IN 1879 the Massachusetts, Leg

IN 1879 the Massachusetts Leg
lature passed an act allowing
women to vote for school officers,
after the proper registration, and
93l voted. In 1880, 772 regis
tered and 6S3 voted; in 1881, 74S
registered and GAO voted. There
are in Boston, 10000 women OF
votable age; the number, then,
who saw fit to avail themselves OF
the privilege, is small. It is a
question why this is thus. Both
the defenders and opponents OF
woman suffrage can find argu-
ments in these figures.

SENATOR DAVIS, who is Vice.
President virtually, if not in name,
has lifted that hitherto humble and
unassuming Office into a position
where it may show off with be-
coming dignity. Since Brecken-
ridge the office Of Vice President
has existed as a sort of anomaly in
politics. Mr.. Hayes had Wheeler
for 4 ce-President, man who
once went fishing, but never dis
tinguished himself otherwise; Mr..
Arthur gave promise of being a
living presence, and now Davis
makes his lively identity manifest
or all suitable occasions.

G0Ou Job OF Grading.

Patrick Carberry is about finishing a
large contract for grading Rodney
street from Delaware avenue to Lover
ing avenue. From Shallcross to Low
ering the work was very difficult, the
grade being in places between nine and
ten feet deep, aud through a mass of
broken rocks and large round boulders
with ring and consistency of pig iron.
The dirt and rotten stones taken from
this street have gone great way
towards filling up the Rattlesnake Run
chasm below Rosendale Park. When
Lowering avenue is graded across
this chasm it will be one of the most
delightful drives in the city as the ave-
nue. is 80 feet wide and runs along the
edge OF the wooded bluff west of the
Brandywine. Mr.. Carberry has made
a good Job of Rodney street as he does
with all his contracts. Should one not
prove remunerative to him he pegs
away at it the harder and gets it out of
the way the sooner, but backing out is
something not in his mode of doing
business. This is why he gets so many
contracts, many people who know him
preterring TO give him little more
than many others who only botch job
and try to charge extra for every stroke
of the pick if it happens to strike be.

Carberry has the contract for carting

A Fine New Steamship.

The San Jose, one of the finest steam
ships ever built on the Delaware, left
Chester last Saturday on trial trip to
New York with number of prominent
people on board, including j. b. Hous.
ton, President of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company for which corpora.
tion the vessel was built; Edward Lau.
terbranch, director of the company;
John B. Roach, Miss Emma Roach. +.
Farron, Chief Engineer of the Chester
Iron Works, and others, The trial was
in every way satisfactory, the steam
ship making an average speed of IA
knots an hour. The San Jose was built
by the Messrs. Roach, in 1870 days, for
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company,
and will be followed by the San Juan
and the San Bias. The vessel is of iron,
and rates as A l. Her length il 300
feet, width of beam 81 feet, and depth
of hold % feet. She is supplied with
compound engines of | 500 horse. power,
with cylinders "a and 62 inches in di-
ameter, and 54.inch stroke She has
double boilers, firing at both ends, and
and she draws but II feet of water. She
is destined for tt o Central American
trade, and has accommodations Tor Sc
cabin and $50 steerage passengers. She
is said to be the first vessel ever built
in this country with the saloon in the
forward part. 1t is thought by this
that better accomm odations can be
secured for her passengers. Captain
Lima, who has long been in the service
of the company, will command the San
Jose, and VIM. Bedle is to be her Chief
Engineer. The vessel is elegantly
furnished.

The Labor Troubles.

The Amalgamated Association men
were rather cheerful to day over the
news of the Warren, Ohio, mill having
| signed the scale. President Jarrett,
who arrived in the city tbs, morning,
was on duty at the general 'ottice ell
day. In answer to the question how
he had left things in the west, he re.
piled:
"All is quiet and serene. There is
but one mill in St. LOuis-the St. Louis
Nut and Bolt Works-in operation at
thas place. The situation generally re-
mains unchanged and both sides are
continuing the struggle quietly and
peacefully, rs becomes sensible men,"
In reference to the Warren Mill,
which is the latest victory for the strik-
ers, the President remarked, "In this
case the scale is signed" and his man
ner indicated that the settlement has
nothing of the character of compro-
mise The Iron Association authorities
stated that they had no official notiti-
cation of the Warren manufacturers
having signed, but they did not seem
disposed to doubt the correctness of the
report.

pany singed compromise scale anu re-
sumed work yesterday. This Is snoth-
CT victory for the strikers and it greatly
encourages them. The superior rail
mill here and the mill at Apollo are
working single turns with non.union
men, with no prospect of increasing the
force The situation is very favorable
to the strikers.

An Unexpected Visitor.

An amusing incident occurred in the
Senate yesterday. The bill to extend
the charters of national banks was Under
consideration, and Senator Voorhees,
was delivering a carefully prepar cd
speech, which was being listened to
with marked attention.
Outside severe rain and wind were
raging, and small sparrow flew in
one of the open windows and found its
way to the Senate chamber. The little
bird hoped about quits lively upon
the rail which encircles the gallery, at
the same time chirpping away at a
great rate.
The dignified Senators Immediately
withdrew their attention from the
speaker and eagerly watched the antics
Of the sparrow. In vain the Senator
from Indiana endeavored to hold the
attention of his hearers; they were too
much taken up with the bird.
He finally directed one Of the page
boys to go up into the gallery and cap
ture the sparrow, and then proceeded
with his speech. After it was all over
some one remarked, "Well, l wouldn't
have tn ought that sparrow was more
attractive than a speech from Dan.

Cape May Point.

CAFE MAY POINT, June 19.--Cap
May Point has taken a new lease Of
life, and 1t stands to, day as one of th
finest of the many seaside resorts II
Ia situated at the extreme point of tn,
Cape, and comm ands an extended view
of the ocean and the bay. For some
time it was apprehended that to make
the place popular would prove a dire
failure, but the quick action of the Cape
May Improvement Company was not
without satisfactory and beneficial re-
suits; the entire beach has been
oyerhauled and many decided improve
ments made. The grounds have been
nicely arranged with profusion of
flower beds and gardens. The under.
brush has been completely removed
making room for pleasant wakes and
drives. A fine pavilion erected at the
great cost, has been fitted up as a Roller
Skating Rink for Children. In this
building, also, Prof. Hosfeld. OF the
Eleventh Street Opera House, will con-
duct large orchestra of experienced
musicians. Concerts will be given
every evening until the close of the
season. Lawn tennis and croQuet
grounds have been arranged, with every
attention to detail. The grounds sur
rounding the hotels and pavilion will
be brilliantly illuminated in the even
ing by numerous electric lights. The
hotels, three in number, have under.
gone complete renovation. The Carl.
ton, formerly the Sea Grove House,
has been thoroughly changed, new

been put in, hot and cold sea water
baths, and every convenience added

there is an energy displayed that can
not fail to receive recognition and
give to the place reputation no. ex.
