THE BATTLE THERE.
MRS. SUSAN W. FITZGERALD
'Boston Suffruglst Says Determination
to JTakc-Good A Strong Voice
nnd II Sense of Humor
Make a Suffragist.
By" Associated Press.
WASHINGTON D. ti.. April 15.
Jlary N.'Ohase president of the New
Hampshire Woman Suffrage Associa-
tion presented a report showing; the
chief effort of the year in New Hump
shire in addition to securing names
to the Nationtl petition had been the
practical conversion of the state
grange to Woman Suffrage
A paper or discussion on the sub-
ject was required In every local body
by order of the lecturers and in that
way the movement was brought to the
attention of 30000 .members of thlB
grange. Some lifty or more Qrangors"
competed fof a prize for the best e'ssay
. on woman suffrage.
Governor Quimby apd 31rs. Qulmby
are members of the state association
Mrs ChnBe reported and (heir names
head the state petition.
Susan ) Fitzgerald.
A symposium on open air meetings
was one of the features of the after-
noon session at which some of the
qpen air workers exchanged their ex-
periences and gave their ideas for the
best success of open air gatherings.
Susan W. Fitzgerald of Boston de-
clared three things essential to tho
successful out of door speaker in the
cause of equal franchise. They were
she said a dogged determination to.
make good no matter what occurs;
voices of good carrying power; an un-
derstanding of'the audience a power at
mental adjustment and a sense of hu-
mor. "Some people stop from curiosity
"when they see a" woman speaking"
said Mas .Fitzgerald.
"Many Btop because they think it is
a salvation army meeting or some
one advertising patent medicines. Oth

food ever made with all these lmpor-
ers Btop because It Is warm and they
are lazy and It is easier to stand still
than to niovo on.
"You've got to go where the people
are" counseled the speaker. "It 1b ab-
solutely useless to -expect them to
come to you.' Tho audience not only
will not come off tho thoroUghfnro
to n quiet sppt but wont cross the
street
"This means you have got to fade the
question of noise 'and we. found that
a trolley transfer point or some equal
ly busy place was about the best for
the meeting. It Is hard to have to talk
down the noise of oars hut It is a lot
more encouraging than to talk to no.
body.'
"There's no use having a prearrang-
ed subject.. If you find they do not
rsepond to your points drop them and
take up something that does lilt them.
The pea pf democracy the need of the
working woman and the tax paying argument-tell

WELL GUAflDED CASH
The Millions Piled Up In the Mint
at Philadelphia.
STORED IN ARMORED. VAULTS.
Tho Whola Building la Embedded In
Solid Concrete Foundation nd the
Underground Strong Rooms Are In-
pregnable The Night WMch.
The Philadelphia mint always con-
tains coin and bullion which fluctuates
Id value each day between a luilf and
Ihree-qiinrtcrs of a billion dollars. One'
hundred millions of dollars "Of this
amount Is in silver dollars stored for
several years In a room by Itself 100
by 55 feet in area bout $300000000
Is in gold coin ready to be put In cir-
culation or to be stored In tho national
treasury at( Washington against the 1b-
itie of n coriosnoudlug number of gold
certificates. A million or two Is In
bronze and nickel coins. Finally an
amount of bullion varying front a
small quantity to several hundred mil-
lions of dollars' worth 'Occupies tho
four massive vaults deslgued for tho
uncoined metal. t
Now. how Is this voflt board pro'"
tccted?
First of all tho whole mint is -embedded
tn n solid concrete foundation
nbuut three feet deep. Concrete- as
every one knows. Is one of tho strong-
est of nll'kuowu substances and .the
most Impervious to drilling or wear.'
Then on the Interior where the vaults
are placed within this concrete protec-
tion comes a solid armor of battleship
steel six Inches thick so Btroug that
an expert working ou It a week could
scarcely make an Impression much
less penetrate It by baud tools.
The vaults themselves are sunken
deeply below the ground. Descending-
several illghtH of stairs and passing
by doors guarded by u fearsome ar-
ray of rifles for uso by tho night
guards a long fairly wide corridor
of solid concrete masonry shows the
entrain os to the six vaults one for
the silver already referred to one .for
nit kludjKtif cninage. but mostly for
goldrffrfid the remaining four for the
. sliver and nickel bullion. The
rouze bullliiii llt'.s In another ropm by
Itfeelf hut rf n few dollar worth of
this mibstnuee makes tifi uncomforta-
bly heavy load It Js Hot thought nec-
essary to surround it with the minute
safeguards uiied hi the nm uf the
precious metals
The vaults themselves have'a double
combination. That to tin outer door
is known by the cashier only and that
to the Inner door by the custodian of
the vaults onlyi To enter u vault both
men have to be togethur. and It Is n
rule of the department that both shalf
stay together till the inspection or
other object for whkh the huge safe
Is opened Is accomplished.
" Entering one of (bene great cages
after five minutes' working at the
combination one finds himself In a
huge room partitioned off In fifteen
compartments by steel gratings of tho
strongest kind. A straight passage
six feet wide and the height of the
chamber goe down the length of the
room from the door. At tho entrance
are stoied the bronze coins tho cents
about $Xrt.on) worth of them but the
amount varies from day to day. Next
come the more precious nickel coins
of uhl'.li the value usually totals
about $:;umh:o.
Beyond ihew storage places a steel
grate! dour In the passage itself has
to "in- opened aud then still another
to git coiupli'ivly to the end of the
foam Alt along the length of this
Iihswki'Whv from the entrance to the
vault tin end. are the compart-
ments for the coins separated from
the passageway by exactly tho same
kind of gratings as those which divide
tho way Itself Into sections.
The bottom the sides and the top of
this vault nre lined with steel plates
and about the entire vault Is the three
foot protection of concrete. Within the
vault ltselfare" the separate compart-
ments each Ipcked. These compart-
ments are examined shortly after the
end of the fiscal year nnd arc then
sealed by the oxamlners so that any
entranco to them would bo impossible
without the breakage of the seals. In
each comparttneut devoted to the stor-
age of gold the coin Is stored first In
hags which contnln $5000 each In half
eagles eagles "or double eagles and
then theso bags are arranged twenty
ou a Bbclf. Each shelf has thus $100.-
000 on it. The shelves are arranged In
raws dowuward. ten from top to bot-
tom of the cqmpartmcnt each row
having thus $1000.(100 in gold In It.
Electricity lights the entire section
of eueu vanity nnd the electric eurretit
la so arranged that If it were possible
for the vaults to be tampered with the
electricity would Immediately nil e no-

A CITY OF DANGERS. .
Going Out at Night In Mosul Mean
imperiling One's Life.
Mosul ou the western bank of the
Tigris Is described lu "The Short Cut
to India" by David Kraser. as a' place
of sotno dltllcuty for the residents.
Prices of every mortal thing are dear-
er than iiuyWhore 'else In Turkuy.
Water is procured only from the Tl
grls utid every drop required must a
can led therefrom lu skins upon don
keys. Two pounds a month is u very
oidiaary expenditure on this essential
aud provides but a scanty bath.
To go out at night Is to place one's
life lu Jeopaidy To walk across the
bridge in broad daylight Ik a danger
owing to tlie frailty of the structure.
The bridge Is a wonderful affair and
yields an Income of some thousands
of pounds ii nuii ally to the contractor
who farms It from the government
Three hundred yards of It is solid ma-
sonry and the remaining 100 yards a
wooden platform laid upon a low of
crazy boats.
Where the bridge of boats abuts tlie
shore at one end and tho stone bridge
at tho other are the points of danger
for owing to the height of the river
when 1 was there tlie joinings were nt
a slope of forty-five degrees and con-
sisted of narrow gangways up -which
people sheep cattle donkeys mules
horses and camels hud to scramble.
No wonder there were many fallings
Into the water dangerous wutcr too
for It coursed llko a cataract between
tho boats nnd swirled and boiled In
fierce eddies and whirlpools below the
bridge.
One poor Zabttc with rifle slung nnd
bandoliers strapped across bis chest
was wnlKlng across when his horse
slipped at the ascent to the boat part
of tho bridge nnd both fell Into the
water. The horse was rescued but
the man wns drowned. Life has small
radio lu Mosul however and nobody
bothered to mend the huge holes In
the bridge or td make Its passage less
procnroiis.
A Hard Lot.
Nicaragua has been distinguished
even among Central American repub-
lics by the number of Its revolutions.
Discovered by Columbus It takes Its
name from t'he chief who ruled It nt
the time of Its exploration by Dolrla.
In 1522. Of Its earliest rulers it has
been said that "the first had been a
murderer the second a murderer nnd
rebel the third murdered tho second
tho fourth was n forger and the fifth
a murderer and rebel." Nicaragua
abounds n prehistoric remains ami In
some parts. It Is said the Inhabitants
still supply themselves with potter;
from the vast quantities preserved lie-
low the surface.
