WOMEN MAKING PROGRESS.
Julia Ward Howe Believes the Future
II Full Of Hope.

Julia Ward Howe Believes the Future
IL Full of Hope.
II. seems very strange that after SO
many years women should still be
obliged to beg for equal suffrage, when
it has long since been shown that our
claim is well founded, not only in
ideal Justice. but In practical wisdom.
and that it is in the direction Of the
tendencies Of civilization. Our appeal
to the legislatures has been refused so
many times that to continue 1t seems
like leading a forlorn hope. Yet a for
lorn hope is glorious. To lead 1t is
glorious and to die in It is glorious,
and 1t often conquers, and ! am full
of hope. for what is right In itself
must triumph in the end. / feel as
sured that In the near future the CO.
operation of women in municipal and
state affairs will not only be. desired.
but demanded, by men Of pure and
worthy citizenship. Mothers, wives,
sisters, will no longer stand as sup:
plants before state legislatures, ask
ing that they may become politically
the equals of men who profess to treat
them as superiors. but who really COM
bine to keep them In a state Of per-
petual minority. We women have
hitherto been a sort Of reserve force.
During the rough, early ages Of war
fare man did the fighting, but we cher
ished and nourished him. His blood
raj in our veins and his courage was
our courage. Thank God, that period.
Of war has almost taken itself of; we
are at the beginning of a peace
full period and now something more is
needed than muscle and the power to
do physical battle. There is need OF
moral and spiritual force and We have
this stored reserve force within US. We
have learned much from the men as
to how the world should be governed
and also some things as to how 1t
should not. It seems strange that in
Puritan Boston we should still be ask
ing for municipal suffrage, while in
England and Australia and in our own
Western states women has exercised
it for years. Are we, then, SO inferior
to those women? Or are u men. SO
inferior to those men that they cannot
see the business and sacredness Of our
claims? But this reform is to come.

The Gear Had His Bath.

Apropos Of the cars recent visit to
France. 1t is related that only the pres
ence Of mind of Nine. Loubet, wife Of
the president of France. prevented a
sad contretemps. The imperial party
was staying at a country villa, and
when the hour for the cars morning
bath arrived the servants started to
prepare the tub. But the hot water
would not come. The servants twisted
the faucets this way and that, and
pounded on the pipes. but all to no pur-
rose. Finally, Nine. Loubet heard OF
the difficulty. She called several men
servants, and hot water was sent from
the kitchen to the imperial tub in
buckets.-New York Commercial Ad-

a room on q small street near the
space, 1t was in the dead Of winter
and, they borrowed q small stove of
the egg-shaped variety from a neigh
Dor. They built a fire in it, got thor
oughly warmed and then stretched out
upon the floor to sleep. At an early
hour the next morning one Of them
awoke in a cold sweat, shivering like
a leaf. The fire had gone out, and
the room was like an icehouse. The
first thing that crossed his mind was
how to get a drink. He had NO money
and the next thought was how to get
some. An idea struck him. Without
disturbing his companions. he seized
the stove in his arms and proceeded
to the nearest junk shop, where he sold
1t for q small amount and got his
drink. It sis. not necessary to add that
he and his friends parted company.

THE CHAMPION WING SHOT.

Capt. 1ogardus Has u Dangerous
Expextence But Comes Out Unhurt.
Ferris Wheel Park. Chicago, Nov. 4th.
Capt. A. H. Bogardus, the champion
wing shot OF th,:, world, has spent the
summer here. His shooting school has
been one OF the features OF the Park
during the season. He has given many
exhibitions, and his skill with the rifle
Is superb.
The Captain tells OF a very close call
he once had when living at Elkhart, Ill.
He had been q sufferer from Kidney
Disease for several years. and It rapid
" developed into Bright's disease. All
his friends told him that this was incur
abie and that he would never get better.
To say. that he was alarmed Is to put
Il mildly. This plucky man had faced
many dangers, and 1t made him sick at
heart to think that at last he was to be.
conquered by such q cruel foe.
At last he heard of a medicine that
had cured many such cases-Dodd's
Kidney Pflts. He used them, and was
.o:mpletely restored to good health.
He says:--'.I attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills and

greater expense to the country than is
the case with any other ruler. In fact,
precautionary measures for the protec-
ton of the cars life have been devel-
oped, for so years past, into a science.
These measures have, however, not
been nearly 10 stringent under the
present zar as they were during the
last four years Of the reign of his
father, Alexander Ill, and it has been
largely due to the most recent cases of
regicide that the comparatively mild
system of protection afforded the pres
ent autocrat of Russia has been rem
dered more severe.
On special occasions every movement
of the cza has been predetermined
weeks before, and very minute instruc-
lions r then issued to the higher
police officials, and from these filtered
down to the lowest gorodovoi and to
the army Of railroad and other OFF,
Gals. Uniformed police to the number
Of thousands are then used in such
cities as st. Petersburg, Moscow, etc.,
and troops are employed most extern
sively to line the road.
Quite elaborate preparations are also
In vogue whenever the car issues forth
through the public streets on his regu-
lar routine. How large is the number
of those who day by day are f~orestall-
ing the ceaseless Vaccinations and
plots Of the nihilfsts and other dissat-
ilsfed strata Of the population is not
a~scertainabie, but the number is quite
= considerable one.
It Is also true that Nicholas H., al
though a very mild-mannered and ap-
.parently rather difident man, is quite.
fearless, and that the symptoms Of ex-
treme nervousness which characterized
his father during the last few years Of
his life, owing to q number of hair
breadth escapes from diabolical plots,
are happily absent in his son-as yet.
But it is quite certain that at least
1--WE .distincts and well-laid plans to
murder the present car have been
frustrated.
To Protect the Kaiser.
The elaborate system Of precautions
ander which the present ruler Of Ger
many lives is Of rather recent date.
His grandfather, though repeatedly the
victim Of would-be assassfns, never al
lowed himself to be talked into any
thing like the amount Of precautionary
which his grandson, William
IT,, has gradually evolved. The only
two cases become public Of attempts on
the lire Of the Kaiser yer those which
happened during the past IL months at
Bremen and Breslau, and they were Of
no serious character. Il
In Breslau 1t was . crazy old woman
