The first step to ascertain how the cltlsen of Philadelphia, north, cast, south, west, and to tfio uttermost limits, stand on the subject of suffrage was mndo yesterday afternodn. Freighted with beguiling smiles and much literature, Miss Anna B, Lewis and Dr. Eleanor M. Hlcstand Moore, leaders of the 6th district, Invaded tho 7th Ward. From door to door they stepped blithely, nsklng tho astonished house holders Just whero they stood on this all-Important question. Some of them didn't stand. Metamorphically, they lay down flat nnd refused to answer. But tho majority had very decided opinions, which they did not hesitate to express with the vigor of nbsoluto conviction. One of the first houses at which tho suffragists called was thnt of the proprietress of a board ing house In tho M0 block on Spruce street. "Suffrage?" she said, coming downstairs Im mediately when her callers were announced) "well, I guess I do bcllovo In It. Look nt mel" She fccmed to have stepped from a whitewash, vat A largo apron enveloped her person, nnd from head to foot she was splashed with white liquid. Valiant Worker for tho Causo "l'vo Just been doing a little plastering and lathing," she explained, as though this were the most nntural occupation In the world for 0110 of her sex. "I do all my own house re pairing nnd seldom have to cnll on a man for nsslstnncr. Naturally, I do not get much time for outside work for the 'cnuse,' but t am proud to snv Hint of the 23 men who board In my house, I've made suffragists out of 25 Of them and havo hopes for tho other four. One la an In-and-out 'antl,' nnd we call him 'the vlllnln,' but you Just give mo tlmo and I'll havo him around to my way of thinking In no time," Encouraged, tho suffragists proceeded around to Clinton street, where they got up against an Impassive butler of tho typical stage variety. When Doctor Moore explained her mission Jnd asked to sco the mistress of tho house, dis approval of Indies who concern themselves with politics wns written nil over the haughty gen tleman's countenance. Even tho back of his superior broadcloth Jacket seemed to bristle with Indignation at the fact of having to bear the messago upstairs. "Madame says,"' he replied superciliously, when ho returned, "that Mr. Smith-Jones him self doos not vote, and therefore, she cannot be expected to be Interested In tho matter." The suffragists agreed with mndame, but by way of spreading tho propaganda, left several llttlo yellow slips for the signature of madams and her Indifferent husband. Object Lesson by Negro Woman From the butlered rrcclncts of the ward the suffragists wended their way to the vicinity of Rodman and 8th streets, where Italians, Rus sians and negroes dhcuss the questions of the day In neighborly fashion from the vantage point of their ndjolnlng doorsteps. Virtually all of the negro women expressed the opinion that ballots "should be left to the men." When Miss Lewis suggested to one of, them that she talk tho matter over with her husband, the woman rolled her eyes in terror. "Talk votes for women wld my ole malt" she asked apprehensively; "Lordy, ladles; he shore, would beat jne up if I'd menshtnn the mntter to him." Doctor Mooro considered this a ripe tlmo to Interposo that If women wero of political Im portance, there might bo less "beating up," and tho woman wns left pondering over tho matter. A suffruge barber was discovered on South 7th street. He was Just In the act of removing tho hirsute adornment from the chin of a lath ered victim, when the visiting ladies put the matter up to him.
