Paine, Murphy & Co.'S Stock Letter.

Birmingham, Ala, May 24-Everybody came down town imbued with the idea that representation was not only the thief of time," but meant a loss of good profits. Commission houses had good buying orders and the clique in specialties, such as M. R., Manhattan and Sugar, were all buyers fthis class. The Changers came in for a good share of this support, and when Lon- don sent in cables insisting that Sampson had annihilated the Spanish fleet everybody turned buyer. The navy department up to the present writing will neither affirm or deny the truth of this but it is known that cablegrams have been received this after noon of some nature. Wall street believes ing on intrinsic worth. The gains of the day ranged from to per cent, the latter in M. R.. Closing prices were at the best of the day, and we are still long-horned bulls.

AETOINETTE BROWN BLACKWELL
this indignity which moved Mrs. Stan
ton and Lucretia Mott to return to
America and call a convention of wom-
en- to discuss the slavery of women.
Not long after this event Mrs Black
well had her bitter experience. She had
been ordained as pastor of Congrega-
tional church, being the first woman to
occupy pulpit, and had been chosen a
delegate to a temperance convention.
She was grudgingly given seat after
fight which lasted for two days and
half and was then allowed ten minutes
to address the body. The delegates were
all ministers of the gospel, but for three
hours they Kissed the lone woman who
stood on the platform vainly trying to
make herself heard. Not for one mo-
ment did the good men cease their Kisses
and catcalls until it was time for the
convention to adjourn, and then Mrs.
Blackwell, defiant and indignant, left
the platform, not crushed, but with a
determination to devote the rest of her
life to the righting of this wrong.
And what do you suppose she had
done to merit this treatment? Here is
her career: She was born IN Monroe
county, N. Y, in 1925. Her parents
were early English oolonists and Revolu-
tionary patriots. Miss Brown Joined
the congregational church when only 8
years old, and at 1 she taught school.
Later she taught several branches in a
seminary in order to pay the expenses
of a collegiate course at Oberlin. She
was graduated from that college at the
age of %, and at 20 had completed the
theological course When she asked for
a license to preach, such as was given
other students, it was refused because
she was a woman, and she was told to
preach or keep silent on her own re-
sponsibility. She took the responsibility
and preached whenever she got a chance.
Two years later, in spite of many obsta-
cles, she was ordained as preacher by
the Congregational church of South
Butler, N. Y. Soon after this she began
to doubt the soundness of the theolog-
zeal doctrines which she was preaching,
and in 1854 resigned her pulpit. Later
she became q Unitarian. She was mar
Fled to Samuel c. Blackwell in 1856
and is the mother of several daughters.
She now lives in Elizabeth, N. J.
Mrs Blackwell has written several
books on sociological and scientific sub
jects and has frequently appeared on the
lecture platform. She has taken q live
" interest in the movement which was
started by the declaration of independ-
ence made by the convention of women
held in Waterloo. N. Y, in the summer
OF 1s48' and at the coming celebration
OF that event will be one of the two
pioneers who will tell the women of to-
day how much has been gained in half
3 century. ANNETTE CRAWFORD.

A WOMANS' JUBILEE.
THE SEMIcENTENlALO OF THE EMAN-
CIPATION MOVEMENT.

leaders Of the Suffrage Movement to
Gather In Washington and Discuss q
Half Century OF ProRress-ELrs. Black
well and Her Interesting Career.
The emancipation of woman was be-
gun just so years ago, and an appropri-
ate celebration of the birth of this move
ment is being arranged by the National
American Woman's Suffrage assOeia-
ton. 1t is to be held in Washington
from Feb. IA to 10 inclusive and will
bring together one of the most repre-
sentative bodies of women ever collected
in the NATIONAL capital 1t will be the
first semicentenniaI convention of wom-
en- held anywhere in the world and will
be a golden milestone on the highway
Of woman s advance toward the ballot
box and equal rights.
A general call has been issued, signed
by such leaders as Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton, Susan B. Anthony, the Rev. Anna
Shaw, Harriet Taylor Upton, Alice
Stone Blackwell, Carrie Chapman Gait,
Laura Clay and Catherine Waugh Nc
Culloch. inviting all citizens Of the
United States and the world in general
TO participate.
OF the famous women who helped to
launch that movement half a century
ago only two survive. One Of these is
Mrs. Stanton and the other is Antoi-
nette Brown Blackwell Both expect to
be present at the jubilee convention and
will probably tell something about the
conditions and the series of humiliating
events which aroused broad minded
women all over the country and led to
their organizing for emancipation.
It is hard for US to realize in this
day of woman's clubs, women doctors,
women lawyers, women this and women
that, that so years ago but seven Occu-
pations were open to women, yet when
the worlds antislavery congress was
held in London and American women
presented themselves as delegates they
were refused admission. Mrs. Stanton,
who was then on her wedding trip, was
among those who were barred out. For
"a hours the English ministers who
composed the congress bitterly debated
the question, but after much opposi-
ton a concession was granted. The
women were told that they might sit in
the gallery, hidden behind a screen, and
listen to the words of the men. 1t was

Her Husbands Meek and Lowly Dodge
Was Hard to Bear.
There was shanty among the trees,
and in response to my hail an old woman
appeared in the doorway and cordially ex-
claimed:
"Howdy, stranger. Climb down an hev
a bite!'
explained that had lost my way and
only desired to be directed to the right
road.
After she had set me right she leaned
confdentially against my saddle and said:
Stranger, I wish tibet ye would do me
a favor. Do ye see thet thar critter over
tharP''
did, although I had previously over
looked him. He was leaning against the
trunk of blue gum, with his hands
meekly folded in his lap, and appeared to
be gazing into vacancy.
Stranger, thar is my ole man, an
we've bin married fer over 40 years, an up
ter last month we enjoyed all the bliss of
married life. We've 1T an fout, an fout
an fit, an the outcome of them fouts were
always in doubt up ter the last minute.
But I'll say right yere tibet when the smoke
of them we're battles cleared away the ole
woman wuz always on top. I always reck-
oned tibet 1 would go ter my grave in a
peaceful state of mind, but it looks now
as though 1 wu5 gOin ter be plum disap-
p'inted an Jest because tibet low down.
onery critter pretended to git religion an
commenced playin the meek an lOwly
dodge. If I swat him with the broom han
die he signs rolls his eyes an says,
Now, hit me with the ak helve, Liza
Jane. The fact is thet he wuz a licked
man before he pretended to git religion, an
he knows it, an this yere religious racket
is only a scheme of his ter git out of takin
his medicine like a man. But what is a
poor, lone woman goin ter do? If I swat
him in the eye, he says, Now smack me
on the snoot Liza Jane Ye can't hit a
man when he's down, an this yere meek
an lowly bizness is breakin me all up.
''Now, what I want ye ter do, stranger,
is ter lean over an smack me good an hard
right on my lips, an maybe thet win rouse
tibet thar critter up an he will rush up an
swat ye on the snoot, an then I will git
mad an rush in, an then maybe he viii
fergit all about this meek an lowly dodge
an we win hev a beautiful fout.'
I declined as politely as 1 could and
rode on, but as reached a bend in the
road glanced back.
The old woman was emptying the con-
tents of a washboiler over the old man,
and out of the torrent came meek voice:
Now turn the hose on me, Liza Jane. /"
