BtRDSALL A MILITANT SUFFRAGETTE Mrs. Pankhurst has arrived. The aggressive leader of the English suffragettes has come to America to confer with the leaders of the woman suffrage cause In this country, to hearten them, and In turn be heartened herself. She will speak in public, and of course to large audiences. She la at ease on the platform, and at home has a reputation for great energy 'and directness of statement. If whe succeeds on this side she will return to her own people stronger than ever. This English woman Is of the militant school. She has suffered for her cause, and is willing to suffer more. Hor idea is war, and war to the hatpin. She feels that she is dealing not only with a difficult situation, but with an obstinate foe.' The English man in office who is opposed to woman suffrage Is very "set" in that attitude, and, according to the Pankhurst view, needs to be jarred. Now Jarring such an official calls for heroic means. So far, the cause In this country has been conducted on different lines. Force and fury have not been resorted to. Over here, executives and lawmakers are very approachable. It is not necessary to threaten to lynch congress to obtain a hearing for a proposition. Of course a hearing is one thing and action quite another, but after a hearing, whether favorable or unfavorable, the case is closed. In case of defeat, there is no appeal to a mob gathered for the purpose in the capitol grounds, and no cordon of police V is drawn around either of the white house or the speaker's residence. What. then, will be the effect of Mrs. Pahkhurst's visit! "' Will the American leaders be converted to the cause militant, or Mrs. Pankhurst to the cause persuasive? Or will it be agreed that action in both countries shall continue as at present force and fury for the stubborn Britisher, and argument and persuasion for the amiable American? Mrs. Pankhurst met the interviewer at the dock, and replied to some queer questions. She could see no reason for bloodshed. Who can! Why bloodshed? American women have no thought of becoming ."pistol toters." We have enough of that on the part of men: i and women have been the most -vigorous of all those protesting the evil practice- Besides, a' woman would be at a disadvantage in warfare of that kind. Before she could possibly find ner pocket and draw, her t

enemy would have gone straight to his, and dropped her.

No bloodshed. Suffrage floated through on a flood of gore would bej too expensive. Mrs. Pankhurst, we may all be sure, will not use her influence to arm her American sisters. Washington Star. Items Gathered in From Far and Near Progress of Divorce. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. Whether one is or is not proud of our divorce record depends wholly upon his point of view. If he believes that no couple should live together after the first petty quarrel of married life and should have an easy chance to make another experiment, he will be gratified to know that we are progressing rapidly toward that end; that now there is a divorce to about every ten marriages and that, in the course of the lives of living men, if the ratio is kept up the man who has never had but one wife will be looked upon as a phenomenon and a social pariah. On the contrary, if he still believes that there is some sanctity in the home and that the future of the country depends upon the maintenance of the family as the unit of society, h-s will be much perturbed by the statistics which show that the divorce evil is growing rapidly. In the last twenty years there have been almost thirteen million marriages reported in this country and almost a million divorces. But the discouraging feature is that the ratio of divorces to marriages in creases every year. The situation is best in the south, where divorce is very uncommon, is impossible in the state of South Carolina and is frowned upon socially elsewhere below Mason's and Dixon's line; it is at its worst in the west, where it seems as if marriage were almost a mockery and where, in fact, it has come near to being nothing more than licensed polygamy. San Francisco. From the New York World. In the Portola festival San Francisco has reproduced our Hudson-Fulton celebration on perhaps a smaller scale, but amid associations which give to the California Jubilee a livelier tingo of romance through its suggestion of Spanish discovery and conquest and of friars who planted the faith along with the vine and the oljve and left their picturesque mission architecture as ;i lasting monument. But the San Francisco to which the nation yesterday drank a toast Is the younger city which has grown into greatness since the Gringo came, a city of yet greater romantic interest than any the Spaniard gave it as the goal of the Argonauts and the home of the bonanza kings: the city or Bret Harte and the heathen Chinee, the city of the sand lots and of municipal corruption and purification, now celebrating its rebirth after its prostration by fire and the elements. It well deserves the nation's congratalatlons on its marvelous regeneration. San Francisco in its rise from its . ashes has given an exhibition of Ivic spirit than which there Is no finer example in American annals. Full Weight. From the Providence Journal. The health of the people is the first consideration of pure food and drxix legislation. A money's worth package is the second. Notoriously, manufacturers maintain a strange fiction as to weights and measures. A quart, for instance, for certain purposes is not a quart according to the approved standard for general purposes. The "trade" is familiar with the practice, and to some extent, the public also. How it originated or why it should be persisted in is not manifest. Certain products are put out in "full quarts" or "a pound, full weight," such terms indicating an exception to the practice of passing off something less than a quart or a pound with a trade nomenclature which seems quite senseless, since in many cases it does not appear that there is an excess purpose to deceive. The distinction perhaps finds its parallel in such terms as "fresh" and "strictly fresh" eggs. TWINKLES (By Philander Johnson.) A Lecturer's Appreciation.

May Appoint Ireland a Cardinal

Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, Minn., who may be one of the two Cardinals to be appointed to the sec ond consistory to be held next Spring. According to recent dispatches from Rome, the Pope has changed his mind, and instead cf waiting until Spring to hold a consistory, decided to held one in the middle of December and another in the spring. The reason for holding the two consistories is the purpose of appointing as Cardinals at the second consistory certain prelates who cannot be included in the first. The appointment of a new American Cardinal is rumored. The candidacy of Archbishop Ireland is looked upon with favor, it is said, and it is not impossible that L will be named us a member of the Curia and therefore be called to Rome.

MISSED A TRAIN: THEN WERE HURT

Two Traveling Men Believe Themselves the Victims of Fate. WERE INJURED ON FRIDAY MISSED FIRST TRAIN FROM HERE TO CINCINNATI, THEN TOOK THE ILL-FATED PASSENGER TRAIN NO. 18. D. H. Miller of New York City and O. Twite-bell of Cleveland, Ohio, who were passengers on passenger train No. IS, which was wrecked at Collinsville Friday afternoon, boarded the train at the local depot. Both hold fate responsible for the fact that they were on the train. Besides these two. Samuel Friedman of Cincinnati, and Fred E. Graf, also of Cincinnati, had been in this city for several days during the week and were enroute home to spen l Sunday. The four men were among the passengers who were slightly, although painfully injured. Mr. Miller is a well known salesman, having been a frequent visitor to this city for several years. He had intended to leave for Cincinnati on the .":1." p. m.. fast train. He was talking to a friend and overlooked the fact that it was near train time. He missed the bus from the Westcott hotel, where he was stopping. He probably could have caught the train if he had made an effort, as he had five minutes in w-hich to do so. However, he decided he would wait for No. IS. and is now cursing his luck, that he did not make an attempt to catch the earlier train. Mr. Miller was slightly cut about the head. He Is Superstitious. O. Twitchell of Cleveland, Is a young man, and according to information received here, he told a friend after the wreck that he had an inherent superstition about traveling on Friday. H? never makes a long trip on that dav when he can avoid it. Mr. Twitchell was one of the passengers who was rather seriously injured. He was much shaken up and suffered a number of bruises. Mr. Twitchell had been stojping at the hotel for two days, calling upon local merchants who handle goods in his line, Mr. Friedman and Mr. Graf, the two Cincinnati men who were injured about i the face and head by falling glass, had been in this city a few days. Both of ( the men have been making this city ; regularly for a number of years. Much anxiety was felt for their safety by their local friends when the first news of the wreck was received. EXHILARATING SPORT. Dog Driving Over the Ice and Snow of Labrador.

Phone 1213 These Gool Mornings

Business Review of The Past Week by Henry Clews

New York. Oct. 25. The stock market has been entirely overshadowed by the activity of steel issues. The steel industry is still phenomenally active, far exceeding in this respect any previous period in its history. Our railroads are heavy buyers of materials because improvements postponed during the panic are now being carried to completion. Traffic is steadily growing, and railroads are fully occupied in meeting both present and future demands. Such conditions are especially favorable to distribution of b!g blocks of steel shares held by the big pyndicates and pools which have been behind recent manipulations. The fact cannot be concealed that these pools are distributing their steel as fast as the market will assimilat? it. It is the habit of those who are conducting this campaign to let the public buy their surplus stocks when prices and prosperity are at the high level; and when this campaign is finished its history, if ever written, will prove it to have been one of the most remarkable and most skillfully conducted on record. Activity in steel shares is not confined to New York, but is evident in all parts of the world, indicating a wideness in. distribution among investors which has never bo- , - attempt to forecast the course of these securities in view of the now .erful manipulation behind them; nev- . " , -w- " i x-u1'' cu !" , and "'ety should permit. The vance has been predicted upon a bej cenu An-V ,r-ner increase wouia sim ' P ext-lie Ulbiru&l. excite distrust, and induce ths public to believe that the management were more concerned with the are even more indifferent to the market at this level, their attitude beins emphasized by the dull and declining condition of the bond market. A good many bonds are being sold by institutions and others who made temporary investments when money commanded only 2 and 3 percent These parties now rind better employment ,or tnelr funds and are letting go their bonds accordingly. The firmness of money bas had a distinctly restraining! effect upon the stock market. The ad- j vance in the Bank of England rate to ! 5 percent emphasizes the world-wide ' hardening of money rates, and was intended as a serious warning against excessive speculation; a warning that: should and mnst be heeded whether! we like it or not. For some time past j London has been applying the brakes ! in this respect, and the result has J been to materially restrain reckless operations. While firm money is probable for some time to come there is no reason for anticipating special strintheir maximum; in a few weeks they j will begin to diminish, and with aotual marketing of the crops funds will ; start on the return to New York. Under ordinary circumstances we should be approaching a season of! gold, imports; but an outflow of gold is more probable at the moment than an Inflow, owing to foreign opposition to speculative movements- here. The possibility of an inward movement has been materially diminished by our short cotton crop and the high prices for grain and meat products; although as far as making exchange Is concerned the increase in valaes may somewhat compensate for the loss in quantities. Our imports continue heavy. September amounting to $121,000,000, the largest of any September on record. It is encouraging to note that

727 Mala Street

A. & P. Coffees GOOD our exports for September were also the largest on record for that month, amounting to nearly $154,000,000. The result was an excess of exports amounting to $33,000,000, compared with an excess of over $40,000,000 ft year ago. On the other hand, since January 1 the excess of exports has amounted to only $92,000,000. compared with $432,000,000 the same time last year. It will take, therefore, some length of time to recuperate from the serious setback which our foreign trade received during the current year. Much of the recent Increase ln both Imports and exports must be attributed to anticipation of effects of the maximum and minimum clauses of the new tariff, the application of which is already threatening serious friction with France, Germany and other countries. Since our foreign trade Is not upon a normal basis it Is difficult to forecast Its outcome, though it Is easy to see that conditions are much less favorable for gold imports than a year ago. We are already heavily Indebted to Europe, while London, Amsterdam and other foreign centers have been active sellers of our securities during tbe past week. Some Important new security issues are pending, notably, the Pennsylvania issue, and a considerable portion of these will be placed abroad, thus helping offset our current Indebtedness. London Is already shipping gold to various parts of the world In settlement of British imports and will be corres'iondingly less inclined to send the precious metal here unless obliged by conditions more favorable to us than now exist, HENRY CLEWS.
