MARRIED

WOMEN

OF GREAT BBITi They Have Been Given Advice To This End by Miss Mary Higgs and Dr. Mary Murdoch, Well Known Leaders. SHOULD BAND TOGETHER TO PROTECT INTERESTS. Mrs. Creighton Created Sensation by Declaring Herself A New Woman Mme. Sarah Bernhardt Won't Retire. (By Richard Abercorn.) London, Nov. 1G. Although these are the days of trade unions, it comes, rather unexpected that the married women of Great Britain are apt to form a union of their own, acting upon the advice given them the other day, by Miss Mary Higgs and Dr. Mary Murdoch at the Congress of National Union of Women Workers. Miss Mary Higgs, who was greeted with applause, prophesied that within a very short time we should see in this country a war between the two sexes, and asked if men were to become mere parasites. "All the married women of the world are wage earners, although many of them do not realize it," Dr. Mary Murdoch said; "and if these women will not band themselves together to protect their own interests something must be done to make them work less, bo that future generations may gain in physic and general health." At the meeting the firt steps were taken toward the formation of the new union, and if one is to judge from the enthusiasm with which it was received we are apt to hear more of it within a very short time. Mrs. Creighton, widow of the late Bishop of London, created a mild sensation the other day at a women's conference by declaring herself to be "a new woman," until she explained just why she had adopted this term for hereelf. "I am a new woman inasmuch as I have long realized that it is necessary for women of today to take more inter est in public affairs than hitherto," Mrs. Creighton said, "and I cannot strongly enough condemn women who stop developing their character after marriage, thus having been provided for; they do not think they have any other aim in life than to dress well and to look pleasant. "We all know this kind of women. They do not come to our conferences, they are comfortably stout, they have smooth faces and they wear mantles and bonnets with nodding plumes. "In the faces of the women who tome to our conferences there is at any rate plenty of character. What Should we say about charm? A horrible fear sometimes seizes me lest it should not bo possible for a woman to be energetic, capable, active and also have charm. "The time has passed when women grew old. With increased interest in life we have prolonged life, and woman of today is at her best for active work at forty. Our grandmothers took ft cap and an armchair at that age." During her recent visit to London Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, the famous actress, gave the lie to the rumor that Bhe intended to retire from the stage at the end of this season. "I cannot conceive what my life would be without work," the actress eaid, "and I have never said anything which might be construed as meaning that I intend to retire. It may, of course, be my last season, for I realize that 1 am an old woman and my life is In God's hands, but as long as I am living I shall continue to work, and I can think of no more beautiful death than that which came to Sir Henry Ir ving, who died in harness." Mme. Sarah Bernhardt celebrated her sixty-third birthday about two weeks ago, but on the stage she is still able to look like a woman of thirty, and she plays with agility and enthusiasm of a girl in the twenties. A millionaire socialist Is one of the candidates In the coming municipal elections in Glasgow. Inis unique position is held by James A. Allan, of the Allan Steamship line, who has hitherto taken no part in politics, but was known to hold somewhat advanced views. Owing to his great wealth which he advertises by driving to socialist meetings in a splendid automobile. Mr. Allan is not so popular with the electors as the other socialist candidates, who are mostly working men. Explaining the inconsistency of his position as a socialist and capitalist. Mr. Allan said: "It is impossible for! any one to practice socialism by himself, as socialism necessarily implies a fundamental change iu the social system. "I am willing to hand over my prop erty to the nation as soon as the state ! is organized to receive it. I know my position as an employer of labor and socialist Js contradictory, but under x the existing system a man cannot con-: tinue to be an employer of labor with-! out profiting from the exploitation of labor. All he can do Is to secure fair conditions for his, employes. The fashionable woman now wears her watch on her finger. Tiny jeweled j

watches fitted on a ring are the latest novelty in ornaments and are superceding the bracelet watch in the equipment of smart women. Although the ring watch is necessarily a pretty bulky ornament for the finger, It is so delicately made that it looks neither ostentatious nor cumbersom. For outdoor use it i3 worn outside the glove. Ring watches may be had in any number of styles, such as plain gold, filigree or expanding chain for the ring itself, while the watch it carries

may be plain gold, engraved or gem ! studded, or again, enameled. The cost of one of these dainty watches. which are of Swiss manufacture, and perfect time keepers, is from $100 and upward, according to tLo mounting. Australia has a coal trust which is arousing public resentment by its ef-, forts to confine the trade to particular channels. The "Vend," as it is called, has. made an agreement withe Union Steamship company of New Zealand to restrict the coal carrying trade between the two colonies tn the compa ny's ships. Great injury is done to j Independent merchants and shipping I companies by this monopoly. The "Vend" has force I the price of 1 coal up in the customary style of! trusts, but hitherto has escaped seri ous censure by its astuteness in mak-1 ing bargains with the laoor unions! whereby labor shares in each increase of its prosperity. But the deal with the steamship company has called forth bitter protests from rival trade interests. TREACHERY CAUSE OF MOST PAINFUL (Continued From Page Three.) tion, the influx of lepers into France is continually increasing. "There are in Paris at the present moment between 160 and 200 lepers. There are always about a dozen cases at the St. Louis hospital and in less than ten years I have been able to study nearly eighty cases which have come from countries that are notoriously leprous." In France leprosy is not among the illnesses which have to be compuisorily declared. Thus the doctor is tied by the professional secret and can only give the patient more or less iutile advice to avoid contaminating his neighbors. There is therefore nothing to prevent the leper, who is free, to go about spreading contagion all around him at home, in the restaurant, in trains, carriages, in the hotels. Two young lepers were known recently to be studying in a school near Paris. The only way, of course to avoid leprosy in Paris is to stamp it out in the colonies ; and this is a matter surrounded with immense difficulties. M. Louis Madeleine, a former pupil of the School of Charts, and of the French school at Rome, now a rlnrtnr j of the latter, is sailing for America j shortly to give a series of lectures unjder the auspices of the Alliance . Francaise. j M. Madeleine Is well known in France for his historical works, and especially for his book on the "Rela- ' tions of Church and State" and j "Fouche," the famous prefect of police under Napoleon, whom he has in a measure whitewashed. The subject of M. Madeleine's lectures in New York will be "Napoleon and the Empress Josephine"; at Chicago he will treat of "Napoleon as Man of Action and Professor of Energy"; at Washington the "Administration of Napoleon"; at San Francisco "Marshals and Generals of Napoleon"; at Los Angeles "The Soldiers of Napoleon." M. Madeleine will also lecture at New Orleans, Boston and Philadelphia, his subjects being Murat, Mme. Roland and the Glrondins, the women of the revolutions, the French School at Rome, etc. One of the most interesting productions at the Paris theatres in the new ly opened season is the poetical drama , of M. Jean Aicard, "Le Manteau du i Roi," at the Porte St. Martin Theatre, ; in which M. Jean Coquelin appears as a buffoon and M. de Max as a king of heroic romance. It is a poetical-phil-) osophlcal play full of beautiful verse. M. Aicard, who is one of the younger rank of poets, is a kind of disciple of Sully-Prudhomme, and in his childhood knew and was much influenced by Lamartine. He is now a candidate for one of the vacant seats at the French Academy and will very likely be elected. WONDERS OF ELECTRICITY! APPENDICITIS Now cured without an operation.

BETWEEN SERVTCETTIECr UT and Far Between. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 16. For the second time in seven months, Louisville is suffering from a streetcar strike, the 850 union employes of the Louisville Railroad company having walked out yesterday morning. The first day of the strike, however, was cot marked by anything approaching the disorder that attended the strike last April, and when the partial service furnished during the day was discontinued at nightfall only twenty arrests had been made, virtually all of them for "disorderly conduct," which charge covered mainly the throwing of an occasional brick or jeering at the non-union men. The company operates, on a normal basis, between 600 and 700 cars. It was announced by the officials that when service was suspended last evening they had forty cars running. Only about a dozen cars were run during the morning and only a few passengers were carried during the day. The service was suspended at nightfall in order to give the police a rest, the entire force having been on duty for over twenty-four hours. Five hundred strike-breakers arrived during the day from Chicago and Indianapolis, and 200 more are expected today. Adding to these 200 nonunion employes who did not go out, the company officials claim they will tomorrow have about a full force and will give practically a normal service. The strikers claim to have won over a number of non-union men during the day. All talk of mediation or conciliation has been abandoned and the affair Is regarded as a finish fight by the public as well as by the strikers and company officials. Working on Powers Jury.

8TH AND NINTH ON MAIN ST.

MRS. BRADLEY INSANE? Thla la What Her Lawyers Will Attempt to Prove to Jury. Washington, Nov. 16. That the defense of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley, on trial in criminal court No. 1 on the charge of murdering former United States Senator Arthur Brown of Utah, would be insanity, was made evident beyond question by the preliminary statement made to the court by her attorney, Mr. Hoover, who, in his preliminary outline for the defense, detailed the principal events of Mrs. Bradley's life and entered minutely into the circumstances of her intimacy with Mr. Brown, saying that it would be proved that she was completely under his domination, and forecasting testimony which would be adduced to show that she was mentally irresponsible when she fired the fatal shot. He also said that it would be shown that Mr. Brown had performed more than one criminal act on her with his own Bands and that he had presented her with the pistol with which she killed him, telling her that she should use It on his wife if she gave her trouble. According to Mr. Hoover's statement it will be shown that there is a taint of insanity In Mrs. Bradley's family. The testimony presented by the prosecution was all intended to show premeditation on the part of Mrs. Bradley in killing Senator Brown. It was stated that she had told members of the police force in this city immediately after her arrpst that she had not acted on any sudden impulse, and one witness from Salt Lake city was introduced to testify to the circumstance that she had told him some six months before the tratredy that she Intended to kill Mr. Brown if he did not legitimatize her children by marrying her. Another witness from that city told of two efforts by Mrs. Bradley to invade Mr. Brown's house supposedly with hostile intent. It is understood that the state will stubbornly antagonize Mrs. Bradley's plea of insanity. WIllcox Declared Guilty. Columbus. O., Nov. 16. William WIllcox, former superintendent of the municipal lighting plant, was found guilty by a jury last night on the charge of defrauding the city out of $1,170 in complicity with William B. Moore, a lumber agent, by collecting money for poles which were not delivered. Moore, who is now serving four years in the penitentiary, confessed that he and WIllcox had divided the money.
