PLAYFUL West India Seals.

The water in the pool containing
the West India seals at the aquarium
runs off through pipe or inches
in diameter whose opening is in the
floor of the pool, at one end. When
the valve below has been opened,
the seals take delight in stopping
the flow of water. The smaller seal
particularly finds pleasure in this,
plugging up the opening with its
nose. It fairly humps itself in its
efforts to do this, and it holds on as
long as it can hold its breath. Then
it comes up to breathe, and then
down it goes again, once more to
plug up the pipe. Occasionally the
bigger seal plugs up the intake
opening at the other end of the pool
in the same manner. New York

BOWLING SEASON OPENS.

Narrow Margin.

schlitz Globes Defeat the Naples by a
Narrow Margin.
The bowling season in KenOsha
opened last night with a game between
the invincible Schlitz Globes and the
Naples at the Maple House and from
the large crowd present and the inter
est in the game it seems that bowling
will be very popular in Kenosha during
the coming winter.
The game Thursday evening was an
exciting one and was won by the
Globes by the narrow margin of y
points. During the first innings it
looked as though the game would be
aA easy victory for the Globes, but
later the fight became a battle royal
and the victory was not assured until
the last man had been retired. The
best work of the evening was done by
Capt Schmidt, who rolled up the
splendid score of 278 in eight innings,
defeating his opponent, Capt. Meiser,
by 46 points. The best individual
score for a single inning Was made by
Arthur Heating, of the Globes, who
managed to secure AZ points with six
balls.
A return game is being arranged for
next week and the Naples say they are
sure of defeating their old rivals with a
little practice.

Arrangements have been completed
for the Central indoor baseball team OF
this city to play the Kenosha Athletics
at Kenosha on Tuesday evening, Nov.
%. The Kenosha team had clearer
title to the indoor championship of the
state last season than any other team,
and the showing made by the Centrals
will be watched with interest by the
local admirers of the game. It is the
intention of Manager Gates to bring
the Kenosha club TO Milwaukee for
return game in December or January,
thereby giving Milwaukeeans an

Catarrh.

Oatarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it..
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. SWift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

woman may be ugly or anything else
she likes, and he will not only never
say her nay, but think it all right Ac-
cording to his indulgent standards, her
own sweet will is sufficient excuse for
anything she may do or want to do.
Still this isn't likely to dampen the
ardor of the clubwomen. The fatal
curse of beauty is to be denounced at
all costs and irrespective of any logic

these antibeauty meetings for the first

where they said that the only way by
which women could ever hope to attain
an equality with men was by becoming
positively, outrageously and repulsively
ugly. Would you be willing to let me

like, my dear. Only there's one thing,
you couldn't be ugly if you tried. -

The Hon. Martha A. b. Conine, a
member of the Colorado legislature, has
created no little interest here in the east,
where women Legislators are unknown,
by her appearance in Washington at the
national suffrage convention to which
she was commissioned as delegate by
the governor of Colorado.
This is the first instance on record
where state has sent delegate to rep
resent it at national suffrage conyen-
ton. Her commission, bearing the great
seal of the state, was viewed with much
interest. She addressed the house judi
oiary committee upon the good results Of
woman suffrage and also spoke the last
evening of the convention upon the re.
suits of woman suffrage in Colorado.
Those who have always pictured to
themselves women in politics as being
angular, coarse and masculine in man
ner and dress were quite surprised to
see slender, graceful figure, with
beautiful face and charming manner,
clothed in the latest and most becoming
style. She is also said to be model
housekeeper, thing which croakers
have insisted was incompatible with
women in politics.

woman has right-a divine right if

chief cause for her previous condition
of servitude and the self assumed su-
periority of man is all due to the false,
mistaken standards demanding that she
should be beautiful. "Let woman but
once assert her right to be repulsive, "

dependence of masculine opinion as to
her appearance and go about looking
quite as homely and awkward as she
