A roman who had lectured on equal
suffrage said that a good with
whom she was lately converting X
pressed much regret that any wife and
mother should be willing to leave her
family long enough to 60 up and down
the country lecturing. On inquiry it
was learned that the one who lgave this
objection. was herself at that very time
visiting relatives, while she had left her
husband and children at home in q dis
tant state two months previously, and
intended to prolong her visit still an
other month, but the lecturer had never
been away from home longer than two
weeks at q time, and seldom SO long as
that.

Topeka is noted as a convention city.

many kinds of particular gatherings that
the streets are filed with people wear

keep regalias and uniforms from suffer

Conventions are good thing. 1t is as

is often by appearing before the Grand

England,s Fear of Invasion.

The second preparation for war was
the we'll known, yet curious and much
discussed equipment of an expedition
to invade England. 1t is a common
place of history that British empire has
ever been bound up with the separation
of the kingdom from the continent of
Europe by a narrow but stormy estu-
ary. There had, of course, been repeat
ed invasions and successful invasions
of her soil from the days of the Anglo
Saxons themselves down to the expedi-
ton of William of Orange, but growing
wealth had furnished ever increasing
means of resistance in the superb arma-
ments which under England's flag made
access to her shores SO much more. diff
cult with every year that finally, after
the Seven Years War, it came to be
regarded by her enemies as impossible.
On the other hand, the people them
selves are to this day skepti-
cal, and fall into periodic pan
les on the question. Some clev-
er fiction, like the Battle of Dorking,"
or a revival of the project for tunnel
under the channel can awaken such
visions of invasion as to insure the
passage of any grant for Strengthening
the navy This singular distrust was
we'll known to the French.

ROYAL JOURNEY.
Queen of Spain Has Cause to Visit
Austria.

Queen of Spain Has Cause to Visit
Austria.
Queen Christina is about to undertake
voyage to Austria, where her pres
ence, it appears, is indispensable in con-
nection with the settlement of the vast
estate of her uncle, the late Archduke
Albert, who died the richest man of
Austro-Hungary; indeed, one might al
most say of Europe, since no inconsid-
cradle portion of his fortune comprises
an immense number of as yet undevel-
oped mines. Of course her absence
from Spain at the present juncture is
extremely inconvenient, says the New
York Times. But the interests and fu-
ture OF her children are at stake and,
moreover, her sister-in-law, the Prin-
cess Isabella, countess of Girgenti, with
whom she is now completely recon
clled, has already proved herself most
capable regent during the absences
from the kingdom Of her brother, the
late king.
Christina has left Spain but once
since her marriage in the latter part
OF the seventies, and at the time she
then quilted Madrid she firmly intended
ANFSA " 1CLuTA. II was d COuPAO Va
years before her husbands death and
she had been so exasperated by the
fagraacy of his inf1delities, notably by
his public liaison with the late duchess
of Ossuna, a Princess Solms by birth
and duchess of Croy by her second
marriage, that she vowed never to live
with him again, and sought refuge at
Vienna with her children.
What provoked the departure was the
fact that she discovered the king and
duchess Willing away a June afternoon
in one of the kiosks of the gardens OF
the palace of La Granja. The duke Of
Sesto, the diminutive and squeaky-
voiced stepfather of the present Due de
Morny, was on guard at the entrance
and attempted to bar her progress. Her
Hapsburg blood, however, would brook
no such interference, and, infiicting a
singing slap on the cheek of the Tilted
fiance of Eugene de Montijo (subse-
Quently empress of the French), she
passed by and into the kiosk.
1t needed all the persuasive powers of
Emperor Francis Joseph, her cousin,
| and of the Archduchess Elizabeth, her
mother, to induce her to return to Ma
drid, and this was not achieved until
three months had elapsed and the Ouch
ess of Ossuna had been banished not
only from the court but even from the
kingdom.

WOMAN DIVER.

Makes Her Living by Trips Into tbs
Deep Sea.
From Palm Beach, Fla, comes the
story of a woman SO years of age, a
native of Jamaica, who has for ten
years been engaged as a submarine
diver. Her husband, Pedro Gomez,
came from Spanish family of sponge
divers. While at Funchal, Madeira, in
the Canaries, he became acquainted
with an English diver, who gave him
some ideas as to submarine exploration
under scientific auspices. He went to
Central America and met his love and
his business partner of to-day at Colon,
on the isthmus. She fell into his line
of life easily, and for ten years has done
the better part of the hazardous work
which he as a manager contracts for.
She carries less armor than he does,
and has invented a helmet with a sys-
tenn of airpipes that she and her hus-
band alone hold the secret of. 1t is
claimed that with this helmet securing
her breathing connection with the up
per world she can wander almost at will
through sunken wreck. In a recent
interview with the editor of a Jackson
vile newspaper she says that in the
course of a thousand descents to the
oceans bed within the ten years that
she has been in the business she has
never met a sea monster or any other
fish that would not fly from the merest
wave of her arm.

when he was only is years of age and
went to the front as member of the
Sixth Ohio infantry. When his first term
of service as a volunteer expired, he re-
enlisted for three years. He fought IN
der Mcclellan in the West Virginia
campaign and was with Grant at Shi-
lob. In February, 1868, he was trans
ferred to the First Mississippi Marine
brigade. One day near Austin, Miss, he
received a charge of small shot full in
the face and was soon Mortified to learn
that he was totally blind.
He received an honorable discharge
from the army and entered a school for
the blind at Columbus, O., remaining
there for seven years studying and pre-
pairing himself for the ministry He

ham, Mass. and Port Huron, Mich. He
was pastor of the Universalist church at
Port Huron until several months ago,
when he resigned. He is described as
man Of 1ovable character and scholarly
tastes.
Congress has long been partial to
blind chaplains and chaplains who
make short prayers. The Rev. W. Il.
Milburn, who became famous as the
blind chaplain of the house, was ap-
pointed away back in 1916 and has been
praying in the house at intervals for the
past so years. Not long ago he was
transferred to the senate, which he now
opens with nrayer.
