SUFFRAGE PARTY OF NEW YORK.

The Woman's Suffrage party, which
•consists of members of tho New York
State association and many other.-, who
do not wish to take a public stand, de
votes itself neither to agitation nor to
educational work, but to making an end
at once of woman's disfranchisement.
Hence we hold few public meetings and
snake few publications; we set ourselves
to carrying elections and controlling
the legislature. We have repeatedly de
feated candidates for the senate and as
sembly, and at least once have prevented
tho re-olection of a supreme court judge;
in some cases we have prevented men
from being even nominated, by notify
ing the managers cf their party that, if
■nominated, we would do our utmost to
heat them.
Wo have defeated two hostile candi
dates for attorney general, and have
elected friends in their stead; we have
done tho same with a judge of the court
of appeals. We have helped to defeat
several hostile candidates for governor
smd to elect friends. In fact, whenever
s friend has been nominated, either by
Republicans or Democrats, for any office
affecting our question in any part of the
state, ho has been promptly apprised,
sometimes to his astonishment, and al
ways to his gratification,- that we would
do onr best to elect him.
Whenever a foe was nominated by
either party, we have—if practicable
and worth tho labor—exerted ourselves
to elect his opponent, and have thus
mode a valuable friend of the latter.
We have never risked injuring our
friends by publicly advocating their
election, which course might drive preju
diced men of their own party to vote
against them. *We have always worked
for them as quietly as possible. Once
tho Democratic state committee, at our
Tequest, printed 10,000 extra posters,
which wo distributed through the states,
the result being the election of a candi
date friendly to suffrage. At another
time the Republican state committee
printed thousands of confidential letters,
which wo sent out in favor of certain of
their candidates, who were eh
When Attorney General Leslie W. Rus
sell was running for re-election, we sent
out 100,000 documents against him, in
cluding an address to over 0,000 law
yers, and we succeeded in defeating
him.
We have never wasted time, work or
money in running candidates of our own,
nor on any nominees who could not bo
elected, but we have always taken our
candidates from tho Republican or Dem
ocratic tickets. Thus wo have obliged
the loaders of both parties to respect us,
to feel that they must try to meet our
views and that we are efficient aids and
dangerous enemies; that it is perilous to
put our opponents on their tickets and
advisable to nominate our friends. We
have made the liberation of New York
women our sole political issue, and have
not askod what a candidate's views w<

franchised citizens.
Thus wo have made even unscrupu
lous politicians feel that it is to their in
terest to favor the right. Onr organi
zation is simple, but very effective. One
earnest, quiet, skillful worker in each

A Baltimore Beauty.
A correspondent at Richfield Springs
says Richmond is at last in tho posses
sion of the famous Baltimore beauty,
Miss Mario Stirling. She arrived on
Tuesday afternoon, and with her sister
is a guest of tho Robert Tailer family
at tho Berkeley. Her great beauty was
heralded by everybody weeks before she
came. In fact, the Misses Stirling are
both very lovely. They are the daugh
ters of Commodore Stirling, of the
cruiser Philadelphia, and their social
position in Baltimore is an unquestion
able one.
Miss Mario is a noted beauty. She is
tall and willowy i i build, has a small
and delicately shaped head, covered
with a luxurious growth of copper col
ored hair. Her features are very dainty
and fine. She has a small mouth, pearl
white teeth and an exquisitely tinted
skin. Miss Nellie is exactly like her sis
ter in build. In truth, they are not un
like in features, tho marked difference
being in their coloring. Miss Nellie is
very dark, with big, dark brown eyes,
smooth, dark brown hair and a clear,
colorless complexion. These girls are
the best dressed of any who have yet
made their appearance at Richfield.
They wear stunning sailor suits and
Eaton jackets, and are not in the slight
est degree conventional.
Miss Mario Stirling on Wednesday
morning came in to breakfast in the
most fetching white sailor frock. It had
a deep and elective baud of dark bluo
about the skirt, headed with narrow
white braid. A deep sailor collar of
blue edged with white and tied with a
loose sailor knot in dark bine made it a
decidedly chic costume,. On the left
sleeve thare was embroidered in the
colors of the Philadelphia tho insignia
of the famous warship. The next day
her costume was a bewitching white P
X, with an Eaton jacket of the same,
edged with a gold braid and trimmed
with brass buttons. A dainty silken
skirt of lilac and a fetching little hat
trimmed with the samo color completed
that costume. —Baltimore American.
What a Brave Woman Has Endured.
Miss Nellie Moore, daughter of Law
rence Moore, of Troy, and a sister of
Mrs. Homer C. Baldwin, who was so
terribly injured in the accident at Tar
rytowu on the Central Hudson railroad
several months ago, is in Troy visiting
her faciier. Miss Moore attended her
sister during her awful sufferings after
the wreck. The agonies winch the acci
dent entailed anon Mrs. Baldwin were
such as few human beings h&ve ever
undergone.
Miss Moore says that her sister, who
is now in New York, is in excellent
daily walks with her husband, and en
joys life in a manner wonderful after
the terrible afflictions to which she has
been subjected. The unfortunate wom
an is left without hands to feel or eyes
to see. She is also l>eref tof both outer
ears, but her hearing has been'so inten
sified by the loss of sight, so tho physi
cians say, that sho can distinguish
sounds better than before the accident.
Mrs. Baldwin's face is terribly scarred
and disfigured. There was no injury to
her lower limbs, and she is able to walk
as well as ever.
Mrs. Baldwin endured successive
operations—first the amputation of her
hands, then the removal of her eyes, fol
lowed by tho amputation of both ears
and the operations necessary to healing
the scalp wounds. All of these were
borne without the use of anaesthetics,
and with no hopo that Mrs. Baldwin
would survive the ordeal. The case is
said to be almost unparalleled in tho an
nals of surgery. The suit for $200,000
damages brought by Mr. Baldwin in his
wife's behalf against tho Central Hud
son road is still pending. Mrs. Baldwin
is only t wonty-threo years of age.—Al
bany Express.
Corsets und Suspenders.
The summer girl is out with a new
wrinkle. It discounts tho suspenders
by about 100 per cent., .although the
shoulder straps are pressed into service
in conjunction with it.
The new idea is nothing more or less
than a pair of corsets worn outside the
blouse.
A reporter encountered the new
wrinkle yesterday on a bridge train and
sustained quite a severe shock. A pret
ty littlo girl entered the car carrying a
violin case. She was dressed in cool
summer attire, consisting of a plain skirt
and a blazer of the same material. Be
tween tho open edges of the blazer front
a bit of tho samo material could be seen,
which looked very much like a wide
belt. The observer would never have
known whether it was a belt or what it
was had not the fair wearer been heated
aud removed her blazer, throwing it
over her arm in true man fashion. Then
it was seen that the girl had on a pair
of corsets outside of hor blouse. They
were made of the sauio material as th»>
rest of the costume, of regulation height
and were separated in front, being laced
together with a silken cord.
Tho removal of the blazer created a
sensation iv the car. A couple of young
men snickered: an elderly man who wore
flowing whiskers glanced at the girl over
his spectacles, aud then turning very
red fixed his eyes on the floor. A ma
tronly old lady started to speak to tho
summer girl, but was restrained by her
daughter, who said:
"Oh, no, ma; there's no mistake. She
wears them that way purposely."
"Law sakesl" commented tho old
lady, and looked both puzzled and dis
gusted.
The strangeness of the costume was
increased by having a pair of blue ilk i
suspenders, buckles and all, fastened to
the top of the corsets bo'.h front and
back. It was a question whether tho
suspenders sn"t..iued the corsets or vice
versa. —-Tew York World.
Privacy iv Kathius Coming In.
One n-ood effect of our anglomania is
certainly seen in the mandate of the
highest fashion against the promiscuous
public bathing which bid fair at one
time to be imported here from France.
The English bathe from machines run
well out into the sea, and our swells now
try to come as near a similar decorum
as possible. If at Narragansett, Cape
May and Long Branch the old license
still lingers it is distinctly under the
ban of the best society, which has
branded it with the fatal condemnation
—"not nice." Those of the Four Hun
dred who bathe at Newport use Bailey's
beach, around the bluff, at tho end of
tho famous Cliff walk. It is a small,
beautifully sloping beach, and some of
tho fashionable elect meet there in the
mornings. It is strictly a private beach,
and tho houses are so placed behind the
embankment that it is almost impossible
to catch a glimpse of the bathers.
At Nahaut tho bathers uso the small
beach at an early hour, and a hardier
set of human beings could not be found,
covered from head to heel with com
fortable, loose old flannels, heads tied
up in straw hats and bathing shoes on
feet. Private beaches aud early bath
ing hours without witnesses, a quick
rush of a genuine animated scarecrow
from the neighboring bathhouse to tho
water's edge, is tho substitute for the
highly colored pictures of the Naiad or
the Venus of tho sands, on which tho
summer reporters delight to dilate, all
along tho north shore.—Boston Herald.
Summer Clothing for Children.
Most young mothers make the great
mistake of keeping their children too
warmly dressed, especially in summer.
Of course due precaution must be taken
on account of sudden changes, and a
nurse should* invariably carry with her a
lightly knit jacket; but, as a rule, in
fants and young children can hardly be
too lightly clad in the dog days. One
sensible mother who has a great, sturdy,
crowing baby of eight or ten months
makes a practice of leaving the littlo
fellow daily half naked on a big hair
mattress for an hour or more, aud it is
delightful to see how he enjoys him
self.
It is not generally remembered that
the pores are the baby's breathing
places, and that by covering them all
up the impurities of the body are not
properly carried off. Let the little ones
have bare legii and bare arms in sum
mer. Lamb's wool socks and a low
necked merino shirt are a sufficient pro
tection, and by accustoming the child to
the air he is made much hardier and less
susceptible to changes when winter ar
rives.—New York Tribune.
W«n«l with Medals.*
Ida Lewis, so long known as tho her
oine of the Lima Rock lighthouse, off
Newport, R. 1., is now obliged to share
her honors with two more heroines, who
have recently been presented with gold
medals. One of these is Miss Bertie O.
Burr, of Auburndale, Mass., who saved
the lives of two of her companions last
rummer. The girls went in bathing, got
beyond their depth and were rescued by
Miss Burr with great danger to herself.
The other heroine is Mrs. Martha
White, of Copalis, in the state of Wash
ington. On the 20th of last January
Mrs. White went into the surf and saved
three drowning sailors. In a letter nc
companying the medal sent to Mrs.
White, Secretary Foster says, "Such
deeds accomplished by a woman attain
the highest degree of heroism and are
entitled to and command extraordinary
admiration." Miss Lewis, who has
saved eighteen or twenty lives, still
takes cares of the lighthouse, living
there with no company but her gray cat
and the sound of tho waves.—Washing
ton Letter.
Old Oaken Chest Tad.
Every one who pretends to have a lit
tlo taste nowadays lays out a little money
in buying a genuine old oak chest—that
is to say, an oak chest which he be
lieves to be genuine—and the blacker it
is tho more confident does ho feel that
he is the possessor of a genuine article.
If, moreover, there bo a date on the
chest, then his confidence is complete
The dealer knows exact 1 y what he wants,
and they manufacture dates and blacken
the chests fliey make to meet his re
quirements. It is a (rand to date tho
chests, but tha buyer has no reason to
complain if he get* a copy of a good an
tique. He has bttt to take his penknife
and try the wood, and ho can easily con
vince himself whether thearticle be new
or old. Two hundred years passing over
an old chest or old cabinet hardens tho
wood till the penknife blade will make
no impression on it; whereas that of the
modern antique is (reek and soft, and
when a chip is removed the dye is shown
to be but skin deep.—Cornhill Magazine.
A Lucky Find.
A day or two ago a lady walking in
Alpha road, St. John's wood, suddenly
saw before her on the pavement a singu
lar object, which proved to bo a small
snake, wearing around its neck a ring
studded with gems, to which was at
tached a slender gold chain ending in
another jeweled ring. Startled at first,
tho lady, however, managed to capture
tho Utile animal in the folds of her um
brella, and immediately recognized thai
she had possessed herself of tho asp of
Cleopatra. Not knowing the exact ad
dress of Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, she was
about to ask a policeman, wiien the
gates of a villa some yard* off were
flung open, disclosing tho great trage
dienne and her attendants frantically
searching for the escaped snake.—Lon
don Chronicle.
Feminine Sports.
The new bowling rooms, the first es
tablished at Atlantic Highlands, are
used daily by the young ladies. Crowds
gather to seo them roll the balls; in fact
at times it is hard work to wedge one's
self inside the building. There are sev
eral young ladies who go through a
game of making nothing but strikes and
spares. Mrs. H. B. Drowne, Miss John
sou and Miss Lillie Schwab are expi rts,
bringing down the pins at every turn.
Swimming matches among the ladies
at Atlantic Highlands aro of freqm il
occurrence. Thursday Miss Hattie Lane,
of Brooklyn, and Miss Florence Sen
drickson, of New York, swam from the
Curtis pavilion to the old pier, just half
a mile, Miss Lane beating hex opponent
a full length.—Baltimore Sua.
Tho Litest Kind of a Fire.
Tho use of the gas or naphtha cr oil
stovo in tho kitchen has brought about
a new era in household life. If a family
is content to use fruit and berries andT
simple repasts during the warmest sea
son, an incomparable amount of suffer- ,
ing may bo saved by the absence of the
raging coal fire in the kitchen range.
The fire that will consent to burn and to
go out by the mere touching of a but
ton, as it were, is tho only sort of firo
that is in line with the progress of the
times.—Boston Commonwealth.
Mrs. Harriet M. Plumb, of New York,
has patented an Invention to keep cars •
supplied with fresh air without the an
-110;.aneo of cinders, which has been in
use on tho local trains between San
Francisco and Oakland for several
weeks and is practical and satisfactory.
