Of the governed, |"
and women are governed; taxation with
out representation is tyranny, and women
are taxed; "all political powers inheres In
the people" and one-half OF the people are
women. .
Resolved, That women, as the sisters,
wives and mothers OF men, have special
rights TO protect and special wrongs to
remedy; that their votes will represent in a
special sense the interest OF the home that
the equal cooperation O! the sexes is essen
tial alike to a happy home, a refined so
ciety, "a Christian church and a republican

Aud, whereas, under the federal constitu-
ton "alI persons born or naturalized in
the United States are citizens thereof and
OF the states in which they reside, y and by
the decision OF the United States courts
women are citizens and may be made
voters by appropriate state legislation
therefore resolved.
First-That the officers oi this society

SppDu1-Ihnt While we do not under
value any form OF agitation, state or
national, re hold that practical WON.
en- suffrage can at present be best
promoted by urging legislative rs well as
constitutional changes, and by appealing
to state as well as national authority;
therefore we urge the establishment OF act
i've state societies in every state, unite
their working centers in the state capitals
and their corresponding committees in
every representative district,
Third-That in every state at each ses-
sion Of it's legislature petitions should be
presented by it's own citizens asking for
III suffrage by statute in all elections,
and for all officers not expressly limited by
the word male in the state constitution;
also for a constitutional amendment
striking out the word male"
Fourth-That school suffrage having
been secured Tor women, by statute, in
twelve states, our next dem n should be
for full municipal SUFFRAGE by statute,
Resolved, That our special thanks are
due TO Maj. j. A. Iickler and the majority
Of both houses oil the Dakota legislature,
who extended suffrage last spring to the
women of that territory, and We trust that

opening of the solemn requiem services, the
Papal XOuaves in gold lace and

about the ~Cataialque, 4 moment laterthe
doors Of hesacristy were flung open, anda
long procession Of white robes and acolYtes
filed down the steps to the seats directly in
front Of the high altar. There was a mo,
ment OF hushed expectancy as Father Fam
mel waved his hands, and then the stiffness
was broken by priests as they hanted the
office OF the dead. The goo voices of the
priests and bays, mcllowed ly the distance,
sounded swectly to the ear OF the waiting
congregation, The boys chanted one line of
the psalm and the priests the second, Then
came the singing OF Psalm "a. IL was not,
however, until the priests came to the mis-
erere that the full richness and beauty OF
the well trained voices OF the chancel choir
were brought out. In all probabilitynoth-
ing like the singing OF these priests and boys
has ever been heard in the city. First came
the singing oil the Latin lines by the boy

voices Of the priests, The notes otthe chant
flowed upward among the great arches OF
the cathedral, and being reflected by the
pillars, were thrown backward andforward
until they died away in the distance.
Some more psalms were then sung by the
choirs in unison, after which came the
