MANY FAMOUS WOMEN
Will Take Part In the DeIib-
erations And Will Try To
Extend Woman Suffrage
To Our Colonies.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, April 10
One week from today Grand Rapids
will be the mecca of the advocates OF
woman suffrage. On that day will
open the thirty-first annual convention
of the National Woman's Suffrage as
sociation which will bring to this city
q galaxy of famous women, including
the venerable Susan B. Anthony, Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait of New York,
Mrs. May Wright Sewall of Indiana
polls, Rev. Anna Howard Shaw OF
Michigan. Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton
of Ohio, Mrs. Sarah Clay Bennett and
Miss Laura Clay of Kentucky, and
Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery Of Philadel-
phia.
Miss Anthony and her sister workers
expect the coming convention to be
most notable one in the history OF the
association. Despite the fact that the
equal suffrage advocates are prohibit
ed from taking an effective part in the
political controversy over the terrific
rial expansion problem they do not
propose to remain altogether passive.
It has already been decided that the
extension of woman suffrage and laws
to promote the welfare Of the women
in Cuba and the Philippines will be
among the first subjects to receive the
attention of the convention.
The local entertainmert committees
are busily engaged in completing the
arrangements for the reception and en-
tertainment of the visitors. The board
of trade and other commercial bodies
of the city have contributed literally
toward the expenses of the convention
and it is promised that
all officers, speakers and dele
ates shall have an abundance of free
entertainment.
Already applications for accomoda-
tions have been received from scores of
delegates, and the indications are that
every state and territory of the union,
from Maine to California, will be fully |
by accredited delegates.

THE WORKS ATLERDO.
Partially Destroyed By Fire On Monday

Because of the cruelty known to be
used by the Filipinos towards their pris-
oners 1t will be most grateful sur
prise to naval officers to learn that the
heads of Lieut.. Gilmore and the 9TH
ers have not been cut off and their bod
les mutilated.
Instructions have been sent to Dewey
to use every possible effort to ascer-
tain if the party are still alive, and if
so to secure their release if possible,
either by ransom or sin exchange for
some of the insurgents held by the
American.
Otis and Dewey have about 1 900
Filipino prisoners in their posses
sion.
AguinaldO's .well-known reputation
for feathering his own nest leads to the
belief, however, that he will prefer to
listen to overtures for the puschase of
the freedom of the Americans. The
president has at his disposal 5000, 900
for extraordinary expenses and some of
this money can be used in ransoming
Gilmore and his companions if they
are still alive.
PARIS, April 19.-The American
embassy here is not negotiating with
AgOncillo. The Filipino agent is here
to arrange for'the ransom of Lieutenant
Gilmore and a cutters crew, who are
believed to have been taken prisoners

Last Nights Concert.

The concert given by the Monday
Night Chorus club, for the benefit of
the Presby terian church, last night
was decided success artistically and
1t Is to be hoped was SO financially.
The chorus work was even and well
sustained. There was every evidence
of careful training, aad Mrs. Baker
has used her material to good eff.
feet. The last chorus was q difficult
one, and it was very we'll given.
Mrs. Cohen sang her several solo
parts with excellent effect, and Mrs.
Maggi's wonderful voice in tie song
from Faust delighted the audience.
Mrs. Bakers own work is well
known. Her selection was q favorite
and was we'll received.
Mrs. Goodman Is a thorough artist,
and music lovers never tire of her
work on the piano The
quartet OF women voices was some-
thing OF a novelty to most, and the
applause that compelled
a second appearance was a sincere tes-
timontal of appreciation.
Miss Canady in an Obligato accom-
paniment and in her solo numbers
played with grace and skill. The mill
tary music of the angelus attachment
to piano was spiritediand pleasing. AL
together Mrs. Baker Is to be congratu-
lated on her success as directress.
Special notice must be given to
Mrs. Gillespie's work .aS accOmpanist.
The position is one of the most difficult
to ill: the work is eXacting and ard
nous, and is too often a thankless task.
Mrs Gillespie has worked hard for the
success of the chorus and with Mrs,
Baker she deserves to be rewarded
with public appreciation at least.

EASIER MONEY.

Relief is promised in the way of the
removal of the stringency in the money
market by the statement that within
short time the money drawn from
the financial institutions of the east
for the movement of crops and other
purposes in the west, will find its way
back to New York and Boston.
The treasury officials say that the
return is somewhat later this year than
usual, but meantime, no eXigency ex-
lists for any relief measures on the part
of the government, and pending an ext
gency, no movement in that direction
is contemplated. AS soon as the great
amount of money which has been used
in the west begins to return to the
banks in the east money will be easier
and matters will resume their normal
condition. 1t is said that the OUTLAWS
of the governments were about equal
to its receipts, which shows of course,
that the department is not boarding
any great amount Of money.
The fact that the holders of the New
York banks are $2.5O0,00O below their le-
gal requirements, is not matter of
special significance. If they were that
amount in excess of the requirements,
the difference would be only $1,000, 900,
not great amount when their total
legal holdings are approximately $780,
600, 900.

Gwilym Miles, the little Welsh bari
tone, who sang the title part in Hora
ito 'Parkers king Trojan" at the re-
cent Worcester musical festival, is be-
coming artistically big. One of his ad-
mirers remarked at the close of his
performance here, Miles is short on
inches, but he's mighty long on voice"
Now comes the musical critic in the
Concert Goer and explains the secret
of the little baritone's voice power in
this way: 1t is not that his voice is a
misfit for his stature, nor is it true
that he has a patent resonator con-
cealed about his person. 1t is just be-
cause he has never become afflicted
with that fearful malady vulgarly
called big head" so prevalent among
singer folk, and so does not live in the
belief that he knows it all. He is ever
striving to work out the true science of
musical development. He is an in
veterate student. He is his own Sc
verest critic and while the plaudits
of the public are still ringing in his
ears, he is thinking how he can do bet
ter next time. So he is making the
most of his artistic possibilities.
Truer words were never penned, and
some day, when Gwilym Miles stands
among the acknowledged singers of
the world, it can be said in all honesty
that it was hard work and absence of
the big head" that put him there. 1t
is worth noting at this time that his
performance at the Metropolitan Opera
house was not in any way typical OF
his best work AS a matter of fact, it
is known to a few of his intimate
friends that he arose from a sick bed
to fill the engagement and was hardly
able to sing. 1t may have been in
judicious, but with characteristic pluck
he tried to keep his engagement, and
it is to be hoped that he will have an
other opportunity to redeem himself

TO FIGHT HARNSWORTH.

The London Daily Mail, one of the
most extensively circulated papers in
all England, is about to meet a brisk
competition in it's own field that will
be based for the first time in the news
paper history of England, upon Ameri-
can ideas. Arthur Pearson, known the
whole world over as the publisher Of
Pearson's Magazine, announces a new
half-penny morning daily, and declares
most emphatically that it will be run
as a direct competitor of the Daily
Mail. His representatives are now in
America picking up American newspa-
per ideas There is no question, iudg-
ing from Mr.. Pearsons work hereto
fore, that he will make things lively
and interesting for the Daily Mail
The proprietor of the Mail is Alfred
Harnsworth, a young Englishman only
SO, who has already achieved a fortune
and is spending it pretty much as he
likes. He is a thoroughly wide-awake
journalist, boasting of a very slender
education in a scholastic way, but of a
most admirable training in so far as
journalism is concerned. He founded
the Daily Mail, a free lance newspa-
per, when he was so years of age and
as he had already purchased the Daily
News and owns many provincial jour
nails, he controls a powerful newspaper
syndicate. He possessed the one fac
ulty the lack of which has prevented
so many from reaching the successful
mark in journalist. He is man of
ideas. He it was who gave the Wind
ward to Lieut.. Peary on his last Arctic
trip. A very companionable man, he
has the most remarkable ability for ex-
tracing information from people whom
he knows. 1t is rumored now that he
purposes to challenge for the American
cup.

SOUND . CURRENCY.

The Charleston News and Courier
makes a good point in the interest of a
sound currency at the expense of the
Atlanta Constitution. The Constitution
publishes an account of the capture of
the eounterfeiting outfit within three
miles of Atlanta, and in it's comments
upon it remarked that For seven or
eight months a lot of counterfeited sill
yer dollars and half dollars had been
fioated over the city, and the spurious
money was pronounced the best that
had ever been put in circulation. The
money, while trifie lighter than the
good coin, had genuine ring when
dropped upon the floor" and to this the
News and Courier neatly replies:
We do not blame the counterfeiters
for establishing their plant near At
lanta. They had reason to hope that
they would be secure from interference
and arrest. The esteemed Constitution
has been preaching for several years
the gospel Of cheap money, and az the
Atlanta made money had the genuine
ring when dropped upon the floor" the
gentlemen who have fallen into the
hands of the United States detectives
will think it hardly fair that they
should be subjected to prosecution. in

THE LITTLE MINISTER"

Gentility, good breeding, clean plays
footlights, is growing to be the factor
which brings to the front of the foot
lights the same elements in the largest
numbers. Last night, at the Worcester
theatre, there was an immense audi
ence, filling the house from pit to
dome, that from the standpoint of aris-
tocratic good breeding was in exact
harmony with the delightful atmos-
phere which surrounded the play and
the players. Such a concourse of good
people going to see a good play by
good people. must have a strong effect
upon the morals of the theatre and
the commonwealth at large. 1t dem
onstrates that the better is more ca
gerly sought by the intelligent and we'll
bred, and proves that the theatre is.

Something must be left to the irnag-

pie in a novel as in a play. and ii is
growing to be deemed unnecessary that

that of the actress. She interprets If

The play itself may be said to have
no purpose but to charm. 1t has no
problem to set forth in lurid characters
it is not sprinked with epigrams nor
burdened with tiresome character
sketches. 1t is the simple story of n
winsome lass and love-born man. and
Mr.. Barrie, the author, and Miss Adams
between them, have succeeded in max

Mr.. Barrie has adhered closely to the
plot of his story though some changes

BUSY TIMES.

The large order placed for steel rails
will keep the furnaces and mills busy
the greater part of next year Not
that 500, 900 tons of rails represent a
very large total of capacity, but when
added to the other business already in
sight, it seems that the furnace capa-
city will be taxed to the utmost, as
it has been this year. The heavy
traffic of this year and last has worn
the railroads, rendering new rails nee
essary, and at the same time yielding
revenue to pay for them.-Pittshurg
Dispatch.
Here is a picture of prosperity in
deed, from the busiest section of a
busy country. Thus does prosperity
act and react through an endless series,
constantly augmenting the tide, unless
something happens to destroy the con-
fidence which is the cornerstone of all
business and commerce.

BOUTWELL, DISCOURAGED.

Mr.. Boutwell, the side partner of At

discouraged over the result of the cleo
ton. In recent letter to friend, in
which he discussed the question Of how
"aunties" could accomplish their pur-
pose, whatever it is, he said: First
of all, we must get popular judgment
against Mckinley; as long as the peo-
pie are with him, there is no hope"

ties in Ohio, New York, NeT Jersey,
Pennsylvania and the other states do
not Indicate that it will be practicable
