COST OF A RAINY DAY.

the losses sustained by dealers in dry
goods in consequence of rainy days"
said n contractor TO reporter of the
New York World recently, but the
real sufferers by the rainy day are the
day laborcrs and those who do business
directly with them. Rain means an
idle day to every lahorer and mechanic
employed on outdoor work, such as
cNcavators, quarrymcn, railroad build
ers, stone masons, bricilaycrs, car
pcntcrs, painters, furniture movers,
long-shorcmcn, etc. What they do not
earn they cannot spend.
There is no way for this class of
brcad-winners to regain the day once
lost. They are men who deal Will,
their groccrs, butchers and others on :.
cash basis. If IL man works steadily all
the week he is enabled to buy certain
amount of the ncccssaricS and luXurics
of life. If he works but three DAYS he
must get along with just half Of what
he would otherwise have purchased.
The storckccpcr's business falls off lust
that much. 1t will be readily seen.
then, that II rainy day in New York
city means IL loss Of the working popu-
lation of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in wages, and this loss in turn falls
upon retail tradcsmen. A rainy season
means distress and deprivation to the
tOilcrs."

Brice is religious man. although not
active in church work. When the Pres
byterian general assembly was held
here two years ago, Senator Brice was
called on for little contribution to
help defray the expenses of the local
churches, and he gave $500, greatly to
the surprise of the clergyman, who
never dreamed of getting more than
$50 from any one man. When only 10
years old young Brice enlisted in the
seth Ohio infantry. lie came out of the
war a captain, in July, 1868, before he
was quite 20 years old. He then
studied law, practiced, and finally be-
came engaged in business enterprises
which have made him wealthy. lie has
been an active working democrat for
many years, and has served his party
with great distinction. He is one of
the most genial. likeable men in the
senate, and is an important factor in all
legislation.
Senator George c. Perkins, of Califor-
mia. is Sc years of age, having been boru
in 1899 in kennebunkport, Me. lie is
regarded as one of the rich men of the
senate, and he also is entitled to enjoy
his accumulations, for he was a very
poor boy and made his own way in the
world. He was reared on farm, but,
when only u years old, he shipped as a
cabin boy, and spent several years at sea
in that humble capacity. He then
shipped before the mast as a common
sailor and went all the way TO CalifOr-
mia in that capacity. 1t was rough
experience for a boy only l6 years old,
but he was hearty, healthy, ambitious
and strong, so he did not mind the hard
ships. When he reached California he
went to Oroville; where he engaged in
business and rapidly prospered. He
then engaged in banking, mining, mill
ing and steamship business. During
the past % years he has been building,
buying and operating steamships in the
Pacific ocean, from Mexico, California,
Oregon, Washington and British Co
lumbia clear up to Alaska. He was
elected governor of California in 1879,
and was appointed to the senate in 1899
to succeed Senator Stanford. who died
while a member of the senate. His term

for women she found the condition Of
married women under the common law
almost US degraded a. that Of the slave
on the southern plantation. The Seneca
Falls declarations demanded all that
the most radical friends of the woman's
rights movement have since demanded:
Equal rights in the colleges and uni
versities, in the trades and professions,
the right to vote, to share in all political
Offices, honors and emoluments, TO COM
plete equality in marriage, to personal
freedom, to property, wages and chill
dren; TO make contracts, to sue and TO
be sued, and to testify in courts Of JUS
tice. Foremost in the advocacy OF all
these things, Mrs. Stanton was one of
the first dress refOrmers of the country,
and one of the first women to wear
bloomcrs, more than 40 years ago.
Little by little have some Of the re-
forms demanded in 1@s been brought
about, though some so gradually that
it seems now as though there never was
q time when the American married
woman had absolutely no rights under
the law other than the right not to be
murdered.
Mrs. Stanton's public addresses,
whether before conventions of women
or before state legislatures, are classics.
In her address before the New York as
senibly in 1860 on the bill pending TO
give woman the right of suffrage, she
spoke of the natural rights of woman as
inalienable; 1--WE do not ask man to
represent u.s." she said. 'It is hard
enough in times like these for man to
carry backbone enough to represent
himself, So long as the mass of men
spend most of the time on the fence,
not knowing which way to jump, they
are surely in no position to tell us where
we had better stand" One of her first
triumphs against legislative prejudice
was the passage of the act concerning
the rights and liabilities of husband
and wife by the New York assembly in
March, 1860.
She was an early advocate of health
full exercise and of rational clothing
for girls. The girls must be allowed
to romp and play" she said in 1851
"climb, skate and swim; her clothing
must be more like that of the boy
strong, loose-fitting garments, thick
boots, etc, that she may be out at al
times and enter freely into all kinds OF
sports" The young women who nov
ride wheels, play tennis, and engage
in other healthful exercise without be
ing frowned upon as hoydens by the
community, have much for which to
be grateful to Mrs. Stanton. Speaking
The Columbus commercial. (Columbus, Miss.) 1893-1922, 1895-12-08

of dress in 1855 she said: "a true mar
riage relation has far more to do with
the elevation of woman than the style
and cut of her dress"
Nothing ever discouraged her in her
work except the listlessness and APP
athy of the women themselves, many
of whom claimed, in answer to every
appeal, that they had all the rights they
wanted. To Lucy Stone she wrote in
1856: 1--WE may continue to hold con-
yentions, we may talk of our right to
vote, to legislate, to hold property, but
until we can arouse in woman prop
er self-respect she will hold in con-
tempt the demands we now make for
our sex" A hard worker for coeduca-
ton and for equal rights in education,
she has seen the barriers to those rights
torn away from the doors of many of
the great institutions of the country;
and has seen state after state enact
laws giving to married women the right
to control their own property, to vote
at school elections, as well as other
rights long denied.
Some of the fruits of her great work
may be seen in state constitutions,
such as that of Colorado and Texas,
from which the word male" has been
omitted; while in Wyoming and Utah
woman has full suffrage. When she
began her work the bare proposition
that women could hold public office
satisfactorily was looked upon as evil
dcnce of insanity or worse; but now in
several states women are eligible as
school superintendent, and many
women have held the Office of postmas-
ter. She has taught the world, as much
by her noble example and character
as by her writings and addresses, that
character, even womanly character,
does not and cannot suffer from too
much breadth of thought, nor from
too active a sympathy in and too large
an acquaintance with human interests
and affairs. but must become more and
more enriched by larger ideas, larger
experience and greater activities.
Quoted, ridiculed and abused into
fame, the world will before long come
10 recognize Elizabeth Cady Stanton
as one of its truly great women and
one of the great characters Of America.
She has fulfilled the prophecy of the
good old friend of her childhood, Rev.
Simon Hosack. who taught her Greek
and said: Dear child, it is your mis-
sion to help mold the world anew"

no hint of the gorgeous splendor OF
those now in vogue. Some are printed
on white grounds in such gay, not to
say Atriking, colors as to be only fit for
opera wear and the most elegant oc-
casions. In sharp contrast to these
gaily-colored ones is a pretty leaf
pattern in subdued green on
grounds of dull red, old blue and
silver grey. These latter will be
mostly used for waists and the new
Louis XIV. coat which will be much
worn as the season advances. The love-
ly flower designs on colored and black
grounds are intended for sleeves and
bodice trimmings, and will also be used
for the new panel trimming outlined
with jet. Happily these printed vel
vets are held at such figure that they
can never become common, and the
same may be written of the dainty
chintz-fowered silks which are their
companions in beauty and price.
Many of the handsomest reception
and evening gowns are made of plain
cOlored or black velvet; and when one
Is cut "a Ia princess" by master hand,

it makes a regal garment and one any

A gown fashioned in this way was in
a lovely pale shade of green, trimmed
with narrow bands of sable round the
hem and square-cut neck, while the
short pulled sleeves were of transpar-
ent jeweled muslin finished by band
of the fur fastened by small emerald
clasps 1 might remark in passing
that the princess dress has been re-
stored to its old-time popularity, which
will be pleasing news to many women.
1t is a gown easy to get into and is gem

plump.

own field ofwork, into which heentered
with all the zeal of an enthusiast. The
American women determined that
when they returned to America they
would have a woman's convention, but
this was not held until 1S4s, at Seneca
Falls, n. y, where Mr.. and Mrs. Stanton
were then living. Mrs. Stanton was the
chief agent in calling the convention.
and wrote the resolutions and declara-
ton of the aims OF the convention. One
of the resolutions was the first decla-
ration in favor of woman suffrage, and
read as follows:
Resolved. That It is the duty of the women
OF this country 10 secure to themselves their
sacred right to the elective franchise
Old Judge Cady thought his distin-
guished daughter must have lost her
mind when he read this resolution,
went to see her, and tried to reason her
ont of her position, but without sue
cess, for she was made of as stern stuff
as he when it came to maintaining what
she believed 10 be right. In this mat
ter she was in advance of some of the
most noted reformers of her own sex,
notably Lucretia Mott, who tried TO
dissuade Mrs. Stanton from pressing
the franchise clause in the Seneca Falls
convention, but five years later, at the
Cleveland convention, proposed TO have
il adopted in honor of Mrs. Stanton. Her
hard and earnest work as crusader
against the unjust laws relating to
married women may be said to have be-
gun in 1854, when she addressed the
New York legislature on the rights Of
married women, at which time she
demonstrated her unusual ability as
an orator and jurist. About this time
also she began her advocacy of laws
allowing divorce for drunkenness on
the part of the husband, and addressed
the New York legislature on that sub
iect in 1850. Again in 1867 she was be-
fore the legislature and the eOnstitu-
tional convention of New York, main
taining that during revision Of the con
stitution the state was resolved into
its original elements,nnd that therefore
citizens of both sexes had the right TO
vote for members of the convention.
From 1855 to 1865 Mrs. Stanton was
president Of the national committee of
the suffrage party. In 1868 she was
president Of the Woman's Loyal league,
and until 1890 was the president of the
National Woman's Suffrage association.
When Mrs. Stanton began her work
