Woman Suffrage's Bunker Hill.
Boston Transcript
For woman suffrage the result was a
sort of Bunker Hill. The dimensions of
the vote in favor of womens voting are
the great surprise of the election. Nobody
on either side expected any such decisive
demons tration as this so-oalled rcferen-
DUN has resulted In, publishing to the
world that woman suffrage for municipal
elections Is Endorsed by one voter to every
two against it. Heretofore the belief in
woman suffrage has been supposed to be
confined to small remnant of the
Rcmnant"-to 1.-THE long haired men
and short haired women" who are the
contempt of the masses and their leaders
but here is proved that in Boston over
%, 600 of the voters care enough for
woman suffrage to cast their votes for it
in spite of the discussion and influence
actively arrayed with advertising and
posters against it. The Herald analysis
of the vote of Boston shows that in the
six strong Republican wards about forty
three per cent of the total vote on the
referendum was for suffrage. and In the
other wards the suffragist proportion only
dropped to thirty per cent. One city and
a number of towns throughout the state
show clear suffragst majority. Evi
IDENTIFY the alarm of the remonstrants and
the man suffragists was not without
reason such n minority is liable to become
a majority at any time.

An Annual Joke

Professor Josiah Z. Cooke, well known

him In the big amphitheater in Boyleston

the lecture, after he had touched upon the
tremendously destructive qualities Of Ger

HIS MASK SLIPPED OFF.
Henry Schmidt Swears to the Identity OF
One Of SCOTS Mur,ierers.


Omaha, Jan. 30-A special to the Bee
from O'Neill, Neb., says: a sensation
was developed today in the trial of the
men charged with the lynching of Barrett
Scott, when Henry Schmidt. who drove
the Scott rig the night OF the attack
positively Identified Moses Elliott as one
of the attacking party and partially iden-
titled others of the accused. After detail
ing the attack and how he was taken
biindfolded with Scott to a deserted house
he said: II had partially slipped the
bandage OF my eyes when man came up
to me and said he would take me TO
ONeill, but must remain blindfolded. /
asked if / could bid Scott goodbye and
was allowed to do so. Scott told me to
go, and said he was sure they would kill
him, but he hoped they would do il quick.
/ was then taken to a cart, in which was
a coat and a gun. / was put on the cart
and a man got uD and drove OF. When
We started he had a mask on. as / could
see over the cloth that was supposed to be
over my eyes. We had been driving
about ten minutes when the mask came
off the drivers face"
He was asked if he had seen the man
who IL was. and he said IL was Moses
Elliott.
Elliott was then asked to stand up and
did so. Schmidt said: He is the man that
drove me away in the cart and l will
swear to IL positively" Elliott turned
little pale and appeared nervous when thus
openly accused. Schmidt was put through
a severe croSS-examination but did not alter
his testimony. He mentioned the other
persons whom he thought he recognized
but was not certain.

The COST OF OLD BOOKS.
The Prices Vary According to the Quaiit,
of the Dealers Patrons.

The Prices Vary According to the Quality
of the Dealers Patrons.
The book hunter soon finds ont that the
| prices for rare old tones vary in ratio to
the quality or wealth Of dealer s patrons
This ID as true of the booksbops Of San
Francisco, Chicago, New Orleans or Bos
ton as 1t Ia Of New York, the leading old
book mart Of the country. II you 60 into
the stylish book stores OF any OF these
! cities. you will have 10 pay 20 or so per
cent more for a book than II you went To
the inconsequential dealers In out OF the
way piaces-in cellars or in tumble down
| shops.
Another point in book prices Is the high
prices charged for one sort Of books and
| the cheapness Of others. On the and 10
cent counters will be found BEAUTIFULLY
bound religious works and volumes OF
novels, worn and cheap editions Of popu-
lar novels and technical works too an
cient to be Of any special service OF this
time. 1t Is an unusual thing TO find
bargain on any Of these cheap counters.
The dealers are exceedingly careful on
that score. Albeit, every once in awhile
dealer gets caught mapping, and the
book hunter picks up a tome of great
value
1t may be said that religious works sell
ut the cheapest prices, dramatic works,
memoirs and annals of the stage at the
highest. Works on sport average up with
the drama Audubon's works are always
held at high figures. Frank Forrester's
works, now out OF print, are hard to pick
up, and the few found on sale go at fancy
figures.
The high prices for sporting works are
owing TO two causes. Works OF this chap
acter are rarely issued except In limited
editions and are well printed and bound
Dramatic and sporting works seldom 60
into second editions, so when an edition
Is exhausted the purchaser must go 20 the
old book store. These works got up in

OLNEY's BILL MADE OVER.
What Representatives Of the Labor Organ.

izatiOns Would Like.
| Washington, Jan. 30.-Prominent rep
| reSentatives Of labor organizations and
| others interested, gathered in the room
| of the house committee on labor today
| to discuss labor arbitration bills pre-
sented by Attorney General Olney and
| the Chicago strike commission. The
chairman stated that at a conference
last night between representatives OF
railway employees the commissioner OF
labor and members of the labor COM
mittee, the Olney bill had been amend
ed so as to meet the views Of the rail-
way interest.
The first important recommendation
was that in regard to the selection Of
the committee to arbitrate any contro-
versy that may arise. This committee is
tc consist of one person named by the
carrier or employer directly interested
the second by the labor organization to
which the employees directly interested
belong and the third by these two. If
they fail to chose the third member in
twenty-four hours then the chairman of
the interstate commerce commission
and the chairman of labor are to choose
him. This does away with the provis-
ion making the the chairman of the in
terState commerce commission MEM
her of the commission as proposed by
the attorney general
Another important amendment adop-
ted by the committee strikes out section
10 of the attorney generals bill which
gives that official authority in a con-
troversy of such magnitude as to pre-
vent the operation of railroad, IL sat-
isfied it cannot be adjusted by arbitra-
ton, to file bill in equity to prevent
the commission or continuance of pub
lie mischief caused of threatened, and
to ask for the appointment of receivers
of the property of the carrier pendin:,
the settlement of the controversy.
Other amendments provide that en-
ployes dissatisfied with the award Of
the arbitration committee shall not by
reason of such dissatisfaction, quit the
service of the employer without giving
thirty days notice nor shall the en-
ployer dissatisfied with the award, dis
miss employees before three months
after making the award, nor without
thirty days notice in writing; the
award shall continue in force for one
year and no new arbitration on the
same subject shall be had until the ex-
piration Of two years.
Messrs. Clark, Sargent and Eden,
representing the railroad employees, ex-
pressed themselves as satisfied with the
bill and thought the results derived
therefrom would be beneficial.

that the appointment of receivers was
made at his home after the regular
court hour and the officers of the court
conniyed at the suppression of the news

favorably. 1t is believed that the re-

Judge Grosscup Answers the Complaints of
New York Parties.


Chicago, Jan. 30-In an interview
oday concerning the complaints of the
New York stockholders, Judge Gross
.up was asked:
rs it not usual for applications of
his kind to be made out of court?"
No; it is done every day. This was
/ proceeding brought by the stock
aolders OF the Whisky Trust and both
sides We're represented Runnells and
BURY appeared for the stockholders
and John S. Stevenson of Peoria, attor-
hey for the Disabling and Cattle Feed
ing company, appeared for the defend
ant corporation and consented to the
appointment of the receivers"
Are receivers appointed as matter
Of course on such an application if the
corporation consents?"
Yes, provided the bill presented
makes out a case for the appointment
Of receivers. In this matter there was
no question. The company was shown
TO be hobeleSsly inSolvent, with its as
sets scattered all over the country and
that serious loss to the stockholders
would enSue If the property was not
placed in the custody of the court a
stead Of a state court because of the
fact that the property of the trust is
scattered over the country"
Who suggested the names of Mr.
Lawrence and President Greenhut?"
The stockholders proposed Mir. Law
renee. l have known Mr.. Lawrence a
long time and know him to be a man
Of chaacter. ability and integrity, and
SO | appointed him. 1t is necessary al
ways to have a man who IS familiar
with the business affairs of the corpor-
alton as one of the receivers. The
other side suggested Mr.. Greenhut and
] named him. Ii has since been init
mated that motion would be made
for Mr.. GreenhutS removal as receiy-
er. If il can be shown that he is in any
way responsible for the mismanage-
ment of affairs of the trust. of course
he will be removed. 1t has also been
statedsince that Mr.. Lawrence is a fell
