Sissy In Uniform.

General Funston calls the complain ing militiamen sissies and mollycod- dles. The Kansan who captured Aguinaldo thinks that a soldier should take all his hardships as a part of the days work and without a murmur. The regulars do that, but they are gradually and systematically inured to a rough life. Nor are their regiments followed about as are the guardsmen by home correspondents and phOtOg- raphers ready to record by written word and picture every detail of un- usual service. The regular seems to be nobody's child. He is @ detached and separate being, allied to no lOcali- ty or state. He is national, and if he has a kick coming" nobody hears about it.
 It is different with the clerk and farm lad, pitchforked fro uncomfortable beds into warlike conditions in Texas. But give the volunteer a little time and he will also take his medicine as sto- ically as did his ancestors at Bunker Hill and Gettysburg. He is of exact Iy the same stuff as the regular, but he lacks the training that makes @ sol dier. Every part of war or a near-war like that in Mexico is just the sort of hell which sherman said it was, so that the country should not tack too seriously the tales of hardships wich pour back from the fairly peaceful camp along the Rio Grande.-Kansas City Journal.

CONVENTION OF AMERICAN
 WOMAN SUFFRAGE ASSN
To decide Whether Efforts in the Future Are to be Confined to Federal or State Legislation or Both.

or SL6E6 Leg SizLlOKt Cf' S9CLtls
 
 Atlantic City, Aug 11.-Tbe forty eight annual convention of the Na- tional American Woman Suffrage As soctation will be held here Septem- Der to 10. The principal work of the convention will be to decide whether the Association will confne its efforts in future to Federal or State legisIa- ton, or both.
 The convention will determine, among other things, what course the suffragists will pursue to press the advantages won in the endorsement of their cause in the platform of the Vari- ous political parties. Leading suf- fragists are enthusiastic in the belief that the developments of the cOnVen- ton will pave the way for what they confidently assert is the inevitable es- tablshment of national suffrage for women.
 Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, of New York, president of the Association, will preside over the convention. Dr. An na Howard Shaw, honorary president, is expected to address the delegates. Former Justice Charles Evans Hughes, Republican presidential nominee and Theodore Roosevelt have been invited to speak.
 The endorsement by MT. Hughes of the proposed constitutional amend ment for suffrage has appealed strong Iy to the delegates to the convention. It is more likely that the action of the convention will influence many of the 4,0O0,00 women voters in the twelve suffrage states.
 The Executive Council of the Asso- citation will hold it's session the day prior to the opening of the conven- tion. At this time Mrs. Catt will re- port in her capacity of chairman Of the Campaign and Survey Committees, presenting a diagnosis of the sui frage situation. A general discussion will follow. In the afternoon 1t is planned to have the Executive Council divide into groups, each selecting a State best adapted to immediate cam paign work The report of these groups will later be made to the entire Council. The evening session will be dveotd to discussion of a pOssibl con structive plan to secure greater ef- ficiency.
 A three -cornered discussion to de- termine the active policy of the assOci- ation will be held on these questions: Shall the Association drop work on the Federal Amendment?"; Shall it concentrate on Federal and drop State worS?"; Shall it continue Federal and Stat worlz?'' When it is decided what program of activity the National As sociation shall undertake, the COnsid- erat1on of the wproblem next in. order, namely ~howssn1ores effective support of

He was traced by Police Chief Brown to Nor wich and then to New York city, where he mingled with his fellow country men and lost himself to the police. He returned to Westerly Thursday night and within an hour after his arrival Policeman Curtin had him in a cell in the police station.
 The original warrant charged: "A violent assault upon the body of Frank PignatorO did make, and him did beat, wound and i'll treat, with a dangerous weapon, to vita knife." As it was expected that he would be arrested outside of the state he was charged with a violent assault as under that charge he would be more eXtradite- able than if charged with simple as sault. After his arrest in Westerly the charge was changed to simple assault
 When arraigned before Judge Oliver H. Williams in the Third district court Friday, GincerreIlo pleaded guilty and a fine Of $50 and costs was imposed. The accused paid and was given his freedom.
