ADDRESSES HOME CHAPTER
 UPON EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
Mrs. Willis Austin Speaker at Kings
 Daughters Meeting.

The March meeting of Home chapter of The Kings Daughters held Monday afternoon at the Johnson Home called together 60 of the members. The business meeting was called to order by the leader Mrs. Louis O. Potter. A special sale collection was taken, amounting to over $10. It was voted to send S5 to constitute the Home chapter a charter member of the Golden Ruls Alliance, organized by home for blind children. Mrs. Balcom read Miss Crosby's poem, My Favorite Flower, and it was recommended that on March 20 her birthday, all the Daughters wear a purple violet
 At the close of the business meeting Mrs Willis Austin of Washington street gave an address to the chapter upon Equal Suffrage.
 The question of equal suffrage is a. question of the status of woman, she began. A country is judged by the place it gives to woman. In 1745 on this Green women taught twice as many hours as men for half as much pay. When women first entered the professions they met bitter opposition. $n the past woman was in the house, she had absolute control of food stuffs as all were manufactured under her eye. Now 8,0o0,OO women are out of the house, working shoulder to shoulder with men.
 We want to longer a man govern ment, nor yet a woman government, but human government. Where women have had voice in the laws it has been for the betternent of women and children. More girls are gTaduat- ing from the high schools than boys. Woman's suffrage. is the last step in the advance of the cause. In 1850 the first steps weer taken. In nine states the women have an equal voice in the government There has been equal suffrage for forty years in Wyoming only 16 states does a woman have an equol voice in the management of her childen. In answer to the question, How does the ballot work where wom- en have the ballot? a long list of bills passed and beneficent results was read. In closing she said: A political backing will be given women by the vote so that they will be listened to with respect by legislators.
 Applause showed the interest and Austin was given a rising vote of side of the question will be presented to the Home chapter.
 During the social hour supper was served, the new dishes being used which were purchased since the last meeting. These were the hostesses :: Mrs. Charles Warrington, Mrs. John Turner, Mrs, John Trankya. Mrs. Hen ry Woodward, Mrs. Russel Woodward Mrs. John Walker, Mrs. Sidney Will Hams, Mrs. E. E. Willis, Mrs. Peter Wilson, Mrs. Charles Standish, Mrs L. J. Saxton and Mrs. William Wood man.

GAVE SPIRIT MESSAGES.
May Pepper Vanderbilt Interested Large Audiences at Spiritual Aead . emy.

Two large audiences heard May Pepper Vanderbilt, the celebrated me dium, at the Spiritual Academy on Sunday and were well pleased that she came here. although as Rev. A. F. Blinn announced in the evening. she had done so only after trying to be excused from her engagement because of her poor health. In the circum- stance of her physical indisposition, he said, he had expectation that the manifestation of spirit control through Bright Eyes would be all the strong CT and he would be satisfied to leave it to the audience if it were not so. When the seance was over they were ready to agree with him.
 A spirit calling for Eva" was the first that came and Eva was quickly located in the audience She acknowl- edged that the piece of paper upon the table beside Mrs. VanderbiIe had been written in Bertie's home and the spirit sent the message that it wanted them to know that 1t was there when they said to each other: Let's write it, We don't believe in it any way"
 Who's Y-e-I-I-e-k?" inquired the medium, when the laughter occasioned by the last answer had died down, Pointing to a woman in a velvet hat with a long feather. Mrs. Vanderbilt asked her if she had a husband in spirit The woman said she had but his name woold be Kelley. This was the name that Mrs. Vanderbilt had seen but spelt backwards and she went on to give messages referring to things that the woman in the velvet hat said she recognized. Among other things the medium predicted that man wearing a long robe was soon to go out of life and that paper would be found that had been in 8 box that would bring an important change in the woman's material prosperity.
 All the while she had been giving this message, Mrs. Pepper said she had seen a spirit putting its hand on the shoulder of a woman with gray hair who sat in the middle of the audience and the hand had a big let ter s on the back of it. This woman received a message.

 One man who laughed was singled out by Mrs Vanderbilt. He'd laugh another way if I told him something, she said and in a minute more she told him that if he would look up some papers and names that could be found in his family he would not have to weigh sugar and coffee and tea all his life.
 While she was speaking of this she said that the spirit of l.. A.

little volume of rare interest has been added to the possessions of the state library in the privately printed de luxe edition of the Huntington Letters, sent to the state librarian with the compliments of Miss Julia Chester Wells, in whose possession are the original letters. There are the letters which passed between the Honorable Benjamin Huntington and his wife Anne, between the years 1761 and 1792; and also certain letters written by Rachel Huntington to her sisters Lucy and Anne, from 1796 to 179S There are few miscellaneous letters and papers included in the book.
 These letters are interesting be- cause they show glimpses of the life of an American family which bore its part in the struggles of more than g. century and a quarter ago. The let ters also have a local interest, some of them having been written from Windham. The first letter in the col lection is written by Anne Hunting ton, in 1761. When the correspond ence opens Anne Huntington is not yet married and is living with her mother at Windham, Connecticut. She writes to her aelder sister Hannah, wife of Gideon Tomlinson, of Strat- ford, an officer in the army. The epistle Is chiefly valuable as showing the wind in what was perhaps one type of the American Colonial woman of the time just before the Revolution ary war, and as expressing a certain turn of high thinking, though couch- ed in rather ancient syntax and usaNe of punctuation.
 Anne Huntington's letter, exactly as written, follows:
 Mention of the "Champaign." Dear Sister,

DISCOVERY COMES
 AFTER 5000 YEARS
Buffalo House Takes the Taste Out of
 Castor Oil.

Since the earliest days of medicine chemists have been trying to take the taste out of castor oil.
 The secret has at last been diScov- cred by Spencer Kellogg & Sons of Buffalo, who are among the largest producers and refinerS of vegetable oils in the world. They have removed the castor oil taste, and smell, too, purifying the oil and making 1t better and more effective. Nothing is added to it, nothing good taken out of it.
 KeIloggs Tasteless Castor Oil is tasteless in the true sense. Even cnil- dren take it easily, for all the nau- seating effect is removed.
 Sold now at all drug stores in 25o and soc sizes. Ask for Kellogg's Taste less Castor Oil by name, for there are several preparations of castor oil, mixed and favored, which are not tasteleSs and do not act as well.
 The public is protected by the trade mark, a green castor leaf, bearing the signature, Kellogg's.
 Made only by Spencer Kellogg & Sons, Inc, Buffalo. N. Y, oil rehners.
