colorad practitioners in the District, one Of

in the charter Of this association provide,
that none Of lis mcmncrs shall hold consul

have resided in the District for six months
without becoming members Of the society.
il was q disgrace to the civilization Of the
age that thi, medical society waa attempting
10 plant itself in opposition to equal rights,

was concerned, be did not intend to allow

WOMAN SUFFRAGE-THE CARDIFF STONE
GIANT Chicago, December 9.-The final
vote on the woInal-Suflra"e bill III the LcTiS-
lature of Wyoming stood: Council, to = ;
House, ! to t.
An article appears in the Dubuque Times,
written by gentleman at Fort Dodge,
Iowa, which claims 10 throw light on the
Cardiff giant. About the 9th OF June two
men registered their names ut the st. Charles
Hotel ut Fort Dodge as George Hall, of
Binghamton, and II. +. Martin, of Boston.
After movements of suspicious character
they finally purchased an acre OF gypsum
land from John McDermott, paying 500
therefor. They built shanty Oh the ground
and employed men to open gypsum quarry
for the purpose, as they said, OF sending a
handsome piece to New York. They got
out large stone, dressed it eleven feet
three inches in length and three feet two
inches wide. and loaded it on railroad car.
The theory is that Hall and Martin took the
stone to Chicago, where it was worked into
statue, thence to Binghamton, and thence
10 Newelrs farm. The correspondent eX-
presses the opinion that Colonel Wood, for,
inerly of the Chicago Museum, is concerned
in the giant, as he happened around just
when they were digging it up.
1t is said the man who carved the giant IS
now in Chicago, but prefers to keep quiet.
