YAWPING MANAGES

Make the BedweII Asylum a Nuisance
and Injure the Value of Property.
The people living in the vicinity of
BedwelPs private asylum in North To-
peka have started another ''war" on that
institution.
Late yesterday afternoon Geo. Kim
merle, Miss Mary Kimmerle, Mrs. R.
Payne and Mrs. E. Colvin appeared be-
fore the committee of health of the city
council and asked that some action be
taken to have the place suppressed.
What can we do?" said Mrs Colvin.
who is sister of Congressman Curtis.
1--WE have our property there and can
not move away and SO We have
to put up with this asy-
Ium. Last summer they had a
woman there who would shout all night
and more than once | have not gone to
bed because her cries would keep me
awake. The men are turned loose in
the yard and they shout to people who
are passing and annoy everyone in the
neighborhood. We have no recourse ex-
cept from the council and / hope that
you will take steps to abate this nuts
ance."
Mrs. Payne said that she had been
driven away from the neighborhood by
the asylum and could get no renters for
houses on account of it.
Mr.. kimmerIe said that something had
10 be done for his wife would no longer
stay in the house alone even in day time
and that when any Of them stepped out
side the door they were insulted by the
inmates.
The committee decided to recommend
that an ordinance be passed declaring
the place nuisance and such an ordi-
nance was presented to the council last
night.
County Commissioner J. Lee Knight
defended the asylum and the attorney
asked that action on the ordinance be
postponed and this was done. It is very
clear, however, from all the evidence
offered as well as from the general rep
utation of the place which is notorious

remedy through the courts for this mat

It has been pointed out by NJ. Delisle,

ton of New York declared against even
submitting it to the people. What is
worse, 1T is feared III some quarters that
the action in New York was more than
merely negative. It was of such a nature
as to perhaps delay all possib ility of the
suffragists winning in the Empire State
for yet another term of years.
On the other hand the record of the
year just past is not altogether disheart-
ening. The right to vote was generally
exercised for the first time at the last
election by the women Of Colorado, and,
according to the reports, with as much
intelligence at least as that displayed by
the men. III Illinois also the women
voted for the first time, though only for
one state officer, and as intelligently
as did their sisters of full suffrage privi-
leges in Wyoming and Colorado, and
wherever they are entitled to voice in
school matters women have turned out
in force during the past year at the polls.
Miss Anthony, Mrs Stanton, Mrs. Blake
and the remainder of the old guard who
will meet at Atlanta this year, will
therefore be able to congratulate one an
other because some forward steps have
been taken.
L
dreamed, when, as a young girl, she
stood up, more than 40 years ago, GA
the floor of the New York State Teach
ers' association convention at Rochester
and demanded for the women of that
gathering the right to take part in its
deliberations, that she would live to see
women in possession of equal citizen
ship anywhere. But there is no doubt
that when Wyoming conferred the suf-
frage on women she looked for rapid
spread of the same liberal policy
throughout the United States. The hope
| lessness of the case apparent in Her
youth had then changed to rose colored
prospects of success, though subsequent
events have not fully justified her an
ticipatiOns, and the great majority of the
states are as they We're twoscore years
| ago-the men only are citizens and wom-
en- are not yet admitted to voting privi-
leges
It has been Miss Anthonys chief
/ hope, during the last decade and half,
that she might live to witness the con-
| ferring of the suffrage upon the women
of her own state, New York. In 1880 it
| seemed to her and her coworkers that the
! hour of their victory was nigh, for they
had the promise of a majority of the
| votes in the assembly for the suffrage
measure then up. But the promises were
not fulfilled and after 1850 it was not
until 1894 that Miss Anthony again be-
came hopeful. 1t did seem to her, how
ever, during last spring and the early
part of the following summer that there
were grounds for believing the end to
be in sight, as for the first time in the
history of the movement that conserva-
tive element, the society woman, took
up the cause.

forget the delighted surprise with which

clan in America, eminent as are some
of her sisters who have devoted their
lives and talents to the healing art. Dur
ing the sessions of New York s constitu-
tional convention last year she Iabored
with great persistence before that body
and made one address upon it's floor that
won general attention, even from her
opponents, as well reasoned argument
and one in which misrepresentation and
extravaganza statements had no place.
Although she is an American in the best
sense of the term, she is not a native of
this country, having been born in Lon
don. Her father, however, was George
P Putnam, the American publisher.
She came to the United States early in
life and when but young girl entered
the Woman's Medical college in Phila-
delphia. After her graduation there, she
studied at the College of Pharmacy in
New York, being the first woman gradu
ated, and then went to Paris, where she
managed to secure admission to the med
ical schools of the French capital, after
much opposition, and only because she
was heartily Endorsed by United States
Minister Washburn. Her valedictory
thesis, delivered upon graduation, in
1871 won great commentator, and for
it she received silver medal while vari-

Her husband, DIR. Abraham jacob,

in New York, where they were married
in 1878. He is now man of great emf

the fact that he was chosen to head the
American delegation to the recent inter

If the speeches made at the last din
ner of the Pilgrim Mothers in New
York be an indication of the feeling on
the part of the suffragists toward Joseph
Choate, that gentleman will probably be
handled without gloves at Atlanta.
Nearly every speaker referred to Mr..
Choate in q more or less sarcastic or
critical manner, and Mrs. Stanton went
so far as to recite some disparaging
rhymes about him and his action as pres
ident of the convention. Naturally
among the chief features of the work to
be done at the coming convention will be

and if it is possible to devise any scheme
