Parkhurst having removed to Washington, they cordially invited me to consider their lovely home mine also indefinitely. This kindness overwhelmed me with gratitude. Rest at last, real rest for the body as well as for the soul; but it was not for long. The calls accumulated thick and fast, and again I had to be up and doing.
I am glad to hear that none of the officers are dangerously wounded." "Parkhurst had his forearm laid open with a cut from a kris, and Balderson had one of their spears through his ear. Dr. Horsley said if it had been half an inch more to the left, it would probably have killed him. Lieutenant Somers of the marines is more badly hurt, a spear having gone through the thigh. It cut an artery.
E. E. Newbert, Benedict F. Maher, Samuel C. Manley, Charles S. Hichborn, all of Augusta; ex-Governor Oakley C. Curtis, of Portland; Governor-elect Frederick H. Parkhurst, of Bangor; U. S. Senator Hale, opposed but finally voted for the Federal Suffrage Amendment. When the fourth volume of the History of Woman Suffrage closed in 1900 it left the Maryland association just eleven years old.
The Lexow committee was indirectly a result of the Parkhurst crusade and the Parkhurst crusade was made necessary by an unheard of state of public immorality. Of Parkhurst and Lexow the "Citizens' Union" is the child and more than the child. It stands for purity in politics and the rights of the honest citizen. It objects to high salaries and little work. It desires economy in public places.
I had received a surfeit of the Camillean style of literature in my youth before I learned with Ecclesiastes the Preacher or even with Parkhurst that "all is vanity." So far as my experience goes the only story of a fallen woman that was worth the writing and the reading is that of Mary Magdalen; and it is not French. Her affaires d'amour appear to have ended with her repentance.
"I wish I could get my master to employ him instead of the other," said Blaize. "I wish so too," cried Parkhurst, eagerly. "Do you think it could be managed?" "I fear not," returned Blaize. "There would be no harm in making the trial," replied Parkhurst. "But you shall now see the learned gentleman.
I tell you, a day like this, with a good sailing breeze, and four of us to row, in case it dropped, there'd be no more difficulty in going over there and back than there would in rowing from here back to Parkhurst." "How long would it take to get to Shargle?" inquired Hutton. "Why, only two hours, and perhaps less. The wind's exactly right for going and coming back too.
Meanwhile the two principals held the real centre of the stage. Betty Medill or was it Betty Parkhurst? storming furiously, was surrounded by the plainer girls the prettier ones were too busy talking about her to pay much attention to her and over on the other side of the hall stood the camel, still intact except for his headpiece, which dangled pathetically on his chest.
But such times were rare very rare with us. Indeed, I had been months at Parkhurst before I witnessed a real storm, and months again before I saw another. So that my acquaintance with the bay was almost altogether connected with its milder aspects, and as such it appeared both fascinating and tempting.
It seemed to me at that time that what a weak church like that most needed was a strong, powerful church to put its arms around it and give it support. I interviewed Dr. Parkhurst, as I was Chairman of a Committee of the City Vigilance League which he organized. The result was that Dr. Parkhurst's church gave it for a year support and absolute independence of action at the same time. Then the Rev.
