WOMAN
SUFFRAGE.
Monthly Meeting of the
Association.
TRIBUTE TO MRS. ALDRICH
Eulogistic Remarks Made by Mrs
Anna Garlin Spencer.
TRIBUTE TO MRS. ALDRICH
ADDRESSES BY OTHER MEMBERS

The womsn's Suffrage Association
held its regular meeting yesterday af-
ternoon at the II. T.. Y. w. q. A.
Several mem bers eulogized their late
friend, Mrs. Anna Aldrich.
Mrs Anna Garlin Spencer said:
v II was young girl when the old
Rhode Island Suffrage Association was
formed. OF the founders but one. our
revered president. Mrs. Elizabeth Buffum
Chace, today Is alive. This organization
contained women who looked deep into
the problems Of lIfa. It included in Its
aim the general progress of the world for
which thinking people are at present
striving. 1t mattered not whether it was
for Industrial and economic good, for
woman's intellectual ana legal advance,
or Tor womaDs political rights.
MANY superficial observers may think
that since then the nsscciation has heen
dying. Instead, the movement Is broaden
ing.
Anna Aldrlch. clear-eyed, calm, seek
ing the truth, remained steadfastly
loyal TO the post of duty. The woman
suffrage movement meant To ner what il
should to every broad-minded woman
not a movement of sex against sex, but
nearer approach to the will and purpose
of God.
Mrs. Aldrich was one OF the founders
and frmest supporters OF the Union for
Christian Work. She was also one or the
chief workers in the Free Religious Asso-
citation. This has done great deal more
for the city of Providence than the city
of Prov idence realizes, In that it has had
n succession Of great preachers. The
Woman's Educational ana Industrial
Union was also an organization OF which
Mrs. Aldrioh WAS all earnest member.
Finally Mrs. Aldrioh's rare powers were
recognized by other societies, for whom
sne did no special work. The city of
Providence saw In her q woman worthy
of it's school board. and to this body the
city elected her to p.em Der snip. Mrs
Aldrich was also one Of the original mem
hers OF the Rhode Island Woman's Club
49, No one who has sensitive soul ever
can help hearing n oall to some unpleas-
ant, some new social duty. There are al
ways the few who bear the vessels from
one generation to apotner Many have
not the historic continuity sense; they
see not the line of succession of great,
unselrsh minds. But Anna Aldrioh
did,"
Miss Doyle said great lesson could be
drawn from Mrs. Aldrich's life. IL was
to care little for the popular side, but to
have the courage to carry out convic-
tions Of conscience.
The resolutions drawn by Mrs Bur
leigh spoke OF the deep sense OF loss felt
by the death Of Mrs. Aldrich and thank
fulness for tho wears of cheerful service
she rendered to tbs CAUSE

desired that the city purchase this land.
which represents tract of about seven
acres, estimated at value of $l2, JUO.
The speaker, asked II it would not be well
TO secure at least three acres for skating
and boaJing. The finishing and main
tenance of it would be very small, the
speaker thought, and it could be made
into n very desirable place. he wanted
10 soc above everything a skating .place
maintained there, for there was no place
in that section OF the city whore the boys
and girls could enjoy this winter pastilne.
The dredgings from the pond itself would
be valuable, the speaker siad, and he
thought the iden was practicable.
Mr.. Shsdd thought the oity ought 20
buy this land. 1t could easily be i'm
proved and would afford pleasure TO many
people.
