WOMAN SUFFRAGE NOTES.

AN application is soon TO be made to
the State of New Hampshire for the adj
mission of a woman to the practice of
law New Hampshire is the only State
in New England where women are not
allowed to practice, and the rule will
probably be broken now.
In Boston the assessment of women
voters closed October 1, with a total of
1878. These, added to the 1868 wom-
en- assessed last year, make total of
25,041 women entitled to register and
vote. The property-tax-paying women
will increase this number to over 30, 600.
Now, then, let registration be pushed
forward as rapidly as possible. Delays
are dangerous.
THE same men who are always insist
ing that women should keep to their
sphere now aver that sin ninety nino
cases out of a hundred a woman touches
speculation at her cost, and her best pol
icy is to let it alone" Marriage includ-
ed, of course; but her sphere will have
to be dubbed semi-circle, as this leaves
no chance for the perfect round."-

WOMEN are beginning to appear on
the list of applicants for patents in Eng
land. Among them were, Louisa
Lawrence, of London, for an inven-
tion of Improvements in letter
and bill fles;" Elizabeth Aspinwall, of
Berkenhead, for an invention for pol
ishing and cleaning laundry irons and
fatirons;" Florence King, Of West Ken
sington Park, for an invention of feed
ing-spoons for infants and invalids."-

In South Dakota school suffrage is
conferred upon women, and full woman
suffrage will next year be submitted to
| the voters. Governor Mellette, an out
spoken suffragist, is elected Governor,
and Major J. A. Pickler, the champion
of woman suffrage in the Legislature
three years ago, is U. S. Representa-
tive. Many strong suffragists have
been returned to the Legislature. Con-
stitutional prohibition is adopted by q
decisive majority.

and she ought not to go beyond it." My

He Should Assist Woman to obtain Her
Political Rights.
When talk to woman suffrage audi
ence, said Mrs. Anna Garlin Spencer
at the recent Festival of the New Eng
land Woman Suffrage Association, am
apt to lay stress upon women's duty; but
tonight will talk directly to the men
here present.
am tired, for one wom"n suffragist
of being told that when all the women
ask for the suffrage it will be granted.
| 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 it
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 it
seems to me extremely ungracious.
More than that it is unjust. never
make an appeal for woman suffrage be-
fore legislative committee that | 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. Tho men of Massachusetts
should say to the women of Massachu-
setts, 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 az
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 1t
any longer; we men will como up and do
this thing, which we ought to have done
long ago" Do you suppose that petit
tion 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 trifles 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 deeper, a
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.

with which Mr.. George had intimated

Mr.. Jones, Of Arkansas, supported

from Findlay, O., as to the purchase by
an English syndicate OF various glass
works in Fiudlay, Bellaire, Columbus,

that the effect Of tariff legislation was to

Mr.. Reagan, in discussing the general
question Of protection, spoke Of the or.

CHICAGO, August 8. Friday Mira.
Theresa Fuest began suit ior divorce
against her husband, Edmund Fuest,

filed his answer, charging her with i'm.
moral conduct with his employer, Jacob
Moskowitz, who is the Chicago repre-
sentative Of the banking house OF E. II.
Homer, No. IS Wall street, New York.
He also began suit for damages against
Moskowitz in the sum OF sis, 900. Mos.
kowitz has an office at No. 10 Dearborn
street, and Fuest has been his book
kaeper. -
There is very pretty story connected
with these suits. About a month or 80
ago Fuest applied to his employer for a
raise OF salary. Moskowitz suggested
that Fuest 80 direct to New York and
apply TO the home office. Fuest thought
this q pretty good scheme and was par
ticulatly delighted when Moskowitz
furnished him transportation to the
metropolis. Fuest secured the advance
in salary, and came back much elated,
but when he arrived here he was very
much surprised to find that Moskowitz
was living with Mrs. Fueat at the family
residence, No. 322 Mohawk street.
Fuest made bad bargain, however,
and sold the furniture in the house to
Muskowitz for $500, leaving the pair to.

and Moskowitz 60 into q house on Clark
streek, near Grant place, and after watch.

escape by an alley, but Fuest pursued

Special Correspondence TO The In,eliqencer.
BELMONT, August 2.-Last night about
10 o'clock Belmont was startled once
more by flash and bang, and it was
seen that fire had once more struck the
oil. The Emory Oil Company during
the day had shot its we'll on the right OF
way near the railroad station, and tho
product ian up to over GOO barrels. The
oilfrom this well WAS running into tanks
on Johnston & Brockunier's lease on
the Singleton flats, near the river.
The pipe line had fire in its boiler ready
to pump oil from these tanks into it's
line. The gas and the furnace fire got
together and destroyed seven $50 barrel
tanks with their contents. The loss is
about $1,000. Fortunately the wind
favored the town and the Island, or not
q tank would have been left.
The Acre.and.a.I Half Oil Company has
the tubing on the ground for it's well,
which is doing better than was at first
expected.
