be thoroughly aroused Their failure
to obtain favorable hearing in Al
bany and the hostile attitude of the
judiciary committee of the state legis-

of the enemy. so to speak. The wom-
en- have decided TO raise a campaign
fund of 100000 to be used in a fight
against the members of the legisla-
ture who are opposed to the woman's
suffrage cause

tiers of the women who are to con-
duct the campaign. The househoat will
travel up the river and wherever it
stops meetings will be arranged and
speeches delivered to arouse the wom-
en- and the men favoring womans sui

ing legislative elections throughout
the state and perhaps, to defeat the
opponents of woman's suffrage who
are candidates for the legislature.

Elective was sent out to investigate
the case and instead of arresting the
cobbler, as the woman demanded, he
made careful search in her apart

the diamonds hidden in the toe of a

On the same day man applied at
the surrogate's Office in Jersey City

twenty years ago. The book contain
