FOR GALVESTON SUFFERERS.
A North Carolina Miss Gives the Money She
Had Saved to Give Party.

Some days ago the News and Obser-
yer copied a letter from an exchange
written by Prof Harry II. Ransom,
principal of the Ball High School, Gal
weston, Tex. making AN appeal for
help for the Galveston sufferers. Quite
a considerable amount has been sent
to Mr.. Ransom, aggregating $168.75, of
which $4,000 was sent by S. S. Lamb,
of Elizabeth City; $4,000 by c. f.
Lowe, Jr., of Monroe; $32.1O by III. n.
Dixon, of Monroe; $24.24 by Profs. j.
A. and A. NJ. Holt, of Oak Ridge In
stitute, and other smaller amounts.
This he has turned over to the relief
committee and has been acknowledged
in the Galveston News. Mr.. Ransom
desires to thank the friends of North
Carolina who responded to his appeal
for the suffering ones of that city. --e
himself holds responsible position
there and needed no assistance, but
was writing in the interest of the I'M
fortunate ones of the city. Prof. Ran
som was rescued half drowned from the
Ball High School building, but he is
all right now. The Galveston News
says:
Five dollars of the fifty sent by Mr..
c. f. Lowe represents the donation of
little Lottie May Blair, who had saved
this amount and had intended giving
a party with it, but prompted by the
pure idea of unselfishness and wish
to help the suffering, she gave up her
little tea party and sent it to the suf-
ferers here. And $50 represents the
savings of her little brother, Ike Blair.

The postotfice is in a beat covered
by a member of the local force and by
a special policeman who is employed
by the bankers and business men in
this vicinity. Both officers were in en-

office, although they went over the
beat several times during the night.

Woman's Suffrage Convention.

The Wisconsin Woman's Suffrage
Association has just closed most en-
thusiastic convention at Brodhead.
1t was pronounced a complete success
from the beginning to lis close and a
growing interest was manifested by
every one during the convention.
The weather was perfect. the hospi-
tality OF every one was unbounded,
and the beautiful city of Brodhead
has scored an enviable record as a
convention town. The absence of
Miss Susan Anthony who was to have
made an address was the only cause
of regret to mar the pleasure of the
convention. 1t is the first time in
her life she has failed to keep a lee
ture appointment, but her friends
thought it unsafe in her state of
health to leave home for the Illinois
and Wisconsin conventions.
The mayor of the city, the ladies
of the w. C. T. Z. and w. r. c. cor
daily welcomed .1e convention. Adj
dresses were made by Rev. Olympia
Brown, State Pres. Mrs. S. NJ. G. Par
kins of Ohio, Rev. Alice Ball Loomis
and the pastors of the several
churches.
Many excellent papers were read
and a fine poem BY Mrs. Gardner of
Platteville. The musical programs
were exceptionally fine. Much of
the success of the occasion was due
to Mrs Charlton and Mrs. Sprague
and others, for it seems there was no
one but contributed to the success of
the convention.

Directing Man.


Green Bay, Wis, Oct. 23.-Mystery
surrounds theidentity of awell-dressed
woman OF well-advanced years who
made an unsuccessful attempt to com
NIT suicide by drowning in Green Bay
at Bay Beach, summer resort near
this city. The attempt was frustrated
by NJ r. Nejedlo. proprietor of the
resort Nejedlo saw the woman wad-
ing out to deep water. Realizing her
purpose he rushed into the water and
compelled the woman to return to the
shore, but not without struggle in
which he was obliged TO resort to all
the force ne could muster.
Surprising that she was an escaped
inmate from the county insane asylum,
which is not far from the summer re-
sort, Nejedlo took the woman to the
asylum, but she was not known by
the superintendent. The woman, who
is about 90 years of age, says her
name is Fielder Further than that
she refuses to give any information
concerning herself.
