told him was about to approach.
1t seemed incredible that he, of all
persons, should be plucked out Of the
practical ways of men and thrust into
the unreal fantasies Of romance. A
hubbub in a restaurant, a headlong
dash into a carriage compartment, a
long ride with a princess, and all with
in three short hours! 1t was like some
weird dream. And how the deuce
would 1t end?
He gazed at the toys again.
And then the door opened and he
was told to come out. The grand duke
had arrived.

and is preparing to make life miserable for every
man who tries get himself elected TO the Senate
or Assembly this fall Each district will be organ
lied under a captain and it will be the duty OF
each captain to harass the candidates In her dis
trct. list of questions be propounded to these
unfortunate is being prepared, the chief of
which will be: Would you, if elected vote for the
submission of the question of woman suffrage to
the people? The captain will also see that any IN
fluential in the district who favor woman sur
frage bring pressure to bear upon the candidates
In this part of the work the assistance of the
trade unions is counted upon, and they will be
asked TO affiliate with the league. as some have
already DONE and send delegates to its executive
council. Almost every night some union is visited
with that end in view.
Our reception by the unions is quite pctur-
esuue" said Mrs. Harriet Stanton Batch, presi-
dent of the Equality League, when seen at head
quarters yesterday. They send out marshal 10

hats as we enter and remain standing till we are
seated. When leave they rise again. The other
night at the printers union were kept waiting
in the anteroom while they aired out as they said
the air was thick for us to breathe Then as
we went down the corridor afterward we were fol-
lowed by chorus of striking matches.
While this work is going on in the city the state
will not be neglected. In July those members of
the league who have their vacations at that time
will charter a canaboat and combine business with
pleasure. Starting from Albany, they will go
through the Erie Canal, with the yellow banner
flying, and proclaim the gospel Of woman suffrage
along the way. Previous to this there is to be
trolley expedition in connection with the ceie-
bration of the sixtieth anniversary CT the first
woman's rights convention at Seneca Falls An
interesting feature of the trolley car expedition is
that it's reception in HaIvey, manufacturing CEN
ire near Syracuse, is being organized by Mrs. Fred
erick Hazard, cousn-n-law of Mrs. Barclay Haz-
ard the we'll known anti-suffrage leader.
The city headquarters will be open every day
from 10 until o'clock and Saturday evenings
