youngsters TO know how the earth turns

Down on First street, or round the
corner, or anywhere"
This dialogue took place on the Avenue
about half hour after the cars stopped
between man who has held AID epart-
ment clerkship here in Washington for
years. a man who devoted q considerable
portion of his comfortable salary to hav-
ing good time and who, thought he knew
the town pretty WELL and a decidedly
disreputable looking white man with one
arm.
The well-dressed man had Just come
out of one of the all-night saloons and
was putting meditatively at his cigar as
he strolled home through the damp dust
raised by the street.sweepers as they
brushed over the scantily. sprlnkled
street.
The idea of nights lodging for ten
cents was a novel one to him, and he
hardly believed that place to sleep
could be got for that price. After
moments hesitation he concluded he
would just for the novelty of the thing
see If his shabby interlocutor was telling
the truth.
"All right" he said, aloud; "here's
your ten cents, and I'll go with you and
see what kind of room you can get for
ten cents.
The rounder offered the beggar cigar
which the latter lighted with series of
long slow puffs, as If he wished to make
the cigar last as long as possible, and they
started down the Avenue toward First
street.
"You people what has plenty of
money" said the one-armed man, who
started O conversation at once, as IL he
had known his well-dressed companion
all his life, "don't know half what they
is in this rum old town. | have lived in
a dozen big cities and l tells you that for
odd things an seein' somethin' different
every night, there's no place like Wash
ington-that is, supposin' you has got
money"
The one-armed man talked away until
the Peace Monument was reached, then
the one armed man and the rounder
turned to the left up First street. Most
of the square from the Avenue to b
street is filled with tumble-down wooden
houses. Most of than had dimly burn
ing oil lamps in their Railways and over
several of the doorways were glass-sided
lanterns, ON which were painted such an
nouncements as Lodging, Twenty
Cents "Single Rooms. Twenty-Five
Cents;' or "Ten Cent Lodging House."
Around the corner on b street were sew
eral more cheap lodging houses, but of
rather more reputable appearance.
Near the corner of b street, the one
armed man went up to the door of one
of the houses, beside the door of which
was tackled paper sign, reading:

STREET SCENES.

CHICAGO, June 19.-The city is in de-
lirium of red, white and blue. 1t is esti
mated that over one million yards OF these
goods have been used in decorating. The
town was astir early and from the rising of
the sun all through the forenoon bands
and delegations were marching through
the streets from the various depots at
which they had arrived to their respective
headquarters. The day was brilliant,
clear and sweltering hot. The hotel lob
bies, the streets and the sidewalks
are crowded with a mass of per-
spring people, estimated at 10000,
in addition to the regular population. No
former convention has brought out nearly
such large number. Parades in the in
terests of the various candidates have
been going about the streets during the
entire forenoon. A unique feature OF the
Gresham party was band of aged work
ingmen carrying frightened tin pals and
wearing straw hats, and bearing banner
with the motto, 'The father
OF the bucket brigade" The
most striking parade of the day
however, was that Of the Cincinnati
Blaine clubs, who also appeared several
hundred strong wearing white hats and
gloves and carrying parasols, marching in
column of tours, open order, the parasols
of the successive ranks being red, white
and blue. These they whirled rapidly
giving an exceedingly brilliant keledias-
copic effect. The banner bore the words

THE WOMEN.
The Woman's Suffrage Society Addressed
by Leading Advocates.

CHICAGO June 19-As many as could
sit or stand III Apolls hall were to night
listening to Miss Susan 3. Anthony, Mrs.
Isabelle Beecher Hooper and Mrs. Pat
terson, of San Francisco, who addressed
the County Woman's Suffrage society
Miss Anthony read from the Republican
platform of 1884, the paragraph ending:
We believe in the protection Of every
citizen in his political rights" and said,
freedom and the franchise belong to ev-
cry citizen by virtue Of their citizenship
and we have no use for an amendment to
the constitution. What we want today is
to secure from the Republican party in its
present convention recognition that the
grand, eloquent sentences in their plat
form include women. Our secretary, Mrs
Hooper, was before the Republi
can national committee last week,
asking them to put in their
platform recognition Of woman's right
to vote. The newspapers SAID she was
pleasantly listened TO. That is always the
way. For forty years we have been pleas
antly received, politely talked to and sent
away empty handed. The Democratic con-
vention, just after the war, was asked to
recognize women. Our memorial was re-
ceived with jolly roar of laughter and re-
ferred to the committee on resolutions by
Horatlo Seymour. Mrs. Merrlweather was
received in St. Louis about the same way.
We have got our courage up a little and
we are now going to try ana get another
royal snub, and L suppose the leaders are
preparing it for us now. The Republican
convention said in 1872, the claims Of u
large part of our citizens, meaning women,
desire civil consideration. The women
took heart and stumped the state. Who
shall say what the influence Of women's
enthusiasm did that campaign? The Re-
publicans polled the largest vote they
ever did before or since.
