sometimes even tramping on foot
and often meeting with most discour-
aging, even insulting rebaffs. In 1868
she founded women's rights paper,
the Revolution, and managed it for
several years.
There is scarcely state in the
union where Miss Anthony has not
worked, and she has lectured widely
both in America and England. Since
1869 she has been granted hearing
before committees of every congress.
During the "a years of the existence
of the National Woman Suffrage asso-
citation she has held high offices and is
now president of that organization.
Her contributions to leading maya
zines have been many. With Mrs.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Mrs. Ma
tilda Joslyn Gage she is joint author of
three-volume work, "The History
of Woman Suffrage"
In the preface TO her "Life and Work
of Susan B. Anthony" Ida Hustled
Harper says: "The transition of the
young Quaker GIRL afraid of the
sound of her own voice, into the re-
former, orator and stateswoman, is
no more wonderful than the change
in the status of woman, effected so
largely through her exertions. To-day
American women are envied by those
of all other nations, and stand COM
paratively free individuals. with the
exception of political disabilities. Dur
ing the so years which have wrought
this revolution, just one woman in all
the world has given every day of her
time, every dollar of her money, every
power of her being, to secure this re-
suit. She was impelled to this work
by no personal grievance, but solely
through deep sense of the injustice
which, on every side, she saw perpetu-
ated against her sex, and which she
determined to combat. Never for one
short hour has the cause of woman
been forgotten or put aside for any
other object. Never a single tie has
been formed, either OF affection or
business, which would interfere with
this supreme purpose. Never speech
has been given, a trip taken, visit
made, letter written, in all this half
century, that has not been done di-
rectly in the interest of this one OBJ
ject. There has been no thought of
personal comfort, Advancement or
glory; the self-abnegation, the self
sacrifice, have been absolute-they
have been unparalleled"

BEFORE THE BATTLE
SOME EUROPEAN OPINIONS OF
THE OPPOSING ARMIES.
German and French War Experts Pre-
: diet Russian Victories on Land
English Critics Not Quite
as Unanimous.

Events in tne far east have not modi-
fed the view, repeatedly set forth in
London organs, that decisive battle
on land between the forces of Russia
and those Of Japan will not take place
for the present The naval question
must first be settled as the London
Times put is. although the London
Standard remembers that war is full oil
surprises" What we are now witness
ing, according to the strategists whose
ANONYMOUS views find their way into
the Mail and the News OF London, is
series of skirmishes on land, although
the sea fighting must be hot, AS
means Of forecasting the fate OF the
first great land battle. English newspa-
pers are calculating the size OF the Rus
sian army available on the spot. The
London Times feels certain that l5O,-
600 men are all that can be accounted
for east of Lake Baikal, and it has
formed a very erroneous impression OF
the facts If Russia can strengthen her
army much beyond the figure given ow-
ing to the condition of the Siberian rail-
way. But the well-edited military or
gan, the Militar Wochenblatt (Berlin),
supposed to be an exponent of the opin-
ions of the German general staff. pre-
sets the military situation in different
light. 1t calculates that Russia has
231, 450 available troops in the far east,
and that the famous and much-discussed
railway can afford them adequate trans
portation. These forces are divided
by the military organ into two classes
one ready for the field at any mo
ment and amounting to 174,950 men,
and the other constituting reserve for
garrison and general guard purposes.
Officers as well as rank and file are rep
resented as in good condition.
AS regards Japan, the difference be-
tween English opinion and continental
opinion is not less marked; for, while
the London organs already named con-
slider the mikado able to send out as an
advance army at least 100000 men and
to supplement the force with perhaps
$4,000 troops in addition, the Militar
Wochenblatt considers Japan's utmost

Possibly no woman ever lived" says
one of her friends, who has given so
many years of active work to re-
formatory measure and has been left
with such wonderful vitality"
Born at South Adams, Mass, in 1890,
this girl of Quaker parentage was early
taught the Importance of courage, self
reliance and of thinking and acting for
oneself. Indeed, courage has always
been her strongest characteristic. Miss
Anthony's early education was OBJ
tanned from school supported by her
father for his own children and those
of the neighborhood, and later at a
Quaker boarding-school in West phila-
delphia. AT about this time her fam
lily moved to Battenville, n. y. She be-

old, however, her father, a cotton man
ufacturer of considerable wealth, lost
every penny of his fortune. The
teaching had to be continued and it
was IL years later before Miss An
thony gave up this line of work for the
one which has made her so well known
all over the world She was teaching
away from home when the first wom-
ans rights convention was called at
Rochester. Later she became interest
ed in it's cause and has ever since been
its most ardent supporter. In 1852 she
aided in organizing the first State
Woman's Temperance society On. W.
She became active during the civil war

Deepest Known Gold Mine.

What is believed to be the deepest
gold mine in the world is being worked
at Bendigo, Australia. The mine in
question, which is called the New Chum
Railway mine. has sunk its main shaft
to depth OF 1900 feet, or only 60 feet
short of three-quarters of mile. The
chief problem Is how to keep the tunnels
and general workings cool enough for
the miners to work in at such depth.
1t is usually about 10S degrees, and, to
enable the men to work at all, spray
OF cold water let down from above has to
be kept continually playing on the bodies
naked from the waist upward-of the
miners. Even then they cannot work
hard. or they would faint from exnaus-
ton.

This authority forms poor estimate Of

unwarranted. Russian organs affect to

a Russian military expert, Mr. p. Krass-
noff, in the Russ (St. Petersburg). be-
ing typical:
THE japanese cavalry sit very inse-
curely on their ill-saddled little steeds,
and the troops, when seen near at hand,
have poor and badly drilled aspect.
And these people want to take the field

up that there is nothing grander than to

They will be led by officers burning with
hatred of Russia. They will land on the
shore of the Asiatic continent, in an
almost boundless expanse of territory,

Lerum, who have played on the team
for two seasons, are being considered
as assistants. Ii Is regretted by those
in favor of the alumni system that in
most cases the change To tins method

among the schools of the west is Illi-

and simple but yet was strong with II
linois and in some respects regarded as
an alumnus. He was succeeded BY a
long list of special coaches, who under
the conditions at Illinois proved prac-
tical failures They failed largely be-
cause Of their youth in the coaching
line and because they either did not
have the brain to develop under Illinois
conditions or did not stick to the task
as Stage and Yost have done. Yost.
however, had his preliminary ups and
downs with other schools and learned
many valuable lessons. Illinois coaches
have never had that opportunity. 1t is
thought that perhaps an alumnus
would, as with the case of Curtis at
Wisconsin, have the regard and conf
dence OF the school and be permitted
to work out system 1t seems now
very likely that the ex-center rush,
Lowenthal, of Illinois, will be the man
selected to inaugurate a return to the
old-time style of coaching at Illinois.
Mccormack at Northwestern has
three-year contract When he quits he
hopes to see an alumni system of
coaching established. Should he do so
and have successful teams the next two
years, 1t will be the first winning school
to quit one system and go to the other
with its eyes open. And severe task
1t will be for the poor alumnus who
steps in at that critical time and a blow
it will be to the school should the sys-
tenn fail to make good at the jump-off.
