MRS. BLooMER NOT THE FIRST
Insisted She Only Copied Plantations
That Took Her Name.

Seventy-four years ago July 10, the
hrst woman suffrage meeting in the
United states was called to order in the
Wesleyan church, al Seneca Falls. The
building, at Fall and Mynderse streets.
IS now garage. \ bronze tablet on
the wall tell4 of the memorable event.
Among those at the first suiTragist
gathering were Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
Mrs. Lucretia Mott, Frederick Douglass.
James Mott, Henry b. Stanton. Amelia
jerks BloOmer, Ansel BascOm, David
Dudley Field and others of note. Susan
b. Anthony was not present but came
TO Seneca Falls later, met Mrs Stanton.
and the two combined their forces in the
drive for equal suffrage.
AT the time three reforms were being
agItated. They were temperance, dress
reform and the abolition of slavery.
Susan b. Anthony was 4 leader in urg-
ing the emancipation of the slaves; Mrs.
Elizabeth Smith Miller daughter of
Congressman Gerrit Smith of Peterhoro.
and Amelia jerks Boomer were agitat-
ing dress reform. These women came
together for the first time in Senaca
Falls village.
Records left by Mrs. Bloomer show
she obtained credit for things in con
nectlon with the dress reform movement
to which she was not entitled. 1t was be-
cause she gave support to the movement
that "blOomers' came to be so called.
Mrs. Boomer lays the blame on the
editor of the Courier. a local paper.
which ran in competition to her publica-
ton. the Lily.
Mrs. BIoomer told of a newspaper
controversy between herself and the
Courier editor in the course of which she
came out in favor of the wearing of
''pantaloOns," as the Seneca Falls edi-
tor had humorouslY suggested
About this time she wrote, Eliza
beth Smith Miller appeared on the street
in short skirts and full Turkish trousers.

if ever I knew But she wore it with
the full approval of her father and hus-
band. During her fathers term in con-
gTess she was in Washington and the
papers of that city described her ap-
pearance on the streets in the short
costume.
"A few days after Mrs. N[illers ar
rival in Seneca Falls Mrs Stanton came
cut in n dress made in Mrs. Miller's
style. She walked our streets in skirt
that came little above the knees and
trousers of the same material-hlack

sion of the dress question it seemed
proper that ! should practice as ] had

sLOwEST AND FASTEST THINGS.
Light Travels $4,000 Feet a Second
Human Thumb Is Slowest Grower.

What are the slowest and speediest
things on earth? Scientists believe light
and electricity, which travel $4,000 feet
a second, are the fastest. and the human
thumb, which grows 2-1,00O, 100000 of a
yard a second, is probably the slowest.
The fastest material thing on earth
is thought TO be the projectile from
gun, the velocity from which is 1000
miles an hour. According to sporting
records a man can walk a mile in 612
minutes and run it in AZ minutes.
Probably the latest speed at which a
steam engine and train ever ran over the
rails was in 1901, when an engine and
train reached a speed of 120 miles an
hour. or two miles u minute.
Tommy Milton travelled in an auto
at the rate of one mile in little more than
% seconds.
An electric train between Berlin and
Zossen attains a speed of 40 miles an
hour. which is the highest ever attained
by a railroad train.
The highest speed attained by an avail
ator is that of De Romanet. the French
AVIATOR, who reached 1913 miles an hour.
Tt has been reported. however, that this
speed has been exceeded in this country.

The Burberry Season.

ries in surprisingly large quantities
Nature sees fit to produce them in
wholesale lots so that after humans
have done their best or worst to gath
err them there are enough left for
birds and beasts.
There are sections OF northern Con-
necticut where hlueberries are found
but the quantity is small compared
with the yield in Massachusetts, where
pickers measure by the bushel rather
than the quart. The ripening OF the
berries is an event which is recognized
to the extent that IL puts check
on other rural occupation during the
season. which is not an especially long
one. There are few wild berries with
a wider range of growth, even though
Connecticut is almost omitted in the
distribution, for they grow far to the
north as Gray gives the range of the
early type from Newfoundland south
to Virginia and northwest by way of
Illinois and Wisconsin to Saskatche-
wan. Another variety runs from Lab
rador to Manitoba and still another
from Labrador TO Alaska, the south
ern limit for this being Maine and
Vermont. Massachusetts and Connect
icut would be much too tropical for
this type.
No state regards the berries from a
financial standpoint more thoroughly
than does Massachusetts,. IL has been
observed that the berry, like the
strawberry, comes into growth after
