I-liave alluded to ths Worqen's; Freedom; league. Though n' united , family party, Mr. ; Emsllne Fankhurst 'and ,her three daughters, Chrlstabel, Adela and Sylvia. . hava not been ' able to retain their organisation intact.- A serious split occurred a few mdhtha back -when, so my Information runs. Mrs. 'par.khurst's arbitrary and unconstitutional proceedings drove sev eral of her best supporters into revolt. They spit off and formed another so ciety known as the Women's Freedom league. It has offices' in Buckingham street, and Its officers are not one whtt less aggressive or Inexorable . in their de mands - than Its parent organisation. The chief is Mrs. Despard, sinter of General French, every bit as ready to make war on" our government as was General French on the Boers. ' She is 63, . with dignified presence and fine, clearly ohlseled aristocratic features. The three chief officers of the league. Mrs. How Martrn. Mra Despard and Mrs. ' Billlngton-Orelg, have all served sentences in prison, and so have seven of the committee of It ladlea ' 1 u - uui punicuiar nwinvri wujuu lie 40 branches, is due the brilliant idea of ladies arising In police courts and pro testing; aganst the trial of women who are In the dock, on the ground that they have not framed the laws. They also a few months ago went to interview cabinet ministers at their firivate residences, ringing bells, knocki ng at the door and haranguing crowds from the doorstep. ' Some members of the "society are re fusing to pay taxes or-to take out' a license for the use of armorial bearings, a did Dr. Octavla Lewin; they-allow tlveir roods to be distrained rather than obey laws they -did not help to make. The league will join the "old gang" in the procession on June 1J rather .than the Pankhurst faction. ' The . Pankhursts, otherwise the Wo men's Boclal and Political union, have purposely chosen the longest' day of the year for their great demonstration. , 1 They appeal to women to be present in hundreds of thousands on that day In Hyde pork. . ; . il IS- moraiiy certain mat tney win get a great deal of support, not only rrona women, rut rrom men. Uii tii dav when Hvde Park railings were thrown down In 1866, 70,000 men were present. - ' -. But the Fankhurits want 260,000 wo men. There are to be 20 platforms, 80 speakers, seven processions to enter the park, by different gates and 80 special trains to bring women to London. "Wo men of London." (thus runs a leaflet In my hand) "you must be In Hyde Park on that day. the story of which you will hand down to your children a the most memorable in your life," " -' . "Women-of England! Wherever yon live you must come to. take part In this great demonstration." They go on to way the government baa bidden them demonstrate, and they will, for the vote niii ro tneira ir tney come to ciaim it. It fa never safe to prophesy, but per sonally I should not be surprised If this proved the greatest demonstration wo men have ever made. J There la no doubt the attitude of the press has greatly changed: from cold indifference and neglect the suffrage is now receiving mora attention wan ever before. , At the moment of writing, two wo men's suffrage papers are being run in London, "Women's Franchise" by the older, conservative societies, and "votes for women," organ of the "Forwards." The last was a monthly until April; for the future it will appear weekly. We .must also take note of the changed tone of the press, a change for the most part unexpected, The aums of money which the Pank hurste can and do collect have bean un heard of till now In .suffrage work. Their aelf-denlal week alone produced f,80O. When they go to a new place to break ground, expecting to spend money, the organizers return with expenses paid and a sum to add. to the general fund. Bv the lamented death of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, woman suffrage lost a lukewarm friend: by the accession of Mr. Asquith to the premiership it most encounter an open ' enemy; , but Jovernments are the creatures of ma oritles; and nothing ia certain.. Olanolng over the mass of literature (nevar has suffrage literature been so various, so wide Cast and so widely read) chat my Interest -In the question has brought me. my eye has been ar rested by the dictum of the chairman of one of Hiss Adela Pankhurst's meet ings at, Btockbrldge, Mr. Joseph. He appealed for a fair hearing for her. " The great vented, interests of this country do not desire women to have votes. "The brewers ' dread the day when women shall have votes." As a woman Interested in temperance reform I agree. Whatever methods are used, whatever of approval we afford to "For. wards," women suffrage is bound up with the cause of reform and must win. A TEEE ONA TOWER. It Is the Last of a Grove of Four on - -- ,, the Same Perch. A tree growing on the top of the 110 foot tower of the courthouse at Greens burg, Indiana, la a curiosity which is . said by a writer In St Nicholas to have no duplicate in the world. v .' There: were formerly four trees, but when the courthouse was remodeled in 1887 the largest tree, then about IS feet high, was removed, as its stse was thought to render the tower unsafe. ' Two others on the south side perished from -the intense heat. The tree left in found at the northwest corner of the tower, where the reflection of the heat of the tower is not so . intense as at the point where the two others died. . . As there is a grove of soft maples growing in . the courthouse yard, the grove on the tower Is supposed to have linen tttn.rt.Ai1 hv the -wind lilftwlnflr tha winged : maple seeds into the crevices, where, catohlng root in the sediments -pf -dust-and watered by the rain, they sprouted; Tne trees were first noticed sprouting more than 80 years ago. A recent examination of the tower, shows no damage done by the spread ing and growth of the roots. This tree In about 15 feet in height and three -Inches in diameter. - It was found that the; trees were nourished by a layer of growth a few feet below where the roots emerge. "A large' crack on the south side of the tower where one of the trees was removed is noticeable from the ground. Because of the lone tree, Oreensburg is sometimes known as the "Lone Tree c.ty." . . , .

About a quarter past S o'clock, when James Brennan. no liced a light and notified the sexton. Peter McCann, he called Father .Hand, and after they had both got revolvers, went into the church. . . It was not Father Hand's first experi ence with thieves. About two months ago Father Hand found ,two men in the church. He tried to catch them, but they both succeeded in getting out of the church. In making their search ' yesterday morning Father Hand, and the sexton went into the church first, but finding no person there, they went into -the basement Each - had his revolver cocked ready for action. They had al most decided to give up the search when they reached a pile of lumber in the rear part of the basement and there found McQlynn. He got no oppor tunity to show resistance because the sexton immediately grabbed him and held his arms. Father Hand sum moned Policeman' Groh, .who arrested McGlynn. . McGlynn got Into the church by a window and had forced open a desk which contained nothing of value. McGlynn was arraigned before Mag istrate Scott. Both " the sexton aad Father Hand appeared against him. McGlynn was held In $1,500 bail, for trial..'
