BT Y. HAMILTON" RHODES.
LONDON, Dec. 12. (Special.) One of
the most notable meetings ever held in
support of "Votes for Women" took
place in the Queen's Hall a fen days
ego. Jt was a gat'.ierin;; of professional
nd industrial women, and had no con
nection with any of the woman's .suffrage
societies, but so great was the demand
for seats that tne hall could have been
filled several times.
Among those who sent' messages of
support were Hiss Ellen Terry, Mme.
Snrah Grand, Mrs. Sldgwick. Dr. Jane
Harrison of Cambridge, and Miss Dove,
of Wycombe. Among the women at the
meeting were scientific workers, head'
mistresses of high schools, doctors, lec
turers, authors, artists, actresses, art
teachers, music and singing teachers,
civil servants, county council clerks.
E)mnastic teachers, accountants, jour
nalists, dentists. sanitary inspectors,
brads of business firms, nurses, shop as
listants, cap-makers, herb-packers, clerks,
typists, chemists, photographers, dress
makers, milliners, weavers, winders, electrical-workers,
shirt and Jacket-makers,
bookbinders. tailoresses. cigarmakers,
clay pipe workers, ring-spinners, bar
maids and factory-workers.
Ovation Given Leader.
The most interesting figure of all was
that of tiie rhalrinun. Mrs. Garrf.lt
Anderson. M. D.. the first Idy Mayor,
w'io T.a'f a century ago helped two or
three others to roll the woman's suffrage
petition up the floor of Westminster Hall.
Mrs. Garrett Anderson, who for years
wag tlie head of the Women's Medical
School in London, is now an old lady,
although she has only Just been chosen
Mayor of Aldeburgli. But she Is still as
pacer as ever in the cause of votes for
women. When she rose lo speak, the
thousands of women all round her lose
and clapped their hands. She seemed the
ideal old lady a small, slight figure, at
tired in black, with a refined, beautiful
face, and silver hair peeping from
beneath a large white widow s cap, with
long white streamers behind. Her hands
were partly hidden by black silk mittens,
and she wore spectacles. She spoke in
sirt, silvery tones.
-I have been a suffragist all my life,"
she said gently, with a smile.- "I think I
was born 'converted.' I have always
thought since 1 was a girl, that it is
unfair that women witli property which
Is taxed should be placed in a different
rot ition from men." but. with a little
shake of the head, she added that she
was not in favor of all women, or all
men having votes. She thought it better
that tiioi who had property at stake
should kevp a hand on the exchequer.
!ie called attention to the fact that one
fifth of the workers in the country were
wor.in. we win not oiscuss iue oesi
method of getting votes." she said, "but
you all "want the suffrage, and you can
not all work in exactly the same way."
She added, amid loud applause.' that
personal sacrifice on the part of the
leaders was the note of all great re
forms. Hiss Name of Mrs. John Burns.
There were manyhlsses wlien Miss
Gore-Booth, on behalf of working wo
men, mentioned the name of John Burns.
Mr. Bums told us the other day." she
said, "that what is wanted is that the
work of women should be enormously
curtailed. Don't you see that he would
not have said that if women had votes?"
The manager of a factory. Miss Alice
Clark, who said she had been In business
all her life, made a little reply to the
anti-suffragist women. "They tell us
that women's place Is In the home," she
said, "but we find that women's work
is not considered worth more than bare
subsistence. T!v mother is not con
sidered entitled to any part of her hus
band's Income, although she gives all
her strength and energy in the service
of the home."
Actresses to Vnite for Ballot.
Miss Tit. i Krnd. tlie actress, announced
thit an actress' league for woman's suf
frage is about to be formed. When Miss
McMillan, who had argued before the
House of "Lords stood up to speak, the
a ii. hence broke iiito a great roar of ap
plause. FOi- some minutes the young
Scotswoman stood smiling, while the ap
plause cominjed. Then Miss McMillan,
with a pretty Scottish accent, said: "We
have been tryirg to convince men for
thousands of years that women re
persons. Men have always thought they
verc something else. But year by year
we seem to be proving a little more that
we are persons."
A resolution calling on the government
Immediately" to extend the franchise
to women "ns a necessary protection for
the workers under modern industrial con
ditions," was carrtoi with enthusiasm.
although some of their contents were re
ferred to by certain of the witnesses.
The Inquest was behind closed doors
and the evidence was not made public,
but showed that, without question, a
crime had been committed and portions
of it tended strongly to Implicate Dr.
Peacock, the Cathlamet physician, who
was reeentlv arrested In connection with
the case. Other parts of the testimony,
while conflicting, indicated that others
may also be implicated in the matter be
fore the Investigation is finally concluded.
The Jury, after hearing the evidence,
concluded "that as the alleged crime was
evidently committed In Washington, and
whatever criminal prosecutions follow
must be held in that jtate, it would not
directly charge any persons with -the
commission of the crime, but that the
evidence secured at this hearing, as well
as the girl's statements, shall be' fur
nished upon request to the Wahkiakum
County officials, who then can decide
what action shall be taken.
The remains of the deceased were
shipped this evening to Cathlamet for interment.

Agrees That Vancouver Shall Im
prove Garrison Boundary Street
VANCOUVER. Wash.. Dec. 12. (Spe
cial.) Word was received today from
Senator Piles, in Washington, that Re
serve street, adjoining the western boun
dary of the garrison grounds, will be
Improved.
This is a project which Vancouver
has been seeking to realize for some
time. The street runs along the west
side of the reservation from he river
to the military cemetery. For part of
the distance it is the main thoroughfare
Into Vancouver from the northeast,
where the heaviest traffic comes from.
When Senator Piles was in Vancouver
not long ago a committee of business
men took him over the street and ex
plained the entire situation to him. The
question was also taken up with ' the
officers at the garrison, and they were
favorable to the plan.

resultn all
A large school of physicians which
Is constantly increasing, claims that
the eating of too much animal foods
creates an over supply of protelds,
which are composed of carbon, hydro
gen, nitrogen, oxygen and sulphur,
and that when such protelds are im
perfectly digested and go into the
blood they create vast quantities of
nitrogen which the oxygen from the
lungs cannot neutralize and hence re
sults, uric acid and rheumatism and
scores of other diseases.
These proteids do not
assimilation processes to
properly and poisoning
through the blood.
However, if such protelds are per
fectly digested they form a most valu
able part of our food and are absolute
ly necessary to life.
The fault then rests with the stom
ach and the digestive apparatus.
Hence it is claimed by these latter
day authorities that rheumatism arises
in the stomach or through the stom
ach and no. In he kidneys as some'
medical authorities teach,
Stuart's. Dyspepsia Tablets cure
dyspepsia, reduce i protelds to their
natural condition best taken up by
the system, give strength to the blood,
rest the stomach and invigorate and
renew the gastric fluids, pancreatic
Juice and the digestive organs in gen
eral. Forty thousand physicians use these
little "digesters, and every druggist
sells them. 50c per box or send us your

also that the decedent, when he was
on the point of death, was plied with
whisk- by those members of his family
who were remembered In the bequests.

given nothing, and James and Matilda
