counters in the various state Legis-
latures? Not in the least. When the
agitation for equal rights first began
1t was almost impossible to have the
question considered at all by legisIa-
tive bodies. However, there always
has existed among civilized men a
greater or less sentiment of Justice
and chiValIy toward ONE When
the latter would present their bills
for suffrage, and also for the modi-
hcation of some especially unjust law.
the former would be thrown aside
without debate and the latter event
uaIIy granted as a sort of concession.
Nhen | remember that l myself and
the small handful Of women who were
associated with me went up to the
New York Legislature, petition in
hand, for ten years before we could
get a law giving married women con
troI Of the wage they earned; when
l recollect that a little band of wo-
men, headed by Lucy Stone and Rev.
Anna Shaw, beSieged tho Massachu-
ISetts Legislature ten years before they
were successful in getting the legal
right for a wife to be buried in her
husbands cemetery lot; and when I
recall many other instances quite as
outrageous | am not surprised that the
yielding OF the great fundamental pow
er Of the suffrage has been so long de-
layed.
At first, as has been said. Legisla-
lures refused any consideration what
ever of this question. Then it pro
crossed to the stage of being taken uD
and made the subject of rihaldry and
abuse which seem incredible at the
present day. Now it has reached the
plane of digni1ied argument and it is
seldom hat any Legislature rejects
such a bill without q certain amount
of discussion. This question has oc-
Cupied a full days session of the Uni
ted States Congress on several occa-
SlOns. 1t was debated a few years ago
for two days in a respectful manner
in the Massachusetts House of Rep
resentatiVes, it has been the subject
of serious discussion in half a dozen
Legislatures within a recent period. Al
every session of the New York Legis-
form receives careful consideration
and seldom fails to pass either the Sen
ate or the assembly by q large ma
jority. In all legislatures it is no un-
common occurrence fo~ In bill t.

defeated in the other by a bare mar
gin. Sometimes only a vote for a re-
consideration saves it from complete
success. sometimes it does carry and
goes to the voters fer ratification.
Eleven Legislatures have thus submit
ted the question and five have taken
this action twice, with an increased af-
hrmatIve vote, as has been shown.

THIS BRIDES WOODEN LEG SAVED A VOTE
Groom Slept Acquired Residence for Election Pur
poses. A SideLight Cincinnati Politics

A Cincinnati dispatch says the
Hamilton county board of elections
has solemnly advised Harry Ernstes,
grocer, to sleep one night with his
absent brides wooden leg in order to
gain a residence for election pur-
poses.
Ernstes seems to have lost a
home when he gained a wife in
Oldenbrg, Ind, ten days ago. He
is an economical German and in or
der to save expense it has been his
habit to sleep under the counter in
the rear of his grocery.
When he returned with his bride
Oct. 10 he discovered that he had
neglected to provide any home for
her, and since then he has been
sleeping in his old place, while his
bride takes turns sleeping at the
homes of his relatives.

Accused Is Discharged and States
Witness Held for Perjury.
Walter Edmonds, white man &C
cused of being a rioter, and indicted
on the charge of stabbing to death
Frank Smith, a negro messenger boy
on Saturday night of the Atlanta
riot. was ordered released in Fulton
court Tuesday, and Tom Oaks, a
Young white boy, on whose testimony
he was indicted, ordered held for
perjury.
The sensational denoument caused
a great surprise The witness, Tom
Oaks. was on the stand and he de-
clined to swear to the testimony de-
livered by him before the grand jury,
and stated that he could not tell
whether Edmonds was the man ne
saw stab the negro or not.
He also stated that an alleged dep
utv. named ''Mr. Webb" had told
him if he testified against Edmonds
he would be prosecuted. A case OF
contempt has been ordered placed
against Webb, and the court officers
are looking for him.

The Ohio election laws provide
that a married mans residence shall
be wherever his wifes is.
When Ernstes went to register so
he could vote he found that by mar
rying he had lost his old grocery
residence, and since he had not pro-
vided his bride with one he had not
gained new one. His wife's migra-
tory spirit prevented her claiming
a relatives home as hers.
The difficulty was solved when the
board learned that the bride was
blessed with a wooden leg, and adj
vised him that he might register and
vote if he would take the wooden
leg to bed with him in the rear of
his grocery store. A law for certain
cases will, the board thinks, re-
quires him to do this only one night
in order to make his old residence
hers and thereby his own again.

Still the King Is Increased in Stature
Every Year.
Cotton is king, declared James
Henry Hammond on the floor of the
United States senate as far back as
1863. But even that optimistic
statesman did not foresee the time
when, Of the worlds total produc-
ton for it's annual output of ST.
600, 100000 worth of cotton goods,
the United States was to supply
three-fourths
For the year ending June 80,
1905, Americas cotton exports were
valued at $41O,657,752, as against
$41O,2O5,653 for all other agricul-
tural exports. In addition, the pros
porous planters sold more than
00,0O0,O0O worth to feed the 25,
100000 spindles of this country.
And still the king is increasing in
stature. During the fiscal year just
ended raw cotton and cotton goods
to the value of $453, 100000 were
exported, while American looms were
busy with an increased quota. All
the gold mined in the world last year
would have paid southern farmers
for only half their crop.

HERE'S A PRETTY HOWDY DO
The New Railroad Rate Bill VIII Open Parlor Dining
Room and Sleeping Cars to Negroes

Colored passengers are compelled nv
IHe railroads. to ride in what are
commonly known as Jim Crow
cars, which are usually filthy and
uncomfortable, and are denied also
the right to eat in railroad dining
cars and occupy berths in sleeping
cars because of their color. This
is a violation of the Hepburn rail-
road rate law, which was passed by
almost unanimous vote of repub-
licans and democrats in congress.
and which vests your body with
power to force equality of treat
ment.
Many lawyers who have studied
the Hepburn law are of the opinion
that the commission must hold that
it makes the separation of the races
on interstate trains illegal, and that
the commission must render de-
cision that will open all parlor cars,
sleeping cars, and dining cars to all
negroes willing to pay for accommo-
dations in them. Such a decision
will make conditions of railway
travel in the south such that white
men will be afraid to allow the wo-
men of their families to travel alone,
especially in sleeping cars, where
white woman might have a berth
under one occupied by a negro man.

BACK TO him.
Away back in the eighties "
Burns owned an animal store One
day box of boa constructors from
South America arrived Burns open
ed the box and put his hand in to
take them out, when, with shout
of pain, he suddenly drew it out.
One of the young boas had sunk his
fangs in his right thumb and the
jerk had broken the tooth off in
the wound.
Boas from Brazil are not, as a
rule, poisonous, and aside from the
pain Burns felt no i'll effects. The
wound was dressed and all of the
broken fang, it was thought, re
moved. Since then Burns has gone
through many varied phases of life.
He failed in business, went out on
the road with circus, was in a hos
pital a long time with a broken leg,
and three years ago became a keep
err at the Central Park Zoo. Several
times in the last twenty years Burns
has experienced the feeling of being
pricked with needles in different

TIRED OF CHINESE HUSBAND
MRS. GOULD'S SISTER AND HER
CHINK ARE NOT so LOVING.
Mfr. Sun Yue's Daily Income of Two
Dollars Not Enough for Her
P0etical Existence.

P0etical Existence.
1t has developed that the founda-
ton of the report that Mrs. Sun
Yue, formerly Miss Ella Clemmons,
sister of Mrs. Howard Gould, of New
York-she who was once Katheryn
Clemmons-has grown tired of the
Chinese bridegroom whom she took
unto herself" recently is the fact
that Sun 'Yue, who is employed as
a bricklayer on the work of the
rehabilitation of San Francisco at So
day, has failed to provide from
this daily wage sufficient funds for
a practical, not to say poetical ex-
istence
Just after this marriage, which,
by the way, is prohibited by the laws
of California and so amazed and
shocked the people of San Francisco,
between the sister of Howard
Gould's wife and Chinaman the
bride was very outspoken in express
sions of belief in happy future for
herself. She declared that she had
married the Chinaman because she
loved him, and if her friends in San
Francisco would not receive them
they would go to China and spend
the remainder of their days there.
But the romance is apparently at
an end, and it is believed that the
young woman now has nothing but
regret for her action.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sun Yue are living
in a tent in what, before the earth
quake and fire, was the heart of
Chinatown, the scene of her mis-
sionary labors for years. During the
first weeks of her honeymoon she
was very emphatic in justifying her
act To an interviewer she said:
what was more natural than that
| should become the wife of Chi
nese? The greater part of my life
has been spent among them. They
are a good, kind people and are much
misunderstood. l do not know how
people will receive my husband; that
is, do not know how they will look
upon my heroic step. In case they
are not kind l shall go to China and
there spend the rest of my life"
Asked how her sister, Mrs. Gould,
and the family of which the latter
has become a member, regarded her
"heroic STEP" she said that she did
not know, and added:
my sister and I are very differ
ent. Ny sister was born to reign
I was born to do the work I am
doing. 1 love my sister, but l have
not heard from her in eight years,
and do not think I shall visit her
now"
"How do you like the notoriety
that has been thrust upon your" was
asked.
"Did you like the earthquake"
was the meaningful reply.
But Mrs. Sun Yue has found that
it is one thing to be a missionary
among the Chinese and quite an
other to be the wife of one of them.

CARRIED FANGS 20 YEARS
THE KEEPER OF A NEW YORK
700 WAS BITTEN BY "A BOA.
The Snakes Tooth Entered His Left
Thumb and Came Out of His
Right Thumb.

Right Thumb.
A New York dispatch says that
Donald Burns, keeper of the bird
house in the Central Park Zoo" be-
ing 55 years of age, naturally has
experienced the loss of a few teeth,
with regret, but there was no sor-
row in the going of the one he got
rid of the other day. 1t was a
snakes tooth, three-eights of an
inch in length, which he had been
carrying around in his body for
many years without knowing it.
Burns was bitten on the left
thumb by a boa constructor twenty
years ago. While he was attending
to his work this week he eXpe-
rienced a sharp pain in his right
thumb. There was a small lump on
the inside of the thumb, with a
point protruding A little incision
brought to light piece OF the
snakes fang. 1t had been circulat-
ing around in the mans body, and
was polished smooth by the friction
1t had encountered in it's journey.
For a time Burns couldn't think
what the little piece of ivory might
be, but before long the story came
