An Appeal for the Right Of Enfran.

An Appeal for the Right Of Enfran-
chisement by West Virginia
Woman.
To the Editor OF the 1ntellgencer.
Replying to an editorial headed
Woman Suffrage in the Wheeling
News of the End Inst, I desire TO state
that the only form OF suffrage possessed
by the. women of Chicago. Ills, is to
vote for trustees Of the state university
(Which is co-educationa) and II adult
owners OF board for drainage commits
sioners. AS these questions do not como
up next Tuesday" In Chicago. the
women OF Chicago will not be allowed to
vote there at all.
In Denver. Col. the Republican and
Democratic women are holding large
political meetings at this time-varying
from 800 to GOO and 700. for their presi-
Dental candidate. These meetings. arc
composed entirely Of women, many OF
them taking place In the parlors OF the
Denver ladies. One Wheeling lady, for
merly Miss Grace Boyd. and now Mrs.
Samuel L. Carpenter, Of Denver, COL.
who is 4 Democrat In politics. recently
held a Bryan meeting Of the Democrat
women OF Denver In her parlor, 300
women attending. The size Of the meet
ing only limited by the size OF her par
lors to hold them.
AS to the women not going to use the
elective franchise In the states where
she possesses 1t on an equality with the
men Of the atate-thc answer is-just
watch for the official figures for Tues
day next.
The women suftragists in West 'Vir-
glnla desire 40 sympathy" on account
OF the non ex2rcls. OF the franchise by
women OF states where they possess 1t.
For the women In every such state do
exercise 1t. In greater numbers in pro-
portion to their number than do the men
OF those states. and nohly have they ex-
ercised their priceless boon OF q ballot
in their hands for good men, good gov
ernmcnt and their own protection and
advancement, and nothing but the most
wilfully Ignorant can deny It.
The women Of West Virginia feel no
encouragement on the subject Of their
Acknowledgement: every West Virginia
man worthy Of the name. have given
the women of their states words Of good
cheer and hope. that when the question
of the Justice of granting the franchise,
to the women Of the state. comes before
the men of the state to be voted on, 1t
will be very unanimous yea,

Questions for the Register,

To the Editor of the IntclliSencer.
SIR:-NNili you kindly allow me space
to ask the Register few questions?
/. There is 4 free silver plank in the
Kansas City platform; yet Democratic
papers and speakers are saying us little
as possible about It. Why:
2. II free silver was the only thing
that would save the country In 1896. why
Is 1t not the only thing yet? Why do
VIC hear nothing OF the Crime Of 1872"
3. II Mr.. Bryan Is such n good friend
OF the poor people. why does he eat s12
dinners and associate with the rich peo-
Pile?
4. From the time the Democratic par
ty was formed to 1896, the cry was:
GIVE US tariff for revenue only" Why
Isn't that the Issue YETI
Is. Why does the Democratic party al
ways wait until the Republican party
holds It's convention. nomlnates its can
didateo and adopts Its platform. then
oppose everything?
G. What hast the Democratic party ever
done against trusts but talk? Are there
no Democrats interested In trusts other.
wise than talking against them? II so,
why not howl them down?
I. II governing without the consent of
the governed is such horrible thing In
the Philippines, why isn't It Just rs hor-
rjhla In Nnrfh Carolina Iou!si,ra MIs
slssippl. Alaska, Hawaii and the terri
tories?
l hope the Register Is not afraid to
answer these questions.

Take a Visit to Colorado.

Now. II there are any sound money
Democrats In West Virginia who think
the Bryan Democracy has repudlated
the silver issue despite the deliberate
Incorporation OF that.plank in their
platform. the utterancts OF the distin-
Guished man have quoted. ought to
undeceive them. but IL that Is not sufll-
Client then they should visit Colorado
and sec to what extent the people are
saturated with this destructive none
tary icea. and then they may realize
how difficult 1t Is to overcome the pre-
judices OF men whose Judgments have
been swayed by the specious reasoning
OF the apostles Of silver.
II that Issue wac wholly eliminated,
Colorado would certainly return to the
Republican fold. and her material in
terests would thereby be advanced and
consumed, but the roots OF this tree of
evil have been firmly planted In the, soil
and the process Of ENGRAVING the fruits
OF w!adom is slow and tedious though
there Is now. disccrnihlc some blossoms
OF common sense. and In another year
the fruits OF knowledge may predomi-
nate. and Colorado stand forth rcgen-
Grated and ready to aid In n righteous
solution OF the problems OF the coming
century.

Coal Oil Explosion and Marrow
Escape.
The rliller House Guests Came Down
Handsomely.

Joe Weaver, the Miller House hus-
tier, attempted to hurry up the fire in
the Office, this morning between five
and six o'clock, by pouring coal oil
from a can on the coal. Strange to say,
the fire resented being made light of
that way, and the can exploded, spread
ing oil and fire over Office, setting fire
to the floor, woodwork, and curtains.
The Fire Department was summoned,
and promptly closed out the fire by u.s.
ing the chemical extinguisher, and
Joseph is still alive!
Weaver was standing on the right of
the can as he was pouring the oil into
the stove, and the can burst at the
seam on the left side, throwing the oil
and fire away from him into the south
east corner of the room and against the
dining room door. He, himself, was
not touched, and ran to give the alarm
to the fire department, some 300 feet
away.
Mr.. Frank Thrift, the clerk, was
sleeping on lounge bed in the parlor,
and being awakened by the explosion,
promptly closed the doors in the Office,
and hurried up stairs to wake guests
who soon came running down in their
hare feet without their hair combed.
After waking the guests, Mr.. Thrift
reached the front door just In time to
tell the fire department to bring ir
their chemicals, and the fire was al
most instantaneously extinguished.
The room has that tired look that al
ways follows unusual excitement, but il
was lucky escape, all around.

THE IDEAL TYPE.
OF American Citizenship Was Judge
Lawrence

At the meeting of the Ohio Wool
Growers Association in Columbus
Wednesday, resolutions were reported
by committee, consisting of c. s..
Chapman, J. E. Howe, c. N. Hogg,
VIM. West and w. N. Cowden, on the
death of Judge William Lawrence. The
resolutions referred to his persistent
and aggressive work, his wise counsel
and wide information, to which the
farmers are indebted for the better con-
ditions in the sheep and wool growing
industry.
Reference was made to his career as
a citizen, public and official business
man, as to his industry, honesty, and
integrity, and that because of all these
he was the ideal type of American citi-
zenship, a worthy example for the
young men of the country. Though
sometimes he appeared aggressive, it
was because of his earnest purpose to
accomplish what he believed to be
right.
The name of the association was
changed from the Ohio Wool Growers
association to the Ohio Wool Growers
and Sheep Breeders Association.

FIRE!
A Woman Badly Burned by Pouring
Coal Oil in a Stove.

Thursday morning about 9:30 o'clock,
the Fire Department was called to the
neighborhood of the Dickinson mill, in
the third ward. The frame residence
on Walker street, opposite the Mack
Dickinson office, is occupied by Mr..
Charley Tamblin, who is a brakeman
on the Big Four, and had come home,
made fire in coal stove, and gone
to bed. The fire not burning as rapidly
as desired, Mrs. Tamblin opened the
stove door and began pouring coal oil
on the fire from can. The result was
an explosion, that set Mrs. Tam
Inns clothes on fire and burned her face
and hair. Her screams brought her
husband to her rescue. and throwing
her upon lounge, he smothered the
flames. The fire from her clothes set
fire to the lounge, and getting in the
excelsior in the lounge, set it afre, and
the lounge had to be carried out. This
caused the alarm to be sent in, but the
fire was extinguished by the neighbors
before the Department arrived. Mrs.
Tamlin's burns are severe, but not of a
serious nature.

THE EUTERPEANS, SEVEN YEARS

The oldest musical organization in
this city observed the celebration of
their Seventh Anniversary, Tuesday
evening, at the home of Miss Edna
Hellings. Each member brought a
guest, and it was most delightful So
cial affair. Not man marred the Oc-
casion, there was none to restrain, and
the young ladies gave full vent to
laughter. Several tables were arrang-
ed on which were illustrations of COM
posers and of everything that pertained
to music. The guessing was lively.
Miss Blessing and Miss Gertrude An
derson drew cuts for the prize, both
having the highest number of correct
guesses. Miss Blessing was given the
medallion of "Bach's Preludes.''
The musical part of the program was
good, the literary features were inter-
esting, Miss Hellings was a charming
hostess, and altogether it was an even
ing to be long remembered.
