WHY THE Votes
MRS. MAUD McCREERY MAKES
ABLE PLEA FOR WON
EMS SUFFRAGE.

Concisely. but in a tanner which
left no room for ~hazarding guesses.
Mrs. Maud McCreery. of Green Bay.
Wis, last night on Egan avenue at
the intersection of Fifth street. gave
word diagrams in answer to the ques-
tions, why do women want to
voter" and What will they do when
given the franchise"
She said, Women want TO vote
for the very same reason reason men
want to vote. When the laws of
South Dakota permit women TO vote
the will attend strictly to
their own business"
Despite a breeze which was too
chilly for comfort. a considerable
number of men and women heard
Mrs. McCreery's address. given from
an automobile drawn up to the curb
line. The speech was interspersed
with quips which elected generous
applause.
Mrs. McCreery said that there was
not a valid reason why men should
vote that could not be applied to
women voting. She told that one of
the country's most inspiring slogans.
Equal rights to all; special priv
ileges to none" could not be a real
ity until the population which bears
it's full share of the country's bui-
dens are privileged TO assist in MAX
ing the laws under which they live.
Ii was pointed out that women tax
payers now may not have a voice in
the matter of spending the money
which they pay in taxes.
The audience was advised hat IL
need not harbor misgivings as TO
whether women would be able to in
diligently cast their ballots.
When a woman arrives at that
stage of responsibility which calls for
the payment of taxes by her, she Is a
pretty sound and seriously minded
individual" said Mrs. McCreery.
Mrs. McCreery will spend the week
in Lake county. making a couple OF
speeches a day in the smaller towns.
Members of the local suffrage COM
mittee will accompany her. She ex-
poets TO talk again in Madison next
Saturday.

POSTOFFICE NEARER
u. s. TREASURY DEPARTMENT
ASKS TO HAVE INFORMA-
TION RUSHED.

A little behind schedule, but. evi
IDENTITY one the less surely, arrange.
ments for the construction of the pro.
posed new p~ostoffice and fedora
building are at least nearing a head
That ii Is the intention to start
actual construction of the building in
the near future is indicated by a tel
egram which has beer received from
Washington by Postmaster William
Lowe, in which ii is asked If the city
will consent to extending a water
main to the site purchased for the
~postoffice at the southwest corner OF
Harth avenue and Fifth street. An
immediate reply by wire was asked
for. Postmaster Lowe, after con
sulting the city commissioners, re
piled that Madison will provide nee
essary water service.
The site for the postoffice was pur-
chased six or seven years ago. Little
further was heard from the govern
ment on the matter until about fouI
years ago, when in response to in
quiries, the treasury department
wrote Congressman Dillon, member
for this district, that an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for the building had
been made, and that the money
would be available in about three
years from hat time, which would
have been last spring or before. Last
winter IN additional $4,000 for the
Madison federal building was appro-
priated. 1t vas thought by many
that the additional $4,000 was nee
essary to carry out the original plans
for the building, owing to the gen
eral advance in building materials,
since the first appropriation was
made.
Early this spring $500 of the APP
preparation was drawn with which TO
make tests of the soil on the site.
with a view to gauging the kind of
foundation it would be necessary to
build. The samples were taken and
the tests of the soil made
The fact that Immediate ipSorma-
tion as to whether city water service
would be available was asked, leads
many to believe that the government,
now is losing no time in arranging
final details for the commencement
of work.

RENAME Streets
METROPOLITAN TOUCH LENT TO
NEW NUMBERING OF HOUSES
IN THE CITY.

Growth of the city and recurring
confusion arising from the present
obsolete method of street naming
and house numbering, has made nee
essary the remaining of city streets,
running east and west, and the re-
numbering of all buildings facing on
streets or avenues, it was decided by
the city commission at its regular
meeting last night. An ordinance
which will, when adopted, supplant
the present system of street and
house designating, was introduced at
last nights meeting of the city COM
mission.
Under the new plan. the number
ing of all buildings in the city will
start at the corner OF Egan avenue
and what is now Fifth street, and all
streets running east and west will
number from the same intersection.
After the adoption of the ordi-
nance Fifth street will be Center
street. The first street north, now
called Sixth street. will be First
street northeast or First street north
west. depending on whether 1t is that

part OF the t~horoughfare east or west
of Egan avenue. the dividing line be-
tween east and west. The same will
apply to all streets north of Center
street. The present Seventh street
west of Egan avenue will be Second
street northwest, and Seventh street
east of Egan avenue will be Second
street northeast.
The same rule will hold good on
all numbered streets south of Center
street, except on those thoroughfares
the word south" will be used in
stead of the word north" The first
street south of Center street, which
is now known as Fourth street. will
be First street southwest on the
west side of Egan avenue, and ii will
be First street southeast on the east
side of Egan avenue.
Also four other street names will
be changed. Edward street will be
Sixth street southeast, and Joseph
street will be Ninth street southeast.
First avenue will be Summit avenue
north and Second avenue is to be
known rs Prairie avenue north.
The numbering of buildings on all
avenues running north and south is
to begin at Center street, and at
Egan avenue OF streets running east
and west. Buildings on the east side
of and on the north side of
streets will have eve numbers, and
those on the west side of
and the south side of streets, odd
numbers, as at present. There will
be a house number for every 25-foot
lot.
The numbering is to start at 100.
and 100 is added for each additional
street corner. For example, the first
lot west of Egan avenue on the south
side of First street northwest will be
No. 101. The first house on the
south side of the same street in the
next block west will be POI First
street northwest.
1t will be necessary for all house
holders to number their buildings.
Prior to assigning an additional
mail carrier to the city, United States
postal inspectors requested that the
street numbering be made more uni
form.

NATURAL HISTORY OF DIAMONDS
CUTTING and POLISHING
GUY E. HANSON

Diamonds are polished by
pressure on a wheel of steel,
which makes $500 revolutions a
minute. Diamond dust mixed
with olive oil is used for the pol
ishing process, and about sixty
hours time is required to polish
a rough diamond of two carat

Diamonds are cut chiefly in
Amsterdam, Holland, although
this country has gone into the
field, and is doing better work
than our European competitors.

The loss in cutting is about 60
per cent, and therefore, a rough
stone of two and a half carat
size will make a finished stone of
one carat.
The brilliancy of a diamond
depends upon the cutting, with

FOXHALL KEENE INJURED
WHILE RIDING IN HUNT
Noted Sportsman in Serious Condt-
tion-Horse Believed to Have
Fallen When Taking Fence.

BALTIMORE, Nd, December 6.-Fox-
hall P. Keene. the widely known sports-
man of New York. was seriously in
jured yesterday while riding in the
annual joint hunt meeting at the Har-
ford Hunt Club. near Pennington, Md.
His condition was reported to be un-
changed this morning. He rallied early
today long enough to ask for some-
thing to eat, and after being given
some milk lspsed into the semi-con-
scious state in which he had lain all
night.
Mr.. Keene's physician today declined
to state the exact nature or extent OF
his patients injuries. or to talk about
the case. He said last night that Mr..
Keene was shaken up and injured about
the head. but that no bones were
broken.
The clubman was said to have been
alone at the time Of the accident. 1t
was learned. however, that his horse
fell while taking a fence. 1t is thought
that when his mount went down keene
was thrown heavily. landing on his
head. He was not discovered until
from the large field participating in the
hunt. He was found unconscious in a
clump of bushes and taken to the CLUB,
house.
Mr. Keene has met in his career as q
horseman. In ApEil. 1902. he was Sc
verely injured while riding with the
Melton -Mowbray pack when his mount
stumbled at an awkward fence with a
ditch in front. Before that, in Janu-
ary. 1899, Mr. Keene fell from his horse
while riding to hounds in Ireland, and
the cables at first reported him killed.
He has been in several minor accidents.
