Miss Matters Airshlp Goes to
Jail, Not to Parliament.

London, Feb. 17.-The militant suf
fragettes. who hitherto have found tbs
ranks Ok the police invulnerable to
their assaults by either land or water,
decided to Illustrate these guardians
Of the law By approaching the houses
OF parliament from above, by means
OF an airship.
Great secrecy was observed in re-
gard to the preparations for this dar-
ing enterprise. 30 that when the air
ship appeared above the heads Of the
legislators their surprise might be all
the greater to see on the gasbag print
ed the words Votes for Women, Z
while forty-foot steamers bearing
various inscriptions foated in the
wind.
Miss Matters, one Of the heroines
OF the "chain-and-drill' incident in the
house of commons, was to occupy the
airship, accompanied by an expert
enced aeronaut, who would guide the
vessel along the route of the royal pro-
cession and halt it over the houses of
parliament.
When it was halted, Miss Matters,
armed with megaphone, was to shout
down words of defiance at the as
founded commoners and shower down
handbiIis on their heads.
The airship rose all right, but It
seemed endowed with human intelli
gence Of pronounced masculine va.
viety, for instead of following the pre-
arranged course it maj besiine for
