Washington, D. c., March 3.-The
advocates of female suffrage were to-
day given their annual opportunity
to present pleas to congress, the pre-
sentation to the senate being made
before the committee on woman suf-
frage, and to the house before the ju-
dietary committee. Before the SEN
ate committee meeting, Rev. Anna
Shaw, as president Of the National
Female Suffrage association, intro
duced the speakers, the first of whom
was Mrs. Belva Lockwood, who eX-
pressed confidence in the support Of
her cause by the committee. Mrs.
Fannie Fernald made an eloQeunt
plea for "a voice in the government
which controls every interest we hold
dear" Mrs, Harriet Taylor Upton
Of Ohio was in charge of the house
committee and the speakers included
Miss Emma Gillette of Washington,
Mrs. Chapman Gait Of New York,
Senator Owen Of Oklahoma, and Miss
Rose Sullivan of Utah

Lowden and SabaIa of Illinois, Cold
fogle of New York and Sherley, of
Kentucky, opposed it strenuously.
Mr. Sherley characterized the bill as
barbarous and against every instinct
of humanity and fair dealing.
The bill was lost, the house refus-
ing to suspend the rules for its pass
age.

severity, ana never on account OF Tn
bad temper of their parents. Henc
when it is proposed to give to tn
women of this country an opportunit
to present their case to the variou
state legislatures to demand of tn
people of the country equality of pc
litical rights, it is not surprising t,
find that the reasons on which tn
continuance of the inferiority of wo
men Is urged are drawn almost en-
tirely from a tender consideration o
their own good. The anxiety fel
lest they should thereby deteriorat,
would be an honor to human nature
We're it not an historical fact that thu
same sweet solicitude has been pu
up as barrier against every pro
gress which women have made since
civilization began.
If suffrage be right, if it be
| true that no man has claim to gov.
ern any other man except to the ex.
tent that the other man has a right
to govern him, then there can be nc
discussion of the question of woman
suffrage. No reason on earth can be
given by those who claim suffrage as
right of manhood which does not
make it right of womanhood also
If the suffrage is to be given man to
protect him in his life, liberty and
property, the same reasons urge that
1t be given to woman, for she has the
same life; liberty and property to
protect . If it be urged that her in
terests are so bound up in those of
man that they are sure to be pro-
tected, the answer Is that the same
argument was urged as to the merg-
ing in the husband of the wife's right
of property, and was pronounced by
the judgment of mankind fallacious
in pra tice and in principle. If the
nature of men and women are so
alike that for this reason no harm
is done by suppressing women, what
harm can be done by elevating them
to equality? If the natures be diff
ferent, what right can there be in
refusing representation to those who
might take juster views about many
social and political questions?
ut is sometimes asserted that wo-
men now have a great influence in
politics through their husbands and
brothers. This is undoubtedly true.
But that is just the kind of influence
which is not wholesome for the COM
munity, for it is influence unaccom-
panied by responsibility. People are
always ready to recommend to others
what they would not do themselves
If it be true that women cannot be
prevented from exercising political
influence, is not this only another
reason why they should be steadied in
their political action by that proper
sense of responsibility which comes
from acting themselves?
"We conclude then that every rea-
son which in this country betsows
the ballot upon man is equally appli-
cable to the proposlCIu.. %. bestow the
ballot upon woman, that in our judg-
fear that woman will thereby become
untitled for all the duties she has
hitherto performed" - Washington

HGirl,s Gui1npe.

There is something essentially
dainty about the guimpe dress that
every mother is sure to find attract
i've and that every girl likes, conse-
quently the guimpe of every pretty
sort is in perpetual demand Here is
one that can be made dressy by the
use of insertion as illustrated or
palmer by the omission thereof, and
which in either case is thoroughly
satisfactory. As illustrated it is made
of fine lawn with embroidered band
ing, but the banding can be of lace
or bits of hand work could be substi-
tuted, or, as already stated, tucks
alone would make sufficient finish.
The sleeves can be either long or in
three-quarter length, and every MAJ
teriai that is used for guimpes is APP
propriate. Those of the lingerie sort
are perhaps the most practical, but
thin, soft silks and chiffon also are
in vogue The guimpe is made with
front and backs, which are tucked for
their entire length. The fulness is
held by band at the waist line and
the moderately full sleeves are
finished with straight cuffs. There
is standing collar at the neck.

Russian Parallel to me prace case.

The Grand Duke Nicholas Mikhail-
oyitch has lately issued in st. Peters
burg little work entitled The
Legend of Alexander l. in Siberia. !.
One finds in it curious parallels to the
sensational mystery which Mr.. Plow.
den is endeavoring to unrayel. Thus,
like the fifth Duke of Portland, the
Gear Alexander I. is alleged to have
led double life and also to have
arranged a bogus funeral Of himself.
The story has long been firmly cred
tied by the middle and lower classes
in Russia, and it has even received
a measure of countenance from the
best of Alexander's biographers, Gem
eral .Schilders. OF this. legend the
Grand Duke has made careful
study, with the result that he shows
conclusively by documentary and
other evidence that it is a legend and
nothing more. Daily Graphic.

Ing and attractive that no woman
likes to give it up. This ONE is quite
novel. and as Illustrated is made of
fine Persian lawn, with the yoke OF
the material embroidered by hand
and with trimming of valenciennes
lace. The yoke, however, could be
cut from all-oveF embroidery, or
could be made from wide insertion,
mitred as necessary. For the blouse
itself the crepe de Chine that laun-
ders SO well, India silk and the like
are quite as appropriate as lawn, so
that there are great many possible
ties in the design. The sleeves are
the pretty ones of three quarter
length.
The waist is made with the tucked
fronts and back, which are Joined to
the shaped yoke portions. and the
fitting is accomplished by means OF
shoulder and under-arm seams. The
sleeves of moderate fulness are gath

COFFEE DRINKING
A Doctor Says 1t wcal.cns the Heart.

''In my opinion" says a wells
known German physician, mo one
can truthfully say that coffee agrees
with him, as 1t has long since been
proven that caffeine, contained in
coffee. is an injurious, poisonous
substance which weakens and de-
generates the heart muscles.
For t..is reason the regular use
of coffee, soon or late, causes a con-
dition of undernourishmsnt, which
leads to various kinds of organic dis
ease.
Convinced OF this fact. I have
often sought for some healthful bev-
erage to use instead of coffee. Al
last found the thing desired in
Postum. Having had occasion to for
bid people using coffee. whose hearts
were affected, have recommended
Postum as a beverage. since it is free
from all injurious or exciting sub
stances. 1 know this from results
in my own family. and among pa
tients.
Hundreds of persons who now
use Postum in place of coffee are
greatly benefited thereby" There's
a Reason"
