Suffrage Notes

The Equal Suffrage League observed
Saturday, August 18th, in a fitting
manner, by holding q mass meeting on
Steele avenue in front of the p~ostofice,
in the evening.
An automobile decorated with bunt-
ing, flags, suffrage penants and col.
ors, Containing members OF the local
organization, was driven through the
principal streets, and this, together
with the continual ringing OF q bell by
an occupant of the car, succeeded in
attracting y good deal OF attention to
the cause and ringing up" a good
audience for the meeting.
Messrs. H. A. Livermore and Attor.
ney Shippy we're the speakers of the
evening. Both speakers proved them
selves equal to the occasion and pre-
sented the subject in a clear, %convinc.
ing manner, driving home undeniable
facts, and exposing many OF the falla-
cious arguments advanced by the anti
suffragists.
Three young ladies wearing the vel
low and black sashes bearing the In.
scription. ''Lucy Stones Self Sacrifice
Day." distributed literature and pen
chs at the close of the addresses.

LEAGUE.
Only eleven more weeks left before
the question of woman suffrage will be
considered by the voters Of North Da-
kota.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw, president
of the National American. Woman
Suffrage Association, and known as
the greatest woman orator OF America,
has announced that she will give ten
days to the campaign in North Da-
kota, beginning September 18th. DR..
Shaw spoke for suffrage in North Da-
kota twenty years ago, and writes that
she is eager to visit us again, partic-
ularly those towns she visited on her
former tour. Her schedule is not yet
definitely arranged, but will probably
cover the following towns: Fargo.
Grand Forks, Devils Lake, Minot,
Darlington, Valley City, jamestown,
Bismarck, Dickinson and Beach. DR..
Shaw is to give the first ten days OF
September to South Dakota and the
last ten days to Montana, both of
which states are to consider the ques-
ton OF woman suffrage this fall.
One OF the younger travelling men
for the American Tobacco Company,
u North Dakotsn by birth, was mildly
interested in suffrage in March, took
suffrage literature with him and prom
ised to say u good word for the cause
on his trip. In July he was heard to
boast that he had made five hundred
votes against. suffrage. What caused
the change Of heart? Might we infer
that his employer had something to do
with the shaping of his policy?
Suffrage grows more popular every
day. Even the advertisers are making
use of it to gain a hearing. Only last
week we noted two large items in q
number OF prominent state papers, one
presenting u face ointment and the
other lumber under the grise of q sui
frage article.

Last week, Mesdames Egan, Nor
throp, Officer, Bagley, Washburn and
Shlppy motored to Luverns to aid the
local workers in their work for the
temperance and suffrage cause. A
meeting was arranged for in the
church, where short addresses were
made by Mrs. Northrup and Mrs.
Bagley. Officers were elected for the
coming year, after which Mrs, Shippy
spoke On Equal Suffrage.
Much interest was manifested by
those present.
After the meeting, a house to house
canvas was made by members OF the
party, and suffrage literature distrib-
uted. The business houses We're also
visited, the callers leaving at each
place literature, "Votes for Women
buttons and Vote for Woman Sui
frage Nov. g." and lead pencils.
Similar trips to other towns are he.
ing arranged for.

DIES WHEN HOME BURNS.
Woman Meets Horrible Death in Fire
at Barnwell.

Barnwell, December 17.-Linda
Kennedy, who with her husband,
Scott Kennedy, occupied house in
East Barnwell, was burned to death
in the fire that destroyed their home
Tuesday morning. When the alarm
was given the house was in flames
and it was not until the fire had
burned itself out that the horrible
discovery was made that the woman
had lost her life 1t is thought that
she was making a fire, using kero-
sene for kindling, and that the can
exploded, setting fire to her clothes
and the house. She had been in ILL
health for several years and fright
probably caused her to lose conscious
ness before she could call for assist
ance.

Figuratively Speaking.

Charles Frohman is man of
strong determination, and believes
that his SAY so" is beyond dispute.
Some years ago William Furst, the
composer and orchestra leader in
one of the New York theatres, who
was also accustomed to having his
own way, was working over a new
production at a stage rehersal, Mr..
Frohnlan remarked:
That's too loud, Billy. Too

AS a slave he was a coachman for
Mr.. Hutson, who owned a big rice
plantation near Charleston, and
there, as the "man on the box" he
learned the art of riding erect.
Later, after the riot, he was ar
rested for some misdeed and bonded
by Mr.. Langley, founder of the
Langley Manufacturing company, for
whom he continued to drive until
the last days.

MOST RELIABLE RIFLE.
It is the Lee-Enfield Carried by the
British Troops.

None of the powers at present war-
ring with one another use the same
type of rifle, nor are any modern
rifles of the same pattern as those
in use at the time of the Franco
Prussian war, says Pearson's Week.
ly.
Rifles, indeed, are continually be-
ing changed and improved. In the
last 100 years, for instance, Great
Britain alone has had a dozen differ
ent types of rifle, while other coun-
tries have altered their weapons just
as much. The rifle now used by the
expeditionary force, however, is un-
doubtedly the finest all-round weapon
in the hands of any of the soldiers
on the continent.
The last time the British rife was
altered was in 1907, and the one now
used is what is known as the short
Lee-Enfeld. 1t is only 3 feet s 1-2
inches long, the shortest of all rifles
on the continent, but it is sighted up
to 2,S0O yards, and will actually send
bullet two miles, further than any
of the rifles of the other nations at
| war.
The Lee-Enfeld is only the result
of a series of improvements upon the
rifle of 1887. 1t is what is called
a magazine rifle, that is to say, it has
a compartment or magazine for hold
ing cartridges to save the soldier
from reloading every time he fires.
The British rifle will fire II times
without reloading, twice as often as
any other rife except the one used
by France, which fires nine.
Here are the points in which the
British rifle is superior to those used
on the continent: First of all, it car
ries more cartridges; secondly, it is
some inches shorter and also lighter,
and thirdly, it carries a bullet far
ther and more accurately than any
other continental rifle.
The weapon used by the French is
known as the Lebel. 1t is not only
half a pound heavier than the Eng
lish rifle, but it is nearly seven inches
longer. 1t has one great fault, and
that is that only nine shots minute
can be fired with it, compared with
"a shots a minute of the British
rife and 40 shots a minute of the
German.
The German weapon, the famous
Mauser, in fact, can fire more rounds
in a minute than any other rifle used
by the continental powers. The
! Mauser bullet, too, is considerably
heavier than the Lebel or Lee-Enfield
bullet. The German gun, however,
is not sighted anything like as far
as the one we use, falling short by
over 600 yards.
The heaviest bullet fired by the
fighting forces is one from the Aus
trian rifle, the Mannlicher. The
Mannlicher bullet weighs 244 grains,
as compared with 227 grains of the
Mauser, 215 grains of the Lee-En-
fed and the 1913 grains of the Lebel.
The Russian rifle is an improve
ment on one invented in 1894 and
known as the "3-line" Nagant. 1t
is quarter of pound heavier than
the Lee-Enfield and over seven inches
longer.

steal setting of what liz known to
theatregoers as Marta OF the Low

ming, and continues to he popular.
Here. few years ago. when 1t was

House, with cast that included
t'einhals and Schm edes. 1t missed FIRE

borrowed from the Metropolitan II
was well set, save as to the lighting,
which was bad, and the earnest ef-
forts OF all concerned In its presenta-
ton, together with an unusually
clear enunciation OF the English text,
made the performance worthy.
The Pedro OF Gustaf Bergman was
an effective Characterization. His
loyalty to the master who forced
upon him a wife. his simple devotion
TO the woman who scorned him. the
intensity of his passion when he
learned the truth. and the Mute
strength which which he killed the
violator OF his honor, were admirably
portrayed. Louis kreidler. as Sebas-
tiano, the master. also bore himself
excellently. Lois Eweil, as Marta,
looked charming, but lacked some
thing of intensity. She did tho COM
manded dance well. Beatrice La
Paine was an attractive Nuri. The
other characters were taken by Flor
cnce Coughlan. Louise Haussmann.
Cordelia Latham, Alfred Kaufman.
Louis d'Angelo. Vernon Dalhart and
Frank Dalhart. The singing and the
acting in the main. by the chorus as
well as by the principals. were COM

GAYETY.

The ever-p popular Watson sisters.
Fanny and Kitty. and an excellent
company of burlesQue artists opened
weeks engagement yesterday at the
GaJety. Max Spiegel has provided
those two girls with an edition dc
luxe in two volumes entitled Morocco
Bound, and it is one OF the snapplest
pieces seen here this season. ben
Fierce, as Herman Pickle. is the lead
ing comedian. and is ably assisted oy
Lew Williams and a. Hitler. ray
Darling, as a Morocco maiden; Mabel
Nahum. and Jack MCGOWAN are other
members of the company who add ma
terially to the success of the perform
ancc.
The chorus is composed of a bunch
of handsome girls, who can sing and
dance, and who form an attractive
background for the Misses Watson:
The latter have a number or good
songs, which they sing in the typical
Watson way.
The costumes and scenic effects are
elaborate, the harem scene in the sec
ond act, with it's Oriental atmosphere,
being particularly effective.

POLI'S.

The Poll Players in Madame X' this
week seem to apply the necessary touch,
If one was needed, to estab ish them an
an organization the characteristics Of
which are thoroughness and great ef-
ficiency.
A tragic story, with an appeal to the
emotions that Is no less insistent be-
cause a degraded woman makes II. the
Bisson drama made a new appeal to the
immense audience that packed Polls
last night.
That 1t was the farewell week of the
present members of the company was
evidenced by the air of sadness that
made the applause more sincere and the
flora! tributes more expressive.
Miss Jane Morgan in her most ef-
fective portrayal of the mother who
reaches the lowest strata of degrade
ton only to rise to the pinnacle of
sublirnity when her true motherly in
stincts return deserved every atom of
the cordial reception given her. AS the
wretched woman, spurned by her un-
forgiving husband, Miss Morgan re-
sporded to all the emotional require
ments of the role. and in the tavern
tacle, the great strength Of her talent
was eXcellently displayed.
Mr.. Brickert as the unrelenting hus-
band, gave another Of his splendid
characterizations, and Russell Fillmore,
as the son, measured up to the high
standard he has established in roles
previously played. Miss Kent and Miss
Carroll were strong in the assisting
cast and the balance of the large sup
porting company very capably respond.

was noticeable in the staging OF the
production, especially in the courtroom
