A Humorous Fact

Is not peculiarly lifted to go into battle,
bit think you will agree with me in
saying that but small part of the men
are SO qualified. Shall we eonfine the
right to vote to those men who arc com.
petent to bear arms? Not ut all. So that
it cannot be upon this theory that the bal
lot should be denied to woman.
The opponents of this measure claim
that 1t is not practical Let us see whether
1t Is practical or not.
The speaker then read from resolutions
of the Wyoming Legislature, endorsing
woman's suffrage, after rs years expert
ence of It in that state, and said that such
an endorsement was the best possible evil
lence that it was practical.
Continuing he said: l heard it claimed
on the floor of the other branch OF this
Le yislature that giving the right to vote
to women would increase the number OF
divorces, and tend to break up the home.
Why has it not done this in the State OF
Wy,mingy 1t has not done so, and the
stae ment Is not true. There Is nothing
in w,men's suffrage that would bring this
evil result about Is there any reason why
they should not go to the polls with their
husbands, and yet enjoy the same relations
a. formerly A man goes to one church,
and his wife to another, but that does moi
break up their home, or cause divorce.
Mr.. Hovey then reviewed the working
Of women's suffrage in the State OF Col
orado, and stated that 1t worked well, and
that Notwithstanding the cry OF the OPP
ponents Of this measure that women would
not exer Else tho privilege, at the last cleo
tions there the women had polled almost
their whole vote, showing that they had

at this time? Has 1t been the policy OF
this Legislature to ruin our country towns
to boom large cities? The cry has come
from Biddeford and Saco, and the lawyers
of both cities are pushing it, but a can
vass of the members of the bar throughout
the county shows large majority of that
profession to be against removal. Are the
Biddeford lawyers of any more conse-
quence than the honest farmers who pay
four-fifths of the taxes in our country
towns? If submitted to the people it is
comparatively easy to anticipate the result.
The responsibility is with this Legisla-
ture, composed almost entirely of Repub-
licans, and say to you, in closing. that
the Republicans Of York county will have
to meet the issue in the next campaign,
and when the next Legislature convenes
the delegates from that county will be
composed largely OF men of the opposite
political faith if you pass this bill.
Mr.. Higgins of York: do not know,
sir, that can add anything to the infor-
nation that has been given by my col
league. As everyone must realize, this
is matter of supreme Importance to
every citizen of York county 1t is almost
of like importance to every citizen of
this State, because if anything Is done
here which is injurious to one portion Of
the State, it certainly reflects and Ia in
furious to the whole people of the State
This matter was precipitated into this
Legislature with very little intimation Of
its coming. We have been asleep in the
night, and we have walked in the morning
and found this facing u.s. Now, who Ia 1t
tn It brings this matter before the Senator
Who is it that has presumed to say that
the shire town Of York county, without
any previous notice to these pepolc. shall
be submitted to the people of the county

THE BUTLER WAS PLUCKY.
Banker DonOhoe's Residence Entered
by Burglars.
They Knocked Over a FlOWer.Stand, Which
Led to Their Detection and
Flight.

The residence of Banker Donohoe, 526
Harrison street, was entered by two burg
lars on Wednesday morning about
o'clock.
Entrance was effected in a manner that
showed the men were not novices at the
business. A sack with some adhesive sub
stance was placed on the large window
which opens outward on the porch. A
quick sharp blow on the sack broke the
glass without making much noise and the
broken glass stuck to the sack. Then it
was easy to unfasten the clasp, open the
window and walk into the dining-room.
where lot of valuable silverware and or
naments are kept.
The burglars were just beginning to make
a suitable collection when one of them care
lessly knocked over a stand with large
tiower-pot on it. 1t fell against the CRATE,
making terrific noise.
The butler was awakened by crash, and
made his way to the dining-room. As he
entered he saw by the aid of the light from
the street lamp, one of the burglars. He
seized a heavy cane that stood In a rack
and pluckily advanced on the burglar
Just then the other burglar, who was
screened by the darkness, grabbed the cane
from him and struck him over the head
stunning him. The butler gave a yell that
struck terror to the heartsof the burglars,
who disappeared through the open window.
The burglary was reported to the police,
and the butler gave the following descrip-
ton of the two men: One, big, power
fully built man, about six feet tall, with
large head and large hands, and wore a
light suit, sack coat, dark pants and SLOUGH
hat; the other, about five feet seven inches
tall, reddish hair, ford complexion and
sandy mustache.
Policemen Bean and Fleming arrested
William Cullen and man named Donovan
on Wednesday night on suspicion of being
the burglars. Mr.. Donohoe's butler had
look at them at the City Prison yester-
day afternoon, but at once said they were
not the men. Donovan was released from
custody, but Cullen was charged with
Vagrancy.

AFTER THE POLICE.
Juror McCarthy's Committee lnvesti-
eating the Department.

JOHN MCCARTHY of Mccarthy BIOS, cot
fee and spice merchants at 113 Front
street, said:
"The Grand Jury will make thorough
investigation of the affairs of the po-
lice department. I am chairman of the
committee that has that particu-
lar branch of the municipal government
under consideration. A great many
charges have been made, and while there
may be merit in some of them, others have
no bottom on which to stand.
AS body we are without fear and with
out prejudice. In consequence everything
Will receive our unbiased attention, and if
we have to find indictments, neither
wealth, position nor pull will save the guilty
parties.
''As far as recommending legislation on
the question of municipal abuses is con-
cerned the Grand Jury has taken no action
1t Will be at least six weeks before we will
be ready to report, and what will be done
IN the meantime, of course, no one can
tell. We may suggest the appointment of
a Lexow Committee and we may not AS
far as the Police Department is concerned
do not think there will be any necessity
for further investigation after we are
through with it.
The Fire Department is also being in
vestlgated, but no report has been made to
the full board. When it is some action
will be taken.
cat present the full board is actively en-
gagged IN unearthing the election frauds.
When that work is completed we will as
body take up other matters that are now
under consideration in committee"
The morning call., 1895-02-01
A FEARLESS BODY.
Henry S. Croker Says the Grand
jury viii Do Its DUTY.

HENRY S. CROKER, president of the
H. S. Croker Company, printers and
stationers, said:
eve propose to do our duty. The
Grand Jury acts on matters brought be-
fore it, or of its own volition, excepting
the investigation of public institutions. l
believe the present Grand Jury is fearless
in taking up matters brought before it..
AS for reform in city affairs, that depends
on what is to be done or on those who are
acting on the question.
at is very much like the competing
road; there is good deal of talking done
until some responsible people take hold of
it and then it goes ahead. The Grand Jury
Will take up every question presented be
fore it in the usual course. 1t is composed
of very good body of men ready to do
what is right and just. The result will tell
whether it is a good Grand Jury or not.
~ think the secret method is all right
Questions can be discussed with more free
dom than in open court; and then news
paper men meet witnesses in the waiting
room and talk TO them before and after
examination, and generally very correct
reports are got in this way, though not
from members of the Grand Jury. A great
many people have different ideas of grand
juries and our jury system, and as to that
you might interview 1000 men and get 1000
opinions"
The morning call., 1895-02-01

and thought of for the last two months, the
date for opening the show of fair women
for sweet charity has at last been definitely
settled as the sd of February. In London
and New York similar exhibitions have
proved drawing attractions, but the San
Francisco gallery is to add to its charms
by having collection of the photographs
of local bellies. Those photographs hang
like a milestone round Secretary Martin S
neck, and make him realize that he will
have to be wilier than the serpent to keep
enthusiastic amateurs from getting a snap
shot at them.
''Will no one be allowed to copy or re-
produce any of the beauties?" was asked.
''Not if 1 can help it, replied the secre-
tary. ~ shall watch like dragon on the
doorstep and the moment espy camera,
both the machine and the bearer will go
down the doorsteps faster than they came
up. The responsibility of guarding so
much beauty is heavy one, but shall not
finch from my duty. The golden apples
in the gardens of sisters in ancient myth
ology were not more jealousy watched
over than the San Francisco beauty show
shall be-"
''There are to be beauties ancient and
modern, on canvas, ivory and paper. The
miniatures will exceed hundred, and will
be embedded in plush arranged in glass
cases." said Mrs. Chesebrough, the lead
ing spirit in the undertaking. "As for the
oil paintings over seventy have been
promised already. Most of them are the
pictures of well-known California women
that have been painted by famous artists
either in the East or in Europe, and have
never yet been exhibited"
One of the gems of the gallery will be
genuine Romney, the only painting by
that great portrait-painter in this State.
Indeed, there is only one other in Amer
lea and that is in Washington City. The
Romney, which was painted in 1892, repre-
sents Mrs Charlotte Smith, one of the
earliest of English women novelists. Mrs.
Smith is to be loaned to the fair women
exhibit by her great-granddaughter,
though who that is will remain mystery
till the catalogue is issued. A sister of the
ill-fated Marie Antoinette, which bears a
strong likeness to the famous picture of
the unfortunate French Queen on her way
to the scaffold, is also one of the collection.
Fanny kemble, the Empress Eugene
and whole host of other historic women
will smile down from the walls of the Art
Institute.
The Stanford, Kip, Whittell, Ames and
Sherwood families have consented to lend
life-size portraits. Miss Hobart will also
lend her valuable collection of the originals
of newspaper sketches by such famous
illustrators as Gibson. Titcomb. Frost
Vedder and others.
The charities to benefit by the exhibit
are the Salvation Army's Children's
Home and the Childrens Hospital The
following ladies are showing marked in
terest in the exhibit: Mrs. w. B. Harring-
ton, Mrs. Easton, Mrs. Dunbar, Mrs. Stein
hart, Mrs. Walter, Mrs. Lent, Mrs Dickin-
son, Mrs. Dutton, Mrs. Fiske, Mrs. Grant,
Mrs Shaw, Mrs. Frederick Green and Mrs.

eve need a new election law, but what
that should be is problem. l incline to
the idea that election boards should be
composed of men of property, who could
not be bought for S. or $40. 1t may be true
that every man has his price, but the price
that the politicians can afford to pay would
not reach men who are independent of a
days labor and little political boosting.
''The gambling evil is bad enough in this
city. But suppose we stop the open-saloon
gam bling. Then there comes demand to
stop the richer men from the indulgence of
cards as a pastime; they are both wrong.
But the small public game seems to be the
greatest evil in its effects and influences. |

"The Lexow Committee would be a good
thing under certain conditions. 1t ought
to be made up of ministers or other public
men who would not fear to do their duty.
BUSINESS men, dependent upon the COM
munity for support, would not be apt to do
the work SO thoroughly. [ think that is a
field for the preachers. But do not ap-
prove of these voluntary citizens commit
tees. They hinder a Grand Jury instead
of helping it. The committee that does
this sort of work should be legal body
composed of men who ought to be paid for
their work.

the Police Department. If there is aught
wrong there we shall find it, hope"

THEATRICAL NOTES.
Midweek Comment on Attractions at t
Different Houses.

MluWeek comment Oh AbtracL1OnS aC the
Different Houses.
Hermann at the California is still the
"boss of the situation so far as public
curiosity and large attendance are con-
cerned. His legerdemain is acknowledged
to be the neatest and most attractive
feature of his seance. Herman is a mas
ter of cards and, therefore, never gets
"lost in the shuttle"
1.-THE Old, Old Story" is being particu-
larly well played at the Stockwell. If is
play that runs smoothly and the different
phases of it develop to the satisfaction of
the audience-which has been on the in
crease since the first night-owing to the
ease and carefulness with which the people
in the cast handle their respective parts.
The chief interest of 1.-THE American
Girl" now attracting attention at the
Alcazar, is home one, made conspicuous
by two well-taught children, Gustavus
Levick and Nina Cook. There are fine
touches of human nature in the scene
where the little son and daughter surprise
their mother by neat supper-table they
have spread during her absence.
Maude Changers mad laugh in the
maniacal scene of 1.-THE Creole" at
Morosco's Grand Opera-house, which
people are talking about, was studied
according to the ladys own statement, in
a lunatic asylum. She laughs several
times in this peculiar way. Heard for the
first time it startles slightly, but repeti-
ton makes ones blood run cold.
Warde and James will only play two
weeks at the Baldwin. They go to the
California on the Sd to produce William
Greer Harrison new play, "Runnymede."
''His Majesty" the Stewart Robertson
opera at the Tivoh, is playing to fair bust
ness. 1t has not reused the enthusiasm
expected.
Scheels orchestra will treat the Oakland
ers to a concert at the Macdonough Thea
ter tonight. There has been a great sale,
and the attendance will be large as well as
fashionable.
The Orpheum Music Hall incloses a crowd
every night, and Walter has taken care
that the time of his patrons is not lost on
poor programme. Roster and Bal do not
serve the New Workers better than Walter
does the San Franciscans.
Mahara's colored Ministries are playing
at the WigWam.

other matters have been referred to COM
mittees, which will act when we, get
through with this press of work caused by
the election frauds. We are going into
that first as thoroughly as we can, you may
rest assured We are going to try to get at
every guilty man we can find. We are get
ting considerable evidence, and there
should be some more good results in the
way of indictments We may be taking
testimony for months yet In these cases,
and we have had little time so far to even
map out plan for future work.
81 am the chairman of the Street Com
mittee and a good many charges OF fraud
in street contracts have been placed before
US. l believe that thorough investiga-
ton in that direction is very necessary.
Judging by appearances there must be
great deal of fraud there. We have talked
over no plans for general investigations of
the police and other departmental fact,
we have had no time; but have no doubt,
judging by the spirit of the members of the
jury, that there will be some good work
done in that way before all are through"
