MRS. MACkEY
WRITES ABOUT WOMEN IN THE
"40O" AND ON THE GROUND.

Discussing the world movement TO-
ward woman's suffrage. Mrs. Clar.
ence Mackay. social eader. clubwom
an. and wife of Nevada's richest
man, takes up the cudgels for her
less fortunate sisters in the follow
ing characteristic manner:
1T is pathetic" she declares. ito
think that there should be any di-
vision Of feeling between the women
VINO have leisure and the women
who have none.
! Here they are divided, as it were.
by great sheet Of crystal. They
are near together and yet they are
SO separated that, while those on
the one side can see those on the
other they cannot hear them, or
speak TO them, or rightly under
stand them"
Mrs. Mackay, who is president of
the Equal Franchise Society. is the
most prominent woman in America
to espOuSe the cause of wOmen's suf-
frage, and in the April number of
Munsey's Magazine she discusses
freely her reasons for actively taking
the field for equal enfranchsement.
why Mrs. Mackay declares, ito
my mind the real importance of Civ.
ing women votes would De found in
thls-that multitude of practicaI
questions now left unheeded wouIo
be taken up and solved.
I'VE must see our opportunity.
There are filthy streets and frightfuI
tenements to be made clean and
wholesome. here are schools whicn
educate the children of the women
OF today, and these nee1 constant
care. There is the injustice and the
oppression suffered by nose women
VINO have to make living for them
selves.
1T is such mistake to fancy that
women who have leisure and money
are Indifferent and frivolous. Moth
ing in tne world could be less true"
Mrs. Mackay not only defends the
women of the 400" but points out
many ways in which women of all
classes can work toward civic better
ment through the agency of the bal !
lOt-box
Being a leader in the most ex-
elusive social circles of America |
Mrs. Mackays attitude has attracted !
widespread attention. She first
startled her friends by standing for !
election and defeating her opponent |
some years ago in the school board |
elections at ROsyln, Long Island, |
where the Mackay country home is !
located. Since that time Mrs. Mac. :
kay has taken a, keen interest in
political matters.

CONGRESS
TARIFF BILL. HOW IT SHAPES
UP.

WASHINGTON. March 19.-That
party lines will be eliminated during
the consideration in the house of the
Payne tariff bill was indicated by the
action of Representative Broussard of
Louisiana in withdrawing from
the meeting of the minority members
of the committee because he differed
from thier views on the tariff
With few exceptions each member
will fight for the interests of his home
district. There is little prospect of
lengthy general debate and the con.
sideration of the measure under the
tive-minute rule for amendment will
be proceeded with as soon as possible
probably by the end of this week.
Unless a gag" rule for the prever-
tion of unlimited amendment under
the tive-minute rule is brought IN
the minority members of tne ways
and means committee will not report
separate bill. Their report will be
drafted by Minority Leader Clark and
will severely criticise the wool sched-
ule. 1t is contended by the Demo-
Gratis that ii has not been cut suf-
ficiently to place it on revenue bas
is. Probably numerous amendments
are anticipated.

Ormsby county and Carson City
have reason to feel pretty good over
the session.
Two hundred persons spending
their subsistenence money for 80 days

In addition to this, though the
members of this session were rather
canny about spending money. are the
appropriations that directly affect
this county.
Assemblyman RayCraft has been
Johnny at the rat hole ever since the
session opened and introduced ana
favored every bill that was designed
to secure the eXpendituer of money in
this county. Through his efforts and
those of others in the legislature
laws have been passed that call for
the expenditure of nearly S45O.O00 in
OrmSby county in the next TWO years.
Ass6mblymen Leary and Small
We're able seconds to Raycraft's eff
forts and the county has not com
plant to make about the attitude OF
its assemblymen.
Senator Woodbury. needs no recon-
for his attitude in regard
to appropriations or bills designed to
benefit this city and county. Jim
Woodbury. is too we'll known in this
to need any added praise for
good work well done. He is a man
who does his work without fear or ia
vor and as are ali such men, he was
in right every time he recorded a
vote.

PATH SESSION ENDS IN
WEE MORNING HOURS

The Legislature has adjourned and
most of the members have already
started for home.
The closing hours of the session,
like those of previous sessions were
filled with action. measures were
rushed through and measures were
killed with neatness and dispatch.
The most important bill handled
was the banking act. which was pass.
ed finally with the guarantee of de.
pOsts feature eliminated. In the
main the balance OF the bin stood
and even without the guarantee fea
ture. is good bill.
When IL became evident yesterday
evening that the senate and assembly
were hOpelessly divided on the meas
ure, the ASSEMBLY, was asked to re.
crde from its amendments. on the
principal that half loaf is better
than none. annH the bill was put
through. Ii is probable that the gov.
crnor will sign IL.
The appropriation act provides for
the expenditure of nearly million
dollars for one purpose and another.
and there $ less than $1,000 of this
that can be said to be unnecessary.
This Is a remarkable record for any
Legislature.
Salaries were raised in nearly ev-
cry d. partment of the states business
to II point where good men can afford
to give their time to the business OF
the state exclusively, which has not
been the case hsretofore Any com.
plant against these salaries is not
we'll founded for it is impossible to
get good men o take offices when
the pay is not commensurate with the
income OF such men in private life.

appropriations for all purposes and

followed the officers and chevaliers Of
Canton Augusta and their ladies. those
of Canton Evergreen of Gardiner and
also of Canton Halifax of Watervile,
quite a goodly delegation of both Or
CARNATIONS being in attendance. Then
came a large number of Augusta pco-
pie and those of other places, who had
assembled to participate in the enjoy
ment of the occasion. 1t is estimated
that there were at least $50 couples on
the floor at the grand march and 9TH
erS came later.
The dance order included II dances
and three extras and was a neat folder
with insert, done in purple and gold.
The floor was in charge of Past Com
mander George + Andrews, he being
assisted in his duties by Lieut. j. K
Brown, Ensign c. N. Taber, Acct G.
G. Lonefel!ow and Chevalier George
S. Peaslee.
After seven of the dances had been
enjoyed came the hour for intermis-
sion, during which refreshments of ice
cream. cake and punch were served in
the hall, and then the dance was re-
su1ned. II was late when the last waltz
was over, but many staid for the pur-
pose Of enjoying it, andsthc unanimous
verdict Of the departing guests was
that the bali had been the most sue
cessful that had yet been given by the
Canton.
The ball was well planned and we'll
carried out, and the success achieved
was due in a large measure to the ef-
forts Of the committees in charge, they
