OF government to abridge such rights on ac-
count of sex. Mrs. Stanton ia a woman of pow
erful intellect, and as an advocate is second to
no man in the House.
The new members of the committee were ap-
parently surprised at receiving such a talk
from q woman, and there WAS the most marked
attention on the part of every one present
The eurprise OF the new members was still
greater when they found that Mrs. Stanton was
not phenomenal exception. but that all the
women there could make an argument that
would do credit to the best Of public men.
Mrs. Stanton was followed by Lucy Stone,
Mrs. Hooker and Miss Anthony, all of whom
where listened to with marked attention.
Religious Services Yesterday.
The convention OF the National American
Woman Suffrage Association was opened yes
terday afternoon with religious service at the
Church Of Our Father. The preacher was Rev.
Mia F. Upper, and her assistant in the serv-
ice was Rev. Anna II. Shaw, who offered the
opening prayer. The congregation was a large
Law of Success" and Rev. Mia F. Upper took
for her text the line, Think on These Things"
She said that in striving for success there was
always an ideal for which efforts are put forth,
and even if these ideals in the end are not at
tanned, at least we have the satisfaction Of hav-
ing done the best We could to reach them, and
that endeavor has made us better and strodger
The power to be completely successful does not
always lie in our ourselves.
The belief Of ones friends is q help toward
success. Some day there viii be no such thing
as countenancing sins in men, just because they
are men, that would not be tolerated in women.

BOOKS FREE TO ALL.
Growing Popularity of the
City's Public Library.
VISITED BY ALL CLASSES.
Magazines Largely Read by the People
ut Large-Number of Visitors
Daily Increasing.

The Seattle public library deseryedly
continues to grow in popularity. The
reading-room is always filled during the
afternoon, and the number applying for
permission to draw out books is increasing
day by day. Some 1850 permits have al
ready been issued, and the average number
of books taken out each day is DO. On
Saturday a week ago 1863 books were taken
out, and ON the Saturday before that 3l9.
The number probably approached closely
to 400 yesterday. Something Of the popu-
larity of the different sorts of books is
shown by the following summary
of the volumes loaned to adults during
February: Philosophy, %; religion, 81;
sociology, As; philology, 1; science, "a USE
full arts, SO; fine arts, 43; literature, 279;
fiction, 3,026; history, 1876; biography, 1856;
travels, 30l. Fiction is heavily in the
lead, followed at a long interval by tray
els, literature, history and biography.
Among the juvenile books ranking highest
in popularity are first those of fiction and
second those of travel. The juvenile
fiction, however, includes many works
OF travel and science, like the Rollo books
of blessed memory. 1t is melancholy
fact that the volumes written by Oliver
Optic, portraying the glorious careers
of preternaturally smart little boys,
are still read with deepest interest
by the lads of today. The ir-
descent and impossible adventures of
Bobby Bright and all the rest of the young
prigs who figure as heroes in the Optic
tales, yet furnish Seattle's rising genera
ton with false ideals of life.
Mark Twain holds his own as prime
favorite, and also high in honor are Mrs.
Humphrey Wards essays on religion,
thinly and often inartisticalIy disguised
with the cloak of fiction. Thackeray and
Dickens are still called for, says Librarian
Smoke, but the novel of today is more
popular. New times demand new au-
thors, and the king of English novel
writers yields his crown to pretenders who,
by such books as Looking Backward"
have ''added q new horror to the accom-
plishment of reading"
AT present the library numbers 71Sq
volumes. and most of the current periodi-
Gals. When the original list of purchases
was made out the commission anticipated
larger revenue than it now has. When
the income began to fall off on account of
the smaller number of fines in the city
court, the buying stopped; and the collec-
ton is consequently poorly balanced. So
soon as money is forthcoming the depart
ments of science. history, travels, religion
and the useful arts will receive valuable
additions, and duplicates of the more
popular works of fiction will also be pur-
chased.

the captain makes his puny effort to DIS garage
vessel which from the fact that thcy supply
the cheapest transportation, will, in trades
where they are brought into competition with
English tramp steamers, prove that Yankee IN
genuity is more than match for the cheap
labor. material and low operating cost OF foreign
vessels.
The assertion that cheapest transpo .tation is
furnished by large sailing vessels, providing
they get steamer dispatch, is that the largest
consumers of coal on this Coast show by every
day action that their experience is otherwise.
In conclusion we would recommend the cap
tain to use his talents in some more useful &C
cupation than in endeavoring to belittle the
whalebaeks. They are here to stay, end with
the facilities they afford to Puget sound coal
shippers to set their products to the markets of
the Pacific coast at freights that cannot be
beaten by the English tramp steamer running
from our neighboring British Columbia ports,

OF the state of Washington than any other
event that has transpired in the history of the
Coast.
The owners of the whaleback having the
knowledge of success that their style OF vessels
have made on the Great Lakes and Atlantic sea-
board, and recognizing the glorious future and
ooundless resources of the great state of Wash
ington, have Brought an iron shp-building
plant to the Sound, which is now in course of
erection and within a months time the keel of
he first iron vessel to be built on Puget sound
will be laid at their yard at Everett, afording
employment to large number of good citizens,
and the forerunner OF a fleet that will not only
convey coal to Californian ports, but lumber to
Australia and South America and wheat to
Europe, The prosaic sentiment of the captain
about the glorious American merchant marine
will receive a reviver and while it might not be
so romantic as tall aud stately masts and flow
ing sheets, it is tribute to the resources of

BRITISH ON SILVER.
England Much Concerned Over the
Bland Bill Delay.

Bland Bill Delay.
New York, March 27.-The Hernlds
London correspondent cables that paper
that shelving the Bland silver bill by Con-
gress is greater blow than the people on
that side care to admit. True, they never
believed unreservedly in Its success, but
had much hope, and now the difficulties
OF the silver question are beginning to be
appreciated. No one cares to express any
definite opinion in regard to the future,
even the best informed being altogether
bewildered. The greatest dealer in silver
said to me today:
cannot tell you anything about the future of
silver. We suppose things will just drift for
while. The demand for the metal is small and
not likely to increase much, while the supplies
strange to say, do not fall OFF, despite the fact
that the price is now at the lowest point of
record. dull pessimism has begotten all the
facts of the position and held him completely in
its power.
Nor did one of the leading English econ
omists, with whom / had conversation on
the subject. feel differently. But feeling
prevails that some action will soon become
necessary if the United States do not
adopt free coinage. This, although re-
garded as prejudicial to the United States,
is acknowledged to be of immense value
to India.

ALBANY, Australia, March 27.-Deem-

where he is to embark for Melbourne, was
notable for series exciting scenes. Fran

the end of the journey and was transferred
to Jail quietly, but had another fit during
the night.
