"Way Down Upon the Suwanee Rib

legitimate title which Foster bestowed
upon it. In fact, it is said the latter

vailingly, to change the name. This
refusal to alter anything once written

Death by Boiling.

In Old England, before the law was
passed which prohibited "cruel and
unusual forms of punishmont," MUIR
derers were often condemned to death
by boiling. In such cases the victims
were chained in large kettles of cold
water, which was gradually heated un-
tifit caused the flesh to drop from tho
bones The last English victim of the
"boiling death" was one Rouse, a
cook, who, it was alleged, had killed
seventeen persons.

This aroused the sentinel, who, in turn,
summoned his brother Masons. They
dellberated until o'clock In the morn
Ing, hesitating how best to protect
themselves. Then it was decided to
have gentle Lady Aldsworth register
the Masonic vows. She did so, and be-
came the only woman Mason who ever
lived. Whether she proved an efficient
member has never been recorded, but 1t
is to be hoped that the gallant Masons
who Initiated her never had reason to
regret their stem.

Speeches to women

MI Mcklnley's response to Miss Lydia
Carbaugh, on behalf of the delegation of
women stenographers from works of Whit
man & Barnes and the Goodrich COMPANY
of Akron is follows:
'tLadieS-I have received at my home a
good many delegations in the last two
months representing every occupation. call
ing and profession known in our country,
except one which honors me with it's pres
ence to-day: This is the first call / have
had from the stenographers, but you are
most welcome, and l greet you as interest
ed, along with the men of the country in
the rightfnl settlement of the impor-
tant public questions which are now con-
fronting the American people / am glad
the United States that the women of the
country can do SO many things and do
them equally well with the men, and be-
lieve when they perform like service to
men they ought to be paid as well. ! have
always believed that was right. am sure
1t is just and l hope the time will come
when the public will everywhere recognize
it act of equity and justice to all the
women who work for their living through
out the United States. l am glad to meet
and greet you. and trust you will have a
pleasant stay in Canton and safe return to
your homes"
To the female teachers from Akron,
Cleveland and northeastern Ohio Major Nc
Kinley spoke briefly as follows:
'Ladies-It seems to me ] might we'll be
excused from making speech, as 1 have
already met and welcomed many delega-
lions to-day, but / cannot refrain from
greeting the teachers who have so kindly
assembled at my home. | assure you I
have the most profound respect for the
ing of educating the youth of the country.
Next to the home. the school lies at the
foundation of all that is good and exalted
in our citizenship and civilization. I beg
you and hope you viii excuse me from
further remarks"

Woollen, of Indianapolis, came here to
make a soun1-money speech tonight and
d Well-organzed crowd of Bryan followers
came out determined to prevent the adj
dress. Soon it became dark they began

howl that many were frightened away,
fearing there was going to be trouble.
Many ladies with escorts fled in great
haste. After the hall was thrown open one
of the tOughS closed the elf-locking door
and people had to stand in the street TWEEN
ty minutes before they could get in. All
this time there was such din in the street
and around the hall entrance that it was
impossible for Mr.. Woollen to be heard.
He came forward and introduced himself
when the noise partly subsidized, but had rot
proceeded far until the toughs crowded
INTO the building and set up a bedlam of
noises, shouting the while for Bryan Mr.
