CaIumny.

Susan Brownell Anthony was born
Sc years ago in the Hicksite Quaker
settlement at South Adams, Mass, and
was as quiet and gentle and obedlent a
little Quaker maiden as any OF her
Dlaymates in that tranquil spot. Her
life was uneventful until she took up
Reaching and went out into the world.
She was rs years old when she MADE
her first fight for the right OF suffrage
It was for the right to vote at a tenn
perancs 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 Daugn-
tiers who accepted the invitation. Ear
ly in the proceedings the young women
discovered that their position IN the
convention was purely an
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 a tall, slender Quaker girl
arose from her seat and, followed by
six others, marched out of the convent,
ion hall. The leader was Susan b
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.

STOCK SEATS.
Points of Vantage Where Millions
Are Made land Lost 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
loo, 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 5000, a record price. A few
| days ago membership rights were sold
for 500, 900 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 500, 900, 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
transactions nowadays average close
upon 1000, 900 shares a day, If every
member of the Exchange were active,
and if the business were evenly di-
vided, such a daily business would give
to each member a commission upon
about 900 shares, amounting to a
yearly income of $4,000. This is, of
course, entirely apart from individual
operations and profits.
These Stock Exchange seats are re-
garded as assets. There has been in
the past some trading in them for the
sake of the profits gained by the rise
in the rate, but the tendency was dis
couraged by a rigid enforcement of the
rule that the purchaser must be ac-
ceptable to the governors of the EX-
change. Men now sell their seats only
for urgent reason, such as failure of
health, or removal to other fields. In
the latter case the New York seat is
probably more profitably turned into
cash, at the high rates nov prevailing,
than to be held for future use. When
n member of the exchange dies, his
executors sell his sea- for the highest
o~btainable rate. The bidding is often
spirited, and some of the most strik-
ing advances in the record prices have
been scored in this way.

VLDION4IRES For WATERS.
Ca1oles Feasted as Guests of the
Germantown Cricket Club, Near

Millionaires and men of promin-
ence in the business and social life

we're delighted with the feast, but

Great Courage to Withstand Rebuffs

1t required great courage to under
take this work at the time and in the
manner she did. But she possessed
that requisite and exercised it on
many occasions. She never faltered,
never lost heart, though she was con.
stantly subjected to ridicule, calumny
and opposition. Few women were
brave enough to follow her in those
days. In 1852 she addressed a large
convention of men teachers. A clergy
man who was present complimented
her afterwards.

and sister dead in their graves than

schedules of the new imperial tariff
against American goods, thus averting
a tariff war with the United States, is
the climax to a 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
against German goods entering this
country, ranks as m of the notable
works of statecraft in several decades
of the recent history of the American
foreign office. Had Secretary Root not
already given ample promise of being
a diplomat of the first class, he would
now be hailed as the new stellar light
in international politics.
All Done in a Month.
Only a month before the action of the
reichstag, the German government was
still apparently ineXorable In its posi-
llOu that lu6 nldAlluuuu idlCo WOuiu w
enforced on March l.
In the light of the reichstag's action,
at the earnest solicitation of Chancellor
Won Buelow, one might be led to think
a 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 1, the Germans would
have decided that the United States
could be coerced by actually applying
! the maximum tariff, but Mr.. Roots
placid explanations that nothing at all
could be done here, either before or
after March 1. had an exceedingly
quieting effect upon German tariff
opinions.
Secretary Roots impassive attitude,
which was so remarkably effective In
this case, is all the more notable, In
view of the flood of excited protests
that have come to Washington from

selves, grasped her message and her
very name became a term of derision.
She was ca~ricatured, insulted, jeered at
and maligned. In the early days of the
movement Women's Rights wa the
synonym for dress reform, for neglect
ed home duties for raDld 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.
81 never saw that tall, stately Quaker
girl coming across my lawn" said Mrs.
Stanton, But what l 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 a ballot at the election. She never
paid the fine. Since then four states
have granted the right of suffrage to
women; 23 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 a woman
elected and in%augurated as President
of the United States, but h a 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 a typewriter, which
she employs in her personal cores
pondence and in CARRYING 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 h keenness
which made her such a power In the
prime of her life. Her interest in the
worlds affairs is unabated, and her
mind is attuned to every movement
having for its object the betterment
| Of mankind.
