There are several signs that the
woman suffrage movement in this
country is growing. The most sig
nificant one, says the Washington
Star, is the attention that
churchmen are beginning to pay it.
Bishop Doane, of Albany, of the Epis
copal commnuion, is of this number,
and Cardinal Gibbons is another.
Both are opposed to the movement,
and have expressed themselves in
very emphatic terms. Will the
movement, prevail? Its strength nu
merically cannot, be stated. There
has been no canvass, and hence there
are no statistics worthy of consider
ation. Until quite recently there was
no businesslike national organization.
But. that matter is being attended to
now, and by women of energy and
means. Money, of course, is an item.
It is in all large movements. And
money now is at the service of those
advocating the opening of the ballot
box to women. Campaign expenses
are guaranteed, and the work will be
begun in earnest.
Night on Bald Mountain.
On a lonely night Alex Benton of

Mountain to the home of a neighbor,
tortured by Asthma, bent on curing
him with Dr. King's New Dis
covery that had cured himself of
asthma. This wonderful medicine
soon relieved and quickly cured his
neighbor. Later it cured his son's
wife of a severe lung trouble. Millions
believe its the greatest Throat and

Croup, Hemorrhages and Sore Lungs
are surely cured by it. Best for
