NEW YORK, May 31. "We rail it
morality to tie two comparative
strangers together so inextricably
that they either have to remain
hideously bound, or else wade into
the mud to get free.’’
Winifred James, the well-known
English—or rather Australian—
authoress, is among us and yesterday
afternoon made the above remark
and expressed in her customary, easy
m ner. other of her views on mat
rimony. She recently returned from
a trip to the West Indies.
"The marriage eeremony in Jamaica
is not followed very rigorously," said
Miss James, "but in all the months
1 was there I only once saw a negro
woman treated harshly or unkindly."
"Now please do not misunderstand
mo." she continued. "I don't argue
against marriage. It must have been
a necessary thing for the race, other
wise it would not have survived so
many centuries. But it needs a great
deal of adjusting for present uses if
there is to be any decent and true
morality in it.
"it cannot be right in this age of
enlightenment, when even lost dogs
and stray cats have champions and
when every care is taken to prolong
the life of the epileptic and the im
becile. that there should be no hope
for two fools who at a period when
their intelligence was limited or may
be temporarily dimmed, put their
arms around each other and Jumped
without any conception of the depth
of the water.
"Oh, yes, I know all about the ar
guments against divorce. *It will
break up the home life.' Surely it
would. It would break up the un
happy home life, that is what it is
for. and the sooner the better.
"We are too much given to portray
natural inclinations as sins. Teach
the girl that it is just as unho
ly to sell her body in the church
as in a street, and you will diminish
your divorce list very considerably.”

hoi land. one of the leaders of the

everything in a special article. It
follows:
By INEZ MILHOLLAND.
We suiTragists have a good'com
modity to dispose of—the service we
can render the Slate as voters—ar.d,
that being true, we do what every
holder of a good commodity does—
we advertise it.
We nave megaphoned, "sandwich
boarded," tree-planted, "hiked," talked
in tiie halls of law-makers, the draw
ing rooms of fashionable ladies and
the sidewalks of the East Side. We
have tried to keep our question stead
ily before a hurrying public, ever
doing our simpler work beneath the
liies ar.d drone of the calciums. We
have put forward our propaganda in
pageants nnd in parades.
At flr.sr our opponents said we were
"dowds," "frumps" and repellent
creatures, anxious for attention be
cause we were without attraction for
the masculine sex. Now they criti-
cis us for being becomingly gowned
and criticise us for making a "nex

Professor Edward T. Reichert
Announces the Discovery of a
Method of Distinguishing.
PHILADELPHIA, May 31.—Prof
Edward T. Reichert of the University
of Pennsylvania, in a report just
made to the Carnegie Institution at
Washington on his researches to dis
cover if possible a method of produc
ing life artificially, has announced the
discovery of the blood characteristic?
of various hum in races.
Dr. Reichert declares that as soon
ns he has completed his experiments
he will be able to differentiate be
tween the blood of a Chinaman, In
dian, negro and other races so as to
make his discovery of absolute value
in a diagnostic way for medico-legai
work. ,
Blood Crystals Differ.
By a study of the different blood
cells I)r Reichert says he has found
that it is absolutely impossible to
mistake the blood crystals of one an
imal for those of another. Just as it
would be impossible to mistake the
animals themselves.
Dr. Reichert describes his discov
ery by enumerating some of the an
imals that he has reclassified. In the
old method of classifying animals ac
cording to their tribes the bear was
always i laced in the same family as
the dog. the wolf and the fox.
By the new method of comparing
the blood crystals of those animal*
Dr. Reichert has proved to his satis
faction that the tear ts related close
ly to the sea Mors and the seals, as
naturalists have contended, and is
not related to the dog, the wolf or
the fox.
In the bird world Dr. Reichert says
the guinea fowl has been classed as
belonging to the same family as the
domestic fowl. He has proved also to
his satisfaction that the guinea fowl’s

ed by Law, California Naturalist
Telle City School Board.
LOS ANGELES, CAL., May 31.—
That the time will come when har
monious mental vibration and under
standing between man and woman
will be the requirements for marriage
was the startling statement made to
day by a well-known naturalist.
Charles Kellogg, at a meeting of the
city school teachers.
According to Kellogg, there is a
certain vibration between persons, the
same as vibrations between wireless
telegraph stations. The pitch of this
vibration between any two persons
muut vary, and Kellogg’s idea is that
before a man and woman should mar
ry they should be in "tune" with each
other and thereby have mutual under
standing He told the teachers no
wild animal was ill. except those dis
turbed by the fear of man.

Worse Off Than Last
Year.
NEW YORK, May 31.—Henry W
Hubbard, treasurer of the American
Missionary Association for 35 years,
died of heart failure yesterday after
noon in a vault of the Safe Deposit
Company of New York, in the Singer
Building. He had gone to the vault
to deposit securities for the associa
tion and to cut coupons that were
due
He seemed in excellent health at 3
o’clock in the afternoon, when he said
to the Rev. Charles J. Ryder, secre
tary of the association, as he was
leaving hts office at 287 Fourth Ave-
nut: "Well, I’m going downtown and
clip coupons. I’m awfully late this
month."
Head Clerk Mitchell of the Safe De
posit Company, wondered why Mr.
Hubbard was staying in the vault so
long. At closing time the door was
opened with a passkey. Mr. Hubbard
it with his head reeking on a table.
He had been dead about an hour, a
surgeon from the Hudson Street Hos
pital said.
CLEVELAND, May 31.—John D.
Rockefeller is rapidly losing his
wealth and is becoming practically a
poor man, according to the report of
John T. Fisher, tax assessor for
Cleveland Heights, in which place the
Forest Hill estate of the oil king is
situated.
The figures show that a year ago
Mr. Rockefeller returned his personal
property as worth $7,190. This year
he is poorer by $2,905, his return of
personal property being $4,285.
Last year Mr. Rockefeller’s farm
superintendent included some grain
in the returns. John D. objected to
that on the ground that the grain
w’as to be used on his estate and that
it was not returnable as personal
property and should not be taxed.
This year the grain was missing from
the tax duplicate.
The figures show that John D. has
nine horses worth $55 each, ten
head of cattle worth $40 each and
furniture worth $3,800. He has no
automobiles here at the time of the
year that the assessments were made,
so none is returned for taxation.

though they pay more attention to
their uniforms and general appear
ances than wo do. In our ranks were
a veitf significant number o£ happy,
healthy, red-blooded, joyous women.
But now to other things. Political
justice is more important than parted
skirts of Paris styles. Let us con
sider aootn of the deeper points of
our recent parade and the finer prin
ciples that we stand for.
Advertising is but attracting the .at
tention of the consumer. The public
mind is as susceptible as a photo
graphic plate. When positive pictures
are flashed before it it will record
them and thereby change its own na
ture. Psychology tells us that to
arouse interest attention must bt
concentrated. For instance, a man
might observe a quiet landscape plac
idly and unemotionally, with hie at
tention spread over the whole field
of his vision, but let a moving ob
ject, such as a horse, a deer, or a
pink parasol, appear on that land
scape. and his wandering attention
is focused and centered. He becomes
stimulated and curious and prone to
act.
However, by advertising we not
only win public attention; we also ed
ucate and develop ourselves. Es
pecially is this true in the parade.
Many a woman who marches in the
cause of woman suffrage knows what
it is for an ideal and for a princi
ple to master a shrinking nature, to
endure fatigue, to overcome the ob
jections of family and friends.
We show ourselves as well ,ip the
public that we are not made of slight
nnd subtle stuff. The last parade
was a hot and weary walk. Its man
agement was an executive problem.
But the end and reward of It all
was another victory for the cause we
love and an esprit de corps In our
own ranks in comparison with which
any inconvenience to ourselvee and
jibes of our enemies must seem un
substantial.
Nothing better than a suffrage pa
rade illustrates the truth that figures
leave much to be told; often the real
message and meaning of what is
numbered by these figures. For in
stance, 1 should never compare, in
the number of marchers, a suffrage
parade with the parades of one of the
present political parties, for the sim
ple reason that one woipan parader
represents in initial enthusiasm about
tour men. Men have grown surpris
ingly bored with and weary of the
active duties of citizenship, and when
they march they are pushed into line
by district leaders, business and pol
itical bosses and others in authority
over them
Women, on the other hand, have in
many cases to take the bit in their
teeth and fight against all those in
authority over them. At first every
woman fas to just make up her mind
and hold her breath and step off the
curbstone. And then comes the still
ing of every qualm, the forgetting of
all opposition and unkind remarks in
ihe real satisfaction of knowing that
j you hav? come out of the twilight of
indecision, have declared your faith
! In the open and answered, accoraing
! to your strength, when called by you:
j sisters jo Join their fight.
When the parade was over the
j E ther dt*> I noticed a little group of
' marchers on upper Fifth Avenue.
! D'hree of them were laughing and two
j cf them were energetically talking.
"What a’*e you doing p trading'’*
*Mrh.tly sheepish-looking '• oro \n m
i Due asked in surprise of another
slightly sheepish-looking woman.
"You know what you were saying to
John about women that marched and
showed themselves off.’’
"Yes, I know all light what I said
to John, ’ replied tho other woman,
"but when I saw you all marching by
I felt lik 1 a quitter. I found myself
marching, too; I just couldn’t help
it."
I did not know that woman, but I
was glaJ to hear her say what she
did. Mary women may not have fol
lowed her example, but others must
have felt something stir pretty cl03e
to the heart as they watched those
long-passing linns of white-clad, de
termined women. If I knew who the
w oman v as who made that remark
I would write her a letter and thank
her for ’.he personal pleasure sh.a gave
me. At the time I was too tired to
do anything.
Our parade was to make people
think. Ever\ section was arranged
with this end in view. We laid no
emphasis on the lesser things which
so easily fill the moment, but so ?uie-
ly fade with time Our object was to
give a ‘horough. rational training to
those who would only run. and read
while running. Instead of idly cheer
ing. we preferred to make the by
stander join our ranks, as did the
woman whom I overheard, or else to
go home and begin to think as we
think.
In our deeds, is well as In our pa
rades and pageants, we have driven
home the fact that we stand for jus
tice and a "square deal." We have
always in this country played the part
of good citizens and stepped into the
breach to help those in distress,
whether it was a township striving
for clean government, working peo
ple asking for fair conditions of la
bor, white slaves praying for free
dom, or impoverished immigrants
looking for justice. In these matters
we stand upon our record. We have
data for all who doubt.
