require half an hour's work three times

.H Promise Made In 1888.
Occasionally some Democrat will
sneeringly ask why the Republican
party don't redeem its promise to give
the old soldiers a service pension. If
any such promise had been made.a it
would ill become the Democratic papers
to complain at its non fuhllmeDt But
the Republican party assuch has never
promised a service pensioE. Many
Republicans would like to see a PEN
sion for every Union soldier, and many
think that the time has not yet come
for measure of that kind. But the
party has not declared for o service PEN
sion, and is therefore not to be charged
with any breach of faith if Congress
fails to pass such law.
The National policy of the Republican
party on pensions is defined in the Ma

When talk to woman suffrage audi

apt to lay stress upon women's duty; but
tonight / will talk directly to the men
here present. Z

hold it ungracious in the extreme for
the men to make any such demand upon
the women. You do not think it wom-
anly for us to stand for our personal
rights in small ways. You are always
ready to shield us in crowds; you are al
ways ready to assist US in little ways
where we need you; but you forget, the
best of you forget, how much more 1t
costs woman to appear before legis-
lative body and plead for that which
should have been given her with open
hand long ago. You forget that you'are
placing upon us burden you should
long ago have borne yourselves; and 1t
seems to me extremely ungracious.
More than that, it is unjust. ] never
make an appeal for woman suffrage be-
fore legislative committee that 1 am
not ashamed-not ashamed for myself,
because, if the men do not do their duty
in this matter, the women must-but
ashamed that men should suffer Amer
lean women, in this last quarter of the
nineteenth century, to have this burden
still resting upon them Of trying
to do away with so stupid an anach-
ronism as the political subsection of
women. The men Of Massachusetts,
should say to the women of Massachu-
sets, Friends. we are asking you to do
SO much of our teaching, so much Of the
care of the dependent classes, so much
of the humanizing of the criminal ele-
ment, so much charitable and church
work, so much of every kind of higher
work which the world of humanity af-
fords, that you certainly can not have
time or strength left for this business OF
getting yourselves on your feet politi-
cally; don't trouble your heads about it
any longer; we men will come up and do
this thing, which we ought to have done
long ago" Do you suppose that petit
ton signed by women has the force Of
one signed by men? Do you suppose,
if all the voting men of Massachusetts
should rise and say: 'We want the
women to vote with u.s." that any legis-
lature would deny our petition? You
know it would not. 1t is small business
to be courteous in trifes and unjust in
great things. know men do not mean
to be unjust. know that they came
into this position, as we have, through
slow growth. But the time has passed
when the burden of appeal and the bur
den of work should be left upon women.
Men who are here present, by doing us
justice you can write yourselves into
grateful hearts of women in a deeper,
more sacred, more enduring fashion
than you have ever written yourselves
into the hearts of women by paying COM
pliments and by giving us generosity.

DISGUISED AND ARMED
Suspicious Characters Locked Up
in Prison.

A messenger of Wells. Fargo & Co.'S Ex-
press, who had had exi eriences on the road
with tram-r0bDerS, and was in consequence
rather suspicious and acute regarding
strange looking individuals. noted two men
yesterday on Powell street acting in queer
manner.
He ted policeman of what he had seen,
but the fficer paid no attention to his story
and declined to Investigate the matter. The
messenger. now thoroughly aroused by his
curiosity, followed the men until he met
Officer j. j. Mclaughlin, who quickly pro-
ceeded to see if lie should arrest tn
strangers.
On the corner of Dupont and Pacific
streets Mclaughlin overlook them, and
finding that one was disguised wi III heavy
false beard and blackened eyebrows, he
took the fellows TO the City Prison.
The prisoners gave the names of John
Allen and Thomas Martin. Aliens true
name is Cleveland, and he has been known
for years to the police as ''Sheetiron Jack"
The other is so far unknown, but his part
ner is an old convict Martins hands were
colored with dirty pigment, giving them
the appearance OF workmans. His eye
hrows were colored with toilet prepare
ton. and the dark beard disguised his
features completely. He had big revolver
in the inside pocket of his coat. He was
charged win carrying concealed weapons
and violating a city ordinance by wearing a
disguise. Cleveland was held on a charge of
yagrancy.
No sooner were they locked up than Mar
tin made a partial confession. He said he
had just come from Modesto, and went TO
the What Cheer House TO board. While
there he met Cleveland, and yesterday they
walked up town together, stopping Mt Will
Il Finck's to buy false boards, pigments and
POWDERS, and also at pawn-shop on Grant
avelue, near Suffer street, to buy pistol.
They had intended visiting friend of Cleve-
lands, and merely got the DISCUSSES and
pistol FOR josh" to brighten the friend.
Although their money was very tight they
did not consider it unusual TO buy these arti-
Giles, which were expensive.
In the room occupied by Martin the police
found two wigs, three boards of different
cOlors and paints for the face. Martin again
explained that lie had bought them TO have
some fun at other peoples expense.
The detectives believe the men to be
stage or train robbers who have Just come
to town, and there is a probability that the
men had only started out to commit rob-
berries.
Cleveland would not speak about the
cause OF Ills arrest, but Martin made state
ments which received no credence. Among
other things he stated he had been years in
the country, but belied himself on dates.
He would not say where he had worked nor
give any references whatever. He is sup
posed 10 be Martin Mccarthy, an ex-tonvct.

MISS HELLO AT LUNCH.
Her MONDAY Rcpast Is Provided
at the C0mpany's Expense.

The Clara We're de Veres who spend their
days in idleness and their nights in gayety
may not envy the humble maideps wi } earn
their daily bread at the swiich-boards of
the Pacific Bell Telephone Company, yet it
is fact that the existence of these latter is
by no means devoid Of pleasure. This
pleasure does not altogether consist in being
called hello, by every fool with a phone,
nor in being obliged 10 listen to remarks
that are tahoOed in all well-regulated re-
ligious gatherings.
The telephone girl is not compelled to
arise at an early hour and dig her way
through the chilly fog to the Office and she
Is not, like the type-writiDg girl, obliged TO
make of herself Il repository of her EN-
ployer's business secrets. She gets down to
the office at 8 o'clock in the morning and
laying aside her wraps, sits down to work
at the uncannY machine that would render
many strong man eligible for admission
into an insane asylum, and at o'clock in
tho afternoon her work is done.
But it is at the hour of noon that the SUI
periority Of the telephone girls lot in life is
made manifest, While the saleslady, and
the type-writing lady, and the fruit-canning
lady and all the other ladies who toll and
spin are skipping homeward or restaurant
ward, or nibbling their lunches on counters
or in corners, Miss Hello is taking her noon
day meal-and 1t IS always good One-in n
large, airy and well-lighted room on the
third floor of the Mercantile Library Build
ing. 1t is free lunch, literally free lunch,
although the young ladies, no doubt have a
less conventional name for it. The company
supplies. the cook, the room and the food
without charging the girls a picayune for
them. For a long time The switch operators
have been supplied with coffee and sand
wi hes, but recently the bill of fare was en-
larged until it included all that is generally
supplied for lunch at a restaurant, and the
lunch-room was fitted up.
The representative of the company, who
gave this information to CALL reporter
yesterday and invited him to inspect the
lunch-roOm. made bold to say that the
switch-ladies are very grateful to the conf
pany for its very practical evidence of re-
gard for their comfort.
He was asked what provision the company
make for its young men at noon, and sadly
he replied:
