OPPOSED TO WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

Another Colorado woman has
been found who is opposed to
woman suffrage, and this one is not
afraid to give her name, her address
and her reasons. She is Mrs. John
Guth, of Denver, who conducted a
gambling house on Eighteenth ST.,
and is popularity known as the
"policy queen" The great Wo-
mans Club of Denver, with a mem
bership of about thousand
influential women, is exerting itself
to secure the honest enforcement of
the law against gambling, and the
fact that the women have the ballot
strengthens their hands in this
effort. The Denver News, after
describing Mrs. Guth and her gam
bling house says:
"rhis woman, when she learned
that her business was to be inter-
rupted said: 81 wish some people
in Denver would learn to let other
people alone when they are pur-
suing a legitimate business for a
living. If these woman suffragists
who leave their homes and babies
to run about in politics and mix up
with other peoples affairs would
stay at home and do what they were
put there for, Denver would become
a good town. Things were Just
getting to that point where business
was given an impetus by the free
dom of the people, and now comes
this crowd to set the town back
again"
1t will be remembered that "Bat"
Masterson, of Denver, in an inter
view in the Boston Post, declared
that woman suffrage had ruined the
city by its depressing effect on the
gambling industry. On inquiry, it
was found that he was a prize
fighter who had killed several
victims, and that his own gambling
house, among others, had been
closed as a result of equal suffrage.

Some used to think New Orleans
was sinking, and some day would
be swallowed up by the waters
around it. But this is not the case,
as they use every particle of dirt,
shells and gravel they can get to
make the surface higher. The
river is gradually filling up at its
mouth. 1t is very deep at New
Orleans, and large vessels and bat
tleshlps can get into the harbor, but
between New Orleans and the Gulf
1t gets very shallow and they use
dredging boats all the time to keep
it open, so much mud being washed
down from the great States above,
meet the current from the Gulf. and
that causes it to stop and settles TO
the bottom of the river. They are
making a great effort to get the
present Congress to help them inn
prove this great trouble at once, by
building jetties. At New Orleans
the river is 200 feet deep, but as it
reaches the Gulf it shadows to from
ten to sixteen feet. The mouth of
the river is a mixture of mud ami
water so mingled that it is some
times difficult to say which is land
and which is water. This is what
has caused the river to change its
course so often and formed so MANY
mouths. If it had as many tongues
as mouths we could understand
why it is usually spoken of as in the
feminine gender
New Orleans is the most inter
esting city we have ever visited
in the United States and every one
ought to see this Foreign American
city at carnival time. 1t is worth
the trip and expense many times
over.

loving race. The most interesting
OF their parks is Audubon. 1t was
