crowds this evening will move about
the exhibits as rapidly as possible and
thus facilitate accommodating all
comers.
The street carnival promises 10 be a
rare event. II will consist Of scores Of
children's decorated wheels, floats,
chariots, etc. Among the floats will be
displays by the following named fra
ternal orders Of the feminine persuasion: !:

Chinatown will be represented with a
floral turnout in charge Of Gee, the man
OF fish. Coontown will also take hand,
aud the whole fiesta will be led off by

Convention Notes.
Governor Roosevelt of New York. the
only Teddy, is in favor of enfranchising wo-
men. partially, at least. His two sisters
who are with the 'remonstrants'' against
woman suffrage, appeared before the Sen
ate committee Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Mary F. Swift, president of the Cal
ifornia delegation, tells story of the
"antis' in California. There was a big
bluster made, she says about an anti-slf-
frage meeting which was to be held in
San Francisco and all the suffra gists were
wild to know what would be said but only
seven of them had the courage to beard the
hon in his den and go to the meeting. She
was one of them. Besides themselves there
anti There were few men, The
anti" fiocked by herself down to Sac
ramentO to petition the Legislature
against woman suffrage, and for some mis-
demeanor got herself into the pen
Now says Mrs. Swift, I'VE hear no more
about the 'antis' in my jurisdiction
Miss Alice Stone Blackwell Indignantly
asserts that the "antis' in their state
rnents to the two committees of Congress
Tuesday did not tote fair" They said
that out of a total woman population of
$4,000 women entitled to vote in Massa-
chusetts, but $1,000 registered when the
matter was submitted to them in kind

Only 25.OOO voted. Miss Blackwell says that
Mr.. Russell's statement is not fair for he
does not say also that only 5000 votes We're
cast by women against the proposition that
they be permitted to vote. Miss Blackwell
asserts that this proportion would hold
good straight through and would leave
those demanding suffrage far in the ma
