ALETHEIA'S NEW THOUGHT.
Says Maryland Which is Named for a
Woman Should Give Woman the
Vote Senator Non Plussed
What the State Owes
Woman.


Maryland, My MARYLAND of all
other states. should give woman the
vote, so says Aletheia, the Sibyl of
Delphi. the oracle of the East. the
! psychic marvel. who has been giving
wonderful demonstrations of her DOW
ers in mind reading. thought trans
! mission and the possibilities of mental
telepathy at the Colonial Theatre this
week
Every night there has been some
| demonstration more and more con-
vincing. but on Wednesday night
there was something said by this
| fascinating woman that struck home
| to Maryland. Without the assist
ance of Aleko, her Greek husband,
| Aletheia said there was a Senator sit
| ting in a box. She could not get his
name; he was not thinking his name,
but she described him accurately even
| to his mustache. She said: Senator
| you are asking the question will this
| State ever give women the right to
vote. -
Continuing, she said in part: why,
Senator, the very State that mothers
you is named for woman Mary
land (named for Queen Henrietta
Maria, wife of Charles ID You owe
at least two-thirds of your existence
to woman. She began to LAY down
the law to you when you were only
few weeks old, kand one woman or
another has been laying down the law
to you ever since. Why not acquiesce
gracefully and be leader in good
cause Equal Suffrage .
She said Equal Suffrage will soon
be universal and continuing to ad-
dress the Senator. said: Don't let
your State be dragged in with, the
tail of the cart. Aletheia, when
addressed by a.Capital representative
on the question of equal suffrage, de-
clared her belief in it's Justice, and
said so long as men and women are in
partnership women are quite will
ing to take Just their share of gov
ernmental affairs. But when she is
too strongly opposed, woman will as
sumo her rights and become tyran-
nical. Nine. Aletheia also declared
that the world is verging toward
universal suffrage, and when this
comes there will be universal peace.
She said woman was meant to be
recognized. We speak of "Mother
Earth" not Father Earth" Moth
ers have left their imprint on sons aud
their influence. Every great mans
greatness is tracesble to his mother or
his wife, or both. We always hear of
good mother of the presidents we
never hear of godfather influ-
ence.
If the mother is good and the
father bad, her influence counteracts
the fathers We hear of Washing
tons mother, Lincoln's mother, Nc
| Kinley's mother, not of their father.
| History lauds the mother of the
Gracci. but is silent on the father.
Woman is mans loadstone. He may
fly off at a tangent, and go ever so
| far astray, but he can be pulled back
by the right sort of woman. her in
fuence over him is immeasurable, un-
limitabe.
Why not, said Aletheia, give Mary
land women the vote when their very
State is woman's State? II be-
lieve it is coming, but how soon, / can
not tell"
"Aletheia" means truth; it is the
Greek word for truth, and this fas-
cinating woman is the embodiment
of what her name implies. She is
woman of education and culture, and
is of good birth She is the great
niece of John Hancock, one of the
| Signers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, and is nearly related to the
Coopers of Kentucky and is a direct
defendant of Sir Anthony Cooper the
first Earl of Argyle. She has al
ways been engaged in literary work,
and is the author of several books aud
was at one time engaged in newspaper
work.
| Aletheia is a woman of pleasing
personality and magnetism. and her
culture and refinement at once appeal
to others as we'll as her gifted at
tainments. She and Aleko are far
above the average psychic mediums"
so called, and their line of work is in
higher class.
