ATTACKS DROAES OF SOCIETY
MRS. BELMONT OPENS WAR ON
HER OWN SET.
In Article on Suffrage She Pleads for
the Poor and Misguided
Woman.

New York. Nov 2.--Mrs. o. III. p.
Belmont. for years leader in the
most exclusive circles of New York
society, tae mother of duchess and
the sister of a countess, has opened
war upon the very set with which she
always has been affiliated The cause
is suffrage.
In the current number of a maya.
zine she has contributed an article,
singing with sarcasm, entitled "Wom-
ems Right to Govern" After scath-
Ing attack on the drones of society,
she raises her voice for the poor and
misguided women and accuses the
immense moneyed corporations, the
powerful liquor interests of the coun.
try and the party machines" of block
ing women suffrage, which would pro-
tect her more unfortunate sisters.
IF in this great battle of life you
do not need the power, the strength
that suffrage will give you,' she de-
mands, what right have you, in your
plenty, to raise your voices against
the cry of the needy?
1ou, Vi tne luxurious, educated
class, know well, or if you do not,
shame on you! that the working wom-
an vitality needs the help of the bal
lot. Men at the head of the large
systems of industries, you know, and
know well, that you are not the pro-
toctors of women.
Il shall write the truth, and men to
whom it comes home may cry out
against me. but the over-worked, un-
der-paid woman, the mother toiling
for hungry children, the drunkards
wife, the wife, replaced by one young
er and fairer, and, saddest of all, the
unprotected girl. these will bear me
out.
In all ages there has existed a
class of human beings who, either
wanting in intellect, hampered by in
heritance or unconscious of their own
strength, have remained under the
yoke of circumstances"
There is no hope, she says, from
these drones of society-to whom
cling the barnacles OF worn-out fall
lacies." Women are to expect the bal
lot from the seif-made men.
She appeals to women to be SELF
supporting.

JAIL DELIVERY PLOT FAILS
"TRUsTY" TELLS JAILER OF PRls.
oNERs' PLANS.
Guards Were to Be overpowered and
All Those in Confinement
Liberated.

Chicago, Nov. "A bold plot among
the county Jail prisoners to overpow.
,er the guards, seize the keys and
empty all the cells was frustrated by
the act of a .trusty." who told Nigh;
Jailer Sweeney of the prisoners plan
"a short time before the hour set for
the attack on the guards.
The prisoners are allowed to exer
else In the Jail corridors from six to
eight o'clock each night, and this was
the hour selected for the attack on
the few guards who watch over them
The criminals believed they could
overpower or kill these turkeys, loci,
them in cells, and then with their
keys free all the prisoners on the
first, third and fourth tiers of cells
By sheer force of Numbers they ex
pected to batter down the outer door
and escape.
The plot was discovered only a
short time before the criminals were
let out Of their cells. Jailer Davies
at once gave orders that the prisoners
be locked in the cells and not per.
mitted to enjoy their evening strolls
When the prisoners were told that
they would not be allowed to leave
their cells, most of them screamed at
the tops of their voices and In few
minutes the Jail was in an uproar
Guards went to the tiers occupied by
the most refractory prisoners and
made unsuccessful efforts to quiet
them.
Assistant Jailer Sweeney walked
through the tiers and told the prison.
ers that If they did not cease the
noises he would ask that the time
given them each evening be perma,
nently abolished. In few minutes
the Jail had been restored to quiet
ness.

MAY GET BETTER RATES
Iowa Shippers Probably Will Be
Granted More Uniform Freight
Charges.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-Regrouping of the
state of Iowa and better freight rates
will probably be made as the result
of the rehearing of the complaint
made by the Corn Belt Meat Produc-
ers' association against the railroads
of the state, the hearing of testimony
being concluded before the interstate
commerce commission.
Charles A. Prouty, member of the
commission, heard the concluding tes-
timony. Arguments will be made in
Washington the first two weeks in
December.
Proceedings against the railroads
were begun by the association in
1907.
The meat producers charged that
their freight rates were higher from
Iowa to Chicago than from other
states. They asked for more uniform
rates.

First Use Of Iron.

AS II result of his Interesting invrsti-
cations. Dir. l.idgcway concludes that
the smelling of iron originated in
central Europe. and especially in tho
region known MS Noricum. equivalent
to modern Austria and Bavaria.
In Egypt it can he traced back to the
ninth century Il. c.. and in I.ibya TO
about 40 h. c. First mention OF its
use In China goes back to 4OU u. c..
while in Uganda 1t is said to have
been in use only some five or six
centuries.
The above date for the first use OF
iron in Egypt refers to the metal OBJ
tanned by smelling. The use OF ma
tive iron in the form Of meteorilcs
dates back to remote antiquity. The
weapons made from these were OBJ
tanned, like flint implements. by chip
ping. And it is interesting to remcn,-
Der that recent investigations hive
shown that the iron of many meteor
ties is a sort of natural steel.
