1907 A RED LETTER YEAR.
Right to Vote Won by Women in Four
Countries Of Europe.

Women all over the world are be-
ginning to look upon 1907 as red
letter year for their sex. Their first
notable step ahead this year was the
granting of parliamentary suffrage to
the women Of Norway. Then Swedish
women were made eligible for munich
pal office; next came the granting to
the women Of Denmark of the right
to vote for and serve as members of
boards of public charities, and now
the British parliament has just passed
the bill making women eligible as
town and county councillors and alder
men.
In 1888 when the county councils
were instituted in England it was
thought that women were eligible, and
three Lady Margaret Sandhurst, Miss
Jane Golden and Miss Cons-were
elected by the voters of London. Beres-
ford Hope, who had been defeated by
Lady Sandhurst, contested the cleo
ton on the ground that women were
not eligible. The litigation was pro-
longed and meanwhile the women
were allowed to serve. One of the
duties assigned to Lady Sandhurst
was the supervision of % infant
3asylums. When Mr.. Hope finally
succeeded in ousting her one Of the
leading London dailies sarcastically
remarked:
81 It is to. be hoped that the gentle.
man will find himself equal to mother.

Branch associations and state com
mittees are being organized as rapidly
as possible by the national association
for the purpose of devising ways and
means for the. creation of the fund for
the erection of the building. Among
those who have Endorsed the move
ment from the State of Minnesota are
Senator Knute Nelson, vice president
of the association for this state, Gov.
John A. Johnson, Congressman F. c..
Stevens, Congressman Frank M. Nye,
ex-senator William D. Washburn, T..
B. Walker and o. G. ,Wyman. .
The association is now comforting a
series of honorary life memberships
to the prominent citizens of the coun-
try as one of the ways of the creation
of the, fund. These memberships,
which are worcestershire, are limited
and are proportioned to the different
states according to population The
names of these life members are to be
perpetuated in the building in endur-
ing form under the section allotted to
the respective states.

a POULTRY QUEEN.

Woman Who Started With a Setting
of Eggs Clears 5000 Season.
Five years ago Mrs. O. H. Bur-
bridge secured a setting Of Orpington
eggs and raised a brood Of chickens.
To-day, accoring to Spare Moments,
she is called the Poultry Queen Of
California.
She has taken more ribbons and
cups than any one in the Golden State,
but the bulk Of her money is made
by fattening capons for the big hotels.
Mrs. Burbridge makes at least .$5,-
900 in a season of four months by SELL
ing capons. Her aim has been to
demonstrate that poultry raising is
woman's field.
Mrs. Burbridge says that the pleas
ATTEST part of the whole business is
the opportunity to help women who
come to her for advice and assistance,
and she points with pride to one old
lady whom she started two years ago
with setting Of eggs and who used
a piano DO for hen house, but who
now clears nearly, 500 month from
her flock.

TWO KINDS OF MISERY.
Both Are Suffered by Authors, but One
Has Conversations

Both Are Suffered by Authors, but One
Has Compensations.
Among the acutest of the small
miseries of my existance," declared
Hall Game in the Book Monthly, ''has
been that of seeing man, or more
frequently a woman, take up and lay
down, in the midst Of running fire
of desultory conversation, in the
trains, on the steamers, in the halls of
hotels or on the seashore story on
which I might have spent all my
strength and have written, as I sup
posed, with my hearts blood"
sNow, that's all very well,'' COM
ments Keble Howard in the Sketch,
"but Mr.. Game must remember that
there are a good many novelists also
writing with their hearts blood who
never see their stories taken up at
all. When they do see them taken up
there is. often a large fly in the oint-
ment.
"a week or two ago, for example,
spent five hours in a railway car
riage with a wealthy gentleman, un.
known to me save by name and repu-
tation, who was actually reading one
Of my own humble works.

the volume to. his son. The son re.
marked that his mother had read the
same copy. It was sixpenny edition,
sold at four pence half-penny. I got
the half-penny.''

TO HAVE NEW HOME
HANDSOME STRUCTURE IS BEING
BUILT FOR FRENCH EMBASSY.
Will, Have Wings Divided from Main
Roof by Portico, in Old Roman
Styie-Erected by Ex-Sen-
ator Henderson.

One Of the imposing houses in proc
ess of erection on Sixteenth street is
the home in which ex-senator and
Mrs. Henderson will build the French
embassy It will be a home for the
ambassador and Office of the en-
bassy I.
The plans call for house of impos-
ing style. The proposed arrangement
can be Iikened to the homes of the
rich Romans at the time Of Caesar
and Nero, where certain wings were
divided from the main roof by por.
tico or colonnade, thus allowing both
sides privacy, and at the same time
convenience of reach: The plan will
be followed in the part that will act
ualIy be used as the offices of the
embassy and the home of the ambas-
sador. It is held that such division
will facilitate matters and will offer
advantages. For instance, the wing
given over to the offices is to be
built for commercial purposes, while
the other will retain all the comforts
of the home, intended only for such
use. "
In planning the residence the archi-
tect chose the modern French style of
architecture as the type of the new
house. The exterior will be construct.
ed of white marble and terra Gotta.

The main entrance will be on Six
teenth street and a side entrance ON
Kalorama avenue. The embassy Of
fees will be arranged on the first
floor, and will be finished in the re-
fined style of modern business of
flee. The kitchen and minor rooms
will also be located on the first floor.
A finely designed marble stairway,
with balustrades of wrought iron, will
lead to the second floor. On this floor
there will be small ante-room,
large drawing-room, 22x40 feet in di-
mensions, a smaller circular drawing
room, with windows on all sides, and
large dining-room, 20x3S feet in d.
mansions, with breakfast room adj
joining. The upper floors will be
given over to bedrooms.
The drawing-room will be finished
in modern French style, with wood
work in white and gold. The dining
room will be finished in brownish
stain, with wall spaces for the hang
ing of tapestries, which will be fur
nished by the ambassador, who has
rare and valuable collection.

for the, birds of the sea, and the fed
eral government will protect them as
zealously as she is protecting the Gin
FAINT industries Of the country with
the tariff.
On this southern coast the govern
ment has taken two distinct types of
birds under it's sheltering wing-the
gulls and the pelicans. The latter
ind safe breeding places on the Flori-
da reservations, the most important
island in this group being Pelican ISL
and, which is alive with these birds.
The terms or sea swallows, which
are the most numerous of the small
gull family, are breeding in vast num-
bers all over the mud Jumps" or
small flats formed by sedimentary de-
posits at the mouth of the Mississippi.
Here among the grasses and salt |
marshes they thrive, laying their eggs
In the sand and Matching their young
under the watchful eyes of keepers.
These keepers are now in the employ
OF the government, although the Audu-
bon society formerly raised funds by
popuioI ouUoCI lpIlOu " pay LQ0lu, anu
does maintain a number even now,
independent of the federal authorities. !
BY some unexplained instinct the
terms seem to know they are protect
ed, and they virtually cover the little
island. They vary in size from nine
inches long to two feet, and in color
from white to blush gray and darker
shades to almost black. In the win
ter months thousands of ducks also
find refuge on the tern reservations.
BY far the most interesting of the
protected birds, however, are the pei
leans, the big, ungainly creatures
which are always the delight and won
der of the visitor to the zoo. The
white and brown species are found off
the Florida coast and Pelican island,
near Sebastian, is an ideal spot for the
birds to breed. Here in the warm
climate especially suited for them
they live in peace, unmolested by the
hunter or the egg collector. Accord
ing to a government report on the isl
and one egg collector. who visited the
place in 1896 carried off 1875 sets of
eggs in an hour, which must have
represented a very considerable pro-
portion of the eggs then in the nests"

1t was just this ruthless destruction
of bird life which inspired the presi-
dent to extend federal protection to
the feathered tribes.
In connection with the pelican it is
interesting to note the fact that the
bird was the subject of tradition in
olden days. The tip of it's long hook
ed beak is bright red, and because of
this there was belief that it fed it's
young with it's own blood, which it
took from it's breast. The fact that
the bird has a habit of burying it's

ing.
Every bullet penetrated vital
part, and as soon AS examination was
made OF the injured man, 1t was
seen that his recovery was not TO be
hoped for.
1t seems that Floyd Adkins,
crippled brother of Lucian. insulted
"llkerson's wife. Gilkerson was
proceeding to give the cripple a
thrash'ng when Luc,an interfered.
From this point accounts as to the
matter vary. 1t is stated by some
that Gilkerson fired twice at the in
teriering brother before Adkins
pulled his gun and began pun ping
the lead into Gilkerson's body.
Others say that Adkins fred first
and that Gilkerson never ATTEMPTED
to do any shooting.
All witnesses agree that the Grip
pie, Floyd Adkins, begged for mer.
cy at the hands of Gilkerson and
was not receiving it when Lucian
lnterfered.
An autopsy was held over Gil.
kerson's body this morning by DR..
kessler at Johnston's Undertaking
Company. This was held in order
that there might be no inaccuracv
OF statement when the affair was
brought into court.
Lucian Adkins has been arrested
aud is being held for trial at the
Jail In West Hamlin.
Another report that has reached
Huntington today concerning the
Gilkerson murder states that Gilk
erson and Adkins were engaged in
game of cards when Gilkerson &C.
cused Adkins of cheating Adkins
resented the statement in forcIble
language and Gilkerson fred at him
