NEW YORK WOMEN TO VOTE.

The New York Legislature celebrated
the anniversary Of the Battle OF Lex
lngton by carrying out to its logical
conclusion the good old revolutionary
principle that there should be no taxa
tloh without representation. On April
10 whlle bells were ringing IN Boston
ana massachusetts, was keeping holiday
IN honor OF that victory of 12S years
ago, the New York Senate passed by a
vote OF II to IA, the bill empowering
women taxpayers in townships and vii
iages to vote upon all questions of tax
alton. The bill had passed the lower
mouse in three successive Legislatures
by heavy maiorities one year unani-
mously-'but had hitherto always fail
ed in the Senate.
New lirk is the third State to grant
suffrage to taxpaying women. Montana
was the first, Louisiana the second.
montana came into the Union as State
IN 1889. While its constitutional con-
Ventlon was in session, Julia Ward
Howe. Lucy Stone and Mary A. Liver
more addressed an appeal to every mem
Der of the convention to embody full
suffrage in the constitution of the new
by progressive men and women of Mon
tana, and Henry B. Blackwell went out
and spoke before the constitutional con-
vention in favor of the measure. The
convention refused women full suffrage.
but gave taxpaying women the right to
vote upon all questions submitted to
the taxpayers.
In 1898 delegation of influential
Louisiana women appealed to the con-
stitutional convention for full suffrage
and at their request Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait was allowed to speak before
that body. The convention refused full
suffrage. but gave tax-paying women
the right to vote on all questions sub
mitted to the taxpayers.
1t viii be a cause of rejoicing to
thousands Of men and women all over
the country that New York, the State
where the first equal rights convention
was held, and where Susan B. Anthony
and Elizabeth Cady Stanton have work
ed untiringly for so many years should
have Joined the procession of women
suffrage States while these two brave
pioneers were still living to rejoice in
the victory.
Tn vote in New York is only the ex-
tension to all the towns and villages of
the State of right which the women
in half dozen New York cities OF the
third class had already possessed for
years under special municipal charters.
and which had been found to have no
tendency TO overturn the laws of ma
ture
This action Of the New York Iegisla-
ture indicates a growing conviction that
the tax-paying women at least ought to
have a vote on questions of taxation.
Even the spokeswoman OF the New York
Anti-Suffrage Association said at the re-
cent hearing in Albany that il the AN
tbs" could reconcile themselves to any
woman suffrage measure they would
favor this. but they could not. because
the suff-agists were behind it"-a weak
reason, and one which might have been
urged with equal force against every
improvement in legislation for woman
during the last so years

THE JACKSONVILLE DISASTER


The fire at Jacksonville was probably
the most extensive since the great Chi
cago confagration.
Fate seemed against the town. ST.
multaneous with the breaking out of
the tire a furious gale began which
tanned the flames and carried the en-
bers far and wide, while at the same
time an accident occurred to the water
works engine, which lessened the pres
sure and the supply at the critical mo-
ment.
The loss is many millions and thou
sands are penniless and homeless. Now

MoNDERFUL WOMAN.

Up in Winsted, Conn, the authorities
have in jail d young woman who cruelty
murdered his sweetheart. Consequently
he is the idol of Anticipated femininity
in that town. The jailer is bothered
necessarily by his female admirers.
When not calling at the Jail and wor-
shipping him in person they send beau
tiful boquets, jellies and fruits. The
postman is burdened and the jailor's
stomach turned by the tender missives
that every mail brings to the prisoner.
The murderer's name is Hayes and
the murder of his sweetheart was a
brutal one, of course; it requires a very
despicable scoundrel to arouse the low
ing regard of these peculiar females,
who appear, however, to abound in ev-
cry locality They are all daughters
Of respectable families" too. One Of
them told the murderer that she would
o-e for him if she could. And she
would. too, said Hayes to the jailer
with a wink
Only one thing would have increased
Hayes popularity with these tender
idiots and that would have been for
him to have committed blacker crime,
say to nave murdered, instead of his
sweetheart, his wife and slaughtered

fiends seem to have the call on the ten
der sympathy of these, let US call them,
abnormal maids.
These things are doubtless capable of
explanation, but the key to the mystery

THE WALL STREET GAMBLE.

2hE vail STREET. GAMBLE.
The get-gich-qUick mania reached
such climax last week that even the
wolves OF Wall street tired of lambs
meat and called for a stoppage of the
publics mad rush till they could get
time to breathe.
Now that the furious tide has reached
its height and started to ebb there is
the certainty that when the flood of
mad speculation shall recede it will
leave high and dry to bleach on the
desert shores many a skeleton.
The public is always bull; never a
bear. The fresh Spectator doesn't
clearly see the philosophy of the short
seller who disposes of what he has not,
trusting to deliver the goods at a
profit. So the public always buys and
makes money only SO long as the mar
ket rises. Disaster comes with falling
prices.
There is a great deal Of pity wasted
on those who lose their savings and
wreck themselves in Wall street They
enter the stock market knowing full
well it is gamble. they expect to
unload on some other fellow. They
expect to get something for nothing.
II in trying to win on lucky throw
they lose, whose fault is it but their
own? If thew risked more than thew
could afford TO on a chance and lost
1t was with their eyes open. If they
could not afford to lose they should

or in other words, had been paid for ap-
pearing at these contests.
These men won handily in every event
they were entered in, defeating the best
the Old World could produce. and it seems
very strange that the sting of these de-
feats should have lasted until now and
that it should have taken all this time to
make charges which might have been
made at the time Of the respective So
called breachts.
The time to protest against profession
alism or other ineligibility is upon the
spot and at the time of competition.
Matter VIII he Investigated.
Secretary J. E. Sullivan, Of the A. A. L.,
in his reply to the English organization,
stated that the men involved were duly
entered by their respective colleges and
clubs, which paid their entrants ex-
penses, and suggested that further infor-
nation in the individual cases would be
furnished upon request by the college as
sociations and clubs concerned.
When these are called upon they will
no doubt gladly make the proper investi-
cation. Until this is done and the men
are proven guilty Of a technical wrong, il
seems unwise and out Of the ordinary to
condemn them, especially in view of the
fact that these great athletes brought so
much glory and so many honors TO Ameri-
can amateur athletics through their skill
and brawn.
