selves, grasped her message and her
very name became a term of derision.
She was caricatured, insulted, jeered at
and maligned. In the early days of the
movement Women's Rights was the
synonym for dress reform, for neglect
ed home duties for rabid political
tendencies and for unwomanly women.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was Miss
Anthony's earliest ally. Together they
conducted one campaign after another
seemingly making but little Roadway
at first. They Travelled all over the
country, going from place to place in
open wagons, stage coaches or what
ever other conveyance was obtainable,
and from door to door on foot. They
endured many hardships and were sub
jected to insults innumerable. People
said of them that Mrs. Stanton made
the balls and Miss Anthony fired them.
She proved her good craftsmanship by
making every ball count.
Partial Suffrage in Many States.
Il never saw that tall, stately Quaker
girl coming across my lawn" said Mrs.
Stanton, but what / knew another
bomb-shell was to be hurled into some
assembly of men,"
Miss Anthony was arrested and fined
for illegal voting in 1872. She had
cast ballot at the election. She never
paid the fine. Since then four states
have granted the right of suffrage to
women; 20 states have given them the
right to vote at school elections, and
New York permits women taxpayers to
vote on all questions affecting the tax
alton of property. For years Miss
Anthony hoped to live to see woman
elected and inaugurated as President
of the United States, but she has a.
bandoned that hope now, realizing that
such a thing will not come to pass in
her day.
Her life is now less strenuous and
she and her sister, Mary, have a quiet
pretty home at Rochester N. Y. She
keeps in touch with every cause in the
interest of or for the advancement of
woman, and in her voluminous cores
pondence continues to give advice and
counsel to women in all Quarters of
the globe. Out of her little workshop
in the attic of the Rochester home
comes much of the ammunition used
in continuing the battle for suffrage
Six years ago, at the age of 80 she
learned to operate typewriter, which
she employs in her personal cores
pondence andsin carving on her work.
Time has dealt gently with her She
is still stately and erect. and her step
has the vigor and elasticity Of most
women many years her junior. Her
memory Is undulled by age, all of her
faculties seem to retain the keenness
which made her such a. power in the
prime of her life. Her interest in the
worlds affairs is undated, and her
mind is attuned to every movement
having for its object the betterment
of mankind.

STOCK EXCHANGE SEATS.
Points of Vantage Where Millions
Are Maze land LosO While You
Wait.

In keeping with the recent remark.
able rise in stock prices in this coun-
| try is the rapid advance in rates at
which New York Stock Exchange
seats are selling. The membership of
the Exchange is strictly limited to
], 100, and seats are therefore objects
of ardent desire on the part of many
hundreds of market operators, to
whom a membership would be mate
rally valuable A month ago a seat
sold for $4,000, record price. A few
days ago membership rights were sold
for $4,000 and one seat was bought
at the unprecedented price of $4,000.
1t is believed that if there is another
transaction of this character soon the
price will reach 100000. or somewhat
more than so per cent. greater than
the rate at which seats were sold two
years ago. In 1872 Stock Exchange
seats sold for $4,000, and this was re-
garded as high.
An idea of the reason why Wall |
Street operators are anxious to OBJ !
tain the right to transact their bust |
ness on the floor of the Exchange
is gained from the fact that the stock
nowadays average close
upon 100000 shares a day. If every
of the Exchange were active,
and if the business were evenly di-
vided, such a daily business would give
to each member commission upon
about $50 shares, amounting to a
yearly income of $32,700 This is, of
course, entirely apart from individual
operations and profits
These Stock Exchange seats are re-
sarded as assets There has been in
he past some trading in them for the
'ake of the profits gained by the rise
n the rate, but the tendency was dis
outraged by rigid enforcement of the
ule that the purchaser must be ac-
'eptable to the governors of the Ex-
hange. Men now sell their seats only
\ urgent reason, such as failure of
lealth, or removal to other fields. In
he latter case the New York seat is
more profitably turned into
ash, at the high rates now prevailing,
han to be held for future use. When
member of the exchange dies, his
xecutors sell his seat for the highest
btainable rate. The bidding is often
pirited, and some Of the most strik-
1g advances in the record prices have
cen scored in this way,

MILLIONALRES FOR WATERS.
Caddies Feasted as Guests of the
Germantown Cricket Club, Near
PHILADELPHIA

Millionaires and men of promin-
ence in the business and social life
of the city turned walters and fed
the little lads who have served as
caddies on the golf links of the Ger
mantown Cricket Club, at a banquet
at the clubhouse at Wissahickon
Heights the other night. The lads
were delighted with the feast, but
more pleased with the attention show
cred upon them by the dignified men
of affairs, who left nothing undone to
make them happy.
AS the eighty-six youngsters, rang
ing in age from eight to sixteen years,
sat about the banquet board, CARRIED
in their regular costumes, Samuel T.
Heebner, one of the old members OF
the club, welded the carving knife,
and huge slices of turkey were prompt
ly hurried to the hungry youngsters
by the millionaire walters.
First, ex-Minister to Italy, William
Potter would hurry away with a
plate, then Sheriff Brown and Direc-
tor of Public Safety Potter would rush
from the carver's side, carrying plat
tiers heaped with turkey and tempting
vegetables. Edward S. Buckley. Jr.,
president Of the club, took hand and
was assisted by Vice-President H. H.
Kingston, Harlan s. Page, Howard
Perrin, Joseph S. Clark, Charles T..
Cowperwaite, Henry A. Lewis, Robert
G. Cooke, William r. Buckley, c. H.
Potter, William Disston and w. Find
ley Brown, and all of them were busy
looking after the wants of their cad
dies, all of them men of great affairs.
After the collation. had been served,
William G. Houston, chairman of the
golf committee, called the gathering
to order and maze brief address, in
which he congratulated the boys upon
their behavior during the year. AS
means of still further pleasing the cad
lies, each was presented with box
of candy and prizes ranging from 81
to $3.50 in gold.

schedules of the new imperial tariff
against American goods, thus averting
a tariff war with the United States, is
the climax to protracted interchange
of correspondence between Secretary
Root and Ambassador Sternberg, in
which Secretary Root has achieved his
first great feat Of pure diplomacy.
The success of the State Department
in obtaining for another sixteen months
equal consideration in the German
trade with other governments that have
made great concessions to obtain the
minimum tariff in Germany, without
any amelioration of our schedules

All Done in Month.
Only month before the action of the
reichstag, the German government was
still apparently memorable in it's posi-
ton that the maximum rates would be
enforced on March /.
In the light of the reichstag's action,
at the earnest solicitation of Chancellor
Won Buelow, one might be led to think
colossal bluff had been attempted, and
pushed to the last moment.by Germany.
But this, it is understood here, is not
the case. The seed of education as to
the result of the tariff war, which Mr..
Root had been sowing, did not sprout
until within the last few weeks; then
its growth was rapid.
Realizing that Mr.. Root was thor
oughly familiar with all the premises
and sound in his understanding of what
the results would be of any course pur-
sued by Germany, and that he could
not be shaken from his position Of
polite regret that no concession was
possible at this end of the wire, the
German statesmen quickly went to
their reichstag, and had legislation
passed deferring the trouble.
Had the department here shown
signs of hysteria, or had Secretary
Root not fully appreciated the several
angles Of the case, or had he made ex-
cited efforts to have Congress act hur-
riedly in giving GERMANY concessions
before March /, the Germans would
have decided that the United States
could be coerced bv actually applying

placid explanations that nothing at all
could be. done here, either before or
after March l, had an exceedingly

Susan Brownell Anthony was born
SO years ago in the Hicksite Quaker
settlement at South Adams, Mass, and
was as quiet and gentle and obedient a
little Quaker maiden as any of her
playmates in that tranquil spot. Her
life was uneventful until she took up
teaching and went out into the world.
She was 20 years old when she made
her first fight for the right of suffrage.
1t was for the right to vote at tenn
perance meeting which was dominated
by young men. The Sons of Temper
ance were holding a convention at
Albany, N. Y. and the Daughters of
Temperance were invited to meet with
them. Susan was one of the Daugh-
tiers who accepted the invitation. Ear
" in the proceedings the young women
discovered that their position in the
convention was purely an honorary
one. The men did not propose tnat
they should have any voice in the pro-
.ceedings. 1t was against scripture
and against her natural sphere that
woman should raise her voice in the
councils of men, were the arguments
of the men In answering the protests
OF The women and In refusing their
petition to be allowed to vote
Suddenly tall, slender Quaker girl
arose from her seat and, followed by
six others, marched out Of the convent
ion hall. The leader was Susan 3
Anthony. 1t was her first rebellion
against that order Of things which
gave men a monopoly Of power. She
Immediately set about organizing the
women's New York State Temperance
Society. That was the real beginning
OF what has been her life's work In
which the central theme has ever been
equal suffrage for the sexes.
