Born In Ohio In 1838, she was the widow of Dr Canning Woodhull when she made a speaking tour of England One of her audience In old St. James hall was the late John Bidulph Martin. English banker and philanthropist Their marriage followed, and the woman who had startled the United States by running for the Presidency came to England to reside. And early this, year that memory was revived again by the following A. P. dispatch from Brighton.

The first time was .55 years ago when Mrs. Victoria Woodhull Martin was the Equal Rights party candidate for the Presidency, in 1S72, when U. S.

In 1872 Mrs. Martin carried the banner of equal uffrage In Maine and California as Presidental candidate of the Equal Rights party and at eighty-eigh- t she is still Interested In proYnot ing the tmancipttton of women. "I want women to have the vote as soon as they are fit to use it," Mrs Martin told a correspondent for the Associated Press, "but I do not believe in forced is maturity. Twenty-fiv- e young enough for persons of both sexes to exercise the franchise." Mrs. Martin was seated with her daughter, Miss Virginia Woodhull, In tbelr apartment here when she received the correspondent. Time has tf dimmed the eyes of this spirited woman who, with her sister, the late Lady was Cook, formerly Tennessee-Claflin- . the first woman broker In New York and lectured and published "Claflin's Weekly" In support of equal Ruftrage and eugenics before they both came to England.

Of course, neither Mrs. Martin uor Mrs. Lock wood to use the argot of the day "got to tir.st base" with their candidacies, but the former waged a spectacular campaign and was a striking figure in her tiay, which was long before the era of the "new woman." Unsuccessful Presidential candidates usually slide back into the oblivion of public forgctfulness. But uot so with Mrs. Martin. Three years ago the memory of her campaign was revived by the following Associated Press dis patch from Loudon, England; X A "4 svt 1 J. f i it above-mentione- MRS.

Mrs. Lock wood was horn in New York in 18o0. and a desire for an education became her ruling passion. At eighteen she was the bride of Uriah McNeil, a young farmer, and at the a widow with a age of twenty-threbaby daughter to support. Still determined to secure an education, she worked her way through Genesee college and became principal of the Lock-por- t schools and later of the McNeil seminary at Oswego. At the close of the Civil war she went to Washington to teach and to study law, but another marriage, this time to Dr. Ezekiel Lockwood, an army chaplain. In 1SC8. interfered with the progress of her career. He died nine years later and she turned again to study. She received degrees from Syracuse and the National University Law school In Washington, which gave her the equip ment to make the tight for admission Anglo-America- MRS.

Already several names have been suggested as possibilities. One of them Is Mrs. Florence E. Allen, a Jus-t- e of the Ohio Supreme court, who was defeated In a campaign for the senate last year. Another is Mrs. Medill McCorraick, whose father, Mark Ilanna of Ohio, and whose husband, Medill McCormiek of Illinois, both occupied senate seats. It Is considered certain that Mrs. McCormiek will be a candidate in the Illinois senatorial campaign If Col. Frank Smith Is denied his seat and a vacancy ensues. Still another Is Mrs. Alice Roosevelt I.ongworth. wife of Nicholas Longworth, speaker of the house. "Princess Alice" has been one of Washington's striking personalities ever since her father, Col. Theodore Roosevelt, entered the White House away back In 1901 and there are those who say that she Is a "chip off the eld block" and possesses such charm, tact and political sagacity as to make her a force worth reckoning with In politics.

She was one of the early workers for equal rights for men and women and drafted and brought about the passage of a bill equalizing the pay ol women In the government service wltb that of men for equal work. But it was perhaps her labor In the Interesi of world peace which brought her her greatest fame. For 36 years she was a members of the Universal Peace union and took part in the first Peace con gress In 1SS5. She compiled he peace treaties of the United States, studied them and brought about the introduction of the first bill in congress for an International arbitration court.

CONSIDERING a no trump bid IN are a few restrictions which should be mentioned: Frequently a hand will meet all of the requirements of a no trump bid suit with and also contain a five-car- d ample support for a bid of that suit Either a no trump or a suit bid may be made; which shall It be? All of the rules of Auction have been determined from the mathematical law of averages by trying a large number of experiments, and It has d suit been found that a good bid is much safer than a no trump, especially when the hand contains a worthless doubleton. Therefore, if all possibilibids had equal game-goin- g ties the suit always would be chosen, but because of the various counts the no trump has the greatest game-goin- g possibility. It requires but three odd. tricks to make game in no trump while four odd are necessary In a major 6uit and five odd in a minor. Taking these differences into consideration It has been found that d most hands of the type will produce game oftener at no trump if the long suit is a minor, but that the chances for game are better with the suit aa trump if that suit is a major. Therefore, we obtain the simple rule that when holding a hand from which a bid of a suit or of no trump may be made, to bid the suit If it Is a major but to bid no trump ff the strong suit is a minor. Another matter of Importance In a no trump declaration is the distribution of the cards In the various suits. The most favorable distributions for a no trump bid are while and are increasingly and more dangerous. In other words, two doubletons are very undesirable nn- -' less both are protected suits ; a single ton is decidedly objectionable; and being void of a suit prohibits a no trump bid. The reasons for this are easy to see. If the bidder Is very short of a suit some one at the table is probably very long in that suit, and if the opponents open It and dummy does not have It stopped the opponents are quite sure to take five or six tricks in It before the declarer can get the lead. It is not wise to abandon a good no trump because of holding a singleton Ace or King, since even if that suit Is led, the declarer could expect to stop It by taking the first trick. However, if the hand has a worthless singleton much more heed should be .given to It. A major worthless singleton is not nearly so dangerous as a minor, because if second hand holds a powerful major suit he is quite s.ure to bid It while he would Invariably pass when holding an equally strong minor suit A hand which contains two suits of at least five cards, either of which is strong enough for an original bid, " is called a and Is considered the strongest possible hand at Auction when played with that suit for trump which best fits the partner's hand. A no trump should not be bid r. when holding a We find a slight difference between an original bid by third hand and one by dealer or second hand because third hand's partner, by passing, has informed him that he does not hold four sure tricks. Therefore, third hand should hate 2 quick tricks In order to make an original bid of one. When we reach fourth hand this same condition exists, but there 19 another reason why fourth hand should have added strength befora -making an original bid. After three players have passed, unless fourth hand has an especially strong holding the indications are that the cards are very evenly divided, and that fourth hand could not make game, which rhould be the goal aimed at by every bid. If fourth hand passes, the hand Is not played, "but if he bids, it opens up a new round of bl.lding and the opponents may start a secondary bid upon wb'ch they may be able to help each other sufficiently to go ganfe. Therefore, unless fourth hand haa at least one quick trick more ) than the requirements for an original bid by dealer or second hand, he should pass and throw down the hand. five-car- e, MRS. FLORENCE ALLEN ernors," Mrs. Miriam Ferguson of Texas and Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross of Wyoming proved that it wasn't so Improbable after all. So It's neither Impossible nor Improbable that Mrs, American Citizen may aim even higher than the halls of congress or the executive offices of a statehouse and we may yet see one of them presiding over the United States senate as "president of the of the senate and United States." As a matter of fact, the movement to bring that about already Is under way. Mrs. W. 11 Maulsby, vice chairman of the Iowa Democratic women's organization, has announced that an effort will be mailt to obtain the nomination for Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, widow of the war President.

It will not be long, according to a recent report, before bullfighting Is ousted as the national sport of Spain. When bullfighting goes, it will take with It the custom of rewarding the successful matador with the ear of the bull that he kills. To the successful contestant In the "corrida" the ear of the bull means as much as the silver cup to a winning tennis player or as the little gold football to the college halfback. It Is the bullfighter's "medal of honor." When an unusually skillful matador has disposed of a bull the populace at a bullfight, stands up .and shouts, "La orejal La orejal ("The earl The earl") ThU means that the crowd wants the president of the "corrida to award to the fortunate matador, as an especial mark of distinction, one of the ears of the bull.
