The following from the Rochester On.
~ Democrat and Chronicle shows how
Miss Susan b. Anthony Is appreciated in
her own home. The reception mentioned
VIII be given Monday evening in Powers
Hall. from to IL o'clock:
The reception will be purely of social
nature, In which suffrage, or nonSuffrage.
or anti-Suffrage will have no part but it
admiration and love, which all thinking
men and women feel towards the woman
who has devoted her whole life to the bet
terment or humanity. For in working for
the improved conditions of her own sex il
is felt Miss Anthony has benefited man
and woman alike. Her labors have been
as much for men as for women, since her
great aim is to Improve the standard of
the homes, to make woman an intelligent
companion, not a household drudge. with
no share in the capital of the home. Many
women who condemn suffrage, and Miss
Anthony as its greatest exponent, do not
stop to consider. it is claimed. that it is
through her untirng efforts that they at
present enjoy the advantage of property
laws which gives them the right to dispose
of their own as they will without consult
ing their husbands. a privilege which even
the husbands of this State do not possess.
Many other laws directly working TO wom-
=
thony. and ii Is for these things. If for no
others, that the women who have the re-
ception in hand hope that all women will
bury any suffrage prejudice and do her the
honor her long life service has earned her.
A number of mems literary clubs have
expressed desire to pay their respects to
Miss Anthony and they have been cor
daily invited. Women are requested to
bring their husbands, fathers brothers and
friends"
