AS the governor concluded, the audi
ence arose and started to retire. Mrs.
Whitney, however. rushed to the plat
form, and with uplifted hand command
ed quiet.
That's just like woman whispered
a bald-headed man to his wife, but be-
fore he could finish his remarks Mrs.
Whitney had made the point for him.
''They say a woman always has to
have the last word she declared, and
tried to substantiate the adage, but her
words were drowned in the tramp of
feet. Governor Waite moved across the
platform to catch her remarks, as if an
ticipating a monkey and parrot sort of
encounter, but his fears were not real
lied.
AS the crowd left the room Mrs. Whit
ney forced her way into the little bevy
of women who were expressing approval
of the blunt Coloradoan's remarks, and
extended her congratulations. The two
shook hands like lawyers after a sharp
forensic contest. and the unusual Incl
dent was closed.
Some one smilingly asked the governor.
How do you like debating with a wO-
man?"
Not muscle in his face moved as he
replied: "Once is enough for me-"
Governor Waite's lecture was not well
received by the audience. His position
was not a popular one. most of his hear
ers being universal suffragists, and many
of his statements were received with
smiles of derision. while occasionally a
buzz of disapprova1 spread over the
room. He said that virtuous and INTEL
lgent woman had just as much right to
vote as a virtuous and Intelligent man.
but that intelligence should be the base
of suffrage. The ignorant should not be
permitted to vote. This was the burden
of his remarks. and his efforts were d.
rected towards showing that in those
states where universal suffrage pre-
vailed the experience had been a disap~
peintment.
Because we have made the mistake
of giving suffrage to vile and ignorant
men" he said, 'is no reason why we
should make the mistake of giving it to
their wives and daughters. This mistake
is fortified in five states, but the way of
salvation is still open, and with proper
effort and vigilance the danger to the
republic can be averted.''

Contrary to any expectations, the re-
Lief was instantaneous used two
boxes of the Pile Cure and one Of the

the only sure cure for piles on the mar
ket. I have been a sufferer from piles
for fifteen years and have been con
fined to my bed about one-hat OF the
time, expecting and wishing for death
for the pain was so great L went to
the college here and the doctors said
my case was a new one to them, the
great pain having brought on a large
rupture. which they wanted seven hum
dred dollars to cut out. 1 was very
much afraid that death would result
from the misunderstanding which they
said would result from the operation.
/ feel as though can't praise the
Pyramid Pile Cure and the pyramid
Pills too highly, as L am convinced that
they saved my life. Before using your
cure 1 weighed only ninety pounds and
now l weigh one hundred ana nifty and

AN ATTACK UPON lola.
Editor of the Paris Temps Scores
the Novelist.

New York, May ga literary sensation
has been precipitated by M Bruno tiere,
editor of the Paris Temps. who, in lee
ture in this city, took occasion to attack
NJ. lola, the novelist. Among other
things, NJ. Brunetiere said:
81 cannot protest too strongly against
the picture of French society given in
the novels of lola. His dominant quality
is force or vigor of Imagination, espec-
tally constructive imagination, but it
must be added that never was an OBJ
server less accurate, less conscientious.
less true.
1.-THE peasants of NJ lola are not
French peasants; his workingmen are not
French workingmen; his middle classes
are not the French middle classes, nor
are his soldiers and officers French Off
GERS and soldiers. We have faults in
France, but we have not this sustained
grossness, this absolute lack of morality
this perfect cynicism which lola de-
picts.
His French people are caricatures-
pessimistic and calumnious caricatures.
He has neither literary conscience nor
aesthetic sense. I do not deny him talent.
but it is difficult for me to value talent.
when it lends itself to such ignoble
tasks
These and other observations of a simi-
lar character have been cabled to Paris
and have stirred the boulevardieres to
the depths. The Partisan journals are
loath to credit the statements attributed
to NJ. Brunetiere, but intimate that if he
is correctly reported a duel must surely
result. NJ. lola, when interviewed, said:
Il have now held the fort for thirty
years and trust 1 shall find defenders
among those who have read my works.
What 1 have done I shall continue to do
as long as it is possible for me to work.
That is the only reply which 1 have to
make"
NJ Brunetiere is in Montreal. He af-
frmed today that he had been correctly
reported in the special kilograms sent to
Paris adding:
L have nothing more to say at present,
save that the sentiments expressed are
sincere

New York, May 6-The first Meth
odist church to have a bowling alley at
tached to the church is the Washing
ton Square Methodist Episcopal church
of New York.
The preacher, Rev. Mr.. Anderson,
who is the first to start this remarka BILE
innovation, is from Cincinanti. He is
an Ohio man, a graduate at Delaware,
O., and at one time preached in Gin
cinnati. Rev. Mr.. Anderson, pastor of
the Washington Square church, mar
ried a. Miss Lulu Ketchum, daughter
of the late Rev. Charles Ketchuna, who
was a presiding elder in the Cincinnati
conference. Washington Square church
is in the old part of this city, once
the most aristocratic district in New
York. 1t has the cream of downtown
Methodists in it's membership. Rev.
Mr.. Anderson has had many inquiries
to answer since it was made public
that his congregation had determined
to build a bowling alley in connection
with the church for boys and girls.
First it was reported that the wicked
thing would be built right in the
church, and Mr. Anderson was kept
very busy assuring the horror-stricken
that such was not the intention.

TREATY DEFEATED.
After Months of Discussion the Arbi-
tration Question is at Last Settled.

Washington, May 6.-The senate yes
terday, by the vote of 43 to %, refused to
ratify the general arbitration treaty be-
tween the United States and Great Brit
ain, negotiated by Secretary Olney and
Sir Julian Pauncefote. The rules of the
senate require a majority of two-thirds.
Hence four more affirmative votes would
have been required. The vote:

A total of SO votes was cast, leaving 10
senators who did not respond. The pairs
so far as obtainable were as follows:
Two affirmative senators being paired
with one negative senator in most in
stances:
Chandler and Clark for, with Teller
Chiffon against.
sewen and Earle for, with Mantle
against.
Senator George was paired for the
treaty and Senator Berry against it.
The vote was preceded by short
spirited debate. introduced by Senator
Mills of Texas, who made a strong ap-
peal to the senate against ratifying the
agreement. He asserted that as amend
ed the document was most Objectionable,
not to say contradictory in terms. He
pointed out especially the provisions Of
the settlement of controversies in regard
to territorial claims and asserted that
whereas the amendment adopted by the
senate to the first article of the treaty
declared against their inclusion, the
sixth and eighth articles remained IN
changed. England justly could claim
that question of territory rights were
still in the scope of the treaty. Under
such circumstances, he asked, what was
to prevent England from purchasing the
island of Cuba or any other American
territory, and, in case of objection on the
part of the United States, insisting upon
the reference of the dispute to arbitra-
ton. He spoke of the conduct of Eng
land in connection with the Graeco-Turk-
ish war, implored the senate to protect
the United States against the proposed
alliance.
The speech made a visible impression
and the impression was general that the
treaty should be amended so as to REM
edy the inconsistency explained. Sena-
tor Tillman asked that time be given
for such amendment. Owing, however,
to the fact that the senate was under
agreement to vote at 4 O'Clock there could
be no postponement.
Senator Davis. chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations. declined to
express an opinion for publication, but
talked freely with his friends. To them
he attributed the defeat to the feeling
of dissatisfaction at England's course in
