woMAN's SUFFRAGE COMING.
Is Belief Of City Clerk Mackay, Told in
Address on Citizenship.

The regular meeting Of the Young Peo-
pies association was held in the Pres
byterian church last evening when City
Clerk James Mackay addressed the mem
bers on "Priviledges of Citizenship" A
good sized audience was present, and Mr..
Mackay handled his subject in manner
that held the undivided attention of his
listeners. In opening his remarks, the
speaker congratulated the association on
the success of the instructive meetings
already held regularly throughout the
winter, and expressed his best wishes for
future equally as good Such So
ciety of young people, he said, is bound
to prove beneficial
Defining Aristotles well known declara-
tion Of citizenship, Mr.. Mackay proceed
ed to show that the true citizen can ex-
ist only in free state or country.
America, he said, is conceded to have
one Of the most enlightened forms of
government. Under it, it is possible for
all to take part therein with the ex-
ception of the women, who do not yet
share in popular government. He be-
lieved. however, that the day is not far
distant when the right to vote would
be extended to women, and that this
important step would give our citizen
ship an even higher value than it has
to-day.
He spoke also Of the increased obliga-
tions Of citizenship and said that with
this increase comes an increased respon-
sibility on the part Of parents, who have
charge Of rearing our future citizens.
He touched on the primary Importance
Of good character as essential to true
citizenship. II we turn to George Wash
ngton, the father of our country, he
said, we find that his memory is cher
ished not so much for what he achieved
in warfare, or in craftsmanship as for
the high and noble ideals with which he
was imbued.
In closing Mr.. Mackay emphasized
the duty Of the citizen to take an active
interest in everything that pertains to
industrial life. 1t is our duty, be said,
To shape the conditions Of Industrial life
in this country whereby it will be inn
possible for the few to revel in material
things they never earned Following his
conclusion, the speaker was heartily ap-
plauded. Routine business was followed
by social hour.

SAW FOUR MEN CRAWL
THROUGH FENCE
A Milkman Gives First Good Clew to
Mystery of the Robbing of Tomb
at Erie, Pa, This Week.

Erie, Pa, Feb l0.-The story told
by milkman to-day regarding
the stealing of body from the Scott
mausoleum in the Erie cemetery and
the tampering with the faskets Of five
others buried there, was to the effect
that on January 27, he was stopped by
man near the cemetery, who said he
had heard hammering in the cemetery
and later saw four men crawl through
the fence. This story is being investi-
gated by detectives in connection with
the robbery Of the mausoleum.
On account Of the retieence of the po-
lice and members Of the family, much
mystery surrounds the deseeration of the
mausoleum. Although the statement is
sued by the family is to the effect that
the body stolen was that of Mrs Anna
McCollum, rumors are persistent that
the ghouls have taken the body of the
millionaire congressman, William Scott.
An investigation Of the vault has
shown eonclusiyely that the ghouls were
persons familiar with the work under
taken When the copper plates in front
of the crypts were torn away q sharp
hooked instrument was run into the
crypt and the name plates pulled from
the caskets.
The head of Pittsburg detective
agency and number of assistants ar
rived here last night. They visited the
home of Charles H. Strong, son-in-
law of Mr.. Scott, and later inspected
the mausoleum No statement was
forthcoming, however It is reported
that the Strong family is contemplating
the announcement of large reward for
the recovery of Mrs McCollums body.
During the day the cemetery officials Of
fered reward of 81 600.

to collect them, but in each case the
estate lost the case, and the money dwin-
died to $4,000 Then the settlement
between Mr.. Montgomery and Frank
Walbridge, one of the heirs. was con-
tested and the result has been a long
period Of litigation. Up to the present
time. the heirs have received $4,000, and
it is expected that the matter can soon
be settled. now that the decision has
been given
