WOMEN FAST FOR VOTES.

New York. Aug. 15.-To aid the sur
fragists of California in their battle
for the ballot, thousands of New York
women today began fast" to con-
tinue for a week, during which period
they are pledged to eat only the nee
essaries of life" to renounce the soda
fountain and all its works. to abstain
from CONNECTIONS and other little lux
uries dear to the feminine tum-tum,
and to abiure theaters, roof gardens
and other sources of unnecessary eX-
pense. The money thus saved is to
be turned into fund to be expended
in hammering some sense about the
equal rights question into the heads
of the masculine voters of the Golden
State. The question whether or not
women are to be given the ballot in
California will be decided on October
10. 1t is expected that thousands of
dollars will be added to the war chests
of the Western suffrage campaign
committee by reason of the fast Of
the metropolitan devotees of the
cause

KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 15.-To adopt
a platform of principles on which the
state ticket will make the fight for
election, a democratic state conven-
ton was held here today with l22O
delegates in attendance. The nomi-
nees of the party We're chosen in
state primary held last month, James
B. McCreary heading the ticket as can
didate for governor. He is opposed by
Judge E. C. O'Rear as the republican
aspirant to the governorship. The
campaign promises to be highly eX-
citing, as Kentucky is now perhaps
the closest state in the Union, due TO
the great influx of people from the
East, majority of whom are repub-
licans.
The republicans are now in control
of the state, having elected Governor
Wilson in the landslide of four years
ago. big" Ollie James, congressman
from the First district, is the demo-
cratic candidate for United States SEN
ator. The democrats have so many
followers in the legislature that his
election is practically certain.

BACK FROM EPWoRTH.

The visitors to the state Epworth
encampment at Corpus Christi, whose
names We're published in The Eagle
at the time they went away, returned
home today. They had their private
sleeper and baggage car attached to
the regular passenger train which ar
rived over the Houston & Texas Cen
trail at 12:37 p. m. They are all in fine
health, and report splendid time.
Bryan always sends fine delegation
to the encampment, and the crowd
that went this year fully sustained the
reputation made in former years. The
Bryan crowd at Epworth never fail to
let the whole state know that there Is
such a place as Bryan.

war on EXPRESS COMPANIES

Chicago, Aug. ia movement that
is expected to spread over the entire
nation, having as its object the reduc
ton of express rates and the eventual
abolition of express companies, will
probably be instituted by the Ameri
can Association of Railway Commits
sioners, the subcommittee of which
met here today to complete the re
port of its inquiry into the express
business. The association consists OF
the railroad commissioners OF all the
states and is powerful and influen-
tial body. II is expected that the re-
port of the committee will be practic-
ally finished during the meeting CON-
menced today and will be in readiness
to present to the meeting of the gen.
eral association to be held in Washing
ton in October.
A majority of the members of the
committee favor the entire abolition
of the express companies as useless
middlemen and as "barnacles and par
asites on the commerce of the nation"
Congress will probably be asked at its
next session to enact immediate legis-
lation to govern the express business.
Three plans will be suggested for
adoption. Regulation of express rates
by the interstate commerce commits
sion; acquisition and operation of ex-
press companies by the government;
or the establishment of government
parcels post which would, If made
broad enough, put the express COM
panies out of business. Government
ownership, most of the committee
members agree, is the least satisfac-
tory of the three plans proposed
1t is pointed out by the investiga-
tors that one express company is cap
italized at $1,000,000 and represents an
original investment of $71,2S0. Last
year its gross receipts were $2,134.435
and net profits nearly 100000.
Z 1t has developed that any attempt
to bring about a general slash of ex-
press rates will be fought by the rail-
roads. The attitude of the railways in
the matter has long been problematic,
but now that the question is nearing
an issue, the men behind the railroads
are showing their hands. Representa-
tives of a number of important lines
have announced that they will protest
vigorously against the express rate
cut. and it is believed that they re-
fleet the sentiment of railroad officials
the country over.

Dance Under Church Auspices.

Spokane, Wash, Aug. l5.-lnvita-
tions to dance under church auspices
on church property have been extend
ed to every family in st. Francis
Xavier parish, Spokane, by Rev Father
J. Rebmann, pastor, the affair taking
place in the parochial school tomorrow
evening. The priest, who announced
the dance from the pulpit at the Sun
day services, urged the pari ;hioners
to attend, promising all good time.
Officers and members of the Ladies'
Altar Society will be the hosts. Father
Rebmann thinks the dance is harm
less with proper association and SUI
pervision, but he is opposed to public
dances, saying that the evil is not in
the dance itself but in the abuse of it.

parts of Washington, Oregon. Idaho

from 80 to 60 bushels. 1t is predicted

Those who are anxious to get Mr..
Bryan out of politics ever and anon
start the report that he has decided
TO go to preaching. Mr.. Bryan, like
many others who have no thought of
entering the ministry, breaches lay
sermons occasionally, and these are
so good that his friends who are de-
voted to the interests of the church
Join with those who wish to destroy
his political influence in the effort to
make a preacher of him. Put Mr..
Bryan very emphatically affirms that
he will never quit politics while he

A renewal of the agitation for uni
form divorce laws for the whole Unit
ed States has resulted from the storm
of protests against the marriage of
Col. John Jacob Aston, middle-aged
millionaire who was divorced by his
wife on the ground of his immortality,
to Miss Madeline Force, an eighteen
year-old girl. While the democrats
deny the right Of congress to pass a
federal divorce law, some of them are
willing to appoint commission with
the object of inducing the states to
join in plan for uniform law on
the subject.

When wire screens first came into
use they were an effective barrier to
mosquitoes. but for this purpose they
are becoming less reliable. The rea-
son, according to some Chicago scien-
lists. is that the use of the screens
has developed smaller species of
mosquitoes that can go through the
meshes. 1t is even claimed by some
that the common species of mosquito
has grown smaller to adapt itself to
the changed environment. u
