The. Convention Aftermath.

When on last Thursday the ordinance passed the action of the convention was hardly known when a reconsideration followed in such rapid succession that Alabama women had not had time to experience even the slightest flutter of excitement over the broad and progressive policy of the convention. Dreams were nipped in the bud and the "aftermath" of the convention in re- scinding its action of only few hours before, provoked numerous smiles be- tween the dinner courses when the after noon papers were discussed.
 Within twenty four hours certain dei- egates to the convention had discovered that there was prejudice existing in the state against woman's suffrage. and that if the convention allowed this provision ir the fundamental law of Alabama that 1t might endanger the success of the constitution. which has to be ratified by a popular vote.
 Those two points are said to have in the end defeated the ordinance.
 Mir Greer of Calhoun. MT. O'Neil of Lauderdale. MT. Long of Walker Mir. Hehin of Chambers and MT. Oates were the leading opponents of the ordinance in the discussion of which the convention had to be inflicted with trade read by MT. ONeal in which he quotes at length from Cato concerning the rights of the Roman women and which concludes: Suffer them once to arrive at an equal ity with you and they will from that mo- ment become your superiors."
 MT. O'Neal. basing his arguments upon those used a thousand years ago, con- cludes with the time honored theory of Southern civilization. He draws a pie ture of the man who goes home at night tired from business cares, and yet who would be forced into discussing with his wife and daughters the question of tax ation. The result of this discussion. ar gued MT. O'Neal would be the complete destruction and overthrow of our cher ished convictions as to womans sphere. Through the remainder of his speech he continued along this line of thought.
 Tn the discussion of the ordinance Dr. Cunningham of Jefferson led In the able advocacy of suffrage Instead of wearying his hearers with poetry and f1ourishes, he made a concise. clear-cut and convincing argument He quoted fatter-day authori- ties and emphasized his belief in woman s progress and development. and placed himself in that broad-minded liberal class that recognizes the present unjust suf- frage law.
 Quoting from the New York Herald. Dr. Cunningham said:
 ''It Is absurd that an educated Amer

 have no voice as to how or by whom

Chicago, August 12-At Harlem this afternoon the talent played havoc with the books, backing the winners of the first two races off the boards. They went wrong in the jumping race, however, be- cause of foul riding, in which Crest, the ' to l favorite, was deliberately knocked on her stride by Flacius. causing the mare to lose much ground and victory by short neck. Jockey Worthington claimed foul, but the judges refused to allow 1t. Weather clear; track fast.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the CALIFORNIA Flo SYRUP Co.,, illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa- tive principles of plants known to be incidentally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system effcctually, dispelling colds, headaches and levers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub stance, and it's acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative.
 In the process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other aromatic plants, by a method known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co. only. In order to get its beneficial effects and to avoid limitations, please remember the full name of the Company printed on the front of every package. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP co.

WILL RESIST. DEMAND.
Turkish Government Holds It is Not Respon-
sibIe for the Capture of Miss Stone.
(By Associated Press. J

(Bv Associated Press.)
CONSTANTINOPLE. October 31.-The
Turkish Government is already preparing
to resist the anticipated demand of the
United States for repayment of the ran
som necessary to secure the release Of
Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, abducted American
missionary. The Forte repudiates all
responsibility for the kidnapping of Miss
Stone and maintains that the United
States has no claim against Turkey and
that. therefore, the latter is justified in
refusing to recoup the United States for
the money expended in her rescue,
a high Turkish official this morning in
formed representa- tive of the Associated
Press that the Turkish resistance of any
claims would be based upon these con-
tentions:
First, that Miss Stone. although warn
ed of the dangers of the road, persisted
in travelling; second that she did not
notify the authorities of her intention, in
order to obtain an escort, which precnu-
ton even the foreign consulS always take
when travelling in such outlying. insecure
districts Of the empire; and third, that
the sbrigands who kidnapped Miss Stone
and her companion We're Rulgarians; that
the coup was planned in Bulgaria and
that sanctuary was found in Bulgarian
territory.
