drill was accordingly instituted and
kept up during the winter. 1t was so
successful that the idea spread to other
Glasgow Sunday schools and then TO
England, Ireland, Canada, the United
States and elsewhere.
The first American company was or
ganized in San Francisco in 1889, and
the national headquarters are in that
city. Then companies were formed in
the central and eastern states, and these
sections now have their own divisions,
each with its executive officers. There
are already more than 200 companies, and
new ones are being enrolled every day
The brigade is wholly undcnomina-
tional, and organization is simple. Each
company is connected with church, and
all members must belong TO a Sunday
school The captain and leutenants are
appointed by the school authorities. and
the boys elect scrgeants and corporals.
The regulation uniform is a blue blouse,
blue trousers and blue cap, but some Of
the companies have adopted the West
Point cadet gray.
Many of the companies use dummy
rifles at the start, bnt the boys prefer
the real thing, and regular army guns
are being rapidly adopted. There is a
weekly military drill, and some Of the
companies 60 OF into tho country in tho

A KANSAS CAMPAIGN.
THE BATTLE FOR UNIVERSAL SUF-
FRAGE HAS BEGUN.

Mrs. Lease and Mrs. Johns Take Up the
Work Inaugurated by Susan II. Anthony
Twenty-Five Years Ago-How Woman
Suffrage Works In Wyoming.
Twenty-Five years ago or thereabouts
there was a campaign in Kansas which
excited some, amused many and inter
ested all. Susan b. Anthony, Lizzie
Cady Stanton and George Francis Train
"stumped' the state in favor Of woman
suffrage. Theodore Tilton, in The hide
pendent, warmly indOrsed tie measure.
Henry Ward Beecher spoke u few words
in favor Of the amendment. Victoria
Woodruff gave it her countenance. and
as soon as she gained fame enough TO be
listened towrote able articles in its favor.
The workman dies, but the work goes
on. AT the election, for which the above
mentioned campaign was preparation,
it appeared that no more than one-fifth
Of the voters Of Kansas really and ear
nestly favored giving the ballot to wom-
an. Now another campaign is in prog
ress, with the eloquent Mary Ellen Lease
and the shrewd Laura NJ. Johns as the
principal local advocates of woman suf-
trage, and the chances are at least even
that the voters viii give it a majority.
In the meantime many things have hap
pened. Kansas women first obtained
vote in school meetings and next in mu-
nicipal elections. For various reasons
this latter privilege was greatly ignored
till the spring elections Of the present
year. Then the women exerted them
selves all Of n sudden, so to speak, and
revolutionized several municipalities.
Several other things have happened
since the memorable campaign Of 1s67-s.
Wyoming established universal suf-
frage early in 1870 and has unninching-
ly maintained it for 90 years. Utah
adopted it soon after, but it was so obvi-
ously mormon trick" (the Mormon
women voting just as the priesthood
directed) that congress finally abolished
it. Washington territory, now state.
adopted woman suffrage, but finally
abolished it. Other states permit a
qualified suffrage on such minor issues
as schools and liquor licenses,
Kansas has therefore deal of ex-
perience to draw upon, but apparently
the verdicts upon that experience are as
diverse as ever. AS TO Utah, no well in
formed person expected anything. That

hall and the railway station and the
other at the east end of Midway plat
sance The main hospital has wards
for men, each containing 10 beds, and
wards for women, one Of 10 beds and
the other Of 3. The subhospitaIs have 3
and beds each for men and the same
number for women.
On the main floor of the hospital be-
sides the wards there are offices for the
medical director, the resident physician
and the superintendent ofnurses, drug
room, operating rooms, diet kitchen,
linen and clothes closets, a reception
room and two waiting rooms-one for
men and one for women. Up stairs there
are dormitories for physicians and
nurses. There are two resident physi-
clans at the hospital, corps of attend
ing physicians, especially selected for
their experience and fitness, a hospital
steward, druggists, orderlies for stretch
CT work and corps of trained nurses.
The ambulance service is very COM
plete and efficient, including four wag-
Ons and an electric launch which pa
trolls the lagoons. Two Of the ambu-
lances are stationed near the main hos
pital and one near each Of the substa-
tons. There are about 30 invalid chairs
also available for transporting patients
TO boat, hospital or station. and about
100 stretchers scattered about the vari-
Gus buildings, all plainly marked.
No patient is permitted to remain in
the hospital over night. As soon as DOS
sible after their cases are attended to
they are conveyed TO their homes or else
where, as they or their friends direct.
The service is entirely free, but is in no
sense an exhibit, though its methods are
certainly instructive. Besides caring
for the sick and injured, the bureau has
charge of all sanitary matters about the
grounds.

everything just as it was before, only
little more So" Government statistics
show the usual proportion Of saloons.
The papers record the usual number of
murders, with the variations Of Chi
nese massacre at Rawlins Springs and a
civil war between cattlemen and rus
tiers"
Nevertheless the legislature from time
to time resolves that woman's suffrage
is a marvellous success, and only few
weeks ago it officially declared that
Wyoming was the best commonwealth
in the world and urged all the older
states TO go at once and do likewise
Governor Osborne Endorsed this and in
a circular letter declared that there is
not a poorhouse in the state, that the
general standard OF conduct is wonder
fully high and that there is little or no
crime except that committed by persons
passing through the state.
Armed, as aforesaid, with all this ex-
perience, the ladies bore down on the
bilingual. multibrancheate and altogeth-
er dolichocephalic Kansas legislature of
last winter. Mrs Laura M. Johns, presi-
dent of the Kansas Equal Suffrage asso-
citation, took charge Of the Republicans
and Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease Of the Pop
ulists and Democrats, each acting with
her own political party, as it were
Through all those stormy times Mrs
Johns went and came amid the contend
ing hosts like heroic sister of charity
on the battlefield, and when the Repub-
Leans were shut up all night with militia
around the building, she enlivened the
proceedings at o'clock in the morning
by a speech in favor Of woman suffrage.
Mrs. Lease worked in a somewhat diff
ferent way with her party, and the net
result was that the legislature-both leg

It is admitted that women bore an i'm

leagues, and 80 Mrs. Lease counts ON that
party.
SO much has been said of Mrs. Lease
that is not strictly true that the main
facts should be recalled. She was born
In Ireland about 40 years ago and inner
tied more than the average share Of Irish
eloquence, but considerably less Of Irish
geniality. With her family she came in
early life to America. and her father and
two brothers lost their lives in the war
for the Union. She married and located
In Kansas, where with her husband and
children she endured at least the aver
age hardshipsof pioneering. She studied
law, was admitted TO the bar, began the
practice in Wichita and all at once gained
q national reputation as an orator. The
rest is known. Mrs. Johns is also a wife
and mother, equally earnest with Mrs.
Lease, but in quite different way.
