In this respect the arrangement 1s admirably ordered.

Her subject she announced as “The Political Situation Now Pressing Upon Us.” In beginning her remarks Mrs. Blake said that she felt no sympathy for the sentment which casts ignominy upon the olitician and teaches that the station of | jonor in the Republic is in private life. She always loved her country, and she always wanted to do her duty, and she grieved that she would not be allowed to register and vote. Very soon she hoped that every woman would have and then she will certainly do ber duty by regis- tering and voting. When Mrs. Blake had ceased speaking, Mr. J. K. H, Q- Wilcox, the President of the Young Men’s Woman Suffrage League, calied upon Mr. Oscan- | yan, long the Turkish Consul General in this | city, to say sometbing on the subject of woman suffrage, Mr. Oscanyan said; that, as an Oriental, he must oppose woman | suffrage. He argued from the conditions of some law of inheritance that woman is not half a man; she is less than half, He had faith ia the | virtue of Jock and key and thought it best to lock up women to keep them in sanctity and away from barm.
