f ; FRAGE 
A meeting was held in the Man- 
ester ‘own hall Wednesday even- 
ing under the auspices of the organi- 
tion opposed to the further exten- 
sion of suffrage to women. It was 
airly well attended, and those who 
went were much impressed by the ar- 
_ guments of those taking part in the 
meeting. 
Mrs. A, J. George, field secretary 
of the organization and_ education 
committee of the state organization, 
and Truman R. Hawley, the associa- 
Bion counsel, were the speakers, Mrs. 
William Lowell Putnam, who is one 
of the leaders in the movement in this 
state, presided at the meeting and in- 
troduced the speakers. Mrs. Putnam 
spoke of the work of the - Women’s 
Municipal League of Boston and the 
good things it is doing, and she also 
spoke of the wonderful work growing 
_ out of the use of school buildings for 
community upbuilding. 
Mr. Hawley’s leading argument 
_ against extending further suffrage to 
women was based on the present fail- 
ure of women to take advantage of 
“the school vote, so-called. He cited 
different cities and gave statistics as 
to the number voting, In Manchester, 
he said, there were 670 women of the 
voting age in 1895 and of that num- 
_ ber one was registered and none vot- 
ed. In 1896 there were 19 registered 
and none voted. During the 18 years 
following to date there were only two 
years when women voted, ‘I‘he aver- 
age was 16 registered and one voting. 
wo percent. of the women all over 
the country that have the right to 
‘vote never do come out and take ad- 
vantage of their rights. 
Mrs. George is a clever speaker and 
has a most remarkable memory, as 
was evidenced by her remarks. She 
‘gave some statistics, figures, dates, 
etc., to bear out her argument and 
add emphasis to what she had to say. 
Mrs. George was the one chosen by 
the “antis” to debate with Inez Mil- 
holland of the suffrage party.

triumphs ever presented on any stage. 
The story of the play is an entense 
one and the theme carries the au- 
dience in breathless suspense right to 
the final curtain. Zaza, a wild, reck- 
less and thoughtless woman of the 
vaudeville stage, bestows her heart 
upon a man who is already the hus- 
band of another woman and the fa- 
ther of a little girl of about eight 
years old. From the early love scene 
between Bernard Duffrene and Zaza 
up to the heart-breaking climax, 
where Zaza gives him up, her wo- 
man’s heart bounds and beats with 
joy, or in quivering with pain, from 
the rise of the curtain to the final fall 
on the last act.

loves has a wife, all the wild, un-

controlled passion of her  uncurbed 
nature is aroused. She seeks revenge, 
but when she meets the pretty little 
child of the man whom she loves, and 
learns from its innocent speech that 
he is married, and that he loves his 
wife, she moans from the depths of 
her heart. “It’s all over,” she says, 
“as soon as I saw the little one I 
knew I was done for. ‘They don’t 
know what it is to be creatures of 
chance like we are, who know hunger 
and misery when we are children, 
poverty and rage when we are wo- 
men, and we can only escape them 
through some man, and if we take it 
into our foolish heads to love that 
man in a good honest way, we are 
asked to step aside—such happiness is 
not for us.”
