Beadwork Redivivus
Women who wearied :of the bead
work in. Indian patterns which en
joyed such a vogue last summer, will
now find an excuse for taking up their
discarded looms. The rage for any
thing Japanese has found vent in
beadwork, following conventionalized
Japanese patterns. These cannot be
bought at shops as yet, though doubt
less the patterns will soon be on the
market, but any woman with an eye
for colors can evolve her own pat
terns from Japanese prints showing
y borders or panels.
Cherry blossoms, pride -of Japan,
are easily conventionalized, and drag-
X ons are stunning done in gold, green,
.: blue and crimson beads. -, The bead
' fringes shown on the new, dull hued
' lamp shades are made from beads in
myriad tints, run on the finest of
copper wire.
Dress Display at St. Louis.
English modistes and designers are
making preparations to rival Parisians
in: their display at the St. Louis Fair
'•this summer. One London / firm,
which claims the honor of catering to
the Court and Royal Family, will
make a special display of gowns suit
able for Court presentations, doubt
less to catch the eye of American
heiresses. American modistes have
chosen a unique method of beating
foreign rivals by engaging a number
of well-known and beautiful models to
wear and enhance the beauties of their
elaborate gowns.

Henry Norman. Correspondent
iim+^^^F ALL the curious compli
■ I cations and contrasts of
V«^ interests," said a literary
critic the other ' day,
"Henry Norman is the most remark
able. He combines in one man more
queer freaks of his day's work than
any man I have ever known. Just
think of a citizen who can rush about
and write a few books, travel some
twenty thousand miles in a year, and
invent, in the intervals while the train
stops, as it were, a few appliances for
the improvement of motor cars. Nor
man is a wizard. , He not only finds
time to do all this sort of thing, but
he finds time, too, to edit a magazine
or two,' and write essays on occult
subjects, which, as Mrs. Harte used to
say, 'even he doesn't understand.'"
Henry Norman's chief fad is the
motor car and its appliances. He
owns many remarkable machines, and
if he were not now romping into the
front with the correspondents who
are reporting the wars in the Far
East, he might be seen speeding his
car through Hyde Park or out over
the downs of Essex or Sussex or
some of the other Ex's where they
have downs. XX v/X
His greatest delight is not the ope
ration of his ' cars, either light or
heavy, but to work for days and
weeks and months at odd times over
some improvement on a valve or stop
cock or cut-off or some other thing
which he thinks will be an improve
ment upon the existing models.
He traveled for more than 20,000
miles through the Russian provinces
without the knowledge of a single
word of the Russian language. Of
course, he had an interpreter, but he
undertook the trip simply to come to
a better understanding of Russian life.

DO YOU DESIRE TO INCREASE YOUR INCOME?
WE PAID $50,000.00
In dividends to our customers in 1903, and we expect to pay over $200,000,00 in 1904.
■We are the largest firm in America handling exclusively the securities of developed, proven or dividend
paying mining and oil enterprises. We are operating under a system never before presented to investors — a
thoroughly safe and successful system that guarantees the immense profits of legitimate mining and oil operations,
and absolutely protects the investor against any possible loss. Our Companies include the Eureka, now paying
first investors 60 per cent, dividends per annum; the Mt. Jefferson, now paying first investors 4$ per cent, dividends
per annum; the Badger ; the Murchie ; the California and New York, and other famous dividend payers, the stocks
of which have advanced from too to 1,000 per cent, in value. Our business has been built up by making money
for our clients, not one of whom has ever lost a dollar on our stocks. ,
We now offer the stock of the Empire Gold Mines, Limited, owning and operating the famous Empire Mine, in
Sierra County, California, a splendidly equipped property of great richness and value that has produced over
$600,000 in gold, and that will begin the payment of dividends about June 15,1904- I* is under the same manage
ment as the Mt. Jefferson and Murchie Companies, which is a sufficient guarantee of merit. The stock is now
selling cheaply, and will toon net present investors over 24 per cent, per annum. We believe the Empire will be
the big mining success of 1904. -^SS^o^k^^^^^^^&S^*oS'&i'*^^^f^^^^m^^^

What Made the Woise
The late Senator Tim Ellsworth, of
Niagara County, N. V., was a physi
cal giant, as well as a tremendous
power in politics of the State which
he served so long. He had a tre
mendous voice, and when he got into
a heated argument it was pretty defi
nitely understood what he meant.
On one occasion several members of
the Legislature were taking luncheon
together at Keeler's in Albany. There
came a tremendous explosion which
fairly shook the building. "What was
that?" asked Senator Persons. "That,"
replied Speaker Nixon, "is Uncle Tim
Ellsworth saying that he can carry
Niagara County this fall."

g=====-^^=^ Susan B. Anthony Talks of Her Life-Long Efforts in
X ' Behalf of Her Sex—Doesn't Despair Yet of Ultimate
r Winning of Suffrage Victory—Man's Life Broader Than Woman's
BY EMMA HORN SMITH.
YOU almost feel a reformer
yourself when you enter the
parlor of Miss Susan B. An
thony's spotless home; the
walls are veritably crowded with pic
tures of America famous reformers
—Garrison, Mrs. Stanton and Wen
dell Phillips, Lucretia Mott and Gun
ning, the Cary sisters, Anna Dicker
son and Greeley. And in a corner is
a picture of those five famous women
who lectured to men centuries ago
in the university at Bologna. The one
with the veiled head was so beautiful
that her face was always covered that
men might better know her wisdom.
In an upper room, before the fire
of her quiet study, you find Miss An
thony herself. You think of the tran
quillity of Whistler's portrait of his
mother, as she insists that you take
her own high-backed chair and slips
a little footstool under your feet.
You are wondering, after reading
her life and finding how continually
women failed her and politicians de
ceived, that she is still an optimist.
"You seem to have kept right on be
lieving when it was raining cats and
dogs,' you say. "How could you ever
do it?"
The Sun Was Shining
"Oh, that was because I knew that
the sun was shining and must prevail,
no matter what came between," she
replied. "The cause was too just a
one for me to believe in anything but
its final triumph. The first work was,
of course, all propaganda. The idea
of the perfect freedom and equality
of women was so new that we had to
go up and down the land, and sow and
harrow, and be harrowed. We had to
create and educate a sentiment for our
reform."
"Didn't the progress seem more
rapid from, say iBjB to 1865, or up to
the time when the New York State
laws were amended, than it has
since?
"Well"— and Miss Anthony smiled
Julian Hawthorne Writes on Crabbed Youth and Axe
WOULD you really like to live
to be a hundred and fifty or
two hundred years old, or
five hundred, maybe?
Science, after long abuse of al-
chemy, theosophy and quacks for as
serting that the thing was possible,
now begins to hint that old age may
be indefinitely postponed, after all.
There are two factors in the prob
lem—the physical machine, or body;
the force working the machine, life;
and the duration of their association
averages thirty years. The ordinary
limit of age is seventy years, with oc
casional extensions to one hundred
or over.| There is also a third factor,
not accounted for by science—form.-
It is a mystery, whose laws are un
known; but it may turn out to be quite
as important a factor as either of the
others. Life, the force, is likewise a
mystery; but of its laws we think we
do know something.
Why should not the force work the
machine twice or thrice as long as it
does? The answer has been that the
force wears out the machine after the
periods named. But the machine dif
fers from man-made machines, in that
the force enables it to renew itself
constantly, seizing and assimilating
fresh substance from surrounding
matter. Now, if renewal can be effect
ed at all, why cannot it be effected in
definitely, or forever? Why, after
twenty odd years, does the waste
cease to be surpassed or equalled by
the restoration? Why does- it then
exceed it, and finally drown it out en
tirely? That is the real enigma.
It cannot be shown that the force is
weakened by time. It is a universal
phenomenon, never disappearing out
of the world. Where it ceases in one
subject, it begins again in another.
Why should my body, at seventy,
cease to change outside matter into
itself, while it continues to-do precise
ly that thing in yours at twenty? Why
should the force-and-matter partner
ship fail to be maintained at my age,
while at your age it goes on?
Science leaves questions wholly un
answered. Its efforts to prolong the
partnership are confined to oiling and
nourishing the machine, so as to make
it work easier. Diet, hygiene, and a
cheerful temper are its means. Or it
aims to provide an elixir, which per-

— "guess if you had done the work,
and been through the weariness and
stress of it, you wouldn't have thought
it very rapidno, nor the results of
fifty years compared with the efforts
and earnestness put into it."
Men Never Worked for Equal Suffrage
"Are the men, who are interested in
suffrage to-day •to be compared to
those anti-slavery men who looked for
it?" - ..'...-■.
"Oh, they never really worked for
it. They believed in it abstractly, but
there was always something else to be
done first."
"Doesn't it seem strange that we
haven't more influence with our hus
bands,, fathers and sons in getting
suffrage—they are so willing to give
us everything else?"
"Yes, that is just the point. They
give us, like to have us ask for, things.
We must look pretty, and ask pret
tily. Those women who have too
much self-respect to do so are called
shrews," she said, with a twinkle of
humor, in voice and eyes.
"Just think of the years that we
have our sons before they become
voters. Why don't we influence them
more?" I asked.
."That is because we have no real
power, after all," Miss Anthony re
plied. "A boy may think his mother
lovely, have the greatest admiration
for her character, but when he goes
out.in the world and sees the respect
shown his father's opinions, even
though he drinks, smokes and swears,
he isn't going to be influenced great
ly by what his mother thinks. This
father can, if he chooses, help to make
and enforce the laws that regulate
conduct and shape life. What can his
mother do?" .
"Do you think men's lives to-day
are really so much broader than those
of women?".
"A ditch digger has a broader life
than a woman," was the emphatic an
swer.
"But, Miss Anthony, he only digs
his ditch,, comes in contact with one
forms the same work more quickly
and economically. In either case, it
tacitly admits that the force does
wear out, as well as the machine,
though without explaining how such
a thing is possible.
It suggests, meanwhile, that it pre
tends only to restore the body to its
original limit of existence, which is
assumed to have been shortened by
unnatural modes _of life. It' would
banish the devouring monster, disease;
but that other devourer, death, it
hopes. to delay only. Earthly immor
tality is beyond its scope and ability.
Well, perhaps, we were originally
designed to last one hundred and fifty
years or more. By taking thought and
pains we may restore that pristine
vigor. But is it worth while .merely
to postpone a little what must in the
end prevail? Who wants ojd people?
Youth is ever springing up afresh, and
desires and will have its day. Age
may plead that knowledge and prog
ress would be increased and hastened
by its survival; but cannot the aged
as well hand on their wisdom as ap
ply it themselves?
Or do you say that there is no life
after death, and that, therefore, you
wish to eke out more years here? But
will you find the end any less unwel
come to-morrow than to-day? If, on
the other hand, you believe in immor
tality, why delay the approach of that
fuller and more effective life? Does
not your logic, in either case, fail.
It is right and wholesome and sen
sible not to attempt or to hasten
death, but to try to live as long as we
can be healthy and useful. But that
should be the limit of a sane desire.
Our present dread of death is exces
sive and unreasonable. Compared
with the precession of the equinoxes,
our span of life may seem short; but
is it not long enough for experience
and character? And may it not bear
a fixed, necessary relation to the
planet's size and movements on its
axis and orbit?
Let us, moreover, study the laws of
this mystery, form, though in that in
vestigation. material science cannot
aid us. But those laws may throw

them perhaps, talks over the political
situation after his light, and now and
then votes as he is bidden."
. "But don't you see that even then
he comes into more direct relations
with life?" she insisted. "The labor
and. wage question, the tariff, the
character of the man who is boss, the
liquor/ laws, all these vital things are
talked over and reasoned about by the
handful of diggers."
"Then you don't think that wo
man's contact with the grocer, the
butcher, the baker, the candlestick
maker, the food question, the money
problem, the tariff as it affects the
family purse, and our church and
charitable connection is real life?"
"Oh, yes, but how can women help
or hinder social conditions that they
don't like, and that they know are
wrong?
Club Women and Suffrage
"Here are the federated club wo
men, most of whom believe in suf
frage. Why? They find out, for in
stance, that they want to modify or
amend the laws regulating child labor,
or some other evil. What can they
do? Either wait years for a changed
opinion, or go to the law makers, be
treated politely and laid on the shelf.
They cannot vote, and more than all,
they have no constituents. That's a
word our grandmothers didn't have in
their lexicons. Their interests were
in their homes and church, and what
people called society. But as the in
terests of women broaden, and they
go into business, manage their own
property and study civic questions,
they find that they have special inter
ests to protect and special wrongs to
remedy.
"Then they realize the disadvan
tage of having no political influence.
They discover to their surprise that
politics concerns them. Do you know
that since the Federation of Clubs
was organized in 1890 it has applied
to more legislatures to secure the
passage of bills than has the Suffrage
Solve the riddle of that wondrous

Decorated by the Czar.
Mrs. George King, an English wo
man, has recently been decorated by
the Czar with the Russian Red Cross,
in appreciation of her splendid ser
vices as a nurse during the Russo-
Turkish war of 1877-78. This was
her first work as an army nurse, for
which she gave up an excellent social
position as the wife of a prominent
London magazine publisher. On her
return from the Turkish field of ac
tion, she spent some time as superin
tendent of a hospital at Newcastle-on
the-Tyne, and later saw service as a
nurse in the Zulu war, for which she
was rewarded by the late Queen Vic
toria with the South African medal
and the decoration of the Royal Red
Cross. This is a striking evidence of
the slowness and red tape of Russian
government, even in the matter of
conferring medals.

"You surely think club life broaden

"That depends on the woman, the
questions she is interested in, and the
thought she gives to them."
"Are young men and women inter
ested in woman suffrage?"
"I should say they are. Every few
days high school boys and girls, and
college men and women, and others
send to me for statistics and argu
ments to be used in their debating
societies."
I asked Miss Anthony if she had a
message to send to the young women
of the country who are interested in
suffrage—a word of advice, perhaps of
caution."
The Lady, Not the Tiger
"A word of advice?" she repeated,
smilingly. "Why, there never yet
was a young woman who did not feel
that if she had had the management
of the work from the beginning of the
cause, she would have carried it long
ago. I felt just so when I was
young."
"Annie Nathan Meyers seems to
think woman in politics a question of

think it will be?"
"The Lady, beyond doubt," said
