In her talk Mrs. Marshall left no
doubt that she prefers the cares OF
her household TO the cares OF the pub

She said she had confidence in the
purity and honesty of men and in
their power 10 administer the affairs
OF government capahly.
These are not new opinions with
Mrs. Marshall she said. and she said
that Sc did not expect 10 change
them. She said she based her belief
on what she had seen and observed
Of men as the directors Of these AT

\ woman is liable 10 act on An I'M

men who are really good men should

son was elected Il member of the In

election last fall Miss Nicholson was
i teacher in the Indianapolis schools

OF the city that brought her out as a

This mas seemed TO encourage the
women. especially in this city in their
fight for the right To vote, They say
now that ii they are good enough 10
vote for school commissioners they are
surely good enough 10 vote at the gen

taken the other view. When she was
asked for an EXPRESSION of opinion on
the question Mrs. Marshall talked
freely and frankly. declaring that the
sphere of woman is the home. and
that the affairs of the state and ma
ton should he left in the hands OF the
men. Mrs. Marshall not only declar'

suffrage in any form but said that
she was opposed 10 the plan 10 grant
women the right TO vote at school

Judging from what she said. Mrs
Marshall will not lend any assistance
TO the movement for woman suffrage
in the state. She believes women are
too impulsive to have charge OF the
reins of government. They do not
weight questions sufficiently and are
too likely TO be guided by their sen
timeuts rather than the CAPABILITIES and

Indianapolis. Feb. 9-There is a
movement on foot among the women
OF Indiana who are members of the
Indiana Federation of Women's clubs
to bring about woman's suffrage in
this state. This is not a new move

N the right 10 vote. Three years ago
ihts movement reached its crest For
days and days crowd OF women lob

But they failed, by small margin. TO

Women's clubs throughout the state

Erythrophlocum laboucheri Cor poison
tree. Referring to this tree in speak
ing at Il meeting Of the Sydney Nat
urai History society, \. Weston, for
merly protector of aborigines in north
ern Queensland, says that when in
full foliage it is one Of the most beau
tiful trees in the world. The wood is
elegantly grained and marked by col
ors and peculiar streaks which readily
distinguish it from any other known
timber. 1t is extremely hard and
tough, and the blacks Of the Cape
York peninsula use it for making their
woomeras. with which they throw the
spear. The tree bears long rods con-
tanning beans, which. like the leaves,
are fatal to all animal life. The
stomach Of dead goat or a dead sheep
may show only three or four undigeSt-
cd green leaves. All animals are blind
before they die and remain blind if
they recover. This tree killed sixteen

Of the Jardine brothers in their ex-
petition to Cape York in 1864 On one
occasion it killed several thousand

Vice President.
METHODISTs CRITICISED

AMERICAN FROM A DELIBERATE
ATTEMPT TO AFFRoNT CATHo.
Lie CHURCH..

Chicago. Feb 9.-The refusal of the
Vatican authorities to permit Mr.
Charles w. Fairbanks. former vice
president of the United States. to have
forth statement of explanation from
Archbishop Ireland. who was here on
his way East.
The Archbishop vigorously defends
the attitude of his church and severely
criticises the Metodist Association in
Rome. whose methods in PROSECUTING,
he says, are not honorable.
He seeks to absolve the former vice
president from intention to affront the
Catholic church. and plainly throws
down the gauntlet to the Methodists
by stating that he will be ready to re-
ply to them at any time, and declaring
Il am not too old to enjoy fight
when occasion requires it,
Archbishop's Statement.
Archbishop Ireland gave the follow
ing statement:
People in America may easily mis-
apprehend the circumstances in Rome
which led the Vatican to refuse an au-
dience with the Holy Father to Mr.
Charles w Fairbanks. after he. for
mer vice president of the United States
would have made public address be
fore the Methodist association of that
city. Most likely Mr.. Fairbanks him
self did not fully realize the meaning
which Romans would attribute to his
address.
1t was not a question of Mr. Fair
banks's being a Methodist or going to a
Methodist church in Rome for Sunday
devotion. 1t was question of appear
ing to give the fullest approval TO the
work of the Methodist association in
Rome.
american Nethodists in Rome are
active, and-I may readily say-perni-
cious proselyters.
Seeks to Pervert Catholics.
The Methodist association is not in
Rome to serve and meet American
Methodists. but to pervert from the
Catholic faith all those upon whom
they can bring influences to bear.
Il was in Rome last winter and |
made a very particular study of the
Methodist propaganda. 1t has gone
SO far that Catholics have organized
the Society for the Preservation OF the
Faith. to fight against it.
The purpose of the work of the
Methodist association in Rome is con-
fessed openly. The means employed
are by no means honorable. They
take every advantage OF the poverty OF
the poor of Rome The books circu-
lated and displayed in the windows OF
their book stores. are ISLANDERS against
the Catholic faith, the holy pontiff at
Rome. and a Misrepresentation Of the
whole Catholic system.
Not Worth the Money.
The success of the movement is far
from adequate TO the efforts put forth
and the money expended. They don't
make permanent Methodists of Italian
Catholics. They may possibly detach
pupils from the Catholic church. and
this means from all Christian things
for Italians.
Now. public address by a former
vice president Of the United States. be-
fore the Methodist association. can
have no other meaning in the eyes of
