THE LATE CHARLES BRADLAUGH,
The Position He Took in Relation to wo-
man Suffrage.

N~ N7-N,'" 40 AppN III tseiatlOn To WO-
man Suffrage.
A recent issue of the Chicago Inter Ocean
contained the last letter written by its spe-
cial correspondent, the late Charles Brad
laugh. The Woman's Tribune, In an article
devoted to this letter, says:
Its devoted toa review of the progress and
present status of the woman's emancipation
movement in England. The ground taken
by the front opposition bench that woman
suffrage would put back liberalism ten wears.
Mr.. Bradlaugh considered refuted by the re-
suits of county council elections in which
women have voted and been elected. He
said:
Tremendous strides have been taken in
recognition of the principle of woman suf-
frage during the present century. Women
vote for parochial officers, women vote for
municipal officers, women vote in the cleo
tlon OF, and as, members of school boards,

EARTH GROWTH"
Professor Johnson's Lecture at Coope
Medical College.

Professor Johnson's Lecture at Cooper
Medical College.
In view of the unfavorable atmospheric
conditions last night the size of the audi
ence at the Cooper Medical College to hear
the seventh in the Lane course of popular
free lectures must be considered compli-
mentary to Professor w D. Johnston, NJ. D.,
whose subject was Earth Growth"
The lecturer stated that the earth was
originally nebulous mass. Modern physics
have demonstrated that there is no such
thing as rest in nature. The most solid
bodies, apparently, are composed of minute
particles, called molecules, which revolve in
constant motion, and the neOulOuS mass
from which the earth was deYeloDed was
originally endowed with minute motion.
Professor Johnston then explained the
consultations and planetary nebulR, with
the theory that all bodies were developed
from ether. The more important theories
of astronomic mathematician were referred
to and illustrated by stereopticon views,
with an explanation of the rotation of the
solar system.
Passing to cons liberation Of the earth's
crust the audience was shown, by means of
the canvas, the erroneous suggestions and
the correct concept on of the strata, and the
disturbances at each of the four successive
geological periods.
The North Am ercan system of rocks was
then considered and prOfusely illustrated.
The gradual changes in the earth's surface,
the comparative relations of land an d water
and the first appearance of vegetable life
we're dellneated III a graphic and intere ST.
ing manner.
In concluding, Professor Johnston indi-
Gated the ultimate fate of the earth. "On
the dead and barren face of our moon" he
said, I'VE may read picture of the desola-
ton that millions of years hence will over
take our earth, our giant planets and tho

RELIEVED OF HIS FARES.
Two Robbers Clean Out q Driver on HI
Car PIatform

Two Robbers Clean Out a Driver on His
Car Platform.
Another attempt by robbers was made
last evening to relieve a car-driver of his
accumulated fares, and this time it is
Folsom street car that was spotted" About
8 o'clock Car reached Seventh street.
There was no one in the car, but besides the
driver there were two men on the trout
platform, who had boarded it about Sixth
street
Where's Kelly tonight" one of them
asked the driver.
He had never heard of Kelly, and said so,
but while explaining that Kelly was man
formerly employed on the road, the robber
on the right side seized the money box at
the door. The driver noticed the move
ment and reached for his switch hook to
hit him with it. but before he could free it
from the dashboard the man on the left laid
hands on his watch, and both left the car
with their booty. There is so far no clew
to the adept operators, though last nights
robbery is the fourth of series perpetrated
evidently by the same men during the past
month.
