BIRTHDAY OF
 SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT

Seneca, Falls, N Y, although but the merest speck on the map Of the Elm pira State, may in time become 9 shrine for feminine pilgrims rom all over the world, for it was there that the woman suffrage movement was born. Sunday will mark the sixty sixth anniversary of the first womanss rights convention, which was held in the home of Henry Brewster Stan ton and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the village of Seneca Falls. The meet ing was called by Mrs Stanton, but her husband, an anti-sIavery lecturer and journalist and afterward editor of the New York Sum- was in full sym pathy with @tke movement Among the few present at the pioneer con- vention of the cause was Lucret1a Mott, who with her husband. James Mott, had been promtnent in the .abo- 1itionist movement. It Is noteworthy that practically all of the early ad-' vocates of suffrage in America were also abo1itionists. Matilda Joslyn Gage, who was closely azsociated in the wonaan's rights movement with Mrs. Stanton and Mrs. Mott, was the daughter of pr. Jos1yn, a leader in the anti slavery crusade and was her emancipation. Susan B.. Anthony was also a. fighter in the abolition ranks, as we'll as a pioneer suffrag1st. Nearly all of the e@rly slfEragists were here tics in religion, and for many years only a small proportion of the advo- cates of womaI1's rights were ortho- dox Christians, while among them there were many outright agnostics and freethinkers. Thomas Paine, the deist, was perhaps the earliest ad- ivocate of votes for women in Amer1- ca, while John Etnart Mill, the eel ebrated political economist and ra- ttonalistic philosopher, fathered the movement in England. Ingersol, Bradlaugh and other famous free thinkers were also among those prom inently identified with the early days of the suffragist cause
 Following the little convention in Seneca Falls, the votes for women crusade spread widely over America. and in 1850 a. national convention was held in Worcester, Mass In 1868 the Manchester National. Society for Women's Suffrage held the first convention of it's kind in England. In 1867 John Stuart Mill proposed a. bill giving women parliamentary suffrage in Great Britain, buteit was negatived by 196 against 73. In the United States, a suffrage petition for a feder- al amendment giving the vote to wo- men was introduced into both houses of Congress, but it was not until 1882 that the first favorable report on suffrage amendment was submitted by E. c. Lapham, chairman of the House co1nnittee on woman suffrage. When the fifteenth amendment was being discussed, Mrs Stanton, Miss Anthony and other suffragists sought to add the word sssex'' to the state ment that the right to the ballot must not be abridged Ion account of race, color, or previous condition of servf- tude." They failed in t11is movement but many women attempted to cast votes. on the. ground that the four teenth amendment, from which the word finale" had been omitted, estab- 1ished their citizenship. Mrs. Virginia Miner. of St. Louis. carried the case to the United States Supreme Court and that tribunal decided against bar in 1875

CENTENARY OF INVENTOR
 OF THE REVOLVER.

Not the least important of this years centenarfes is that Of Samuel Colt, whose name is inseparably associated with that type of small nrearm called the revolver. This Sunday will mark the Tooth anniversary of the birth of the inventor of that weapon which has been both blessing and curse to humanity, since it has armed the crfm- inal and the assassin as well as officers of the law and other honest men. Re- volvers in the hands of anarchists and fanatics have carried death to many rulers, including Francis Fer dinand, heir to the Austrian throne, and his wife. r
 Samuel Colt was born on July 1s 1914. in Hartford, Conn, the son of At ten he left school to enter his fath- CTS factory and at fourteen he ran away to sea and made a voyage to India. It was on this long trip in a sailing vessel that he conceived the idea of the revolver, and made a model of wood. On his return he studied chemistry and travelled over the states and Canada Iecturinf on that science. He was a fluent and entertaining speaker, and thN profits from two years on the lecture platform provided him with money to continue his inventive work In 1885 he visited Europe and patented his revolver in London and Paris. and on his return secured Amer ican rights and organized the Patent Arms company. His first crude re- volver did not meet with popular ap- proyal. and his company failed. Colt 8 first real success was achieved during l the war with Mexico, when Gen. Tay- Tor, after a thorough test, ordered a l thousand of the new weapons The government order was executed in an armory at New Haven. The general demand for the improved revolvers soon necessitated a large factory, and tfis was built in Hartford, the inven- tors native city. Orders were soon received from the English and Russian governments, for weapons which were
 used in the Crimean war, and Colt s success was assured He died in Hartford in 1882, and left a large for tune

CLERGYMEN AND
 LONGEVITY.

Although it is proverbially stated that the good die young, this theory seems to be disproved by the fact that clergymeps as a. class. are exceptioH< ally. long-lived. While one person only of each hundred born lives to be sixty five, ministers who have passed that age are numerous. One of the most remarkable examples of clerical longevity is cited in a recent dispatch from Topeka, Kan, which states that the Rev. M. A Cox a Methodist min ister Of Almenas will pass his Hath milestone on Sunday, having been born on July 1e. 1902. The vener- able clergyman is described as still retaining his force as a preacher, and as able to hitch up his team and drive to church each Sunday. The clergyman is the father of eight liv- ing children, and three of his off, spring are dead. He is the grand father of forty-f1ve and the great grandfather Of twenty-nine childre6, and a. few. months ago he becamS a great-grandfather when one of his great grand -dauaghters, residing in Portland, Ore, became the mother of a girl.

GATUN RESOURCES AMPLE FOR EVERY
 LOCKAGE DEMAND

Washington, July 1s-Resources of Gatun Lake, the wonderful artificial reservoir which is the main depend enees of Panama for its water supply, have proven ample to meet an possi- ble demands, after the most severe practical test. Although the amount of water which ran into the lake dur ing the last dry season-JanuAry to April inclusfve-was less than in any similar period for the past p years, being only 61 per cent. of the normal collection, the lake was maintained at it's proper elevation throughout the period.
 The dry season afcorded the first opportunity engineers ha& to deterrn- inc the amount of evaporation from the surface Of the lake at It's full depth. The figures showed that there was still Auf1cient water at the end of the dry season to have kept the lake level at 79 feet above sea level, which would have given S9 feet of water in Cu1ebra Cut, or about 10 feet more than the draft of the biggest battle ship
 At the end of the present rainy sea son, Gatun Lake will be ST feet above sea level and, allowing for the known evaporation leakage and seepage, this would be ample for Al passages daily through the locks, using them at full length, or about 5S lockages day when partial length is used, as gener- ally would be the case. This is a larger number of 1ockages than would be possible in a single day. Even in the great SauIt Ste Marie canal, the lockages last year averaged 41.7 while the Suez canal reported only 12 per day.
 This assurance of an ample water supply to meet all possible, contingen- cies, including the heavy drafts for power purposes, affords great satisfac- ton to Panama Canal engineers, es- peciaI1y in view of doubts expressed in foreign countries as to the success ful operation Of the canal. in the dry season.

OVER 5000 ATTEND
 JEWISH WEDDING
 IN AUSTRIAN TOWN

Vienna, July 1S.-A. wedding Whesa guests numbered over 5000 persons and whose feasting continued for 8 days was celebrated recently al aa ldagoraI in .Bukowina, one of those re- mote coutry districts of Austrta-Hun- gary where mammoth wedding festiy- ities on a scale utterly unknown in America or Western Europe are the rule.
 The affair at sadagora exceeded In magnificence and lavish hospitality any function on record in that district, however. It was a Hebrew wedding. Sadagora enjoys a certain fame in Eastern Europe as the seat of the re- nowned RabbinicaI dynasty known as the Miracle Rabbis. The bride was the daughter of the Grand Rabbi Of this line, Aron F'riedmann, arid the groom, Salamon Friedmann, belongs to a branch of the same Rabbinical dynasty at Czortkow. The marriage was arranged by the chiefs of,the two families, entirely without the knowl-- edge of the young people. In fact, they met for the first time only the ev- ening before the wedding at a preIfn- mary feast, when they danced togeth- CT as a sign of their willingness to marry.
 The chiefs had taken it for granted that there would be no hitch in their plans and had invited the RabbinicaI families of all the Orthodox Jews in Russia, Poland, ROumanda, GaIacia and Hungary. They came down on Sadagora in thousands Many were of imposing stature and patriarcLial dignity. They wore black silk. caf- tans, low shoes and white stockings, while their ladies were attired in sort of crinoline and adorned with rich Jewels There were some dress ed in the latest modes of Paris and vi- emma.
 The ceremony took place in the gar dens of the Grand Rabbfss palace, guarded by n1ouonted troops. Thou sands were unable to hear or see what was going on, so dense was the throng, but all had a. hand in the feasting which followed. During the eight days the comnnissary's books account ed for 200 pounds of fish, 500 head of poultry 25o pounds of beef, 5000 IDS. of bread and many casks of wine The Grand Rabbi was out of pocket to the extent of at least $40,O00.
 Tn additionsto this he presented the bridal couple with a, palace in Sada- gora, completely furnished and equip ped with a staff of servants. He will meet the entire cost of the household for a. period of six years. when it is assumed that the young bridegroom will have attained a position where he can support his family himself
