Woman Suffrage In Bernc. switzerland,

Long before the advent of Susan b. An
thong or Mrs Stanton as the champions u
woman suffrage, a law was enacted in
Bernie, Switzerland allowing women to vote
BY proxy, but history hns not yet recorded
an instance In which n woman has taken at
vantage Of the privilege, until at the last
municipal election, which occurred on the 9TH
Of November. The Liberals being largely in
the majority, the reactionary party quietly
hunted up the old law giving the right Of

HSI PasO.

FL PAso July 25.-Paso Del Norte IS still full of Mexican soldiers al- though the heavy endorsements an nounced on the way from Chihuahua have not yet arrived. The state de- partment at Washington is kept ful- ly advised of Military movements the Mexicans may undertake. Medina, who was arrested by the Mexican po- lice for interfering and abusing Con- sul Brigham, has been placed in cell number seven, while editor Cutting is confined iu cell number six adjoining, Cutting was very much disappointed that Medina was not put in the same cell with him and he tried to bribe the jailer to do so but without avaib as that functionary apprehe'Ided vio- fence in case he should comply. The Mexican authorities are very much put out by the bad break Medina made in assaulting the American Con sul and express regret that he has thus prejudiced their cause. Senor Manuel Rincon private secretary of the governor of Chihuahua called on Consul Brigham to-day end assured him of his regard and friendship, He said the troops had been sent to Paso Del Norte merely as q precautionary measure and if the excitement did not increase no more would be sen de was astonished that Cutting 'l.-..- refused to accept bail when offered as that would not have preiudiced his case at all. Consul Brigham replied that Cutting had done right; that the case was beyond the reach of petty courts or states now, but was ques- ton between the two nations. There is evidently a hitch in the negotia- lions on the part oi the Mexicans. As there have been no further devel- opments to-day Consul Brigham has modified his previous report and says Medina did not abuse him but his sec retary only.

Wonderful Climate.

A thrifty housewife of Tucson pur- chased two dozen eggs from a Tucson grocer Thursday. Yesterday morning when she visited the pantry to get some eggs for breakfast: : To and behold five little chickeus were chirping in the basket which led to the conclusion that the whole purchase might be in state of incubation. The little fel- lows were taken from the basket and cared for. Yesterday evening four more were added to the flock from the basket and to-day it is expected that the entire two dozen of eggs will be running about. Now comes the query how did these chiks hatch out? An investigation shows that the eggs were brought from California and were pur chased some two weeks ago. They must have matched on the way. It is in the climate. That is the way it is III Arizona, incubating by the climate. Star.
