Women Could
Force Men to Give
Them Equal
Suffrage.
By Mrs. OLIVER H. P. BELMONT. New York Society
Woman and Suffragist.
ILAVE betni in favor of woman suffrage all my life.
I do not understand how any woman who respects
her'!f :- ! r women can feel otherwise. Have
e-r been through a Turkish harem? Those
or, inuid, ignorant creatures WANT NOTHING
IETTER THAN WHAT TIIEY HAVE. The
point of view of the 'nti-suffragist is little better than that of the
harem.
Persma! ! I <!t nt neeil the suffrage. I would, of course, regard
the right to vo as :m ho)li r an(l a diIlitv. I believ-e it is the dutv
of everyv w:i wh h leiaure and11 wealth to WORK FOR TIE
ALLO)T r t!.r -N1*1:c who will iever get justice without it.
MEN WILL NEV. GIVE SUFFRAGE TO WOMEN OF THEIR
OWN ACCORD. WHY SHOULD THEY? IT IS THEIR LAST STRONG
HOLD. YEAR AFTER YEAR WOMEN HAVE BEEN GOING UP, UP,
AND rEN HAVE GOING DOWN.
Thivrv i-, , ( ,e way in xhlielb women could get the ballot
all over th %r* a 1 igt1?n mon 'tls, but they haven't the courage
to atteUlpt it. Thf: i l be too m1uch afraid of losing their chances

HIS QUESTION CF DIVORCE HAS GOT BEYOND THE CC.'
T1-L CF THE CHURCH. IT itAS GOT BEYOND THL-.
CCNTRCL OF 0CCIETY. IT MUST BE MADE A NATIONAL
IScUE, AND THERE MUST BE A NATIONAL DIVORCE LAW.
There is l:: ly no inctance in life where divorce may be called
5 CSTIFIA;LtE. Th ,-ho get it for any cause whatsoever are
c gi. The remarriage of divorced persons is no
marriae.
There are ease-, I frankly admit, where a legal separatiou is al
lowable, wier, even perhaps inevitable. If murderous mania develops
- in either wife or lu-band, if either one is habitually under the influ
ence of liepor, if ei: or is too impure to associate with purity-in all
these instan:-es the cy liing to do is to LIVE APART.
AMERIC/.., MEN AND WOMEN TODAY HIRE THEIR WIVES
AND HUSBANDS AS THEY HIRE THEIR CARRIAGES AND HORSES.
*THEREFORE IF THEY ARE NOT SsUITED THEY PROCEED TO HIRE

"Two balls!" Two players jump for
bats and begin swinging them; the
coachers, who have yelled only be
cause It was their duty, suddenly be
gin raging, screaming and pawing the
dirt, and the manager, who has ap
peared half asleep, makes a trumpet
of his hands and leads his men, bawl
ing loud orders and wild taunts.
The spectators do not understand
anything has happened. Other batters
have had two balls called many times,
and it looks the same to the spectator
who is beyond the mysterious "break"
sphere. In two more moments the
players' bench is a madhouse, with
twenty men shouting, screaming, or
dering. moving. "Three balls!" and a
iadian rushes out to the "deck."
"Four balls!" and the spectators join
the players in the demonstration. The
madness is spreading. Crack-a base
hit, a bunt, a wild throw; another
base lilt, screams, shouts, Impreca
tions, a roar of frantic applause, a
final long fly. The manager reaches,
for his glove, spits into It and says
quietly. "Four runs-we've got 'em.
The "break" is over, and the players'
bench is again the quietest part of
the grounds. The surge of enthusi
asm, confidence and noise subsides.
and the game is won.
1aseball is almost as much psycho
logical as athletic. Why one team can
beat a stronger one regularly and lose
to a weaker with the same regularity,
why one batter can hit one pitcher
and is helpless before another, why
one pitcher is effective against a
strong team and at the mercy of an
other that cannot bat half as hard,
are psychological problems.-AmerIcan

ap propria tedi by congress. General
Louis Wagne-r of P'hiladelphia conduct
ed the work of collecting the funds.
The mieimorial is the work of the noted
New York sculptor J. Massey Rthind.
Th le origin of the G. A. R., dates

south w-ere still engaged in struggle.
Major Stephenson w~as born in Wayne
county, ill., in 1822 and was a grad

elected its surgeon. Another man was
imu.ter-ed into the position, though
G-neral Stephenson had been unani
mously elected by the officers and en
listed meni of the regiment under the
laiws of Ill'inois.
Later' Dr. Stephenson was appointed
regimental sur-geon of the reiment.
and he was mustered in at Pittsburg
Landinig April 7, 1802. He served his
termn of three years and was mustered
out Junie 24, 1864.
The F'ourteenth Illinois was a part
of toe Meridian expedition. In the long
wtches of the nights, upon the march
and in the bivouac Chaplain W. J. Rut

tile fact that soldiers w~hen mustered
out of service naturally desire some as

memories of comm:on.trials and dan

thoughots expanded into the widest
lls of conjetuire as to the capacity
for good in such an organizationi of
vete-ranls, and they agreed that if they
wer'e spar'ed they would together work
ouit somre such project. It was in this
way that the order which has since
come to be such a notent one arose.
SCHOOL'S_GOOD ANGEL
J. W. Harriman Aids Old "Prep'
Institution With $150,000.
SOUGHT TO HIDE HIS GIFTS
New Yorker Revealed as Mysteriout
Donor to the Cheshire School Ir
Connecticut-J. P. Morgan Wa
Trained There-His Pranks Recalled
Mr. Harriman's Peculiar Experience
Many a millionaire has remembered
his college alma mater in substainti:i
endowments, but It remained f,r Jo
seph W. Harriman of New York vity
to remember his "prep" school with
several thousands.
For months it has been a nys,ry
where Cheshire schoo!. the Episco:1:l
academy of Connecticut. was reeiv
ing the large amounts expended en
new buildings and in renovation of
structures standing since its fou.:a
tion in 1794-an amount upward of
$150,000.
It was learned the other day that
the entire sum was from Mr. llarri
man, who entered the school at the age
of nine and left in 1880. A reporter
taxed him with it at his oiice.
"I guess I'll have to admit that I am
the 'angel,'" he said, "although I
hoped to keep in the background. I
know bow much I owe to the training
I had in that dear old fashioned 'prep'
when my father took me there years
ago, a motherless 'kiddie.''
A natural next question was why Mr.
E[arriman had taken the unusual
course of looking after the welfare of
his preparatory school instead of his
college.
"I found they were drifting because
they lacked funds and equipment."
said Mr. IIarriman. who is a nephew
of Edward 11. fIarriman. "It seemed
to me that a school that prepared for
college men like J. I'lerpont Morgan.
General Alexander Perry. the late
General Joe Wheeler, James B. Dill.
Bishop Lines, Ernest Flagg. Dr. IIol

should not be permitted to go to de
cay. I never gave any money that
brought more satisfaction than seeing
the old school re-established, and I
guess they know I propose to see the
thing through."
"Joe" 11arriman, as he is known
tmong the Cheshire alumri. j.st as
Mr. Morgan is known as "Ponty." had
a peculiar experience at the school. ie
was taken in after his mother's death
at an age several years below the
minimum. There was one other "haby"
there-C!inton Peters, the artist. who
has since ben honored by the acad
emy in Paris and who has a studio in
New York.
The older boys would not play with
them, and Peters and Harriman had
to make their own amusement. They
became chums, only to drift apart
when Peters was sent abroad to study.
They discovered each other a few
ears ago, and out of the reunion camne
a renewed interest in the old school.
hey went to Cheshire. and Mir. HIar
iman's decision to rehabilitate the In
titution was made onI tihe spot. A
few days ago they returned to cele
rate the one hundred and fifteenth
ommencement of the institution.
here were 300 of the old boys in at
endance.
The most notable event was the re
urn of the old bell which had served
n a Spanish miission andl had beeu
eized in Connecticut fronm a Spanish
essel. The school got a ntew bell in
180 when Trinity coilege, at IIart
ford, was being improv-ed, and the old
elt was given to a church at B:':an
ford, Conn. Thence It went to another
hurch at Southington. Herbert I)
loyd, treasurer of the school, traced
he bell, and WX'iliam C. lie'gerest of
he class of '75 provided the funds for
ts recovery.
A number of stories about 3Mr. Mor
an's schooldays were retold at the
ommencement. iIe was alt in his

MILLIONS OF BOOKS
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS A STORE.
HOUSE OF KNOWLEDGE.
Greatest in World with Exception of
British Museum-Fascinating
Spot for Visitors to Na
tion's Capital.
The library of congress is the most
fascinating spot in the United States
for tourists. More than 1,000,000 peo
lile visit it annually. The vast ma,
jority of these are only sight-seers,
but thousands come seeking informa,
tion, for this institution has grown un
til it has come to be the greatest
storehouse of knowledge in the world
with the exception of the British mu
seum. Everything that has ever been
printed on any subject may be found
there. It is an institution of which
the whole country should be proud,
and evidently is proud. The national
capital makes comparatively smal
use of the library, 'for it has its own
public library-one of the most com
plete in the country-from . which
books may be taken.
While congress treats the library
with liberality, it does not treat it as
liberally as Great Britain treats the
British museum. It Is the ambition of
Herbert Putnam, the librarian of con
gress, to make the American library
as great an institution as the British
museum. 'Such eminence can only
be reached," says he, "provided the
general outlay, shall as in the case of
the 1iritiEh museum, be supplemented
by individuals. Local institutions
have the first claim to private contri
bution for land, for buildings, for the
material for popular education. But
the national library should have the
first claim with any citizen of the
United States who owns material of
Interest to the highest scholarship,
particularly if it relate to the origin
and progress of this country."
There is one division of the 'library
wl'ich is distinct in character and has
no parallel In other libraries. This is
the copyright office. It is under a reg
ister of copyrights who, under the di
rection of the librarian, performs, with
a special force, all the duties relating
ro copyrights. The nu.nber of entries,
and with them the volume of the
copyright business in general, grows
at the rate of ten per cent, a year.
The copyright office earns a revenue
to the government. It is the privilege
of the library proper to make requisi
tion upon the copyright office for any
copyrighted material which may be
useful to its purpose as a library.
What it does not draw remains in the
files of the copyright office in a die
tinct portion of the building.
The material ini the special divisions
of the library is preserved and
handled according to its special needs.
For the manuscripts there are not
merely specially locke't cases, but
steel safes for the collection, which,
while not a large one, includes ma
terial of inestimable value. The col
lection of the Marquis De Rocham
beau, for instance, including 300 man
uscript maps of the revolution; the
papers of Paul Jones, in 12 volumes;
the records of the Virginia company,
from 1621 to 1682; the journal of
Washington on the Braddock expedi
tion, his diary of the federal conven
tion, his orderly books and military
journals, and various other manu
'cripts, including the original mate
rialfor the Force archives, in 365 folio
volumes. Among other manuscripts
of special note are 36 volumes record
ing the testimony as to royalist
claims, taken before the commission
ers at Halifax, after the revolgtf on.
With a few exceptions,- thee entire
collection relates to the eighteenth
century. A great many of the indi
vidual manuscripts, being frayed and
delicate, have to be repaii'ed and re
enforced. Two repairers are constant
ly at work j~n"hese. The material
used ip.chiefly crepeline, a transpar
ent sdik, which i pasted over the face
ef the manuscript, front and back,
stifffning and protecting, without ob
scu1jn It.

commissioner of in

revenue is in the ju

may be increased in
case of the passage

Miss Katherine Elkins, whose affair
with the Duke of the Abruzzi attract
ed so much attention awhile ago, finds
it very difficult now to keep out of
print. When she sailed for Europe a
short time since she took every precau
tion to avoid publicity on the trip, but
to no purpose. Although her name and
that of her mother were kept off the
passenger list, those on board the Lap
land, on which she sailed from New
York for Antwerp, were soon aware of
her identity. They evinced consider
able curiosity regarding the relations
existing between her and Mr. William
Hitt, son of the late Congressman Hitt
of Illinois. It has more than once
been rumored that young Mr. Hitt
stood higher in Miss Elkins' affections
than the Italian nobleman, who is now
In the Himalayas nursing the wounds
to his heart and trying to forget his
American romance In the wild life
of the highest mountains of the world.
On the way across the Atlantic Mr.
Hitt was so devoted to Miss Elkins
that fellow passengers were convinced
rsS HERmn(E LI.N
there must be an engagement between
them. On the other hand, some ad
vanced the theory that Miss Elkins' be
havior to Mr. Bitt was only a Wgind
intended ., uistract attention from real
plans to meet her royal admirer some
where in Europe. She was dressed
very simply on board and seemed In
the best of health and spirits. She
took with her to Europe her own mfo
torcar and an American chauffeur to
run it for her in trips a,bout the coun
tries she will visit in her journeyings
