THE FATHER OP HIS OO0NTST
Honoring1 Washington's Birthday—
The Old Soldiers and Sailors Celebra-
tion—"Washington Guards* Recep-
tion-
The anniversary of Washington's birthday was
not publicly celebrated in this city yesterday,albeit
there was a general cessation of business and a dis-
plaj' of bunting from every prominent business
house. The courts were closed, the banks shut
their doors at 31 o'clock, the Cotton exchange at 12
and all around there was a manifest desire to ob-
serve the day as a holiday. Tnis was done in the
afternoon and evening by the following entertain-
ments:
The first annual camp-fire of Edmund J. Davis,
Post No. 2, Grand Army of the Republic, was
lighted last night in the hall over Goggan's store,
corner of Market and Twenty-second streets.
There were between 180 and 200 ex-soldiers and
sailors of the Union service with their friends in
attendance when General A. G. Malloy, com-
mander or the post, rapped for order. In welcom-
ing the visitors. General Malloy spoke as follows:
Gentlemen: As commander of this post of the
Grand Army of the Republic, and on behalf of its
members. I extend to you a cordial welcome. We
are proud to see you around our camp fire, and you
are invited to join with the comrades in making
this a merry evenins. Let us on this occasion re-
new the tales tnat have been told, the songs that
have been sung and the jokes that have been said,
and that so often in the dark days of war made the
members of our mess forget the hardships and pri-
vations, incident to the life of him who served his
country in those trying times. I again bid you
welcome on behalf of this post, and trust you may
enjoy its camp-fire. The general then presented
the sentiment, the Government of the United
States, which was responded to by Major H. Koe-
nig^berger. who said: With pleasure do I respond
to your toast, the Government of the United States.
\ government not created by so-called divine
rights, nor existing by mere inheritance, nor es-
tablished by fcree of arms, but a government
created by the will and choice of the people, and
therefore the best government on the surface of the
globe. A government wnich insures free-
dom, in the full sense of the word,
to all; and byfil that guarantee of free-
dom. the full right to each and every
one to enjoy life and happiness according to his
own views and notions: a government under which
the merits of every man are fully acknowledged
and not only acknowledged, but utilized; a govern-
ment where a maa can rise from obscurity to the
highest station among his people, and that simply
bv his individual worth. To show the beauty and
advantages of anything it is necessary to institute
comparisons, therefore let us try to compare our
government with the others, and the more we
scrutinize the government the more we see that no
other ia the world can be compared with ours.
Glance at the situation of Europe; take each and
every country in that hemisphere, and you will
perceive that the bonds which hold them together
are ornamented with bayonets and cannons, the
love for the government and the resoect which is
demanded, prompted by lead and cold steel. Un-
der such circumstances you can easily perceive
that the enthusiastic feeling which dwells in the
breast of every citizen of the United States can not
be toulid in subjects held down by millions of
soldiers ready to explain by force what amount
of love must be bestowed upon their government.
It is said that spring itself would be but gloomy
weather if we had nothing else but spring; and I
say most emphatically that no man can appreciate
freedom and our government who has not felt the
Jiangs of oppression. Therefore, I love this govern-
ment with all my heart—with all my soul; and
closing I will use the eloquent toast of old Rip "Van
Winkle, paraphrased so suit the occasion: May this
government live forever and prosper for eternity.
The toast was received with great applause. After
this toast the guests participated in a collation.
The table was spread with all the delicacies of ths
season, and with wine, music, song and general
conversation a pleasant time followed.
Afterwards the toast, the President of the United
States was given and was happily responded to by
Mr. R. II. Tieruan.
The Grand Army of the Republic was given and
replied to by Mr. Hourigan, of the post. To the
Army and Navy—honor was eloquently paid in a
tribute by Lieutenant Sim ins.
The city of Galveston was represented by Major
Burrows, who spoke in an exceedingly happy man
ner. All the sentiments were well received and
strongly applauded. The camp-fire burned until a
late hour in the night.
The Washington Guards, at their armory, last
night, entertained their friends in handsome style.
The event was of informal character, but the affair
was none the less pleasant for that. The guard",
never do matters in half-way form, and the cele-
bration and pleasure-making last night were in full
keeping with the well-known reputation of the com-
pany.
At the Reach park yesterday afternoon there was
a regular multitude of little folks, to
whom the hippodrome races were a
novelty and extremely attractive. The
generous offer of the park "managers to afford the
iittie folks a free entertainment has met with words
of praise and commendation upon every side. The
pleasure that was given the children, as evidenced
upon their faces, of itself was amply sufficient re-
turn for all the trouble of getting up the matinee.
But not alone were the children given a treat.
There were numbers of grown up people, ladies and
gentlemen, present, many of whom had never seen
the races before, and all of whom were delighted
with them. The riding of Miss Peek, Miss Burk
and Madame Marantette, with the various other
specialties on the programme, were all strongly
applauded.
The Silver Carnival-
The entertainment given by the children of
Madame L. Louis's dancing-school at Harmony
thea-er last night was largely attended, and offered
ample scope to the little ones to exhibit all the
graces and artistic movements they have learned
under the skillful training of Madame Louis. Many
of the figures were pleasing and attractive, espe-
cially noticeable being the national dance, wherein
Columbia and General Washington tripped to-
gether. The characters were well taken by Jennie
Weisand Charlie Steger:2Irisn tilt, Carrie Keenan
and David Davidson; tambourine poika, Kitty
Keenan and Joe Wolston; jockey hornpipe,
Irene I'ilmann and Clarence Weis; la Manola
Zoe Wolston and Louis Sinclair; Pas Terian, Essie
Gresham and Eddie Kahn; Highland Fling, little
Marian Rosenfield. The programme was lengthy
—too long to be given in its entirety. The costumes
wei e handsoiii'', and the dancing of the little folks
was graceful and elegant. The following is a list
of the children who took part: Misses Carrie
Keenan. Edith Foster, Hannah Halff, Annie Clegg,
Bella Halff, Bella Weis, Nellie Steger, Francis
W<*is. Est a Halff, Isabel Maas, Zoe Wolston, Kitty
Keenan. HennieMaas, Jennie Weis, Marian Rosen-

David Davidson, Harry West, Sol Davidson and
Edward Kahn.
To-day at 2 o'clock Beauty and the Beast will be
presented, and all the fancy dances will be re-
peated.
Laid to Tlesta
The final tribute was paid yesterday to the mem-
ory of a friend and brother when the remains of
Mr. A. C. Crawford were laid to rest. The funeral
was attended by the Masons and by all of the old
citizens, together with many of the younger gener
ation. who, coming upon the scene in the later
years, have known Mr. Crrfwford and esteemed
iiim for his worth and merit. The religious exer-
cises were conducted by Rev. I. G. John, Mr.
Young and Dr. Sears. The Masonic service was
given by Mr. W. H. Nichols, grand mas-
ter of the Grand Lodge of Masons of the State
of Texas. The body was conve> ed to its resting-
place under eseort of the Knights Templar, the
blue lodges attending. The paii-bearers walked
beside the hearse and were escorted by a detach-
ment of Galveston artillery, under command of
Lieutenant Garsia, actiug as a guard of honor. A
long line of carriages followed the remains to the
grave, where the closing words were said, the final
prayer offered, and the sands were shoveled upon
the mortality of a man who was held in high regard
through the whole community.
x?2rs- Anderson Found.
The statement yesterday morning given by The
News that Mrs. Anderson hod been found,attracted
general attention. Later and closer investigation
of the case confirms the fact that the lady is un-
doubtedly Mrs. Anderson. Mr. Hennessey, who
had gone to Houston 011 the previous afternoon,
came down yesterdav morning and took \-oung Mr.
Anderson to where his mother was stopping with
friends. Of the meeting nothing can be said. It was
sacred to the two. It is learned that Mrs. Anderson
since her disappearance has been occupying a
rooui i't a boarding-house on Market street, be-
tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets. It was
here tl.ai she was found by the detectives, who
took her to a private residence. She had been ill
for some ten days, and was, when found and re-
cognized, suffering from weakness and nervous-
ness. She was given every attention that could be
bestowed, •
The Xiast cf an Excursion Party-
Mr. Gaston Meslier, special passenger agent of
the Missouri Pacific railway; Mr. j. D. McBeath, of
Boston, New England passenger agent of the same
line: Mr. J. J. Fowler, an old-timer in this State
among the railroad boys, but now eastern passen-
ger ag^nt of the system, with headquarters at
Utica, N. Y., and Mr. A. G. Murphy, a Philadelphia
real estate man, came in 3 esterday. These gentle-
men are the last of an excursion party of 125 who
came into the State about two weeks ago under
Mr. Meslier's charge. The party was composed
principally of land buyers, and members were left
in various parts of the State, where they wished io
prospect or invest. The gentlemen who are here
leave for St. Louis to-day.
lisiv Newman's Promotion-
It is lea (Tied that the new order of the Missouri-
Pacific company, which promotes Mr. W. h. New-
man to be traffic manager for Texas and Louisi-
ana. is in effect to extend the scope of his authority
to the passenger as well as freight business of that
territory. Mr. Newman has, as yet, received no
official communication with regard to the appoint-
ment and could not give a News reporter any in-
formation about the matter when called upon yes-
terday.

FROM LAREDO.
SHEEP IN SPLENDID CON-
DITION.
■Angora Goats—Federal Court Ques-
tion—New Sdarket-Honso—Acci-
dent— Railroad Notes, Etc.
ESpecial to The news.1
Laredo, February 28.—Washington's birthday
was observed here to-day by a general closing of
public buildings and a liberal display of national
bunting, on both sides of the river. To-night there
will be given a dance by the young folks at the
Adams opera-house. „
Mr. A. Bruna, formerly deputy sheriff of Webb
county, received yesterday over the International
a flock of 220 Angora goats from the celebrated
Bailey flock at San Jose, Cal. These animals are
pronounced by experts to be the finest lot of An-
gora goats in the State. The News reporter was in-
vited to witness the operation of sheariug these ani-
mals to-day, and found that by actual weight the
fleece averasred three pounds to the goat, the oldest
in the flock being less than twenty months old,
while the fleece from the boss of the herd pulled
the scales to eight pounds. This clip of mohair
will be shipped direct to New York, where it is
quoted at CO cents per pound. The purpose of jlr.
Brune is to establish a breeding ranch near La-
redo, where full-blooded Angora goats will be raised
for sale.
The News reporter has made it a point this week
to interview all of the largest flock-masters in the
Laredo district as to the condition of the sheep at
the present time, and without exception they all
report that their flocks have never passed through
a winter in better condition and with less loss, and
especially is the report favorable to the lambing
season, which has already commenced. It is con-
fidently reported that the great logs sustained by
the sheep interests last winter will be fullv recov-
ered this spring, which is an important fact for
Laredo when it is considered that her citizens own
over a naif million sheep.
Postmaster Burbank to-day, under instructions
from the postotfice department, employed a mail
carrier temporarily to convey the mails between
the two Laredos, and for the present at least the
inconvenience of not having this important mail
will be avoided.
Letters received to-day from Congressman Ochil-
tree encourage the hope that Laredo will sbon
have a term of the United States Court for the
Western District of Texas. Already the Milmo Bro-
thers have agreed to erect a suitable building to ac-
commodate this court and its officers so soon as the
bill becomes a law.
Even the enemies of ex-United States Marshal
Stillwell Russell deprecate the recent assault made
upon him in the columns of a Houston paper. The
general opinion is that he is serving out his sen-
tence-whether guilty or innocent—and that the
mantle of forsetfulness should bo thrown over the
errors of the past.
The roof of the new market-house and hall will
be ready for the tinners next week, and it is sug-
gested by many that the commodious hall up stairs
in the building, which is 80x50 feet, should be con-
verted into public school-rooms until such time as
the city wiil be able to build a suitable school-

The last remnant of the heavy grading outfit,
taken to Mexico, eighteen months ago. by Hunter,
Tampsel & Weller, to construct the Great Inter-
oceanic and Oriental railroad, from Laredo to the
City of Mexico, returned through Laredo to-day.
It is understood that these contractors keep
a few men at work on the end of
the grade near Mier, 100 miles from
Laredo, in order to prevent a forfeiture of the con-
cession, and thereby protect their contemplated
purchase of the road when it will be sold in a few
days by order of the Mexican courts to satisfy a
judgment in favor of these contractors against the
construction company, who undertook to byild the
road.

The demand for fruit and shade trees has been
so great in Laredo this winter as to exhaust the
supply on hand in the San Antonio nurseries.
THE DEAD MINERS.
Scenes at the Obsequies—Revulsion of
Sentiment-
Uniontown, Pa., February 22.—The funeral of
the victims of the explosion at West Leisinring
took place this morning. A special train ran out to
the shaft from Uniontown and returned with the
bodies and friends. At 9 o'clock four cars filled
with relatives of the dead arrived, and the scene
was sad in the extreme. Three victims were in.
terred here, six at Dunbar, seven at Connellsville,
and two have been sent to Washington, D. C.
Large crowds assembled at each place. There
were no special services.
Among the miners a revulsion of sentiment has
taken place within the last twenty-four hours, and
talk of the explosion being caused by negligence is
now widespread. The feeling is very bitter, and
one miner has retained an attorney to attend the
inquest to-morrow and exact the truth from wit-
nesses concerning the condition of the shaft. A
score of miners are willing to affirm that the air
was bad for a week back, and that they could Dot
work without complete exhaustion.
One big miner named Duffle, who worked in room
No. 6, right in the midst of the place charred by the
explosion, refused to work ob the morning of the
disaster, because, he said, "No man could live in
the place."
A committee of inquiry, representing the afflicted
families, has been organized to gather information
to present before the coroner's Inquest.
A young man named Dugan, who had several
relatives Killed by the explosion, claims to have
discovered evidence to the effect that the accident
was chiefly caused by the boarding up of the air-
shaft at night by carpenters who were making re-
pairs. The shaft was closed to prevent people fall-
ing in. and the gas which accumulated at night was
more than could be driven out in the day. Mean-
while the company are sparing no expense to bury
the dead and relieve the suffering and afflicted.
Damaging- Statement.
Uniontown, Pa., February 22.—Win. Pegg, one of
the men employed at Leiseuring. has made a state-
ment reflecting severely on officials, etc., and on

never appointed a fire boss for the shaft, and that
the ventilation heading where the explosion oc-
curred was very bad. •

terest in the question and felt flattered at being ap-

London, February 22.—Mr. Parnell's amendment
condemning the government's policy in Ireland
was debated in the House of Commons this even-

The O'Donoghue iLiberal) censured the Parnell-

bugged and gammoned Irishmen with oromises
which were never realized. It was by such means,
he said, the Parnellites had obtained power. Al-

THE LASKER RESOLUTION.
Views of the Times on the Incident.
London, February 22.—The Times article upon
the Lasker incident says: At last Bismarck has ob-
tained an opportunity to show his dislike of the
country which annually robs him of thousands of
conscripts. Congress was ill-advised in sending the
resolution and Bismarck was ungracious in return-
ing it. Granting, however, that Bismarck was
right in refusing praise to Herr Lasker, his organs
are wrong in reviling Minister Sargent. The latter
was only obeying his government, and this is no
reason why he should be held up in defiance of in-
ternational courtesy and almost international law
to the contempt of the German people.
It is said that Sargent is hardly careful enough cf
forms and ceremonies to please a court so formal
as that at Berlin, but a worse moment ty try and
induce him to resign could hardly have been chosen
than the present, when his resignation would still
further strain the relations of the two countries,
which ought to be on excellent terms.
Another View on the Subject.
Berlin, February 22.—The Deutsche Tageblatt,
commenting upon Bismarck's reply to the Lasker
resolution, repels the interference of a foreign legis-
lature in the internal affairs of Germany, and criti-
cises the diplomatic intermediary method employed
in the transmission of the resolution, and then says:
" We believe Herr Lasker was unknown to the ma-
jority of congressmen, and their object in adopting
the resolution was to gain German votes in the
coming presidential election and win the love of
Germans at home who are desirous to throw the
gates of fatherland wide open to American im-
ports. ''

Four Negroes Arrested on Suspicion.
Cincinnati. February 22.—-An examination of the
bodies of the Taylor family, found in the Ohio Med-
ical college, mentioned in last night's dispatches,
show that all three had been murdered, all the
bodies showing unmistakable signs of violence, the
skulls of Taylor and wife being fractured. Whether
the family was murdered for money or the dissect,
ing table is not known, but the general belief is
that they were killed for the latter purpose. The
house where Taylor lived was a desolate spot, half
a mile from any neighbor. Allen Ingalls, Jeff
Lout, Richard Ingalls and Ben Johnson, all colored,
and residing in the vicinity of the murder, have
been arrested, suspected of being the perpetrators
of the crime.
The Bodies Discovered.
Cincinnati, February 22.—Marshal Brown, of
Avondale, has been the means of discovering the
bodies of the Taylor family in the Ohio Medical
college, and causing the arrest of the four col-
ored men named in the previous dispatch
as the murderers. The bodies were received
at the Medical college Friday night. Dr. Cilly,
demonstrator of anatomy, says he knows the men
who brought the bodies to the college, but does
not know their eames, as such business
is always done with as little ceremony as possible.
He bad no suspicion they were murdered until Mar-
shal Brown identified them, and he fouud their
skulls crushed. The colored men arrested are not^
openly known to be resurrectionists, but there has
been uncertainty about how one of them supported
himself.
The examination begins at Avonsdale to-morrow.
Statement of Ingalls.
Cincinnati, February 22.—Richard Ingalls. one
of the men arrested for the murder of the Taylor
family, at Avondale, has made a statement to-night
to the effect that John Harris, a man he never
knew until last Friday, engaged him at 5
in the afternoon to assist in taking the
bedies to ihe Medical college, and fixed the
place of meeting on the turnpike at 9 o'clock. They
met, and shortly after a man with a wagon came
along whom he does not know. They drove a short
distance, when Harris pointed out the bodies in a
fence-cornor in the sacks. As soon as the wagon
was loaded, all started back to the city, but Harris
stopped in the wagon and was gone half an hour.
He came uack running and the cabin on fire was
then seen. They drove to the college, delivered
the bodies and got their pay. Sayler, the mur-
dered man, was formerly a resurrectionist and In-
galls was his partner. The name of one of the
prisoners, given as Lout, should be Rout.

changed to be given to-night. In the first
arrangement there was a sort of poetic
fitness in beginning and ending the festival with a
Mephistophelian opera, which is destroyed by
this change. Nilsson appeared as Marguerite,
Madame Frebelli as Martha, Campanini as Faust.
Mirabella as Mcphistopheles, and Grazzi as Wag-
ner. _

enviable a name has this famous Mineral Wa-
ter that the managers of inferior mineral springs,
desirous of imitating the natural purity of the bot-
tled water of Congres Spring, inject a powerful
acid in their bottled water to preserve the crude
ingredients in solution, being so heavily laden with
LIUS AND IRON DEPOSIT.
With such contrivances, bogus testimonials and
doctored analysis cards, they seek to rival the pure
medicinal waters of Congress Spring.
rjlHE regular season visitors to Saratoga fully un-
derstand these crude, harsb waters, many of them
after painful experiences. In proof of this fact we
can -produce a great many responsible names. But
the Saratoga visitors without experience, and many
who use the bottled waters (often labelled as cura-
tives for disorders which they positively aggra-
vate), should remember that crude, harsh mineral
waters produce headache, a sense of burning and
internal irritation, and do irreparable injury to
the digestive organs and kidneys.

The Current Leading to Death's
Whirlpool, and How a Promi-
nent Man Avoided It.
[Albany (N. Y.) Journal.]
Among the hundreds of thousands of tourists who
have visited Niagara Falls and stood in awe before
its miracle of power, there is, probably, not one who
has failed to notice the large stone building which
stands directly opposite the cataract and a short
distance below the railroad suspension and canti-
lever bridges. This building is known to all as the
Monteagle House, and it has been a popular place
uf resort for hundreds of travelers tor many vears.
Nearly every place in America possessing unusual
natural scenery has its legend, and a most tragical
one is located on the site where this stone buildiug
now stands. Monteagle, a young chieftain of the
Miami Indians, loved the daughter of a mighty chief
among the Iroquois. His wooing, unlike that of
Hiawatha, was not received with favor by the
father chief, and hence he was compelled to resort
to the usual methods of abduction and flight. The
escaping pair were overtaken on the banks of the
Niagara where the hotel now stands, and rather
than submit to capture the lovers cast themselves
into the cataract below. Their bodies were subse-
quently found at the mouth of the river, clasped in
an embrace which even the cataract could not sun-
der. Many occurrences since that time have tended
to make the Monteagle famous, and it was with sur-
prise that it was learned a short time since that the
edifice was to be entirely transformed, rearranged
and refurnished for the bueefit of tourists, and
especially invalids.
Feeling that this is a subject in which the public
would take unusual interest, especially as the Na-
tional park question is being so strongly agitated,
a representative of this paper visited Niagara Falls
yesterday and learned the following facts:
Dr. W. R. Crumb, who is about undertaking this
important task, is a gentleman who is well-known
throughout the land, having successfully practiced
medicine in the city of Buffalo for nearly thirty
years. He is exceedingly well preserved, though
nearly 60 years of age, while his energy and ambi-
tion are something wonderful. In conversation
with the reporter he said:
441 anticipate great success here, although a few
yeaip ago I 9hould not have dared undertake it, for
I was then what people call a 4 dead man.' "
" How was that, doctor? How did it occur?"
" It was brought about, as such troubles usually
are, by mental and physical depression, arising out
of troubles and reverses. The mind has a remark-
able effect upou the body and wheu one meets with
misfortunes financially, or in any other form they
are likely to be accompanied by misfortunes physi-
cally. Such at all events, was my case. 1 was irri-
table, restless and feverish. I had a heavy and
irregular pulse, my food did not assimilate, my
heart would throb violently and then stop and the
fluids I passed were profuse, high-colored and
thick with deposits. I was obliged to abandon my
practice, and also to suspend pushing my valuable
invention, known as * Crumb's pocket inhaler,' for
the cure of catarrh and asthma."
44 How long did this continue?"
44 For about two years I realized that I was quite
sick. but. like every one else, I felt it would only be
temporary. The majority of people drift along the
way a man might, who knew uothing about these
great falls and was floating with the current. It is
so easy to drift, you see. At the end or a year,
however, ray condition became simply horrible. I
had a serious irritation of the throat, a hard, slug-
gish pulse, a swelling of the limbs aud a numbness
extending down ths thighs. I had terrible night
sweats, and my urine was loaded with albumen
and acids. I called iu several of the most skilled
physicians, but I continued to sink radidly. I was
the victim of Bright s disease of the kidneys, and I
looked forward with almost certainty to a few
weeks of terrible agony, and then—death!" * * *
It is painful to describe this experience, and it is
sufficient to say that I am entirely well and that
my life has been saved by means of Warner's Safe
Cure, which arrested the disease, effect*.d a cure,
and has preserved me in health ever since."
"Then it was this remedy that saved your life,
doctor?"
44 Yes. I can testify from a grateful heart that it
is invaiuable for men or women who are depressed
by reason of disappointments and reverses, who
are losing flesh and* strength and who must find re-
lief or a fatal termination await? them. I prescribe
this great remedy to my patients constantly, and
the wonderful effects I observed in my own case I
see repeated in their experiences. It is this that
makes me certain I can endure the cares of the
great Sanitarium I am about to establish."
The A£ullein Plant.
Dr. Qtiillan, a celebrated physician of Dublin, has
just written, in an English medical journal, of his
wonderful experimental results with the common
mullein plant upon luug and bronchial affections,
citing cases where he had given it to consumptives
with the most astonishing result, and recommends
its use by the profession. Referring to the above,
we would state that44 Taylor's Cherokee Remedy
of Sweet Gum and Mullein." made from the for-
mula of the medicine men of the Cherokee Nation,
is composed not only of the mullein plain, but has
incorporated with it the sweet gum, the finest
stimulating expectorant known, presenting an
agreeable taste and a certain panacea for Coughs,
Croup. Whooping Cough, Colds and all Bronchial
Affections. For sale by Thompson <£: Ohmstede,

LADIES,
READ!
CURED!
£%v*iToy, Texas, February 15, 18$ 1.
We have sola several kinds of female tonics and
bitters, but believe that
SSOZHiLZIR'S BERLIN2R TONIC,
Or BLACK HAW BITTERS,
is better than any other kind of tonic or bitten
put up for Female Complaints. We know ol
three cases where BERLINER TONIC effected a
cure after other preparations of similar kind had
failed; and we know of one case where a lady
been suffering for two years, employing the best
doctors, but without any relief even. After she
had used the first bottle of BERLINER TONIC ^
marked change for the better was noticed. She
has now used three bottles, and is in a fair way oi
recovery.
We believe that. BERLINER TONIC is the best
preparation of its kind for all kinds of Female
Complaints in the world, and we can not recom-
mend it too highly to the suffering female sex.
We make this statement, unsolicited, for the ben-
efit of suffering humanity. «
