It will take months to settle the affairs
of Mr. Smltn.
What the estate will ultimately pay

Ji.mes K. Nurent. formerly City Counsel

this afternoon and left a record of real

"It s an easy, ladylike short cut." she
said, "hut you can't deceive .1 politician
with a hollow sipiare We've gv.t to
show them that the peo-ple are hohlnd
the demand for woman uffrage. And
when I see the apathy, the absolute
stupidity vt many of the men arid
women of New York, I realise that a
long suffrage campaign is needed.
"I believe that Congress wll pass that
amendment mme time. Hut for a long
time to come you nn't get the neces
sary thirty -SUl States to ratify that
amendment."
Mm. Catt deeply regretted the division
Of suffiage forces in New York, referring
to the number of woman who nave gone
Into the Congressional Union In favor of
the Federal amendment
"I Implore you," she said, "to keep

Mrs Catt said thai thirteen years ago
tlure wasn't a suffiage society In Man

down the streets urging women to Join
the Rquai Suffrage Club, wMch she
started iti 1900.

Senator n'Oorman's announcement on
Monday that he believes a l'emocrat
should succeed Tost master Morgan has
brought Into the limelight several men
whose friends Insist that they are fully
capable of stepping Into the Morgan
shoes. Moreover, these names are likely
to be brought forward In growing num
bers because the Henator's announcement
Is taken to mean that lie Is prepared to
fight for that Democrat who shall ap

While In ouWylng districts the 'elec

as the special province of Oongrsesmen
the award in New York will probably ls

the Tammany men. who largely compost
the Congresstnn.il deleg.. tin-i from Man
hattan, are content to leive this dellcatt
matter Iti the hands of Mi- 0Qormnn.
It is de'icnte because of the lorn ind
satisfactory record of Postmaster Mor

considered In such patron. igo as the

It Is believed that 'here is alg-.'M ance

MEN OF THE OLD STONE AGE
By HENRY FAIRFIELD OSBORN
President of the American Museum of Natural History
THEODORE ROOSEVELT says: "I regard your book as one
of the real contributiono to productive American scholarship."
This extremely readable volume promises to be the most important and
complete work on human evolution which has appeared since Darwin's "De
scent of Man," for the reason that it is the first full and authoritative presen
tation of what has actually been discovered up to the present time in regard to
human pre-history.
All the known prehuman and human stages of development for the last
five hundred thousand years are described as fully and fairly as the material
allows. As soon as enduring remains of warlike and industrial life begin to ap
pear, namely about one hundred and twenty-five thousand years ago, the author
traces every step in man's economic and social evolution, and, finally, all the
known stages of artistic endeavor.
It is written in the lucid and easy style which has made the author's earlier
philosophic work, "From the Greeks to Darwin," a standard reference for the
early history of the theory of evolution.
