A WAR OF SEXES?
Mrs. Belmont Prophesies in Regard to
Equal Suffrage Struggle.

A war of hatred between the sexes
was predicted recently in New York,
by Mrs. o. III. p. Belmont. 1t must
come, she said, unless equal suffrage is
granted to women. An audience of 200
men and women gathered at a meeting of
the Mems club of the All Souls Univer-
salist church in Flatbush to hear the suff-
ragette leader and other speakers.
"How any men of the present day can
be proud of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, which applies to but oDe-half of
the people or of the Constitution, that
allows only one-half of the people to
govern themselves, is something | can
not understand" said Mrs. Belmont.
ITO me it represents the grossest injus-
tice. Will you wait until this injustice
creates another war? [ do not mean by
this war such as men have always
waged-of bloodshed and death-but one
of bitter antagonism, almost of hatred,
between the sexes. For this must come
if YOU will not face the actual situation
and give to women absolute equality OF
rights. The patriarchial age is past. The
girl of today must find occupation beyond
the parental roof, and the widow must
stand alone in the struggle for existence.
Even the little child must stand and wait
for bread. As you men have assumed
control Of every situation, why do you
mete out to women half the pay for the
same work for which you give. yourelf
full pay? Can you believe that the wom-
en- will much longer submit to this Old
time yoke Of barbarous subJugauon!

KRUPP HEIRESS AMAZED.
Baroness Wilmowski and Her Husband
Enjoy American Tour.

Baron and Baroness Philo Won Will
mowski, visiting America incognito,
passed week in Chicago. They ex-
pressed their amazement at the natural
and man-made wonders of the United
originally merely for pleasure, to have
been one of the most educational jour-
neys they ever had taken. The baroness
was Fraulein Barbara Krupp, daughter
of Alfred Krupp, famous cannonmaker
Of Essen, Germany.
''You do things on such a great scaie,'
said the baron; you speak in millions OF
dollars; you speak of square miles, not
acres of lands; of millions OF feet, not
thousands, of lumber; of herds, not cat
tie, and so of everything. You are a
people of big figures"
'Your newspapermen are the most
persistent l have ever seen," smiled the
baroness, over her steaming cup of cot
fee, when interviewed at breakfast.
Mercy! Some one called us up at mid
night, then at Z a. m.-yOur papers must
know you are very Industrious"
In reply to an inquiry on the subject
of charity, the baroness said: You wish
to ask about charity work? Well, yes,
do a little, of course, only l don't like
to talk about it. i do what l can.sl had
VI lane AuudAlS anu IhO AAuAA
house, but / thought of them the same
as of our similar charities in Hamburg.
L was never so astonished as when | saw
the many different nationalities taken
care of, each with it's different character
istics and habits. In newspaper | saw
announcement of a wonderful charity
ball to be given. And it is by your rich
society leaders, too. well, | think that
gives one a different opinion of our
wealthy women than one gets in Eu-
rope, where they seem to devote their
time to different ways. | am glad saw
this. for now l think more of your rich
women and men; before, we never saw
the whole of their nature.
Yes INTERCEPTED the baron. Il am
farmer. We don't have SO many acres by
thousands, but we concentrate our work
and do more scientific farming. You see,
the baroness is not now interested in the
big gun works-her elder sister manages
that plant
1--WE have been in America two
months. We went through New York, ST
Louis, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle
and back across the monster wheat fields
of your prairies. / never knew before
how vast distance it was between Chi
cago and the western coast"

KILLING A FASHION.
Fat Duchess and Fur Cape-Murderess il
Black Satin Dress and White Veil.


Black Satin Dress and White Veil.
1t is not easy to kill fashion, but it
may be done with authority and skill.
Authority comes in with the postmaster
generals limitation of the cardboard box
to 6 feet measured either way)
Which means, being interpreted that the
postmaster general, being a man, fOrbids
you, being woman. to achieve by par
GELS post a hat which is above the regu-
lation government official size. Whatever
you are, ladies, the postmaster general,
with his tape measure, remembers what
you wear.
The postmaster general and the lady
who was hanged in black silk dress are
not alone in the settling of fashion The
size of the hat is limited by the size of
the bandbox the post Office will accept,
and the women of England said they
would be hanged if they wore black
silk dress, in which notorious lady was
strangled. But budding fashion was
curiously squashed in the end of the last
century, the fur cape, useful article,
and ornamental to the slim. A fat
duchess saw herself in the glass, saw
that it did not suit her stubby figure and
dressed her cOachman in it. And the fur
cape became SO questionable that even
fOOtmen struck.
Both black satin dresses and white lace
wells went Immediately out Of fashion
when Il lnurderess wore them at her exc
cution. The woman was Mrs. Manning,
who with her husband was executed for
the murder of a man named O'ConnOr,
before Horsemonger Lane Jail on No
vember 10, 1916.
A particular kind of black beaver hat
fell in popularity when Franz Muller was
in 1864 hanged ior the murder of Thorn
as Briggs on the North London railway
Muller's hat, found in the railway car
riage, formed the connecting link in a re-
markable chain of circumstantial evil
dence. Henceforth ''mulers." as they
were called, were tabooed. and anybody
who wore one risked having it smashed
at sight.
While in England garments have been
made questionable by figuring at the
execution of criminals, in France the
public executiOner at one time actually
set the fashion. Samson, the execution
er, was famous for the richness of his at
tire and attracted such attention there
by that just before the revolution he
was forbidden to wear blue, which was
a nobleman's color. By way of protest
he made himself even more gorgeous, and
despite his office made the green cloth
which he adopted fashionable with the
court dandies, who initiated both the
cut and color Of his clothes.-LondOn

Experiments satisfied me, some 5
years ago." writes Topeka woman,
that coffee was the direct cause OF
the insomnia from which I suffered
terribly, as we'll as the extreme nerv-
BUSINESS and acute dyspepsia which
made life most painful thing for me.
II had been a coffee drinker since
childhood, and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all
this harm. But it was, and the time
came when l had to face the fact, and
protect myself. I therefore gave up
coffee abruptly and absolutely, and
adopted Postum for my hot drink at
meals
Il began to note Improvement in my
condition very soon after / took on
Postum. The change proceeded grad
ually, but surely, and it was a matter
of only few weeks before found
myself entirely relieved-the nervous
ness passed away, my digestive ap-
paratus was restored to normal eff
cheney, and began to sleep, restfully
and peacefully.
These happy conditions have con-
tinued during all of the years, and
I am safe in saying that owe them
entirely to Postum, for when began
to drink it'll ceased to use medicines"

SOCIETY IN NEVADA.
Many Strange Vicissitudes in the Matter
of Wealth.

Today a humble gold-seeker may be
living in hutch of the simple architec-
ture of a box car. Tomorrow he IS
building villa" with real clapboards
and shingles, hiring Chinaman of all
work and sending to Frisco for brass
bed and a Persian rug. Some very
pretty little houses begin to dot the
barren landscape A railroad stretches
its metal arm down into the gold-bear-
ing wilderness and links it with the
outer world. Come tailors, modistes and
milliners, soda water and ice cream,
clergymen and drummers, pickpOckets
and actors and all that splendid process
sion from the coy corners of civilization.
Social conditions were decidedly per-
picking. Your washerwoman accepted
mining claim for an uncollectable debt.
Suddenly the claim yields her fortune.
whereat, to show you that her wealth
has not made her snobbish, she pur-
chases an elaborate portable house and
settles down as your next-door neighbor.
However, if you take it into your
head to move away from the vicinity OF
the fortunate lavandiere you would find
the moving problem quite simple. A
small force of husky men can pull your
house up by the roots and carry it up
hill or down a slope without any great
exertion-that is, unless your dwelling is
'dobe or you happen to be one of the
bonanza crowd and have gone in for
heavy architecture.-Good Housekeeping.

AFTER NIGHT-RIDERS.
The Government Preparing to Strike

+ The government is preparing to go aft
er the night riders of Kentucky and
Tennessee by beginning proceedings
against the Burley Tobacco society, on
the ground that it is a combination and a
conspiracy under the terms of the Sher-
man Antitrust law. The department of
justice is investigating its operations on
that ground. Agents who have been
making inquiries concerning the methods
of the association have reached the con-
clusion that the organization is connected
with the depredations of the night rid
ers Officials in charge of the inquiry
now purpose to present the matter to the
courts The department, however, is
undecided whether the proceeding shall
he civil or criminal. With that point de-
icided, the matter will receive prompt at
tenton. The Burley society is Il strong
organization, composed largely of farm
ers Its members contend that they have
been forced to band themselves together
to resist the operations of the American
Tobacco company, which, they charge,
has Systematically depressed the market
for Kentucky and Tennessee tobacco and
kept prices down to the lowest point.
They also allege that the Tobacco trust
has driven down its prices on raw to-
bacco. while making no reductions in the

In the arrest of Fred Schaeser, So
