to retire to rest between and 10 o. clock
and the doctor retired to his own room to
write some letters, especially one to his
fiancee, Miss Brewer, which he was en-
gagged upon when called forth to receive
his dea b wound.
Shortly after Miss Smith had extin-
guished her lamp she heard knock a. the
front door of the house and her brother
voice inquiring, Who's there?" There
was no reply and the doctor repeated the
question in Hawaiian, but the only re.
sponse heard by Miss Smith was a cough.
The door was opened and the sound of a
shot instantly followed. Miss Smith,
hearing the noise of a suot and a body
falling, Immediately ran to the door and
found her brother on the floor shot
through the breast and dying. He expired
in few seconds without speaking a word.

Otey
Space will forbid full synopsis of his
excellent speech, which abounded with
figures and bristled with facts and argu-
ments to prove that-the old ship of state
always sailed NEST steadily when flying
Democratic coiors from her masthead. He
dwelt with patl os upon the time when
the Confederate soldier returned after
the war to his Virginia home, sore footed
and on crutches; and when stung by IA
serpent, sucked the poison from the
wound and spat it upon the ground, from
which sprang the Republican party in
Virginia. He spoke at length upon State
issues, touching occasionally upon such
national issues as money and the tariff.
In beautiful and patriotic language he
told the people of their priceless heritage
as born Virginiaus, a State rich in sacred
memories and prolific of great men. He
closed with n splendid peroration and
prediction of Democratic success in 1896.

TIE GROWTH OF EQUAL SUFFRAGE

While the country is not VET rooar
to acquiesce in the demanda ~ 1fI 10y
equal snfragists it cannot be denied
; ;na' IN! u: movement is steadily grow.
ing IN strength and that ALREADY
"ucn mas been accomplished.
several weeks ago the twenty.nintb
annual convention OF the National
american Woman's Suffrage Associa.
Ton assembled at Des Moines, Iowa.
with much larger attendance than
usual. 1t was called to order bv the
venerable Miss Susan B. ANTHONY
who has now been identified with the
movement for somthing like fortv
years.
In proof Of the fact that some head.
way at least has been made BY the
equal sufragists, it suGices to show
that thirteen suffrage amendment
campaigns have been conducted since
1857 and that four States have been
captured by the movement. These
States are Colorado, Utah, Idaho and
Wyoming. During the recent meeting
OF the association in Des Moines Miss
Anthony elected much applause in the
convention hall by displaying q flag
with only four stars upon its folds. As
she waved this ensign over her head,
among the plaudits of her enthusiastic
sisters, she declared that in strict in
depreciation of the declaration of in
dependence there we're only four
States in the American Union.
Besides the four States represented
on Miss Anthony's flag. Ohio and Iowa
have granted suffrage to women in
school elections. In Kansas an amend.
ment providing for woman suffrage
was Defeated in 1894, but women are
allowed to vote in local elections in
several OF the towns and cities Of that
State.
From these citations it is evident
that the equal suffrage movement is
making some progress in the United
States. Only two years ago the asso.
citation held its twenty.seyenth annual
session in Atlanta. Atlanta Constitu.
