the case is the most phenomenal on
record.
Mrs. Brown made frantic efforts
to leap from the courtroom window,
and it took all the strength of Officer
Heath and Detective Tebeau to pre-
vent her. 1t is not believed she can
long survive the shock.
Mrs. Brown became so bad that she
was sent to the Dispensary. There
DR.. Fitzpatrick examined her and
forwarded her to the city hospital.
She imagines herself bird, and
fears are entertained that she may do
herself some injury. She lives with
her mother at 923 North High street.
She has been in St. Vincent's
asylum before as result of her hus-
bands brutality.-St. Louis Chroni-

The Lord had created them equal;
The law had decided them so.
She came with her hard-won ballot ;
He challenged her right to throw
In the fate of a needy nation
A vote all contaminate
With the loss of her womanly virtue.
His look bore deadly hate.
OF the vileness so plainly apparent
In the face of the woman upturned
Who staunchly approached the chal-
lenger,
While her eyes with fury burned;
"You dare refuse to allow" said she,
"Me to cast my ballot, too 7"
"Clear the way clear the way -
cried heavy voice.
IL say, clear the way let us thro'!'
Arm in arm they came, two gentle
The foremost casting his vote,
While his comrade passed a moment
The names on the ticket to note;
Then lesuirely, camly folding it,
Attempted to cast it in,
When the woman's hand caught and
and hurled it
Afar to the merciless wind.
"Hold % she cried "nor dare you
cast it

Are you purer, or truer, or worthler,
sir?
All! behold the bravado smile
That illumines his pulling face, slrs !!
Look, you who deny me my due
Hang your head, execrable imposter,
While tell them fell for YOU.
"Noble Judge, will trample my bal
lot
Under my feet when you vow
You will challenge for every woman
The man who brought her low
For, sir, never yet was woman
Bereft of her virtue, her tame,
Her honor, her God-given heritage,
But MAN was bereft of the same"
The judge heard the cry of the
nation
equal rights equal rights - its
plea.
"Cast your ballot ~ he cried to the
woman
"While bend to you the knee,
For truly, indeed, have you spoken
Brothers, deny if you can
That to purify our politics
We must purify FIRST the MAN"

A Horrible Story ola Husbands
Brutality.

These words, shrieked by poor
Mrs. Annie Brown, in the court OF
criminal correction this morning,
preceded one of the most thrilling
scenes that the court attaches and

seized with fit, and writhed shrek

Her attorney, Charles Smythe,
picked Mrs. Brown up and, assisted
by Detectives Walsh and Tebeau,
carried her to an ante-room, where
several women in the courtroom
were called, and restoratlves APP
piled.
When she had partially recovered
the poor little WI mans mind wan

the wrongs inflicted on her by her
brutal husband, Fred Brown, and
then she began singing hymns.
All present were visibly affected
and tears rolled down Smythe's
cheeks.
"Poor child" he said. THAT
villain has almost killed her now.
Why doesn't the court let him
finish?"
Some days ago Mrs. Brown swcre
out a warrant for assault and battery
against her husband. She told a
shocking story of the barbarous
treatment administered her by

crowded, and the young lady had without
doubt been unable to procure a seat in the

attract the notice of the young lady. He
talked shop to me for awhile, incidentally

position for acquiring thorough knowl-
edge of every branch of the dry goods bust

into the firm. He was thinking of getting
married and settling down if he could meet
his ideal. Then he went on to describe his
ideal, and he outlined the young lady just
ahead of us, winking craftily at me. Twas
certain she heard every word, but could
not tell if she was offended.
At length my loquacious companion
leaned close to me, lowering his voice to a
guarded tone as he said:
