EDITOR NEW NORTHWEST:
1 listened to your famous stump
speech given at Steinway Hall in New
York city on the evening of May 10th.
1t made me happy to hear you speak
so lovingly and so kindly of the men.
Every word you uttered fully endorsed.
All the days of my life l have been
blessed with the society of great, broad
shouldered, handsome mem-men in
whose hearts truth held her queenly
sway, and whose bodies were "elothed
upon" with virtue and generous deeds.
With the majority of all welI-disposed
women | join in the plea for the ballot.
1t must and will be given us, for have
hoped for it and prayed for it ever since
the days of my pantalets and home
made shoes. Three thousand miles OF
United States soil forbids my listening
often to your voice, but shall avail
myself of the next best thing, 1 shall
subscribe for yourpaper. Enclosed find

THE INDUSTRIAL FAIR.-All sections
of Western Washington seem to be alive
with preparations for the coming fair
next October. We hearOf big beets and
cabbages in Wbatcom, and of apples
almost as large; Of mammoth heads OF
wheat and rolls of golden butter in
Chehalis; of preserves, jellies, and
marmalade in ThurstOn county; and OF
great variety of choice fruits in King,
all destined for this first annual fair OF
the Association. If Pierce and Mason
counties are true to their promises, we
shall havesom samples Of their products
that will cause even old settlers to stare.
The deft fingers Of the ladies are busy
with fancy work of all kinds, and scores
of mechanics are preparing specimens Of
their craft. This is as 1t should be. we
expect to see a display next October,
worthy the liberal cash premiums of
fered by the Committee.-Otynlpio
Standard.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

Mrs. T.. y. c., Nehalem: Our clerk
says the clippings were mailed as or
dered. The whole occurred in our alb
sence. Will endeavor to obtain the
poem in question for the NEW NORTH

Jenny w, Walla Walla: Thanks for
the two subscribers and cash. Three
more and your paper is free. If every
woman who is interested in our work
would do her best to increase our pay
ing list, we should be able to make a
better paper than they have yet seen.
As 1t is, we are compelled TO exhaust
our mental and physical forces with the
needle and sewing machine to pay cur
rent expenses. But we won't give up
the ship.
b. a. B., Port Garibaldi: The fault
must be in the pest office. Your paper
is regularly mailed from this office.

turn one article. Have room for the

'saintly" specimens of self-righteous-
ness. Though We had no voice in the
nomination of Mr.. Grant, and no hand
in making the platform, we hail ii rs o
harbinger of the good time coming.
Grant will be elected by spontaneous
combustion. Then, no for woman's en-.
franehisement! Greeley and Brown
cannot see above sexual politics.

London, 20. In the House of Commons
to-day, Mr.. Hoorsman in accordance with his
before expressed intention, again asked the
government to assure Parliament that in case
fresh negotiations relating to the Alabama
claims were entered upon with the American
government, no proposals will be finally ac-
cepted till they had received the sanction OF
Parliament.
Mr.. Gladstone in reply to Mr.. Hoorsman' S
question, said that he informed the gentle
man las: night that his had been unable to
consult with his colleagues on the subject.
He was yet without an opportunity to do SO,
and consequently not able to give the assur
ance asked for. He would state however,
that Parliament would be informed at all
times OF the spirit, aim, direction and policy
of the government on all important questions.
As far as the Alabama claims were concerned
he believed the speech of Her Majesty at the
opening of the session gave all the necessary
information.
Mr. Gladstone in conclusion said it would
be impossible to delegate to Parliament the
power of making treaties.
Mr.. Hoorsman in reply to the last portion
of Mr.. Gladstone's remarks, cited that an
American Senator had the power to ratify or
reject any treaty the government may make
Mr. Gladstone repeated his assertion that
it would be impossible to allow Parliament
to be the treaty making power, but stated at
the same time that it was the duty ofthe gov
eminent to keep Parliament informed of any
alteration in the governments policy.
When the case of the Tichborne claimant,
now in prison on charge of perjury, was
called in court to-day, no one appeared to
bail him as was expected, and it was announc-
ed that he was unable to obtain bail. The
application of the claimant to be released on
giving bonds for his appearance was there
fore indefinitely postponed.

Destructive Fire.

Louisville, 20. The Ohio Falls Car Works
at Jefferson were destroyed by fire this after
noon. The fire was dicovered about half
past two among some shavings in the planning
mill, which is supposed to have caught from
a spark from the smoke stack. The works
employed about 700 men and did an i'm
mense business. The works had orders at
the time of the fire for 2000 cars. Six
teen passenger coaches nearly finished, a
number of freight and other cars were burned
The works cleared net profit last year of
5000. 900 The loss will reach $1,000 and
the insurance is about 100000, mostly in
northern companies. There were eco men
in the shops at the time, nearly all of whom
lost their tools. Several persons had mar
row escape from death during the fire. One
man is missing and it is feared he was burned
to death. Louisville engines were sent over
to assist the two government engines.

We notice that some of the papers stigma
tise the practice of clipping horses as barbar.
,ous and inhuman that the practice in climate
like that of Maine is simply an act of cruel
ty which should receive the condemnation OF
every philanthropic and humane Individual
Now if this be SO, there are many barbarians

gone out of the fashion. But there is another
side to this question. We are assured by ex-

to know ga thing or two," that the clipping OF

Bishops Serenaders.
This popular troupe will perform in this
city next Tuesday evening. We clip the fol-
lowing from the Providence Journal:
providence bears the reputation among
the knights of burnt cork of being "good
show town." and so it is when a troupe is
brought here worthy to be patronized. Last
night was an illustration of the truth of the
aphorism, the hall being crowded long before
the rise of the curtain. The songs were well
selected and well sung, both the sentimental
and comic dtties being applauded and encor-
ed. Mr.. Sweet has fine voice, and deliver
ed the "Home by the Sea- in a most pleasing
manner. Talbot and Wheeler, the lend
men," are intensely comical, each in his way,
and their witticisms are both fresh and good,
novelty very welcome for its scarcity.
Roomes banjo solo was encored, and the boys
could hardly get enough of Sully's saltatory
eccentricities. Wheeler and Sweet gave a
scene Of Macbeth-improved-i which the
former reminded US greatly Of certain star
tragedian. The performance was concluded
by whimsical, mirth producing interlude, in
which several "old-time" songs were intro
duced and some rare "tableaux" displayed.
fine brass band connected with the company
enlivened the intervals acceptably."

THE SECRET OF CAPTIvATIoN.--Feature
of Grecian mould, a well-turned neck and
beautifully rounded arms, are no doubt very
nice things to have, and ladies who possess
these charms have reason to be thankful to
Mother Nature; yet, after ALL the most capti-
waiting of all womanly charms is pure, fresh
and brilliant complexion. This superlative
fascination any lady may secure by using Ha-
gans Magnolia Balm, the standard beautify
ing preparation of the present age. 1t differs
from all ordinary cosmetics in three most es-
sential particulars. inasmuch as it contains
no injurious ingredients, does not contract or
shrivel the skin as all the astringent blooms.
lotions and powders eventually do, but
produces lasting loneliness by improving
the health OF the skin. Under its operation
the texture of the epiderms becomes finer,
and the surface soft as velvet and smooth as
porcelain Features cannot be changed, but
compilations can, and it is quite certain that
a lady with no other charm than a fresh and
rosy complexion, will attract more admiration
in company than her neighbor with a classic
face but a sallow skin.
