Women Battling for the Ballot.

An extraordinary movement is being
conducted by prominent women Of New
York. It is movement in behalf Of the
ballot for women of that state. A consti-
/ tutional convention will assemble at Al
bany next Tuesday, and the effort Of the
women is to have the word male" left
/ out of the new organic law that will be
/ framed by that body, thus extending the
| elective franchise to women.
/ The movement is being conducted with
! great earnestness and skill. The purpose
is to send petition, containing 100000
/ signatures, to the convention asking that
women be given the right TO vote. Meet
/ ings are being held, speeches made, litera-
ture on the question at issue is circulated,
and every other method likely to affect
public sentiment is being adopted to &C
complish the object the women have in
view.
The women engaged in this movement
are among the most prominent in the
state. They are the wives and daughters
Of the millionaires, leading lawyers,
preachers, teachers and business men.
They have secured to their petitions the
names Of many of the best known men.
Not all the women want the right to
vote, however. A counter movement has
been started by women who think that it
is better for the community that women
devote their energies to the more efficient
performance of their present work than
to divert them to new fields of activity
These opponents of woman suffrage are
also active in getting up petitions. The
agitation is being conducted with so
much enthusiasm and energy that men
are given little peace until they sign the
petition of one or the other of the fac
tons
There is chance that those seeking
suffrage will be successful There has
been a most remarkable change of senti-
ment in respect to this matter in recent
years. A very large percentage of women
are Low property holders and tax payers,
and it would seem as if it were but just
that they should have d voice in. choosing
those who levy and disburse the taxes
Besides, there is a growing tendency
among women to be more independent
They are entering the professions and all
the various occupations of life, and they
are meeting with great success. Not so
much as they once did are they looking
forward to marriage for settlement in
life
In about half of the states and terri
tories women have the suffrage now to a
greater or less extent, and in Wyoming
they vote at all the elections. The ex-
perience in that state is that women are
none the less domestic in their habits be-
cause of their right to vote.
If women should be given the elective
franchise in New York it would not be
long before they would have it in about
all the other states. particularly if it
should prove to be productive of good re-
suits. But would it likely be productive
of good results in large cities' No salts
factory answer can be given to that ques-
ton. The women who are opposing suf-
frage for their sex may be far wiser than
those who are demanding it.

Concerns all the Smiths.

- A suggestion of the first magnitude that
has the attention of the Atlanta Journal,
the Hon. Hoke Smiths newspaper, is the
building of great Smith House at At
lanta and the formation of all themem-
bers of the Smith family, wherever they
may reside, into one stupendous club.
Capt. Jack Smith is the originator of the
scheme. and proposes to donate a $4,000
building site and pay the dues of at least
one hundred Smiths who may not be able
to foot the bills themselves.
From what we have been able to gather
concerning the scheme of the club, it is
to be founded on the solid rock of pure
democracy. The club is to be of the
Smiths, for the Smiths and by the Smiths.
The majority is to govern in all things,
and the only qualification necessary to
membership and all the privileges of the
institution will be the name of Smith and
fee of 81. The Smythes, and Schmids,
and Schmitts, and all others the spelling
of whose Smith varies from the recog-
nized standard because of the require
ments of the language of their nationality,
will be admitted to the fraternal union.
The Johns, and Jameses, and Williams
may be classified into various sub-divis-
ions in future, but the present purpose is
to amalgamate those who are Smiths by
blood or affinity for social and other pur-
poses of mutually benefcent character.
The Smith House, as we understand
it, is to contain all the comforts of home
all the advantages of a club and all the
conveniences of the hotel. 1t is to con-
tain a ballroom for the Smiths who
dance, a music room for the Smiths who
sing, chapel for the Smiths who are
disposed toward ecclesiastics, bar for
the bibulous Smiths, library for the
book-loving Smiths, etc. 1t is to be built
of wood and stones from every section of
the earth, contributed by the Smiths.
The rock upon which Capt. John Smiths,
head was placed at the time Pocahontas
seized the opportunity and made herself
famous, may be secured as the corner
stone, and special positions in the archi-
lecture are to be given to materials from
Smith county, Smithville, Smiths Cross
Roads, and places with kindred names.
For it is to be kindred establishment
from the ground up.
One great difficulty about the plan
however, is the suggested location of the
headquarters. The great and honorable
Smith family is more extensive than the
English language, and is very likely also
wider diffused than the Christian reli-
gion. There are Smiths wherever the
sun shines, and it is extremely probable
that they are to be found wherever Ian
guage is spoken. Obviously, then, At
lanta would not be convenient spot for
the majority of the Smiths; and unless
the club should be planted in the place
most convenient for them all, the club
would fail of Its highest aim The
only way to strike it Just right
for the Smiths would be to find the center
of population of the earth and build the
club house there.

car.fare-around the world"
A Story of Paranini.

The efforts made by society people to pay

The infinite insoience and conceit in the
point of view which permits g, fashionable
woman to ask d man like Jean de Reszke or
Emma Eames to dinner and to a casual ac-
qualntance with the familiars Of the hostess,
on the suppOsition that such familiarity
Justihes her in asking artists to do some
thing" in the drawing room afterward. is
really possible only In community OF the
most primitive sort. If New York society
could hear itself discussed behind the curtain
of the Metropolitan opera house andAbbey' S
theater it might be shocked; but it would do
good. This sort of thing has been going on
ever since society tried to take advantage OF
the artistic wocld, without paying for it, and
recalls a story OF the celebrated violinist,
string-the silver string of the violin. A
great lady in London said to him;
There Is no other man in the world but
you, signor, who could play solo on one
string. When you use the four you transport
US to Paradise When you use but one, YOU

Made Oars-gare OF IT.

The ways of the New York broker are art
full aud his eyes are always open for on op-
portunlty, says the New York Tribune.
When he has a chance to make a good bar
gain he dosen't let grass grow under his
feet.
The head Of a steamship company recently
said TO Wall Street broker:
-. 1 wish could get certain pier privilege;
Well why don't you go and get it," asked
'Ican't seem to get hold Of IT.
The pier business said the broker. isn't
IN my line; but how much would you give me
for this privilege If get it,
IN give you $1,000 a month for year.
The broker said he would see what he
could DO. The pier was owned by Phtla
delphla man, and the next afternoon the
man from Wall Street walked into the office
OF the pier owner in Philadelphia
i want you TO buy some bonds he said.
4 don't want to buy anything was the
answer. I'm selling
But these are gilt-edged; you never saw
anything better

YOU I've got stores that 1 can't rent, bills
that can't collect. Why there pier over
IN your city that isn't doing what 1t ought to
do for me. A privilege there is Just begging

'Well,' said the broker. Il want to sell
you some OF these bonds. We might make q

."Wouidn you take them to get rid Of your

No; am carrying all want"
Well maybe I'll take your pier anyway.
How much do you want for it,:
Three thousand dollars a year"
The broker thought he might as we'll take
the privilege, even if they couldnt strike
bargain on bonds. The next morning he
went to the New York steamship man.
.! can get that pier Tor you for year" he
sold
AT what terms?"
Your own igures-sl2, 600 year"
The privilege was relet right then and there
the contract signed. and the broker was just
5000 better OF. A short time after this the
steamship man met the broker again.

'Car-fare,' answered the broker, unblush-

Grand Jury Presentmsntn.

The question, whether the present.
ments Of grand juries relative to county
affairs rece i've the attention they are en-
tiled to from the authorities, is not in
freqently asked. These presentments
cost the county considerable money in
the course Of year. Each grand jury
of the superior and city courts, through
their respective committees, investigate
the convict camps, the Jail, the condition
Of the public records, the drainage work
and the roads and bridges. They criti-
else whatever they find that deserves
criticism. and they make such recon-
mendations as seem to them to be wise.
Are their criticisms needed and their
suggestions adopted2 That is a question
that every citizen, who gives the atten-
tion he ought to public matters can an
swer.
The last presentment of the grand Jury
OF the city court synopsis of which was
published by the MORNING News yester-
day, contains some statements in respect
to the convicts that ought to receive the
attention of the county commissioners at
once. These charges, briefly, are that
the convicts are not supplied with proper
food, that their bedding is filthy that the
supply of water, while good in quality, is
insufficient in quantity, and that in one
of the camps sanitary conditions exists
that are not conducive to health.
All of the things of which complaint is
made could be remedied without any
great additional cost to the county. IT
seems to US that they are the result of
carelessness of those who are in immedi-
ate charge of the convicts, and not of in
territorial neglect of the authorities. 1t
is evident however, that it is necessary
for the authorities to keep close watch
upon the convict camps. The money that
is spent in supporting the convicts is suf-
| ticient to meet all the reasonable wants of
| persons in their position. 1t is the wish
of the people that the convicts shall have
wholesome food, clean beds, plenty OF
water and that their camps shall be kept
in sanitary condition. The grand Jury
does not seem to think they have these
! things. The county authorities should
! find out at once who is responsible fol-
their lack of them, and should make such
reforms as will leave future grand juries
no ground for making charges

Sweet Sixteen.

Samuel Minturn Peck in the Southern Mag
zine.
The starlight through the lattice vine
Fell slanting on her brow,
The roses white with dew a-shine
Swayed on the wind-rock bough,
And waved perfume quaint and fine
Like incense round her mouth,
Where dwelt mid curve and hue divine
The glamour of the South.
just sixteen years OF joys and fears
just sixteen years hath she,
But her eyes are blue,
And her heart is true
And she's all the world to me-
The rose tree hid the stars from me
But could watch her eyes;
They shone like stars upon the sea
Soft mirrored from the skies.
Her little hands upon her knees
In folded stiffness lay,
And in the dusk doomed winsomely
Like lilly buds astray.
Just sixteen years of joys and fears
Just sixteen years hath she,
But her faith is sure
And her soul is pure.
And she's all the world to me.
A silence fell; it seemed spell
Had fallen on my sweet;
! saw her qulvering bosom swell,
heard my heart abeat
spoke but what? Itannot tell,
/ hardly know the rest;
But Just before her tear-drops fell
clasped her to my breast.
Just sixteen years Of smiles and tears
Just sixteen years hath she,
But the wedding chimes
Win ring hetimes
For my little bride to be.

even to die for IL; but they will hold it against
the fanatic, the demagogue, and the anarchist
as they did against the tyrant, and the re-

If poor old "Billy" McGarrahan had been
a millionaire instead of a pauper claimant
he could not have had more impressive
funeral. 1t was impressive not for its
grandeur, but for the fact that senator's,
representatives, correspondents and other
prominent people paid him tribute of
genuine love and respect. There are few
rich men whose funerals are attended
because of the same sentiments that drew
a large attendance to Mr., McGarrahan's
funeral.
