In speaking of Miss Anthony's earlier
life DR.. Kent said she once met young
man whom she would have been willing to
marry, but. fortunately for the world" he
never asked her to marry him Later her
hand was sought by another man, but he
was not Miss Anthony's choice.
THE conduct and character OF the women

battle Of equal rights" said DIR. Kent
have been such as to disarm prejudice and
command the respect and sympathy of all
thoughtful people.
''The lies that were told and believed and
given eager circulation can no longer get
hearing. Woman Is welcomed today to
every honorable calling and is holding a
high place in law, In medicine and in the
ministry.
Miss Anthony was wholly out of sym

but she had abiding faith that this uni
verse is on the side of justice and that
soon or late men will have to adjust them
selves to the laws of life and build up a
rational, orderly and happy society AS

which will yet be enshrined in the admiring

to General Grant

lery Corps. stationed at Fort Williams,
Portland, Me-. was tried by court-martial
at New York Saturday on charges of con-
duct unbecogning officer in duplicating
his pay accounts Lieut.. Cravens pleaded
not guilty, said that restitution had been
made before the charges were filed, and
claimed that the charge practically was on
his own complaint
Major Shanks, the judge advocate, pro-
duced evidence to show that the accused
had secured money from Louis Silyerman
and Moses NJ. Gould by promissory notes.
and called Maj. Herbert NJ. Lord, pay
master, who testified that he received a let
ter from the accused on February last,
saying he had transferred his January &c
count to Moses NJ. Gould The witness then
paid the money to Gould by check.
Col. c. c. Sntffen, paymaster general, tes-
titled that he had paid the official account
of Lieut. Cravens for the month OF jan
uary 1905.
Or February IT, the accused, Col Sniffen
said. came TO him and stated that he had
duplicated his pay accounts. From the
statements made by the accused the wit
ness was led TO believe that he had not
done 1t Intentionally. He advised him 10
make restitution The amount, S137 30, was
subsequently refunded
At the conclusion of Col. Sniffens testi-
CravenS took the stand in his own defense.
Lieut.. Cravens said that when he gave
the order for his January salary to Moses
M. Gould he had no idea he was duplicating
his account. He said 1t was the first time
he had made such a mistake
did you not in July, 1902, transfer to
Louis Silverman Endorsement which was
q DUPLICATION asked the judge advocate.
The witness hesitated for a moment. and
then replied: II wish to correct my pre-
vious statement. ! did give Silverman an
Endorsement and when I learned l had du-
plicated my pay account I made good.
Maj Shanks then said that an article OF
war prohibited army officer giving an
endorsement for his salary before 1t was
due him. He also read to the court section
go, articles OF war. which states that II one
duplicates or falsifies his accounts unknown
ingIy and makes restitution before 1t Is de-
manded or charges made against him he
cannot in a sense be declared guilty OF the
offense.
At the conclusion of the examination the
court considered the evidence for half an
hour, when a decision was reached. 1t will
be sent to Gen. Grant. commanding the Do
partment OF the East, for approval Lieut..
Cravens was ordered to return to his post.
