EYE BACK IN GARDEN,
Mere Nan Quails at Interurban
Woman Suffrage Meeting.

There were just two things that mere man was
allowed TO do last night at meeting of the Inter-
urban Woman Suffrage Council in Memorial Hall,
Brooklyn, where Mrs. Golden en-Sanderson, the Eng
lish suffragette, was the principal speaker John
s Crosby was allowed to preside, but he did not
deign TO make speech, and after he had made
the mistake Of addressing OF the women
scheduled to second the resolutions by the wrong
name he looked miserable indeed
Two young men We're allowed to take collec-
ton, and the dozen or so men In the audience
told that they could only give all their loose
change but could also dig into their rolls of bills.
The men collectors directed by Miss Mary
Hay TO pass up and down the platform, and even
Mr.. Crosby did not escape.
Mrs Cobden-Sanderson said the states here that
had woman's suffrage loomed up so big that she
thought that America would lead the way in the
work before she here. After she arrived she
was not so sure but her hopes had been revived
by the enthusiasm of the Cooper Union meeting on
Thursday She had never met so many tmid per-
sons afraid of consequences in this country,
she said.
She told of a recent message from Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman, the English Prime Minister,
to go on agitating, holding meetings and pester
ing people as much as ever you can" She didn't
seem to have much respect for the House of Lords
we think We can manage them much Crom-
we'll managed the House of Commons she said.
Her story of her Imprisonment excited much n
thusiasm.
The Rev. Anna Howard Shaw president OF the
National American Woman Suffrage Association,
spoke sarcastcally of the slight recognition that
America, which pretended to be republic gave
TO woman, compared to that she received in Eng
land and her colonies. She spoke of New Zealand
and Australia, and said that the colonies that re-
nlained true TO the mother country had shown
the colony that rebeed" the true principles of
democratic form Of government.
We go%g across the 10 get ad-
vanced ideas of government" she said. This kind
Of talk was applauded. much to the surprise of
Mrs Golden -Sanderson. who seemed Ill at ease.
When the speaker said that who decided
TO marry and rear family condemned himself to
life of toil'' of the far forgot himself
a applaud the sentiment He the
centre of all eyes. a resolution declaring for
sixteenth amendment giving suffrage to women
was passed without dissenting voice.

a WISE REMARK,

Mr.. Redford. the examiner of plays In England
recently refused to give license for the perform
of play called WASTE" written by MIR. Gran
Vile Barker, clever dranatfst, and person
esteemed both manager and actor. The play
relates to offensive subject, and glances at the
unfortunate and melancholy of Parnell. Mr..
Redford much censured for his adverse deci-
sion concerning it. A private performance of the
play. given by THE Stage Society," was seen by
Mr.. WaIkley, the able representative Of THE Lon
don Times" and that good critic writes Of 1t as
follows:
For part we have hesitation in approv-
ing the censor's decision. The subject matter of
Waste together with the sincere realism with
which It is treated. makes 1t, in our Judgment,
wholly unfit for performance under ordinary condi-
tions before miscellaneous public of various ages
moods. and standards OF intelligence While we
gratefully recognize the artistic value Of the play
we would remind Mr.. Barker, well as his brother
authors, who are clamoring Just now for free
stage that questions of art one thing and CUES
tions Of public policy and eTpediency are another
thing. Let them take Sancho Panza's advice and
beware Of mixing up cabbages and baskets"

drama. The sense of being iend-driven-haunted-

piteous speech about refuge in death cDuncan
