In connection with thla celebration of MIh Anthony'a birthday, ono hun dred and Cfiy advocates cf woman uffrnto swooped down on tho Mem bera of Congress and hurled at tbo Statesmen all aorta of feminine oratory on tho subject. In appealing to tho Holoiia of tho Capitol, tho argument waa mado by tho women that Cod did not Intend tho femalo to bo subserv ient to man, nnd that aho should bo given JiiKtlco through tho ballot. Tho principal address wbb mado by MIhs Mary Thomas, of HaUlmorc, who. protested ngalnBt tho laws dis criminating ngalnnt women. "Wo havo no right to tho children wo havo cradled In our loving arms beyond tho ngo of seven years." sho said, "and now our boys of eighteen need not nnk our permission to Join tho army and navy If their fathers ure willing. Tho girls of Mnrylind, who rnnnot contract legal mnrrlages under sixteen yenrs of ago, may then con sent to their own degradation nnd their destroyer go frco. Think of thla terrlblo injustice to Ignoranco and Innocenco and grant us tho power to protect tho child who cannot protect himself.

Wo OHk of Congress tho right to express our opinion nt tho ballot box. becatiHO It will be tho surest and snfeHt way to accomplish what wo deslro." Wbb A at bony' a Rcmamnbte Hal lie Against Ridicule and Culumny. Susan Brownell Anthony waa born 8G years ago In tho lilckslte Quaker settlement at South Adams, Mass., and was as quiet and gcntlo and obedient a ltttlo Quaker maiden as any of her nlnvinnies In Umt tranquil spot Her llfo was uneventful until she took up teaching and went out into the world, Sho was 20 years old when sho mado her first light for tho right or suffrage, It wns for the right to vote at a tern pcranco meeting which was dominated by young men. Tho Sons of Temper unco wore holding a convention at Albany, N. Y. nnd tl.e Daughters of Temperance were invited to meet with them. Susan was ono or mo unugn' ters who accepted the Invitation. Ear lv In the proceedings the young women discovered that their position In the convention was purely an honorary ono. Tho men did. not propose mat thev should havo any volco in tho pm ceedlnca. It was against scripture and against her natural sphcro that woman should raise her volco In the councils of men. wero mo arguments of tho men In answering the protests of tho women 'and In refusing their netltlon to bo allowed to vote. Suddenly a tall, slendor Quaker girl arose from her sent and. followed by six others, marched out of tho convent- Ion hall. Tho loacior was ausnn u Anthony. It was her first rebellion flealnst that order of things which imvA men a mononoly of power. She Immediately set nbont organizing tho Women's New York State Temperance Society. That wns the real beginning of what has been her life's work In which tho central theme has evor been equal suffrage for tho sexes. Great Courage to Withstand Rcbul.'s It required great rourago to unuar take this work at the time and In the manner she did. Hut she possessed Hint rculNlto ami excri-Ucd It ou many occasions. Khe never faltered, never lost heart, though sho was con stantly BulJrted to ridicule, calumny and opposition. Few women were I rare mourn to follow her In those days. In Hf.2 she addresxed a large ronventlon of men teachers. A clergy nnn who was present complimented her afterwards. "You spoke ally and well," ho said, "but I kaJ rather see my mother and slater dead In their graves than 1 l v.r thcra speaking from a public platform." I'nceatlngljr she preached the doe trlno of woman's suffrage and equal rights. Few, even among women thorn- V SUSANTB.

SHo was caricatured, Insulted, Jeered at and mall;;ncd. In the early days of the movement Women's Hlghts was the synonym for dress reform, for neglect- 1 home duties for rabid political tendencies nud for uuwoiuauly women. hUzabeth Cady Stanton was Miss Anthony's earliest ally. Together they conducted ono cnmpalgn after another, seemingly making but llttlo headway at first. They traveled all over the ountry, going from place to place In open wagons, staso coarhes or what ever other convcyanco was obtainable, and from door to door on foot They endured many hardships and were sub- ectcd to Insults Innumerable, reople ild of them that Mrs. Stanton made tho balls nnd MIhs Anthony flred them. She proved her good marksmanship by making every ball count Partial Sjffragc In Many States. "I never saw that tall, statoly Quaker girl coming across my lawn," said Mrs. Stanton, "Dut what I know another bomb-Bhell was to be hurled into some assembly of men." Miss Anthony was arrested and fined for illegal voting In 1872. She had cast a ballot at the election.- She never paid tho fine. Slnco then four Etates havo granted tho right of suffrage to women; 23 states have given them the right to voto at school elections, and Now York permits women taxpayers to voto on all questions affecting tho tax ation of property. For years Miss Anthony hoped to llvo to see a woman clectod and Inaugurated as Prosldent of tho United States, but sho has a baudoneil that hope now, rcallztnthat such a thing will not como to pass in her day. Her llfo Is now less strenuous and sho and her sister, Mary, have a quiet pretty homo at Rochester N. Y. She koerB in touch with every cause In the interest of or for tho advancement or woman, and In her voluminous corres pondenco continues to give advice and counsel to women In all quarters of tho globe. Out of hor little workshop In tho attlo of tho Rochester home comes mu'h of tho ammunition used in continuing tho battle for snffrngo. Six years ngo, at the acre of 80 she learned to opernte a typewriter, which she employs In her personal correS' pondenco niul In cnrrvlnr on her wo"'f. Time bns dealt gently with her.

Her memory Is undulled by ape. all of her faculties Roem to retain the keenness which made her such a power In the prime of her life. Her Interest In the world's affairs Is unahnted, and her mind Is attuned to every movement having for it object tho betterment of mankind. TRIUMPH FOR ROOT cERuixrs xEir tariff Act ALLOWS SMALLEST RATE OX AMERICA S GOODS. Securing Thla Unlookcd For Conces Ion Makes Sccretaiy of State a Diplomat of First Rank-Cerman Market Prized War has been averted between the United States and Germany; not tho strife of cannon and sword, but com mercial war, which nevertheless very seriously threatened Important Ameri can Industries. The recent action of the German relchtitag In passing legislation defer ring from March 1 next, until June 30, 1907, tho assessment of tbo maximum schedules of the new Imperial tariff against Amerlcnn goods, thus averting a tanir war with tho United States, is the climax to a protracted interchange of correspondence between Secretary Root nnd Ambassador Sternberg, in which Secretary Root has achieved his first great feat of pure diplomacy. ' Tho success of the State Department in obtaining lor another sixteen months equal consideration In the German trade w ith other governments that have mado groat concessions to obtain the minimum tariff In Germany, without any amelioration of our schedules aralnst German goods entering this country, ranks as ono of the notable works of statecraft in several decades of the recent history of the American foreign office. Had Secretary Root not already given ample promise of being a diplomat of the first class, he would now be hailed as the new stellar light in International politics. All Done In a Month, Only a month before the action of the rclchstag, the German government was still apparently Inexorable in its posl tion that the maximum rates would be enforced on March 1. In the light of the relchstag's action, at the earnest solicitation of Chancellor von Buelow, ono might be led to think a colossal bluff had been attempted, and pushed to the last moment by Germany. But this, It is understood here, is not the case. The seed of education as to the result of the tariff war, which Mr. Root had been sowing, did not sprout until within the last few weeks; then its growth wns rapid. Realizing that Mr. .Root was thor oughly familiar with all the premUr and sound in his understanding of what the results would be of any course pur sued by Germany, and that he could not be shaken from his position of polite regret that no concession was noesIMe at thU eM of the wire, the German statesmen quickly went to their rclchstag, and , had legislation passed deferring the trouble. Had tho department here shown slcns of hysteria, or had Secretary Root not fully nripre'ntnl the several nnnixq tv r"v or had ho made ex Mtd eorts to havo Congress act hur Horflv In r'vlwr Pnt-rnnwv rice4dnii before Mnfh 1. the Germans would tmvw thst the United States enivltf tm coerced br actually apnlvln the maTlmnm tariff, but Mr. Root's nlncH explanations that nothlne at all could bo done here, either before or after March 1, . had an exceedlwrlv niiletlng effect upon German tariff opinions. Secretary RootVr'hnpflssftrp nttttnde, which was" so remarknhlv effective In tWs case. Is nil the more notable, In view of the flood of pxclted protests that havo come to Washington from associations of farmidg, manufacturing, and other producing interests la the Middle Wert, which consider too Ger man market their "velvet." STOCK E1CB1XGE SEATS, Points of Vantage Where Million Are Made (and Lost) While twu Walt. ' ta keeping with the recent remark able rise In stock prices in this country- U the rapid advance la rates at which New York Stock Exchange seats aro selling. The membership of the Exchange Is strictly limited to 1,100, and aeats are therefore objects of ardent desire on the part of many hundreds of market operators, to whom a membership would be mate rially valuable. A month ago a Beat told for $S5,000, a record price. A few days age membership rights were sold for ttO.OOO and one seat was bought at the unprecedented price of 195,000, It is believed that If there Is another transaction of this character soon the price will reach $100,000, or somewhat more than CO per cent greater than the rate at which seats were sold two years ago. In 1872 Stock Exchange seats sold for $4,000, and this was re garded as high. An idea of the reason why Wall Street operators are anxious to ob tain the right to transact their busi ness on the floor of the Exchange is gained from the fact that the stock transactions nowadays average close upon 1,000.000 shares a day. If every member of tho Exchange were active, and if the business were evenly di vided, such a dally business would give to each member a commission upon about 990 shares, amounting to a yearly Income of $32,700. This Is, of course, entirely apart from individual operations and profits. These Stock Exchange seats are re garded as assets. There has been in the past some trading in them for the sake of the profits gained by tho rise in the rate, but the tendency was dis couraged by a rigid enforcement of the role that the purchaser must bo ac ceptable to the governors of the Ex change, lien now sell their scats only for argent reason, such as failure of health, or removal to other fields. In the latter case the New York Beat Is probably more profitably turned Into cash, at the high rates now prevailing, than to be held for future use. When a member of the exchange dies, his executors sell his seat for the highest obtainable rate. The bidding is often spirited, and some of the most strik- Visg advances la the record prices have beea scored in this way. MILLIOS AIRES TOR WAITERS. Caddies Feasted as Cuests of the Ccrmantown Cricket Club, Near Philadelphia. Millionaires and men of promin ence in the business and social life of the city turned waiters and fed the little lads who have served as caddies on the golf links of the Ger- mantown Cricket Club, at a banquet at the clubhouse at Wissahickon Heights the other night The lads were delighted with the feast, but more pleased with the attention show ered upon them by the dignified men of affairs, who left nothing undone to make them happy. As the eighty-six youngsters, rans- ing in age from eight to sixteen years, sat about the banquet board, garbed in their regular costumes, Samuel T. Heebner, one of the old members of the club, wielded the carving knife, and huge slices of turkey were prompt ly hurried to the hungry youngsters by the millionaire waiters. First, ex-Mlnister to Italy, William Potter would hurry away with a plate, then Sheriff Brown and Diree tor of Public Safety Potter would rush from tho carver's side, carrying plat ters heaped with turkey and tempting vegetables. Edward S. Buckley, jr., president of the club, took a hand and was assisted by Vice-President H. H. Kingston, Harlan S. Page, Howard Perrin, Joseph S. Clark, Charles T. Cowperwalte, Henry A. Lewis, Robert C. Cooke, W'illiam R, Buckley, C. H. Potter, William DIsston and W. Find ley Brown, and all of them were busy looking after the wants of their cad dies, all of them men of great affairs. After the collation had been served, William C Houston, chairman of the golf committee, billed, the gathering to order and xnaue a brief address, in which hs congratulated the boys upon their b?havIor during the year. As a means of still further pleasing the cad Mes. each was nresented with a box of candy and prizes ranging from $1 to $2.50 la gold. A Propellor la the Air. 'An English device Is reported of aa air motor boat, which, while not re markable as a speed craft, is yet very nseful In navigating many bodies of water which on account of their ex treme shallowness are practically clos ed to navigation. Other deeper rivers and lakes are likewise avoided bv screw or paddle wheel craft on ac count of their growths of rank vege tation. A fiat, shallow draft launch has been constructed which overcomes both air Acuities, for its screw propeller or tan works, not In the water but in the air. Driven by a motor, the fan whirling In the air sends the boat along at a good rate of speed. Curara one of the deadly poisons, and that with which South American Indians annolnt their arrow heads has been found very helpful la tSa treatment of hydrophobia. IN THE UM SOOIHLASD.

We left Washlngtoo on February eighteenth and after spending two de llghtful days in New York boarded the "Seminole" for Jacksonville, on Wash ington's birthday. Now the one accom plishment of my life has been that I was always a good sailor; but on this trip I had to succumb, never raising my head from the pillow from the hour we started until we reached Charles ton. I thought pretty faithfully of my son who was sick for 12 days while go ing to the Isthmus. It was a terrible passage for us, very cold, rainy and completely dismal Nearly every one was sick, only two ladies and a few gentlemen, my h"shanl among them being the exectio""?. I Md the dub ious pleasure of taking all my meals in my berth. For two nights the steamer pitched and rolled to such an extent, that my husband couldn't stay in his upper berth, and when we camo around Hatteras it seemed really peril ous. The captain said It v as the rough est night the boat had experienced for five years snd It will be a long, long while before I shall want to round Hatteras again! Saturday morning however the misery wa3 over, and at eight A. M. we stopped at Charleston, with a partially clear sky, and a few hours before vb in which to do the City. We drove to the "Battery" and walked the length of the sea wall there. The street Is broad, the houses rlc-t on tho street, their grounds on cither side planted with vegetables, magnolia trce3, roses In fullbloom.and a wealth of vlne3 everywhere. The houses hero were built before the war, and are immense three story structures fanning way back, with two and -three story verandas facing the South to atch the sea breeze. Quaint old carv ings are on the doors which are also resplendent with great brass knockers. The view Is fine nnd expansive, in cluding Charleston Harbor, Fort Sum- . " . . .
