who was found in an uncqnaefOus con

Olnes on December 11, committed su
: icide has been set aside by a letter
now in the hands of the commissioner.
• The letter follows:
“I have-run a long, long: race, and
i; lost. Life is po longer worth the
struggle. Only disappointment, hard
, ships and sickness.
"I was born in Marshal, Michigan.
37 years ago, ‘an American.’ What
money I have is- in Mr. Dorfner’s safe.
Bury me nice—not expensive, and
send bill to my son. Wire to my
son, Clinton Phillips, Ennis, Mont.,
that I died today and that a suitcase
rjwill be expressed to him. And ex
press my suitcase of personal effects.
Mail from Cordova forward to my son.
All other burn. Return the Victrola

“Make tests and be sure I am dead."
Interviewed regarding the contents
of the letter when he \yas in Fair
banks, Judge Weiss said that the
“charge” referred to in the letter was
but a matter of common gossip at 01
nes and Chatanika. He also asserted
that the “money in Mr. Dorfner’s
safe” consisted of $60, which the \vo
man, had evidently saved- from her
earnings.

OF THE HOME
•
The message of his eminence, Car
dinal Gibbins, to the National Associa
tipn opposed to Woman Suffrage, in
convention at Washington recently,
has attracted considerable attention
throughout the national capital. The
message was read to the convention
by Monsignor Wm. T. Russell, pastor
of St. Patrick’s church, Washington,
and recently appointed bishop of
Charleston.
The cardinal said: “The paramount
influence which woman exerts as
queen of the domestic kingdom, where
she reigns not by force but by persua
sion, not by statute law but by the
law of love engraven in her heart,
forces me to believe that her condition
would not be improved if she entered
into the qrena of politics.
“Equal rights do not imply that both
sexes should engage promiscously in
the same pursuits, but that each
should discharge those duties which
are adapted to its physical constitu
tion. The insistence on a right of par
ticipation in active political life is un
doubtedly calculated to rob women of
ail that, is amiable and gentle, tender
and attractive; to rob her of her
grace and character and give her no
thing in return but mascline boldness
and effrontery, tits advocates are ha
bitually. preaching ' about woman’s
rights and prerogatives, and have not
a word to say about her duties and re
sponsibilities. They withdraw her
from those obligations which properly
belong to her sex and fill her with
ambition to usurp positions for which
neither God nor nature ever intended
her.
i “When 1 deprecate female suffrage
I am pleading for the dignity of wo
man, I am contending for her honor, I
am striving to perpetuate those peer
less prerogatives inherent in her sex;
: those charms and graces which exalt
'■ womankind and make her the oma
menfcand coveted companion of man.
Woman is queen indeed, but her em
pire is the1 domestic kingdom. The
greatest political triumphs she would
achieve in public life fade into insig
nificance compared with the serene
glory which radiates from the domes
tic shrine and which she illumines
and warms by her conjugal and moth
erly virtues. If she is ambitious of
the dual empire of public and private
life, then like the fabled dog behold
ing his image in the water, she will
lose both; she will fall from the lofty
pedestal where nature and Christiani
ty have placed her and will fail to
grasp the sceptre of political authority
from the strong hand of her male
competitor.
I still hold the same views on wo
man suffrage, already so often ex
pressed; that the ballot would drag
woman from her domestic duties into
the arena of politics and rob her of
much of her charm, goodness and true
influence.
“I regai-d ‘woman’s rights’ women
and the leaders of the new school of
female progress as the worst enemies
of the female sex. I wish'I could im
press on American women the dan
gers that would attach to, such inno-.
vations. I wish I could show them
the ultimate result of participating in
public life. It has but one end—the
abandonment, or at least the neglect
of the home.
“The most precious undeveloped As
set of any nation is its children. An
all-wise God, through the law of na
ture has committed this precious trea
sure in a special manner to the mqttlv
er. Any ocupation, however allur
ing. in its specious pretence, which
draws woman's attention from her
mast exalted duties of motherhood
.will result in detriment to the nation
and the race. Women cannot vot«i in
telligently unless they give time to an
intelligent study of political questions,
and all such time taken from the
household will be injurious to the fu
ture generation, by robbing it of its
natural right, a mother’s care, without
giving to the present generation any
appreciable benefit in the purifying of

the ballot. As far as I have observed,
| it appears that woman suffrage to the
! extent that it has been gr&lited in this
j country, has not changed the result of
the election. There has been a larger
vote hut the results have been the
same as they would have been if wo
man'; hd<J not voted. Thus it seems

DRIVEN FROM CONVENT BY
'Shells after eo years
DUBLIN, Ireland.— (By mail)—The
J death1 lyhich occurred recently at Ihe
; convent of Edermine, county Wexford,
of Abbess Perge, a member of the
community of Irish nuns of Ypres, re
called an interesting story of her
I flight from Belgium during the Ger
j man invasion. The abbess, who was
! a Belgian and 80 years old, took ref
i uge in the Irish convent after a long
\ and tedious journey from her strick
en country. In this she was accom
i panied by other nuns from Ypres.
Before the German bombardment
! drove the abbess and the other nuns
into the world she had never been out
i side the walls of her convent since she
entered as a novice some 60 years be
fore. She had never before seen a
: railway train, and it is said there was
the greatest difficulty in persuading
her to enter the train that carried her
to safety.
The nuns were unable to bring any
j thing away with them and were des
! titute when they reached England. A
; place was bought for the community
i at Edermine. One of the members is
a niece of John Redmond, who has al
ways taken a keen interest in the com
■ munity, and who helped them to se
) cure their present home.
Before leaving Ypres the nuns
! managed to bury in a safe place their
! .precious historical possession—the
flag captured from the British at Fon
tenby by the Irish brigade, then in the
service of France. The “Dames Ire
{landdises,” as they were known, fled
from Ireland to Belgium in the reign
William III. The connection with Ire
land'' \Viis always maintained, novices
going over from Ireland regularly, al
though a few Belgians have been ad
mitted from time to time. Their con
vent, which is close to the Ypres town
i hall, was wrecked by German shells.

> BOB PETERSON. 320 K Street
The wrestling match between Mar
tin and Jenson billed for yesterday af
ternoon at Robai-ts’ hall failed to ma
terialize. Martin failed to show but
had previously notified Jepson, earlier
in the day that he had decided not to
wrestle. Jepson was there with bells
on and has issued a sweeping chal
lenge to wrestle and throw Martin,
Peterson and Young Viking in the
same evening. Jepson further agrees
to put up $100 in hard cash with the
Daily Times in good faith.
A large number of fans were dis
appointed that the Martin-Jepson
match did not come off for there was
bad blood between the two and the
match would have been a good one
from the tap of the gong.
Martin has prepared a statement ;
i
over his own signature for the Times
which follows:
“ In regard to yesterday’s wrestling
match which did not come off, I have
this to say, that the sporting public i
had fully made up their minds that if \
I did not win from Jepson it surely i
must be a fake, and knowing him to be |
a big, strong man and liable to win !
from any man, and that most people’s |
minds were already set on it being a !
frame up so I thought it the wisest j
thing to do to cancel the match entire- j
ly, for no matter which way it went j
there would be a cry of crookedness,
and knowing what little faith the pub
lie has in my honesty as a wrestler, I
take this opportunity to announce my
permanent retirement from the rinfc.
ANDY MARTIN,
Heavy-weight Champion Wrestler of
Alaska”
With the retirement of Martin from
the ring and the fiasco of the last few
matches it might be well to prophecy
that the game is dead in Anchorage
for some time to come and it will take
a long time to renew interest in the
game locally.
There- are a large number of Mar
tin’s- friends who do not believe that
he was a party to or was in any way
connected with a frame up and on the
other hand many people in, the city
may think the last match was fixed.'
Be that as it may, the game is a dead
one in this city and it may be just as
well, for unless sports can be kept
clean and above board they should not
be countenanced by the sporting fra
ternity and moreover, the Times will
do it. utmost to expose any and all
irregulr.rites of any nature that have
the suspicions of being unfair or un
clean.
Moose, Attention!
The L. 0. O. M. will hold their meet
ing in Liieir old quarters Wednesday,
Jan. 31, as the new lodge room has
not been completed. Candidates, we
will hold initiation. The smoker has
been postponed.
