The suftregeties in London discovered
that the way to call public attention to
their campaign was by advertising and
Fshowing the people they were in earnest. =

Willard yesterday. Mr.. Lyle. who is an
exporter OF manufactured articles and
favors the suffrage movement. Is here on
business.
These women have gone 70 Jsn,r con-
tinued Mr.. Lyle. and to prison Tor the
cause. and car assure you It Is no fun
n England TO go to Jail IN the three sum
mer months. for the sunIrasettes are
treated as are drunkards and others.
This sort Of agitation began four years
ago at a big public meeting which Sir
Edward Grey was addressing in Man
chester. Annie Kenny and Chrissooher
Parkhurst attended. Sir Edward spoke OF
all the great things the LIBERAL party had
done for England, and he patted himself
| on the back a great deal During q
pause in his remarks Annie Kenny spoke
frcm the audience. and said:
=" What are you going TO Go with
womenr
There was q cOmmotiou Immediately.
and one Of the stewards was sent from
the platform to tell Miss Kenny she must
behave At the end OF the meeting Sir
Edward read the question on the piece OF
paper that was handed him tore II I'd.
and tossed It to one side Then Chris
topher Parkhurst asked the question fro,
the floor and there we're cries OF Chuck

we're thrown out Of the hall and the Do
lice took them to jail They we're both
sent 20 prison The papers all over Eng
land were full Of the incident the uext
morning. That was the beginning Of the
suffragette campaign

Another nuisance Is the Chinese Iaun-
dryman, who soaks the linen intrusted

ruins the clothes. Did you ever consider
that the wzshtub n a Chinese laundry
IS liable 20 spread more CONTAGIOUS dis
eases than any other ageucy? The laun-
dry OF healthy person is put in the
same water with that OF a diseased per-
son.
The Italian hurdy-gurdy grinder. with
