WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN HUNTINGTON. little
disturbance and unpleasantness has recently
appeared among the people in regard to our
Town Superintendent. At our annual Marcn
meeting Mrs. E. W. Ellis was unanimously
chosen to serve in that office for the year
ensuing No objection was raised at the
time, although Mr.. Ellis arose to inform the
people that Mrs. Ellis would not accept the
office. and wished to be excused, but was
prevented from speaking until the vote was
taken. All passed along quietly until the
time of the public examination when Mrs.
E. refused to give such persons certificates
as the people thought were well qualified to
to teach. This created considerable excite
ment in district No. as the committee was
getting discouraged in hiring teachers that
would not pass examination, and caused the
people to Immediately look after their Super
intendent that was so unanimously chosen.
Some went so far as to refuse paying their
taxes if Mrs. Ellis retained her office. Secre-
tary French has recently been consulted in
regard to the matter but the people have
failed to receive decided answer as case
of this kind has never been decided IN the
courts although there have been similar cases
in other towns where women have held the
office of Superintendent and no trouble has
grown out of it. Mrs. Ellis is a lady of good
scholarly attainmentS, being an experienced
teacher and is well qualified for the position
she occupies. As it was the voice of the
people that she should hold that office We
hope that it will be settled without going to
further expense. r. N

WILLIAM CHARLES MACREADY, an I

WILLIAM CHARLES MACREADY, an Eu-
glish actor, whose name has been familiar to
playgoers for more than half century, died
in April. Macready was born IN London
on the Sd of March, 1893. HIS father was a
theatre manager, but designed his son for one
of the learned professions.
About the year 1910 his father fell into
pecuniary straits. Young Macre4dy at the
time was nearly ready to enter Oxford, bus
50 serious was his fathers embarrassment
that he gave up all idea of finishing his col
lege course, and betook himself to the stage
as means of gaining liyelih BOD. He APP
peared first as Romeo, at Birmingham, n
June, 1910.
He first appeared before London audience
at the Covent Garden Theatre, September IL.
1916.
10 1926 he made his first visit to this
country and in 1923 VISITED Paris, where he
was received with more favor than had DC "a
shown to either Kean or kemble.
After a number of seasons OF theatrical
management in London he again visited this
country in 1881 lie returned for the
third time in 1918, and it was during tlls
visit that the famous Aston Place riot &C.
Cured (where the Mere lntie Library now
stands), growing out of the rivalry between
him andj Edwin Forrest, during which
twenty-five persons were killed and thirty
six woun led by the military.
Mr. Macready left the stage definitely IN
February, 1851. He did much to purify the
stage, both 10 the character of the plays pre-
sented and in the personal life of the actors.

the former sections so as to give the same H.

The Farmers Cheap Transportation con
ventlon which met at New York Wednesday
was presided over by Josiah Quincy Of
Boston A.G. Dodge was the Vice President
for Vermont. The convention adopted reso-
lutons declaring that cheaper transportation
was t necessity Of the time, recommending
associations of farmers to give strength to
their movement, and denouncing many of
the railroads as monopolies and as not max
ing their lines in anyway the convenience
which they might be to the public. The two
following resolutions show what they pro-
pose to do about it,
That the present system of railway man.
agement having failed to meet the Just
expectations and demands of long suffering
people, must be radically reformed and con-
trollcd by the strong hand of law, and rail-
way corporations compelled ito perform their
Or oper functions as servants and not masters
Of the people.
That to this end we invoke the aid of all
fair minded men in the states of the Union
in excluding from the halls of Legislation,
from the executive and judiciary, all such
railway attorneys, or, rather hirelings, as
prostitute public office to the base uses of pri-
vate gains.

An important question to one who has his
come insane and take his own life, the COM
pany would be liable or not. That there are
people who would get insured, having pre-
viously formed the intention OF committing
suicide, is very possibly true; but there
should be some protection for man who
really dies by disease, as an insane man who
kills himself does. \ decision was given re-
Gently by the United States Supreme Court,
bearing upon this point;
The Mutual Life Insurance Company of
New York refused to pay the amount of a
policy held by one Terry, on the ground that
ne died by his own hand, as the policy
tanned prov sion by which it was made void
in case OF suicide. 1t was shown that Terry
was insane at the time OF his death. and the
court held that Terry mind was 50 impaired
toy insanity that the suicide was not his vol
untary act. and hence decided that the con-
pany Is liable. TINS precedent il likely to
prove convenient one, tor unatt same indl-
vldual should have leaning toward life in
surance, insanity and suicide Is nothing very
unusual. The court also rendered an impor-
tant decision as to the liability of travellers
insurance companies. One Ripley was way
laid and beaten to death while walking 20
his home in Dalton, Mich. late at night,
after leaving the cars at that point. The
company refused to pay his policy, and the
court sustaIns 1t, on the ground that he was
not on public or private conveyance
