BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 15.-Women
Of all ages and conditions in life max e
up the attendance at the fortieth an
nual convention opened in Buffalo to-
day by the American Women Suffrage
association. Young girls in merry
widow" hats and wonderful creations
of the modiste, grandmotherly old
women and stern -visaged DANES in
gowns severely simple are included in
the assemblage, and stenographers and
millionaires sit side by sidel bound to-
gether by the common tie of a desire
for political suffrage Some of the
leading lights of the suffrage move
ment from all over the United States
and Canada are. here and will address
the convention, which will continue in
session until next Wednesday.
Routine business and the presenta-
ton of reports occupied the first hours
animated discussion of current politics
when the delegates foregathered for
more informal discussion of the OBJ
jects of the convention. According to
some Of the distinguished suffra gettes,
Mr.. Bryan Is opposed to their move
ment, and he will never, no, never
be elected to the high Office Of presi-
dent if the suffragettes have anything
to say about it-so there Mr.. Bryan!
Mr.. Taft has pleased the disciples
of woman's rights by declaring for
equal suffrage when the time is ripe
for it, but he evidently doesn't be-
lieve that that period has yet been
reached. and the suffragettes entertain
a very different opinion. Some of the
women are wearing red buttons with a
clasped hand design, the emblem of
socialism, and point with pride to the
fact that the socialist party is the only
one that has declared unequivocally
for full suffrage for women. Mr.. Chain
also has many admirers among the
would be voters.
Ruffalo club women, particularly
those of the Political Equity club, have
made elaborate preparations for the

Love and Science
In an Alliance

WASHINGTON, Oct 15.-Among
the learned savants who came from all
over the world to attend the recent In
ternational congress on tuberculosis
was DR.. Ladislaus Detre, a famous
Hungarian scientist. Next week he will
return to Budapest, taking with him
as his bride one of Washington's most
beautiful young women, Miss Lillian
Coblenzer The wedding is set for
next Tuesday and the doctor and his
wife will leave Immediately for their
Hungarian home
That science, stern, cold, forbid
ding science, can become at times the
ally of Cupid is shown by the ro-
nance of DR.. Detre. If the learned ply
sician had not so ably and conclu-
sively proven to the world the cor
rectness of hi new method of dag
nosing tuberculosis. Miss Coblenzer
might not have said yes" and blasted
the herr doctors romance.
Dr. Detre. is a member of the ia
Guilty of the University of Budapest.
While making tour of Europe. a
year ago Miss Coblenzer and her
mother met Dr. Detre on a railway
train The young physician became
deeply impressed with the American
girl. and was thereafter a member of
the Coblenzer party.
Before she sailed for America DR..
Detre proposed to Miss Coblenzer, but
she would not promise to become his
bride. remembering it is said, an old
schoolmate in Washington. Through
out the succeeding months DIR. Detre
and Miss Coblenzer corresponded. and
it is now said that one of the princi-
pal reasons for his attendance at the
tuberculosis congress was the fact that
its sessions were to be held in Wash
ington.
DR.. Detre arrived here almost week
before his associate delegates. and the
