For forty years Miss Susan B. Anthony has been working in the cause of woman's suffrage. She is still hopeful and active, though she Probably does not expect to live to see the fulfillment of her dreams. Itis likely that forty years ago she was more sanguine of im- mediate results than she is to-day, but, looking back, she is not dissatisfied with the work she has done, and she has no doubt that the people willin time be educated up to the point of recognizing the civil rights of women, She is here now preparing for the twenty-first annual convention of the National woman suffragist association, The association has reached its yoting age, but the women are still without their votes. This year the convention meets in the Congregational church, the first time the woman suffragists have been able to get the use of that charch for this purpose. They feel that the trustees, or whoever are in con- trol there, have advanced one step towards enlightenment. The convention meets on Monday to be in session three days, and Miss Anthony is looking up Senators and members of the Hoase who are willing to sit upon their stage or to speak for them. A Star reporter called on Miss Anthony at the Riggs house. She had just finished a hard day’s work. “I do not expect to do anything with the House this short session,” she said,“‘but I hope we shall be able to have the agitation resumed in the Senate. We are promised that our bill shall be reported there and considered. We want to have speeches made on the subject and to getavote. Ali this aids in the great educa- tional work that is progressing.” “During the past year.” she continued, “the work has been spreading. The people are get- ting more and more enlightened every year, and it is by this means that we are ultimately so be successful. We have hada great boom in England. Lord Salisbury declaring for us a Urerd thing. He tests, of course, that it is his individual act, but that is only a feeler before making it the policy of the gov- ernment. Salisbury is very clever. ‘The woman suffragist movement has always had the moral support of the liberals; perhaps not Mr. Gladstone’s personal active aes, but it has been a liberal movement. It has been agitated until it is about on the point of success. The women have gradually got the right to vote at first at one and then at another of the various English elections, until now they vote for everything but the members of parlia- ment. That, too, is bound to come soon, and Salisbury has been quick to catch the rising tide. He will be a great help to us. “IN THIS COUNTRY the educational work is progressing very satis- factorily. The sentiment is steadily growing, and will continue to grow as the people ad- vance in enlightment. The Boston election showed very satisfactorily that the women will vote when given a chance and a cause to inter- est them. The best women on both sides of the juestion at issue in Boston voted. It was noted thet the educated and refined women were prompt to exercise their privileges as citizens, and that the lower classes chiefly refrained from voting. : “Every advancement of the human race is in our interest, but we are waiting a long time.

A MURDEROUS ATTACK MADE BY TWO PRISONERS IN THE REFORM SCHOOL, ‘The case of Dorsey Fultz and John Barnes, colored, inmates of the reform school, charged with stabbing and cutting Wm. H. Dockett, an inmate of the same institution, was heard in the Police Court yesterday. Dockett and a boy named Henson had an argument on New Year's day as to whether a policeman could swear against a prisoner in the Criminal Court or not. Fultz, who overheard the discussion, volunteered his opinion on the question, and was told to “‘keep his mouth to himself.” Some words followed, but no blows passed. A few days later Fultz and Barnes said they expected trouble and armed themselves with knives from the workshop. In the afternoon, while Dockett was going from the workshop to the family building, it is alleged, they assaulted H ived about seven stabs and cuts e. neck, and back, and was co fined to bed for about « week.

A VIRGINIAN GETS SOME POINTS FROM THE CELE- BRATED PASTEUR. A resident of Virginia, who was bitten by a dog, wrote to the celebrated Pasteur relative to his case. He received a reply, dated Paris, January 1, in which Mr. Pasteur says: “The accident that has happened you does not pre- sent any gravity whatever, if the dog that has bitten you is in goad health. All I can tell you is this: That the bite of an animal not mad has no gravity whatever, and that You have noth- ing to fear if the biting dog was living eight days after the accident.” stray A Tae Dera Karra Epsttox Assoctation.— The twelfth regular social meeting of the Wa: ington Alumni association of Delta Kappa Epsi- lon was held at Welcker's last evening.
