annual convention. The interest and
the high character Of these gatherings OF
Americas grsndest and noblest women
increases every year. The next Conven-
tion will be held at Atlanta, Go. The
southern delegates reported much ssnti"
ment favorable to Womsn's enfrRnchiss-
ment all through their section Of the
country. All that is needed is organi-
zStion to crystslize this sentiment and
to bring the south into line with the
north on this great question Of justice
and right. One evening Of the convention
was given to rejoicing over Colorado.
Representatives Bell and Pence, and
Senators Teller and Carey were present
and spoke. On the last evening Of the
convention special attention was given
to Kansas.
All Of our Kansas congressman were
invited to be present. Senator Poffer,
Representatives Brodsrick, Davis and
Simpson responded to the invitation.
The remainder of our congressman re-
ceived their invitations too late to can
Gel previous engagements. Those who
were present made appropriate remarks
in response to Susan B. Anthony's

our Kansas men.

Mr.. Davis made fine, logical speech
and demonstrated, by his interest in our
cause, the fact that public sentiment in
Kansas is favorable to the enfranchise-

Kansas was the dominant. topic dur

The New York Tribune of last Friday
had the following:
The fourth annual dinner of the Della

ware who live here turned out in good
numbers, and passed merry evening IN

have replied to the toast, The Press" was
unable to be present. II. II. Il. Stapler,
the new president of the society, made a
short address thanking the society for the
honor conferred upon him. After the
regular toasts had been replied to, II. Is.
Harper was called upon, and he made q
brief, interesting address.
DR.. Macarthur made one of the best
speeches of the evening. He said in part :
''ln the year 1900 there were only six cities
in the United States which had 5000
people. From 1850 to 1890 the increase of
the rural population was per cent and
that of the urban population 81 per cent.
The cities of the whole world were grow
| ing in the same ratio. Here in New York
we ought to cultivate greater degree OF
| civic PRIDE" said he. New York city is
America, as Paris is France, and Rome
| Italy. New Workers are lacking In civic
| pride. To bring about civic pride would
result in municipal reform. The political
boss is near his overthrow. We must re-
buke the indifference OF the sU-called bet
ter classes and develop more patriotic
spirit"

from Cecil, Kent. Queen Anne's aud Tai
bot counties were before the ways and
neans committee in the interest of the
Elkton e. Southern railroad. Bernard
Carter, representing the Pennsylvania rail
road, appeared in opposition to this meas

route, which, he claimed, will serve the
same purpose.
John $. Writ made the first statement
for the Elkton e. Southern. lie said TINT
If the bill was passed and the $4,000 be-
longing to Cecil county was diverted to the
new project, he could guarantee that
abundant capital will be furnished and the
road built within Is months. While Mr..
Writ did not say So, il was generally
understood that the D. & o. Company will
give the Elkton e. Southern substantial
support. This statement was indOrsei aud
practically. confirmed by George Bidde,
also of Cecil.
Mr.. Westcott Of Kent. said the people of
his section wanted the Elkton 4 Southern
road because 1t will not only in time afford
trunk line down the whole Maryland
Peninsula, but will also give the residents
OF that section direct communication to
Baltimore for their produce instead of
having 1t all diverted to Philadelphia, as
is now done by the Pennsylvania road,
which controls the railroads on the Eastern
Shore. This view was taken by John i.
Brown of Queen Anue's and others.
In opposition Mr.. Carter said that as this

it away at this time. Especially is this so.

The Astounding Assertion That Com
verified President Lincoln to the Wishes
of Delegation.
The Douglas county Noes, COL, tells
the following story of Ex-Governor Gill
pin of Colorado, who was born here !:
Since the death of Ex-Governor Gilpin
many anecdotes of his earlier life and
experience have come to light, among
which is the following regarding the
manner in which President Lincoln was
induced to appoint him governor of the
territory of Colorado. 1t illustrates not
only the ready wit of Gilpin's friend
and political adviser, Frank p. Blair of
Missouri, but the appreciation Of it by
President Lincoln. One day General
Blair called upon President Lincoln to
urge Gilpin for the place. He was in
particularly eloquent mood and after
reciling Gilpin's services in the Semi
mole war and his assistance to Fremont,
the western pathfinder, he said:
"Mr. President, Billy Gilpin has done
more for that section of the country
tColorado) than any man now living,
Why, Mr.. President, Billy Gilpin built
Pixies Peak"
Lincoln looked the Missourian in the
face, his eyes betraying that keen relish
of humor for which he was noted.
That is strong statement, Mr..
Blair" he said, with affected gravity.
"If knew that to be true | think
should appoint him. Can you furnish
me any proof of it."
ayes, SIR" said the undaunted Mis-
sourian, ~ saw him do it,"
That same day Gilpin was named
as governor of Colorado.
