Mrs Belmont Finds American Suffra gists Are Being Distanced. New York , Sept. 21. "Kngllsh women nro far ahead of Ainorlcan wo men In polities. They have a bettor understanding of polities than the wo men here. In England they are much butter organized I" the cause of wo man's suffrage than wo aro. " This was thu compliment that Mrs. O. II. P. llulmont paid the English M onion today. Mrs. Belmont , accom panied by Miss I noMllholland , re turned yesterday ou the Mauretanla from a trip abroad , where she made un Investigation of economic condi tions and the methods of the English women In their campaign to obtain the right to vote. Adverse to missing any opportunity to help the cause of suffrage , Mrs. Holmont and Miss Milholland organ- l/od a sui < Hrago meeting on the Mnurc- tania and believe they gained several converts to the cause. At any rate , they raised $50 which the ' 100 or more 'auditors contributed when the collec tion was taken. "Wo Intend to give the suffrage movement 'greater impetus in this country. " said Mrs. Holmont. "Every day I expect to come hero to my of fice from my homo out of town and attend to the details of the work. There are now Innumerable letters liere for mo to answer. I will bo very busy for a week answering them. " Mrs. Belmont said that she believes In another year the American women will he as well organized as the Eng lish women. She said she did not hold n hopeful outlook for the cause In France. HUSBANDS ARE ONLY HUMAN. Some Advice to Wives by a Woman Divorce Lawyer. New York. Sept. 1 ! ! . "To assure T\ domestic felicity , hnsbund and wlfo should be so harmoniously adjusted that differences will never arise , " said Hnrrictto Johnston Wood , a lawyer who has made a good many trips to Heno and back in the service of di vorce clients. "Of course , " she said , "marriages based on perfect harmonious adjust ment , common interests and mutual respect are ideal , and they are rare. Jt Is ridiculous to assert that all one has to do to lead a life of married bliss is to keep one's eyes open In the courting period and make sure that one is making a good bargain before closing the life-long contract. "Most people , " she continued , "tem porarily assume certain charncterls- tics , views , inclinations and principles while courting merely to please the chosen object of affection. Few show their inner nature and true solve ? be fore the knot is tied. "As a result , only too often the Idol falls from its pedestal , smashed into n thousand pieces , and thu newly wed is confronted with the problem how to avoid domestic complications de spite shattered dreams. "Lord pity the young married W - man who gives her husband cream with his coffee and sips hers with , milk. Sooner or later ho'H get ac customed to this treatment , and will actually think he's entitled to it , and she'll have to play second fiddle the rest of her life. "Then , again , disloyalty Is often the cause of friction. In this case a win ning smile , a becoming gown , an atti tude of Indifference will go farther than all the displays of jealousy , all the fretting and nagging. "Nagging , " she added , "Is like an overdose of medicine ; It never has a good effect , for It la an Irritant. .Teal , ousy is often duo to nothing but lack of conlldence. "Married people should trust each other , give each other a certain amount of freedom and not put down a set of regulations'and expect a iintnuto account of each word and ac tion. Each Individual should bo per mltted to do as he pleases , so long as ho doesn't encroach upon the oth or's rights. "There Is another thing , " she ob served , "that is good for both mar and wife to remember , namely , thai marriage Is not like unto a battU won , that they are never fully vie torlous , that the fight for possossloi Is really never at an end. " Her Death is Sudden. Mrs. II. A.

CAVALIERI IS THE LOSER. BUT NO HOBBLt SKIRT. The Property Chanter Assigned the Diva is Encumbered. New York. Sept. 24. The develop- C. Poynter Redfern , Arbiter of Fash ions , Gives His Ultimatum , ment's locally in the Chanlor-Cavallorl 1' embroglio today showed that Cava- Horl , Instead of being rlched by $30- ouo a year as she thought she was , Is out just $ GO and the board and lodg ing of "Sheriff Hob" since Juno IS , when they were married. The provisions of the ante-nuptial agreement were given by Creste Cav- alieri. The brother of the prlma don- | na says that , strlpp'ed of legal vorbl- age , these provisions are : " 1. That , In consideration of the ful fillment of the marriage contract , Rob ert Wlnthrop Chanler transfers to Llna Cavalier ! anl income from vari ous sources roughly estimated at $20- 000 a year. " 2. That for the same consideration Chanler transfers to her , in fee simple , the Red Hook farm In Dutchess coun ty , consisting of MO acres on which are two dwelling houses. The esti mated value of this farm is $0,500 , and on It is said to ho a mortgage of $6,000. " 3. Property In what Is known as the Couslno farm , in the neighbor hood of Fifty-seventh street and Ninth avenue , consisting of dwelling houses - I and estimated to bo valued at $325.000 , Is transferred to the wlfo. On this property there Is known by the Cav- allerlB to be a mortgage of $ in,000. "I. That In the event of the death of Robert Wlnthrop Chanlor , Cava- llerl gets the Red Hook farm and the Couslno property In Now York out right. " 5. In the event of Chanler'H death thu property which Is tied up In n trust fund for the first Mrs. Chanler i and her two children shall go to them. " A man , who IH not willing to have his name made public , but who has been consulted since the affair be came public , announced that the ante nuptial agreement provides for the transfer of all the property of which Robert Wlnthrop Chanler was pos sessed at the time of the execution of the document , Including that not tied up In trust funds or entailed to his 1-elrs. - The latter amounts to about $ tfiO,000. Hut before Llna can get this amount she must satisfy claims against It amounting to $200,000 , being $50,000 more than was transferred to her. When Chanler signed the marriage contract ho knew ho was signing away his right to the only property he had on which ho could realize quickly. It became necessary for him to have money quickly. When he went to CaV.ilierl for the llrst tlmo for casn she outraged his feelings by telling him his allowance would ho $20 a month. Three times was his monthly allowance paid. Then Cavallerl decided it was about tlmo she was getting some of the In come from thu property transferred to her. She had her attorneys make Inquiry on this side of the Atlantic. Then It was she realized that Instead of having been put In possession of $30,000 a year she had only possible claim to property valued at $150,000 , and that this was encumbered with mortgages and other liens amounting to $50,000 more than It was worth. Then the Chanlers chuckled. A full Investigation showed that that trans fer was not worth the paper on which It was written. It is not expected there will be any litigation. It developed this afternoon that Mine. Cavalleyl has made a tentative ' offer to settle with "Hob" Chanler for a trille of one-half million dollars , which her French lawyers have told her could be Invested In France to earn about ! percent. This would give her an annual Income of $20,000 in stead of the $30,000 called for In the marriage contract. Thus Chanler would gain $10,000 a year by the trans action. I Cavalleri , when she was married to Chanlor , believed him to ho worth two million dollars. Her friends think a settlement of one quarter of this sum \\ould be reasonable. The famous ante-nuptial agreement was attacked today in the courts of i Now York City by the tailor who out fitted Mr. Chanler with his wedding clothes , his last evening suit and twelve white waistcoats being among I the goods said to be unpaid for. Mat thias Hadln , lawyer , of 309 Broadway , represented the claim of $087 with In terest , which was assigned by Wil liam Barnes , the Fifth avenue tailor in Question , for collection to George II. Fulleneamp. As was forecasted , the attack on the ante-nuptial agreement comes from a creditor. Irving Minsky , who is asso ciated with Mr. Radln , says that Sid ney Harris , Mr. Chanlor's personal counsel , told him that Edward E. Per kins of Poughkeepsle holds $3. > ,000 worth of claims against the former sheriff of Dutchess county. | The Bookmaker Had Fled. I Deadwood , S. D. , Sept. 24.

" The Dramatization Is Being Done by Dr. Sheldon. Toppka. Kan. . Sept. 24. The Rev Charles M. Sheldon , pastor of the Cen tral Congregational church hero , la at work on a dramatic version of bin most famous book , "In II i * Stops. ' Prof. F. II. La-.c of Washluirn college is assisting In thn work. Last winter a .new 'iork rompnn\ for tin * dramatic right for the book , offering to ( nrnlsh a dnunatlnt to wrlto the I'lay or have Dr. Sheldon to do the work under the dliecthm of a dramatist. . Dr. Sheldon refused to allow the book to he dramatized ex cept on the express condition 'that the play should ho presented entirely by Christian people , and this guarantee uas not forthcoming. The play will be presented by members of the Chris tian Endeavor society of the church In the Christmas holidays. While the details lor tin1 presenta tion of "In Ills Steps" In drama form have not all been worked nut as yet. the general plan will bo to present a n-ene from each of the twelve chap ters of the hook that will carry the action of the story.

Dr. Sheldon wishes the play used for religious pur poses only and after Its rendition , should the dramatization be In such shape as to admit of it , lie Is willing that other societies use It. A THIRD MAJOR 'LEAGUE ? Tcbcau Will Ask National Commission to Favor His Plan. Cincinnati. Sept. 21. President George Tebeau of the Kansas City club will make the effort to secure a peaceable readjustment of the base ball ma ) ) to allow three major leagues. He says that the tlmo of basohall wars has passed and that financial suc cess can only come from the peace able adjustment of the troubles of the American association. Futhermore , he says that the national commission can ho broughtt o see the justice In his claims and that those win DO pre sented to the commission at an early date by him. Tebeau says that the Kansas City management will build a larger grand stand for the crowds which will come when that club belongs to a major ( league. He has figured out that Chicago cage will stand another major league team and that It can be placed on the north side of Chicago , whore there's easily one-half million people who are from five to fifteen miles from a ma jor league park. Another team can be placed in Cleveland to play there when the "Naps" are awny from home. Pittsburgh also is considered by him to be largo enough for two major league clubs , as well as Cincinnati. These four major league cities will ho the only ones entered by this league if his plwns are carried out. Four American association cities irm go into this league , namely , Indianapolis , Kansas City , Milwaukee and Coluiri- hus. These four places have long neon known as the best of the A. A. cities. "However , I would not declare war on organise * } baseball , " President Tc- beau said. "Such a thing as war can bring nothing but financial loss to the cities engaging in it. "I would much prefer the good old fashioned way of presenting to t ie na- ional commission our plans and to co jporate with them in the peaceable nethods of organizing these clubs. Within a very short time I shall np- > roach them with my plans and will lave sufllclent capital to make these ilans come through.

In think the now league could go along without any hindrance o the other two major organizations. " STREET AND COLLEGE BOYS. New York , Sept. 24.
