Kate FicId,s sucreatIons.

When women take an active interest
in public affairs, they i'll nearly all cases
make it very plain that they do it as
women. They never claim that they are
acting as citizens, and their campaign
is conducted in all the delightful envi-
ronment Of femininity.
Often when women hold meetings in
the interest of equal suffrage, or clean
government, or whatever it may be,
only women are invited. This is usually
found Il very satisfactory plan. Such
meetings are held III the forenoon or
shortly after lunch, when they will not
conflict with customary social duties.
Women can more readily come at such
times. OF course it is out Of tho lues-
tion for mon to attend.
When masculine interest is to be en-
listed in & cause, meetings must be held
in the evening Even then they usually

aeauule more of the form of social
function than they do of a political gath
ering such as men arc accustomed to. II
their interest is excited it is due more
to spirit Of gallantry than to convic-
ton.
While these social political functions
may have their place, it is highly prob
able that more would be accomplished
If women would go to meetings Of men
rathor than by longer continuing to try
to get men to attend meetings of women.
Before thing can be elevated it must
be understood, and men by actual prac-
tioe and participation know more of
public matters than their sisters. Their
gatherings, then, in a limited way arc
founts of political knowledge.
If women would but attend public
meetings as spectators, their elevating
influence would be felt to n surprising
extent. Men would find themselves
working in purer atmosphere, and
there would bc less chance of their prin-
ciples becoming befoggod by self inter-
est. This in itself would be an accom-
plishlnent worth effort. Furthermore,
if women thus made ocular demonstra-
tion of their intelligent interest in po-
litical matters, men would sooner under
stand and consider the question of equal
suffrage.
AS long as women flock by themselves
they can exert littlo influence over af-
fairs of state. It may be remarked that
men, almost without exception, would
welcome women at their political gath
erings. Kate Fields Washington.

the ''bricfly" clause CT it, never was in

with young English actor, had become
insane and committed suicide. This had
so disastrous an effect on the mind of
Bebe as to impair her mental faculties.
She was placed in private asylum in

land, and with her sisters photograph
in her possession had resolved ON hunt
ing down her old lover.
She had only been in England ten
days, during which time she had resided
a week at the Hotel Victoria

but her eccentricities had not escaped
notice. and it was during her absence
that tho proprietor of the hotel -

tridges to be withdrawn from the revolv-

saved my life. On retiring for the night
he had overheard the alteration and
promptly communicated with the po-
lice, who had just received visit from
the keepers in connection with Bebe. 1t

Bifurcation and EmancIpatlon,

Much conversation and discussion has
burst out since the silly season on the
subject Of women's Combinations. 1t
is quite diverting to observe how seri-
ously some persons treat the "knicker"
question as though it were one on which
hung all mortal hopes of evolutions.
That bifurcated garment and emanci-
patton should be bracketed together in
the argument is perfectly absurd.
Who could be less emancipated, more
under male dominion, than the Moham-
medan woman? Yet she is often to be
seen veiled and in tight trousers (not
the loose flowing ones affected in Tur-
key bestriding pony. Bestriding. let

or masculine tendencies.
Though not an adrairer of male attire

ness must own to an admiration for
those ladies whose genuine love Of sport
overrides the vice Of vanity and leads
them to prefer suitable garb for their

that the unattached woman taking up a
manly exercise should be trammeled in
mastering the accomplishment by the
restrictions of fashion.

An Arizona Gave.

Prof. E. NJ. Lamson and Ralpl
 Sparks returned yesterday from {
 months outing in the Mogollons and along the road from Camp Verde tt Prescott and thence home. The tril was one purely of recreation and sight. seeing. They saw deer, but did Doi try to kill them, and myriads of fish which they did not try to catch.
 They discovered something more i'm. portant than either, They discovered cave of unknown dimensions. Be- tween Montezuma Wells and Rattle snake Spring they accidentally came upon q hole in the center, or more properly at the bottom, of bowl shaped depression which might once have been the crater of volcano. The professor let MT. Sparks down into the hole by meaus of a thirty-foot rope. The explorer found himself in large and irregular shaped chamber which seemed to have three outlets, or rather three extensions. He pursued one of them through narrow opening through which he crawled on his hands and knees. He was now in a large chamber or tunnel, the width of which varied from ten to forty feet, the height in places being not less than thirty feet. His only means of illumi- nation was candle. He proceeded in a straight line for half au hour. The chamber seemed to grow bigger as he advanced, and the walls glistened with water crystals and other ornamcnta- ton of aqueous formation. He reluc- tautly retraced his steps to the en- trance, determined at some time to complete the exploration. He ob- served that the air in the cave was per fectly pure and by the flaming of the candle toward the entrance, that there was draft, indicating another en- trance, which might have been score of miles distant.
