A 100000 INDUSTRY.
n Effort Being Made to Haye 1t Locate In
This City.

This Oity.
President Howard Il. Wallace of the
Diamond State Steel Co., is endeavor-
ing to induce the promoters of large
and entirely new industry to locate in
this city. Mr.. Wallace said Monday
that it was impossible to go into
details in relation to the concern. By
giving out the information he might
defeat the object of those who are try
ing to get the plant to come here.
He said he was interested in the
concern but it has no conpeotion with
the Diamond State Steel Co. Tho
matter of capital is not in the question,
that being provided for. The object is
to get good men TO take an interest to
give it local significance.
The concern asks no fnvors he said.
1t has been learned that some of those
interested in the nav industry are en-
deavcring to locate the plant at some
other place than this city. Mr.. Wallace
will .endeavor il possible to land the
industry here, despite tho odds that he
has to fight against. The concern will
be a valuable one and it has several
offers now TO locate at other places.
The capitalization will be about So, 600,
600. Only 100000 of capital remains
unsubseribed for, and it ls expected that
this will be- taken by about 20 or 4
local men.
A meeting of those interested will be
called in a few days and something
definite in relation to the location Of
the industry will probably be known
then.

There is a recruiting Office for marines
at the Gibson House, Fourth street
near Market. Recruits are coming IN

have been heard from the men at tho

terms of their treatment. They say
they are we'll fed, we'll clothed, and
were taken care of IN every way. The
brilliant achievements of the marines
in our late Spanish War are fresh in
the memory of everyone and require no
comment at this time. Congress has 10

these suffrage bills, three refer to school
matters, of which two were lost.
The professions were not open to
women through suffrage agitation.
Already, when that movement began,
dozen women were studying medicine
in this country, and the medical mis-
sionary was the pioneer. Here again,
it was co. education, not education, that
suffrage leaders urged. As to the
ministry, two of the early suffrage
leaders were preachers. :,
In 1861 Mrs Stanton wrote to suf-
frage convention: 1.-The trades and pro.
LESSONS are all open to u.s." Mrs. Dali
said: ~ do not believe any one in this
| room has an idea of the avenues already
! omen to woman make her equal
before the law, and wages will adjust
themselves. Today women are equal
before the law, but wages have not
become equal. Meantime the self
respecting working woman shows
plainly that she does not want the
ballot.
The raising of false standard of
4 value is not progress, and the suffrage
| contingent is now face to face with a
new problem in the field of labor, that
of q mans right to home and the
wberewithal to support family.
The life of modern scientific in.
vestigation is embraced in the period
Of which we speak, and its powerful
voice is uttered against putting woman
in mans place. The specialization Of
function proclaims the sphere" oil
woman, while it exalts the Importance
OF that sphere. Sex antagonism is the
corner stone of the suffrage movement
while sex harmony is the foundation O.
woman's progress seen in the light o.
science and Christian civilization.

States opposed to the further extension

in New York in 1899.
| Suffrage leaders claim that the
change in laws, making them more
favorable to women, is largely owing to
| their demands, but this can be dis
tinctly disproved. In their published
history the leaders say that one of the
| causes that led to their movement was
10 he discussion in several of the State
I Legislatures of property questions in
regard to married women" showing
that this agitation preceded the work of
| the suffrage organization. The suffrage
movement Eegan in 18as, but in 1874
Rhode Island had passed such laws, and
| Connecticut, Massachusetts, Texas and
New York passed such laws in 184S.49.
In 1881 the suffrage leaders in New
York inquired, ''who was responsible
for the married woman s property rights
bill, and whether any debates had
preceded it," To which Hon. George
Geddes replied, that Judge Fine was
responsible, and that there were no de-
bates, and but one petition, which he
tMr. Geddes) presented from personal
friends. Mr.. Geddes added: 1--WE all
felt that the laws regulating married
women s. as well as married mems rights
demanded careful revision and adapta-
ton to our times and our civilization. !"
In 1S5o-52, Alabama and Maine passed
similar laws. In 1853, New Hampshire,
Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa made
radical changes. In 1S49, Ohio, Maine,
Indiana and Missouri had passed laws
giving to married women the right to
their own earnings
