CONGRESS ASKD TO
PROTEST TO RUSSIA
WASHINGTON, March 3.—In con
tention with the establishment of im-
mlgrnnt stntions at Galveston. New
Orleans and Charleston, S. C-, Mr.
Bennett, of New York, will present to
tho House tomorrow a petition signed
by a distinguished list of American
citizens, calling upon the Congress of
1he United States to protest against
the "perverted use of Governmental
functions of what he said the Rus
sian people are victims.”
Th,. protest recites a list of atrocities
asserted to bo practiced by the Rus
sian Government in its prolonged
warfare against its own people."
The arraignment of the Russian
Government is as follows:
First—Thousands of men and wo
men are dragged from their homes
solely at the discretion or pleasure of
local military or police authorities:
placed in remote settlements of semi-
savages close to, and within the polar
circle, where the most loathsome dis
eases are chronically epidemic.
Second—Hospitals are deliberately
fired upon by the regular troops with
out rebuke.
Third—The Red Cross is not re
spected and the wounded are fre
quently slaughtered or thrown into the
sea or buried alive with the dead.
Fourth—Women, children, aged and
decrepit m
by sword slashings, torn by bayonet
and trampled under hoofs of horses.
Fifth -Girls and young women, in
habitants of districts under military
"protection,” are repeatedly given over
to violation by officers as well as or
dinary soldiers.
Sixth—Tortures aro applied to pris
oners within fortresses and prison to

that at least two of the girls are the

SPOONER RESIGNED
FROM 0. S. SENATE
WASHINGTON. March 3.—Senator
Spooner has .written a letter to Gov.
Davidson, of Wisconsin, tendering his
resignation as a Senator of the United
States to take effect May 1. next. The
letter was dated yesterday, but the fact
that such a letter had been written or
that Mr. Spooner contemplated resign
ing did not become known in the Sen
ate until late today, when it created
great surprise and the Wisconsin Sen
ator at once found himself the subject
of many anxious inquiries. To all he
replied that his mind was fully made
up. He had found, he said, that to con
tinue in his present position would re
quire a sacrifice on his part that he
. could not justify himself in making,
rc maimed^and killed j n reply to questions he said he would
' “ * *■ *■ rcsume the practice of law, but declined
to say whether he would be located in
Wisconsin. He did say, however, that
he would continue to he a citizen of
that State as long ns he lives.
Vice-President Fairbanks was one of
tho few public men to be made ac
quainted with My. Spooner’s plans be
fore he wrote his letter. The knowl
edge came to him through the personal
confidence ot the Senator, but the lat
ter made no official communication on
the subject to either the Senate or its
presiding officer. The law does not re
quire that a resigning Senator should
do more than Mr. Spooner has done,
but some Senators who have resigned
have given notice to the Senate.
Roosevelt’s Regrets.
On being informed of Senator
Spooner's resignation, the President
made the following statement:
"I can not sufficiently express my
regret at Senator Spooner’s resignation.
We lose one -ef the ablest, most ef
ficient, most fearless and most upright
public servants that the nation has.
Four years ago I knew the extreme re
luctance with which Senator Spooner
finally consented to serve in the Sen
ate. and year by year since I have
feared that he would resign, as he
finally has resigned, for I have known
that every year of his stay In public
life has been to him a direct financial
less he could ill afford. I understand
fully the Senator's feeling that he can
not longer stay in the public service
at such cost not only to himself but
to his family: and much as I regret his
resignation, I am most sincerely grate
ful that be has been willing to serve
as long. He has been in his life a gal
lant soldier, a trained public servant of
of ability and
faithfulness, and at all tim*' an Amer
ican citizen who did his whole duty.”

Amusements were limited also to
those to which no admission was
charged, and they had a long list of
places where an evening’s entertain
ment. either for pleasure or education,
could be had absolutely free of charge.
For reading matter they were boun
tifully supplied with book? from the
public libraries, and for fresh air had
a dozen nearby delightful walks, eith
er in the public parks or along the
handsome residential avenues.
Their plan of clothing was based on
a fair amount on marriage and a very
tion. mosf of our lives, and it is my
wish, desire and firm intention that
this conditon shall continue at and
after my-decease.
“NOTE—I mention this merely to
avoid question, because since we be
came of age we have separated and
there has been no particular affection
existing between us that I am aware
of.”
Miss Suffern was on hand when the
will was filed for probate in New-
burg. Her brother’s estate was worth
$125,000, being half as much as her
father left when he died. She still has
the other half with increments. In
describing Christ Church he called it
“of Suffern.” when in reality it was
organized in 1860 as Christ’s of “Ram-
apo.” So Miss Suffern started a con
test of which the end is not yet.
If the clause in the will enriching
Christ Church be proven invalid, about
S100.000 in farm lands will revert to
Miss Suffern, who .was so expressly
excluded.
She has a farm at Garnerville. one
at Tollman's, one at Ramsay and ona
at , Suffern. Her residence is any one
of them when she oiioo'es. and a little
box of a house in Suffern village when
she chooses neither.
Her goings and comings, which aro
in cowhide boots on foot, malgre the
seventeen horses and the ponly stal
lion. are invariably heralded and at-
tende by most of the twenty-eight-
dogs.
After the last fall of snow a boy one
day threw a snowball at one of her
dog?. The howl that it howled was a
sad affair. The next day all the school
boys in Suffern were on the streets
prepared to have some more of it.
But Miss Suffern is something of a
strategist She rnme up the street about
three in the afternoon bound for her
village farm where the stork had hist
brought a calf to the roan cow. Her
dogs were at her skirt in close order and
she resembled Diana In that she carried
a double-barrelled hammerless gun. Tho
street boys dived for cover like rabbits.
Janette marched on to the door of her
barn, turned and looked at what was left
of the crowd and then “broke" the gun
in their faces, blew through the empty
barrels and laughed out loud.
There are four churehes in the vbiage,
Christ's Eni=conal. a Catholic, a Metho
dist and a Presbyterian.
She eschewed Christ Chnrch because
her brother had a new there and began
with the Catholic Church. It was built
by Thonjas p. Ryan, whose country place
is a. mi'e away from one of'her farms.
One Sunday she came to high mass,
dogs and all. She marched doom tho
middle aisle with the collection padding
after her end installed herself in a-front
pew that was not hers. Of course thcro
was objection to the dogs.
Miss Suffern laughed and said a little
gospel might do them good. The sexton
took issue with her by ejecting the near
est dog. using the dog's tail for a handle,
Miss Suffern went away in a ebullient
frame of mind Her cows got out of her

were the predications of her cattle where

that were the glory of the church grfls.s-
pl.ots. The sexton and the village pound-
master rounded the herd un and Miss
Suffern had to purchase their freedom.

ing the last ten years the women who
died after completing 100 years, at
least, of life exceeded the male cen

of nearly So per cent.
Tested by the length of life, woman
can equally claim the superiority.
Bridget Danabar, who died last Marcn

old: Mary O’Hara, another daughter
of Erin, was only two years younger,
and Mrs. Sarah Egan, of King’s Coun

Bridget Somers, who ended her days
in Sligo workhouse in March, 1904,
