CROWD IS SYMPATHETIC

Mrs. Hepburn, president of the
Equal Suffrage league Of Hartford
Conn; DR.. John Roach Straton, OF
Baltimore; Howard Colvin, secretary
OF the Virginia Federation of Labor:
Rev. j. J. Wicker. OF Leigh-Street
Baptist church; Miss Marie Leahy
Mrs c. v. Meredith, and Mrs. b. B.
Valentine, of Richmond, held the at
tention of a responsive and SYM
pathetic crowd on tAe grounds of the
State fair on Richmond day.
Industrial and moral conditions, and
the need of woman's vote to better
them were the themes OF all Of the
speakers.
wild oats men have sown," declared
Mrs Hepburn, and women are be-
ginning to realize this and are de-
handing the power to make the world
fit for their boys and girls. Never In
the history of the world have the

the vote.
Women Champions of Reform.
That women are championing all
humane legislation along industrial
and moral lines is the reason for the
federation OF labor's believing in wo-
man suffrage. said Mr.. Colvin. He
cited the fact that William Jennings
Bryan. Champ Clark, and other
political leaders are declaring for
woman suffrage as a sign that in the
next party conventions, both the
/ Democrats and Republicans would
embody woman suffrage plank.

/ DR.. Wicker's speech ELECTED much
enthusiasm when he asked. What
about women being soldiers?" DIR
Wicker said: There are some things

The need OF compulsory education
in Virginia was the keynote of Mrs
Valentines speech. and the fact tina
it existed in the woman suffrage
States was emphasized by her.
Miss Leahy's address was in tn,
nature of prophecy. The emo
bling effect Of womans ideals in poll
ties, and an appeal to the men o.
Virginia to give women the power Il
aid the State made eloquent Mis-:
Leahys argument. The crowd wa:

God bless herl The dear sweet
woman! Such women as she is, and
my mother was-so humble and low
ing, so guileless and pure, never say
ing an unkind word or thinking an
unkind thought-are the flowers Of
the world that make the earth smell
sweet.
When she was gone and I remem
bered the promise l had made to her
| asked myself what was to become
of me. If l could neither divorce
my husband under any circumstances
without breaking a sacrament Of the
Church, nor love Martin and be loved
by him without breaking the heart
of his mother where was I?
l intended to go home the following
morning; l was to meet Martin the
following night. What was to say?

While | was speaking Father Dan

at his shabby cassock, and IS soon as
| had finished he flashed out on me
with an anger I had never seen in his
face or heard in his voice before.

Martin Conrad"
I was so startled by this that was
beginning to ask how he knew, when
he cried:

It's young Martin, isn't it?'
Yes"
The wretch, the rascal, the scoun-
Grel! II he ever dares to come to this
house again. I'll slam the door in his
face"
I knew he loved Martin almost as
much as ! did. so ! paid no heed to
the names he was calling him, but |
tried to say that l alone had been to
blame, and that Martin had done
nothing.
Don't tell me he has done nothing"
cried Father Dan. 81 know what he
has done. He has told you he loves
you, hasn't he?"

He has been colloguing with you,

I explained that my husband had
invited him, being prompted to do so
by the other woman.

white as a ghost, and as thin as
shadder, and no wonder, neither, for
he didn't eat enough to keep body and
soul together.
Yesterday itself she had cooked him
a chicken as good as l could get at
the Big House; done to a turn, too,
with a nice bit of Irish bacon on top,
and a bowl of praties billed in their
jackets and a basin of beautiful new
butter milk" but no, never taste

IT'S just timpting Providence his
reverence is, and it'll be glory to God
if you'll tell him So
Whats that you're saying about

Father Dan from the upper landing.
I'm saying you're destroying your
self with your fasting and praying
and your midnight calls at mountain
cabins, and never a ha-porth of any
thing in your stomach to do it on"
p whist, then, Mrs Cassidy, it's tay-

and bring up two of your best china
cups and saucers and a nice piece of
buttered toast, not forgetting a Thin
bleful Of something neat, and then it's

housekeeper had not been wrong, and
that he looked worn and troubled.

wood fire, ] would have begun on my
errand, but not a word would he hear
until the tea had come up and had
taken a cup Of it.
Then, stirring the peats for light as

evening was closing in, he said:
