Susan Anthony in washington.

Miss Susan B. Anthony, the high
priestess of Woman Suffrage, is in the
city, prepared to take her usual &C
tive part in the thirty-sixth annual
convention of the National American
Woman's Suffrage Association.
Though eighty-four years old, she trav-
eled alone a railway journey of thir-
teen hours, and to all outward appear
ance is as spry, and active as she was
twenty years ago. She is the last
survivor of the little band of women
who started the Woman's Suffrage
movement fifty-six years ago. To real
lie how time and the sentiments of
people have changed, one has only to
remember how Miss Anthony was ridi-
culed, reviled, and caricatured a few
years ago. To-day she is one OF the
most loved, and honored women in
America. To her credit be 1t said that
she has never swerved from the thorny
path she marked out for herself more
than half a century ago.

FISHER SIGNS OLD STAR,
FORMERLY WITH BOSTON.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 13.-It was an
nounced here to-day that Manager
Fisher had signed Wiley Piatt, Bos-
toms star pitcher year or two ago.
He did not do so well last season and
was sold to Nashville. Piatt is a left
handler and will in all probability lead
the league in pitching. He is a strong
man with punches of speed and curves.
In addition his control is excellent.
The acquisition of Piatt has only
served to cause Fisher to redouble his
efforts to get Aubry and Abbatchio,
former stars of the two-times cham
pions of this city. Fisher is out to win
the pennant and money won't stand

Mr.. Proctor, the venerable and high
ly respected Senator from Vermont,
tells this story on himself: Some years
ago, when he was making a tour of
the West with his wife, and a party
of a dozen more, mostly ladies, a stop
was made at Salt Lake city. Mr.. and
Mrs. Proctor started out to do the
town and were Joined by most of the
ladies' of the party. Naturally, the
Senator and his wife headed the col
umn, the others following in couples.
1t happened on that very morning that
a. large company of tourists from the
East arrived in ire city of Latter
Day Saints. The tourists, too, we're
wandering about doing the town, agog
for sights" Catching sight of Sem
ator Proctor striding along with his
accustomed dignity followed by the
company of ladies, the tourists stood
stock still to let them pass. "Just see
that old Mormon going along there"
they exclaimed as they passed the
word along, and all took a good look
at him with severe expressions of coun-
tenance. There he is taking his
wives out walking" II suppose that
one walking with him is the first wife,
but which do you suppose is the fav-
orite?" wonder If those are all the
wives he's got?" remarked another.
Most out of wives, amt he?" said
the wAg of the party. Some of these
remarks about the wicked old Norman
and his wives were distinctly audible
to the Senator, and his party; but al
though the ladies blushed, and hung
their heads, all proceeded on their way
without a protest. No doubt when
those tourists reached home and gave
glowing account of the sights they
had seen, the supposed Norman, and
his eight or ten wives were not for
gotten. To this day should one Of them
come to the United States Senate, he
or she catching sight of the Senator
from Vermont would say, why, there s
the old Norman we saw in Utah"
