MISS FRANCIS GRIFFIN
 MONDAY AT NOON.

Miss Francis Griffin, who is the heao ef the woman's Suffrage Movement in Alabama, will address the Committee on Suffrage of the Constitutionai Convention on Monday at noon on Shall Women Voter" Miss Griffin is one of the most prominent women in the United States in all undertakings for the advancement of women. she worked with Miss Willard in the inter est of temperance for some years ana was her bosom friend. She, with Miss Willard, visited Lady Henry Somerset. the great w5man suffragist of Eng land. at her home near London.
 It is likely that between interest and curiosity the gallery of the Senate Chamber will be crowded with men and women on Monday at noon.
 The season in Montgomery dies a slow and painful death. When the death agony seems at an end, and a short spell of the post-mortem dead silence seems to put a period to the story of it's life, To, there comes an- other-and another-convulsive gasp that holds the mourners still a while longer at the bedside.
 But the last quiver of society's tired being passed over the emaciated form last week; for there are no invitations to chronicle for the coming one. Even clubdom is through, and mighty femin- inc brains are to rest from the solving of the weighty problems of life until next fall. All save the Magazine Club, whose study and diversion goes stead fly on, through the heated term.
 The mourners for the dead season are now looking for somewhere to go. That comes next, for go they must-to recuperate.
 It is a fact that if 1t were possible, by mutual consent, to give the sea son. a dose of chloroform on the first day of May and cut short its life, all concerned would be happy and con- tent. They would be glad of the month of quiet gained thereby, in which rest and work of preparation for the sum- mer could figure.
 The prolongation Is not due to any great desire on woman's part (men are not in it-almost extinct) to have the pleasure found in the late social func- tions; but no one Is willing to turn loose first.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Miss Griffin Has Something to Say
 on the Proposal.
To The Advertiser:

10 The AQVertlSer:
 The Selma correspondent states that contrary to general expectations. the ordinance introduced into the conven- tion by Mir. B. H. Craig of Dallas giving the white women of Alabama the right to vote, was not such a bomb after all. He also mentions the com- ments to the effect that if MT. Craig is willing to trust the white women of Alabama with the ballot 1t must be all right.
 The responsibility of trusting" wo- men with the ballot Is not so weighty as it seems. The ratio of general in- telligence among women is as high as among men, while statistics show the percentage of illiteracy to be less. The United States census of 1890 gives interesting statistics of the relative number of men and women in the State prisons of the different States. In. Alabama women constitute but per cent of the persons.
 The State orf Wyoming, where full woman suffrage has been tried longest and where women have voted for thirty-one years. was the only State in which the per cent of criminal women decreased.
 A resolution from the Wyoming House of Representatives in 1893 staes that the exercise of suffrage by the women of Wyoming has done great good in many ways; that it has largely aided in banishfng crime, pauperism and vice from that State; that it has secured peaceful and orderly elections, good government and remarkable de- gree of civilization and public order"
 Women on an average are more peaceable, temperate, chaste, economi- cal, humane and law-abiding than men, is the statement of just and humane man.
 Now these are the qualities in which our government is lacking. A govern ment of men and women by men and women will be a government of the people. It will be true democracy of government.
 Women enjoy some form of suffrage in nearly every. civilized country of the world. In England. Scotland. Ireland and Wales. women vote for all officers except members of Parliament.
 Hon. Frank Stenenberg, Governor of Idaho says in a recent article in Harper's Bazar:
 "In a general sense. there can be no doubt that participation of women in our public affairs has had a most elevating influence. All parties see the necessity of nominating tr- st
