PhilBdelphla, November TL
P'liladelphia is surprls'd? actunlly aa*
tonlBhed?that a crowd whleh rattobad half
way up the block should have r'ruggled
ln valn to get into the flnd evenlng ses
slon of the Natlonal Buffrage convention.
lf this la the case now, lt is said, wh'rt
will lt be later r>n, when people get
warmed up? It wlll be elmply that they
will be cooled off at outdoor meetlngs, as
waa done the flrst night and t*. bt ing done
agaln to-nlght I.ong before I O'clacb tbe
I doore of the main hall and the large gal

guard, whlle a second hall. opened for an
I overflow meetlnp, waa fllled in flve mln
utes, wlth a walting list saylng thlnfs
that didn't sound well.
At this critlcal rnoment it o'-eurred to
I the dlstracted managcts that thtru was
I plenty of room ln the street, so several
(motor cars uere prc"-eii into BBi vl< ?? BB

nothlng mild except the weather, and tl e
short aleevea gave thc:n a chance to
strike from the ahoulder. From state after

I a street crowd and gave their c'.en
strong arguments wlth all the self-pos
aession uf seasoned stump spcakerv Th'.s
ls cne of the most remarkable develop
ments of this audden and wldespread
movement for the suffrage. The audi
ences were not the ordlnary street loafers,
but looked as if the Bellevue-Stratford
bad been empUed of ita guests, and as for
the police. if they didn't go to eleep at
thelr posta they mlght safely have done
so.
Of cottrse, when anything so sacred aa
the constitution is to be changed every
body has an opinion to express, and the
flrst task of President Shaw, whlch con
sumed about two hours, waa to convlnce
certain deiegatea that their individual
ngnta would not be infringed upon lf
the chalrman of the delegatlon announced
ita vote The flrst scrap was the annual

Mr. Taylor declared that only 30 per

to offset thla there are 33.732.763 nattve

The author of "The Daughter of Heaven" tells what he

each was learncd unanswerably from the Sphinx.
I cannot conceivc what type of man?save that lie
would have to be multiple niinded aml umlttpte

And he says many other things that all feminine readers.

to read.
