Hon. Geo II. Fall on Woman Suffrage.

Hon. George II. Fall, chairman of the
Massachusetts, House Committee on Comsti-
tutional Amendments, in debate upon
Woman Suffrage, in the House said in part
"Woman touches the government in her
work at every point she draws checks
she signs contracts, she gives money 10
found institutions where poor and sick men
are supported, who in turn recompense her
by refusing TO allow her the franchise. She
goes into all the enterprises where a govern
ment goes, and supports the laws of the
land which refuse TO recognize her moral
right TO vote. She stands here today in this
temple Of justice, dumb, mute petitioner,
asking that the right which is hers 10y all the
conditions Of moral right should be enlarged
into legal right. II is no answer TO say
that because some women do not want TO
vote those women who do want TO vote
should have the privilege Of voting refused
TO them Society has placed women in such
a relation TO government that manhood suf-
fragc having been granted, womanhood
suffrage becomes already moral right, and
being such It must triumph.
The right 10 vote has always been held to
be the most sacred right that a citizen Of the
United States could possess. a Roman citi-
zen would do anything, dare anything, suffer
anything, rather than have the right to vote
taken from him he preferred 10 allow in.

There are the names Of Henry w Long

the plausibiliiy Of the story is that the

INVENTION
Which Would Rain the STANDARD OH
Go. Bought by IL for Five Million
Dollars.

Salt Lake, Utah. March so Information
has been received here thu, the new proecss
ioy producing ligh, and heat recently dis
covered and patented by salt Lake men
has been sold to the Standard OH Trust for
SS,ooo,ooo. This immense amount will be
divided equally between five Utah men,
who set 81, DOC, 600 each. They are former
Senator Frank Cannon, Judge T. +. Col
born, NJ. IL. Walker, ]. X. Walker and w.
\. Nelden.
Judge Colbon formerly resided at
Gunnison, Colo. The two Walkers are
bankers and Neldon is wholesale druggist.
Senator Cannon and Judge Colborn have
bee at New York for month conducting
the negotiations aud {, has now been an.
nonneed tha, the deal has been concluded
The discovery IS Of such a nature that the
Standard Oil Company was forced to buy ii
a, the owners 6gures. as ii would have
crippled the trusts oil business II placed ON
the market.
The discovery consists of process for
producing gas or vapor from coal oil aud
crude petroleum. When used with a pa,en,
burner this gas. il is said, produces light
OF greater intensity and purity than any
known. II was demonstrated here that
with an apparatus no longer than pint cup
quart would keep a 7oo.eandle power
lamp going for 81 hours. When as fuel,
with another burner, The results were no
less wonderful aud it is claimed that a small
tank of oil will run steamboat across the
Atlantic. 1t is said that the Standard oil
Company will not use the invention Tor
lighting purposes, hut will utilize II ex-
clusively in the production of heat on steam
ships and other fuel using plants. by this
process the largest warship can take on
enough fuel for cruise around the world.
The process is patented in all foreign
countries, and the foreign rights are not
covered by the Standard Oil deal The
inventor is a man named Hayes, who for
merly resided in San Francisco. The Salt
I.akers purchased his rights for $4,000, but
he retains royalty interest in the patent
The Sali Lake men who get the million cach
have expended just 10000 ON the inven-
ton. II is predicted 10y those familiar with
the process that it will cause a revolution in
Industrial methods.
