that all men are born equal, it might just as we'll have read all mankind and as women we have the right to the protection of our rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Governments, she said, do not rest on force for we had force before we had government.
 The hearing YVES resumed on Thurs day, the Hall was filled but there was not such a crush as on the day before.
 Representative Seth D. Bingham of NHugatuck opened the discussion and was followed by Mrs. Elizabeth D. Bacon, President of the Hartford Woman Suffrage Association, who has repeatedly appeared before committees of the Connecticut Legislature in be- half of woman suffrage. Mrs. Bacon cited among other interesting observa- tions the fact that foreigner who could scarcely speak word of English had on some previous year been on the committee 10 decide on the vital ques- ton as to whether or not woman should be granted the ballot. She said she never felt more humiliated than when young man remarked to her "We have made some very good laws for women" but who forgot that the speaker had been working for the enfranchisement of women years be- fore he was born.
 Ms. Bacon was followed by Mrs Catherine Letz Stevenson, President of the w. C. T. U. of Massachusetts, who confined her remarks to her personal observations of the successful working of full parliamentary suffrage in Aus traia and New Zealand.
 The chief speakers for the Anti. Sutffagists were Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodge of New York, daughter of Ex. Governor Jewell, and Miss Alice Hill Chiltenden also of New York but ma. tive of Connecticut. Mrs. Dodge claimed that the majority of women in Hartford and Connecticut do not vet desire the ballot and that therefore it was not yet a practical question. In closing she asked the committee, many of whom come from small towns, to ascertain what the women in their communities really want.
 Df. Edward Beecher Hooker, Mrs. Hepourn and Miss Pierson summed up in a forcioIe manner the various arguments in favor of woman suffrage and ably met those of the anti.sutira- gists.
 The large audience-the largest, il was said, ever gathered in the Hall of Representatives, had an opportunity to hear full and logical exposition of the suffrage question on April 5th and 9th
 The members of the committee of which Senator MacNeil, Jr., was chair man were mostly young men and had evidently, as one of the Hartford pa. pers expressed it, especially 'plumed and groomed themselves for the occa. sion.
 Among the interested listeners I noticed several Windham County legislators.

Of God as he told in tender tones what the Lord had doae for hum. IL made such a deep impression on the Baptist people that they soon invited the eNanGeiisis to return and hold n series of meetings in the First Baptist church. They accepted and came to us Marcia 26. During this time about forty souls welded 10 the preaching of the gospel and gave themselves tothe saviour. The meetings were all per Naded with deep spirituality that seemed to fin the house of God, as for merly the heavenly cloud filed the temple of Jehovah. Men and women listened with that intense earnestness surcharged the very air of the sane tury and moistened it with the tear drops of the saints, and sinners felt the oeleSticsl power and turned to the Lord for pardon and forgiveness. Singer Paquettee, with sweet bary- tone voice, seemed 10 bring down the music of heaven to earth, and while the audience were delighted, they were once and again melted 10 tears as the melody Cf this voice lifted them toward the great white throne. He was ably assisted by Chorister Rich and his accumulated wife, the organ. list, and large chorus of young men and women.

KILLINGS ON RAILROADS.
Total for a Quarter was 2,94S a:
Shown by Commerce Board.

During the months Of July, Au'
gust and September last the number
of persons killed in train accidents
was 321, while 1892 were injured.
These facts are disclosed in bulle-
tin issued by the interstate commerce
commission, the first under the re-
vised accident law. It includes many
accidents not heretofore included In
bulletins.
The total number of casualties OF
all kinds for the quarter was 22,-
32s, or 2,49s killed and 1880 in
jured, on steam operated railways
The totals are largely increased over
corresponding periods in previous
years, because Of the inclusion o1
highway crossing accidents and those
to tresspassers on the tracks, etc
At the same time the totals of GER
tain classes of accidents to employees
are diminished by the exclusion OF
accidents. which are not peculiar to
railway operation. For the quarter
in question the total is 21, ,130-132
killed and 21,002 injured.
The accident statistics of those
electric lines on which interstate
traffic is carried show 146 persons
killed and 1910 injured.
