FROM A MISSISSIPPI LADY.

FROM A MISSISSIPPI. LADY.
My Dear Mr.. Watson: Please find
enclosed P. o. money order for rs
for which send Watson's Magazine
and the jeff to my address. Accept
my congratulations on the way you
triumphantly came out of court at
your trial I never had a doubt Of
your doing so, but you had, and still
have a powerful combination against
you. Take care they don't get you,
for We can't spare you. We need
you to lead us, to speak for us, to
write for us, to say the words we
want to say but can't, to do things
we want to, and know ought to be
done, but don't know how. There
were many Israelites, but only one
Moses. 1 am with you, both hand
and heart, in your fight against the
coils of the serpent, Catholicism,
also in your defense of us wives, who
have always felt that the God who
made us, smiled on us as wives, and
on our children as legitimate chill
dren of holy wedIock, that He did
not froWn on us as prostitutes, and
our little ones as bastards, merely
because a Catholic priest did not per-
form the marriage ceremony. You
stood out like the man you are
against such an insinuation being
cast on us. We can't vote, we read
ing, thinking women of America,
and we don't want to. We have a
higher, deeper, broader way of help
ing our manhood along than getting
down in the mud, dragging through
the slime of politics. We have a
higher position, a God-given posi-
ton as far higher than "votes for
women" as heaven is from hell We
are wives and mothers, the compan-
ion of one man, the mother of his
children, the maker of his home, the
trainer of his sons and daugters, the
instillers of principles and ideals in
them, and him, too, for if we are a
woman Of the right kind, with
reasonable amount of brains, we
have great deal to do with what
he, the man the lord of creation, -
thinks, says, does. And, as for his
sons, we may mould them to almost
anything, if we go at it right. So,
although I can't say to you, Mr.. Wat
son, "if you ever want an office, I'll
vote for YOU but l can do better.
AS daughter, as older sister of four
brothers, as wife, and mother, in all
these relations, as woman who
does not want 1.-The vote for women"
can have some say so in politics,
and stay in my home. Isn't that as
big as voting, and who will say I
have not served my country, and my
time as we'll as if l had been a Mrs
Belmont, or a Mrs. Pankhurst?
| don't write the foregoing in any
spirit of wanting to be seen of men,
but to express my sentiments on the
subject of "votes for women"
] am thankful l am of 1.-The great
body Of the unwashed," 'the COM
mon people," "Old Man Peepul," as
you put it. My forefathers were all
common people, just human be-
ings who worked for a living and
tried to live honorably before God
and man. But as the men have been
honest, upright, God-fearing men,
and the women upright wives and
mothers, they have had neither time
nor inclination to howl for "votes
for women" for all of which l am

CHILDREN AND
PROTECTING WILD GEESE.


My Dear Friend: You are just
twenty years ahead of the thinkers,
if there be any, and it will stand
you in hand to live a long time if
you see the things you advocate en-
acted into laws. This is not new.
1t is the history of mankind in all
ages. George Washington was not
so sanity, nor did he ever claim to
be the Father of this country, and
he only reached that place after the
glamor of history made him so. 1
am still holding my own despite the
sUrging mass of reformers that
[ had thought to escape, but it is
hardly possible, when my friend Joe.
Akin has the bast field of reform
ing the birds of flight into carriers
of Interstate commerce, and l am
no longer allowed to modest this
proud and soaring bird of passage
between the States. What are we
coming to? Ignorance and suffering
everywhere, and reformers looking
after the hordes of Chinks, Japs, and
niggers across the ocean, and the
Hon. Joe looking after the wild
goose at the expense of the general
government. On the cotton farm in
the South and in the tobacco patch
in our section is a sight that ought
to call for the manhood and woman
hood Of this nation. Little ragged
white children bending their backs
to the mondays sun, honest ten
ants working early and late, and at
the end Of the year seeing their hard
earnings taken by the greedy cor
morants, why cry aloud and give
their hundreds to educate the peo-
pie OF Africa, Japan, and China, and
to pay Pullman car fare to the Hon.
Joe to race over the country to see
that the interstate wild goose is not
molested. I tell you it makes me
hot, under the collar. That was the
finest article I ever read: ''Is God
Such a Monster as This" 1t shows
how wild and delirious man bent
on making money out of the saliva
ton of the human family can get. I,
have that piece at my elbow and
whenever | get chance at the
average saint pull it and read it to
him and he has to take back water
and agree that the flood was not
sent, but that in the ordinary chan
nels of nature it came as does every
thing else.
Keep teaching your grandchildren
to ride, and now and then think of
how you at Ocala wrote the
very thing that has passed through
all manner Of ridicule and abuse, on
and on till it is the theory of the
statesmen of today. Keep up the
fusillade of truth even if it is away
in advance of the great army, and
blaze out the way for freedom of
thought, freedom of speech, and love
for that higher life away from the
love Of gold or political preferment.
I would love so much to see you
and your good wife once more, and
have a good old time talk of the
things that should be, and if I get
the opportunity will certainly avail
myself of it.
With the very kindest regards for
Mrs. Watson and Durham, and with
the best wishes for your. health and
success. Yours truly,
JOEL B. FORT.

TAX ABATEMENT
UNTIL AUGUST |
City Tax Collector Says He's Send
ing Out Notices as Matter
of Courtesy

Clerks in the officce of the City
Treasury are working overtime these
DAYS handling the rush of citizens VINO
are eager to take advantage OF the
l per cent. abatement on taxes
Up until two years ago July was
the time allowed upon which the l per
cent abatement was obtainable on city
taxes. Last year and this year, how
ever the time had been advanced one
month so that any citizen can have the
advantage of the abatement II ne
SQUARES his bill before August l. How
ever, a lot of folks still believe the
July time limit still holds and usually
there is quite a rush to the City Treas
ul.er's office at this time of year.
Some peope have complained at not
receiving their tax statements in sufn-
cient time before July l to take advan-
tage of the abatement provided the
July l date still held. In discussing
this to-day Captain O. NJ. Copelln, the
City Treasurer. said:
I'VE are not required TO send out
the city tax statements and we only
do it as a matter of courtesy. 1t hap
pened that this year we did not get
out as many as last year and II Is
POSSIBLE that some of the complaints
were from the folks who didn't get
theirs Yet To date l should say that
we have sent out from $500 to 5000
and we're sending them out still just
as fast as we can do so. However, for
TWO weeks we have advertised the fact
that the taxes are due. Furthermore,
] supposed it was generally known
that the l per cent. abatement holds
good until August l.

ing was made on the evening of May
is. 1886. Here the school remained
until the consolidation of the boys
high school and girls high school into
one institution in the new building
erected for high school purposes at
the corner of Forster and Capital
streets. This occurred September 4,
1898.
The large hall room of the Stevens
building. after the consolidation of
the high schools, was used. for time,
for the meetings of the board But
with the greatly reduced number of
members incident to the adoption of
the school code now in force, the
members returned to the boards orig

The hall, beautifully fitted up, is
now and has been for some years the
ornate and comfortable home of the
Harrisburg teachers training school,
Miss Anne U. Vert, principal.
The Harrisburg school board has
generally shown excellent judgment
in the selection of names for it's school
buildings and never was there a hap
pier choice than when this capacious
edifce in Chestnut street was named
after the Great Commoner" Thad-
deus Stevens the especial champion of
the grand public school system of our

Commission Rules
Regarding Rights
of Corporations

The petition of the Pennsylvania
Utilities company. which sought to
prevent the Lehigh Navigation Elec-
trio company from invading it's ter
ritory in certain parts of Monroe and
Northampton counties, was dismissed
to-day in an opinion handed down by
the Public Service Commission.
y The Lehigh Navigation Electric
company was chartered prior to the
passage of the act creating the COM
mission, and the opinion declares that
If an electric light company cannot
enter upon the territory in which it
has been granted power by the Leg
islature to exercise its franchises and
privileges, it can do nothing.
The opinion says that when a pub
lie service company. acting within
the rights granted by its charter, un-
dertakes to make a contract with a
municipality, the subject matter of
the contract is still within the con-
troll of the commission. This sub
stantially means that the respondent
company cannot be prevented from
entering the territory to which its
franchises apply and supplying indi-
viduals within that territory. but that
if it undertakes to supply municipal
ties il will have to obtain the consent
of the commission.

DOG LICENSES ARE
MUCH IN DEMAND
Activities Of Hound Catcher Bring
Many Owners to
Time

Being city dogcatcher isn't merely
an easy money-making job of kicking
someone elses dog around; the dog is
also having his day.
And where the dog itself doesn't
exact full satisfaction of the dog
catcher via teeth or legs It's a safe bet
that master or mistress will help make
life miserable for the weary official.
That Catcher William Fl. Layton is a
very busy young man these days goes
without saying; a glance at the rush
of business he provoked at the dog
license bureau speaks for itself. For
instance, yesterday SO licenses were
taken out, the biggest day ever. UP
until late hour this afternoon $50
dogs had been registered.
But for Mr.. Layton life is just one
collarless, vicious, swift-running. growl-
ing, elusive bedeviling dog after an
other. And lest he forget that he is
just a catcher of innocent, etc. dogs.
felix's whose dogs have been snapped
up and who accordingly don't think
much of the dogcatcher as a gentle
man and scholar express themselves
in various ways at police headquar-
ters. Colonel Joseph b. Hutchison,
chief of police, said to-day, however,
that all the complaints were without
foundation and that Layton was not
only doing his duty but doing it well.
Here, however, are few of the COM
plants:
The fellow hasn't any heart; he took
two unregistered dogs from a couple
of children.
The fellow is in cahoots with the
garbage collector-the latter purposely
allowing a gate to swing open after
his departure with garbage cans. thus
offering the dogcatcher chance to
tease an unsuspecting dog out into the
alley, where the hard-hearted official
can pick him up and load him into his
wagon.
Not that Mr.. Layton is complaining
His days work yesterday netted him
SIS.

Power to Act in Edward
Carson's Hand

Belfast, July 10.-The provisional
government" formed by the Ulster
Unionists at its first meeting to-day

Sir Edward Carson in a speech de-
clared that the time had come for the

government to make up its mind. Ul-
ster, he concluded, was anxious for
peace, but was not going to accept
peace with surrender.

Thomas would not consent to an ar

continued
"Then l shall request President Tener

question in my mind about the deal
being a valid one, and unless | hear
from Mr.. Thomas soon, shall take the
case up to the league directors. have
notified President Tener of my offer to
Mr. Thomas and likewise of my inten-
tions should Mr.. Thomas refuse"

Westinghouse Workers
Decide to End Strike

Pittsburgh, July 10. - Four thousand
striking employees of the Westinghouse
Companies, in a mass meeting at the
Tabernacle. last night. voted unani-
mously to return to work next Monday
morning. This practically proclaims
the end of the strike. and was directly

The strike leaders, in commenting on
the decision of the men to return to
work. said that it had been deemed ad-
visable for several days. because the
employees would receive more considera-

as individuals.
The strike. which has lasted more
