Two pretty little bushes fullof pink and white azalea | blooms and a bouquet of pink rose buds distracted the attention for » minute from the ladies who sat there to preside as well as to | adorn the rostrum. Rev. Anna Shaw presided for the first part of the session and imade as interesting a per- ‘sonage in that position as she is in every other she selects. When Miss Suran B. Anthony came in she took bold and “‘bossed” the meeting to the en: tire satisfaction of everybody else, as well as herself, till the adjournment at 1:15. REPORTS FROM AUXILIARIES, Reports from presidents of auxiliary state so- cieties occupied the entire meeting. As more southern states were ready to be heard from than other sections of the country there were visions of magnolia and orange groves and the palmetto and the pino dangling betore the Uclegates in the nicest sort of a way. The temperature out of doors sent everybody in with just the condition of mind to appre- ciate the story of warmth anywhere, just so it was genuine. Miss Laura €lay of Kentucky, who made a report as chairman of the committee on south- ern work, found attentive listeners. Mrs. DuBowe, who read Mrs. Claudia B. Howard's report of the suffrage work in Geor- gia, was supplemented by another voice from below Mason and Dixon's line, Mra. Avery reading Mrs, Caroline E. Merrick’s report for Louisiana. Mrs. Mary Bentley Thomas of Montgomery county, Md. said that she represented a suffrage ‘society of fifty members, made up of as many men and youths as women. She said that the appointment of police matrons in Baltimore was a big step in the line of woman's advance- ment, and had been frequently the entering wedge for them to get better representation. Mrs. Chamberlin of Tampa, Fla., made a delightful speech. She said her society was only two weeks old and ought not really be abroad in such cold weather. Ax the bad promised to do suffrage work the only way she could redeem that promise was to get suffrage doctrines in the newspa She had asked for a column, which, to the best of her ability, she had en- deavored to fill with suffrage ‘matters. She wanted to be a voter, because she was @ tax- payer and because she wanted to have some- thing to say in public matters, Her description of the formation of the Tampa society was exceedingly interesting, and she promised next year when their eve teeth were cut to be able to show better results. ONLY ONE DAY OLD. The baby society, the Virginia Suffrage Asso- ciation, which is only one day old, bad a most interesting chapter on “Southern Women and Suffrage” by the delegate, Mrs. Orra Langhorne, read by that > young and attractive niece, Miss Daingerfiel When she finished it Mrs. Anthony came as near as she is ever likely to breaking down. Her voice was husky and big tears glistened behind her gold spectacles as she spoke of Mra. Lang- horne’s long and devoted service to the suffrage work. ‘The other parts of this broad land heard from this morning had most energetic representa- tives. Mrs. Pickler, wife of Representative Pickier of South Dakota, made an address of telling importance. She talked offhand and entirely as one ac- customed to it. She said that the suffragints were grievously disappointed at the loss of the suffrage amendment to the constitution at the last election, but it was partly compensated for in the election of thirteen women superin- tendents ont of the fifty counties of the state. She said the women were going to knock at the doors of every legislature until they were given representation. Next year they were going to have something to say about the divorce laws in their state. South Dakota had pretty easy methods of getting divorces, but she did not think very much easier than in other states. They also intended to ask for the appointment of women on all the state charitable und educational Doards, and were determined to get these crumbs at least. ON THE PACIFIC coast. Mrs. Nelly Holbrook Blynn of San Francisco, Cal., who is a well-known organizer in political field, as well tions, other states, a y address, in which she told that the Pacific coast hadiong ago recognized the justice of the proposition that women doing equal work with men should receive equal pay. Mra. Colby of Nebraska whose state is way up head on woman suffrage matters, had a good word to say of what the women intend doing in the near future. Before the convention adjourned it had an eloquent speech from Miss Laura Clay of Ken- tueky, in which she Inid down the proposition that the south was all ready for work- ers and there were only four states not organized. She said the women there were as far advanced as their northern sisters on all questions and it would be easier work to plant good suffrage seed there than it had been forty years ago in the north. Miss Anthony, who has been traveling for 80 many years, snys that in her recollections of conventions’ here, this is the coldest snap of them all. It has kept away about half the dele- gates and visitors, Among the ladies in the gallery witnessing the proceedings of the association was Mrs. Green, proprietress uf the Culpepper Ezponent. Mrs. Green is a representative Virginian, who believes in a gradual and conservative enlarge- ment of woman's sphere, but her sympathy with the movement was not quite - suflicient to take her on to the floor OTHER PROCEEDINGS TODAY, The afternoon session was devoted to an elec- tion of officers, and the report of the commit- tee on resolutions with a lengthy discussion. Tonight the program promises to be as inter- esting as last night, and nobody is through talking about that yet ‘The addresses aro report, ‘Governors’ Opin- ion on Woman Suffrage,” Mary H.

There was alarge attendance at the sang and a report of a series of constitutional con- ventions held in Kansas, which was pre Broderick of Hana, the “dnagnior of” He wughter of sentative Broderick.” Remarks were made by the wives of Re tatives Otis of Kansas and Greenleaf of New York.

STAPLES’ HUNGRY GUESTS. A Big Free Lunch to the Poor of Washington Served at Willard Hall, Willard Hall was never the scene of a more truly charitable entertainment than it was to- day. Col. 0. G. Staples, proprictor of Willard’s, and Mra. Staples served a free lunch to the poor of Washington. Between the hours of 11 and 2 about 500 people were fed. Long rows of tables were freighted with happiness for the inner man and fringed with hungry humanity. There may have been a lack of that etiquette which the professors of table tech- nique affect, but there was much sin- cere and earnest eating. Unlike many charity meals there was no crowding, no pushing and no disorder. Everybody was quiet and demure. All were intent on the spread. ‘There was no talking across the board. It was a serious matter with the guests. It hed been « long time since they had been overfed, and they were making hay while the sun shone. Gout and dyspepsia were at a discount, Everybody bad an appe- tite of long range and wide circulation. When they had eaten themselves to Plimeon's line they looked their gratitude at their en- tertainers more often than they spoke it. In a few instances verbal thanks for the feast were expyremsed with a grace which bespoke gentle breeding in the donee. In the manners of some of the feeders could be | detected the shadow of brighter days. Asa rule, however, it was the usual charity crowd of poor, helpless. dejected and humble people. | The bread and soup which Mr«. Staples and | her corps of assistants dispensed was just of the same superfine quality which is! served to the four-dollar-n-day guests of the hotel. Ench free luncher today was given not only as much as he or she could ent at table, but as much as could be carried howe in the pails, pots and buckets which they brought. Col. Staples said that be | did not want them to go only with grateful | memories. He believed that there was more | solid comfort in soup and bread than in memories. About two-thirds of the guests today were colored people ant one-third of this part was women. Children were well represented, and they displayed a vigor of appetite and a ca- pacity far in advance of their years. Tomorrow, from 11 o'clock till finixh, Col. Staples, Mrs. Staples and assistants will supply soup, ee meats to all comers, ir- reapective of present or previous condition. The dining room can accommodate 500 at ono sitting and the colonel is anxious to fill it up as many times as it will have patrons, Mra, Staples was aided today by the following ladies: Mra, H. A. Willard, Mra. William i. Morrison, Mra. Phelps, Mrs. Swope, Miss Ker- ner, Miss’ Ethel Swope, and Miss Ring. The same ladies will act tomorrow. itll Contributions Through “The Star.” Contributions have beensent toTmz EvgxIxc Sax as follows: For Associated Charities, Heretofore kmowledged, €1,012.90; cash, €1; Kate derson, $5; Widow 8, €1; A Daughter Circle, €5; J.
