LECTURE ON WOMEN SUFFRAGE
Mrs. Terrell Addresses II Meeting of
CoIored People.

Mrs Mary Church Terrell, President Of
the National Association OF Colored Wo-
men of America, addressed the Second
Baptist Lyceum yesterday afternoon in
the lecture room of the Second Baptist
Church on Third Street between II and |
Streets northwest. The lecture room was
crowded with young men and womeL. WHO
paid the closest attention to the lecture
as she discussed THE Justice of Women
Suffrage" Mrs. Terrell showed that she
had thoroughly studied her subject fer
her lecture was filled with history show
ing how women had advanced step by
step in the struggle for personal and 70
litical liberty until now woman was rec
ognized as entitled to certain rights in
the eye of the law the same as the sterner
sex. In some States the right of woman
to vote and share in the responsibility Of
the government was recognized.
The justice OF woman suffrage, Mrs.
Terrell said, was never more fully and
clearly comprehended than when one re-
views the laws which men have made to
govern women. Ii was claimed she said
that women did not need the ballot be-
cause they were well represented by the
men This the lecturer denied, and as

Thompson, who presided over the meet

character. He said the laws relating to
the rights of women were becoming more

C1oseness Personified.

There's good story told on a young
fellow here noted for his closeness. He
went to spend the night with a friend.
During the entire night he betrayed
much restlessness, which kept the host
wide awake, and finally the slumberer
betrayed signs Of violent emotion.
Hes going to have a nightmare" said
the friend, "but he always grumbles SO
when you wake him up that 1 hate to
disturb him." He waited awhile Ion
ger, sitting up in bed staring on the
miserable sleeper, and finally, becom-
ing alarmed, he reused him. He sprang
up in bed, glared wildly around and
said: "Where am 1? I don't see the
storm"
''Why, here in my ROOM" said the
host soothingly. "You remember you
staid all night with me? l beg your
pardon for waking you up, but you car
ried on SO had to-"
"Beg your pardon" gasped the guest.
II shall never be grateful enough to
you. 1 dreamed l was out with Miss
Bud, and terrible storm came up, and
my shoes were new, and I was just
ordering a coupe for two when you
reused me. Old boy, you have saved
me dollar"
And the host says he was actually
afraid to go to sleep again that night
for fear the coupe would come.-Louis-

Lost Her Match.

Loren P. Merrill of Paris tells the
story of the particular old woman, and
he makes her resident Of Livermore.
She was not only old, but she was Of
the worrying, fretting species of antiq-
uity. She had fretted away her friends
and relatives until she was at length
living alone in small house in the
outskirts of the town. Just as she was
retiring one bitter cold night she dis
covered that but one unlighted match
remained in the house. She lay awake
until almost daylight, worrying and
disturbing herself with wondering If
the match was good. At last she got
up and hunted up the match and struck
it to see if it would light her kindlings
in the morning.-Lewiston (Me0 Jour-

A Social Ambiguity.

He had hoped to be asked to take
her in to dinner, but to his great disap-
pointment that duty fell to somebody
else And so until the men arose to let
the women file out he could only gaze
at her from afar and be politely stupid
to the woman next him. He had never
met her before, but somehow they
seemed to know each other very well
by the time they had spoken a few
words in the course Of the short wait
before the guests paired off on their
way to the dining room. He didn't
know what she thought of him, but he
knew that from his point of view she
was about right. And he was a man
difficult to please.
The men seemed to him to linger over
their cigars an interminable time. At
last they trooped to the drawing room.
He sought her out.

O'Rourke denied yesterday that he made up his mind to quit the game for awhile because of the mayors interference. He said that he quit because he was losing money. O'Rourke declared yesterday: Boxing is apparently not very popu- lar with the Bridgeport public. We could not make money enough out of our shows to make it worth while holding bouts.

JOE coNNoRs EXPERIENCE.
A Pretty Tough Place to Play Out in
 Milwaukee.


 Joe Connor has had strange cx- only the experience of any player that does not affiliate with the crowd who sit on the bleachers. Talk about the people who sit on the bleachers around east, roasting a. ball player, why they are not to be compared to the chaps who do the knocking in Milwaukee. Every team in the American league that has played there has heard it and so have all the ball players and the most of then would play in almost any other team at much less figures than they could get in Milwaukee, although just now Milkaukee is cutting expenses and big salaries. Joe had not been long in Mill waukee until he1 incurred the enlaity of this blacherl erowda He caught in close game one day and made an error at an important part of the game. Talk about hissing player, why Mana ger Duffy said he never heard anything like it in all his baseball career. It was undeserved, too. for Joe was catch ing good ball and shortly after that made g play that saved the game. Joe did not like that hissing and he re- membered it and at every opportunity he roasted the bleachers. The conse- quences were that Joe was not favor ite with the bleacher crowd, but he was with the most of dthosea in sthe grand stand and to-day ssomeo of ethe best people, in Milwaukee speak in the most friendly terms of the ''sorrel top catcher as they dubbed him.
 They are a strange lot of people, those roasting chaps. for they are in love with Friel at third base although that player has lost more games than any player on the team and although he has made twice as many errors as has Joe Connor. Duffy himself is in dread of that bunch and he dares not open his mouth for fear of the results 1t is the hardest place in the American league to play baseball and the ma jority of. the players who know of that fact keep miles, away from it. Joe Connor was not very sorry therefore when last. week Manager Duffy gave him his ten days notice ofarelease. He could not satisfy the fans and he dfd not care to try any longer.
 l It was not this fact that caused his |
 release, however, for as was said above the Milwaukee team is cutting doWI expenses. They. draw no crowds ex l cept on Saturday and Sunday and tht salary list was too high. Joe was; get | ting almost twice as much as Maloney and Donahue and the latter is said te be into the club for several hundred dollars. Manager Duffy is trying tt land Joe in some of the other teams McAleer of the Cleveland team tele graphed for his terms and so die | Toronto. Joe answered McAleer, bu1 up to last Thursday had not heard from him. He would like to play il Toronto or any eastern league teams but fears that Manager O'Rourke vii interfere with him.

 Miriam and Collifiower Said to Be

 Yesterdays Game-Results of the Games in This and Other Leagues.
 Walters exhibition of base ball pitching yesterday was not expected nor was it justifiable. The sorrel- topped twirler evidently did not nave the ambition to pitch good ball, or ne did not care whether he pitched or not. In all probability he was in the sulkS and was not over anxious about win ming the game. 1t has been whispered that as it is nearing the end of the season some of the players are going to try for. their release in order that they may not be held for next season. There is way to cure all such tactlcs and in all probability Manager liar rington knows the way. The game was a miserable one from the begin ming of the third inning until Umpire McGann called the game on account of the rain at the end of the seventh inning.
 New London was blanked in the first inning, while the home team scored one run. but should have scored more. New London made two in the second on a single by Henry, an error by Murphy and a single by Stanhope. Waterbury tied the score in her half on a three-bagger by Waller and an error by Cusick. That was all the scoring done by the home team In the third the Whalers opened up on Waller, who was doing some careless twirling. and off his delivery were made six singles, one double and one triple, and this, with an error by Mur- phy, netted the visitors seven runs They made one more in the fifth on two singles and a double.
