Interesting Papers Folio " ed by Animated
Discussions.

Discussions.
The meeting of the Equal Suffrage
Club which was held at the home Of
Mrs. EagIesfield yesterday afternoon,
was we'll attended and interesting. A
very excellent paper prepared and read
by one of the membersgave broad views
III regard To the wages of the sexes for
equal work. The views expressed
brought forth varied opinions, but the
discussions proved that the members
were earnest thinkers. A brief outline
of the life and work of
that brilliant philauthropist, Mrs.
Ormiston Chant, of London, was gwen
and instances related showing her won
derful capabilities for doing good. Sen
ator Smiths speech IN opposition to the
Woman Suffrage bill was read verbatim
and was received with laughter. This
was followed by reading the fine delin-
cation of the traits and character as
given by the TELEGRAM-H OF Sen
ator Mines, who SO nobly chsmpioned
the bill. The sutfragists felt hattered
by the comparison.
A communication from Anna Shaw
was read announcing her probable visit
to Michigan again in October. A letter
from Florence Balgarnie stated that
she would probably be in Michigan in
June and would be pleased to make a
date with the club for 4 lecture i'll
Grand Rapids. An appeal to the club
TO assis. the w. Z. T. u. in entertain.
ing the convention next week, was gen.
erously responded to. The meeting
was adjourned for two weeks.
