LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
REJECTS "SUFFRAGETTE" METHODS.
Member of New Jersey Woman Suffrage As
sociation SAYS They Are Hurting Cause.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: 1t is high time that the methods of the So
called 'suffragettes'' in England and their half-
hearted iInitators here be publicly repudiated by
the reasonable advocates OF woman suffrage. AS a
member of the New Jersey Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation and of another large and influential orgai-
zation in that state hope and believe that rep
resent a large number of liberal minded women In
condemning the actions of these vociferant clanor-
ers for rights that can be obtained only through
the gradual education OF public opinion IN the
natural course of events.
The "suffragettes'' have probably set back the
cause for half century. In shallow popular judg-
ment they have proved the unftness of women 10
bear just share in the making of laws which they
bound to obey. They have laid themselves and
their contentious oper to ridcule by adopting a
course from which it is to be hoped American
will be deferred by the saving sense of
hunor
We claim The right TO vote simply because we
believe that under the republican form of govern
ment every adult Intelligent citizen should be
allowed to place his her opinion record, and
find nothing revolutionary detrimental TO the
finer qualities of womanhood In the simple act Of
recording an opinion. Some of do not believe
that in the nature OF things women in general Will
take prominent part in the government of
nations; recognize the fact that man is the
executive power par excellence.
We ask only for freedom Dc not believe in
closed doors for any part of the human race. We
believe that those who hold against among
the better class OF men do so not from motives OF
injustice tyranny but from a mistaken cOnviC-
ton as to the results of so extending the suffrage.
At the same time believe that the anti-suffra-
gists have cause; they have nothing to be deliv
cred from. they would never be compelled to
vote; they simply endeavoring TO withhold
from others right which they do not themselves
care to exercise. The "suffragettes" help
ing them.
I claim that the above contentious have foun-
dation In reason and be set forth by reasonable
means. The sacrifice OF dignity and moderation is
a retrOgressve method Il nullifes the appeal TO
public opinion by which alone any just cause can
hope prosper. The 'suffragettes' have strength
ened popular prejudice and offended the refined and
Intelligent clement. In misrepresenting us they
worst enemies and should be publicly re-
pudiated by all who have this cause at heart.
believe that by the tacit acceptance or open reiec-
tion of their methods the cause Of woman suffrage
stands falls to-day. NJ c s.

Good and Faithful Service.

For nearly forty years Mr. j. p. Han
kins has been connected with the choir
of the p. Nj. church of this city and for
more than thirty years of thaJ time has
been it's leader. He has taken great in
terest in his work and no sacrifice was
too great for him to make that the
work might be well done. The ministers
of the church during that period of time
have all commented on his faithfulness.
He has grown gray in the service, and
the years of life have brought him to
the conclusion that he should now step
aside and let younger blood take up the
work.
1t was with much regret that the
church accepted his resignation as choir
leader, and as a token of their appre-
citation of his valuable services and the
high esteem the church has for him as
as member and brother, Rev. Walk
err, in behalf of the church, presented
him on Tuesday at the week night pray
err meeting with a gentleman's leather
upholstered chair Of the finest material
and make. All felt it gift worthily
bestowed and hope it might give him
much rest and comfort in the years OF
life that may yet be spared to him.

bish. IT'S safer to wait little longer, "
said Mrs Swift"
They had pleasant trip north be-
cause there were so many of them,
Mrs. Swift could not bear to go back
to the schoolhouse chimney because
two of her little ones had died there
last summer and she thought it was so
dangerous. So they went over to
Crum's chimney and found that those
rooms were not to be rented this sum
mer; Mr.. Crum had actually put a
board over the chimney.
They felt rather hurt about this and
came right over to our part of town.
They built their nest in our chimney
Last night | heard them say that they
were glad they came because it was
not half so noisy here as it was over
by the schoolhouse.

ENTHUSIASTIC FAIR MEETING.
Capital Stock Increased from $4,000 L
$4,000, the Action Being Endorsed
Unanimously.
Brighter Prospects than Ever Assured.

| AT the special meeting of the stock
holders of the Southwestern Wisconsin
Fair, held in this city Tuesday after
noon of this week, to consider the ques-
ton of increasing the capital stock.
there was a good representation Of
stockholders, either in person or by
proxy.
Acting as chairman of the meeting
President w. J. Penhallegon explained
that it was necessary to increase the
stock or assume an additional and cum
bersome debt, because of the immedi-
ately needed improvements to grounds
and buildings, whereby the associations
well established reputation for being
first, best and reliable could be readily
maintained. And while on his feet Mr.
Penhallegon gave out the pleasing in
formation that during the last two
years 81, 900 of the association S indebt-
edness had been wiped out and that
nov the burden was only about $500,
This statement was greeted with hearty
applause and the officers duly com
plimented and thanked for their eff
cheney.
Several present arose and briefly
discussed the question before the meet
ing, all having practically the same
view that improvements We're neces-
sarv and needed at once, that while we
have a grand reputation it would be
well to enhance it as much as possible,
and that to provide for the same it !
would be better toincrease the stock than
to increase the indebtedness, whereupon
Mr. Phil Allen moved to amend the |
third article of the articles of incorpora
ton by striking out the word five in
the first line and inserting in lieu
thereof the word TEN, also the words |
five hundred in the second and third
lines and inserting the words ONE
THOUSAND, so that the article as
amended shall read: "The capital |
stock of such corporation shall be ten
thos sand dollars, the number of shares
shgs, be one thousand and the amount
of vsr value of each share shall be ten
dollars"
TIE same was carried by a unani- |
nous vote, many of the old stockholders
readily subscribing for more before
leeving the hall. A soliciting commit |
tee of five was appointed. This com
mittee will go out among the people at
once. and should, and will it is hoped,
meet with such a reception as is neces-
sary to insure the Mineral Point Fair
being the leader more distictly than
ever before.
