CALL FOR NATIONAL
CONVENTION.

The history Of man has been an I'M
ceasing struggle for truth. The cen.
turies are studded with milsstones
which mark the conflict and the victory.
There has been no generation without
men and women fearless enough to hold
aloft the torch OF truth, and who have.
in consequence. drawn upon themselves
the anathemas of blind and intolerant
opposition. Truths. now the common
property Of school children. once repre-
sented contests which burned men at
the stake. Physical torture belongs to
the past, but the world still wages war
against new truths.
The enfranchisement Of men is an
established fact, in the United States
and in the British Empire. yet it stands
as the climax Of evolution in government
and represents . thousand years Of Bit
ter argument and sanguinary wars. 1t
was but century ago that the princi-
pie underlying this inevitable liberty

charming spring hats. The effect was
extremely odd, especially in perspective,
and one OF the artists remarked that he
could not help thinking of the crocus
beds in the park. with their sombre sur
roundings.
One woman wore black velvet suit,
severely cut. and q white straw hat
with two large pompons made OF French
violets placed we'll toward the front.
Another wore q three-ysrd.lon pink
feather boa twice about her throat and
white hat covered with pink blossoms.
1t is invariably remarked by Modish
women visiting New York from the
provinces that astonishingly bright and
elaborate bodices are worn to morning
affairs and midday luncheons. There
is much food for thought in the obser-
walton. TIC be sure. gay blouses are in
vogue as never before, but whether il is
exactly the thing to wear an unmistak-
able evening bodice. save that the
sleeves are neither short nor transparent,
at an eleven o'clock function, is q mat
ter, it seems to me, that ones own good
taste should decide. A we'll known wo.
man whose name is synonym for good
form among many followers recently
paid morning visit to q broker in q
heavily jetted gown Of black net and a
semi-long cloak of black with black and
white chiffon ruffiee.
As hair ornaments are to have prom.
inent place among spring and summer
modes, it is we'll to give them some at
tsntion. Flowers are most popular, aud
it is q careless dsrk-hsired girl indeed
who has noe small cluster Of scarlet
Csrmepeeque blossoms to set off her
charms. Tucked over the left ear. il the
hair is dressed low, or just q bit from
the centre in front. il the couture is
high. one well-msde rose adds an indie
Unable charm to an interesting woman
and makes US more gracious toward an
uninteresting one.
The gold.woven flowers worn during
the winter have disappeared. and it is
well, for they were unbecoming and
stiff. Try az We would, they always
seemed abnormal, like blue rose or a
green carnation. Small gaflands Of pic.
ayune roses, preferably pink, are woven
in the hair with picturesque effect, but
this style is not for the matron except
she be very young. Aigrettes and small
plumes are not desirable at present.
Although their reign has been long for
theatre and opera. they are to be super
coded by the more becoming flower or
naments. A bit Of pale pink tulle and
three tiny pink rosebuds were very sue
cessfully worn by q debutante at the
theatre few evenings ago. Her gown
was of pink chiffon and lace. simply

consent OF the governed" No sooner
was the axiom enuncisted than the
American Republic adopted it a. the
guarantee OF its liberty; and it became
the wachword OF every people striving
for political freedom. A half century
later, q new brand OF truth-seekers de-
clared that women 40 we'll 20 men belong

regardless Of sex. As usual, the new
truth was met by the united opposition
OF society. But the half century OF
sndeavor has wrought satisfying results.
Former prejudices have been largely re-
moved. Ridicule has been replaced by
serious consideration. and limited suf-
frage has been established in nearly all
civilized nations and in half the states
OF the Urion. Yet the work is far from
complete. Truth on one side of the
Pyrenees lie q lie on the other" says
Montaigne. So the right OF women to
the ballot. acknowledged as truth by
large msiorities in Wyoming. Colorado,
Utah and Idaho, is regarded az an mex
pediency 10 some portions Of the United
States. and as social revolution in 9TH
ers.
The first years Of the new century are
destined to witness the most strenuous
and intense struggle OF the movement.
Iniquity has become afraid Of the votes
OF women. Vice and immortality are
consequently organized in opposition;
while conservative morality stands
shoulder to shoulder with them, blind
to the nature Of the Illicit partnership.
Believers in this cause are legion, but
many, satisfied that victory will come
without their help, do nothing. We are
approaching the climax Of the great con-
test, and every friend is needed. II the
final victory is long in coming. the re-

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHI
Professor Moore Reports Satisfactory
Experiments Itctween IIatteras and
CapeyIIcnry.

Washington. April 3--Professor Will
lis L. Moore chief OF the weather bu-
reau, has returned from an inspection
of the wireless telegraphy stations on
the Virginia and North Carolina cpast
and has reported to Secretary W.rpu
the results OF his observations. Sc
found that the experimental work -
progressing satisfactorily between
Hatteras and Cape Henry. where el D.
crate plans have been laid out for n
portant experiments. At Cape Henry
an excellent plant has been establish
ed for the physical and mechanical
development and investigation OF the
fundamental principles of wireless te-
legraphy. Signals are exchanging daily
between these two stations, and mes
sages can be transmitted at any time.
though there Is no necessity for ex-
change of messages as yet.
These two stations are forty-seven
miles apart, with no land between them
and the course is regarded as an ideal
one for the experiments. 1t is intend
ed to keep this section for experimental
and research work, which will be pros
ecuted vigorously throughout next
summer.
The next great problem to be solved
according to Chief Moore, is the differ
entiation of the wireless messages, 50
that the messages sent shall b. read
only by the stations for which they are
intended and not interfered with blythe
crossing Of messages for other stations.
