WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS HOLD
A MEMORIAL MEETING.

living the heroic deeds and many virtues
OF Elizabeth Cady Stanton. We may
speak OF her strong and tender love Tor
our universal humanity, recall the scenes
In her long and useful life that best ex-
pressed her large and many sided charac-
ter and her most pronounced tendencies.
Mrs. 5tanton's character was unique-a
harmonious unity OF loyal uncompromis-
Ing devotion TO truth and justice. as she
Interpreted them: united to mirthful-
ness that frightened the most gloomy out
look.
She had always before her mind an
ideal woman. unfettsrsd by legal. social
and domestic restrictions. But she also
saw and lived with the real woman. con-
tending with legal and political dlsabiu-
ties. and felt their full force. but was
never discouraged nor dismayed She
brought to her work a genial spirit and
sweet good will that never failed her. and
lover Of her sex and mankind she
had no superior. This happy combination
OF character won the hearts Of those who
came within her influence to remarkable
degree, and she had an enduring friend
ship. Mrs stanton was emiuently heroic
woman. She .faltered not In the path OF
duty though It involved the sacrifice OF
place and brought adverse Judgment and
censure, and even the loss OF friends
dearly priced and she continued the
friend and well-wisher even when bitter
ness and organized opposition were strong
against her.
"She feared no one. despised no one and
envied no one. In my long acqua aintance
with her she was ever ready 10 see and
recognize ability and talent. especially In
woman, and rejoiced i'm any new evidence
OF our mental strength and power Her
courage to pursue the work for our politi-
cal rights in the most discouraging times
and strengthened by opposition and de-
feat
ITO her we owe q deep debt OF gratitude
and thanksgiving for many OF the privi-
leges that we have today. To the very
end OF her life she rendered practical aid
TO the young and middle-aged and the
more advanced by her conversation, die
tated letters and printed words.
Her priceless legacy TO her children
and friends OF political and religious lib-
erty is the precious memory OF her noble
work for humanity. begun in her early
life for higher education. equality before
the law and increasing opportunities for
Improvement and cultivation. and con-
tinued TIL the last days Of her life. Her
last wishes were for the reign OF justice
and peace throughout the world Today
we enroll Elizabeth Cady Stanton among
the prominent teachers and preachers and
leaders OF our age

was Mrs. Janette French OF Pawtucket

Of Mrs. Stanton's writings on the suffrage
movement and read many selections from
her literary work by way OF illustration.

CURE TO
PRIEST
Captain BroWnelI Admits Ad-
visIng tho Treatment to Father
Augustine at BaFnate.

Washington, ID. c.. Nov. n.-cornelius
NJ. Brownell OF Burlington. VT, former
captain In the Twenty sixth Volunteer In
fantry. has nowledged that he advised
the administration OF the water cure TO
Father Augustine at Bansto In tho
Philippines from the effects OF wh!ch the
priest died
Captain Brownell's statement is a part
OF mass OF testimony presented to Sec
retary Root Tuesday by Judge Advocate
General Davis. Captain Brownell made
no report of Father Augustine's death to
his senior officer. and there was therefore
no record OF IL.
The war department consequently knew
nothing OF the matter until public atten.
ton was called to II In an open letter.
signed by Charles Fraacis Adams and
EJmber OF other prominent anti-imperial-
lists. Secretary Root directed the Judge
advocate general to obtain all possible
testimony from officers and men who had
served at Banate. and an army officer
was sent into New England T. examine
witnesses.
The Twenty-sixth Infantry. Of when
Captain Browneil was an officer, was re-
cruited at Fort Ethan Allen, VI.
Captain Brownell assisted the authori-
ties In the inquiry. showing no disposition
TO hold back any facts In the case. He
insists the water cure was administered
to Father Augustine solely as an act OF
war to secure from the prisoner informa-
tion as TO the whereabouts of the insur-
gents. Not only the war department. but
officers Of the army had no knowledge OF
the treatment OF Father Augustine. nor
any information regarding the matter un-
til the charges were made by the com
mittee ca anti-imperialists
The interesting fact brought out in the
case Is that Captain Brownell cannot be
punished for the act which he admits
having committed. The Philippines were
under military rufe at that time and Can
tain Brownell Is not now In the military
service.
There Is no tradition law under which
he can be taken to the Philippines and
tried As the offence was committed
under the statute which was not at th.t
tine defined and over which the United
states laws had not been extended. II is
held by authorities here 10 have been a
violation OF Spanish laws in the Philip-
pines, and therefore the offender cannot
be tried I'm this country
In view OF the fact that furtb.r nv.
ceedings cannot be taken against the
crenoer In this case Secretary Root has
determined to recommend to congress M
tne coming session an amendment OF the
Ph,iippine law permitting the extraditi,n
OF Violators or the state statutes in either
the United states or the Philippine ISL
amos.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
Rhode Island Woman Suffrage associa-
tion was held I'm the small ball OF the
T. M. G. A, with the president. Mrs. A.
G. Dewing. In the chair. The meeting
opened with devotional exercises by Mrs.
Deborah Knox Livingstone. after which
the president announced that the meeting
was held In memory OF Elizabeth Cady
Stanton. She then introduced as the
chief speaker OF the afternoon Miss
Esther +. Boland OF Boston.
in opening her address Miss Boland al
laded first TO the former inferior position
OF women. Contrasting the position OF
women Of century or more ago with
the condition OF women OF the present day
and generation Miss Boland declared that
much of this progress was due to the
work or Elizabeth Cady Stanton,
Continuing. Miss Roland dwsit briefly
Elizabeth Cady Stanton I'm the advance
ment or women. particularly with respect
to the education OF women. Let us
past when the higher education IL not
considered best for the mothers OF the
land"
After considering the life work OF Mrs.
stanton Miss Boland gave an Interesting
sketch OF her life and the circumstances
and training which influenced her To be-
woman suffrage. The speaker enlarged
also upon the political changes which
followed In the wake OF Elizabeth Cady
Stanton's agitation for suffrage Her un-
usual views about the Bible and It's teach
ings concerning women wer. Also de-
scribed by the speaker. together with
reference to her religious belief.
Miss Boland touched also upon the i'm
portance and character OF Mrs. Stantons
literary work and I'm closing. raised the
query What shall we take as a special
lesson from the life OF Elizabeth cady
Stanton?"
First we should emulate her desire to
declare the truth.
Second. We should be inspired by her
energetic efforts to bring the truth TO
pass.
Third We must prove our loyalty 10
her by carrying the work so well begun
and while rejoicing over the gains OF the
past we must not be unmindful OF what
remains to be done" ...
At the close of Miss Boland's address
a letter was read by the secretary from
Mrs. Charlotte Il. Wilbur. a member or
the Rhode Island Woman Suffrage assoc
citation and wealthy and influential wo-
man In New York city. whose summers
are spent al Little Compton. r. |. The
letter which will be OF interest to many
OF her friends here. Is follows:

In "The American Girl" which is to be produced at the Grand Opera House next Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, with matinee Saturday, H, Grattan Donnely has taken q big step forward in the direction of good, legiti mate play-writing. The play has deep story and is of absorbing interest. It is true to nature, the situations are start ling and effective and there are con- stant surprises. Of course MT Donnel- ly's name is an assurance of good com edy. The company is one of unusual strength, headed by the versatile come dian, George r. Hall. The author has furnished two unusually good children parts, which are played by little Daisy Stampe and little Oracle Russell.

pressure and United States Leather stocks did not fully maintain their ad- vance. Amalgamated Copper, however, was consistently firm and closed at the top with net gain of points. Reports of the consolidation of the copper prop critics of the principal rival interests made the bears in the stock timid and they covered heavily.
 A judicial decision upholding the New York franchise tax weakened the New York public utilities and caused some sympathetic response elsewhere. De- creased earnings reported by the Amer ican Car and Foundry company de- pressed that stock. The coalers were affected by the announcement that the summer schedule of prices, represent ing a reduction of fifty cents per ton from the winter schedule, was in force to- day instead of being postponed until May 1, as was expected. The fact that the dispute with the miners is still open was an additional influence.
 The money market was distinctly cas- fer, both for call and time loans and the large disbursements payable to-day are expected to further increase the re-
 
 dend and interest disbursements were estimated at upwards of $60, OOO00O. The London money market was also easy day and sterling exchange at Paris recovered a fraction, so that the ad- vance in sterling here left margin still between the market and the gold export point. But this influence seemed to be ignored, as the ease of the money market is not expected to prevail for any length of time. The British loan will soon be announced and foreign banking houses in New York expect that there will be American subscrip- tions which will increase the demand for remittance in addition to the nat ural attraction for gold which will re- suit from the hardening of the London money market
 The March statement of federal finances shows a surplus for the month of sS,273,413, which is less than mill lion under the surplus for March of last year The available cash balance in the treasury, which has been held down in the neighborhood of s17O000,000 for many months by the redemption of government bonds. has now run up to nearly SITS 0000, with the prospect of a considerable daily addition with the redemption of government bonds sus- pended. The security of the New York money market from future complica- tion is, therefore, not clear, and this continues to be repressive influence on speculation.

The attendance at Polls last night was very large and the show proved q success in every respect. Miss Der tha Waltzinger and George Boniface, Jr., are heading the bill in the playlet, 'The Woman Who Hesitates is Won, [" and this little piece, besides it's clever ness affords Miss Waltzjnger a favora- ble vehicle for introducing several songs. Her voice is magnificent and her style and culture add to the pleas ure of the concert.
 The bill is full of jolly acts that keep the house in .roars of laughter. The Four Otis in '"The mart Set" Hickey and Nelson in Twisted and Tangled" the Bison City Quartette in comedy and songs and George c. Davis, the monolo- gist, afford mirthful session that could hardly be eXcelled.

Considerable Selling and Dropping
 Prices.

New York, April 1.-The staenant condition of the London market this morning upon the resumption of trad ing after the four days interval still further deferred the hopes of the spec ulatiVe contingent which has been counting upon an awakened interest in the stock market. The continued ab- sence from the street of large capital ists and the coming departure for Eu- rope of the central figure of the tinan- cial district had further discouraging effect upon the smaller traders who have been protesting confidence that the powers in the money world were going to put stocks up" The conse- quence was considerable selling by holders and dropping market Tho sagging tendency gradually permeate& the whole list, overcoming the strength of those specialties which rose strongly early in the day.

"'rhe Night Before Christmas" is a beautiful pastoral play. It is a simple story of honely people of the hearth stone, of Christmastide. of prattling lit tie children and of serene old age. A recent criticism of this play by a New York paper puts it that if there were more plays like The Night Before Christmas there would be no necessity for the cry to purify the stage" The play will be at the Grand Opera House next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with matinee Wednesday,
