WOMEN WE'LL PAID
Gertrude Atherton Makes Strenuous
 Declaration in New York

Miss Gertrude Atherton, the novelist, took part in a heated discussion on woman $ suffrage at meeting held n the Garden theater yesterday under the auspices of the Equal Suffrage league of which Mrs. Clarence Mackay is pres- dent. Forbes Robertson, the actor, pre- sided at the meeting, which was attend ed by fashionable audience that occu- pied every seat in the theater.
 Among the speakers were Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, Mrs. Stanton Blatch and the Rev. Anna Shaw. Following the speeches Dr. Shaw announced that the speakers would be glad to answer any questions that persons in the Audience might ask. Miss Atherton, who occu- pied a rear seat in the orchestra, took exception to the statement made by Mrs. Catt to the effect that men were much better paid than women.
 cit is not true that men receive more money than women for the same service,' ' said Miss Athertom '' l am novelist and l have received the same terms that any of the men authors have received, and sometimes better terms. v
 Mrs. Catt explained that Miss Ather- ton had not quite understood her state ment, but added: of the young lady believes that women are as well paid as men let her change her occupation from novelist to that of a shirt waist maker and she will find out the differ, ence.D
 'l insist that women are just as well paid as men when they can produce the goods, = answered Miss Atherton. We get the money no matter what line we compete in, so long as our work is as good as that produced by the men.
 Dr. Shaw then interrupted the dis. cussion to ask why, if women had an equal chance with men Miss Lewis had taken the name of George ElOt. To this question Miss Atherton responded that such would not be necessary at the present time.
 ''If you don't think that sex makes any difference in some professions then try and be minister and you will find the distinction, said Dr. Shaw.
 Forbes Robertson then took hand in the discussion. He sad: "It has all ways been my experience that the mere tact of being woman is against her. It is the same in all opportunities, no matter what her calling may Ue. ''-New York American

denly reeling back dead into the
arms of Rose Harper, her daughter,
Mrs. Mahala Hopper, wife of
Thomas Hopper, the noted guide
and friend of Theodore Roosevelt,
died yesterday morning of heart
failure.
On arising yesterday morning,
Mrs. Hopper was apparently in the
best of health, ate hearty break
fast and did the usual work around
the house. No intimation of any
thing wrong was given, until she
reeled back dead. Mrs. Hopper
was "a years old and had many
friends both in this city and in
British Columbia.

known hunters in the country, hav-
ing led several hunting expeditions

A WAR STORY---
NOT FROM RENO

One of the interesting survivors
OF the war for the preservation of
the union, present at yesterdays
session of the soldiers camp, was
NJ. o. Holston of the First and Six
teenth Illinois infantry. Holston
rendered considerable service to the
cause of the union as a member Of
the secret service staff. commonly
called in the army spy. 1t is the
most dangerous work that a soldier
can undertake. Yet it is fascinat-
ing, and success means reward by
promotion. Detection means in
slant death at the hands of the ene-
my.
Holston tells with good deal Of
pleasure of the time he was at the
head of a Confederate company of
negroes and drilling them to beat
the band. The officers of the COM
pany, all clad in the regulation
gray, were picked men from the
union lines. During the day they
would drill the colored volunteers
up and down the valley, and at
night engage in burning bridges,
firing stores adm other such excit
ing pastimes. This work would be
done by his white company officers
to whom he would issue passes in
proper form and thus avoid sus-
picion.
Finally, Holston was organizing
a company to storm Andersonville
prison. when the Confederate boys
got too hot on his trail and forced
him to change his base of opera
tons.

The commission form of govern

conducted on strict business prin-
ciples. Each commissioner is held
strictly accountable for the work of

OUTRAGE TO DELAY CHARTER
REVISION CONSIDERATION

Editor The Press-The action of
the city council in putting off the
election OF Is freeholders for nearly
a year was a high handed outrage.
More than 5000 citizens of Spokane
have asked for the right to vote on
a new charter and their petition is
entitled to hearing forthwith. 1t
does not speak very well for the
council that a committee must insti-
tute mandamus proceedings to Sc
cure TO the people one of their most
sacred rights-the right of petition.
l attended the meeting of the city
council last Tuesday night and in
the course of one of the wrangles
one of the members of the council
said he was ashamed to belong to
such body. Another one a little
later in the meeting said he did not
blame the people for wanting to
change to the commission form of
government.
Spokane needs the best plan of
city government she can possibly
get and she has about the worst
form to be found anywhere. The
mayor, instead of being an import
ant factor in directing the affairs of
the city as a member of the council,
is chiefly figurehead. He never
attends the meetings of the council,
and the impression prevails that he
is not wanted there. The work of
the council, as shown at the meet
ing the other night. is travesty on
the name of government. To illus
trate: There were men present de
manding relief from the council on
account of the water shortage. Peo-
pie were clamoring for water to use

feeling became intense one mem
