Equal Suffrage Notes

Members of the 'ocal Equal Franeh- ise League are rejoicing greatly over the news from North Dakota. On January 23 the Governor signed the partial suffrage bill which gives North Dakota women the right to vote for President and for municipal officers. The measure which is modelled on the illinois bill passed in 1913, was the first business passed by the present session of the Legislature. North Dakota's five electoral votes will make a total of 96 to be cast by equal suffrage states at the next election.
 The campaign for presidential sui frage is now being carried on in many states. A bill was presented to the Connecticut Legislature last week. A similar measure has already passed the House in Tennessee, and Is thought to have an excellent chance of becom- ing law in Ohio and New Hampshire. Women, having obtained suffrage blanks in both Republican and Dem- ocratic national platforms and in the party platforms in many states, are not slow to test the good faith of these promises of support.

 FaveIeau told the court that he left his watch and ichain on the table in his home in the north end of the city as the clock was broken and his wife had no other way of telling the time. He snid he went out and when he re- turned the watch was gone. That was all he knew about it.

4 Notable Birthday

The following is from "The Towns man" Wellsely, Mass, the subject of the article being the wife of the late Rev. c. $. Brooks, for many years pastor of the Putnam Congregational church:
 s'It has been one of the pleasant GUS toms of the past few years for the members of the former Sunday School class of Mrs. Eleanor Brooks to gather at her home on New Years day in re- cognilion of the anniversary of the day of her birth and to offer good wishes for the year to come.
 New Year's Day of 1917 held an ad- d sd interest for these friends because on that day Mrs. Brooks passed the seventy fifth mile stone on her journey through this goodly world to the bet ter world to come. Not all of these years have been full of sunshine; there have been some shadows, a few clouds, little rain but out of her experience she has garnered that which has made her life full and rich, an inspiration and blessing not only to her i'm. mediate family and the inner circle of her more intimate friends but to that larger outer circle of friends whose lives have in any way touched her own.
 On this lastss New Years day there was music, of course. Dainty re- freshments were served. There was much talk and laughter and when we came at last to take the hand of our gentle hostess and bid her good night each of us felt that another Red Letter had been added to our Day of Good Wishes.

Today is variously known as ground hog day, Candlemas Day, or the feast of the Ratification of St. Mary the Virgin, according to whether one is weather wise or religious. Holy con- munion is celebrated in the Protestant Epis copal churches today and in the Roman Catholic churches the candles are blessed.
 If you are weather-wise you know that If the ground hog sees his st ad. ow, and see it he certainly did today, he gees back and again wraps up warmly in the blankets and tells old mother ground hog that she can sleep for six weeks more. She murmurs, "I should worry" and dozes of again.
 So, if syou believe in this sign as a forecast of the future as ito weather, you need be in no hurry to get out your summer wearing apparel to give it the once over.

Girl Laughs as She Tells of Fight
Many Joes Confuse the Court

Ali of the young gallants of the Po- fish settlement were in the city court Saturday morning to hear and also to see pretty Sophie Loreska on the wit ness stand. Sophie was the star wit ness in an assault case and she looked as though she had just stepped out from the front row in the chorus of a musical comedy. She was modishly dressed, with neckpiece of white and huff to match, wore ! white hat and the latest thing in high, light colored boots. She smiled as she told her story partly in broken English and partly through a Polish interpreter, and the smile displayed row of even, white teeth also an attractive dimple.
 Sophie apparently enjoyed her posi- tion in the center of the stage as she told how she left a dance which fol lowed n Polish wedding on Mill street last Monday night shortly after II o'clock with Joseph Guwka upon whom it was alleged that Joseph Stomech, Stanley Uklya and Walter W,urek made an assault.
 Besides Joseph Stomech and Joseph Guwkn there was Joseph Adams and Joseph Marka as witnesses and when just plain "Joe" was spoken of it took some minutes 10 determine what Joe was meant.
 According 10 the story told by state's witnesses when Guwka and Sophie reached South Meadow street they were met by the three accused. Waiter Waurek, who has gone to parts unknown, and was not in court, hit Guwka in the face and then drew a knife and cut him on the wrist and arm. Guwka showed the court his right glove with a small cut in it and a scratch on his wrist where the blade grazed the skin. Also a small cut in his coat sleeve and another slight scratch.
 It was testified that the other two took part in the mixup and that Stan ley hit Guwka over the head with a bottle or some other weapon. Guwka fell and then got up and ran into Sophie's house and from there some men went home with him.
 The two efendants denied any part in the assault. They claimed that they merely tried to act as peace makers and picked Guwka upifIom the ground.
 Sophie was recalled to clear up a point and smiled at Stanley as she again told the court how he hitGuwka on the head with bottle.
 The court Hound both men guilty and sentenced Stomech to pay fine $lO and costs of S6.45 and Uklya . fine of $5 and costs. Both paid.
 It Is understood that . civil action has been brought and that the defend- ants wages have been garnisheed.
