SUFFRAGE IN WYOMING.
Bishop Thomas Sees No Practical
Benefits From Women Voting In His
Rochester IN. " Correspondence
New York SUM-

DtAtes
Rochester IN. " Correspondence
New York SUM-
Bishop Nathaniel Seymour Thomas
of the Episcopal Diocese Of Wyoming,
who preached here today after return
Ing from the general convention at
New York City, said tonight that he
had serious doubts as to whether any
practical benefits had been obtained
from woman suffrage In his State.
You'll find the women generally
voting as their husbands or brothers
do" he said. and the effect is chiefly
a doubling of the number Of votes cast
without any change In the percentage
of plurality.
Il often question whether 1t is worth
while after all. Women have enough
care and worry in this world as II Is
without shonldering the added respon-
sibilities Of suffrage. They work q
good deal for the cause they believe
Is right. but when they vote they cast
the same ballot as their husbands or
brothers. Women always respect the
opinions of the men that are near and
dear to them. It's the same on both
sides of the fence and In the end there
is really little gained.
And do the women mingle in the
political squabbles?" he was asked.
oh, yes" he said. Their differ
ences are tie real ones. Women take
political accusations much more serl-
ously and hold the sting longer. This
does not apply SO much when they are
talking about one another. But ret a
woman say something Of another
woman's husband. brother or son and
that hurts. lis one of womans traits
to cherish any reflection On the men
she loves.
Il would not say" he concluded.
that the practice of woman's suffrage
should be continued"

 A REAL COLLISION
Car Hits Negro, Horse and Wagon But Negro Only Thought
 of His Fish.

''Whar's my fish?" were the first words of a negro giving his name as Will Haralson, who had just miracul-- ously escaped being ground to pieces by west bound East Sixth avenue street car at State street Haralson is a tenant on the Taylor plantation east of the city and was returning home after a days shopping in the city. He had just turned in to Sixth avenue from State street when his team was hit by the car.
 Horse, buggy and man were crumpled up in an unrecognizable mass and propelled about 30 feet by the car which was going at good gait when the collision occurred. The buggy was almost demolished, the horse sustained several deep gashes and the negro complained of his back. The front of the car was dam aged, the front windows being brok- en-
 Several eye-witnesses said it was miracle that the negro was not killed. Whether the fish alluded to in the first paragraph were ever recovered was not ascertained.

ELLIOT MAY DECLINE
 AMbASSADORSHIP
NO WORD HAS YET REACHED THE WHITE HOUSE FROM THE
 HARVARD HEAD.
Has Been Rendered the Post at LOn-
 dOn-Other Possibilities.

Washington, March 22.-If Charles w. Elliot, of Harvard. has written a letter to President Wilson declining the proffered appointment as Ambas- sador to Great Britain, it had not reached the White House at the close of business today. There is an inn pression at the White House that Dr. Elliot will decline this place but the president still clings to the hope that the distinguished educator may change his mind at the last moment and ac cept
 The declination of Dr. Elliot and the decision of National Chairman Nc Combs last night not to accept the French ambassadorship leaves two of the most important diplomatic posts in the gift of the president still open. With Dr. Elliot out of calculation, the names of William Church Os- borne, of New York, former Governor Francis of Missouri, and Thomas Nelson Page, the author, are again prominently mentioned in connection with the London embassy. Augustus Thomas, the New York playwright, is most talked of as successor to Gov ernor Herrick, now ambassador at Paris. The president has not reached any conclusion, however. He hoped up to the last moment that Dr. Elliot and MT. McCombs would accept.

Butchers are not generally credited with an especially sensitive tempera' menu, but New York has one member of the guild whose skin must be ex. traordinarily thin. At any rate, he goes to unusual lengths to exonerate himself from the charge of extortion. Above the cashiers window he has hang this sign:
 If prices are high don't blame me. They have hit me, too. Here is the meat bill of my. own family Read It." Then follows an itemized ac. count of the chops, steaks, roasts ard cats meat consumed by the butchers dependents in one week. The prices recorded are sufficiently altitudinous to appease the most disgruntleG GUS toners. and they settle their own buls with good 3race.
