| IN HOTEL CORRIDORS.
| Ihe woman's suffrage question is being
violently agitated in Kansas just now" said
Andrew F. Heiser of Kansas City, No. at
the Metropolitan. 'It will be put to a practi-
| cal test at the municipal elections which
VIII be held in April at Kansas City, kan
saS, ana Rosedale At the latter place an
| containing the names of two women for
| members of the city council In Kansas
| City. however, the straight-out democrats
at their primaries placed the names of two
Women-Mrs. Frame and Mrs. Scharrf- on
| the regular ticket for members of the board
| OF education. Wonaan's suffrage will he the
| issue IN the campaign in both municipali-
| ties. The Kansas democrats are not very
enthusiastic in behalf of the reform. but
| they nominated the two ladies in order to
| practically ascertain just how the people
| stand OF the question. Consequently as no
possible objection can be made against the
female nominees the leaders assert that
oniy party prejudice and opposition to
| woinan's suffrage can cause their defeat l
believe the cause is gaining hundreds of
trlends every day all over the west, despite
| the OBJECT lesson of Mary Ellen Lease and
| won't be surprised to see many states ex-
tend the voting privilege to women before
very long,.
| TO secure proper idea of the optical ex-
preston Of injured innocence, silent ;ndig-
nation, outraged sensibilities or any similar
sentiment the artist should go west and
punch cows" said Charles r. Miller of 81,
Joseph. MO-, to party of story tellers at
Wormley's last night. In following this
occupation he will at the proper time run
| across a very young calf lying in the bushes
or in little hollow, where the gras crows
high. Then he can have just dead loads of
run with the animal and forget all his woes
lor a whole hour. Muley cows, be it under
| stood, nave way of hiding or of thinking
| tney are hiding their offspring in some re-
ureo spot while they go off to Craze. They
JUST dump the animated veal down under a
push or a bunch of grass, talk with 1t in
| the cow language for a minute or two and
| assure 1t that ii is safe from all harm and
ABSOLUTELY concealed from sight and scurry
on TO secure supply of cud. Like every
other 1nfant, a calf has absolute faith and
| unqueStioning confidence in its mother 40
1t lays there, nine times out of ten,as promi-
nent as white ball on a drab back ground
we'll could be, never moving tail or limb
and firmly believing that nothing with ewes
can see II: That is the reason one can have
SO much fun with It, When you come across
a calf that believes you don't see 1t and stop
the expression of the animals eyes is one
OF supreme disgust. 1t knows. of course
that you can't see it and wonders what YOU
want to loaf just in that particular neigh
borhood for. Then you can tantalize it into
a thousand different feelings by making
motions and grimaces toward IT. / have
seen calfs eyes express more emotions in
a minute than those of a sensitive woman
would in week. Scorn. pity. anger. every
thing, but 1t never moves. But you'd better
have your horse close by you II you touch
it. Such an agonied howl of surprise and
rage will go up as you never listened to
before, and mother and herd will be there
in short order to wreak vengeance on the
disturber. Then you want to have a saddle
between your legs, for a man on foot in a
bunch of western cattle has just about as
much chance for his white alley as a snow
ball does in the place Bob Ingersoll don't
| believe in"
I've are going to have a great revival Of
trotting at Charter Oak Park during the
last week in August" said Jared Butterick
| of Hartford at the Ebbitt this morning.
The directors held a meeting on Saturday
night, at which ex-Gov. Bulk eey elect
| ed president and IL decided TO have
| grand racing on the last four days of Au-
gust, the stakes for which will foot up
| $4,000. There will be $4,000 purse for
| four year-olds; one of S2O,OOO for three
year-olds, called the Nutmeg stakes and
the Charter Oak stake of $4,000 will also
be trotted for. Then the National Breeders
Association will have its colts stakes trot-
| ted at this meeting, making altogether q
| four days program rever before rivaled.
| believe that no pool selling will be al
| lowed. L know that many people say that
| trotting races have fallen into disrepute,
but up in my state you can easily see from
| what have told you how the sport holds
its own high place"
Il don't think Corbett will ever meet
Jackson" said Arthur Richards, the ST.
Louis sporting man, at the National, on
his way north from Florida. He has been
! keeping shy of the coon for over two years
Every sporting man knows that Corbett
did the baby act when he met Jackson out
In San Francisco. He said his hands were
broken and quit the fight instead of going
In and trying to make the scrap interest
| ing. He knew he was going up against a
! broken-down drunkard when he went
against Sullivan, and that he overmatched
Mitchell in height, reach and everything
| Mitchell had lushed himself pretty near to
death, so far as his priZe-fghting qualities
were concerned, also, and Corbett didn't
have to fight a little bit to make a chop
| ping block of him. But he's afraid to run
the risk of losing to Black Peter. 1 don't
mean that he is physically afraid of TAX
Ing punishment, but that he hasn't the
| courage to stake his easily won reputation
! on go with a man who has half a chance
to take 1t away from him..
81 have seen the Toltec tunnel and the
| Royal gorge, and all those other wonderful
creations that nature has compressed with
in the boundaries of Colorado" said Fred.
Babcock at La Normandie yesterday but
when 1T comes to Royal gorges 1 saw a
/ fellow couple of weeks ago at the CASTOR
| Hotel In Memphis who put all other
freaks of old Mrs. Nature in deep. dark
| shadow. l was attracted to him at break
| fast. He sat at the table next to mine and
was nearly through his meal when | sat
/ down, but he sent back three times for
/ ham omelette and had his coffee cup twice
1eflled. At dinner l started in even with
| him, so far time is concerned but he
| outfooted me in a jiffy when it came to
| performance, so L just nibbled away and
watched him. He squared himself. tucked
a napkin under his chin and ambled away
with four plates of soup, into each of which
he fairly crammed water crackers. The fish
was pompano, and he ate three of them to
show, l presume, proper appreciation of
Lent. When his dinner came on the wait
ers tray was piled high with dishes, and
| he cleaned up their contents with vora-
| cious speed and kept the darkey going on a
| trot to replenish those that tickled his
! palate mostly His appetite was positively
appalling. When he had finished the solids
he ordered his dessert, and l declare that
he called for at least half dozen things,
| including ice cream, chocolate eclaire bread
pudding and baked custard. l imagine that
If dozen fellows like him would favor any
| hotel with their STEADY patronage they
would drive the owners to hang out a red
/ flag and start a niger walking up and
down in front of the premises ringing a
great big bell.'
