the Point Judith shore by the lifesavers
in hopes of picking up the body of Capt.
Thomas Crapo OF New Bedford, who is
believed 10 have been drowned by the

There is some belief among the fisher
men that Capt. Crapo was picked up by

time enough has elapsed for the res
cuing vessel 10 have reported the fact.
The Quonochontang lifesaving crew
says that the Volunteer was In good
condition when found; that her sail
was unbent with the sheet afoul or the
painter. The flag was flying, and In the
tiny locker were cans OF beer, an OIL
jacket and numerous other articles.
One of the truck wheels used by Capt.
Crapo i'm hauling the boat on land was
also tied i'm the standing room. The
boat will be kept until claimed by Mrs.

STATUS OF WOMAN.
Lecture by Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease Of
Kansas in TrocadsrO.
Characteristic Address - Abuses During
Recent War Alluded To.

Mrs. Mary f.. Lease OF Kansas spoke
before the Rhode Island Spirltualist as
sociation last night, at the Trocadero,
on THE Legal Status OF Women" Mrs.
Lease did not conflne her lecture TO the
announced subject. but made an incl
dental reference TO the manner in which
she declared the United states was fore
ing liberty on the natives who dwelt in
bamboo huts and also alluded TO the
contract beef and army scandals.
In her usually sensational manner,
Mrs. Lease made a very long address,
and among other peculiar statements,
she said: "A few weeks ago, in the
great commonwealth of New York, the
state roasted to death by scientific
methods poor old woman. The ma
Chinery OF the low sent out ana selected
II Jurymen, each OF whom was as gull
ty perhaps, as the woman herself. Men
tried her, men condemned her, men ex-
ecutel her. There was no question of
the guilt of the woman-I think il was
fully -estahlished-buL- the state follow
ed her example. and followed that muir
der with judicial crime
She then said. addressing the men in
the audience. have come to the con-
clusion that you men need us women In
the legislatures more than we need 10
go there. IL women had been sharing in
legislation do you suppose that beef
canned for the Franco-P Prussian war
would have been sent 10 feed our army?
Do you supObse that dog doctors and
horse dosers would have been sent TO
our fever stricken boys in the camps OF
Chickamauga, Meade. Alger and Mon
tauk Point? If you had been sending
women 10 congress for the last % years
you could not have made a worse mud
die of II than you have made already,
and no one can tell what is TO come"
This statement seemed TO please the
women immensely and they applauded
quite literally.
