Socialists from Milwaukee, presented
communication from 10000 members
of the Wisconsin Federation Of Labor
asking for a constitutional convention.
The communication declares that So
cia1 and economical conditions have
changed to such an extent since 184S
that the constitution adopted By the
state in that year now serves Ike
special interests instead OF the people.
Frequently during discussions on bills
members have limited that the state
has outgrown the old constitution. and
that a new one should take its place
to meet new conditions.

Women from all Wisconsin swept
down upon the legislature to show
their interest in that all-important
subject. woman suffrage. The assem-
bly, chamber. which was packed from
the main floor to the CALLERS, was es-
pecially decorated for the occasion in
American flags and flowers. Assem-
bIyman Dorner of Milwaukee braved
the storm to register protest TO the
proposition to give women the right
to vote The elderly gentleman from
the Cream city discussed love like
boy OF sixteen, and, with much elo-
Quence, he said that the ideal woman
was the one who cared most for her
home and was too busy caring for
children to pay attention to politics.
Wr. Dotner discussed delicate subjects
a trihe awkwardly, and his remarks
brought Kisses from some of the wo
men The kissing became so persis-
tent that Mr.. Dorner was unable TO
continue his speech. Speaker Ingram
took occasion to announce that mem
bers OF the legislature speaking in OPP
position to woman suffrage would
have to be treated courteously or the
meeting would be brought to a close.
The speaker was applauded by most
of the men and not a few Of the more
serious-minded women. The meeting
was a great success despite this unfor-
tunate incident, and, woman-like, the
promoters of 1t engaged in a quarrel
after it was over There seemed to be
considerable jealorEy as to whom was
to be given credit for arranging the
successful massmeeting. The result
of this misunderstanding among the
women was that Mary Swain Wagner,
one Of the leaders for woman suffrage,
was asked to discontinue as the lob
byist for that cause.

taking, as it would have been virtu-
ally impossible to land among them
without mishap in case anything went
wrong with the engine.
The idea came to Francis to herd
the drove from the field. Leaving
the hanger, he started to circle ar
ound the cattle at height of about
fifteen feet.
The strange vaquero of the air was
evidently a new spectacle for the cat
tie, for they at first appeared terror
stricken. They finally began to obey
the direction of the pilot of the ma
chine, however, and to come together
in a close bunch
Flying behind the herd after get
ting them punched, Francis soon had
them on the move down the field.
At the west end of the flat the
grass is always green because of a
marsh. Flying to the right of the
herd the aeroplane swung the cattle
across the marsh and into the green
section Of the field. Francis then
flew back to the center of the flat
and made a landing.

was saved when swarm of bees

assailants.
Schultz had several hives Of we'll

the attack, he said:
II began to make a noise that / al
ways use to call my bees. and they
began to swarm into the barn. One
lighted on the back of one robber and
he ran out Of the door yelling with
pain. Other bees followed him, and
some attacked the other robber. 1

tect my face from his blows when

went straight around the barn and
off toward the woods"

have surrounded the robbers failed

WAR PRESAGED BY SAINT.
Italians of Naples Accepted "SecOnd

Rome.-While rumors of war have
been disturbing Europe, the supersti-
tious Italian is convinced that a Eu-
ropean conflict is bound to come quite
soon. His reason is the Second Ii
quefaction of the blood of st. Janu-
arius," which is reported TO have ta-
ken place.
This miracle of the martyrs blood
(Which is preserved in dry state in
the Cathedral of Naples) ordinarily
occurs, or is supposed 10 occur. three
times year and was duly reported
on the expected date, a few days ago.
Next day. the priests in charge re-
ported a second liquefaction andf de-
clared that the blood on this occasion
took on a brighter hue. This was
accepted as presaglng a European
war, for ii is declared that a similar
omen was reported just before the
wars of 1850, 1866 and 1870.
