She was applauled. Tho Woman's Christian

resolved to impress upon the convention the
wisdom of incorporating in the constitution q
prohibition clause. and the indications Tonight
are that . strong effor will be made for recog-
milton in the constitution by both women suf-

President Trip is quoted as SAVING that the
convention will complete its work within a
week, and not later than a week from to-mor-
row; that there is no indication to provoke de-
bate or let in outside issue.
ONLY A WEEK.
President Trip, in conversation with the
PIONEER Press correspondent tonight, stated
That there was little doubt that q constitution
would BIO adopted by one week from to-day.
There seems to BIO a disposition to avoid every
point that would be inclined to provoke prolonged
discussion, delaying the work. or creating i'll feel
ing in any quorter," he said. "Thls constitution
will he made up altogether from constitutions of
o'her States. There will be little new matter in it
none that will be in any sense experimental tr
luestionabie."
"..Then no quarter will be shown the woman
,uf:ragists and prohibitionists?' inquired the cor
know Of no one who is disposed to push either
proposition. Tho fact is, 1t is generally conceded
by the followers of both propositions that We cam
not at this time afford to hazard our chances of adj
mission in the nnion of States by taking I'm either
women suffrage OF prohibition. Now. the Rev.
Joseph Ward. who is at the head of the Yankton
delegates. is one of the strongest prohibitionists in
The country. He compares our situation to a craft
whirling through dangerous rapids. Its crew can
aot afford to stop, to hearken to the cries of the
people on the shore. No: sslese new issues should
come up after wo have a State. and as the constitu-
lion is to be made up almost wholly from the con-
%,titutions which have been tested by other States, I
am inclined TO believe there will be little delay in
pushing it to adoption. and that We will leave hero

lions for the piano by e. @. Farnsworth of this
city, organist at ST. Stephens. They embrace
fourteen numbers. seven waltzs, two marches,
five mazurkas. Several Of the compositions
display much musical ability. and all Of them
are pleasing. They vary in difficulty, some Of
them requiring decided knowledge of tech

especially are redolent with the perfume OF the
woods and the breezy atmosphere Of the lakes.
Mr. Farnsworth has contributed several COM

and study. The book is published by Oliver

The Real Estate Loan and Trust Co.


Our readers will remember the cases tried in
the q. s. District Court in this city last season,
when parties were tried for issuing notes of

ington in imitation of Z. 8 bonds The Bos-
ton Journal correspondent writes "The
Secret Service Division is informed that the
issue OF fraudulent notes by the Real Estate
Loan and Trust Company of Washington is
being carried on from this city regularly.
These notes, for $500 each, are gotten up in
imitation of United States bonds In recent
case reported from Maine the name of Gen.
George w. Balloch, formerly OF New Hamp-
the notes, for the sale of which some parties
were arrested, must have been issued at the
time when the land upon which they were
secured was in the hands of the parties issuing
them. These notes never were worth any,
thing, as the land was without any value The
latest case reported ~ the Secret Service
operators is one from St. Paul. Mimi, where
one OF the notes with face value of $500 was
paid to horse dealer There is good reason
to believe that they are held here in blank for
sale for very moderate consideration, the
blanks being filled by the purchasers to suit
the local circumstances of the case. Chief
Brooks states that the reason this thing is not
broken mp here is that no convictions for
offences against the United States can be sus-
tanned in this city.

RAILWAY NOTES.
Grand Trunk.

The Nashua Telegraph says; "A rumor
prevailed in Boston on Thursday that the
Grand Trunk railroad had offered to lease the
Boston & Lowell railroad at 81 per cent The
rumor is not confirmed, but there is no doubt
that the Grand Trunk, foreign corporation
under foreign flag, is figuring for the strate-
gic control of this end of its great through
line. III 1t should succeed, it would be a
stinging commentary on the delay OF the New
Hampshire Legislature to grant authority for
forming one strong New Hampshire line from
Wells River to Boston,"
