A Chilly Reception.

GKansas City Journal9
1t now appears that with all OF the
free advertising which heralded her
sensational entrance into the United
States Mrs. Pankhurst is proving a
grievous disappointment as paying
attraction. She has failed signal1y to-
draw the crowds expected, even in
New York, where anything out of
the ordinary may usually, be counted
on to fatten the box Office exchequer.
The big initial meeting so long In
preparation in Madison Square Gar
den proved to be a frost. There wasn't
enough money in the box to pay the
hall rent and to give Mrs. Pankhurst
her guarantee" So wealthy patrons
of the cause had to go down into their
pockets and hand the Englishwoman
1880 as a gift. The measure OF her
disappointment may be gagged Dy the
care with which her representatives
insisted upon the preliminary arrange
ment, in which it was set forth anu
stipulated that Mrs. Pankhurust was
to get $1,000 as a retainer with ~ per
cent. of the money on all admissions
over 10000 and so per cent. on all over
that. This inauspiciOus beginning
has had the effect of dampening the
ardor of those in other American cities
who had volunteered as sponsors for
the British window smasher.
IN the hope of bolstering up public
interest, Mrs. Pankhurst has been IN
dustriously giving out interviews anu
seeking publicity. But the plain tact
must now be faced that the American
people are not keen to hear her or pa
tronize her performances. INQUIRY
among the Kansas City Suffragists
has ELECTED the information that tney
are divided as to the advisability OF
irving to bring Mrs. Pankhurst here.
The fact that the notorious woman Is
SO insistent about the money END OIL
the enterprise is discouraging. II was
assumed that she had come to Amer
ica as the unselfish prophet of a great
cause and that money was merely In
cidental. But money, 1t seems, Is all
important; SO important, in fact, that
IL il Is not forthcoming the militant
suffragette will not talk. As she val

a high figure. and in view OF the aus
astrous results of her exploitation "a

be invited to fill half of her anticipat-
ed engag ements.
ON the whole this attitude of the
public is distinctly encouraging from
the standpoint OF the suffrage move
ment in the United states. Mrs. Pank-
hurst repreeents nothing that can
make rational appeal to sober men
and women on this side Of the water:
There is no occasion for her kind OF
warfare here and our people have Mt

it cannot go on. The states are not

Calais is much interested In the
fact that st. Stephen is booked for a
building boom. on account of the new
shoe factory which is nearing COM
pletion over there. One out of town
concern has bought land and arranged
for the erection of 20 dwelling houses
of modern type. In, addition to this,
an automobile garage Is in course of
construction and other projects are in
contemplation. st. Stephen has always
been rather short on desirable tene-
ments and many who would like to
live within the borders of that town
have been obliged to seek elsewhere
for tenements. It is expected that the
shoe factory will be in operation be-
fore the close of the present year and
the prospects for the success OF the
enterprise are bright
But Calais is more interested in the
report that when the winter schedule
of the Eastern Steamship corporation
goes into effect that the river steam
er ST. Andrews will be withdrawn
from service between Calais and East
port and freight and passengers for
Calais carried from PASSPORT by rail.
This cutting off of Calais from water
service between down river points is
not relished by the business men and
a petition is being circulated and Will
later be presented to the steamship Of
ficials. asking that the service be con-
tinued by boat during the winter
months. While the business does not
warrant the establishment of an elab-
crate service. the people of Calais DO
not take kindly tn the proposed aban-
donment during the winter, and nope
that the management of the corpora
, ton will decide to run at least one
, boat a week from PASSPORT.

1.-THE husking was in the barn where
the great pile of corn greeted the guests,
and the stripping of the ears was attend

ring. 1t was the anticipation of finding
a red ear that made the stripping the
more exciting, but they were so few and
so far between that one was not listed
