Rev. Anna Howard Shaw, president Of
the National Suffrage society, and by
Professor Zueblin of Chicago. Over
one meeting the mayor of Newport

Ward Howe was present and was &C

in the interest Of accuracy that. in ad-
dition to the five collar tickets, which
admitted to the house. there were also
one dollar tickets, which admitted only
to the lawn. where the meetings were
held. Even at these prices there was
a large attendance. which shows devo-
ton to the movement.

thing will become as fashionable as

Zoe no stopping it. Every woman in
the land will be talking for it, and
mere man will be compelled to grant
her request if only to stop the din. A
certain section of the unmarried suf
fragettes have even gone to the length
of resolving that they will not wed any
man unless he is in sympathy with
the cause. This ought to make some
converts. also a lot Of masculine hypo
critics. When man really wants tt

There is no question that the suf

Mrs. 0. Fl. ?. Belmont has opened her

Of people were not only eager to pay
the price to see the Belmont art treas

to the suffragist lectures as an added
price or added inducement, according
to the point Of view. This method of
propaganda is somewhat different
from that Of the English suffragettes
who go to jail for their principles, but
why break into jail when one can
break into society?

tie occasion for brainstorms and mer-
cifully subsidized. The writer lived for
four years In state that has woman
suffrage and has been quite calm on
the subject ever since. Those persons
who imagine that votes for women will
make any radical difference in political
conditions either for better or worse
should see the thing actually tried out
and be disillusicnized. Women NAV
be better than men, but they vote about
the same way. In some elections they
scarcely vote at all. In others they
flock to the polls as they would to
bargain sale.
One thing can be said-that very lit
tie fraud has been discovered in their
exercise Of the ballot. Nor are they
insulted at the polls. Nor, again, are
they degraded or made unwomanly by
taking their part in politics. These are
not questions Of opinion, but of fact
They are bugaboos that have been ban
1shed, but with them disappeared the
fond dream that woman suffrage would
bring Eden back to earth. On the
whole. perhaps, the effect has been
good and yet not so glaringly good
that there is any cause for wild ex-
element. am neither arguing for nor
against the proposition, you under
stand, but am giving the results Of my
own observation Of suffrage as it &C.
tually works.
Increased Nervous Prostitution.
| In England the suffragettes, under
the lead Of Mrs. Pankhurst and her
daughter, have gone up in balloons,
started riots, mobbed the home Of the
prime minister, made several vain at
tempts to break into the house Of com
mons, held outdoor meetings, raised
disturbances at Liberal rallies so that
the speakers could not proceed, gone to
prison, had themselves sent through
the mails as living letters and done
every other odd and striking thing that
their fertile imaginations could sug-
! gest, all for the good Of the cause.
Whether or not they have added to the
suffrage sentiment, they have unques.

tionably increased the nervous pros
tration Of England. They have also
made a laughingstock Of the govern
ment and the police. That is the sur
prising part Of their performance and
reveals true generalship. It would nat
urally be supposed that these outland-
1sh stunts would have brought ridi-
Guile upon their perpetrators. but thew
We're so engineered by the resourceful
suffragettes that the ridicule was turn
ed against their opponents. They
showed that. whether or not women
know enough to vote. they are sufi-
GENTLY wise to outmaneuver men. This
was not new realization, however.
We knew it before.
Compared to their British sisters our
American suffragists have been quite
mild and circumspect. In other words,
they have been perfect ladies. No
screaming. bowling and dervish dane
Ing for them. In the United States
the cause" is in the pink tea stage.
A number Of ladies gather in some
other lady's parlor and talk it over.
or If they grow exceptionally radical
and militant they hire a hall, make
speeches and adopt resolutions. They
also send out tracts. All this is quite
harmless and unexcidng. It does not
attract the spot light or the police.
There Is no chance for an American
sutfragist to become a martyr. The
worst she can do is to go to meetings
and leave her tyrant husband to nurse
the baby and wash the Dishes It is
one thing to be dragged off to dun
geon by ham handed policeman and
quite another to go up to Mrs. Astor-
bits and hear somebody crate in
contralto voice. You will never get
the American sister to go to damp
and stuffy Jail. If it comes to that,
she will simply take her hubby by the
ear and tell him that she wants new
ballot box and will he see about it
when he goes downtown? He will.
The American man is we'll trained.
he is in proper state of subsection,
an6 when WHEY gets good and ready
to vote there will be nothing else to it.
Moreover. the American brother is
foxy. He will never give his woman
kind a chance to play to the grand
stand In the martyrdom role When
she wants to present her petition to
the legislature he invites her right into
the main hall, smiles, listens and then
forgets it. John Bull is different. He
imagines that If he ever let's Mrs. Bull
have say and help run things his
dignity will get mussed up, so he will
not even listen to her. This gives Mrs
B. chance to scream and gain the
sympathy Of the neighbors. Now, if
the British government had been wise
there would have been none Of this
hullabaloo. but Mrs. Pankhurst, Miss
Pankhurst and all the other Pank-
bursts would have been allowed to
present their petition and speak their
little piece and that would have been
the end of it.

Less Nerve Hacking Methods.
It is far cry from an English jail
to Mrs. Belmont's Marble House at
Newport. And even at that the Eng
fish Jail may live longer in history.
Who knows? For my single self,
however. 1 must say that like the
American way better. 1t is more COM
Portable even though it may not sound
so heroic and thrilling in the school
histories Of the future. And in the
long run it will probably prove just
as effective. The women of Finland
got the ballot without making any
noise about it. .Australasian ladies did
not go up in balloons and muss up
their hair, yet they have the ballot
box now as an ornament on the center
table The wives and mothers of Col
orado did not chain themselves to the
ratings in the statehouse. and still
they proudly march to the polls and

Morse husband has had to divide the
suffrage watermelon with his better
half. Throwing bricks. marching in
the middle Of the street and screening
on cart tails may be necessary in Eng
land, but here it would simply be
laughed off the map. and the women
would do most Of the laughing.
We have no Pankhursts in America,
but we have Mrs. Howe and Miss
Shaw, and we have the memory Of
Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Susan B. An
thony and Frances E. Willard. Miss
Shaw, who IS both an ordained min
lister and doctor of medicine, was
herself born in England. but escaped
at very early age before she felt the
bad effects. She was reared on
Michigan farm and had scarcely more
educational advantages than Abraham
Lincoln. yet she was so assiduous in
gaining every possible scrap Of knowl-
edge that at fifteen she was a school
teacher and shortly after was preach
ing in a little church. The girl preach
er was eloquent. and the congregation
sent her to a theological college in Bos-
ton. Her church, the Methodist Epis-
copal, refused regularly to ordain her
because she was woman. Then she
went to the Methodist Protestant and

years she occupied a Massachusetts,

power lies In her deep religious senti-
ment, but she is also wit and can

WONG JACK IN SAFE KEEPING

Wong Jack, a Chinaman 45 years
 old, who came to this country 2S
 years ago. who came here from Cliff
 ton four months ago, who has been
 working in the Wing Hi laundry
 since- then until he wandered away
 a few days ago during a sick spell,
 was found out in the brush in the vii
 cinity of the Country club by Mex
 ican. He was brought to town and the Chinese who had been advertising for him gave the finder a reward of
 a few dollars It was believed that he was crazy and yesterday Ee was brought before Judge Phillips. It de- veloped by the testimony that he was troubled somewhat with a heart af- lection and that he was very nervous and hysterical and frightened, fear ing some one was going to kill him. He seemed rational however, but quite sick. His countrymen who serv- ed as both friends and interpreters promised to care for him temporarily and send him back to his friends in California or to his wife and child in the old country, if given the oppor- tunity. During the examination the court asked the interpreter, in an ef- fort to discover how he would be

took Philadelphia, from which con- gress had to flee.
 The gloom spread by this news fled when it was heard that a great force of the foe had to yield to General Gates at Saratoga on October 19, 1777. This was the great point from which the tide of war was seen to turn. France. when she saw that the colonies had some chance to win, made a bond to help them. And as there was peace in Europe, some fine, brave men of rank came to America and sought leave to fight in the ranks of our troops.
 "One of these was Lafayette, young French lord, who gave his coin as well as his soul to the work. He was so bright and full of cheer that he was most dear to his men. Although the colonies had no navy, some brave men took what ships there were and fought the foe as best they could. One brave young man named Paul Jones got a ship from the king of France, to which he gave the name Bon Homme Rich ard, with which he beat and sunk the great English frigate Serapis off the east coast of England on September 22, !77S.
 For the next few years the war went on in the south for the most part; and although Washington was the soul of it, he did not fight in it until a great French fleet, led by Count de Grasse, came out to Chesa- peake bay Then Washington, by a feint, kept his plans from Clinton, who was in New York, and kept strict watch on him, and stole off with his troops to the south, where the English troops were led at Yorktown by Corn wallis
 For twenty-one days the English held out under the storm of shot and shell from land and sea But then, when great holes were made in the walls, Cornwallis knew there was no hope, and so gave up his sword to Washington on october IS, 17S1. This was the last great fight of the war. Peace soon came, and the United States took it's place amid the nations of the world.
 You know the rest of Washington's life How he gave his help to make a for his land, and how, when she chose him to serve as her first president, he did it as he did the rest of his acts, so well that on his death he stood First in war. first in peace. and first in the hearts of his

WASH|NGTON'S BIRTHDAY
 OBSERVED AT DESERT INN
The Address by a Guest Arthur T McNabb.

There was a patriotic gathering at Desert Inn on Washington's birth day, where the guests appropriately celebrated the day. The principal ad- dress was by Arthur Timothy McNabb who said:
 'To me, the name of all names of those who have laid upon the altar of our glorious country the sacrifice of life itself, is that of Washington; whom to know. is to respect, honor and love. It was in the French and Indian war that we first hear of him who was to play so great and grand a part in the history of the world, and leave a name which cannot die. He was young, yet gave such proofs of his nerve and skill when he tried to save the troops whom Braddock had, in spite of him, caused to fall in the snare laid by the French and the In- dians in the year 1755.
 When the colonies found that they must go to war to obtain their rights in 1775, congress appointed Washing ton -in-chief of the army of the united colonies; and on July 3 of that year he stood meath an elm, which still stands on Cambridge Com mon, Mass, and took command. He had hard work in store for him. He knew hOw to fight with the we'll trained troops of a rich land; but to fight with a throng of ill-clad, ill-paid men who knew naught of war was an other question. But his great soul did not shrink from the task. His plan was not to meet the foe so much in regular fights, as to steal on him and wear him out by long waits. The first great fight he won was at Tren- ton, when, just as the foe thought he had fled, he came back in the storm one dark, cold night OCT the Delaware and took the foe and their camp, on December 26, 1776. Eight days from this he took the field of Princeton on January 3, 1777. and made glad all hearts. This year the foe beat Wash ington at the Brandywine river and

 man fills with gases from ferment- ing and decaying food. Such gases impregnate the breath, filter through the system, spread disease and in large quantities extend the stomach so that it shuts off heart action and death sometimes results.
 Pure, simple willow charcoal ab sorbs gas at once and stops impure food fermentation. It sweetens the stomach, kills the effect of all odors such as liquor, tobacco. onions, etc, or at least prevents them from caus- ing impurities to arise.
 The willow is renowned for its curative properties and ancient leg endary lore is filled with it's use, by barbarians and civilized men. As early as 800 B. C. the ancient Chal deans were sagely curing disease by charcoal and every monastery of the old world healed the sick and cured the drunkard by using powdered willow charcoal.
 Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges are pure willow charcoal, compressed with honey into a delicious lozenge. They contain nothing but sweet willow charcoal and honey. One may eat box of them and feel only benefit from so doing. Two or three after meal will be a sufficient guard against bad breath and the same amount eaten just before bed time will insure a pure breath upon aris- ing the next morning.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges tone up the blood, the liver and the stomach. They are great laxatives, also, but eating large numbers of them does not increase their effect in a painful manner upon the bowels.
