Glasgow, Scotland Dec, 6.-Mili-
tant suffragettes today began tai
ing their revenge for the arrest of
Mrs. Emeline Pankhurst. Kelly
House, an untenanted mansion, at
Wemyss, on the Firth of Clyde, was
Quilted by fire with 100000 loss.
Kelly House was one OF the finest
buildings on the banks of the Clyde.
Upon the great lawn number of
cards, bearing suffrafre inscriptions,
were scattered One of them said:
mo peace or truce until Mrs.
Pankhurst is free"
Mrs. Fankhurst is IN the jail at
Exeter.
Mrs. Dacre-Fox. describing the
arrest of Mrs. Pankhurst, said that
when the suffragist motor boat at
tempted to follow the police boat
at Plymouth two battleships were
drawn up in front to defend the
chief constable and his officers from
handful of suffragists.
The women believe the govern
ment will speedily transfer Mrs.
Pankhurst to Holloway Jail in Lon
don. Lack of police protection to
block the campaign they plan at
Exeter and lack of experience OF
the Jail keepers and doctors In
handling hunger strikes, they say
will necessitate the transfer.
AS Mrs. Pankhurst was much
strengthened by her four months
freedom, the women presume she
has begun a new hunger strike al
ready. The Exeter jailers, how.
ever, permit no ntys to leak out.

ANOTHER CHARGE
AGAINST WOMEN.

Mrs. Julian Heath, president of the
National Housewives League, at a
meeting in the rooms of the Cham
Der of Commerce under the auspices
of the Washington Housekeepers'
Alliance, among other things said:
"The practical solution of the high
cost of living lies with the house
wife. Injudicious expenditure of mon
cy and lack of knowledge of market
prices have more to do with the pre-
sent high cost of living than the tariff
or any one other economic condition.
at is not sufficient for a woman to
be a shrewd manager; she must pro-
tcot herself against dishonest deal
ers, False weights are an important
factor in the high cost Of living. Three
quarters Of the income of the middle
class and nine-tenths of the income
of The lower class is spent by the wo-
men, and yet there has been no snort
to make them efficient in the handling
of money OF the purchase of SUPPLIES"
The troubles of the world have besn
laid at the door of woman since Pan
dora's curiosity brought woe into the
world, and now she is charged by one
of her own sex with being responsible
for the soaring of prices of the nee
essities of life. We need not be sur
prised should some cold-blooded men,
Der of the race place the blame OF tha
Omaha cyclone and the food in the
Mississippi Valley at her door.
The charge alluded to above seems
the most bascless we ever heard OIL.
A thoughtful housewife starts out TO
replenish her larder and finds that Da-
con. beef, veal and other meats are
twice as high as they were score Oh
wears ago, and are almost beyond she
reach of the great majority. Butter Is
also at the high water mark, as well
as nearly every other article entering
into menu. How she can help such
conditions is hard to understand.
While there may be some thought
less women who do not realize the
value of a dollar, the great mass CT
housewives are more careful than
men in their expenditures. In fact
thew act as a check wheel upon the
prodigal spirit of their liege lords.
