travelling suit, both beautifully made by her own dressmaker, with
bonnets to match.

this contained a conspicuous advertisement of a large liquor

opposition were located in a Denver brewery.

1894.

The year 1894 is distinguished in the annals of woman suffrage for two
great campaigns: one in New York to secure from the Constitutional

organize this society in the house of Mrs. Hall, who lived there at that
time. She was here, as always when in this city, the guest of her
friend, Anna C. Mott, whose father and uncle, Richard and James Mott,
were her staunch supporters from the early da
