Drink Mixer.
Milwaukee, July 6.-Fred Alex, a
bartender at the Bismarck hotel, shot
and seriously wounded Martha Weise
yesterday in the kitchen of Arnold S
saloon on Jefferson street. He then
turned the revolver on himself and in
fiicted a wound in the right breast
which will probably prove fatal. Alex
had frequently called on Mrs. Weise,
and, it is said. threatened to shoot her
if she continued TO refuse his suit.
Mrs. Weise is a widow and her age is
26 years. Her husband died last
Christmas, Alex is "a years old.
A examination at the hospital
showed that Axel was more seriously
injured than Mrs. Weise. 1t was
thought there was some hope for her,
but none for him. AXel was formerly
cooper, but gave up his trade to be-
come a mixer Of drinks.

be unanimous. The negative vote of
one of thejthree will veto the matter.

Clark of Boston. Unlike some of it's
predecessors, the meeting was held
within the confines of the Music Hall
auditorium and not under canvas in
the open air After his greeting, Pres
ident Clark relinquished the gavel to
Bishop Samuel Fallows of Chicago,
who presided throughout the meeting.
Secretary of State Laylin welcomed
the delegates to the buckeye state
for Gov George Nash, whose physician
advised against his coming, and
Bishop Fallows responded. The fol-
lowing telegram was read from Presi-

my cordial greetings, and best wishes
for the success of the sessions. | re-

secretary Of the Christian Endeavor-
ers society of that country, brought
greetings from the far-off land in a
scroll of Japanese which he read to
the great delight of the audience in
his native tongue.
The climax of the meeting was
cached near it's conclusion, when
Bishop Fallows announced President
Clark

PEOPLE OF PROMINENCE.

Francesca Raines Gage, wife of Gov
ernor Henry T. Gage of California, is
a native daughter of the golden state.
On her mothers side she is descended
from one of the most prominent fami-
lies of the early Spanish settlers OF
Los Angeles. Her father was one of
the American pioneers of California.
Like many others of the Argonauts, he
marred one of the handsome senoritas
for which the province of California
was noted when it was still a de-
tendency of Mexico. This comming-
ling of Anglo-SaXon and Spanish blood
has produced women of a beautiful
type, of which Mrs. Gage is fair
specimen. Mrs. Gage was born on her
fathers ranch near Los Angeles about
forty years ago. She spent her girl
hood in the city of Los Angeles and
vicinity and was educated in the pub
lie and private schools of Los Angeles
county. When scarcely out of her
teens she met and became affianced
to Henry T. Gage, who was then a
youthful member of the Los Angeles
bar, with his fortune yet to make.
Their marriage resulted after a short
courship and the union proved a most
happy one. Governor and Mrs. Gage
have two children, son aged Is, who
is an invalid as the result of an injury
received while playing, and charming
little girl, Lucille, aged 8, who is the
pride and JOY of the executive man
sion.

EASTERN PEACH CROP.
Maryland and Delaware Product Es-
timated at Two Million Baskets.


Clayton, Del, July special Agent
l. N Mills of the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore Railroad, has
received the estimates Of railroad
agents in the Maryland and Delaware
peninsula as to the peach crop of
1901, and the total estimate is of a
production of 100000 baskets. There
is every indication that the fruit will
be of good size and fine quality. In
some localities the trees are so full of
fruit that the farmers have thinned
them so that the peaches left may
grow larger and of more delicate
flavor.
The corresponding estimate last sea-
son was of over 100000 baskets.
This season there VIII not be more
than half full crop, which means for
the grower better prices and exemp-
ton from the usual gluts in the city
markets.

Home and State.

One of the popular arguments against
woman suffrage is that which makes the
hcme and the state separate institutions,
and assigns woman to take care of the
home and man to take care of the state.
This argument" proves nothing but
the ignorance of the person who ad-
vances it.
Prof. Woodrow Wilson in his admir-
able work on Historical and Practical
Politics. says:
What is known of the central nations
of history clearly reveals the fact that
social organization, and consequently
government, originated in kinship. In
other words, the original state was a
family. Historically the state Of today
may be regarded as. in an important
sense, only on enlarged family; state
is family writ large
The care of the family devolves equal
ly on man and woman. No one argues
that man has no right to interest him
self in affairs of state merely because
hc is husband and father No one
argues that because he has charge of the
state he is ,incapacitated for marrying
and founding fon home. And legislator
who would advance such propositions
The representative., 1901-02-28

would be speedily ridiculed into ST.
hence. But, on every hand, from the
lips of the foremost statesmen of the
day, you will hear that women have
nothing to do with politics or the state,
because the home Is the wOmans sphere
and If she concerns herself with politics
OF the affairs of state, she cannot be
good wife or a good mother or good
housekeeper. And, meanwhile, In all
our great universities the student of So
siology and practical politics finds on
the first page Of his text book that
"State is only family writ large
1t follows from this that the state is
as much woman's sphere as it is mans;
that il man can take practical interest
in his home and the state at the same
time, SO can woman; and instead Of
saying "Woman's sphere is the home:
therefore she must keep out of politics"
we must show our knowledge of his
tory and sociology by saying: "Woman's
sphere is the home; therefore she must
concern herself with politics, for home
and state are one."
