Ladies' Week---snd Fate Of the WOm-
ans Suffrage Bill.

MONTPELIER, Nov. -.
This is ladies week at the capital
Every county in the state is well represent
and ex-members. This evening they are
holding a reception at the state house, which
is the social event of the session. From
Nindham county we notice Mrs. Fuller,
Mrs. Estey and Mrs. Holton of Brattleboro,
Mrs. Adams of Marlboro, Mrs. Miller of
Dummerston, and Misses Goodwillie and
Lee of Vernon.
The woman's suffrage bill came from the
committee some time ago, but was appro'
prately laid aside till this time The de-
bate on the bill began yesterday afternoon
aud lasted full day. To many it was dis
appointing Most of the speeches were
long enough to he tedious. They consisted
in the main of the arguments of the old
lyceum days, revamped and brought down
to the present date by the interjection of
the current jokes and stories But if the
debate was disappointing the vote was more
so. In 1886 similar bill passed the house
by a vote of 1875 to 80 Today the vote
stood 80 for to 1913 against. Three of the
Windham county members voted for the
bill-Mr. Ball of Rockingham, Mr.. Mann
of Wilmington, and Mr.. Barrett of Wards
boro. The bill of 1886 had twelve Wind
ham county votes What killed the bill f!
Not the arguments of its opponents in the
debate, which were mainly those of ridi-
cule but the feeling among the members
that the women of the state were not ask
ing or wishing its passage, as evidenced by
the fact that after thorough canvass but
little more than 1000 women we're found to
sign petitions in its favor against some 1000
in 1886.
The committee ON banks have presented
their report on the Walbridge savings bank
bill. They recommend no changes from the
existing law except reduction from fifty
eight To fifty per cent Of assets as the limit
of investment in real estate mortgages out
of the state.
The bill lately introduced to prevent bet
ting on the result of elections is receiving
considerable attention. 1t not only fines
the person betting but makes it unlawful
for person or an institution TO act as stake
holder. The officer who neglects TO prose
cute viOlators is also subject to penalty. 1t
is not expected that the bill will pass till af
ter next Monday. On the evening of that
day Montpelier citizen who has won near
ly $4,000 ON the election of Harrison, will
give a grand banquet at the Pavilion hotel,
to which every member of the legislature
holds a ticket. X.

The United States supreme court has
rendered a decision in favor of the gov
eminent in the case of the United States
against the American Bell telephone com
pany, and remands the case to the Massa-
chusetts circuit court for trial. The facts
in the case are, in brief, that U. S. Solicit
or jerks, acting as attorney, brought suit
in equity in the circuit court of Massachu
sets to have the Bell company's patent
cancelled and declared null and void on the
ground that it was procured by fraud and
that Bell was not the first inventor of the
telephone. The answer of the Bell com
pany was that the government could not
bring a suit to cancel patent which it had
granted. The supreme court overrule'
this demurrer and remands the case for tri
al as stated.

1t should be remembered that whichever
way the vote Of West Virginia may now
be declared-for Cleveland or for Harri-
son-the significance is the same. The
change is such as to take it out of the Dem
ocratic column and make it doubtful state
with strong Republican proclivities. The

Mr. Dana of the New York Sun is deal
ing out frozen chunks of solid truth to his
brother Democrats since the election. Here
is one of them:
Those who are greatly surprised by the re-
suit of the election in Brooklyn may gain light 10y
examining the neighbOrhOOd where the Demo
cratic losses were greatest. These neighbOrhOods
are peopled by skilled mechanics who earn from
SIS to S2l week, working in factories Of various
sorts. They are AN intelligent lot Of men. Many
Of them read the technical papers devoted tO the
business Of their trades, as well as the political
journals of the day They do not need the al.
vice Of campaign orators when deciding how they
shall vote. The educational campaign excited
their contempt, and they voted for what they b.
lieved to be the interests Of their guilds In the
brown stone districts Cleveland held his own; in
the tenements he made gains; but in the districts
Of small homes those gains were knocked higher

Remi,tances From Postmasters.

Of the $500 pOstmasters who make
their settlements with the government
through the st. Louis sub-treasury, quite a
number make their remiutances in u novel
way. Some send the money sewed up in
little tobacco bags, some lay it down flat
on q cloth, put another piece of cloth on
top of it and then stitch all around the
money. Others spread mucilage on piece
of paper, lay the coin fiat on the sticky
surface, and with another piece of paper
on for Il cover the money is shipped in
that way. don't know why they are so
particular, unless they imagine the pack
ages to be insecure. Some send the money
in cigar boxes, and there are several other
sorts of packages that are just as odd.
The nickels, ten cent pieces, etc, are
separated by some in different packages,
as if they were afraid that the big pieces
might swallow the little ones if they were
put together. Some collect al the pennies
they can get, and We often get So or 81
in pennies from one postmaster. OF
coUre the pennies come handy TO supply
onr local demand for them. Last sum
n.er we we're short of pennies, but we
have quite a supply Of them now. Oc-
clsionaiiy we get mutilated money. We
send back mUtilated nickels and dimes.
bIlt it is not worth while TO return the
pennies. for they pass.-Assistsnt Treas-
lrer in Globe Democrat.

\ newly married couple were advertis-
ing their affection regardless of comment.
All those who had worn the matrimonial
harness lCng enough to be CALLED were
quite out of patience with the happiness
of this hopeful couple, particularly as
there was a disparity in their ages, and
the bride had ''the heft" OF the disparity
on her side. She was the older by fifteen
nr twenty years, and society resents that
in spite of tine fact that it is getting to be
no uncommon thing. The happy couple
kept their window Up, much to the dis
cOmfiture Of the other passengers. At
last a lady who sat behind them--only a
woman could have cut so unerringly and
mercilessly into the weak spot of her soul,
leaned over and said with the suavest
smile: MADAM, will you kindly request
your son to close the Window / fear
am taking cold" The window came
down and so did the spirits Of the bride. -
