for that worthless paper Would it not
have been a poor bargain Nay, would
it not have been poor bargain even if it
had been worth five dollars ? Jack did
not expect any reward for his long. hot
walk, and he was not disappointed when
he started home without any suggestion
of recompense; but it was an agreeable
surprise to him. when, just before the
day OF the picnic, he received a large
box of CONNECTIONS, which furnished an
irresistible basket for customers at Glen

the coveted books, he never looked at
them without rejoicing that he had con-

Politicians realize that women need

We shall have it because they fear two
things:
l. They are afraid OF the new element
in politics. They know where to find
the men-largely in the liquor saloons
They know how to control the present
class Of voters. They would not know
how to reach the women There
might. and probably would, be a politi-
cal revolution If women voted.
2. They are afraid of the gifted wo-
men who might seek Office There are
candidates enough now for every de-
sirable position-for the senatorial. gu
bernatorial and congressional seats

SUFFRAGE SLIPS.

Mrs. MARY WHTTALL COsTELLOE, OF
London. and daughter of Mrs. Hannah
Whitall Smith, is in request as public
speaker on temperance. woman suffrage
and politics, and has made a great sue
cess.

CANADA It is about time that the
superior honesty of woman in BUSH
ness should be recognized and re-
warded.
A WRITER for the Record has sug-
gested that the best way TO take the
post-ofice department out Of politics
would be to put the post-offices as far
as possible in the control of capable
and careful women The idea has
unusual merit in it-Philadelphia Re-
cord.
THERE is an obvious injustice when
the State exacts from a female prop
erty owner her full share of the taxes,
and yet refuses her the right to the bal
lot because she is a woman. 1t would
be more consistent il the State said that,
being a woman. she should be exempt
from taxes, and therefore from the
franchise. But this is not the position
The female owner or occupant OF prop

Such IS Fame.

Occasionally a man appears on the
stage of action who is impervious even
to the tact and grace of the American
women. Several very bright and culti-
waited women-some of whose names
appear from time to time as contrib
utors to the the columns of the ChristiaB
Uni0n-were travelling in Germany.
One OF them was very sensitive to to-
bacco smoke. and the party had asked
that in case any gentleman came into
the car and prepared to indulge in a
pipe or cigar he should be urged to re-
frain. Such a person soon made his
appearance. He was stalwart mem-
Der Of that army which is terror not
only to Europe but to Germany itself, so
autOcratic and insOlent is the manner
which its officers assume to the un-
lucky civilian who is brought in contact
with them. When the request of the
ladies was made known, he threw at
them glance which showed how
astounded he was at their unheard-of
temerity. A woman request German
officer not to smoke! Such thing had
never happened in the Teutonic annals.
When he realized that he was really de-
barred from smoking, his wrath was
hardly controlled. He scowled furi-
ously. and no sweetness of the feminine
manner or charm of the feminine smile
Modified him. After an insolent scruti-
ny of the party. he concluded that the
offenders were Americans. and, of
course, they must be those horrible fe-
male suffragists, so abhorrent to every
well-regulated German. Summoning
all the resources of English at his COM
mand. he repeated slowly and scorn-
fully the cutting words: Meetings"

The Raymaster, Duncan B. Harrison's
sterling military drama, will be produced
at the opera house Saturday afternoon by
a superb cast. By the San Francisco
press it was pronounced the strongest and
most realistically sensational drama ever
presented on the Pacific coast. Three tons
of special scenery are used in the play.
A New York exchange of a recent date
says: "a packed house greeted My Ger
dldine's reproduction, and from the raise
to fall of curtain there was no tagging of
interest. Mr.. Harrison's reconstruction
of the play demonstrates the fact that he
possesses dramatic ideas of no mean
order. The company is an excellent one
in every particular. The new music and
songs received numerous encores."

house for Saturday night.

Charles McGarvev reached town from
Trinidad. Colo, yesterday. Railroad
building is at a standstill in Colorado this
season, about the only thing on foot being
the construction of the Rock Island
branch into Colorado Springs. Mr.. Nc
Garvey will make Trinidad his ~headquar-
tiers for the summer, as he has a heavy
street grading contract in the town.
Trinidad is a town of about 1900 peo-
pie. 1t is rapidly coming to the front.
Its chief reliance is on coal, iron, stone
and wood. The people are a very ener-
getic lot. Recently when the question Of
the location of a smelter was up the city
gave the company a deed for a suitable
site, and the people themselves in forty.
eight hours raised $4,000 in cold cash
with which to buy bonds. Mr.. McGarvey
says Trinidad is the Neliest town in Col
orado at present.

What Citizens Say of the Project TO
Abandon the Resort.

The project to abandon Lake Minneha-
ha has not been received with a great deal
of enthusiasm by many citizens, and is
particularly offensive to residents of the
locality ornamented by the sheet of water.
A gentleman who owns considerable prop
erty in that vicinity, yesterday stated to a
LEADER representative that he and his
neighbors were very 10th to see the lake
destroyed. 1T could be beautifed and
made quite a popular resort" he said,
by the expenditure of a small sum of
money by the city. Even now hundreds
of persons promenade along its banks
every pleasant Sunday, and many walk
out there every evening. The simple
sight Of the water is quite a treat. 1t
may be hat the lake covers too much ter
ritory, but this fault could be remedied by
condemning a portion of it. You Just
tell the peopletha we will struggle against
the abandonment of Lake Minnehaha
until the last ditch is reached"
A gentleman who favors the adoption
OF the resolution to be introduced by
Alderman Roberts at the next meeting of
the council, offers some pretty strong
arguments favoring the propo-
sition. He alleges that the
lake is simply a dead pond which must
sooner or later be filled up. that it seri-
ously retards the progress of that portion
of the city and benefits no one. He said:
THE municipal government WINS six
teen desirable blocks under the water out
there. They are to-day worth $1,000
apiece in open market if dry. Again the
storing of water in that basin is, l I'm in
formed on good legal authority, unlawful,
as the fluid is not put to beneficial uses,
as explicitly provided in Judge Maginnis'
decree. Then an immense amount Of
water is wasted by seepage in conveying
it to Lake Minnehaha in an open trench.
To pipe it would be very expensive and
no one has yet evidenced any intention of
making a summer resort of the place. |
tell you Lake Minnehaha must CO."
