"It isn't often that we have faith

MASS MEETING OF WOMEN
Want to Vote, and as One Argument
Say WOman's Brains Are Bet
ter Than Mans.

Throughout the United States in
every city in which a meeting could
be arranged last Sunday there was
an equal suffrage demonstration"
under the auspices of the Socialist
party and the Socialist Women's So
cieties. The meetings were provided
for at the national conference of the
Socialist party in Chicago, which set
the day as 'woman's suffrage day.
and marked the time as one on
which a political party came for
ward as the champion of women s
right to the ballot.
Two meetings were held in New
York city, one in the Murray Hill
Iyceum in Manhattan, the other in
the Labor Lyceum in Brooklyn.
Prominent socialists and suffragists
were present, and the enthusiasm
manifested was sincere and earnest.
In the Manhattan Miss Eleanor
O'Reilly, the girl of the tenements, -
and prominent member of the Wo-
man . lduG Union, ulduo speech
in which she denounced the women
who oppose equal suffrage
There are many men there" said
Miss O'Reilly, who are no earthly
good. They need the brains of wo-
men. | think that as a rule woman S
brains are better than mans brains. "
Mrs. Anita Block, secretary of the
WOmen's Socialist Society, who pre-
sided, said:
The Socialist party is now the
only recognized champion in the are
ma of women"
Miss Meta Stern, we'll known as a
Socialist writer under her pen name
of 'Hebe," also spoke. She derided
the ''pampered and petted women of
the so-called upper classes, who have
formed anti-suffrage societies. She
said they are foolish and narrow"
and afraid of responsibility
One thousand women and several
hundred men attended the meeting
in Brooklyn, which enthusiastically
Endorsed the right of women to vote.

Remarkable Operation First of the
Kind known to Medical Fraternity.

A Hubbardston, Mass, dispatch
says From six to eight square
inches of skin from the back of a
little white pig were grated upon
the left side of Elizabeth Adams,
five years old, of this town yester-
day.
This is the first instance of the
pig skin grating known to the medf-
cal fraternity in this section.
The girl was scalded February
Bird so severely that the skin came
off from a space estimated at 70
to / 4 square inches. In the progress
of healing the patient had reached
a stage when skin grating was CON
sidered practical, and the operation
was performed by Dr. William T.
knowltOn of HubbardstOn and DR..
E. S. Lewis of Princeton.
The pig, which was ten days old,
was owned by the Rev George Bent,
and was chloroformed for the oper-
alton, which lasted three hours. The

COFFEE AND TEA AND COCOA
SfOO,OO0,O00 WORTH ANNUALLY
Is IMPORTED INTO THE
UNITED STATES.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-$2,O0O,-
100000 worth of coffee, tea and CO.
Goa have been imported into the
United States during the past twenty
years, or an annual average of $780,
100000.
In some years the total of coffee,
tea and cocoa is considerably more
than S1OO,O0O,0O0. Coffee imports
alone have, on certain occasions, ap-
proximated $100,O0O,O00 in value,
while tea has ranged from $1,000
600 to 100000 per annum, and
cocoa has grown from $2,000,000
year to $14, 100000 a year, having
in 1907 and 1908 attained practical
ly the same rank as tea in import
value. Roughly speaking it might
be said that the annual importations
into the United States of coffee, tea
and cocoa amounted to $100,000,000
year, of which three-fourths is
coffee and the remainder about
equally divided between cocoa and
tea.
America supplies the bulk of the
coffee and cocoa and Asia the tea.
Of the coffee imports, taking the ifs
cal year 1903 as an example, the
figures of the bureau of statistics
Of the department of commerce and
labor, show that out of the S9O,O0O,-
100000 pounds imported practically
00,000,000 came from Brazil, an
other 100,000,0OO from other South
American countries, 70,OOO,OOO from
Mexico and Central America and
100000 from the West Indies, the
remainder coming from parts of the
world other than America.

SHOULD PLAY NO POLITICS
CAPTAIN PARK SAYS TREASURY
GUARD SHOULD BE APP
PROVED BY HIM.

ATLANTA-The working of poll
tics is illustrated, almost humorous
ly, by a part of the annual report of
State Treasurer R. E. Park, made
public today
He calls attention to the need of
a treasury guard, noting that mon
ely and securities of immense value
are kept in the vault, and that he is
under a 100000 bond for it's safety.
He thinks that he should be supplied
with guards, at least of his APPROX
al, who are not named for political
reasons
"A few years ago" says the treas
urer, "the comptroller of the curren-
cy of the United States visited my
office and inquired if I had any
guards. | replied None. He stated
that the United States treasury had
sevety-fiVe plain clothes men, armed
and constantly on duty in and near
the treasury department., and at the
same time as many more openly
armed on duty all the while, day and
night. During the week of his visit
here an effort was made to rob the
state treasury of Nebraska, and the
week before a gang of yeggmen at
tempted to rob three different banks
in Georgia.
with this information before me
| called upon the governor then in
office and the adjutant general and
urged the appointment Of a treasury
guard.
Request Complied With.
The request was complied with,
and a feeble and infrm old man who
had been sitting down by the door of
the entrance for years was assigned
to the active duties of treasury
guard. The faithful old gentleman
subsequently became too feeble to
rise from his chair, after he had
taken it, without assistance and
finally dropped dead while an in
cumbent of the position. This was
Mr.. Quilian. He was succeeded by
Mr. Britain, also a venerable but
excellent gentleman of great feeble
ness, and who also unfortunately
dropped dead while an incumbent of
oAio OiiiNO' ClllJ 1CCSIlIly MI. hester
came very near dying of acute indi-
gestion while on his post, and re-
CURED the prompt attention of two
and was carried to the
hospital from the capitol. There
have been numerous other appointees
to the position, but they have been
so frequently that l scarcely
get acquainted with their features, |
after giving them the usual instruc-
tons, before they are removed and
another guard substituted. Many
members of the Legislature and citi-
zens have spoken of the manifestly
inefficient character of this supposed
protection. One of the late aged and
delicate appOintees, while asleep on
his post, permitted someone to pass
by him and leave a burglars key
in door of the treasury having
probably been disturbed in his plans
by the awakening and movement of
the guard"
Such frequent changes and the in
efficient class of men usually en-
ployed, states the treasurer, has oft
ten caused criticism and amusement.
He notes the fact that a majority
OF the men were confederate vete-
rams, of excellent personal character, |
deserving better places and pensions.
He suggests that the treasurer be
hereafter before changes in
the Guard arc na6o
