SOUTHERN SUFFBAG|STS.
Miss Hay and Mrs. Holbrook-
Blinn Charmed With
Their Visit.
Efficient Methods, Able Officers and
Willing Workers Seem to
Presage Success.

Delighted with their trip, Miss Mary g..
Hay and Mrs Nellie Holbrook. Blinn re-
turned yesterday from their labors in the
woman suffrage cause in the southern
portion of the State.
Eve had a truly glorious time" COM
mented Miss Hay shortly after her arrival.
Al was delighted to observe the ardent
devotion to the cause displayed by the
women of Southern California. AS State
organizer it was incumbent upon me to
note the progress of the work in every
section of the State, and / took Mrs. Hol-
brook-Blinn along with me as a valued
aid.
while the organization of the cam
paign work throughout the south seems
simply perfect, l was most impressed bv
the magnificent system and order which
characteriZes the work in Los Angeles.
Our arrival there was unannounced and
unexpected, but we did not catch our
faithful workers mapping. We found the
precinct organization OF the city and its
vicinity admirable in it's efficiency. The
officers are earnest, devoted ladies of the
highest social rank, while thousands of
willing, tireless workers render them able
and unfailing support and assistance"
Mrs. Holbrook- Blinn also expressed her
self as charmed with what she had seen in
Southern California and its METROPOLIS.

she remarked, land We found it physi-
cally impossible to accept a tenth OF them,
Still we were kept busy. On Monday
morning we attended q meeting of the
city executive committee at the magniti-
cent headquarters in the Muskegan block.
The order and harmony which distin-
guished the gathering impressed nue. most
powerfully. In the afternoon there was
an immense mass-meeting. held und er
the auspices of the general city COM
mittee, which com prises several hundred
ladies well known in social circles.
''In the evening there was parlor meet
ing at the elegant home of Mrs. Fav on
Orange street, at which we addressed sew
eral hundred persons and converted two
or three scores OF voters, If rumor be cor

drive through the city and its enyirons,
after which we had lunch with Mrs. Alice

fragist the three of them. Then we took

when on Wednesday Winthrop told
me that he had ordered Pete TO set me
free, said Campbell, ''he advised me in
the future never to make friends with
strangers. My pocketbook, letter of credit
and keys were returned to me- but not the
money. AT about $3.50 p NJ. Wednesday
Pete led me out the back door and put me
aboard of Geary-street car. l walked
from the terminus TO my hotel, sent for
Captain Lees and Detective Curtin and
went with them in carriage back to the
cottage that same night. Winthrop does
not look now as he did when saw him at
the cottage. He has shaved off his mus
tache."
Attorney Bell had begun to cross-exam-
inc the witness when the court adjourned
until 10oclock this morning.

The Capitalist Swears He Was
Foully Treated by 0. w.
Winthrop.
HIS STRUGGLE FOR LIBERTY.
Handcuffed, Gagged and Chained to His
Bed, He Says He Would Not
Be B!ackmailed.

The taking of testimony in the case of
Oliver w. Winthrop, accused of having
kidnaped and robbed in August last
James o. Campbell, the aged millionaire
OF Hawaii, was begun yesterday before
Judge Wallace and jury in department
b, Superior Court. During nearly all the
time of the session the crowd of spec
tators present was entertained by the old
capitalist, who told strange story of vio-
fence, robbery and attempted extortion.
He went fully into the details of his
thrilling adventure, and his language and
manner were well calculated to impress
the jury with its truth.
Assistant District Attorney Black, at
the opening of the morning session, said
that when Winthrop rented the cottage
nj 4lO9 California street he wore a mus
tache but not side whiskers, as he had
enormously stated on Tuesday.
Policeman G. w. Russell, the first wit
ness Tor the prosecution, exhibited and
explained diagram he had made, show
ing the exterior ana interior of the Califor-
nla-street cottage, where the millionaire
waged such plucky battle for the pos
session OF his wealth. The cottage fronted
on California street, and was between
Third and Fourth avenues. In the base
ment were a kitchen, dining-room and
conservatory, and on the floor above a
parlor and three bedrooms
Campbell was on the stand the rest OF
the day under direct and cross eXamina-
ton. HIS tale does not differ essentially
from that publis ed in the papers at the
time, but it was related more in detail and
with most convincing air of sincerity
In substance he said:

both terms, he never caused himself
to be regarded as an important per-
sonage in it or in the house. In the
fifty third congress he helped force
the income lax, filched from his
friends and allies, the Populists, upon
the Democratic party, but he was
not the original or notable person
in the scheme. In short, it was by
means of his speeches outside, his ir-
responsible, free silver harangues,
and not by his efficiency in congress,
that he attained the reputation he
has enjoyed for two or thee years as
radical talker, who bas coquetted
with the Popnlists and was well re-
garded by them. OF judgment, of
administrative ability, of knowledge
of affairs, OF any essentiel quality of
craftsmanship, of any qualities what
ever except fluent tongue and a
sufficieney of self-assurance, he has
never shown trace, so far as his
brief and obscure career can be fol-
lowed If he were candidate on
the best of all platforms he would
still be only sonorous nulIity. He
remains a sonorous nullity on about
as bad platform as can be con
ceiyed

THE PEOPLE WILL BE cAREFUL

Since that great Democratic news.
paper, the New York Sun, has come
out openly for Mckinley the public
will be interested in knowing what
it has to say. In a recent issue it
criticises young Mr.. Bryan's speech
es as follows:
In his speech from the balcony of
the Clifton house on Friday night to
the Bland Club of Missouri and other
unfortunates, the Hon. William Jen-
nings Bryan said:
ssWhy should you not be careful
IN selecting the man who serves you
in public capacity when you give
great care in selecting those who
serve you in private capacity? ?"
Mr.. Bryan need not worry lest the
people should he too hasty in max
ing up their minds as to whom they
want for president. The shallow and
hysterical emotion which nominated
him on the strength of q few chromos
of speech cannot last, and will not be
felt outside of the convention. He
may continue to appear to himself
what Governor Stone of Missouri
painted, in high molasses, the night
of his nomination, ga splendid leader,
beautiful as Apollo, intellectual be-
yond comparison, great orator, a
great scholar but the people are
not selecting candidates on account
of their loveliness of face or figure,
and of Mr.. Bryan's intellectual equip
ment they are capable of forming
their own opinion. The gifts of ora
tory and scholarship, provided he
possessed either to an extent caIcu-
lated to impress the sane and well
educated, would not count. The
questions the people will ask are
WHO is her" .sWhat has he done p
And they will find out that he is a
glib young lawyer, who has practlced
politics instead of his profession, and
has once lapsed, with no cheerful re-
suits, into journalism. His public
career consists in having served two
terms in congress with no other con-
spicuity than what he attained by an
occasional empty and rhetorical
speech such as filed the Populists
and anarchists with rapture last
Friday. Though a member of the
ways and means committee during

Entries and Weights for the Great
Brooklyn Event.
The official Handicapped Of the jock
ey club, W. s. Vosburg, has announced
the weights for the Brooklyn handi-
cap. The scale is about the same as
that Of last year, which ranged from
Ramapo, at 128, to Baroness, at 93
But the middle weights are let in at
lighter imposts. which seems reason
able, in view Of the fact that they are
a moderate lot.
Mr. Vosburg considers keenan, bet
ter horse than LaZZarone, winner OF
last years Suburban. He evidently has
a good opinion Of Ben Brush, as COM
pared with Handspring. AS to others.
DIR. Rice, winner Of the Brooklyn Of
1894, gets a steadier at 116 pounds,
while Hornpipe, who won the event
last year, and Sir Walter, both seem
to be leniently treated, especially If
they should happen to train into first
rate condition. The conditions of the
race are as follows:
The Brooklyn handicap Of $4,000,
for three-year-olds and upward, $3.50
each, half forfeit, or $50 If declared ;
to the winner $4,000, to the second
horse $1,000, and to the third $500;
weights to be announced Feb. 1, and
declarations to be made by Feb. 90;
the winner Of the Metropolitan handi-
cap, if handicapped in the Brooklyn
at 125 pounds or over, to carry three
pounds extra, if under 125 pounds, five
pounds extra; one mile and a quarter.
