LADIES' LITERARY CLUB.

The fifth annual breakfast OF the
Ladies' Literary club took place
promptly at noon, on Friday, at the
Cullen Hotel, and was an event
which far eclipsed any previous af-
fair of the kind.
Contrary to the custom observed
for two years past, each member
was allowed to bring guest, and
most OF the ladies availed themselves
of the privilege.
The affair was in the hands OF Mrs.
Thomas Marioneaux, with a compe-
tent corps of assistants in the enter
tainment committee.
Mrs. c. II. Blanchard proved he.-
self very able toast mistress, and
toasts were responded to by Mrs G.

THE SUFFRAGISTS.

At meeting of the State Council
of Women held Feb. S, at the Wom-
ans Exponent office, a letter was
read from Senator Sutherland rela-
tive to the petition of that body, and
T. resolution forwarded by them, with
the following extract from the Con-
gressional Record: Mrs. Sutherland
presented petition of the Utah State
Council of Women OF Salt Lake City,
Utah, praying for the adoption of an
amendment to the constitution to pro-
hibit the disfranchisemen of citizens
of the United States on account OF
sex. which was referred to the Sc
lect committee of womens suffrage"
The trend Of the suffrage move
ment in the United States is shown
by President Roosevelt's reception OF
its committe at the White House.
President Roosevelt received
committee representing the National
American Woman's Suffrage associa-
ton at the White House, by invita-
ton, few days ago. The commit
tee comprised Miss Kate M. Gordon
of New Orleans, corresponding Sec
rectary of the National Woman's
Suffrage association; Mrs. Harriet
Taylor Upton of Warren, o., treas
urer of the association; Mrs. RATHER
inc Reed Ballentne, the daughter OF
the late Thomas B. Reed, and Mrs
Henry Dixon Burns, wife OF the dis
tinguished Louisiana surgeon. The
president reiterated his personal be-
lief in woman's suffrage, promised to
give the matter further consideration,
and advised as the next step" for
suffragists, the securing of another
full suffrage state. To this sugges-
ton Miss Gordon replied: "Mr.
President, we won our fifth suffrage
state in Oregon last year, but the
victory was stolen from us by the
great corporations and the organized
liquor interests" Communications
from other states show that the wo-
men citizens of the United States are
alive TO their interests and are up
and doing with their might

WIllHS " pay Sdoh iOi'
Here is a young boy-from what
ever point of view, society's victim;
the result of heredity plus his envr-
onment thus far. He has taken the
cheap fur that the average person
would not accept as gift, but IL
would have kept his mother warm,
which is as legitimate way OF ac-
counting for his act as any other
a fur that the merchant had left on
his hands-how could the boy hope
to sell it? but those most ready to
meet out justice have ever been in
terested least in the motive back of
the act. Men with starving babes are
imprisoned for taking loaf Of bread;
only at Christmas time have the poor
a right to be fed; only through char
ity officers should they be supplied
with comfortable clothing. That be-
ing the case, is it not disgrace that
the Charity association should be
forced to overdraw continually to
keep the city's poor from actual star
walton? In a city where the theatres
are packed nightly with time-killers
and pleasure seekers, at the same
time that hundreds of men, women
and children are in need of food,
clothing and fuel-the criminals, eth
er confirmed or i'll the making, are
not those who take what life gives
them a right to because necessary TO
sustain life, but those who having
more than plenty, begrudge to divide
what has come to them and goes
from them for the qualification of self
so easily.
1t is doubtful if many of the $50
men who sprang up like mushrooms
and with delight escorted this boy 10
the police station to be there treated
as a criminal and if possible made
into one, could furnish any higher
motives for many OF their everyday
acts than he. He stole on meagre
scale in the open because up against
it like hundreds of others in our city,
therefore, he is boy of dangerous
propensities and must be treated &C.
cordingly. The boy, whether hard
ened or not, was too innocent and
did not have enough under his cap
to succeed-he should have thought
out plan to turn a million and to
get it from the poor who have so lit
tie they would not miss it, instead Of
attempting on the spur of the NOM
emf and in the open to rob Jew;
what would the poor man have done?
Such episodes happen nearly every
day and have only passing interest
except for thinking people. Society
has no right to make a criminal and
place blight upon a life while pro-
tecting herself against a petty Of
fender, whom had she been kinder TO
would never have offended at all.
An injustice would have been done
this lad had his offense been thous-
and times greater, by dragging him
before the public eye to the police
