Ballot in Hands of the Women Would Give
the Land o Solid Moral Foundation.

A large audience was present at the Gen.
trail Christian Church, last night. called
out by the announcement that Mrs. Zerel-
da @. Wallace would deliver lecture.
Mrs. Wallace talked for more than an hour,
her subject being "The Nations Need
of Woman's acknowledgements" She i'm
pressed the fact upon her hearers that
1omans suffrage was the one thing needed
to give Us o perfect government. and that
without the vote of the women of the land
man must not expect q harmonious condi-
ton of Affairs. She asserted that there
could not be republic without the voice
Of women. God gave it to woman that she
should have dominion over the work of
His hands as well as to men. Twenty five
per cent. of the teachers of the land, she
said. are women, for she Is the natural edu-
Gator and governor of the race. The best
men OF the country are under the influence
of q good mother and wife, who are pre-
eminently noble and high IN all things.
From the beginning. she said, woman was
promised equal rights with men. If tie
woman bad ballot. argued the speaker
there would not be In this country twenty
thousand schools of vice. and the govern
ment would have a moral power back of it
which would be IDvutnerable. The gen.
tlemen claim that the ladies shouldn't
mingle in the dirty pool of politics, but
give her q ballot and the elimination OF
this dirt would be rapid and sure: Woman
il necessary in every thiDg-she 10 In
dispensable. and it is only in
her that the world has hope. Mrs. Wal
lace related many amusing and humorous
incidents which served 20 strengthen. In
the minds of the ladies present, that her
theory of tbe worlds salvation is O true
one. She closed with the appeal to every
woman osthrow Oft the apathy that ia
keeping her back, and stand forth for her
lust and inaliens BILE rights.
After Mrs. Wallsce's remarks DR.. Lucas
arose. and In a few words expressed his con-
currence in all that had been said con Guiding
es follows: Il believe tn at II the women OF
Indianapolis had. years ago. been granted

Miss YOuel, Cashier Acme Laundry, Assaulted
and Robbed as She Was Going Home.

Miss Emma +. Youel, young lady who
is cashier for the Acme laundry, on Ohio
street, was the victim last night of a foot
pad as she was on her way home from the
Office, on Ohio street, near Meridian, to her
home at No. 20 East Ohio street The distance
being short, she said she was not afraid to
walk it alone. though it was not her won't
SO to do. Her brother. she says. has hither-
to accompanied her. because. as cashier of
the laundry. it is her duty to take care of
the money which comes in after banking
hours. 1t happened that last night was
the first time she was not sc accompanied.
and as she reached the Wyandor Block
she was made aware for the first time that
some one was following her. As
building che heard some one running
up behind her. and, before she could act.
the fellow seized her by the arm and
whirled her around. saying es he did so.
'How are your Instantly he grabbed the
box in her hand. In which she was carrying
the money. She sent forth q scream cred
itable. il was said by those who heard 1t,

hold on the box. The footpad. however,
was persistent, and wrenched tho box
away from her, but not before it was par

ran Oft as fast as his legs
could carry him, having the box and part
of the money. He ran down Pennsylvanla

and instead OF pursuing the thief they
began to assist Miss Youel in picking up
the money, which was lying scattered on
the ground. light was brought and by
the aid of the crowd. about Sl2 was re-
covered. Miss YOuel said that she thought
she had about SIS in the box. but could not
tell positively until she could examine her
books at the office this morning.
When the ruffian seized her arm and
jerked her around, she caught a glimpse of
his face and figure, and says she beliey es
she could recognize him, If she were again
to see him. After the adventure she re-
called that about two weeks ago she saw
just such q looking fellow watching her
one night as she was counting up the cash
preparatory TO closing mp. The thief was
ayouDg man and wore q short sack coat, no
overcoat and had on O cap drawn down
over his eyes. He was less than the mo-
dunn height. Miss Youel thinks he was one
of three young men whom she saw in the
stair doorway of the Marion block as she
passed. They were whistlinG and dancing,
causing her 70 pay no attention to them.
