A Notable Woman.

On Feb. Is Miss Susan B. Anthony, the
leader Of the woman suffrage movement in
this country, will reach the SEVENTEEN mile
post in her journey of life, and her friends
In Washington will celebrate the event by
a banquet. Miss Anthony is an interesting
figure in American public life. She is
woman of much more than ordinary ability
and while she has not accomplished a great
deal in the cherished aim of her life, she
has lived TO see municipal suffrage for
women in Kansas and school suffrage
for them in eighteen states. She
did not identify herself with the woman
suffrage movement until 1858, but since
that time she has been an untiring worker
in the cause, and so great has been her ze |
that she sunk 5000 in a newspaper which
advocated tue right of women 10 vote at
any and all elections, and to hold office
She has also been a temperance lecturer and
a school teacher, and it was while engaged
in teaching that she became an enthusiast
for female suffrage.
Her father was wealthy, but he lost his
wealth in the fina cial panic of 1887. He
had wisely fitted Miss Anthony for the pro-
| fession of teaching, however, and when
| she was scarcely more than 10 years old she
was the teacher Of village school, When
she gave up tie position, man was en-
gagged, and he was paid rec times the sal
AIRY she received. In this way her attention
was directed to the inequality of wages paid
20 men and women, aud she gradually be-
came an advocate of woman's rights. One
of the greatest sensations she ever created
where the male teachers had been discussing
the problem WY the profession of teaching
was not as highly houored as that of law.
She arose to speak. In that day this was
an unheard-of thing for a woman to do,
and the president had first to obtain the per-
mission of the men for her to proceed She
said that as long as society declared that
women had not brains enougl TO BE- lawyers,
doctors or ministers, but enough to bs
teachers, the men engaged in teaching &C
knowledged tacitly that they had no more
brains than women, and just so long preiu-
dice wouli exist against teaching In 1872
she was ARE sted for voting at congress.
ional election and was fined 500. She
thinks that her life purpose will be accom-
plished before size dies.
OF the two great parties, Miss Anthony
| apparently favors the democratic, for she is
outspoken against trusts, and she refuses to
share the peculiar notion recently advanced
| by some republicans that farm mortgage
is an evidence of prosperity.

A ST.. LOUIS HoTELKEEPER, speaking of the
cranks he frequently encounters, says that a
fine-looking man from the east, apparently a
perfect gentleman, the first time he entered the
dining-room was dissatisfied with the seat given
him by the head usher. He moved around from
one seat TO another without being able to secure
the one he thought he wanted. Finally WORK.
ing himself into passion. he left the dining
room and came down to tn landlord with lone
story of the fancied wrongs inflicted upon HIM
10y the walters. He deman led a card of admis-
sion to the dining room, which was given him.
and which he Immediately presented to the
usher who had a short time before seated him
he seemed satis6ed with the seat given him that
time, although the place was no better than the
one assigned him at first. The next cratic
move he made was to demand wine card and
write an order for lone glass of pure water y
After that everything seemed to suit him.

The Houston (rex.) Post says that two
members of the Texas delegation in con-
gress are native Georgians. 1t refers to
Mr.. Kilgore, who was born in Newman, and
Mr.. Culberson, who was born in Troup
county. 1t might have mentioned also that
the celebrated Mr.. Martin was born in
Twiggs county, Georgia, and that if he had
remained in Geo gia he would have known
better than to blow out the gas. OF the
Alabama delegation, Senator Pugh was
born in Burke COUNTY, Geo ,gia, Represen-
tative Cobb in Thomaston, and Representa-
tive Wheeler in Augusta. Senator George

native Georgians in congress OF the Geor-
gla delegation, Senator Brown was born in
South Carolina, Mr. Crisp in England, and
Mr.. Turner in North Carolina.

Mayor Cregier, of Chicago, is nepotist
of very pronounced type. He appointed
his Oldest son electrician for the North
Side pumping station at a salary of $4,000
year; another son assistant oil inspector
at 1900; third to position with salary
of 81 800. His son-iu-law was appointed oil
inspector at $4,000 year; two nephe VS.
were given positions at 81, 500 and $l.60C
respectively and the mayors salary is 81, 200
1t will be seen that S3O,6)0 of the public
funds of Chicago fall into the ckets of
the Cregier family yearly. The mayor is
evidently trying to rival President Harrison
as a nepotist.

Mr.. Wilson Barrett deserves to be com
mended for something he did the other day.
While in Chicago he was urged to give a
dramatic performance Sunday night. He
was offered $1,000 to do so, but he stoutly
refused, saying tlat Sunday was not the
proper tine for that kind of thing. Mr..
Barrett did no more than he should have
done, and yet his ct was courageous one,
and it not only showed that he had respect
for the S,bbath, but it will probably
strengthen the general respect for that day.

State Sen tor Yarrel, of Virginia, has
returned from Greensville, Va, where he
went to fad out if the reports of great suf-
fering among the people there on account
of short crops were correct. He found
that he condition of the people was not as
bad as reported, but that it was such that
many of them would soon be in danger of
starvation unless they received assistance.
The crops were an utter failure last year.
and for the two preceding years half crops
had been made. 1t has been impossible for
many of the people to get work, and in
some families the provisions are about ex-
hausted, with no prospect of getting more,
except through contributions. The south
ern people ought to come to the relief Of

A bitter discussion has grown out OF the
typhoid fever epidemic in Pittsburg soon
after the Johnstown disaster. The medic al
society of Pittsburg declared the other day
that the newspaper and medical ignoramu ,es
were responsible for the epidemic, they
having told tae people that the Allegheny
river water at Pttsburg was full of the
foulest pollution from d ecsymg Johnsto wn
victims, and having induced them to drink
contaminated spring, cistern and well
water. The report says: 1.-The mass of
water which had come down the river was
so enormous that 1t would have been phv-
steal impossibllity to so contaminate it as to
injure the public health of Pittsburg and
Allegheny. In forty-eight hours ali the
ces pool accumulations of Johnstown and
Cambria had been swept past us, aud were
hundreds of miles down the Ohio. What
remained had been left high on the river
banks by the receding waters" The press
and the medical ignoramuses" of Pitts
burg could not stand this, of course, and
the war Of words that followed may very
well be imagined

a Neglected aubiect.

Much has been said and written upon the
subject, "At What Aga Should Womea
Marry| but it is little remarkable that,
While the weight of opinion is against early
marriages, the kindred subject, "At What
Age Should Men Marly!' is some what neg
lected. There is probably some good rea-
son for this, and yet it must be admitted
that the subjects are of nearly equal i'm
portance, since a very young man who
enters the married state marries, ia IN js5
instances, woman younger than himself.
Ii Is quite out of the ques i1n to SGT
the age at which women should
marry, as long as men, to use
the sarcastic language of female writer,
can safely and happily marry whether
young aud green, middle-aged and staid, or
old and helpless. Women don't do the pro
posing in this country to any great extent,
and sincs such is the fact it would seem
that the best and, in fact, the only way to
stop early marriages is to impress upon the
you G men the Importance of patience. We
may present to the mind of the girl Just
budding into womanhood hun ired con-
vlncing arguments why she should not be
III d hurry TO take step WHICH, some one
has said, is not the end, but e real Begin
ming of life, and she may admit the force
Of them, separately aud colIectiv lv, but
what chance has parental argument against
the pleadings Of lover?
Lord Beaconstield, whose married life
was full of happiness, ma ried when he was
81 years old Mr.. Gladstone was so, and
MS experience has gone far to prove that
marriage is not ilure. Robert Browning
married at 81. Washi gton did not rush
| into matrimony at the sentimental age. but
waited until he was %, and so did
Adams and jefferson. Andrew Jackson was
married at %, and Daniel Webster at 26. All
of these are instances of happy marriages. 1t
would be folly to say that all early mar
riages turn out badly, but as rule it is best
| for both men and women to wait until time
has given judgment and has tempered pas
sionate and unreasoning love- The reasol J.
ing must be done some time. the pros d
cons must be co sidered, and the best time
to consider them is before marriage.
