AN OHIO WOMAN TALKS.
Goes to Colorado to Urge That Work
for BIN etaIism be Kept Up.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 4-Prof Ruth b.
Ridges, formerly a clergyman, but dur
ing the last four years in the lecture
field, is stopping in this city.
AT the close of Rev. Myron Reeds
sermon at the Broadway theater yester-
day morning Prof. Ridges was accorded
a few minutes time to put before the
people her mission.
Her subject was 1.-THE Cause Of Bi-
metallism and Why the Women of Ohio
Request the Women of Colorado to
Take the Initiative in Forming a Ma
tiOnaI Bimetallic League"
The view ] take of the cause of BIZ
metallism,' said Prof. Ridges, lis that
il fills the place today which the anti
slavery cause filled 40 years ago. That
is the reason why as woman I have
thrown my lot into the work recOgniz-
ing as I do that the gold standard peO-
pie uphold property in preference to hui
man rights. In Canton, o., we had
bimetallic club of ], 500 women which /
formed, and of which the president was
Mrs. Kate BrOWnley Sherwood one time
national president Of the WOmen's Re
lief Corps of the G. A R., and wife of
Gen. r. Sherwood. Since the cam
palgn is over they have reOrganized as
likewise did the club of 2 900 men. One
thing that urged US to work zealOusly
was that in Canton we had the illustra-
ton of men being marched against their
Will into Major MckinIey's presence
where they made their obelsance to Mr.
Hanna's golden count, as he was call
ed Women We're compelled to do much
Of the campaign work, because men
would lose their positions if they came
forward
I'VE recognized there that we were
not defeated but had only tried our
strength. And now we want during the
coming four years to organize clubs
throughout the country where bimetal-
Ism shall be studied. This struggle is
only the opening of a new era wherein
every human being shall have a right
to life and happiness and not as now,
with millions seeking work and unable
to find it. while millions more are work
ing for mere pittance"
We women of Ohio, look to Colo
RADIO because Colorado women have fun
suffrage and have proved themselves to
be capable of leading in the struggle
They thoroughly understand the ques-
ton OF bimetallism. not from selfish but
from a broad view point"

MRS. CLEYELAND'S CHOICE.
She was Charmed With Their Home
During q Recent Princeton Visit.

Washington, d. C.. Dec. At trans
pires that the purchase of a future
home for his family at Princeton, n. J.,
by President Cleveland was largely due
to the wishes of his gracious wife. The
president had some time ago decided
that when he retired from Office and
left behind it's myriad cares he should
seek home in some quiet country
place. So when he and Mrs Cleveland
attended the sesqui-centennial celebra-
ton of famed Princeton university
they seemed to be taken with the town
and its environments Mrs. Cleveland
was averse to bringing her children up
in the city and she thought Princeton
would offer all the advantages of a
healthy country life. of cultured soci-
ETY.. and still be within a short dis
tance of New York.
A week ago Friday Mrs Cleveland
appeared in Princeton She drove to
a half dozen places and finally selected
the former home of Mrs. z. Slidell- She
had the papers made out at once, and
almost before those who drew them up
could realize what had happened she
was on her way back to Washington
with the papers all ready for the pres
ident to sign. The whole matter was
concluded just as soon as Mrs. Cleve-
land reached Washington, and in that
way President Cleveland bought the
property at Princeton.
