.SUFFRAG|STS TELL

American and British Women
Address Mass-Meeting
in Washington.

Washington, u. G.. April 17.--With

to offer prayer, five prominent Ameri-

mass meeting OF suffragists this after
noon. 1t was a gathering incidental 10

age.
Harriet May Wills. of New York. told
of the troubles of the suffragists In the
New York Legislature.
Both Beatrice Forbes Robertson, q
British sufragists, and Ella Seass Stew
art. of Chicago, happened to give a
classification of the opponents of wo-
man suffrage.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote some
poetry In behalf Of the cause on the
stage while the others spoke. and then
read It. with the explanation, not that
she meant to reflect on those who had
preceded her. but that none might go
away and say they had heard nothing
new on the subject
The British and the American classi-
fication of opponents was radically
different. According to the British
speaker, they were really divided into
two classes-those who are prejudiced
against the movement and those who
believe it inexpedient to give suffrage
to women. While touching on the
subject of eHpediency, the speaker said
1T was neither necessary nor expedient
for American women 10 go to jail IN
behalf of the cause.
The American classification put the
opponents into three classes, designated
as the ghosts. the owls or hooters. and
the complacent sinners. Among some
of the ghosts feared, according to the
speaker, were the ghosts. only bad
women would vote" the one that "the
women would deprive the men OF their
darling vices" that the women would
do nothing else but vote" and that
they would not vote at all"
Another figure in the meeting was
