She WIS Adindged Insnne.

At the probate judge Office Monday
afternoon Cora Shields and Mrs.
Scheerer were tried for insanity and
the former was adjudged insane and
the latter cleared for lack Of evidence.
Cora Shields lived in Usage town
ship but has been an occIr AIT of the
county poor house for sixteen years.
Aside from occasional outbursts of
anger when she showed tendency to
destroy,property she was quiet per
son. AT times she would get violent
and has broken out scores of window
lights from the building. She is thir-
ty-seven years old and will be sent to
an asylum if the authorities will re-

Mrs. Scheerer vas from Humboldt
when she was taken to the poor farm
in 1883. Her husband, Gus Scheerer
left her and it is not known whether he
ever got divorce or not. At any
rate he left her on the county hands.
She is believed to be undoubtedly
mildly insane but as she is not violent
there was not the same showing made
before the jury as in the case of the
other woman, and so she will remain
at the poor farm.

Finds Gray Wolves.

For -Four Hours but Were
Finally
Driven Away by the Dogs. BY the
Way has Anybody Missed Dave
Leahy?

Meeker, Colo, Jan. 21.-Colonel
RoOsevelt's chair was vacant Satur-
day night when the hunters at the
Keystone ranch gathered for supper.
No anxiety was felt at first, as he had
told the others when he left the cabin
for solitary stroll just before dusk
not to wait for him in case he was not
back by supper time. But at 8 O'Clock
Colonel Roosevelt had not returned.
and his friends became alarmed. At
10 O'Clock they were convinced that he
was the victim of some accident, and
men and dogs started to find him.
Possibly, his friends thought, he
had fallen while climbing the wall of
a canon and was so injured he could
not walk. Perhaps he had had an
other encounter with grizzly and
had been less fortunate than before.
1t was even suggested that he had
been kidnapped by a belated party of
Utes who have been killing game in
Colorado.
When he left the cabin Colonel
Roosevelt intended to get a few shots
at some of the numberless. little wolves
after which Coyote basin is named.
They are exceedingly fleet and can
not be run down in a broken country,
so he hunted on foot and without the
dogs. taking his chances for coming
upon them by stealth But the
coyotes We're wary, and he did not
get a shot till in the gathering dark.
ness he saw the shaggy form of gray
wolf outlined against the sky on
ridge fully 300 yards away.
1t was too dark for accurate aim,
but bullet from Colonel Roosevelt
rifle wounded the beast and sent him
limping and yelling over the brow of
the hill. Colonel Roosevelt followed
on the run. He found the tracks of
the animal, showing that it's leg had
been broken. A light snow had fallen
the night before, and the blood-stained
footprints were easily traced. The
hunter was already far from home,
anu, III tue SNClleIDeuJ OF Ine CnuSe,
had lost his direction.
However, he had no thought of
danger until he noticed that the yelp-
ing of the wolf was answered by
others. These gray wolves are twice
as large as the coyote and dangerous
when in numbers. Colonel Roosevelt
kept away from the thicke,s and
brought down several of the brutes
when they came too near. Finally it
became too dark for anything but hap
hazard shooting, and as the country
seemed alive with wolves, he climbed
a tree, In doing so he lost his cart
ridge belt.
There the party found him after he
had been a prisoner for four hours.
Under the tree were half dozen
wolves that he had killed with his re-
volvers. The others were soon scat
tered by the dogs.

sweep slow but consistent growth
keeps evils out. A -sectarian issue like
that made by the independent women
voters of Boston in 1897 is not good.
Begin this year as if for all time. It
is not merely a duty but an oppor-
tunity and a privilege. The desire to
do something for others, for the I'M
fortunate, is one of the most innate
qualities woman possesses. Though
the book Little Lord Fauntleroy" may
be considered to border on the silly
or sentimental. yet I always remember
this sentence from II: Every true
woman wants the world a little better
for her having lived in it," And school
suffrage is one of the things that make
the world better"
A discussion followed the lecture.
Mrs. z. H. Marble said: DIR. Bray
dropped out OF the school board last
fall for political reasons. The Wor-
eester school board is not so bad as the
school boards in larger cities but 1t
can be improved Every woman feels
that these women should have con-
tinued on the school board. feel morti-
fed that these seats are not all filled
to hear this lecture.
Mrs. C. E. Morse: Mrs. Lincoln is
still on the school board, endorse
what the lecturer has said. A woman
told me that II her name was on the
voting list she would vote for me but
that she would tell her husband to vote
for me-"
Mrs. ]. H. Robinson: 81 wish to
speak a word of commendation of the
lecture. Women on the school board
have been a power for good. People
outside have little conception OF the
good done. A more efficient worker can
not be found than Mrs. Morse has been.
Mrs. Emma Foster was also woman
Of rarest ability and power seldom
seen in a woman Of college training. II
will be hard to find a woman like her l
hope there win be more women on the
school board"
Mrs. L. NJ. Lowell: lone OF the very
best members Of the school board said
to me that one-third Of the members
OF a school board should be women"
A question was asked as to whether
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-10-19

women would be admitted to caucuses.
Mrs. Park replied that they we're not
admitted in Boston. Mrs. Lowell said
that she had been one of party of
women who went into a caucus In
Ward one where they were civilly
treated and asked to come again.
Miss George A. Bacon asked for
methods of procedure in taking up the
matter Of suffrage in the Woman's
Club and Mrs. Park suggested follow
Ing the methods adopted in Boston,
which are: Sending delegates to the
meetings of the school board; keeping
a record Of each mans vote on ques-
lions and spreading that record broad
cast, whether good or bad. at election
times; visiting schools. This RESPONSE
bility Mrs. Park thinks the school
board would gladly forego as men are
busy during the day and cannot make
the visits.
Mrs. Lowell said perhaps women did
not generally know that meetings Of
the school board are public. Mrs. Ar
chibald McCullagh said that she re-
membered a time when women were
appointed by the Woman's Club to
attend meetings Of the school commit
tee and visit schools. One woman's
grocer who was member Of the board
had not voted as she thought he
should have and the woman warned
him that he might lose her trade.
Mrs. A. NJ. S. Butler said she had
heard a teacher say that she did not
like to have women on the board be-
cause they noticed every little thing.
Mrs. Butler thought that was one rea-
son why women should be on the
board. Mrs. A. c. Getchell said that
she had always found teachers glad to
be visited and that she had always
been well received.
Mrs. Park then told story about
people whom she called not civilized,
quoting from a child's remark about
people who were not naturalized. the
child having mistaken the word. The
story was OF a pugilist who went to
make trouble for a Boston teacher on
complaint Of his overgrown and I'M
ruly SON. The gentleness OF the teacher
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1901-10-19

The question is not exactly one of reg
istering and voting but of informing
yourself and reforming public opinion.
The ballot box without public opinion
is dangerous; public opinion without
the ballot box is unavailing. After
public opinion should come action En-
lightenment without action amounts
to nothing James says in his psychol-
ogy that 1t is dangerous to excite no.
BILE emotions and then not act. He cites
the instance of the symphony concerts
which arouse the emotions and says
that one should go home and at least
exercise the emotions by being polite
to ones grandmother.
woman suffrage and school suffrage
are different matters in Massachusetts.
Though you may be disposed to dis
like full suffrage still you can't shirk
the law the state puts on you in re-
gard to schools. If the opportunity to
vote for school committee is given, is
not the duty laid upon you to concern
Yourself about the schools which the
law has established2
There is a great difference of opin-
ion among intelligent women in re-
gard to full suffrage. But the law Of
the state has laid the duty Of the
schools upon us. Why is this club es-
pecially responsible? You show you
care by your membership in the club.
The Woman's Club stands as a whole
for accepted matters. Failing civiliza-
ton is shown by not accepting every
opportunity for good and for doing
good 10 others. Suggestions coming
from Boston public school workers are
the ward and precinct committees for
registering women, the meetings in
wards and the asking Of women to vote.
!
en- think that men whom they meet dali
lv in street cars and elsewhere should
be different at the ballot box. Why
should men be transformed into raven
Gus wild beasts at the ballot box? Bos-
ton has two reform parties, mayba
Worcester needs none. Perhaps your
school committee is amenable to rea-
son.

and the atmosphere of happy order
that prevailed in her schoolroorn
changed the mind Of the pugilist who
called for a stick and on receiving a
ruler beat the boy till the teacher
asked that the punishment cease. The
teachers pet had told her that Jimmy
Murphy's father was a pugilist ana
was coming to kick the stuffin' out

present in the hall after the lecture
and was warmly congratulated.

made: The Browning class will have
its first lecture today at 3 o'clock. The
class in architecture will meet at 4.45
