PROTESTS FROM THE WOMEN.
Names Used Without Authority in Con-
nection with Equality Club.

Tt seems that all OF the persons whose
names were read at the formation of the
Equality Club. last Tuesday morning, are
not exactly in sympathy with the move
ment, and some of them would like to.pro-
test against their names being used with
out authority. In one family where three
members were mentioned as probable mem
beers OF the organization not one OF
them Is even In favor of woman suffrage.
These three believe that the time is not
ripe FOR any such action, particularly with
the country in the condition that " IS.
Others whose names appeared nave be-
come highly wroth that they should be
brought In connection with anything OF the
kind, and still others claim that they would
not know anything about such things as
the club expects TO undertake for any
thing. Woman suffrage is a disturbing sub
tect, and IL Is a risky business for one TO
publish names OF women whom she thinks
likely 20 Join such an organization without
first consulting the women whose names
abe proposes TO Use.

wounds were found. The first one was a
slight cut on the right wrist The second

very FER deep, on the left side or the ooa
The cut in the throat was the one that
was fatal. This was three inches long
and about two inches deep. 1t appeared
as if the wound had been made by p stro+e
from in the rear. The body was en-
balmed on the orders of the other men,
bers of the firm to which Thomas belonged.
and VINO had come to this city. Mr.. Lutte.
the father-in-law of Thomas, who resides
IN Muncie. came here also last evening.
The body was taken to Frankfort, KY,
on the 3 O'Clock morning train. 1t was ac-
cOmpanied by the members of the firm. ard
also by Mr.. Little. DIR. Marsee was called

as to the nature OF the wounds.

However, his selection was made only for
the present. L. II. Gedge. the president OF
the nail works company, together with the
other members, and also Mr.. Little, the
father-in-law of Thomas. held a short con-
sultation yesterday afternoon. In which II
was decided to leave the matter OF select

Congress from the Seventh district. IL Is
probable that Mr.. Elan will be retained.
The friends and relatives of Thomas are

of them yesterday when he said: The muir

bad its headquarters at Covington, Ky.
Five years ago the company moved 10 An

Thomas made a fortune, his wealth being
estimated at $500. 900. In addition TO this,
the inheritance from his parents would
have amounted TO considerable.
Thomas moved a great deal in society,
and over a year ago became acquainted
with Miss Suzanne Little, a society leader
of Muncie. They were married about a
year and a half ago, and spent their hon
eymoon in a tour through Europe. Tney
returned by way of Thomas's home in
Kentucky and spent several days there.
ON returning to Anderson they went to
live in the fashionable part of the city.
Mrs. Thomas was, prior TO her marriage,
a resident of this city for a short time.
She attended the Girls Classical School
here and graduated. She was grief-stricken
at the announcement of her husbands
death. brought to her by L. II. Gedge. pres

belonged. Thomas left home for a trip
through the southern part of this State.

Road House Will BE Watched.

Mayor Denny said yesterday that he
would join in a request that the police
be ordered to keep a surveillance over
the Brighton Beach road house and see that
the il o'clock closing law was obeyed.
The house is not within the city limits,
but comes within the two-mile limit. Inc
closing law is a State law, however, and
affects saloons wherever they may be.
The saloons within the limit are subject
to regulation by the police. The force at
the present time is inadequate to permit
any sort of surveillance being kept over
this and other road houses, but Mayor
Denny says 1t is likely that some of the
special police sworn in for the strike
troubles will be retained to enable the
police to watch these places. He sad the
police would try to stop the orgies that
have been held nightly at the Brighton
Beach road house.
Commissioner White, of the Board of
Public Safety, said the board had ordered
Superintendent Powell 10 enforce the law
at this place Just prior to the strike troub-
les. When that came it required all of
the available men. and nothing was done
about the road house. This order will be
renewed.

Sovereign Power.

We have never known the Ameri-
can people to fully make up their
minds to having a thing that was to
be gotten through votes but what they
have ultimately succeeded in getting
it. The failure of one political party
to fully meet the requirement only de-
lays the matter little, that is all.
The sovereign power is so used to
these little and frequent deceptions on
the part of her statesmen that it rather
anticipates the casual 'damn the peo.
pie" from them. To suppose the in.
dependent voter don't know when he
is tricked and deceived, is all wrong
and our politicians without regard to
party are beginning to find it out.
And to suppose the independent vo.
ter don't know which of the parties
most nearly advocates the peoples
cause and interests is also a mistake.

A million dollars appropriated for
exterminating weeds, thistles, &C., is
regarded with some ridicu)e by certain
well.to do publishers who have naught
to say about wasteiul extravaganza IN
other directions where two or three
times that amount is worse than
wasted. If a million dollars will be
paid by this Government for extermi-
mating thistles, &C., in the interests of
farmers, the poor man and not the
rich will reap the advantage Of the ap-
preparation, no doubt. But we must
admit it to be little contrary since
the bulk of our national appropriations
go toward the propagation and not the
determination of nuisances which pre-
cedent alone has sanctioned without
pretending to justify.

The competition of electric cars
and bicycles is already noticed and
felt by railroads. In few years the
passenger traffic of railroads that run
parallel with well kept roads over
which the little bicycle can travel
will be still further diminished. And
small packages heretofore sent by
express, many Of them, will also reach
destination by foot-power instead OF
steam. Small as this little propeller
is, it Is working a revolution already
felt by railroads. When patents expire
they will be very cheap, no doubt.

From the Seat of War.

The Chinese troop.ship Kow Shunl
carrying 1900 soldiers was recently
captured and sunk out of sight by {
Japanese war ship after some resist
ance off the coast of Round Island
1t is reported that fully 100 Chinese
were killed or wounded before the sur
render. The Chinese boat was fierce
ly attacked and was entirely disabled
before the Japanese boarded her. All
save 40 of the 1900 were either killed
or drowned, all her officers being kill
ed before she went down. Other
Chinese boats carrying large transports
of their troops to Corea, landed them
safely, however, and there is blood
being already freely shed in heather.

Cheering word of fair prospects OF
some kind of tariff revision reaches us
at last from Washington. 1t is the
writer's opinion that the reform will
not hurt much, and hence the posi-.
bility Of its probability this session

be so possible this session. We are
still of the belief that the voters can
straighten up this tariff difficulty. All
they need to do is to know the kind
OF legislators and Congressman they
elect with a view to helping tariff re,
vision. Sicker horses than this have

Debs now hits back by threatening to
organize big strike for next year. He
should reflect upon the hangover con-
dition of the tariff question. The
country may be Strengthened up
enough by next year to bear up under
either the tariff issue or Debs strike,
but to expect it to brace up under
both and unravel the ugly knots in
both the labor and the tariff questions
is, we think, rather more than the true
patriot would put upon his country.
1t is to be hoped Mr.. Debs will recede
from this position, at least far enough
to defer his strike until the tariff issue
is settled.

Presidents frank letter to Chairman
Wilson and the greater excitement
over the assault OF his senatorial friend
(so-calledD, and the wild astonishment
at defence of his particular senatorial
enemy, Mr.. Hill, there seems to be
somewhat of dearth of Debs and
and Coxey news of late. Enough can
be culled from the Western papers,
however, to warrant us in reminding
the reader that they are still alive and
kicking instead of striking.

the face at Washington, as regards the
possibility OF Democratic harmony on
the tariff and revenue questions, we
must admit that it would look more
hopeful if they would drop the clubs
and brickbats they seem to be carry

war they could come nearer prepar-
ing for peace than they seem to be.

is to deny them as far as possible.

a we'll dressed man got on the Sixth
! avenue elevated the other day and
CROPPED along for a strap, which his
companion finally placed in his hand.
AS the former seemed quite uncertain
of his footing and was being partially
supported by the latter, people stared
at him rather hard under Che impression
that he was intoxicated. He was not
only well dressed, but wore a handsome
ring, heavy gold watch chain and other
jewelry. Passengers jostled him con-
siderably as he swayed from the strap,
and pretty soon it became evident to
those in the vicinity that instead of be-
young lady made the discovery and i'm
mediately arose and motiOned the blind
mans companion to take her seat.
When this had been communicated to
the blind man, the latter turned in the
direction Of the lady and raised his
hat respectfully, but declined the prof
fered courtesy. His companion whis-
pered something IN his ears-mOst like
ly that the lady was both young and
handsome-for the afflicted man began
pluming himself and finally turned by
changing hands on the strap so that the
young lady might get a more definite
view of rather fine face. He straight
ened up his rings, settled his collar, felt
to ascertain whether his coat was but
toned and pulled down his cutEs-just
