statues erected in honor of the dis
coverer. Even the English have done
honor to the navigator at Nassau in
the Bahama islands and at Trinidad;
and the people of Santo Domingo
have also raised splendid monu-
ments; while in Cuba, where. In the
cathedral at Havana, the bones OF
Columbus were so long inferred.
there are great many representa-
lions Of this historic figure. The
statue which is now placed In the
presidents palace, Havana, IS an ar
:tistic piece of work, but the most
striking efigy of all in Cuba Il Vail
mitjana's sculpture depicting Column
bus In chains. 1t Is to be regretted
that this beautiful work is only
clay model. The representation is
that of Columbus in his old age. He
is seated on coil of rope ON the
deck Of the ship which Is carrying
him to Spain. He reclines against q
capstan, his fettered hands held
before him. The artist has caught
a striking expression of resignation
combined with melancholy. The work
is masterpiece of sentiment and ex-
preston.
Another historical group Is that
which was presented by Empress Eu-
genie Of France to the Republic Of
Colombia II now stands at Cristo-
bal. the Canal Zone.
Throughout Latin America the ven
GRAFTON for Columbus is universal. and
we ind his memory honored in cities

The representations which we see
today Of Columbus can nearly all be
traced back to an engraving called
the Paulus Jovius cut, which was
made from painting that has been
lost
Even the lost painting was not an
original likeness, for 1t was painted
on what the lawyers would call
"hearsay evidence" But as it was
executed some time in the early
years Of the sixteenth century the
features may be taken as fairly cor
rect.

Latin America, too, was the area
over which his discoveries were ex.
tended, for 1t is a fact that he had
no knowledge of the existence Of the
vast continent to the north OF the
Caribbean sea and the West lnoia
islands. He had been to England
and at one time in despair had ap,
oiled to the court Of England to help
him In his great ambition, but his
experience and his fame were Latin.
Perhaps on this account the name
Of Columbus is Incorporated more
prominently in the nomenclature ol

not forgotten, on the continent that

however, the greatest compliment to
the memory of Columbus Is that inn

to the United States.
There can be no denying the fact
that the recognition of the great
achievement Of the admiral has been
tardy. 1t Is well known, however,

A So. Oak woman, after thirteen

Recently there has been an effort
among certain well-meaninE persons
to prevent divorced women from re-
suming their maiden names because
Of the deception that may be practice
ed. While it would be a difficult thing
to accomplish. 1t would be far better
to Provide a distinctive label for mar
ried men. The number Of married
men who lead young girls to believe
them unmarried is probably infinitely
greater than the number Of women
who practice similar receptions.
When a girl marries hastily she
takes a risk Of figuring in a bigamy
case. as we'll as facing poverty and
criminal associations. The girl who
does @ consult her parents about
her marriage may gamble away all
her future happiness for a passing
within.
1t is hard to synpathize with the
modern Lady of Lyons at Chicago.
She did not take the trouble to find
out whether or not her sutton was
what he REPRESENTED himself to be
Now she finds that he married her
under a false name and that he has
fled from her. and she probably Won
ders why it is that fate should have
picked her out for such a scurvy trick.
But fate has little to do with such
matters. They r regulated by the
ordinary laws OF discretion.

An INTERESTING EPOCH.

Whether women ought to have the
,allot or lot and whether or not they
want Il, the indications are that they
re going to get it. Perhaps some OF
he feminine population will feel that
hey are having greatness thrust upon
hem. Perhaps they will lot look with
favor upon the lady wardhealers who
pull the doorbell and tell them that 1t
is their duty to go down to the corner
and vote against Bill Smith or Sarah
Jones. The important thing, however,
is that the United States Is now erect
ing one of the tallest mile posts in its
history. and future generations will
look back upon the present victories
of women's suffrage with more inter-
est than will be given to any presiden-
tial election Of the present decade.
The National Woman Suffrage as
ISOLATION closed its annual session in
Philadelphia yesterday. 1t is signifi-
can't that Independence square, which
adjoins the hall whore the Declara-
ton of independence was signed, was
chosen by the women for the reading
of the declaration of rights adopted
at Seneca Falls in 184e. In Centennial
yea when the exposition was being
held in Philadelphia, a number Of
suffragists sought permission to read
the same document in Independence
square,. and the police declined to per-
NIT it. There was a feeling at that
time that the advocates of suffrage
were cranks. A great many persons
still think that women are unwise in
wanting the ballot, but few persons
now deny that they should have the
right to vote if they want to do SO.
and it. is generally recognized that a
large proportion of the suffragists are
sincere. able, and conscientious wom-
en-.
Times have certainly changed. The
few "cranks' Of former years have
now crown to a powerful political
organization. Instead Of everybody
jeering at the s%uffragettes the move
ment il considered seriously. One
presidential candidate at the last cleo
ton declared openly for women's suf-
frage. and neither Of the other W
leading candidates opposed 1t. They
held that 1t was a matter for the
states to decide. And nine II o ten
states have already given women the
right to vote. Whether for good or
evil, whether political conditions will
be improved or made more compli-
Gated, whether individual homes will
be injured or benefited. equal suffrage
has obtained its foothold in the Uni.
ted States. Perhaps within the next
ten years all the states will fall into
line.
