WOMEN IN UTAH.

The women sufflagists who are so fiercey
denouncing Senator Edmunds's proposition to
disfranchise the women of Utah are putting
themselves in the rather unenviable attitude
of encouraging polygamy. The question in
volved, it is true, is one of womans rights, but
rights go so much higher than the mere privi-
lege of voting that if the latter were swept
away forever in securing the other, no one
least of all, no woman-should complain. The
suffragists themselves should, looking only to
the success of their favorite cause, be clear
eyed enough to see that its advance will be
much more rapid by the removal Of such a
stumbling block as the voting of the Mormon
sake they should encourage the disfran-
chisement of these women, if they
cannot do so for the advancement
of morality. 1t was an unfortu-
nate place in which to try the
experiment of female suffrage, but its failure
in that benighted region proves nothing for or
against the utility of such privileges when ex
ercised under other circumstances. The ma
joritY Of Mormon women are from the most
ignorant and degraded classes of this and for
eign countries, and their ideas of the high ad
vantages of the ballot are probably only a de-
gree less vague than those of the cattle on the
plains. They do know, however, that by vot
ing as their husbands and masters direct, that
they protect themselves against those who
would deprive them of fraction Of a hus-
band and their children from the charge of
illegtimacy. People in general are far more

THE announcement that Miss Edgeworth's

A COVERED book is nonenlity the binding and
outer decoration are in these days, half the
book, or at least, the key to its contents, and
many patrons of our public library have been
heard to growl over the monotonous brown paper
covers which disguise the individuality of tha
books to a dull and disagreeable extent. People
who abuse books will do it in spite of the covers,
and true book-lOvers will always cherish care'
fully the pretty bindings. What good
does the decorative binding do, if it cannot be
scent 1t is stated on good authority that lit is
best not to cover the books of a library with
paper. AS Mr. William F. Poole puts it, the
covering is expensive troublesome, and quite as
much an injury as protection to a book. A
book covered with paper is likely to need res
binding sooner than if it be not covered" The
time is ripe for another bonfire.

A FOOLISH MARRIAGE,
ferl'ed.

Miss Iriska Haverfield, of Cincinnati, was,
two years ago, a cute little miss of thirteen,
awfully smart, you know, and too sweet for
any use. Her mother had occasion, about
that time, to visit Atlanta, Ca, and took the
little girl with her. While there hiska-such
a romantically sweet name-met young mer-
chant named William P. Baird, and there
was mutual "mash" in no time Mrs. Hav-
course, and proposed to quench the premature
fame But Iriska was too smart to be easily
foiled, and a secret correspondence was car
iied on, while the smitten Georgian had fire.
quent occasion to visit Cincinnati for stock,
where he managed to clandestinely meet the
object of his consuming alteration. 1t is the
old story. The other day the precocious pair
were married on the sly, and Miss Iriska went
demurely back to school. But sep
aration, never pleasant, now became
irksome SO the little lady ran
off, concealed herself in one of the large ho-
as an old woman and escaping to Covington.
She was traced there by detectives, and got
away from them by escaping out back door.
Taking the train at Lexington she enlisted the
sympathy of conductor and passengers who
helped her along until her husband met her,
and then, of course, her joy was ineffable, and
the tender hearted passengers applauded,
though they could scarce tell why. At present
she is but fifteen but got license by putting
the number "18" in her shoe and then swear
ing that she was cover" "18" Some equally
"shrewd" device will assist her in getting a
divorce when the silly couple get through the
honeymoon and become tired of each other.

him, formerly lived in a Northern State He

with Mr.. Brown, whom she liked better, and
her two boys. Mrs. Smith, now known as
Brown, is a strong minded woman, and being
also somewhat literary in her tastes, CORE
sponded with Northern newspaper, copies of
which fell into Smiths hands. The similarity
of the sentiments expressed by the writer of
these letters with those he knew to be held by
his late wife made Mr. Smith suspicious, and he
went to Florida. Ife did not want Mrs. Smith
but he wanted his sons. When he got there,

BY a combination of three or four persons

the Council the Republican caucus nominal
tions were all defeated last night. Mr.
James T. Downey was elected icepresident
of the Council, and there was new deal all
around in the boards Mr. George W. Spahr
was elected presiding officer of the joint con-
vention, defeating Mayor McMaster. The
convention adjourned subject to the call of the
chairman. 1t will probably be long time be-
fore Mr.. Spahr calls the body together There
are number of Blossoms" to be drawn from
this event, as to nominations of men for Coun-
Gil, as to the dangers of arranging the table
without counting the host, and as to the pro-
priety of allowing the minority proper repre-
sentation upon the executive boards of the
city government. The action last night re-
ieves the Republican party from responsible
ity for the conduct of the Council during the
ensuing two years. The Board of Aldermen
is the only Republican body. The Council is
under Democratic domination. 1t will be
