Woman,s Lost Citizenship.


Last year we presented TO the Senate q
memorial praying that some means might
be provided by which a'woman who had
contracted, a foreign marriage might re-
cover her lost citizenship. This memorial
was placed. in the hands Of Senator Plat
of New York, who has always been q
stanch friend of our cause. and he paid to
It the rare compliment Of reading II in full
in the Senate himself. Recently we have
heard Of the most substantial gain that has
yet been ours. Senator Hoar of Massachu-
sstts has carefully investigated the existing
conditions, corresponding with Secretary
Hay ON the matter, and as a result. as the
most speedy and most satisfactory manner
of relieving the existing conditions, he has
introduced in the Senate bill which pro-
vtdes that q woman who has married for
eigner may at once go to the circuit court
in her district and declare that she wishes
to resume her citizenship. whereupon the
judge shall give to her certificate declar-
ing that she has thus recovered her rights
as an American, We cannot hope that at
this late date the bill will pass both houses.
but we have good reason to believe that
with the powerful support the measure now
has 1t will be enacted into law within an
other year.
'"There are other points which the wo-
men of the District may with propriety
urge and one Is the present outrageous In
equality Of the pay of the women employees
here. Already women have shown their
power by protests and agitation In doing
away with wrongs of which they had to
complain, and am quite sure that a con-
tinued agitation here would be of the great
est benefit in securing better pay and more
equal conditions. OF course, We all realize
that we shall never have an equal and fair
compensation for work until we can WELD
that great weapon of power, the ballot, but
let us do what we can while We are waiting
for the happy day which shall make US

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS
QUALIFICATION OVER DEFEAT OF

Alleged Cruel and Unjust Laws in All

sired Reforms.
THE ANNUAL ADDRESS

After authorizing the formation of local
branch and adopting resolutions asking
that the passage of the Gallinger bill, pro-
viding for suffrage in the District, be with
held until that measure is so amended as 10
allow the women the same privilege, ana
expressing qualification over the death OF
the omnibus statehood bill. because 1t con-
tanned no clause granting women the right
of franchise, the third annual conference
of the National Legislative League, which
convened at the Oxford Hotel Tuesday
came to close last evening, with pubic
meeting in the banquet hall Of the Cochran
Hotel. -
The session was most enthusiastic and
was largely attended by ladies OF the city
who are interested in the work OF the
league. Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood OF this
city was a prominent figure and took g
most active part in the proceedings. being
the author Of the two resolutions wmch
were, as stated above, adopted. relative TO
woman suffrage.
Annual Review Of Affairs.
During the evening the president Of the
league, Mrs. Lille Devereux Blake OF New
York, delivered her annual address, which,
in part. follows:
'"rhe National Legislative League was
formed three years ago because it was feis
that while there were many clubs and or
ganizations of women interested In various
reforms there was no one of them all which
devoted itself to securing better laws for
the members Of their sex, the dfsfran-
chised half Of our people. With the ex-
ception OF the four free states, wyoming.
Colorado. Utah and Idaho, there Is not one
of our commonwealth which does not show
on it's statute books the most cruel. unjust
and oppressive Determinations against the
wives and mothers in the inheritance OF
property. and against the unmarried women
in the matter Of wages. We are trying to
aid those who are struggling to secure bet
ter conditions in all parts of the Union.
LAS a national organization our greatest
efforts have been directed toward the rem
edy of the existing usage which causes an
American woman who has married for
eigner to lose her citizenship In the United
States as a consequence Of such wedlock.
Judging by the experiences OF some OF our
girls who have entered into such unions
there has been punishment enough IN the
generally unsatisfactory conditions which
follow such an alliance without adding loss
of citizenship The fourteenth amendment
sons born or naturalized in the United
States are citizens thereof This made wo-
men citizens and that citizenship has been
acknowledged in many ways, one OF the
most important being the protection which
follows q citizen over all the world. The
loss Of such protection has been potent
cause Of injury to some Of our women, and
as in none of the territories or the District
Of Columbia may an alien own land 1t has
worked direct pecuniary loss In many In
stances.

Literary Notes.

The idea for "Jeckyll and Hyde came to
Stevenson in dream, and he began it as
soon as he rose on the following morning.
His wife could hardly get him away from
his table even for meals. The first draft
of the tale was finished within seven days.
1t appears that that now familiar and GER
tainly very good phrase, THE Kailyard
School," was invented by Mr.. w. f.. Hen
ley. He gave it as title to an article, pub
lished in THE New Review when he was
editing that periodical, by Mr. j. II. Millar,
author of the Literary History of Scot
land which will soon be brought out in
this country.
Books once owned by Thackeray have
been bringing remarkable prices at an auc-
ton sale in London. Some of them contain
pencil sketches and original verses. These
fetch the highest prices. Thus, 500 was paid
for copy of the first edition of Charles
Tennysons 'Sonnets and Fugitive Pieces"
1880, with Thackeray's signature. two
sketches and original poem of twelve
lines by him. entitled Written in Soil
tude." The prices of some of the other
books owned by the novelist ranged from
about 1905 down to $3.50 the prices depend
ing upon the number of pencil sketches
added by Thackeray. Among them were
some school books
