The court house was crowded last
Thursday evening to hear Mrs. Julia
Is. Nelson, president of the Woman'S
Suffrage association OF Minnesota. We
got in late, and owing to it being
a suffrage meeting expected some OF
the ladies to Immediately arise and
give us seat. But an expression of
easy cOntentment rested upon the feat
ures Of all the fair ones, and not a one
vacated chair for us. This was an
unexpected affront that we inwardly
resented, and as there was not vacant
chair in the room We posted ourself up
against a window in the back part of
the house and glared viciously about on
account Of the ungentlemanly actions
Of the ladies. Our thoughts were soon
turned from this, however, to Observ-
ing the audience. The ladies' all wore
their hats throughout the meeting, aud
the gentlemen from the same force of
habit took theirs off. OF course this
the discomfort already suffered by us
from sitting on two inch window ,sill
with nothing but piece of plate glass
between us and eternity, But We were
pleased to notice that the ladies asSum

while the gents wore, besides their US.

lection, and chewed gum with patient
weakness. This, we felt. was as il
should be. The exercises were formal
ly opened by singing and prayer. after
which the speaker was introduced
She made very good speech, interest
ing throughout and occasionally inter
rupted 10y applause or laughter at some
of her witty phrases. The speech was
we'll received by our people. At The
Gloss collection was taken to defray
expenses, and then an expression of the
people on the question of woman /
suffrage was asked for. Those oppos
ed were first asked to stand, but it was
not their meeting and only two respon.
ded. On the other hand quite mum
Der Of ladies, gentlemen and children
arose to express their intention of sup
porting the amendment this fall, but {
large majority did not arise in eithe
instance. AS for Ourself we inquired

native we did not arise for either side
The man addressed is a very influen

respect for his opinion. On our wa,
out after the conclusion we stumbled
over a spittoon which some designing
person had placed there for an insinua
tion that gentlemen would so far for
get their place as TO chew tobacco in
wOman's rights meeting. The audaci
ty and impertinence OF that base dee,
were appalling. Mrs. Nelson was SUI
rounded by a crowd OF admirin
friends, who were anxious to make tn
acquaintance of the gifted woman
Her meeting had certainly been sue
cess In every particular.
