A RAPHAEL FOR $3.50
Neubourg Grocery Keeper Does an
unexpectedly Good Stroke
of Business.

London, Oct. 2,-The discovery OF
what is regarded by the experts who
have examined 1t as a genuine Ra.
phael has just ben made at Neuboug
unde: peculiar circumstances.
A few months ago picture repre-
senting the blessed virgin, with the
infant Christ seated in her lap, was
disposed of to a local grocer for the
small sum of $3.50 at the sale of -
effects of neighboring rector.
Pleased with his acquisition, the
tradesmaD showed it to a barrister
who has written several works on ar
tistic subjects, in the department of
the Eure, and who. promptly recog-
nizing its Importance, went thorough
ly into the matter and arrived at the
conclusion that this was the picture
which had been enormously defined
as the Madonna d'Orleans, but since
more correctly named the Reveil de
Infant, an original of which, as a
dispatch from Evreaux states, exists
in the Bridgewater Gallery.

Pending a final decision, it is per

SQUAWs SUFFRAGE.

The Indian women of Oklahoma are
being Initiated into the great posi-
bilities of suffrage.
The suffragette leaders feel er
couraged and predict that there will
be general demand from the Indian
women OF the Southwest to be al
lowed to cast their votes in future
elections.
This is direct attack upon the
traditions of the tribes. 1t is not the
belief OF tAe Indians that women are
equal to men. Since the day that
Columbus landed until the present.
women have been a minor considera.
lion with the chiefs of the country.
Their squaws have been bought and
sold like goods and chattels. The In
dian brave has had sometimes more
respect for his dogs and ponies than
he has had for mis- squaws and her
little ones. II the baby born was
male baby, then there was rejoicing
in the wigwam. II il happened to be
one Of the unfortunate sex. the mo-
|ther wept bitter tears Of regret.
Suffrage with the Anglo-Saxons is
different, and the women have been
reared in the belief of equality. In
dian women have been taught that
they are mems interiors and have no
right to expect to share the donors
of life with him.
They do the drudgery. They do
the homework. They labor in the
fields like slaves, while the men OF
the tribe hunt and accept the pleas
ures of life as their natural due.
Things are changing in this world.
Customs of yesterday are no longer
the customs of today. Men and wo-
men are adapting themselves to
| new conditions, and the day may yet
come when Indian women will go to
| the polls and cast their votes.

with no opposition. The Indians OF

point in their lives. They are be

MORE "oFFIcIAL" GRAFT.

Readers OF The Bulletin will recall
a story given during street carnival
week, in which it was related that a
man from Kentucky had come to-
Cairo in search OF his wife who had
come here with another mon, and
that the pair were located by the hus-
band in hotel here. The story as
given to The Bulletin was that the
couple had received notice Of the ar.
rival OF the husband and had es-
capped, going back to Kentucky. This
later. it transpires now, was an
error. The Bulletin would not refer
editorially to this unpleasant story
were 1t not that the sequel seems to
constitute another chapter in connec.
tion with official graft in this city,
practiced against visitors to the city
from the surrounding country, when
ever the least opportunity presents
itself.
woman applied to Attorney O'Shea
to begin proceedings which would
force the man in the case to pay him

money The proceedings were not to

the case, Later the husband applied
to States Attorney Wilson for a war
rant, with the same purpose In view,
and that official also refused to lend
himself to any such scheme.
But 1t seems there were other Off
Gals or ex-officials IN the city who
were not so scrupulous. At any rate,
according to the story of "the man
in the case" as told to leading
business man by himself, he was ar.
rested by two officers, "a tall man
with peck marked face and a short
man with round face, who said
they were deputy sheriffs and wore
official badges" The officers marched
the man toward Judge Harmon s
court on Ninth street and on the way
to the court the conversation took a
financial turn. The officers proposed
to "go easy" with him IL he would
pay them 500. He would not hear
Of this and offered to pay them s25,
This offer was in turn rejected, and

A POPULAR MOVEMENT.

The Cairo Booster" button will
soon be here and offered for sale, for
the purpose Of raising $1,000 TO pro
mote Cairos Industrial development
in the manner that all other live
cities are doing thisby systematic
work. AS Mr., Aisthorpe stated at
the Commercial Club meeting, the
idea is not a new one; il has been
followed with good success in vari-
GUS of the big cities, notably Mem
phis, where $4,000 was raised in
this manner in As hours: also IN
Chicago.
Perhaps the strongest point in its
favor is that il makes the subscrip-
ton popular one-eyery property
6wner can afford to wear one OF
these buttons, and many of the labor
ing men. 1t appeals to the patriotism
of all citizens and unites them all in
one common purpose which is to
build up the city for the benefit OF
all.
Az matter of course, 1t does not
mean that those who can afford 1t
shall not take more than one button.
More than likely, some citizens VIII
take five, ten, twenty of fifty buttons
at 81 each.
II was voted at the club meeting
asst week that the money be turned
over to the Commercial Club, which
will direct its use according TO plans
outlined.

costs more in human life than is in
dicated by these ngures. Bubonic
plague which nourishes because the
natives will not kill rats, has carried
off 100000 persons In ten years.
1t seems that 1t Is easier to per-
suade the Indians that 1t Is not

than to convince him that it is well

say they carry the germ of plague
But a gradual advance in enlighten-

ton of life in British India would
probably increase 30 per cent if the
population should learn to protect it
self by cooperating with the govern
ment in its efforts to suppress plague
by killing rats, reduce typhoid fever
and cholera by not drinking contami-
mated water and to vaccInate against
smallpox instead Of assembling in
picnic clothes and making a prayer
to propitiate the goddess of that dis
ease. The snakes and tigers of In
dia are less dangerous to life than
ignorance and superstition.

OF course no sympathy need be
wasted on the victim in this case for
he was guilty of serious offense and
