The Maryland reformers have been max
ing an interesting fight in the Legislature at

more The principal argument made against
the plan for new registration proposed by
the reformers, is that it would be wrong to
force the $4,000 voters Of Baltimore to go to

of purging the lists of about ten thousand
illegal names is involved the fimsiness of
such an argument can be readily seen proba-

There is an uproar among the Nova Scotia
fishermen over the receut order in council
regulating the lobster fisheries. The fisher
men charge that the order was passed in the
interest Of the tanners" The men of Ar-
chat have adopted memorial to be sent to
Ottawa, setting forth that by the new regu-
lstions the season wherein Holsters are al
lowed to be caught is narrowed down to prae-
ticaly less than two months of fishing.
Therefore they ask that the months Septem-
and October be added to the open season.
1t is one of the peculiarities of the Canadian
constitution that the people of Nova Scotia
cannot in their local legislature make their
own fish laws. as can the Maine people in
our Legislature, but must depend upon the
wisdom Of distant and central body 1t is
one of the beauties Of the American consti-
tuition that those matters which are local are
attended to by local legislative bodies

A Great Invention by a Lady

But a very few years ago it was not be-
lieved that woman possessed any inven-
tive genius. But in this as in most othel
intellectual employments, women are rap
idly taking the lead. The newest and
greatest invention is the New Vibrating
and Oscilating Singer Sewing Machine,
They are entirely different from any ma
chine ever made, and are the easiest run
ming and the only machine that never
gets out Of order. 1t is simply impossible
to do any but the best work on them.
They are sold on the installment plan Of
IS per month by G. P. Thomson, at the
Reliable Dry Goods House. Domestic
machines are also sold by the same
house. Thomson has also the largest
stock of Dry Goods, Carpets and Shoes,
and sells at the lowest prices. This cele-
brated and useful sewing machine is the
invention Of one of the ladies employed
by the Singer Manufacturing Co., and is
undoubtedly the greatest thing of the
age.
