The hours for formal calling have change,

Formerly gentlemen called upon ladies only
n the evening. More recently fashionable
men, in fauItless afternoon attire, paid
visits from to g. Within the past few
years, however. men of leisure have been
permitted many privileges, and it is quite
common to see half a dozen young gentle
men paying social debts at hours to suit
their own inclinations Som IL In the

to scrupulously avoid luncheon and dinner

have secured partial or local suffrage in more than ten thousand communi- ties, including towns and villages, and in nearly every instance have discharged their duties in respect to the exercise of the ballot with a purity and orderliness which have won the es- teem of all witnessing their action. They have already been candidates, have passed the ordeal of the ballot box and occupied elective positions as high as mayor, state attorney of state and superintendent of state instruc- tion. Thus far none of them have fol- lowed in the footsteps of man and yielded to temptations, and hope they never will. In communities where they do not vote they are organized and ex- ert a palpable, tangible influence upon parties and upon candidature. What with their political study, clubs, their municipal leagues, their social purity organizations, their Christian Temper ance unions, the day is soon at hand when no party can afford to put up 8 man whose name is synonymous with dissipation, with immortality, with inn propriety or with the base side of human nature. This is largely the result of the woman's suffrage movement. and in ac- complaining this grand work they have tariffs combined. The only difference done more. for the true welfare of the nation than all the high tariffs and low that remains, the last surviving relic of the age when woman was chattel prop erty and was the savage slave of still more savage lord, remains to be wiped away When this is done, for the first time in the world we will have perfect liberty and perfect independence, per feet freedom and perfect equality. These have been the stars to which my sails have been ever set, and now in the coming light of the new century can sec that the journey is almost done SUSAN E. ANTHONY.

 '''Hi, there, young man, sings out Hercules, will you tell my wife that I'm detained at quarantine and won't be home to-night?'
 And Johnson, being an obliging young fellow, and thinking good deal of Hercules, as everybody does, said yep and pretty soon went in. And when he got home that night what does he do t.:t forget all about that message until next day and then he goes over to our friends house.
 "'Mrs Hercules, he said, I saw your husband on the Spree and he does not know when he'll get back

by my own sex in every detail of life. The young men and women, young hus- bands and wives of to-day cannot re- alize how things were in the early part of this century. To say that Q revolu- tion has occurred between 1900 and 1895 is to say little or nothing of the difference between periods in history, between different parts of the globe, between, might say, this world and some other one more barbarous, thought less and cruel and brutal.
 In those early days it was considered gentlemanly to use wine to excess; it was customary and was the law for a husband to take all of his wife's prop crty and use it as he pleased. There were cases, not one or two nor twenty Or thirty, but hundreds, in which de- signing men would marry innocent girls for their money, and almost as soon as the marriage VOW was uttered, would waste their wives dowry in iriotous living. If man failed his erty, and frequently took away from her everything she had, even down to little ornaments for her chil- drcn or family keepsal1es that had been transmitted to her by her parents and grandparents. There were cases where women with lazy or dissipated Husbands would try to work to support themselves and their little ones, and when it came around to the weekly or monthly pay day creditor of the hus- band or the wretched man himself would appear upon the scene, collect the proceeds of her toll and let her go home penniless to, it might be, a starv- ing household. And stranger, still, the father had the right of custody over the children at the expense of the mother. These facts will illustrate condition in which women had no rights and no privileges; where, in fact, they had hardly Q soul to call their own.
 The thing struck me so forcibly that in my youth determined to enter pub lie life and battle for my sex. thought the matter over very carefully and con- scientiously and resolved never to marry, but to devote all my time and ability to the cause of humanity.
 My father was Quaker in an age when to be Quaker involved strong will power and great firmness of char ncter. received good education, but, Iunlilke most young women of those days, was trained as matter of con science on the part of my parents, to lLouI st self-support. chose the call

ront of my life and thought, so made my arrangements as rapidly as possible and took trip to England and the continent, devoting myself so far as the latter was concerned, to France, Germany and Italy. It was a very in- teresting chapter in my life, and full of surprises of many sorts. On one occa- sion 1 was made to feel the difference between home and abroad in a very striking manner. While in Berlin, at the residence of our minister, inno- gently or thoughtlessly posted lot of letters in the official envelopes of the Woman's Suffrage Association of Amer ica. On these were printed our princi- pie: "No just government can be formed without the consent of the gov erned." The German officials saw these revolutionary docu@ents with conster- nation, carefully held them for discus sion and consideration, and after the consumption of large quantities of red tape returned them to me with the sug- gestion that such envelopes were con- trary to law. I found out afterward that if l had not been guest of the United States legation l should have been arrested as q socialist, or an- archist or nihilist or disorderly charac- ter.
 Another great change which comes home to me with ever increasing force is the attitude of my own sex in mat ters not only of suffrage, but of all great public questions. Long ago it was an insignificant minority who be- slowed any attention upon such sub- jccts, while to-day believe that a ma joritv of American women hold that position. There was no organization and no women's clubs, and very few opportunities for women getting higher education, much, less profess sioaal training. To-day they arc organ izcd in every part of the continent; there are women's clubs, attractive, in- tellectral cultured and upright, in every city md hundred universities turn out not only sweet girl graduates, but also scholarly and well equipped women ready to enter the battle of life. The divulgcnce of these facts has been one of the happicst features of my work and travel in the past ten years. During that period have been in many states and territories, and everywhere have seen the same forces nt work and the same condition of af- fairs coming into being. The people of the cast, who pride themselves upon the Harvard annex; of the middle states, who glory in Barnard, Bryn Mawr and Vassar, need not suppose that they monopolize all of these good things. In Michigan and Illinois, in Iowa and Colorado, in Wyoming and California there are similar institu- tions turning out hundreds of alum nae; there are hundreds of clubs whcrc women meet, exchange ideas and keep themselves informed upon the question of the day; there are hundreds and thousands of organizations intended to improve, assist, reward, reform or pun ish, as the case may be. find tho same culture among the women of the prairics, tho mining cities and the great lake ports, as in the old municipalities of New England, and realize that tho age is swcepingl onward to higher moral and int9lectual and social con-

this calling with considerable success for fifteen years. My experiences were varied, but, taken altogether, extreme ly pleasant. One that promised to be very disagrceable wound up in exactly the opposite manner It was at school at Centre Falls, in 1889. There was certain very bad boy there, aged about fifteen, who had made my prede- ces sor's life very unhappy one. He was a young man whose only qualifica- tions for the office of teacher were intel- leotual ones.
 He lacked frmness and had lost the respect of his scholars who, under the leadership of the bad boy mentioned, had made his career continuous tor mcnt, and who finally had chased him out of window. The boys had heard of me as meek young Quaker girl who did not believe in flogging, and had agreed upon any number of surprises for my particular benefit. The day came and entered the school. My appearance must have confirmed the reports that the boys had heard, for they immediately began indulging in various pranlls and antics in which the bad boy took the initiative. 1 called him to the platform in my quietest manner, told him to lay off his coat, and then, with good birch rod which l had provided for the occasion, i.d- ministered with great precision anu some muscularity lesson to this young gentleman which completely revolu- tionized not only his pre-cxisting no- tions, but also those of the entire class. From that time on until the end of term he and they were among the best schol- ars that ever had. This is one of the few occasions when necessity compelled me to depart from my principles.
 In 1S4o. three questions began to ag- itate the American public, all of which were to become powerful factors in the development of the American na- ton. They were temperance, anti slavery and woman's suffrage. l made myself acquainted with many of their more enthusiastic supporters. Finally came to the conclusion that it was my duty to give up my profession as a teacher of children and become teacher of grown men and women. decided to devote all my time and thought to the matter; so about 1850, Wltn sllpnt tlnSe or regret, gave up my chair and desk to take an active part in public life. The first struggle in which took part on behalf of these doctrines was in the state convention of teachers. This was an important event, which for many years had been practically monopolized by men, and in which women were almost alto gether debarred from participating. The struggle was hard one, but as it progressed gained friends and made converts. Then as our numbers grew the conservative opposition reluctantly yielded, first one privilege and then an- other. Women were permitted to take part in the debates, to read essays, to speak, to vote and finally to hold hon. ored positions as officers.
 It seems very easy matter to-day and 8 very small one, but forty years ago, if you had judged by the outcry of conservative clements in pedagogy, ncwspapcrdom and society, you would have supposed that there was revolu- tion in progress which would soon con- sign things to the limbo of anarchy.
 In 1852, through the influence and
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-01-13

eloquence of Pillsbury, George Thomp- son, Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison and other noble-minded patri ots, I began to realize that slavery was a national evil, and should be abolished at any price. I took so intense an in- terest in the problem that in 1856 I be- came one of the regular agents of the Anti-Slavery society. l worked very hard on behalf of the cause. I was in a fine physical condition at the time, and was able to do any amount of work that would have been too much for q weaker organization. I spoke in churches, schoolhouses, halls and barns. Where I could get no room have spoken in the open air from lumber wagons, and dilapidated carts. took part in public entertainments, held de- bates against pro-slavery editors and clergymen, addressed legislative as semblies, constitutional conventions and congressional committees l was on the Columbia river in the days when you travelled in stage coaches and the railway had not yet knitted the entire continent together.

It was a very queer experience The superintendent stood by my side on the platform and as rap idly as I spoke transmitted my utter ances into the sign language. l could see the effect far better upon their faces than upon those of men in possess sion of all their senses; tears, laughter, earnest attention, quick, nervous move ments of the head and face, of the hands, and even feet showed that every one of these poor unfortunates was com pletely absorbed in tho remarks that was making.
 In 1872 determined to test how far a woman could exercise the right of suffrage, and having given notice duly voted. The thing made great stir, and l was made a target for several thousand editorial anathemas. I was arrested as a common criminal and only escaped from imprisonment by giving bonds. I Twas duly tried before a magistrate, who glared at me and said You voted as woman, did you not?" as if to vote as a woman were a variety of high treason. replied promptly: "No, sir; I voted as citizen of the United States" It made no diff ference, however. They had to make an example of nc, and they did. They found me guilty of do not know what, and fined me one hundred dollars and costs, with the alternative of going to jail to work out the fine. was in tensely indignant, and said to the judge: Resistance to tyranny is obedi- ence to God, and shall never pay a penny of this unjust claim, and l never have, either. Strange to say, the judg- ment of the court awolse strong feea- ing of sympathy on every hand, andthe magistrate and his friends, thinking discretion the better partf'of, svalor, never tried to execute the Judgment of the court; but the poor Inspectors who received the ballot were. fined and inn rrisoned. They did not get any sym pathy, and so were coripellcd to bear the brunt of my deed. MevertheHss, the moment we presented the facts fore the president, he pardoned them immediately.

Mrs. Lockery Becomes Violent in
the Court Room.

Mrs. Loclery Becomes Violent in
the Court Room.
Mrs. A. l.. LGckery, the insane woman
taken from the Merchants hotel by the
police authorities a few nights ago, was
yesterday taken before Judge Willrich,
in the probate court, examined and Or
dered committed to the insane asylum
at Rochester. DR.. Lee. who was one
of the examining physicians, knows the
woman. He knew her when she was
girl. She and her husband evidently
had some trouble, for some time ago she
came here from her home at WeStport,
and sought employment. She worked
at DR.. Lees residence for few days.
She has been acting strangely for about
two weeks.
Word was received from her husband
yesterday that he could not come here,
being a poor man and unable to bear the
expense, out he requested that his wife
be sent home to him. In view Of the
fact that she was very violent, and la
bile TO become worse, Judge Wilrich
thought it best to have her sent to the
asylum. She was very excited and
violent at times while she was in the
court room. She is the mother of two
children, who are at home with her hus-
band,
