NEW WOMAN's LEAGUE.
Organized For Securing Various Leg
isIative Reforms.

New York, March 29.-The National
Legislative league has been formed in
this city. with these officers:
Lille Devereux Blake.
Honorary vice president-Mrs. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton.
Vice presidents at large-Mrs. Marilla
NJ. Kicker New Hampshire; Mrs. Jose
phine K. Henry, Kentucky, and Mrs.
Elizabeth J. Patrick. Colorado.
Recording seeretary-Miss Margaret
NJ. Parsons. Michigan.
Corresponding secretary-Nrs- Mar
Earet Holmes Bates.
Treasurer-Mrs. Victoria Conkling
Whitney, Missouri
There are to be six important COM
mittees and the league will hold an an
nual convention in Washington, the
date to be settled upon later.
This is the platform adopted:
The object of this league is to OBJ
tain for women equality of legal civil
and industrial rights through action by
the national congress and the state leg
1slatures. In labOring for this object it
IS hoped to unite many women who be-
Heve in better conditions for their sex
in a bond which shall secure effective
cooperation for any reform in which all
are interested
THE necessity for some such associa-
TED effort is obvious when present con-
d1tlOns are considered. In 81 states a
married mother has no right to her chill
dren. In 16 states a wife has no right
10 her own earnings outside of the
home. In eight states a woman has no
right to her own property after mar
rage In seven states there is no law
compelling man to support his family.
In all states there is a discrimination
against women in the matter of en-
ployment and compensation.
These are only a few of the evils I'M
der which women suffer and which uni
ted and vigorous action could remedy.
All women who believe in the uplifting
of their sex, and all generous hearted
men are addressed in earnest appeal to
give name. influence and financial aid
to an endeavOr to bring about improved
conditions and thus make the lot of
millions of women happier and more

WILL SUPPORT THE BILL
For these reasons. / favor immediate
voting for amendments to give immediate
and unrestricted freedom of trade to our
senate who believe that Porto Rico
should have reciprocity at once, are not
able to SO amend the bill here, shall,
after voting for reciprocity amendments
vote for the civil government bill as mod
flied by the committee, because we must
not deny civil government to the people
of Porto Rico a, moment longer, and be-
cause the bill modified inSureS free
trade with Porto Rico, as soon as the
civil government of that islands provides
a. system of taxation of its own. So that
the sooner Porto Rico gets civil govern
ment the quicker it will get free trade
under the notifications which the COM
mittee have made to the bill. 1 should
be glad if the bill could be so separated
that We might vote for civil government
without the revenue feature, although the
committee have modified that feature 50
as to insure early freedom of trade. But
as the bill stands, unless We can amend
it, We must vote for it as modified by
the committee or else vote against civil
government altogether, and civil govern
ment must no longer be denied to the
people of Porto Rico Delay of civil gov
eminent to the people is denial of JUS
tice- And SO I shall vote for the civil
government bill because it does establish
civil government at once ana because,
unless the modification by the commit
tee, it promises absolute reciprocity in
the near future. 1t ought to establish
unrestricted trade, and it may be that
the house will 50 amend it, if should
not so amend it here. But if we are not
able to so amend and If the house should
not so amend it, but adopt the modified
civil government bill the committees
modification does give us the absolute
certainty of unrestricted trade at dis
tant date. The bill, as a whole, while not
what I would have it, in its failure to
give immediate and unrestricted trade to
Porto Rico and in other particulars, new
ertheless does establish civil government
which may not be delayed another mo-
ment, and does insure early reciprocity,
and so is a step in the right direction
in our progress as an administering ma
ton, and is a recognition of those great
principles on which that progress de-
ponds.

mail with accounts of their cowardly
and dastardly behavior before L came to
Kimberley. But here / find they have
been guilty of different and original
enormities- Here they killed our
wounded and laid their bodies in row
after one of the forays out of town
Here they armed many blacks to fight

dalously fraudulent were their exclam-
atoms of horror at the idea of our en-
ploying native Indian troops.
There has hardly been a battle in
which the Beers have not abused either
the white flag or the Geneva cross or
both. At Spion kop our people saw
them loading Maxims in ambulances,
in order to get them safely away. This
we saw them do at Modder river also,
and Kimberley is where the Beers
shelled the funeral cortege of George L.
Abram, an American. AT many places
they fired on our ambulanceS. 1 saw
them do it at the MOdder river, and saw
them fire on our stretcher bearers in
that battle time and time again. When
we entered JacobSdal it looked like a
city of doctors. Every man in the
streets wore a red cross bandage on his
been shooting from behind garden walls.
There was nothing novel or original
about their seeking the cowardly shelter
of the doctors badge. We have become
quite accustomed to it. We once en-
tered a Boer laager after a victory and
found tWenty-seven of these bogus doc
tors and seven or eight wounded for
their patients. They have not been con-
tent with Iooting the houses of the
loyalists in the British colonies but in
Natal, in scores of instances they have
smashed into kindlings and torn into
ribbons whatever they did not want or
could not carry off. Worse yet, they
have fouled the walls of the homes of
defenseless women with obscene writ
ings. They never knew the value of an
oath or promise, and have not learned
it since the war began"

NOT BEFORE JULY 1.
Santa Fe Line Into Frisco Will Not
Be Opened April Is.

Los Angeles, March 29-The execu-
tive officers of the Santa Fe system in
this city, as also President E. p. Rip
were dismayed today upon hearing Off
cially that the San Joaquin Valley line
cannot possibly be made ready for
traffic before July l. 1t had been hoped
that through traffic could be handled
into San Francisco by April 15 prepa-
rations with that end in view having
been going forward since the first of
the year.
General Manager w. G. Nevin and
other officials of the system returned
this afternoon from a trip of inspection
over the line, and all are convinced
that the road cannot be put into shape
to Point Richmond for at least ninety
days. The terminals at the point can
not be made ready before although the
tracks will all be laid within a month.
The news has caused CONSERVATION
among those affected.

COFFEE HEADACHES.
II Years Experience.

when Postum Cereal Coffee first
came out, I was glad to begin the use
of it and stop coffee, for I had long been
convinced that my sick headaches( from
which 7 had suffered for II years. were
caused more or less by coffee drinking
The headaches vanished like magic af-
ter the use of Postum was begun, and I
can truthfully say that the first box of
Postum Cereal Coffee did me more good
than all the headache powders and 9th
er cures for that disease that had Ia
ken throughout the whole IL years Of
suffering.
Naturally, am absolutely certain
that my headaches resulted directly
from the use of coffee. You can use my
testimonial, but please do not use my
name in public" Mrs. Indian
