EMMA GOLDMAN AGAIN.

We do not suppose there will be
any interference with her efforts
here. The lady Is a pleasant talker'
well read on some lines and capable
Of entertaining. She is given 20
sophistry and particularly 20 appeals
10 the passions and prejudices OF her
hearers This, at times. may be
dangerous. but as a rule her talks, like

the noise has subsidized and the smoke

Those who ego down to sea IN ships

those who do not go TO sea are equally

His idea was that the comet on a

leagues. Now what was the effect Of
this encounter? A prodlglous food. he
