ten past stalked the stage of the Columbia
Theater Thursday evening. There were
those in the audience whose minds went
back fifty years, when Elizabeth Cady
Stanton's face was young and fresh, nearly
ten years before "Uncle Toms Cabin" was
written, and when Susan B. Anthony was
yet unaware of what the future held for
Lloyd Garrison. Henry Ward Beecher and
wendell Phillips were names to conjure
with, and the world was laughing at the
claims OF "shrieking sisterhood," who
wanted to vote and mix with men,"
Like q spirit out of this past came Isa.
tella Beecher Hooker Thursday night.
Feeble of step. aged of face. with snow
write hair, arrayed as she has worn Il for
sixty years OR more. with voice low and
worn with the active work of fifty or more
yetrs In the cause of women, she came be-
fere the convention to speak possibly for
the last time in public. Mrs. Hooker's
words were full Of the olden charm, and
she tried to speak with the old-time vigor;
but the fire of youth had burned too low
and the greater part of the audience only
saw gentle. white-haired little woman in
black silk ard priceless old lace. Her voice
Trey heard infrequeptly.
The exertion was almost too much for
the frail body, and when at the end Of her
remarks Miss Anthony asked her to read
little poem of Whtttier's Mrs. Hooker
leaned heavily against Miss Anthony's
shoulder. The latter slipped her arm
around Mrs Hooker's waist, and, thus
supported. she read with almost super
human strength At the end she again
pressed against Miss Anthony for an in
slant, then. turning. pressed her lips to
Miss Anthony's cheek. and sank, literally
exhausted, into her chair.
The scene was most pathetic and touch
ing, and round after round of applause
rang out over the bit of involuntary SEN
timent, for, quick as flash, Miss Anthony
returned the kiss.
Following Mrs Hooker, Miss Anthony
made one of the most impassioned speeches
of the week. To those who complained
that they could not hear Mrs. Hooker, she
said. vehemently:
1T is enough that you can look at Isa-
bella Beecher Hooker. To see her is a
benedction.'

WRECK OF THE DEMALoGos.
1t Was Blown Up in New York Hnr.
bOr June 4, 1920.

Commander Frank Hanford. who re-
Gently returned 10 his home at Scottsville,
Monroe county. N. Y, from a two-years'
cruise in the Pacific on the Alert, says
that the Maine is not the first United
States warship destroyed by an explosion
In time of peace. He said that June 4,
1929, the Demalogos, otherwise known as
the Fulton the Second was CLOWN up In
New York harbor, and twenty-four per-
sons. were killed and nineteen were wound
ed Among the dead were Lieut. Breckin-
ridge and woman who had gone aboard
The cause of the explosion was never
known. Some suspected that it was the
work of a gunner's mate who had been
fiogged that day for some breach of dis
cipline. Others believed that it was due
to carelessness in leaving kegs of pow
der uncovered. There were two and one
half barrels of powder on board, and it
was supposed that it was this that ex-
ploded.
The Demalogos was the first steam war
vessel ever built. 1t was designed to be
used in the war of 1872, but the war was
over before the vessel was completed 1t
was In use as a receiving ship when de-
stroyed.

OFFENDED AT GEN. LEE.
COnsuls Want Greater Share of the
Relief Fund.


Relief Fund.
Another Havana dispatch says: Some
friction. it is reported, has occurred be-
tween Consul General Lee and the other
United States consuls in the island over the
distribution of food and supplies sent from
the United States for the reconcentrados.
The complaint Is made that, though food
and money have been coming for several
weeks, nothing has been distributed out
side Havana province. Consul Barker of
Sagua La Grande and Consul Brice of
MatanZas. who came here to learn the par
ticulars of the Maine explosion, left, it is
said, without calling on the consul gem
eral. The reason given was that they felt
they had not been treated fairly by the
consul general. Each expected aid for
his district from the American supplies,
tfat 1t is their intention to appeal directly
to the American State Department and to
ask that food be consigned to them in
stead of to the Havana consulate.
The incident has caused some comment
among Americans tere. who regret it.
Consul Brice says he is sick at the sights
forced on him during the last two years.
He has reported the facts Of the case to
Washington and believes his district en-
titled to share Immediately in the aid Of
fered. Consul Barker says that a few days
ago he found man dead of want in the
market place of Sagua La Grande. The
mayor took up collection. appealing to
all classes. but SO great is the general i'm
poverishment that it yielded only $3.50.
Both consuls says this distress must grow
daily and that death will keep pace with it
Unless relief is afforded.
Consul General Lee, when these matters
were brought to his attention. replied that
there was not the slightest intention to
neglect the reconcentrados in the eastern
provinces, but he pointed out that Havana
being the largest city, was consequently
more in need of succor. He asserted that
he had written the consuls that everything
possible would be done for sufferers in their
localities as scon as supplies are available,
but the relief thus far has been nowhere
near commensurate with the necessity. He
has depnted much Of the work Of distribu-
ton to Miss Clara Barton, who has the con-
fidence of all parties, and who Is almost
constantly at work in conjunction with the
special agent of the consul general
