After their recent big defeat the
suffragist are turning their atten

is to be the next victim of their
agitation. A State suffrage con-

suffrage agitators are to be sent to
inspire Kentucky women with ad-
ded zeal for the cause.
One of these is Mrs Philip
Snowden, a promir ent English
Socialist, who spends much time

1t might be supposed from
"Frau" "Schwimmer's title that she
was a married woman. but this, it
seems is not the case. She is one
OF the many Feminists in Europe
who bave assumed the married
woman's title IN order to shield
the mothers of illegiumate child
rem. They argue that if all wO-
men married or single, have the
s-me title 1t will not be evident
whether a woman is married or
not! Instead of irving to lessen
illegitimacy, these Feminists are
trying to remove every prejudice
against it in law, custom or public
opinion. In the countries where
women vote they boast of great
success on these lines. In Nor
way since women vote, a law has
been passed that if there is doubt
as to the paternity of an illegiti-
mate child and if the mother can
implicate several men as possible
fathers they may all be taxed for
her benefit! (See "Feminism in
Germany and Scandinavia" by
Katherine Anthony, published by

lucky women on the path they
wish them to take, and on which
they say suffrage is only a step.
Let no one be deceived by the
fact that Feminism is not much
talked of at sffurage meetings at
present. The suffrage leaders are
clever enough to know that it is
dangerous until the vote is secur.

night to play the Charleston, S. g., team.
Tonight the squad here goes 10 Savan-
nah for a battle with that city's aggre-
cation.
The fracas yesterday developed into a
farce in the first inning when the Attn
letics scored six runs off Smoky joe
Wood, Gastons mound mainstay. Among
the notable events Of that first session
were two passes drawn by Eddie Murphy,
four stolen bases and six hits.
Noltz, Sherman and Davies did the
hurling for the Athletics, each going
three innings Six hits was the sum
total of the locals clouting ability off
this trio. The only run made by the
opposition came in the eighth on Barry's
boot and singles by Cueto and Hill, Ed
die Murphy faced the posing pitchers
five times, drew four passes and made IA

fall.

Five near-veteran pitchers also are

Wyckoff Bressler and Pennoc5. Prob
ably Wilbur Davis will be retained and
perhaps Myers and Hamilton,
The infeld is settled with the exception
of third base, Frank Baker may come
back. That would settle the problem In
case he does not, Rube OldrinG probably
will be tried out there The Rube came
to Mack as a third baseman. and his eX-
perience should stand him in good stead.
1t Is hardly probable now that King 1Nopf
will make the regular job. although he
seems certain of the utility infed place
