meat diet was responsible for his
death, which occurred in Philadelphia
in 1884.
Anthony Benezet was born at ST.
Quentin, France, Jan. 81 1713, of a
wealthy and noble Protestant family
After the revocation of the edict of
Nantes his parents, to escape perse-
cution, fed to England. In London
the family affiliated with the Quak-
ers, and, when Anthony was eighteen,
removed to America, settling in Phila-
de1phia. The young man was p1ac-
ed in a counting house, but soon left
it. because as he explained, "con-
merce offers too many temptations to
a worldly spirit He was then APP
prenticed to a cooper, and at twenty
nine became an instructor in the
ker City. The instruction of youth
strongly appealed to him, and to it he
devoted the best years of his life.
Benezet was among the first to adj
vocate the abolition of the slave trade,
and the emancipation and education
of the negroes. He opened an even
Ing school for the colored youth of
Philadelphia. Forcefu1 and fervid
tracts directed against slavery were
circulated by him all over America.
He personally urged the rulers of Eng
land and Portugal to use their inf1u-
cans. The American Indians also
found Benezet their friend, and many
measures for the betterment of their
condition We're adopted 1.-THE instiga-
ton of the F'renchman. During the
campaigns of Frederick the Great, he
appea1edsto that monarch to put an
end to the war.
Benezet's sympathy with everything
capable of suffering pain led him, in
his latter years, to abstain from ami
NAL food, and to urge the adoption of
vegetarian diet. The doctors al1eg-
ed that this course was response BILE
for the disease that soon proved ia
tai. The last two years of BenezGt's
life were devoted almost wholly to the
instruction of the blacks, and, after
the death of his widow. his entire es-
tate went to the support of a school
for the education of negro children. .
In Benezet's writings are to be
found many gems, one of which reads:

bear with the unreasonableness of
mankind

South NorwaIk, which has made a
great success of municipal ownership
and control of an electric lighting
plant and public water works, now
contemplates going a step farther to
establish a municipal coal yard and
municipal ice plant. Having shaved
the prices of lights and provided bet
ter ones, it is natural that the people
who found the municipal ownership
plan working well in that particular
should seek to usue it as a means for
cutting the high prices of coal and
ice. And after that, perhaps there
will be a trial of municipal market

Washington, Dec. 5.-Suffragists

Their success came in the annual
convention and their ballots covered

was nothing stronger than tea around
the polling place. Even the "heelers'

there was no opposition to DR.. Anna
