cended the throne as Leopold ]. He
married the laughter of Louis Philippe,
the Citizen King of France, and their
son was leopold II, who has recently
died. The late monarch, in spite of his
gay life, had plenty of trouble in his
family. His sister was the Inflated
Carlotta. who married the unfortunate
Maximilian, whom the French tried to
make Emperor of Mexico. and who be-
came insane after the execution of her
husband; his only son died at the age
of nine years; his eldest daughter,
Louise, who was married to the nephew
of Queen Victoria, ran away from her
husband with an Austrian army officer;
his daughter, Stephanie, was the wife
of the Crown Prince Rudolph of Aus

pold's Queen, Henrietta. died, II is sup
posed, of broken heart, caused by his
flagrant neglect of her and his utter in
difference to the so considered decencies
of life. Perhaps all this trouble was
one reason why he was so gay.
Charles w. Morse, the envy of thou
sands of men a few short years ago,
now clad in prison garb. has begun his
long sentence of Is years in the Jail at
Atlanta. He has been assigned to
class l." which enables prisoners to
see relatives every two weeks, write
letters and take books from the prison
library. He will probably be put at
work either in the tailor shop or on
the construction gang. Neither his head
nor mustach We're shavel, which fact
will undoubtedly be of great comfort
to his devoted wife. Morse seems cool.
cheerful and hopeful as to the result of
his fight for freedom, which he says is
now to begin in earnest. He thinks
that the paying off of his fine of ST.
100000 and his one year in the Tombs
ought to satisfy the demands of JUS
uce, and he still asserts that the jury
that tried him We're under the influence
of liquor. Mrs. Morse has joined him
IN Atlanta, and, as was supposed, will
remain in that city during her hus-
bands imprisonment. which she fond
iy believes will not be for very long
or at least make it her headquarters.
She has received thousands of letters
from people who sympathize with her
and believe in him, and she is going to
prepare monster petition for her huS-
bands liberty. which she will present to
President Taft. She has already en-
tered upon this work. As long as she
lives. she says. she shall fight for her
husbands release. which is the way, of
course. she should talk Morse carried

In the suffraget, suffragist world
much is doing. on both sides of the
Atlantic there is trouble in the camps
of this army. In England Mathew Ar
nold's niece, Miss Ethel Arnold, who is
a suffragist, but not a suffraget, saws
that the pranks of the latter have prob
ably killed all hopes of getting the suf-
frage for women in England for the
present at least Their boasted mill
fancy has obsessod them, she says. and
they are so much occupied with their
own noise that they cannot hear what
is being said of them. Miss Arnold
thinks they have made no real step
forward and have done great harm to
the cause. On her way home is the
American, Miss Alice Paul, who has
been serving a month in Holloway Jail
with other suffraget disturbers of the
peace in London. very weak and mis-
cradle on account of the enforced feed
ing TO which she was subjected. Miss
Paul had better remain at home. over
here Miss Annie Morgan, who has
lately made herself prominent along
with Mrs. Belmont and Miss Mackey as
a champion of the shirt-waist striking
girls of New York. is now being hauled
over the Goals by these girls on ac-
count of her expressed disapprObation
of their socialistic talk. Her attitude
does not match her words, they say.
But the thing or the most interest IN
the woman suffrage world in America
just at present is the lining up of the
anti-sufffage women of New York. In
their ranks are many women of high
social prominence, like Bishop Doane's
granddaughter, Miss Margaret Gardi-
ner, Miss Jessie McElroy, President Ar
thurs niece, and others, headed by Mrs.
Nelson Herrick Henry, wife of the
State Adjutant-General. Mrs. Henry is
a thoro-going. wide-awake business wo-
man. and from the number of fair deb
utantes and society people in her fol-
lowing the movement has been termed
the pink tea ballot war" These wo-
men say that they are just as thoroly
in earnest as their aggressive sisters,
and that If there is to be any show
of women at the Capitol this Winter
hanging around to buttonhole members
they will have an equal number of their
own people on hand to go for the same
buttonholes.
