"Dear Mr. Hargreaves: While you are extending the elective franchise to men. we are lehatlng the proprie ty of extending It to our wother* and slaters and daughters. 1 have no doubt they will enjoy or suffer that franchise here before it la extended to all the whites in England. I have been surprised to find how much at tention the question attracts, and how strong a party favors It in some oT the states If adopted In one state, sooner or later .It will become gen era!; for 1 am not aware of any con elusive argument against women vot ing when that privilege is enjoyed by all the men. There are but two ques S, lions Involved, I believe. In the de 'U'minatlnn of the abalract right : Are I ,dmen already sufficiently represent ed by their male friends or Is their Interest that Is unrepresented too in considerable to entitle them each to a whole vote as Is the case with luna tics. Idiots and children’ When the discussion shall be fairly engaged, 1 doubt If either of these questions will be decided in the aflfrmative. The participation of women In the duties of citizens at the poll* may serve to neutralixe some of the evils of the representative system as at present administered We Tlnd that in all hts social relations man tx>- comes basarous in proportion a* he Is Uolsted from the gentler sex. No man can develop symmetrically with out experiencing more or lees contin uously the Influence of women May It not be equally true of govern ments? Certain if we were to double our voting population by the addition of that number of persons who do not swear, who do not fight, who do not drink, who do not seek coveted jobs, and whose presence is a restraint al ways upon the vulgar und depraved, might not they prove the Just and nat ural complement of the male voters, and neutralize, If not cure, the gross er evils of the elective system as func tioning at present? (Signed! "JOHN BIGKlsOW" Highland Falls, Orange Co. N Y In reply Mr. Hargreaves wrote: "This question ma.kes progress here. All women who arc taxpayer* will • certainly very soon have the vote.” Many a Shaft at Random Sent Finda Mark the Archer Little Meant.

I.lke nil aurh question* It wna very hard to nnawer, aa It nil realn with the you Hit men themselves.

It nil rests with the hoy hlmnrlf, nnd thgre nre no two alike In the world, Hill hnd known, thin young mnn a long time nnd hnd never known him to lie A success In anything, so Mill replied, "Why don't you stay right where you are, go to the agriculture school for n while, learn the new funning methods, then apcrlnllze on something nnd you're hound to make money If you work, nnd work In the right w»y. Aa for you're going to New York. I don't want to he the one to ndtlse you. You might get along nil right and then again you might not.

The screen la then dropped, and the audi ence find themselves, without moving from their seats, in the projection room! That part of the play which is thrown upon the screen deals with the departure of Dennii from Ireland, the land of his birth; his adieus to his sweetheart. Noruh, and his arrival in America. He gets a job in the land of the free and the home of the white slaver as a porter In Hlaek Isolde's sa loon Here Pluck Houle discovers a portrait of Noruh. the little colleen in Ireland, on the top of a barrel which serve* as a dressing table in the squalid room of hts new porter. Den nis awakes the next morning to find a pocket book filed with hills lying on his manly chest. When he tries to return it to the management, he is told that it is a present from the boss, and that It might he used in bringing Norah to America. Dennis is delight ed, and sends Immediately for his sweetheart. But when Norah, most attractive In her helplessness arrives at the dock, there is no Dennis to meet her Hut there are two of the henchmen of Hlack laouie Craven and Mlondle - who assure her they will take her to the absent Dennis They lead her to a house whose atmosphere and locale nre anything hut reassuring; Dennla. has meanwhile, been able to prove that he is innocent of stealing the pocket hook, on which charge the wily l,oitle has had him arrested, and he hurries to the scene of Norah'® Imprisonment Here the film stops, and the curtain is Again lifted, revealing the interior sets <»f the house in place. Play Finished Before Audience King Haggott steps from the wings with a brief apology to his cast for having kept them waiting "l was Just thinking as I cane across Forty second street,” he adds, as he adjusts his Dennis make-up at the little ta ble. "what a great thing It would he if we could only act as naturally be fore a camera or an audience as we are acting now!” The audience laughs appreciatively After a few more re marks. in which the fact Is brought out that it is many year® since any of these actors have done a part upon the speaking stage the King is ready The camera man. whose machine decorate* the front of the stage, takes his place behind the crank, the sharp command. “Place*!

Th actlon of the play is finally completed, however, and the audience is shown the process of developing, printing and drying films while they wait for the last scene, which has Just been taken to lie finished and thrown upon the screen. This process of picture manufacture is filmed and shown upon'the curtain, with comments hv King Maggot Then the interior scenes of “The Halted Trap.” which have been enacted before the awe-struck eyes of the audience hut a few mo ments before, close a performance which is a novelty, hut which is far more than a novelty in that it has possibilities for future development.

If the movement started by the ra il tits’ Association ol’ Brooklyn Heights Seminary succeeds, the teachers and the children of Brooklyn will have oc- i caslon for gratitude.

Brooklyn at which the bund played j "Home, Sweet Home." at midnight, and the lights were turned out soon ; ttftervv We do not hear so muny complaints i of the course of study in our high i schools as we did some years ago. partly because that course has been modified somewhat, under pressure from physicians and parents, and part ly because of a wider recognition of i the fact that the corse is devised for pupils who get eight or nine hours of sound sleep every night. Children who only go to the theatre or dance® on Friday or Saturday nights and who 1 devote themselves as seriously to their school work as they will expect to do to the paid work of a few years later, can do the work of the school® with out injury to their health.
