The Chances in Virginia, Kentucky and New York—A King’s Daughter ‘ Joins the Ranks, There was a very large audience at Metzerott Hall last evening for the gen- eral meeting of the Suffrag= Association, and the addresses, which were of a partic- ularly interesting character, were listened to with close attention. There was a particularly large proportion of men in the audience, a fact to which Miss Anthony referred as a most encouraging sign and a source of great satisfaction to the mem- ders. Mrs. Josephine K. Henry of Kentucky read a paper on woman suffrage in the south, which has, she said, just emerged from war and woe, and southern men K. Kornay. awaits them. While no southern Con- gressmen have avowed themselves in favor of¢woman suffrage, yet in the Ken- tucky legislature men are appearing who are espousing the cause. There are thou- | sands of men in Kentucky today who are | suffragists and thousands of others who would be if the question were fairly and savarely put before them. The only safe and papsible way to settle the race ques- tion Is to give women the ballot, with an educatipnal qualification. This could be done hout excluding black women from Rev. Anua H. Shaw. the benefits of the franchise, for both jignerant white and black women would be excluded on exactiy the same terms. Mrs, Lillie Devereux Blake, chairman of | the New York City Suffrage League, fol- lowed with a stirring address, in which she expressed herself as confident of the success of the proposed constitutional wo- man suffrage amendment in New York in An address was also made by Leonard Rhone, the chairman of the executive committee of the National Grange. The next paper was read by Mrs, Orra Langhorn of Virginia, on the subject of “House Cleaning in Virginia.” The Work of Virginin Women. She spoke of the many evils that exist in the old dominion. From the women of the land, Mrs. Langhorn said, came sorrow- ful tales_of injustice and hardship. The people saw the result of the management “of important matters in the hands of ‘the men of the state, and in “shame and sor- row pronounce it failure.’ She asserted Mrs. Elizabeth Yates, that, notwithstanding, women had been de- prived of the advantages given to male citizens, the daughters of Virginia had not failed to do their part. Society had been reorganized, religion sustained, the children of the land cared for and taught. She asked that the men of Virginia give the women ‘an equal portion in the advantages of edu- cation, equal remuneration in eccupation, equal political rights. The audience listened with great interest and attention to an address by Madame Hanna Kerany of Syria, who discoursed on woman suffrage from an oriental stand- point. She said that the reeords of the far- away past manifested that woman had par- ticipated In all human affairs. She knew of maby good reasons why woman should vote, but could not see one single reason why she should not vote. It {s an injustice and robbery, she said, to withhold woman from exercising her rights. “I would like so much to become an American citizen,” she said, “but I shall never be one until woman's citizenship shall be proclaimed all through this land.” 1A Convert to the Caune. The meeting closed with an address by Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickinson of New York, the secretary of the King’s Daughters, who came out for the first time openly last night for woman suffrage. She expressed her int@ntion of aiding in the work to the best of her ability. She said many obstacles still to be overcome before success crowned their efforts, but that the time would come when success would be achieved. —_— Chameleon ve. Lisard. From the Florida Hustler.

Walking Stick Ornamented by Some Grewaome Me- mentoes, ‘The other afternoon an old man attracted good deal of attention on Vine street, Cincinnati, by reason of the peculiar cane which he carried. Personally he was in no way different from lots of queer old men that one is apt to meet in a day's walk about the streets of a great city. He was under-sized, fat and red as to his nose. | His beard was gray and was long. It need- ed a shampoo. The man’s Gress was of ordinary quality, but it was all there. His breath was tainted with firewater. As be him where he got the cane. It was an old stick and without knot or crook, Wound around and around it was @ string of ornaments of the strangest kind. Here was a hickory nut, there a beech nut, there a walnut, ard | other nuts could be seen on the stick. ‘Then there were buttons of all varieties. Sume were pants buttons, others were coat and vest buttons and there were dress or cloak buttons. Some were smail, while others were large as silver dollars. A lead pencil stump dangled about the middle of the cane. A carpet tack hung from the point A piece of cork, a broken marble, a shoe peg, keys of various kinds and other ar- ticles too numerous to mention were strung about his cane. On being asked by a Times-Star man how he happened 6 cat 80 peculiar a stick he becnme coramunica- tive. “Every trifle around this stick,” snid he, “is a memento. This piece of toy mar- ble belonged to my boy when he was stil! alive. Here is a button from my first sSweetheart’s cloak. And here's another from my wife's cloak. This shoe button dropped from a beggar’s shoe.” He indi- cated the various articles as he spoke. “Last fall I visited my boyhood home in West Virginia, and these nuts came from there. I found this shoe nail ai Mount Vernon a few years ago, near the tomb of which will be responded to by Mrs. James Peck, state regent of Wisconsin.

To Define Murder. A bill defining degrees of murder has been | introduced in the House by Mr. Curtis of | New York. It classes as murder in the first pe and makes punishable by death any yard, magazine or other place under the | exclusive jurisdiction of the United States, | including rivers and arms of the sea, causes death by deliberately lying in wait, or who, [in the attempt to perpetrate any rape, arson or robbery, kilis another. Whenever a person kills another in the places named | without premeditation he is to be deemed | guilty of murder in the second degree, and | jis to be punished by imprisonment at hard | labor for Jife. Whoever in these places un- lawfully ‘kills any human being without malice, expressed or implied or involuntar- ily, is to be punished by imprisonment at) hard labor for twenty years, or a shorter | term, as the court may decide. Any person duly enlisted in the army or navy who in tine of war deserts to the enemy is to be punished by death, and any person who, during their term of service in | these branches of the service, instigates. mutiny is to suffer the same penalty. The punishment of death prescribed for any of- fense specified by the United States statutes other than those of murder, ghter, | rape, desertion and mutiny is abolished. "| The Sel | From Harper's Bazar. We are so much in the way of hearing the unselfishness of women exploited by | their admirers that it strikes upon us with a sudden jar when we hear some piain-/| spoken body cry out upon the sex as sel- | fisn. At a recent luncheon, where around en elegant table twenty clever women dis- _cussed topics of interest while they ate | Pates and ices, one young lady boldly pro- | claimed her conviction that women, if not) | inherently selfish, were at least more selfish than men. Assailed on all sides, she skill- | fully defended her position, declaring that ene had only to go to the fashionable re- sorts, in summer or in winter, to prove the /truth of what she said. “Think,” she as- serted, “of the Jonely weeks a man is forced | to spend at home,while his wife and daugh- ters are enjoying themselves at Bar Harbor or somewhere else in August, or at St. Augustine in February! The poor plodding ‘male creature who pays the bills never expects a vacation beyond his month or his fortnight, regulated by the exigencies of business or the working force of the , office; but madame and mademoiselle, they \ flit away as care-free as the birds, and | never trouble themselves about the poor for- sts to jcrn man, who dines at his club and comes; , home to a cheerlessly lonely house.” “My husband hates society, and I adore “Which is the more sel- all the time, I det ness in him, nd, on the other hand, if I drag him away from hi: den and his newspaper to gay which he detests, I am develop- ing selfishness in my own character.

I like to have them near- me, and I find that the easiest way is to carry them around my cane.” —~. So Thrilling W Incident Tha: the Girl Said, “Well, I Never.” From the Chicago Tribune. As she stepped into a Clark street car every man in it turned to look at her; she greeted another girl effusively and sat down beside her. “O, Dora, I've had such an experience!” she panted, as she cast a coguettish glance at the young man opposite. “You always are having -experiences,” grumbled her fried, “and nothing ever happens to me It all comes of having those bic, appealing eyes and that t.mid air, whem you're not even afraid of a mouse.’ “O, but this was really an awful experi- ence, and I've a mind not to tell you 6 word about it.” “If you don’t I'll think it is because it-is too bad to tell.” “O, you mean thing. But I must "tel somebody, and I know all your secrets, s9 you won't dare to tell.” “Go on, then; but don’t expect me to sym- pathize, . “Well, you know, I went with mamma te the dentist's today, and— “O, it was the dentist, was it?” Not at all. I had my lovely new stlver- handled umbrelia with me, and I leaned it against a chair in the waiting room, deter- mined not to Jose sight of it.

At last mamma came. As we went out I forgot my umbrella, and had to go back for it, and O, Dora, he started up and seemed about to speak, and I-just flew out to where mamma was wajting. I knew Id never hear the last of it if she caught pa ‘And serve you—” “O, and, Dora, when we got out I looked back, anc he actually following me.” “I hope you: ™ “I did until mamma told me.she was not walking for a wager, and at last he caught up to us and lifted his hat.” “What impudence? “He was holding out something to me and rdon, miss, but this ‘our umbrella, an ‘ou don't mean to say “I do. I had been carrying his cane down the street, and he had been chasing me te wet it back.” “Well, I never!” said the other girl. The Very Latest Lancheon Cloths. From the Philadelphia Times. Elaborate specimens are shown in the tea- cloths. They come in patterns from twenty- four inches to a vard and a balf square, and are exquisitely finished with white delicately tinted embroidery silks. Some decorated. Fleur-de-lis is a favorite design, Big flow- ers in the corners and a garland of blooms of the same species running about the edges, tied at intervals with bow-knots, may be seen upon iate modes. Doilies must be embroidered to match cloth. Colored sets are little used for breakfast or for ure White is much daintier and so has the preference. Monograms or initials grace both cloths and napkins. You must place monogram or letter, which should be from an inch to an inch and a half in length, upon one corner of the napkin, while for the ta’ cover the letter or letters must be three inches high and so placed that they will appear either inside the edge of the table after cover is Tran, m one corner. “Fleets of damask. as well as plain linen designed for luncheon cloths, are hemstitch- ed or trimmed with lace. Accompanying napkins are simply hemstitched. Mexican drawn work frequently appears above @ finish of knotted fringe. > it The Last of the Family. From the Boston Herald. There is a Boston family who prides itself in a strictly legitimate way, of course, in possessing @ geneological tree of admirable propertions. Fortune has, indeed, watered this “tree” for many years, and it has borne some distinguished fruit, with never a black sheep to render tradition uncom- fortable in the mouths of “limbs” that would be shouted from the housetop. And now the story goes that at Chrisimastide the head of this lucky family receivel a huge box, which, on opening, was found te contain @ beautiful “rubber plant,” with’ the names of every member of the family since time was writen on Its leaves, and om one, the topmost, and as yet unfolded, was tied a tiny porcelain infant with this iegend hanging on its neck: “I am the last of the —8, who never so tape nor peanuts, wes | never hanged and uever embezzied, but I | dare say I shall do it all ere I get through.” The “tree” has since been despoiled of its | verbal adornments, and the card of the wag | who sent the “joke” has been buried in the mold beneath with due solemnities, includ- “Perhaps the selfish- ness is principally in human nature.” ing the consumption of a “rabbit with the usual accompaniments,
