The advocates of woman suffrage always

The advocates of woman suffrage always
Claimed the late Chief Justice Chase as a be-
lever in the constitutional right Of woman to
the ballot, although he never, so far As we
aware, gave public utterance to any expression
of opinion on the subject. 1t Is a noteworthy
fact, however, that one Of his last Official acts
was 10 dissent from the opinion of the Associate
Justices in the celebrated case of Mrs Myra
Bradwell against the state of Illinois. Mrs.
Brsdwell, who is the editor OF a Chicago Law
Journal. applied for permission to practice law
in the supreme court of Illinois, but her appli-
cation was denied on the ground that a woman
is not entitled to admission. The applicant ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court of the United
States, claiming that she is citizen of the
United States, and, therefore, is entitled to the
privilege of practising law in the state of Ilh-
nois, under the provisions Of the fourteenth
amendment; but the Supreme Court decided
against the plaintiff, the Chief Justice alone
dissenting. Whatever may have been his views
on the subject of woman suffrage, Judge Chase
evidently believed in extending the sphere of
female labor, and was the first to open the doors
of the United States Treasury to female appli-
Giants for clerical positions. At the time of
Judge Chase's appointment as Secretary of the
Treasury several women were employed in the
department in subordinate positions, but the
policy of appointing females was deemed inju-
otherwise, and during his administration a
large number of women were appointed to
clerical positions.
The Baltimore San says the thanks of the
community are due TO the health authorities for
the almost total extirpation of small pox from
the city, there being at present only from one
to four deaths per week from the disease. In
January last the deaths went up to fifty-two
per week. In this city the death rate from the
same disease has never reached that high figure
IN a single week during the past year, although
ITS ravages caused considerable alarm for a time
last winter The energetic action of our health
board doubtless prevented an epidemic at that
time, but for some reason other the disease
seems to be making Roadway again, and the
Board OF Health find ii necessary to enter upon
renewed efforts to extirpate the seeds of the
loathsome pest. The board finds itself crippled
good deal in its work by the want of compul-
sorry legislation, enforcing vaccination and pro-
viding for the peremptOry removal of patients
from crowded, bady-ventilated quarters, where
they stand little chance of recovery, them
selves, and where they perpetuate and spread
the infection. Nineteen-twentieths of the small
pox in this city originates in shanties of this de-
seTiptiOn, and the board are poweress to extir-
rate the pest because of being restricted in the
removal of patients to cases occurring in tene-
ment-houses, boarding houses and hotels.

CERTIFICATE.

The State Inspector of Georgia, says
The recent analysis of Clark's Ammoniatcd
Dissolved Bone warrants me in pronouncing
it highly reliable compound for the early
and effective nutrition of crops, with a suffi-
cient quantity ofammonia to stimulate, de-
velop and sustain the plant. 1t contains a
heavy proportion of Soluble Phosphoric Acid
to sustain an ample fruilage. 1t, therefore,
has an official sanction as good fertilizer.

would not advance to take them in time on
their lines-consequently the Maryland company
