H. B. No. 16, which relates to

tor 2 p. NJ, on motion, the House
resolved itself into committee of the
whole, Mr.. Warman in the chair.
As soon as Sec. /, was read, q
lively breeze sprang up i'll regard to
the " female suffrage" which caused
quite q Autter for awhile, more es-
pecially as the subject came up like
thunder storm on a clear Sum-
mer's day.
Mr.. Clark moved to amend by in
serting the words "either male or
female" after stating qualification of
American citizens.
Mr.. Comegys had no objection to
women being allowed to vote; if a
wanted to navigate vessel or ssh
in bass voice she could do SO Il ing
wished so far as he was concerned.
Mr.. Clark believed that women
had every right to vote, and that
they had been debarred previously
from doing so was no reason that
this Legislature should commit an
additional wrong by refusing this
privilege.
Mr.. Kuhn hoped the amendment
would not be adopted. He denied
that it was his intention to have this
bill thus intertered with. His object
was to present good election law,
and if women were anxious to vote
he had no objection, provided..that q
two-thirds vote of the people sane
toned it.

bathir. dress had hitherto beer
made Of the kind of material. that
would not be injured by moisture
and was designed for actual service
amid tie breakers. 1t WAS tue, anC
tue truth was universally achnowl
edged, that it was " horribly lorrld
in appearance, and caused the NOS
angelic torn to assume the bed!ag
sled appearance of a partially pluck
ell bird of paradise, but this appar
emily unavoidable feature found some
compensation in the acknowledged
utility of the garb, and the freedom
It afforded the limbs in the gay
frolic Of the nymphs with Old Nep'
tune.
But woman's wit has not been
idle. II has devised a becoming at
tire, but alas. at the expense of the
primary object for which it was in
tended. The new bathing suit
consists of blouse, with shirred
pieces extending down each side Of
the front of the waist, and is fitted
to the waist with several yards o.
shirring. This is what fashion
writer says: Around the bottom OF
the blouse is flounce with six rows
of putting. A large sailor collar
ornaments the neck, and the very
short sleevs are ornamented will
puffings. The trousers which &C
with this suit are just elegant and
sweet enough to make you lose your
head when you see them. They are
finished with fcunces and puflings.

bother the common mind in the
most dreadful way. Where the
trousers leave off a brilliantlycolored
stocking begins and goes on down

makes any foot look three CT -four
sizes smaller than it really is. With
this costume you can wear a lace
collar with twelve button kids of any
color to match the material, and
nearly all colors appropriate fol
bathing dresses will admit of white
kids, which are more stylish.
But those who wear this suit, which
is pronounced BY feminine critics to
be "just too lovely for anything

The Glen Fern, a new bark of SIS
tons burden, consigned to Hewitt &
Co., of Portland, was wrecked at
the Columbia Gateway" on the
18th instant, and will prove a total
loss. There was no pilot on board,
and it is supposed she was misled
by Tillamook light. At least this is
the explanation of the Portland
Standard, which can scarcely be
considered satisfactory. The fact is,
evey vessel which enters the Colum-
bia, encounters danger, and the late
disaster is but 1.-THE of the number
of shipwrecks reported each year.
There are no exceptional seasons,
but like the sway of the man with the

Is Christianity declining? This is
the question suggested by more than
one indication which assumes greater
volume than that of ripple on the
great ocean of thought. A few years
ago Ingersoll could not have en-
tranced the thousands who to-day
listen spell-bound to his rounded
periods which teach anything but
reverance for the Living God. And
now comes the statement from q
no less authentic source than the
Chicago Christian Cynosure, that
Americans have gone to Ceylon, in
the East Indies, to teach and preach
Buddhism. cit is claimed" it
continues, that the these schools
have great success, and that they
openly oppose the spread of Christ
ianity. Many of the wealthy ma
tives are reported to be contributing
literally to the support of the enter
prise. There are already in the new
schools on the island over 600 pupils
who have been taken from Chris
tian missionary institutions. In
