MISS COUSINS, TIRApE

The well and well worn phrase about
'the ruling passion strong in death, )"
seems appropriate just now, TO the vet
eran suffragist and lecturer, Phoebe
Cousins. Miss Cousins may not be on
her death bed, but she has been very
sick for many months. She is suffi-
GENTLY alive however to hurl one of the
most bitter attacks at her sex in gen.
eraI and certain members thereof in
particular, that could well be framed
in polite language. She has been dis
organizer and a maker of mischief all
her life. Apparently nothing will change
her while life lasts.
It is fortunate perhaps for the cause
which is the dearest to SO many wO
men, the attainment of the ballot that
it was only Phoebe Cousins who said
these things. After advocating the en-
largement of WOman's sphere and the
comforting upon her of the right of suf-
frage for a generation this soured and
disgruntled old woman declares that
women in public life will never prove
satisfactory and advises them all to
marry young and become housekeepers.
The real basis for her attack on her
sisters is found perhaps in her refer
ence to the Woman's Board of Man
ayers of the Worlds fair. She has new
er forgiven those who would not per-
nit her to be the board.
Her charge that it was the methods
pursued by the suffrage leaders and
not the saloons which defeated the
cause in California, may be true and it
may not, but when she cites the fact
that the only state which has conferred
the franchise upon woman by popular
vote, Idaho, is one in which Miss An
thony did not appear during the cam
paign she makes a point which might
be regarded by some as a strong one
against Aunt Susan. By way of max
ing a stronger case she points out that
Miss Anthony has campaigned for suf-
frage in ID states and lost in every one
of them.
Bearing in mind that Miss Cousins is
old, sick, sOured, disappointed and a
natural scold at her best there still
may be something in her interview
published in this paper yesterday which
is worth the consideration of those who
hold dear the cause of woman's en-
reimbursement.

MRS. ED FINDLEY VIOLENT.
She and Her Daughter Create a Scene
in the "Dizzy" Restaurant

Kansas City, April Eek Gambler
Ed Findley, his wife and daughter Et-
ia, and a dissolute woman formed the
leading characters in a melee Saturday
night in the Dizzy cafe, opposite the
Ninth Street theater, in which catsup
bottles and crockery figured. and which
wound up with a pistol shot, fired by
Mrs Findley at her recreant spouse.
At midnight Mrs. FindIey and her
daughter hurriedly entered the restaur-
ant.
They peered into the first booth, which
was empty, and then the second. This
they entered, and an instant afterward
there was the sound of scuHing and
loud talk.
The waiter rushed back to the booth
and saw Mrs. F'indley struggling with
her husband to hold her off, while her
daughter, one hand upon the woman s
throat, spTinkled salt into her face from
a salt cellar she held in the other. She
then threw down the salt cellar and
grasped the catsup bottle, which she
swung above her head to strike the Wo-
man, but it was jerl6ed from her hand
by the waiter
Il didn't come here to meet him." the
woman cried.
Then she broke away from the Find
leyS and made break for the front
door, but Mrs. Ffndley was too quick
for her She caught her by the arm
just as she reached the door and whirI-
ed her into a chair.

Mrs. F'indley was holding her upon
the chair, grasping the thrOatband of
her dress in one hand and slapping her
face with the other. Occasionally her
free hand would reach to the bosom of
her dress, where shone the polished butt
of a pistol. She forebore to use it, how
ever.
During this interesting scene Eta
Findley was engaged in holding her
father back

And she shook her fist under her faith
er's nose. while her pretty face was con-
torted with anger.
Finally the woman escaped, and the
three Findleys went home in a hack,
but not until Mrs. Findley had forced
her husband to do 50 by firing a pistol
shot at him.

BURGLARIzE GRANTS TOMB
Workmen Have Severe Task to Re
move the Castings

New York,April 6.-Two expert work
men will in a day or two burglarize the
armored casket within the temporary
mausoleum that holds the remains of
General Grant. The rosewood casket
is enclosed within three cases. There
is first a copper case, Theoretically seal
ed, which encIoses the casket of wood.
Then comes a riVeted sheet iron envel-
ope, and outside all a chilled, chisel-
proof armOr steel case. This is riveted
securely, and will defy the hardest
tools. In order to place the generals
body in the new stone sarcophagus, it
is necessary that the copper, iron and
steel castings be removed. Then the
rosewood casket alone will be lowered
into the followed stone block
The great steel box was made so it
could never be disturbed by anyone
with evil intent. 1t is 50 securely riv-
eted it will defy the hardest tools, and
it will be necessary to rig up a little
blacksmith shop within the sacred
tomb, and by a blowpipe arrangement,
melt the riVets so they can be removed.

UNCLE SAN GETS A HORSE.
Robert R, Owned in Boston, Alleged
to Have Been Imported at
False Valuation.

Burlington, VT, April 6-An investi-
cation has been instituted by the Uni
ted States customs department with
reference to the entry of Robert r, a
bay gelding having a record of 2:1072,
now owned by w. H. Temple of Bos-
ton, Mass. The horse was entered in
June, 1896. having been purchased of a
man in East Hatley, Can. The price
paid was 81, 400, but the value, as given
upon the entry blank, was only $500, and
hence the investigation. The animal is
now said to be worth 81, 600.
The special agent engaged in looking
up the matter, V. A. Billiard of this
city, told a Herald man this morning
that he had found the horse at the sta
BILE of his present owner, w. H. Tenn
pie, in Boston, and had taken possess
sion of him, having arranged to have
him kept there for a time.He has made
his report to the Boston district, and
the horse will probably be sold.

NOT TEMPERANCE AGENTS.
The Mission of the Committee of SO
on the Drink Problem.

Boston, April 6.-Many references
have been made in newspapers during
the last three years to a COMMITTEE of
fifty for the investigation of the drink
problem" but the public, for the most
part, have very vague notion about
this mysterious body. The people most
concerned with temperance reform are
wondering what relation the new or
ganization proposes to hold to their
work.
The committee is not a new agent in
temperance agitation; does not propose
to take any direct part in reform, being
simply an organization in the interest
of research. Its work is conducted by
four subcommittee on different aspects
of the problem, physiological legisla-
tive, ethical and economic. Nothing of
the same nature has been attempted in
the country before.
1T is not expected" said Charles
Dudley Warner, that any organization
or any national power can suddenly or
radically change the habits of the
world But wise and practical efforts
can mitigate almost any evil under the
sun, can produce public opinion that
operates in the right direction. The first
requisite in any social problem is to
throw light upon it, and this is the
humble office of the committee of fifty"

MACLAREN'S NEW CREED.
Iowa Divine Says 1t is 70 Years Old
and q Hindu Kings Invention.

Mason City. Ia, April 6.-To the Edi-
tor: Permit me to ask your readers
attention to the following: 1t is not
generally known that the creed recently
put forth by Dr.JOhn Watson (Ian Ma
claren), so much admired by some in
this country and expected by others to
work a great change in religious cir
cles, is not original with him. This
creed is about 20 years old and was first
promulgated by the celebrated Hindu
reformer, Rajah Rammohun Roy. The
very words used by DR.. Watson are al
most those of the rajah.
But their reception as issued from
the rajah was very different from their
reception as coming from DR.. Watson.
In the former case we find the rajah
boycotted by all sections of the Chris
tan church as a Unitarian, but in the
latter case the popularity of DR.. Wat
son as the author of Beside the Bon
ME Briar Bush,' etc, has thrown a
glamour over the errors of this creed
and given it its present brief popular
ity.
When religious people sit down and
calmly, with Bible in hand, analyze it,
it will be found sadly wanting in the
great fundamental Verities which are
the backbone of the ancient and vener-
able apostles creed.

JERSEY SEA WALL.
Project of a Syndicate to Accomm
date Metropolitan Shipping

New York. April "a powerful syn
dictate is being formed to turn the hith-
erto comparatively useless coast OfNeW
Jersey into an immense center of mari
time and railroad commerce. The plan
is to build a sea wall from Liberty Is
of three miles. The mud flats within
this territory are to be excavated, and
the land built up with piles and piers
Cement bottoms will probably be laid
when the mud is dredged out.
Then wharves and warehouses VIII
be built on the reclaimed land, and it
is said, will be leased by great railroads
and steamship lines which now have
similar facilities in New York city. The
present discomfort of the dock compa-
MES and steamship lines doing business
in this city over the rentals and ar
rangements now in force will, it is said,
insure the speedy formation of this
syndicate and the prompt execution OF
its plans unless concessions or counter
schemes are made by the New York
authorities.

NEW SPORTsMEN'S IDEA.
Proposes to Go to the Rocky Noun

a story that some London spOrtsmen,

nearly all killed off in Africa and In

Atlantic early in the autumn this year
to try their hand at shooting one of the
feetest and wariest of big game, the
wild horse.
1t is estimated here that there are
more than 1900. 900 wild horses in the
Rocky mountain ranges, and that they
have become a terrible nuisance, so
that the killing of them is as great q
benefit to Utah as the slaughter Of RAD
bits is to Australia.
