long train , and as thu Htroola arc
unusually wet , thin train 'IH general

carrying this train there is not
much modesty observed 'in the

foot and limbs arc a striking foa.
tare to a now arrival in Guam
Neither American nor native
women wear hats hero. All go
bear headed , czoopt on Sabbaths ,
when the Ohatnorro women put a
towel or hankcrohiof on their heads
and pin it on thn top of the head.
Iho waist garment is a thin \\hiu
tuuf > lin jacket , with low neolc and
short wide sleeves. This is slipped
over the head , and so linn no fastenings
onings in front or behind. Tobao-
oo is used by women and mon alike ,
and women go around spitting just
like the men. The women also
ohowa green nut whiuh grows hero.
They mix it with quick lime , and it
turns their tooth black and their
brotvtb sour. A native's yard iH
kept uleun of all grans , and onoo a
mouth he gees over it with his boo ,
and the women follow and pick out
all the grass for tie pigs. When n
heavy rain falls , the streets are of
ten all a ulattor with naked boyt
and girls from six to twelve yean
of ago , taking a shower bull and
it in an opportunity well improved.
Their sleeping outlit OOIHHH , ; | of n
mat on the lloor , and often vermin
goti "good and plenty. " It is a
very common thing to HOO a family
on a "round up" among the wilder
ness of loiig blaok hair. However ,
let it be said in favor of Guam , that
there art ) no fleas or bod-Inn ? " hero ,
and 1 might also HI ) , no frogs or

This city has beim nnstrably in-
ffiitod by cur ( logo , and aa wo sleep
with doois and windows open , we
luvii had many raids on our larder.
The Governor , very wisely , doolar-
a dog tax and ordered a marine to
kill nil dogs without collars. The
natives took their dogs to the
country by thu cart loads , and wo
have had more poaou and more
money. The women take much
pride in their hair , and the oldest
and youngest , besmear their long
blaolc hair with ooooanut oil till the
smell is almost unendurable ? . For
a while it was nearly chocking in
the school room ; however , like
many other things , we get used to
it , When wo first began teaching ,
the dilution would await us at the
school house dojr in innuendo

they would greet us with an un

WOMAN SUFFRAGE COLUMN.
HDIir.l ) I1V Mill. ALI.IK It I'KI.Kf.r
A series of Suffrage Confnrenco
have just been held in twelve
county scats , those being sductod
being Iho unorganiznd and hardi
pointu in thn tftato. These Confer
ence worn all well attended , and
where organizations were not per
fected , names wore obtained for
future work. Mrs. Young , the
State prpHsdont ; presided ; Mrn.
Catt , the National president , gave
thu principal address ; and Minn
Gregg took collections , organised ,
and responded to a Question Box
every afternoon.
Tho'HorioH closed with the State
Convention at Lincoln. Two yearn
ago the State Convention was bold
there , and all bough the attendance
from outhide. the city were oed ,
thoaudionoo were paltry handfiils.
Moanwhilu IJixby , tlio "liitiny man"
on the State Journal , has held up
Mill'rago and sullragints IP merciless
ridicule , : n prose and poetry , anil
the suffragists have come back itt
him with argumentH and facts , and
he haH published them all. Then
Mies Gregg chulongcd him to dr-
balo. lie accepted , and then ad
vertised it as nothing in our line
was over advertised liofore. Ho
appealed to all his friends to , come
and support him in his effort to
Jofond truth and justice , etc. For
months there was scarofly a day
when some mention of it was not
made in his paper. Of course ,
other papers found much that was
good to quote , so the whole State
was talking over tbo debate. Dom
ourati hate IJixby but all the Ho
publican ? ricom to love him.
The debate took place the iirst
evening and there was an audience
of at least 1,400 persons. Stand
ing room was all taken , and poopla
were turned away. Bixby kept the
audience roaring with yory inno
cent humor , and played into Miss
Grogn's hands delightfully , as of
course any "Anti" would do. Miss
Gregg was all that any one could
desire. Hhc was calm , collected ,
dignified , logical , and so completely
won the victory that there was no
question about it in any mind.
Even Bixby's own paper announced
his defeat in glaring headlines. It
has advertised the question in Neb
raska as nothing else could have
done .
The second evening , Mrn. Catt
bpoko to a very largo audience. Mr.
liixby intorducod her , and at the
close the ladies presented him with
a line boquot of roses. His speech
was side-splitting. Ho assured the
audience that ho had found the
suffragists far kinder than ho had
supposed , aid that ho thought more
of us than he did but that ho was
not converted.
All this , however , while , pleasant ,
AMS not the most gratifying feature
of the convention. Fifty-six dele
gates , fine , onorgotii' , devoted men
ind women , \veie present. The
onvonti' n elected an excellent
State board. Mrs. Young's presi-
lont's address was line , and she
piortideil with a dignity , composure
and Knowledge of parluniuntary
usage that challenged general ad
miration. Wo r.UMjd a tl ousnnd
dollars in pledges We a > o deter
mined to r-fuid true to .ho head
quarters. The loyiliy of the board
to Mies Giogg and to i . .oh other is
beautiful.
Mrs. Catt wan itivitod by the
Chancellor to ( Uldn-M the students
of the Nchi.isha University , and
did HO. O.tr Uu'Vt r-ry holds very
high rai k , ai d ba-i 'J.UOO students.
Mm. Catt was entertained by the
Governor , who is a suffragist. She
met many prominent men , and says
she found only one in the State
who waa opposed. She has cow
none to the South to hold confer
ences there.
