Miss Georgia Alexander Says Enfranchised Wives Will

inate Fighting, Had the women of Europe known tolitical conditions they would have reared a race of men who would nave Bettled disputes without war. This was the argument of Miss Alexander for suffrage. "Women suffrage is coming. I predict there is going to come in the next few years a federal amendment giving women the right to vote. I do not believe we will get it during this congress but I do believe we will get it In the near future." Prof. Prank G. Pickell, principal of

the Richmond High school, introduced Miss Alexander. "This is one of the most significant meetings," he said "that you have had in this or any other Chautauqua. I believe it to be the first meeting in which equal suffrage has been discussed. Miss Alexander is supervising principal of instruction in the Indianapolis public schools and is a member of the state board of the Indiana Suffrage League. She began by saying that the ptate organization is counting upon this part of the state to give a majority to the cause. "In due time," she said, "you will have a chance to vote on it not only in Indiana but in the

country. And we are going to get u. No Demand Exists. "I am glad President Wilson turned down the women who asked him to take a stand for suffrage. I am sure he believes in it but that he thinks the time is not yet right for it. In other words, there is not a demand for it. This means we women must create that demand and I am asking you this afternoon to help do that. "Every woman Is a mother potential. Never was there a great man beside whom there was not a mother standing from beginning to the end. "One of the things that makes me ead about this European war is that while men have made the weapons, women have made the men. Science Will be put back a century by that struggle I am sure that if women understood the economic and political

1 conditions better, they would nave brought up a generation of men that could have settled their differences other than by war. "One of the things that discourages us in Indiana is that conditions I In this state are so good. Women have so many rights here which they do not have in other states, they do not (feel that spirit of rebellion which has driven them to storm for suffrage in lless fortunate commonwealths. As Charity Dye said the other day, Indiana will be the last to come in. Needs Constitution. "Indiana needs more than anything

else a new constitution. October 17 will be constitutional convention day and I hope you will do all you can on that day to agitate in favor of suffrage. With our present constittuion, the law is that a new amendment cannot be considered so long as an old one is pending. The lawyers have an amendment which has been hanging Are for twenty odd years. In this way, they have plugged up the avenue to us women and it looks impossible for us to have the question put to a vote so long as the present constitution stands. "There are two reasons why I want woman suffrage. One is that I must protect myself, as a wage earner and as a tax-payer. Why is it that women teachers do not receive as much pay as men teachers, even though they do ;the same work? Many teachers in this country get less money than it costs to keep a prisoner in the county pail. "Some say that women are gossiper8 and deceivers and superficial and that, therefore, they would not be able to discharge the duties of the franchise. Women are no worse than men in this regard. It is simply their environment that has made them so. We have an ever growing class of women In our present day society who are parasites. They live without work and by the inevitable law of nature are consequently degenerating.

AFRICA TO BECOME C0MMERCE CENTER Dr. Colledge Describes Possibilities of Continent Explored With Stanley. After an hour's concert by Runge's Orchestra, during which Miss Large

recited, Dr. W. A. Colledge delivered a lecture on "Tropical Africa." Dr. Colledge was with Henry M. Stanley thirty years ago and spoke from his own experience, his lecture being largely taken up with describing events of his historical journey. After paying' a tribute to Stanley, who, he said, was much more than a mere adventurer, he described the greatness and promise of Africa, and prophesied that some day the commercial center of gravitation of the world will be shifted when the vast markets of the continent are opened up to civilization. He said that the early explorer into Africa carried along with him a large quantity of beads, calico and brass wire, these articles being used as money.

Praises Missionaries. "I have heard some criticism of missionaries. Perhaps some of these criticisms are true but so far as my own experience and observation goes, I can not speak of the African missionary except in the highest praise. In many of the districts that I covered in my travels, I found where mission stations had transformed native life for a radius of two hundred miles.

"The natives of tropical Africa depend on rice, maize and bananas for food. In religion some worship idols and others the departed spirits of their parents or ancestors. Wives usually are purchased, one I saw being bought

for five yards of calico. When a man is accused of a crime, a witch doctor is called in to act as

makes a potion of vegetable poison and gives it to the accused person to drink. The rule is that if the drink kills the man, he is guilty; if he lives, he is innocent. "I found on some of the rivers a system of wireless telegraphy well carried out. A man would anchor his boat in mid-stream and then beat a signal on a drum. This would be taken up by another five miles up the river, who would relay it on to the next and so on until the message reached its destination. "The elephant has kept back the agricultural development of Africa. For many years his tusks have been so val

uable the natives have preferred hunting ivory to cultivating the soil. But the elephant will soon be extinct.

duty it Is to Issue the official investments, was not in Rome then. A movement has been started among the so-called political cardinals to have the Holy See appeal to the

governments of the countries now at war, to declare a truce while the next pope Is being elected. According to the traditions of the church, the conclave should open ten days after the death of the pope, but

in the present instance it may be de

layed a few days owing to the war.

Many names were today added to the possible candidates, who were mentioned yesterday, among them the name of Cardinal Agllardi, an Italian, whose election is urged for two reasons. . First, because he is an Italian and thus not only sustains the traditions of the church, but also represents a neutral power; secondly, because he would prove a strong flgure in any attempt that may be made to effect a reconciliation between the Vatican and the Italian government during the next pontifical administration. Other Candidates. Among the others are Cardinal Cajetan De Lai, secretary of the consistorial congregation; Cardinal Pietro Maffi, archbishop of Pisa, Cardinal Di Belmonte, the Neaopolitan who was raised to the holy see two years ago, and Cardinal Lauldi.

Cardinal Vannutelli, whose journey from Naples was Interrupted by the explosion of a bomb on his train, ar

rived at the Vatican before noon. Car

dinal Vannutelli is almost blind and is

suffering from nervous prostration which was aggravated by the death of Pope Pius X, and by the attending

journey to Rome.

Cardinal Vannutelli, who is dean of the sacred college, may not be able to fulfill the functions of his high office, owing to his physical condition. In such event his place will be taken by Cardinal Agliardi the sub dean. Another powerful prelate, who is suffering from illness is Cardinal Martinelli, because his mind is affected he may not be able to vote, if he attends the conclave. Body Rests in St. Peter's. Clad in the gorgeous vestments of the pontificate, the body of Pope Pius X, late sovereign pontiff of the Ro

man Catholic church, was borne to St. Peter's cathedral today, where it will lie in state Until it is finally placed in its final resting place, above the massive bronze door at the west wing of the Vatican. . The frail limbs were hidden beneath robes of red and purple and the triple crown of the sovereign vicar rested upon the pale, placid brow. Fu

neral rites will occupy the next nine days, during which masses will be said for the repose of the pope's soul. Then, seated in its triple coffin, the body will be placed in its niche beside the fath

ers of the church, who have gone before. . t When the lying In state has been completed, the last funeral rites will take place at sunset. Preceded by the palafrenleri, carrying torches and escorted by the members of the Sacred College, and of the pontifical household, the body of the pontiff Is carried around the Basilica, on the shoulders of the noble, guard. The camerlingo,

Cardinal Delia Volpe, thereupon cov-

ers the face of the corps with a white silk" handkerchief. A bag containing gold pieces, corresponding in number

with the years of the holy father's reign, together with a parchment, on which are recorded the principal events thereof, are placed beside the body in a casket sealed by the chamberlain and by the arch-priest of the Basilica of St. Peters. This casket 1b then placed In an outer coffin of lead, like-wise sealed by the same two dignitaries, and this leaden casket is then placed in a third sealed coffin of oak. Rites of Burial. Once more the body of the pope will then be carried in procession before being hoisted to its niche. While the body lies in state. In addition to the other rites, three solemn requiem masses will be chanted. In the pope's private chapel in the Vatican. An air of Intense solemnity pervades the Vatican, but there is much activity in the office of the secretary

of state, where preparations are being

made for the conclave, and communications are being received from and sent to high church prelates throughout the world. The chapels are throng

ed with kneeling figures; silent-footed members of the Swiss Guard and the

Noble Guards pace through the corridor. In spite of threatening weather, the streets outside of the Vatican wee filled with reverent crowds. Men and women knelt in prayer, or talked in hushed whispers. Although the will of Pope Pius X has been read, the contents have not yet been made public. It is believed, however, that he left all his fortune to the church.

BY LEASED WIRE. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Aug. 21. Five persons are known to be dead as the result of last night's cyclone, and the search of the ruins being made today may develop an increased death list. The storm came on with terrible suddenness, and those in the twenty-five houses and buildings that the storm struck with such violence had little time for escape. The list of injured is large, and it is feared that some of those who were struck by falling timbers and bricks will die.

And it Is a perfectly natural consequence that any influence in the blood that Is a condition of 111 health makes its first appearance in the skin. There are certain medicinal properties that follow the course of the blood stream and the Influence of these properties Is that of an antidote. This Is why S. S. S., the best-known blood purifier, tins such a positive action In the skin. There is one ingredient in S. S. 8. which peculiarly stimulates cellular or glandular activity to select from the blood or from this fine net work of blood vessels in the skin, those elements which, it requires for regeneration. Thus pimples, acne, eczema, lupus, or any other blood condition that attacks the skin or seeks an outlet through the skin is met with the antidotal effect of S. S. 8. This is why skin troubles vanish so readily and why they do not return. Under the Influence of S. S.

dents in that vicinity to remain in their homes. Each explosion also hulrs vast clouds of refuse in all directions, which tne wind carries into

the houses to the dismay of the cleanly housewives. The plan of blowing up the dump with dynamite has practically been abandoned because of the danger attached to such an undertaking. It is realited that if an effort was made to place dynamite inside the dump a premature explosion, resulting from contact with live coals, might occur with a possible loss of life. The board has now under consideration a plan of having several holes drilled from the top of the dump to the bottom into which streams of water would be turned. Water would be permitted to "pour into the dump until every place where fire has been smouldering had been thoroughly saturated. This would abate the nuisance because with the fire absolutely extinguished the disagreeable odor would cease. It would also be possible then to undertake the leveling of the great pile of refuse, or have it covered with clay and loam.
