MS (17 UL Oe f ea if WOOD is going to Albany next week to urge the Le lature to approve a constitutional amend- ment allowing women to vote. With Mrs. Johnston-Wood will be represented the Equal Franchise nan 4 nan = Society, whose president is Mrs. (a Clarence Mackay, whose husband nno he i 4 >, 1, nan iY is president of the Postal Tele- nnn 3 graph Company. There will also nan ; be President Frances Graham, of f ae % the Women’s Christin Jeimperance Union; President Caroline Lexow, $ of the Collegiate Equal Suffrage League; President Harriot Stanton Blatch, of the Equality League of Self-Supporting Women, and other n women of distinction in the suffrage movement and in other fieids. Many of these women would make excellent voters. They think They are interested in the welfare of mankind. They feel oppressed now, which should be the first prerequisite when it is proposed to ex- ; tend the suffrage to any class. The reason there has not been women’s suffrage long since is because many other women whose husbands are as prominent es Mr. Mackay or Mr. Villard, and who are as intelligent as Miss Shaw or Mrs. Shuler or Mrs. Johuston-Wood, are as much opposed to women’s voting as the distinguished and intelligent suffragists are in favor of ir. Whether women are to vote or not is a question to be decided ff, Lae ed LEItin— J. by women, not by men.

Neither should it be left as a proposition to he passed | ; upon solely by men voters to decide whether women are to hare the 5 suffrage or not. There should be a poll of the women themselves, In the State of New York there are about 2,000,000 women twen- ty-one years of age or older. Even if 200,000 of these women are in- terested in the suffrage question one way or another, that is only one-tenth. It is a hardship for suffragettes who are desirable voters not to be allowed to vote, but then there are many men who every year lose votes through the operation of the New York Constitution and elec- tion laws, Some young men of nineteen or twenty would make better voters than some older men of forty or fifty. Some men whose business keeps them away regis- tration days are good voters when they do vote, Some men by sick- ness ato prevented from regis- tering. A relaxation of the election laws would benefit more men in number than all the active wom- en suffragists. To allow women to vote nts are of @ bridal newness, would mean 4 broader change than the mere act of voting, As Mrs,|PUseT® & ltt Johnston-Wood says: “I believe every woman should work for her| daily maintenance in some way or another.” | Let tho issue be put aquarely that women shall compete on equal terms with men in business, politics and elsewhere, and then sec| whether or not the majority of women favor it, In Three Pairs Glowly, lovingly, tthe hole {s darned. jit is very Mkely they would go un- She sings while the darning {3 going on; THE SECOND P. jdarned altogether were !t not for the She «ha when it Is over.

G was born at Newburyport, Mass,, in 1844, He had Just finished hfs hizh schoo! course when the clvil war broke out, Throwing aside all hopes of further education or of business career, he enlisted as a private soldier and went at once to ine front. For the next four years he was with the army, He soon became a Heutenant In one of the negro regiments. Tiree times he was wounded, and for vallant service he rose to the rank ot brevet major of volunteers. After the war he was appointed a Heutenant {r the regular army and was attached to the Signal Corps. It was not unl 1881 that his great chance for distinction came. An International plan had been formed In 1879 to establish thirteen * stations for sclentific purposes. Greely was put In command of the expedition for this purpose, and started for the Arctic regions with utpment of sefentific instruments and enough food to The vessel that carried Greely and his party north the Proteus. ie and his men were landed at Discovery’ bor Ustitude S1 degrees 4 minutes north, longitude 65 dee’ tes west), Arrangements were made to send two Hef expeditions, in 1882 and 1883, Greely had orders, in case » 8 these expeditions should not reach him, to go southward along th coast not later than the autumn of 1833, Then the Proteus sailed away, leav- Ing the explorers to begin thelr worl reely's inves! “Farthest North!" | He discovered Lake Hazen, sixty miles two great m £,000 foot peak he named “Mount Arthur’) n laciers, rivers, &c, He also made countless valuable actentifle dis- © of his men planted "Old Glory” on a point of land farther north 1 trodden (83 degrees 24 minutes north, 40 degrees 45 not only determined the shape and locatien of Grinnell Greenland coast 1) miles northward of any previous ex- y turned south on Aug, 9, 1883, to meet the re- ogan. sent to his ald { van fo minutes west), and t but mapped th: {s work don: n 1882, but was halted by the Ice in search of him, The Prote' s burled where It w: treely and his men, Oct. 15, 168, had sen no sign of any reltet They could go no further. ‘Thelr food was tofany ald, The terrible Arctic winter was So next to do, prosy stared them {n the face, 1 formed rude winter ted, She food was gone, Of the twenty-five men, sixteen died er man was drowned.

Translated By Helen Rowland, ob0000 o, my Daughter, dost thou scorn a marriage G of conyenience? Then thou hast not tried an ORDINARY marriage, which is one of INCONs VENIENCE. For she that weddeth for a title may acquire @ Boni de Castellane, but she getteth the title, Yea, she that marryeth for money EARNETH it—but she getteth the | money. Verily she that weddeth for the sake of a home, or an income, or “Mra,” on her calling cards getteth that for which she bargaineth. But she that weddeth for LOVE getteth a GOLD BRICK! For she payeth for something which doth not extst; she dbuyeth watered | stock upon the margin; she bargaineth for poetry and passion and obtaine | eth naught but prose and cold potatoes; she weddeth for a lover—and gete | teth a boarder! Yea, she exchangeth pleasures jor duties, and amusements for regular meals and flirtations for arguments, and the attentions of many men for the inattention of one, Likewise the man that bargaineth for curls and kisses shall get curt papers and curtain lectures; but he that marryeth a stout widow with aw income getteth a comfortable home. For a love match {8 as a cream puff without cream inaide, or a dargatn. counter watch which will not go, It 4s as perpetual motion, or the millen= | nium, which are dreams and pretty theories; yea, it 1¢ a myth, even as Santa | Claus and Soctalism.
