THE OLD ANTHONY HOME.
A Place of Meeting for the Semi-An
nual Business Session of the
Suffragists.

New York, Aug. 5.-The officers of the
National American Woman Suffrage
association are now on their way to
their homes from the semi-annual bust
ness meeting held at Adams, Mass.
Several of them passed through New
York on Friday, and Mrs Harriet Tay-
1Or Upton stopped at Bensonhurst to
visit Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait She
was seen there yesterday and said that
the officers had not only done a lot of
work at Adams, but had had an ex-
tremely good time.
I'VE met in the old Anthony home -
she said, "a house supposed to be 200
years old. 1t is built on a hill opposite
the mountain, but it is the back door,
not the front, that faces the view, the
early New England farmer being more
interested, 1 suppose, in getting a liv-
ing than in scenery.
We arrived at this house on Satur-
day, July "A, began work Monday, and
continued day and evening, until on
Thursday.
''An the officers, except the auditor,
were there-Susan B. Anthony, the Rev.
Anna H. Shaw, Rachel Foster Avery,
Alice Stone Blackwell, Mrs. Gait and
myself.
THE most important business trans
acted was the making out of the pro-
gramme for the Washington cOnVen-
ton next year, which will be the eel
ebratiOn of the 50th year of the work.
The first convention was held in 1913
at seneca rams, N during the con-
ventiOn there is always a hearing had
before congress, and that programme
was determined upon.
There are now three suffrage cam
paigns under way, and the national so
ciety determined to go on with the pol
icy begun in Iowa, and to begin work
this fall in South Dakota, which has an
amendment pending.
1.-The committee also concluded to
hold series of conferences in some of the
principal cities, at which national speak
ers would be present. These will be
held this fall
1.-The committee said Mrs. Gait, ''has
likewise decided to hold a national ba-
zaar in the winter of 1885, and made
some of the plans for Woman's day at
the Nashville exposition.
'On Thursday we were the guests of
the Berkshire Historical society al a
special meeting held in honor of Miss
Anthony The members of the Antho-
ny family were entertained by the so
ciety at luncheon and made addresses
at the forenoon meeting, at which there
was a large attendance. Miss Anthony
presented the society with the History
of Woman Suffrage written by her
self Mrs. Stanton and other old work.
ers On the following day the Antho-
ny family had a reunion in the door
yard of the old home. There was a ban
quet with toasts, and altogether a jolly
time
Mrs. Upton will remain few days
in Bensonhurst and then go to her
home in Warren, o.

Illinois Senator Sails For Eu-

Harshly Criticises the Presi-

CANNOT GET A THING
Believes Offices in Chicago Were
All Promised
By Hanna and Mckinley Before
the Election.
CANNOT GET A THING

New York, Aug. 5.-The American line
steamship ST. Paul sailed from this port
today for Southampton. She had among
her passengers Senator Cullen of Illi-
nois; Senator HawIey of Connecticut;
Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island and
Representative John Dalzen of Pitts
burg.
Senator Cullom said he was on pleasure
bent and that he would be back in Octo-
Der. If our flag was up in Hawaii, he
was glad of it, and hoped it would not be
taken down again.
Regarding his relations to the admins
tration, he said:
81 have not been able to get the presi-
dent, in single instance, in the selection
of consuls to listen to what 1 had to say,
and carry out my wishes.
81 am utterly Disguised at the way
things have been going here in the way
of consulships. have never known any,
thing like it, and am unable to account
for it.
But the truth is, as I believe, the ap-
pointments that have been made for Chi
cago were all promised by Hanna and Nc
Kinley before the election, probably be-
fore the convention.
Il have labored with the president,
talked with him, and told him the gang
he was appointing was not worth a snap,
either for politics or anything else, and
yet it seemed to make impression on
his mind in his selections.
He has never allowed the state depart
ment to settle a single consulship. He
gives his orders to the department for
the selection of his men, and they carry
out his programme.
1.-THE whole south end of Illinois has
not got single appointment And have
the president two or three times, to get
him to make any.
after the batch was appointed at Chi
cago I tried to get some appointments
down in the country, but up to this time
have not secured a single man.
Mckinley seems to like to appoint
scalawags to office from Illinois"

PREACHER WAS ANGRY.
An Angry New Jersey Parson Rurls
Epithets From the Pulpit

Camden, N. J., Aug. 5.-'"There are
liars in this church, or those who hold
bills against it are liars. Either this
whole community is a set of liars or
some of the members of this church are
liars, and I hold in my possession evil
dence enough to send some of them to
state prison.
These sentences came from the Rev
George A. Petit as he stood with dis
heveled hair and clutched fists in the
pulpit of the Memorial Methodist Prot
estant church Sunday. The congrega-
ton was in uproar and for time
there was probabilities of serious con-
sequences, but oil was poured upon the
troubled waters. It was simply an
armed truce, however, and the trouble
has only begun.
When the story of the difficulties in
the church came out through the
stormy meeting of the official board
last Thursday night, Pastor Petit de-
clined to make any statement of his
side.
He said he would defer it until Sun
day morning. The trouble arose over
the pastor charging John Watson, SUI
perintendent, and Mrs. Mary Morgan,
treasurer, with being short in their ac-
counts.

FORMING A MALT TRUST.
80 Per Cent of the Malt Output of
the Country Represented at
Meeting Today.

New York, Aug. Representative
of large mailing firms met at the Hotel
Manhattan in this city yesterday by
instigation of Seymour Scott of Lyons,
N. Y, and took the first steps to close a
combination.
The firms represented were: The Mil
waukee Malt and Grain company, the
Kraus-Merkel Mailing company, the
Hansel Hop and Malt company, and
William Gerlach & Co, of Milwaukee;
pany of WATERFOWL, the William RAJ
her Sons company, and the H. H. Petit
Mailing company also of Wisconsin;
the w. H. Purcell company, Rice & Bull

pany, Hales & Curtis, John Garden, Jr..
Garden Mailing company, 1. K. Aaron
& Co, and A. Schulz & Co, Chicago; ].
Weyl & Co. of Pittsburg, Pa: Jacob
Weschler of Erie, Pa; Curtis Estate of
Buffalo, N. Y; c. L. Warner Mailing
company of Syracuse, N. Y, and the
Schengen Mailing company of Hamil
ton, Ont.
These firms represent about so per
cent of the malt output of the United
States, which averages 80 million
bushels. The glucose trust is supposed
to be behind this proposed combination
of matters.
Glucose enters largely into the manu-
facture of beer as substitute for malt
and the idea, it is said, is to have both
products under control. Nothing def
mite was done today except to propose
combination. It is as yet only a pos
sibility. The temporary chairman was

FRISCO'S HIGH TAXES. -
Liberal Appropriations Raise the Tax
Rate to Over So Per Hundred.

San Francisco, Aug. 5.-Owners of
we're shock this morning when they
learned that the estimates for the cur
rent year would raise the tax levy to
over 81 per 500 on valuation. This
huge tax is made necessary by the lib
era1 appropriations for all departments
of the city government and also extra
amounts for various improvements.
Among these are $4OO, 900 for the park
city and county hospital, and $590,000
for new school houses and repairs.
Although the supervisors We're elected
on a pledge that they would keep the
tax levy down to 81, they calmly say
this, is impossible. The local rate will
be $1.67 per $500 on an assessed valua
ton of $345, 900, 900 and the state tax
will lift the total above 81. This will
go through unless the popular clamor
should lead to a reduction.

SILvER'S NEW RECORD.
Touches the Lowest Point IN the
History of the Country.

New York. Aug. 5.-Silver certificates
sold on the stock exchange yesterday at
81 and bar silver was quoted at 81 as
against 572s as the low record last
week. The price of Mexican dollars al
so receded to 4414. These are all new
low price records. Bullion dealers as
sert that there is no especially heavy Of
ferings of silver in the world to account
for the continued fall in price but that
there is practically no demand. The
failure of the crop in India and the alb
sence of the exports from that country
takes away the demand for silver to
pay for Indian commodities China al
so is exporting very few commodities,
the deamndS for her tea crop made al
most no impression on the silver mar
ket. Japan is absorbing gold at a
premium to convert her currency and
is thus taken out of the ranks of silver
consumers, though dealers believe that
Japan will find a use in her currency
for her present stocks of silver and will
not be in the worlds market as a sell

TO SHUT OUT OUR BIKES.
Germany is Contemplating a Prohibit
ton Tariff on Anne ricau Wheels.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Consul General
De Kay at Berlin writes to the state
department at some length concerning
the efforts that are being made in Ger
many to prevent the importation and
sale of American bicycles in that coun-
try.
Several schemes have been devised
and the probabilities are that increas-
ed tariff rates to be imposed in some
form will be adopted to carry out the
desires of the Germans.
Mr.. De Kay also suggests that some
international plan should be adopted to
protect American bicycle trademarks
in Germany.

Lafayette, Ind, Aug. 5.-Evangelist
Stuart, who is conducting services at
the Battle Ground camp meeting, in
his sermon today violently assailed the
bicycle, which, he said, was productive
of immortality.
He declared many an innocent girl

The savage denunciation was includ-
ed in a vigorous sermon on women. The
evangelist criticised the new woman

Latter day costumes and social diver
sions came in for a share of cauStic
criticism. The camp meeting closes

OXEN IN YOUR POCKETS.
Beeves Reduced to Tiny Tablets.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-A Northside drug
gist of this city has discovered a meth
cd of reducing beef to the form of tab
lets.
He is keeping the preparation secret
until he can protect it by patents. His
tablets are about as big as a nickel,
but a trif1e thicker and six of them
have sufficed Mr.. Fry for his breakfast
each morning for the last two weeks.
He says that each tablet has the sus-
tanning power of a quarter pound of
beef
The tablets are very light, and man
could carry the equivalent of two en-
tire beeves.
Just what the ingredients of the tab
lets are Mr.. Fry declines to tell, but
he declares that every particle of the
condensed food is nutritive and health
full.

Young Men With "Bean Shooters"
Said to be Responsible for
Many Runawavs.

A cause has been found for the fire.
quent runaways of the past month. IT
has been found that young men are in
the habit of gathering on street cor
ners in the evening and with ''bean-
shooters" pelting passing horses. Some
times buckshot or pins are used. The
weapon makes no noise and conse-
unnOticed
o. w. Hit was driving along Seventh
street two or three evenings ago when
suddenly the animal sprang into the
air and tore down the street. He sue
ceeded in stopping the horse, but the
next morning he found a swelling on
the horses side undoubtedly caused by
buckshOt from a ''bean-shooter." Hit
noticed some young men on the street
corner, but did not connect them with
the frantic actions of his horse.
A Iopeka man who does a great deal
of driving said today to a Journal re-
porter:
"A horse, if inclined to be spirited.
when struck with a shot or pin, is very
liable to make lunge, and several
nave been noticed to act as if they
had been struck with something of the
kind Some very narrow escapes from
runaways have occurred, which were

the streets by reason of having been
struck in this manner by some mis-

1t may be that the disastrous rl1na-
ways in Topeka are due to this cause.
Perhaps the deaths that have resulted
are really due to young men in whom
the spirit of devilishness has become
