ALL WOMEN WILL VOTE.
Susan B. Anthony Foresees Universal
Suffrage.

Rochester. N. Y, May 16.--Miss Susan
B. Anthony has returned from Detroit,
where she attended the annual -conven-
ton of the Woman's Suffrage associa-
ton.
Miss Anthony has recently received
several interesting letters telling of
the progress of woman suffrage in var
ious foreign countries. Speaking on the
suffrage question, Miss Anthony said:
Il have no doubt that our association
will succeed ultimately, and that the
right of women to vote will not only
be recognized in every state in this
country but throughout the entire
world. There is every evidence of such
a complete success, and / firmly believe
that it will be accomplished in the near
future. Today, at meetings of all kinds,
whether scientific, literary or political
in their nature, women are present,
their opinions are asked and considered
and are regarded as influential as those
of the men. Today woman is a part
of the social and political world, and
her word is as weighty as a mans.
If stop to consider the great change
which has been brought about in the
past few years we can easily recognize
the rapid strides that woman's suffrage
is making and foretell the great future
in store for it.
Nowadays women vote on education
al matters in half, if not quite three
quarters, of the states of America
woman's right to vote and assist in the
affairs of public interest, and in one
more state (Oregon) the question is
now pending, and a decision will be
made during the elections of 1900. All
broadly educated and public spirited
men recognize woman's suffrage with
out persuasion, for they see that each
citizen, man or woman, has right to
consideration in selections of those who
are to rule. Woman's suffrage has done
much good in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah
and Idaho, and thus. if one state is
gained over to the cause each year.
it will be but short time until it is rec
ognized in all parts of the country.
1T is the foreign countries that it
will take longer to win, as the western
part of the United States is broader
than the east. So is America more adj
Vanced than European or other coun-
tries. 1 received an interesting letter
telling me of the strides woman's suf-
frage has made in New Zealand, and
1 was surprised to learn that such a
great advancement had been made. In
fact the question of woman's suffrage
interests me universally, and 1 hope to
see it recognized before long in all parts
of the world

TRANSPARENT TRAINS.
a Sensation at the May Drawingroom
in London.

London, May 16.-For the first time
in the history of the English court,
striking novelty was introduced at the
reception at Buckingham Palace last
Wednesday. An entirely new court
train made it's appearance
There were several of these elaborate
new trains, which will dtsplace old
fashioned court dreSs,SO long prescribed
as the correct fashion. The secret of the
preparation for the new departure had
been we'll kept. The new trains are
transparent and SauZy. Every season
mOdisteS have tried to introduce some
novelty for the May drawing rooms,
and the transparent train is the novelty
hit upon this year, and 1t as a decidedly
daring innovation.
The essential points of the drawing
room train, until now, have been their
great weight and magnificent splendor-
There is now the splendor without the
weight.
Once seen and admired, this train was
determined upon by women of fashion.
The secret has been jealpusly guarded
by the inventors and treasured by its
admirers in order to produce a Sensa-
ton at the May receptions. 1t will be
generally adopted, and its popularity
seems assured.
Lace and all gauze-like materials,
such as crepe de chine and mOusseline
de sole, enter into it's wonderful con-
struction in the place of velvet or bro
cades, handsomely, but heavily dec
grated with bullion and silk embroidery,
as formerly used.
The new train is light and fairy-lil<e
and the effect aimed at is frothiness and
wonderful elusive grace. The train
sweeps its splendid length from the
shoulders. and yards and yards of one
of these g1ittering fabrics spread upon
the floor is not a bit less superb than
silk velvet brocade, and is far more
striking in appearance. Another feature
of the transparent train is its lining,
which must be of diaphanous material
to preserve the character of the novelty,
instead of being composed of rich satin,
such as is ordinary now.
1t was thought that the new train
would not spread so gracefully as the
old one of stiff brocade or velvet, but
modistes have made sure of the splen-
did effect by wiring the transparent
fabric at the edges so that some sub
stance is given to it in this way.

. POISONED BY POTATOES.
Two Children Die in South Dakota
From Eating Them Raw.

Sioux Falls, S. D., May 16.-Wild par
ships have repeatedly claimed as vic
Tins unsuspecting children who have
partaken of them, but the first deaths
in South Dakota from eating potatoes
which had been frozen and afterward
thawed out are reported from the coded
portion of the Yankton Indian reserva-
ton.
Two sons, one aged IA and the other
10, of J. D. Casteel, were suddenly ia
ken sick and died before a doctor could
be summoned. They were taken with
violent pains in the stomach and bow
els, and when dying exhibited all the
symptoms of apoplexy. The physician
pronounced it a case of death from
poison of zymotic origin. In vestiga-
ton proved that just previous to the
deaths a cave had been cleaned out
in which potatoes had been stored,
which, by repeated freezing and thaw
ing had decomposed. The children
were fond of raw potatoes, and finding
some apparently sound ones which
suited their taste ate freely of them,
thus partaking of the poison.

JASPER ON A SOLAR HALO
The Famous Preacher Explains a
Phenomenon That Appeared
Yesterday

Richmond, Va, May 16-A solar halo
existed in this latitude for several
hours this morning and caused consid-
cradle fear among the ignorant, and
especially the negroes. The people
stood all over the city's streets watch
ing the phenomenon, and the sale of
smoked glass was large. The Rev. John
Jasper, now 81 years old, was visited
by number of his flock during the day
to discuss the phenomenon. To them
he said:
God is warning sinners in may ways
to turn from wickedness. The Bible
tells that strange signs shall appear in
the heavens, and I take this to be Gods
sign to warn His people of the wrath
to Gomez
This Interpretation added to the fears
of the negroes, and they were much
depressed until the sun dispersed the
mist and the rainbows.

TO DANISH JEWS.
Gear Decides Upon Exceptional Meas
ures and st. Petersburg Is Already
Closed to Hebrews.

London, May 15-The Russian gov
eminent has decided upon exceptional
measures against the Jews. The first
anti-Jewish measure was promulgated
today, when the stay of all-even for
eign-Jews is prohibited in ST. Peters
burg. No exemption will be made, even
in the case of French Jews.
There have been serious outbreaks
against the Jews at Nicolaieff in con-
nection with the Easter festivities of
the Greek church. The Jews there
number 80, 600 out of a total population
of 100000. The rioters, who were most
ly 1aborers, numbered 5000. They
wrecked hundreds of Jewish houses and
shops, desecTated Jewish graves, and
killed and captured a large number.
About 400 of the rioters were arrest
ed after several conflicts with the Cos
sacks, several of whom, it is reported,
were stoned or beaten to death with
heavily weighted slugs, with which the
rioters attacked the police.

MAY SAVE THE PALISADES.
Justice Dickey Practically Stops
Blasting on Hook Mountain.

Nyack. N Y, May 16.-The corpora
Hons which are blasting and converting
into paving stones the noble cliffs of
the Palisades have received a severe
Pillow in a decision just handed down by
Justice Dickey of the supreme court.
The efforts of the residents of Upper
Nyack to save the Hook mountain from
the stone crushers has resulted in vic
tory for them, and the discontinue of
the Mack Paving company, which is en-
gagged in establishing the largest plant
IN the state there.
Justice Dickey's decision will be far
reaching in it's effect, and will have an
important bearing on the fate of the
Palisades, of which Hook mountain is
an isolated peak, the Palisades being in
view to the south from it's lofty sum-
init.
Arthur S. Tucker and w. B. Nc
Quaide, whose handsome residences are
close to Hook mountain, brought an ac-
fion in the supreme COURT to obtain a
permanent Injunction to restrain the
Mack company from blasting away the
face of the mountain.

TO BUY STEEL ABROAD.
Boston Elevated Road Unable to
Make Satisfactory Contract With
American Combine.

Boston, May ia consignment of
800 tons of steel guard rails has just
arrived from London to be used by
the Boston Elevated railroad in its con-
struction work General Manager Ban
croft says he tried to place the order
with some firm in this country, but
found he would have to pay the price
established by the trust producing
them, if he was to use American made
goods.
AS a result the contract was given
to a London firm at a price which ad-
rnits of the rails being landed here, du-
ty paid, at a saving of SO per cent, over
the price insisted upon by the CONSOLE
dated concerns.
