ushered in the second
day's sessioqs of the
w omen's suffrage
convention. The meet
ing last evening was
rather protracted.and
this, perhaps. ac
counted for the fact that the ladies were a
little slow in coming into Metserott Hall
this morning.
Miss Anthony was somewhat disturbed
yesterday when one of the delegates went
to her and told her that the reporters had
all written that "as usual with women tne
delegates were slow in arriving, although
10 o'clock was the hour named on the pro
gram for commencing the meeting." So
Miss Anthony came to the newspaper men
in person to explain that there had been
an executive meeting behind closed doors.
and that there had been so much of interest
and importance in the way of business to
transact that the ofhoers could not get
away in time to begin the regular public
meeting at the appointed hour. The same
excLse was probably available for use this
morning, for it was 10:0 o'clock when Miss
Anthony started the wheels of business for
the convention. She explained to The Star
reporter that 1020 was quite early enough,
especially after a meeting such as that
hel last evening; that no Congressman
would ever think of getting to Work at any
earlier hour.
Miss Anthenty tn the Chair.
The first business of the morning session
after the reading of the minutes of yester
day wan the report of the credentials com
mittee by the chairman, Mrs. Harriet Tay
lor Upton. Prior to this, however, a num
ber of proposed amendments to the by
laws were read and laid over for action
later In the convention. Mrs. Upton had no
formal rprt to make just yet, owing to
the fact that the nnancial books had been
forwarded by express and had got snow
bound on the routs. For the same reason
she was unable to make her report as treas
urer of the association.
KM Avery's never#.
The report of the corresponding secretary,
Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery, was a most en
couraging document. In the course of 1t
Mrs. Avery said that the advances along
the line of wosman suffrage have been ve ry
great and unusually encouraging, even for
theme encouraging times. The splendid and
almost unhoped for victory In Colorado lued
prepared all for more devoted work, even
in the face of diinculties which may appear
insurmountable. Among all the rejoicings
none had seemed so significant of a chaage
in public sentiment an the rejoicings of the
Wellesley students over the Colorado vic
tory. When the girls who are receiving
the higher education, which to one -if the
frat fruits of the struggle for political
rights, are awakening to the underlying
principle of justice between the sexes, the
future of the cause was, Mrs. Avery Wad,
in safe hands. 8he referred to the disap
pointed hopes of the women of MichlAan
and New York, where certain laws on the
subject of woman suffrage had been de

states still non-auxiliary to the general as
socIation. West Virginia. North Carolina
and Mississippi. The state reports would
show valuable work in every southern state
and a wise expenditure of the money i4
thore states which have been asaiuted Som
the funds of the committee. The report
made an earnest appeal for help to carry
on the southern work, which is regarded as
the most important presented to the con
vention, as the south is a far more hopelul
field than is revealed at a cursory glance.
The people are far more homogeneous than
that of any other section of our country of
equal size, and when once a foot-hold is
gained for any principle Its growth Is rapid.
Woman suff.-age. with an educational quali
fication, is singularly adapted to solving the
chief political difficulties of the south. "We
cannot," said the report. "allow the work to
languish in the south. And we need not be
troubled by fearing that what is given to the
south at this crisis is taken from New York
and Kansas."

The Afternoon Session.
The afternoon session of the convention i
was devoted to the delivery of a number of
addresses in memory of the dead of the past
year, who, in life, were more or less inter
ested in the cause of women. These were
Mrs. Lucy . -ne, Elizabeth Oakes Smith.
Senator Leland stanford and Mr. uzeorge A
W. Childs. The principal address was by 1
Mrs. Elizaoeth Cady Stanton, who' was un- I
able to be present at the convention this
year. Her paper was read by one of the i
delegates. With reference t Mr. hilds, I
Mrs. Stanton had to say:
"in the death of George W.*iOida s6ther
striking figure disappeprs frot our horisonI
He was the first journalist to employ
women in his printing office and pay them
equal wages with men and to place a
woman at the head of an editorial depart
ment of his paper devoted to women.
"He brought from England the first train
ed nurses and established them in Blockly
Hospital. He was instrumental in getting
a woman physician in the woman's depart
ment in the Insane Asylum at Norristown
with absolute control. His influence was
exerted In the %rganization of the Drexel
Irstitute to secure equal advantages in
every department for boys and girls. He
contributed liberally to the National Buf
frage Association. He distributed the bulk
of his fortune during his life so-worthy ob
jects, and left a handsome fortune, to bis
wife to use, will and bequeathas she saw I
fit." .
Concerning Lucy Stone, Mrs.' Stanton I
said. in part:
"The many beautiful tributes paid- Lucy a
Stone in all parts of the country must have i
been highly satisfactory to all who knew
and loved her. I think we can say with a
truth that no other woman ini this country
has been so widely and respectfully men- ii
tioned by the press, the pulpit and the peo
ple."
Leland Stanford Mrs. Stanton regarded as
a pre-eminently self-made man. He had I
said that he considered the emancipation
of woman the vital question of the century,.
In all circumstances, in riches arld poverty
alike, he maintained an integrity, purity
and generosity of character that command- I
ed the confidence and admiration of all who
knew him. The crowning act of his life inI
honoring woman was in leaving his wifeI
pcssessor and manager of his vast estate
of 371,A510,000. With rare executive ability
she is managing the stocks and bonds of
the banks, raIlroads and unmversmity just as
her husband did in his life.
Similarly beautiful and pathetie tributes
were paid by Mrs. Stanton to the mnemnory
and character of Elizabeth Oakes Smith
and Elizabeth Peabody. Mrs. Lilile D~ev
ereux Blake of New York also read a
paper containing a tribute to Lucy Stone.
speaking especially of her domestic vir
tues, in whose life there had been a demon

hensions were of the dreadful results to be
expected from woman suffrage.

LA5T NIGHT'5 MEETINEG.
Somne Eloquent Addresses laterested
the Audience.
The session of the suffrage convention
last evening brought out a large crowd of
people, men and women, and the occasion
was made a memorable one in the history
of the association. In the first place there
was an address of welcome from the presi
dent of the board of District Commission
ers, Mr. Ross. the first time, so Miss An- I
thony said, that a public official of WVash
ington had graced the platform and honor
ed the association with a speech. The I
second Incident, and one that was even
more full of meaning, was the celebration
of the arrival of Colorado as the "anew star"
in the flag of the suffragists. The flag now
has two stars in the corner, representing
Wyoming and Colorado. the two states
which have granted the right of suffrage to
wjmen.
This incident formed the subject for the
better part of the program and a number
of speeches and papers were based upon it.
One of the must interesting was by Carrie
Lane Chapman of New York, who referred
to the good work that had been done in!
th'e cause of enfranchisement for women.
and urged her co-workers to push forw-ard
again for victory that was already within
sight. In concluding her speech, she pie
sentedI to Miss Anthony a handsome woman
s.uffrage flag, a gift from the women of
Wyoming, with an expression of wish that
its lesson wouild teach the men of New
York, at their coming election, to crown
Miss Anthony with the sovereignty of'
American citizenship.
CommaIkasionaer.i ia Introdnced.
In opening the sessinn Miss Anthn in-,j
troduced Commissioner Ross, who made
a pleasant speech of welcome, in which he
assured the members of the association of
his hearty sympathy in support of their
ause. Mr. Ross sai the Commissioners
bad asked Congress to authorise a legisla
Uve Increase In the number of trustees for
the public schools of this District, so that
some of them could be composed of the
mothers of the children over which the
trustees had supervision. He tendered to
the convention the good will of the District
of Columbia and hoped its sessions would
be productive of good results.
The president's address was then deliver
ed by Miss Anthony. It was a brief. inter
esting and critical review of the cause et
woman suffrage, with frequent allusions to
the action of the courts In their decisions
affecting the laws passed by the states for
the enfranchiseme't of woman.
Sanator Teller of Colorado spoke briefly
on the woman suffrage question, paying
particular attention to the condition of af
fairs as they exist and had existed in Colo
rado and adjacent states. He and long
ago reached the conclusion, he said, that
an intelligent suffrage was the safeguard
of the republic. It did not take him long to
decide that any system which excluded half
the intelligent people from the right of
franchise could not be calculated to be
for the best interests of the whole people.
In it undignified, he asked, for men to vote,
and If men grow better when suffrage is
given them, why should not women also?
Henry B. Blackwell of Massachusetts
next spoke on the subject of Colorado and
the work done there for the advancement
of woman suffrage. In 182, he said, the
legislature enacted a woman suffrage law
to be voted upon in is3. It was heartily
supported by the trades unions and Knights
of Labor, by the populists and republicans
as parties and by many individual demo
Lrats. The law was ratified by 6.500 major
Ity. Colorado now stood side by side with
Wyomine, with women on perfect political
equality with men.
Rev. Anna H. Shaw of Pennsylvania
briefly addressed the convention and as
serted that the men of Colorado had not
divided their power by giving enfranchise
ment to women, but had thereby doubled
that power.
lenatosr Carey of Wyonsing.
Miss Anthony then introduced Senator
Carey of Wyoming, who made an eloquent
address. In the beginning of his speech he
paid a tribute to the life and labors of the
president of the association who, he said,
had spent her youth and Is now devoting
the energies of her mature life to the ac
,omplishment of a noble purpose. "Last
elight," be continued, "they congratulated
ler and her army of associates on the new
Victory, the most marked of all. They sa
uted two stars on the flag of our common
,ountry, symbolical of the political cqual
ty of woman with man. The states indi
:ated will not turn back. Miss Anthony's
lame is as ineffaceably written on the
pages of our country's history as that of
my other great reformer. History gives
me woman much of the credit for the In
Luguration of the Columbian period; yet, we
loubt not, if the true history had been re
!orded in each decade, the name of some
roman would appear in each, who, in her
!ontribution to the world, did quite as much
'or its progress as the noble Isabella.
"To Colorado is due the honorable dis
inction that cannot be awarded, up to
his time, to any other state in the Union,
of granting to the women of the state, by,
direct vote composed exclusively of male
lectors, their full political rights. That
his should have been done in Colorado Is
he highest compliment that could be paid
o Wyoming, the first territory and state
,o grant to woman the full rights of suf
rage. Wyoming and Colorado have a com
non boundary line extending about fourl
tundred miles. In Colorado it was not an
natantaneous conversion, announced with
krass bands and parades, but a de ision
Lrrived at after long and mature delibera
Ion. Her action is sure to exert a mark
4 influence upon neighboring states and
grritories. If l'tah should be admitted as
state, at this session of Congress, there
s but little doubt th-it her constitution
would clothe women with the same politi
al rights that are now enjoyed by the wo
nen of Wyoming and Colorado. The ques
ion must soon be considered in the states
f Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakota3. and
t is my deliberate opinion that it will not
oe many years before woman suffrage will
oe the rule and not the exceotion in all
f the trans-llilssouri country."
Senator Carey said that he desired to
orrect a common error in the impression
hat the women of Wyoming do not vot
or presidential electors. le stated that
hey do not only vote for presidential elec
ors, but for all federal. state. county. mun
eipal and school officers. and the same will
low be true of Coloralo also. "Calorado
ind Wyoming," said the Senator, "have
noorporated the doctrine of political rigrhts
if both sexes. It In their organic law. be
ause it is just to woman, anl i is best
'or man. A principle so true that the time
s -near at hand when no man will have
he courage to deny it"

ealised. she said, that woman suffrage
here would lift the mass of womanhood
rom a lower to a hither plane. She re
olced because it would give to the mother
more exalted place, the wife a more self
espec.ting pesition, and throw about the
listers and daughters an arm of defense
gainst the world which they do not now
njoy. The way up the Incline of progres

AMUiSEMENTS.
Albaugh's.-The large audience that as
sembled at Albaugh's last night certainly
enjoyed the magnificent stage presentation
of the dramatization of Oliver Goldsmith's
"Vicar of Wakefield." under the titli of
"Olivia." by the Irving-Terry company.
The complete manner in which all the plays
presented under Mr. Irving's direction are
staged forms the chief attraction to the
audience, the Impression of a perfect pic
ture with no detail or accessory omitted
being even stronger upon the mind than
the memory of individual excellence on the
part of any member of the cast. This is
said without intending to in any degree dis
parage the excellent work of the members
of Mr. Irving's company, for the feeling of
satisfaction that one enjoys at such perfect
stage work forms a stroAg foundstion for
a pleasant reception of the efforts of the
performers. The story of the "Vicar of
Wakefield" is too well known to require
any rehearsal, and the incidents upon which
the drama of "Olivia" Is fouded com
mence with the w of
Dr. Primrose, and then to e romsace
of Olivia from her love I betrayal by
Squire Thornhill to her return to her hons.
the announcement by Sir William that the
supposed mock marriage was performed
by a regular clergyman, and the repentance
of the protligate squire.
The most satisfactory work of the east
was the Squire Thornhill by Mr. Teriswho
looked the character and who played It in
the most natural and effective manner. In
his scenes with Olivia he was tender and
heartless, careless and thoughful, and final
ly serious and forceful as the situations
demanded, and he deserved the applause
that he received. Miss Terry's conception
of Olivia was in full harmony with Gold
smith's drawing of that complex but lov
able character, and In all her actions she
showed in an eminent degree her
thorough strge experience and her per
fect knowledge of her art.. In the third
and last acts her work was so earnest and
intense, so true to nature, that one could
almost forget the failure of her personal
appearance to fulfill the requirements of
the heralne of the book. Of Mr. Irving's
Ur. Primrose, it only need be said that he
betrayed the same care In the execution of
his conception that characterizes all his
Impersonations. There can be no question
as to Mr. Irving's intellectual powers nor
%s to his artistic sense, and that he has
