AMERICAN ROWDYIsM.

The indignities suffered by the suf- frngettes during their parade in Washington Monday at tile hands of drunken brawlers and rowdies has created much sympathy for them and their cause.
 If they had been resorting to the militant measures of the British suf- frssettes, destroying pruperty. threat ening the life of public officials and making trouble for the police their treatment in Washington might be dismissed with the thought that it served them right.
 But such has not been the case. The American women have made their plea with logical arguments and have never committed any acts that would influence any men to be- lieye that they were not still the ! weaker sex and entitled to deference and protection from insult.
 The argument may be advanced by extreme oppositionists that upon en- tering the political arena the women are subject to the assaults that may be made upon members of any polti- cal pariy. But that is a FOOT excuse and will not be accepted by any man who has the instincts wit hwhich the average American citizen is Blessed

 Brigadier General Bliss is now vis- ting the border camps and making suggestions as to the best places to hold the troops. The maintenance of a border patrol is but necessary since Consular dispatches from the cabinet of Sonora show that the revolt against the regime has assumed serious pro- portions and a reconciliation is prac- tically impossible. The consul at Du- rango informed the state department that Gen. AUbert, of the command of federal troops, has gone in search of the revolutionists and fight is i'm minent. Counsel dispatches from Hermosillo and Nogales show both places to be in state of excitement and the prospect of general fighting.
 The town of Savanna has already been taken and sacked by rebel ban dits, according to advices received here. A telegram received from Coun- sel Bohney states that the governor of these states of San Luis, Potosi, has been arrested charged with con- templated rebellion, in connection with the governor of Coahuila.

story from Cincinnati has reached

the apple growing section Of North
Georgia, and his chief claim Of ability
was that he knew he could pitch
baseball because he had practiced
throwing apples in his fathers or
chards. The application was turned
down by the Savannah Club.
"Rube" then wrote to Macon. HIS
application received better treatment
there, and a try-Out was secured. The
fellow from the country made good,
and that year Macon turned out a
championship team with "Rubs"
Benton as the principal contributor

made for the big countryman. Gin

timore Dane, who has been such a
persistent challenger Of the Logan
Square lad, wants TO stage the con-
test the night OF July at the Oriole
Ball Park there. He says the police
of Baltimore will not permit an alien
referee to be third man in the ring
because Billy Job, OF New York, al
most created a riot there some time
back by giving what they called an
outrageous decision IN favor OF Abe
Attell when the latter really was
beaten.
QUITE naturally enough Coulon
y does not intend to kiss his title
Williams and have his honors thrown
into the balance with a Williams
Baltimore referee acting as third man.
Coulon does not think everybody in
Baltimore would willfully give him
the worst of II and believes there
are honest men there-but he is not
taking any unnecessary chances of
possibly running into the other kind.
They are permitted to give decisions
in Baltimore and they think down
there that Williams can beat the
world. Looks very much to Coulon's
friends here as IL he would be talk
ing a chance.

feels that he would get a square deal
