thinking herself already in the dis

and hoping to find some one who
could direct her to the firm of Fox

She had inherited much of the old
cutters independence. How much
better if she could find work and sup
port herself without calling on him
for aid!
Elsie saw a sign Employment

were sitting against the wall in

were looking them over. One white

aside.

WASHINGTON, July 81.
Senator James E. MARITIME, of New
Jersey, is against woman suffrage
The senior New Jersey senator an
nounced this afternoon to the dels-
gates from that State who presented
to him petitions for the passage OF
the suffrage resolution now before the
Senate, that he would be glad to pre-
sent their petitions, but would vote
against the resolution.
Il do not think" said Senator Mar
tine, that suffrage will tend to add
to the dignity or welfare of women"
The senator added that he thought
there was very strong sentiment
against suffrage on the part of New
Jersey women.
Those in the delegation which pre-
scented the New Jersey petitions were
Mr.. and Mrs. Champlain Reilly and
Mrs. E. F. Feickert, of Plainfield, and
Miss Helen Lippincott, of Riverton.
1t had been planned by the Jersey
delegates to give half of the stole
petitions to Senator MARITIME and half
to Senator William Hughes. When
the delegates went to the marble
room of the Senate, however, Senator
Hughes was not on the floor and Sen
ator MARITIME accepted all the petit
tions which contain more than five
thousand names of New Jersey men
In favor of suffrage.
Senator Hughes has never commit
ted himself of the suffrage question,

leaped for the bride, but missed.
The horse kept on in its flight and

Cost when he started to run after
the wagon. After a run of a block
he caught hold of the tailboard and
drew himself up, but the pitching
