As Signers of Suffrage Petition They Make Glad the Heart of the Enemy. It was 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 satisfaction from 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 fulmlnations for those who sei sex against sex. But it wasn't this kind of sex antagonism that he had in mind. I presume 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 thankful that that early paper was never published. "But ell husbands of 'anti' wives do not prove so amenable to good Influences. It is well known that the late Bishop Potter had suffrage inclinations, while Mrs. Potter id pronouncedly 'anti.' In one of 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 of Women, and others axe under susp! HUSBANDS Or "ANTIS." 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—l nil 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, I won'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. / 1 AINSBOROUGH STT'KIOa— OVERU >< »XIN'> ''3X- \X tral I'arlc; owned and occupied by artists and lit- erary people.

But 1 discov- ered that the basic principle of education, right BOtrStidn. «» being neglected. At the same time I ifoived for myself the problem of health and en- trgy. I found thxt the^e things were matters of control and not the subject cf chance, so I Ifiropped iar sociological wt-rk and studies, with the ldca cf fievoting a year, or two if necessary, to kkhrasL:r.s: out the problem of nutrition. Instead of rme year. It took ten. But the diSculty of secur- ing en agreement among scientific men was really En advantage, for it made their- final adhesion to , the principles of Fletcheri*ro— l am not responsible ; for the word—more Jinpiessive. Now, having ar- xivc-il et that poiut cf arreemect, the next point is to epi-lr our knowledge in the most elective man- bcr. That means to me the teaching cf dietetic righteousness to children as early es possible. I tave learned some things tlmi are conceded to be cf value, tnd I want to make ihis information e.vai!abie for all children, ty whicii I mean not merely putting it where they can get It if they •want it. but pushing it toward thtm. to none can escape. Children tre natural Fletcherizers, and only need to be protected from artificial influence? *nd suggestions. I haven't any definite plans of \u25a0work yet. I am only rnovinjr round and giving ' tilings a. chance to happen, but 1 find that kinder- Ssrtcn teachers and aiiy one imbued with the iYoebeliaa idea take xi^a keenest interest in the r jscieace cf nutrition.

Thousands of belated shoppers were delayed stili further yesterday morning on their way down to the stores In the subway when the express ser- vice got out of kilter for three-quarters' of an hour between 10 o'clock and 10:45. A shoe came off an express train as it was swinging around the Times Square curve, south bound, and before the fireworks and the attendant trouble had been disposed of the whole line was in trouble. The worst congestion was at tho Brooklyn Bridge station, where hundreds waited for tra-ns to Brooklyn or South Ferry. Finally, after the plat- form was In a dangerous condition, a few local trains were switched to the express tracks and the overflow was looked after to a certain extent "You have tn bo awfully careful. Ifyou rub the pomade in frtely it Will get in the eyes and hurt you. If you Just dab it on delicately it will do no You have to attain the happy medium by practice." "It's all very well to say it." grumbled the girl who hadn't any to speak of. "We all know the truism that a face without eyelashes is like a house without window blinds. And you can't have dis- tractingly pretty eyelashes by Just wanting them. Look at mine. Don't you suppose I'd like to im- prove tils scraggly growth on my eyelids?" "Improve it," said the other girl promptly. "You can't have good eyelashes by wishing for them, but you can have them by working for them. In the first place, you must feed them every night some good nutrient into the edge of the lids. Be very careful about the kind of pomade you use. It's belter to have a cream made up of lanolin; glycerine, gelatine or anything you know to be nourishing and harmless. I never use any prepa- ration that contains capsicums, cantharides or am- monia or spirits. Before I touched the pomade I use to my eyelids I rubbed it vigorously around my nostrils—a tender place, you know—and it didn't smart tha least bit, so I knew it was safe for the eyelids. CARE OF EYELASHES. "Eyelashes are such an important item in the human frice that I wonder worn 3a con't pay raor* attention to their cultivation." 6aid the girl who had just been complimented or. the beautiful, lorm. curling, dusky set which ehe poss<_s«ed.

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 Rutland and most of the other roads of the New York Cen- tral system. Wabash Withdraws from Agreement xcith 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. it has built up its business from nothing to two hundred and fifty tons of New York business a day on westbound freight clone. This raised a howl from other roads in the trunk line territory and a sub-committee was 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 railroad circles 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 serious rate war wc:!d be almost certain to follow.

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!

HUSBANDS Or "ANTIS."

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.

[p. new idea with him.'I**3iy Interests an primarily sociological/ he said.i f*About ten yeaxs ago Iwas considering a plan fcr;lie extension of education that would Include all

:i-hildrcn. co that none could escape. But 1discov-ered that the basic principle of education, right

BOtrStidn. «» being neglected. At the same time I

ifoived for myself the problem of health and en-trgy. Ifound thxt the^e things were matters of

control and not the subject cf chance, so IIfiropped iar sociological wt-rk and studies, with theldca cf fievoting a year, or two ifnecessary, to

kkhrasL:r.s: out the problem of nutrition. Instead ofrme year. It took ten. But the diSculty of secur-ingen agreement among scientific men was really

En advantage, for it made their- final adhesion to,the principles of Fletcheri*ro—lam not responsible;for the word—more Jinpiessive. Now, having ar-xivc-il et that poiut cf arreemect, the next point isto epi-lr our knowledge in the most elective man-

• bcr. That means to me the teaching cf dieteticrighteousness to children as early es possible. I

tave learned some things tlmi are conceded to becf value, tnd Iwant to make ihis informatione.vai!abie for all children, ty whicii Imean not

merely putting it where they can get It if they

Ihaven't any definite plans of\u25a0work yet. Iam only rnovinjr round and giving' tilingsa. chance to happen, but 1find that kinder-Ssrtcn teachers and aiiy one imbued with theiYoebeliaa idea take xi^a keenest interest in the

The worst congestion was at tho BrooklynBridgestation, where hundreds waited for tra-ns toBrooklyn or South Ferry. Finally, after the plat-form was In a dangerous condition, a few localtrains were switched to the express tracks and theoverflow was looked after to a certain extent

You have to attain the happy medium bypractice."

"It's all very well to say it." grumbled the girlwho hadn't any to speak of. "We all know thetruism that a face without eyelashes is like a housewithout window blinds. And you can't have dis-tractingly pretty eyelashes by Just wanting them.Look at mine. Don't you suppose I'd like to im-prove tils scraggly growth on my eyelids?"

"Improve it," said the other girl promptly. "Youcan't have good eyelashes by wishing for them, butyou can have them by working for them. In thefirst place, you must feed them every night

Bevery careful about the kind of pomade you use.It's belter to have a cream made up of lanolin;glycerine, gelatine or anything you know to benourishing and harmless.

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.
