President William Mckinley !.

President William Mckinley is now
swinging around the circle and enjoy
ing the generous hospitality of the
warmheArted people Oh the south, ova-
tions, cordial welcomes and royal re.
ceptions accompanied with great pomp
and splendor, such ~ we're never &C.
corded to the head OF our nation be.
fore by the genial masses Of those
sunny chimes, greet him everywhere
in his travels and rendering the trip
one continual round of pleasure. This
is as it should be, for the differences
between the north and south were
amicably and satisfactorily settled
long ago and no fair.minded person
can fail to admire the attitude OF sin.
cere friendliness and respect they pay
to our president at this time. Little
more will we hear of Mason and Dixon's
line, and no more waving Of the bloody
garment. Hencsforth and forever We
may hope for inseparable union, pat
riotism, brothsrly love extending from
ocean to ocean and gulf to lake, with
one God, one flag and one country for
US all.

unseeming indifference to subjects
that are, if possible more vital to their
interests.

accomplished everything. nor possibly ~
much a. its friends hoped for in putting
laws on the statute books. It has brought
about quiet, orderliness and morale in cleo
tions where 1t obtains.
In every department Of human life the
law Of sex prevails, from the source OF life
down to the lowest manifestation. That
argument is used for and against woman
suffrage. Its opponents say that mans Is
the outer life In the world of politics,
womans' is the inner and home life. But
this argument can be used for woman's
acknowledgment more truly than against
1t. II sex is everywhere then 1t should be
in everything. We need the female ele-
ment in government to conserve and re-
strain, and woman has function In legis-
lation.
Woman suffrage is a vital part OF the
socialist program. When the government
Is the people the expansion Of government
is socialism. 1t is opposed to paternalism; !;
the great socialists Of the century were
democrats and not paternalists. Expert
ence shows that woman suffrage purifies
politics. To attempt to purify government
without a change Is utopian; we can not
get honest administration under our pres
ent conditions. Woman's economic liberty
is more important than her political liber-
ty, but the two 60 together.
The subject Of the lecture next week will
be "Does Socialism Cut the Nerve Of 1ndi-
vidualism?" Rev. w. A. Knighten will ad-
dress the meeting on Sunday afternoon,
after which there will be a supper served
and a social hour, of which music will be
an especial feature under the management
of Mrs. Lottie Willard.

TO GET HIS LIBERTY
Very Likely That the Police Will
Turn Jordan Loose

Up to date the officers have nothing
against Norman Jordan, the young tough
who escaped last week with Officer Rob-
bins handouts, but was recaptured Mon
day. Jordan was thought 20 have been a
member of q very hard gang Of men. and
the officers were of the opinion that he
could have told much about many Of the
cases of burglary and hold-ups that have
been reported to the authorities recently.
Quite a number Of the victims of these
depredations, who claimed to have seen
the perpetrators, visited the police station
yesterday and looked at Jordan, but failed
to identify him. Unless some one appears
and Identifies him today he will be given
his liberty.
"Oh, Mr.. Robbins, turn me loose; I've got
no handouts, but a good excuse" is the
tune that Jordan has been singing during
his incarceration, and, while the officer
does not relish the idea of losing his dar-
bies, he will not make any complaint
against Jordan because of his escape.
Those handouts had quite O history, and
Robbins would not have lost them for con-
siderably more than he paid originally.
They have been on the wrists of probably
1000 prisoners, many OF them the worst
that the local authorities have ever had
any dealings with.

TRIED TO ESCAPE
A Beggar Bolted From the Police, But
Was Soon CAPTURED

Arthur Smith led the officers a merry
chase last evening about o'clock, and, al
though he ran but two blocks, the pursu-
ing crowd were badly winded by the time
they caught up with him. Officer Ziegler
arrested Smith on Broadway. near Frank
lin street for begging.
The officer led the man toward
the police station, but when within short
distance of the entrance Smith bolted and
ran down First street, with Ziegler and
several other officers in pursuit. Officer
Broadhead had just ridden up on his hicy-
Gle. and. on hearing the crowd yelling after
Smith, he turned his wheel and started In
pursuit, too. He probably made the best
time down the First-street hill on record
and nearly collided with the Times build
ing when he reached Broadway.
Smith turned north on Broadway, and at
the corner Of Franklin street his foot
slipped and he fell down. The crowd piled
on to him, as II he were holding the pig
skin in football game. and nearly buried
the lowly Smith from view. He was
marched back to the station and made no
further attempts at regaining his liberty.

WHAT DID SHE DIE OFF

circumstances

Circumstances
A young woman named May Taylor died
in this city last Saturday under peculiar
circumstances, but whether the investiga-
ton by the local authorities will definitely
determine the causes leading to the death
remains to be seen.
The girl came to this city some time ago
to testify against p. H. Lucas, who was
accused of having sent an obscene letter
through the mails. He escaped through a
technicality by admitting the authorship
of the letter. but claiming that he had not
deposited it In the mails The girl had led
a wild life previous to coming to this city,
but had returned to her parents in Hay
wards.
After the acquittal Of Lucas she obtained
employment with family on Toluca street
in this city. On Tuesday of last week she
called upon Mrs. DR.. Bispham, female
physician, residing at Fifth and Hill
streets. Miss Taylor was very nervous
and complained of pains In the back. Her
story was that she had been struck in San
Francisco by cable car. and DR.. Bispham
said she supposed this was the cause of the
woman's pains. The girl also said that she
thought she was enceinte. DR.. Bisp1am
states that she did not make any examina-
ton, but told the girl to take mild ca
thartic, supposing that the pains would
disappear. The next day the woman re-
turned and complained of the pains In her
stomach, and requested that the doctor try
the electric battery on her. DR.. Bispham
did so, but, as the girl got no relief. she
stopped at her request.
On Thursday DR.. John w. Kutch Of 3s5
South Spring street was called to attend
the girl at the house on Toluca street and
prescribed for her. He did not think her
case serious, but the next day was again
called for. He again prescribed for her.
and on the following morning, Saturday.
she died. DR.. Hutch said he thought the
symptoms were those OF pericarditis and
gave a certificate of death and permission
to bury the body. The remains were taken
to Redwood City. where the investigation
If the authorities who looked into the case
think 1t is necessary, will have to be con-
tinued.
