As Signers of Suffrage Petition They MakeGlad the Heart of the Enemy.

Itwas admitted at suffrage headquarters, in the

Martha Washington, yesterday, that a number of

-anti- husbands are signing the woman suffrage

petition, and. as might be expected, the suffragists

are deriving a large amount of malign satisfactionfrom the fact.

"They accuse us of stirring up sex antagonism,

saM one. -At the meeting held at the Berkeley

Lyceum three weeks ago by the National League

for the Civic Education of Women, the Rev. Dr.

Lym&a Abbott reserved his choicest fulmlnationsfor those who sei sex against sex. But it wasn't

this kind of sex antagonism that he had in mind. Ipresume Dr. Abbott himself is a case in point.

Everybody knows that he used to believe in woman

suffrage. At the Berkleley Lyceum meeting he

said that he once wrote a paper la favor of it.

But he married an 'anti.' and turned from the

error of his ways. Now. he says, he is thankfulthat that early paper was never published.

"But ell husbands of 'anti' wives do not prove soamenable to good Influences. It is well known that

the late Bishop Potter had suffrage inclinations,

while Mrs. Potter id pronouncedly 'anti.' In oneof the very last speeches the Bishop made at the

Valentine breakfast of the Woman's Press Club,

he virtually declared himself on this subject."

Another prominent anti who has a suffragist hus-

band is Mrs. Emil Kujchiing, who is on the ex-ecutive of the League for the Civic Education ofWomen, and others axe under susp!

to some other charity fair, this being the Reason

of fairs. But will you believe It, every one of

those little laundry bags and embroidered foot-

stools and satin-lined work boxes was gobbled up

by the \u25a0 I—lnil who were managing that bazaar.

Those wealthy women, who could have bought

those things a hundred times over, simply appro-

priated them, bundled them into their carriages

and whisked them off, pleased as PunTh at ret-tins something for nothing. It was something they

didn't need, but that made no difference."•Us funny." said the intimate friend musingly.

"I've wen some things happen at bazaars, too.

Lest year in thc-well, Iwon't tell you what ba-

zaar—i was on one of the committees, and $100 of

the receipts just disappeared. We knew that one

of the women managing the tall

—\u25a0«\u25a0\u25a0 all ricn

women-must have appropriated it;but. of course,

the mystery was allowed to remain a mystery-

What else could be done? It was at that same

bazaar, too. that a beautiful muff disappeared from

the chair on which its owner had laid It. and she

had Just turned her back for an Instant.""The women who took the money and th» muff

probably needed funds to pay gambling debts."

.said the first talker, "which is sinful, but com-

prehensible. But why a rich woman should be

tickled to death at getting a Billylittle pincushion

she doesn't need, for nothing, puzzles me."•Its our nature— the Fame nature that makes us

endure agonies at a bargain sale to get a $1 ar-

ticle for ninety-nine cents." said (he intimate

friend.

RUTLAND PASSES DIVIDEND.

The dividend on the preferred stock of the Rut-

land Railroad Company was parsed yesterday^ All

except about $200.<K>0 of the common stork has been

converted into preferred, the total amount out-standing of which is IMS7.CM. The, preferred is a

cumulative issue entitled to 7 r*r cent yearly,

and the accumulated dividends amount to about

177 per cent. In January of this year a dividend

of 1M per cent was declared, and a similar dis-

bursement was made in each of the two preceding

yeai-s. In 1904 and 1905 no dividend was paid, and

in the period from 1592 to 1903, inclusive, the. high-

est dividend was 4 rer cent.

It had been expected that the Rutland's board

would organize yesterday by the election of offi-cers, but action was postponed owing to the fact

that the directors of the New York Central have

not yet chosen a president to succeed W. H. New-man, who has been Rlso president of the Rutlandand most of the other roads of the New York Cen-tral system.

Wabash Withdraws from Agreementxcith the Company.

Notwithstanding the statements by --epreKenta-

tives of the Trunk Line Asociatlon that the dispute

over the entrance of the Canadian Pacific Dispatch

Line into the trunk roads' territory would be

amicably settled, it was learned yesterday that tne

Wabaeh had given notice to the Trunk IJno Asso-

ciation that on January 1 it would withdraw from

the arrangement under which the Canadian com-

pany enjoys a rate 13 per cent below that of the

standard all-rail lines.Since the Canadian Line gained nn entrance to

this city over the New York. N>w Haven & Hart-

ford tracks about two months a*to. ithas built up

its business from nothing to two hundred and fifty

tons of New York business a day on westboundfreight clone. This raised a howl from other roads

in the trunk line territory and a sub-committeewas appointed by the Trunk Line Association to

consider the charges of rate, cutting against the

New Haven road for permitting the Canadian com-pany to operate here.

This committee submitted its report on the sit-

uation to the executive committe of the associa-tion last Tuesday, which now has the matter un-der advisement. It was hoped, representatives of

the association said, by the use of "moral suasion

to get the New Haven road to modify Its attitude.

At present, however, the attitude of that company

is still unconcillatory. and it was paid in railroadcircles yesterday that unless there was a speedy

readjustment of the rates of the Canadian Pacific

Dispatch Line, other roads in the trunk line terri-

tory would follow the Wabash in withdrawing

from the present tariff arrangement and a seriousrate war wc:!d be almost certain to follow.
