Pankhurst was Its leader. Sheandither growth and advancement of
her two daughters. Chrtstabel and
Sylvia, were among the founders
In 1903 of the Women's Social and
Political union, official name of
the organization which shortly
afterward Introduced the spectacu
lar c raof militancy.
, As leader of thiH union Mrs.
Pank hurst inwplred and openly
sfood Fponnor for the sertew of
violent acts, ranging from amon
and the destruction of art treas
tires down to the petty annoyance
of puHinp the coat-tails of cald
net ministers that formed so lare
a part of the day's news during
the height of the militant's ac
tivities In 1113-14. She justified
all as a means to Impress upon an
obstinate government woman's de
mand for the vote.
The leader repeatedly tried to
die a martyr to her cause by co
Inp on "hunger atrike" each of the
half a dozen times she wns thrown
into English prisons. She held
that only a martyr's sacrifice would
convince the Bovernment of the
earnestness of woman's appeal,
and so nearly did she sometimes
come to dying from her eelf-lm-posed
starvation In prlnon that she
was regularly released under the
"cat and mouse" act. after serving
only a few days of the long term:
to which idle was sentenced. It was
only tu renrw the hattle when hhe
recvored h-r Ftrengih.
The period of militancy under
her leadership saw women repeat
edly charging an army of police
men In attempts to gain the floor
of the hnti so of common: there
were scatireii instances of women
who gained the culler leu of purlin-'
it;:;
mcnt and chained
thfr; there were almoi
awie cnKrs of women
themselves to peats at pollilcnl
meetings, heckling the speakers
ml finally breaking up the meet
ings altogether: the homes of many
government supporters were fired l
by suffrage! (v. and some public
Institutions dcHroycd; the slushing
of paiutiiiKK and the destruction
of other works of art In the mu
seums became so general that many
of the Institutions were closed for
long periods; petitions were thrown
In the face of the klnB when he
was on parade: acid vn poured
Into tw mall boxes: hammers wen
thrown through the windows of
business places and minister'
houses: the kind's horse was trip
pcil in the Derby by a suffnmettc
who lust her life In the feat.
These are ony outstanding acts
which taxi-d both the ingenuity and
ine oaring of the suffragette.
Mrs. Penkhurst approved of it
all and Inspired much of it. nut
her appoarance and her personul
habits belied the fiKhlinK spirit she
displayed. She was slight In stat
ure ami at so was often deserihed
as having preserved mueh of her
girlish beauty. Stn.fc-nts of her
temperament found nothing mas
culine In It. She revebd In bright
colors and flounces as much as the
average woninr; she wn passion
ately fond of music and of chil
dren and "made the best jam in
Kngland." She defended strongly
the sanctity of marriage.
. Bui revolutionary Wood was
traced back to her grandfather,
who narrowly escaped being killed
In franchise riots, and to her father
who was a radical. As Kmmeline
Goulden she was burn In .Man
chester. England, on a day whu-h
she has described an "the anni
versary of the storming of the Pas
tile," but the year Is not given.
She was. however, nearly 74 years
old at the time of her death.
Her education In Paris as a girl
brought her under further radhal
Influences, and she became a com
panlon of the duughter of Henri
Itochefort, and an ardent republi
can. In 1879 she married Dr. Panic
hurst, who""was a member of the
flint Woman Suffrage society or
ganized In Kngland. She shared
her husband's interest In the ad
vancement of women. He was a
prominent member or the English
bar and was author of the Married
"Woman's Property act which be
came Knglish law in the early &us.

had taken Mr. Eydlard to one side.

dent all his Insurance policies were
void, and said he also hoped that
his partner had made his will care
fully, for he (dates) did not want

serious happened.
Soon Pill Lydiard showed by his
nervousness and white face that
he was fully cognizant of the dan

Crooks. Then Fred Mcpherson
pinned a piece of black crepe on'
Lydlard's coat lapel, while M. N.
Hogan, lest Lydiard and Crooks
should not have money enough

large roll, while Pill Gates gave
Lydiard some other utensils, which i

Just before they hoarded the

Lydiard and Jerked the black crepe

ground, saying "We're hoodooed
