A Great Step.

Wyoming leads all the States by be-
ing the first to apply the great princi-
Piles of the Declaration of Independ-
ence.- By vote of eight to one, it
writes into it's constitution equal politi-
cal rights for men and women. This
grand historic credit, says Lucy Stone,
in Woman's journal, will forever belong
to- the young State which first proved
the principle by twenty years of
actual practice, and then by great vote
wrote into it's Constitution and into it's
Bill of Rights.
The Suffragists of Illinois, in session
when the good news arrived, sent 10y
GUS greeting" to the Governor of Wyom-
ing, and the great audience of the w.
C. Z. u. assembled in Chicago rose and
sang:
praise God, from whom all blessings fow."
Wherever the English language is
spoken, this great step of advancing
civilization, gained after forty years Of
bloodless warfare, will be hailed with
Joy by every friend of justice. Thank
God for Wyoming, for. her brave and
true men and women who stood together
in support of the great principle OF ''the
consent of the governed"
Somewhere the stones are lying that
will hereafter be piled up to mark the
spot where men first trusted that prin-
ciple which God has made true He has
also made safe. The fact marks an
epoch. 1t is the beginning of the end Of
the long subsection of women. Now let
us strive to make the other States fol-
low the example of Wyoming, the young
pioneer of the West.

SEX IN EDUCATION.
Proper Instruction for the Formation OF
Character.

character.
1t is a commonly accepted view, writes
Mary E. Cardwill, in Education, that
the chief end of woman's school educa-
tion is refinement; that of mans prac.
tical utility. How else can we account
for the practice in many ''well-to-doo
families of sending the girls to high
schools and colleges, while the boys are
permitted to grow up uneducated? For
what other reason are art and music, or
accomplishments, still thought more
suitable for girls than for boys? Why
else are girls still allowed to neglect
solid intellectual requirements for the
sake of these so-called accomplish
ments? Ideal education is the develop
ment of the individual, and the best re-
suits can be attained only by the indi-
vidual training of every boy and of
every girl. Until the millennium comes
little nearer, however, children will
be educated in masses, and natural apti-
tudes can be only in measure consid-
cred. But while an ideal standard in
methods is so slowly approached as to
seem little more than fair dream of
far distant future, the greatest aim of
all systems of education is after all, the
formation of character. With this aim
in view, it is difficult to understand why
the question of sex should enter into
education.
Is it not just as important to boys as
to girls to be gentle, thoughtful, tender
and virtuous? Is it not as important to
girls as to boys to be honest, prompt in
keeping engagements, self-helpful and
useful? Why should not the study of
the classics give the same fine literary
tastes, deep culture and peculiar mental
development to the. one sex as to the
other? Why should not the same dis
cipline of mind, and development of
practical sense, accrue alike to both
sexes from the study of mathematics?
Why should not girls as well as boys be
given the benefit Of lessons SO important
to life, and acquire the same habits of
accuracy, to be learned from the thorough
study of natural science? Why, again,
should not boys, whose life experiences
make the saving influence of personal
refinement peculiarly necessary, be
taught music, French, drawing, decor
ative art, and other things supposed to
be SO important in the education of
refined young lady?

EQUAL ExpenseS.

Women are working their way into
the commercial travelling business very
fast, they are determined and persistent
and it will not be, very long, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, before they stand
on an equal footing with the men. OF
course, equal recognition in business
means equal recognition in wages, and
in few years woman will occupy the
position she has been struggling for, and
between her and man there will be no
distinction. 1t twill make a big change
in many ways in the relation between
man and woman. The law of compensa-
tion will get in it's inevitable work and
revolutionize things. The burden of
social expense, for instance, falls on
man; the balls, concert and theater
tickets, drives, sleighing parties, sup
pers and all that sortof thing come from
him. Under the present distribution of
expense and with equal opportunity in
money making, woman would possess an
advantage which nature will not allow
to any class. Mans advantage in that
respect has been Offset by the extra ex-
penses he has always been subjected to,
and as woman enlarges her liberty and
sphere of action these outlays will be
forced upon herself 1t is in the nature
of things that the equality. talked about
SO much means equality in all ways.

THE VIENNA FREIHAUS.
A Building Containing Between Twelve
and Fifteen Hundred Rooms.


Could you, if requested, give the size
and location of the largest building in
the world? If, trying to answer such
question, would you designate the st.
Peters Cathedral, the City Hall at Phil
adelphia, the st. Paul's, Cathedral or the
Westminster Abbey as being worthy of
such high-sounding title? Not one
person in a hundred would 60 outside
the above list to find an answer for the
question. Yet it would be necessary to
do so before a correct answer could be
given. There are many large buildings
both in the United States and in Eu-
rope; many hundred roomed structures
of stone and iron, glass and brick. Ev-
cry American, European and Oriental
country has it's scores of public and pri-
vate mansions, yet Vienna, Austria, has
the giant of them ALL The ''Freihaus"
free house) situated in Wieden, a SUBJ
urb of the city just mentioned, is the most
spacious building on the globe. Within
its wall whole city of human beings
live and work, sleep and eat. 1t contains
in all between 200 and 1,50O rooms, di-
vided into upwards of 400 dwelling
apartments of from four to six rooms
each
This immense house has thirteen
courtyards- open and eight covered
and large garden within its walls. A
visitor to the building relates that he
once spent two hours in looking for a
man known to reside in the house.
Scarcely trade, handiwork or profess
sion can be named which is not repre-
sented in this enormous building. Coll
and silver workers, makers of fancy
articles, lodging house keepers, book.
binders, agents, turner's, hatters, Off
GERS, locksmiths, joiners, tutors, scien-
tific men, government clerks three
bakers IS tailors, 20 shoemakers and
many other tradesmen live in it. n
The house has 81 stair cases, and
fronts on three streets and one square.
In one day the postman's delivery has
amounted to as many as 1000 pieces to
this single, but titanic house. To ad-
dress letter to the house and to the
person it is intended for does not assure
the sender that the person to whom it is
addressed will ever receive it. In order
to make assurance doubly sure,n all
letters addressed to the "Freihaus'
must be provided with both the given
and the surname of the person for whom
it is intended, the number of the court,
the number of the staircase and the
number of the apartment: otherwise it is
as apt to go astray as though addressed
to city unprovided with directions
as to street and number. At the present
time 2,112 persons live in this immense
building and pay an annual, rental Of
over 100000 florins.-St. Louis Republic.

HISTORIC EARTHQUAKES.
Shocks That Destroyed Entire Cities ana
Thousands of Persons. g..

One of the most remarkable earth-
quakes of antiquity overthrew many
cities of Italy, but did not interrupt the
battle of Thrasmine, which was raging
at the time. This was in the year 217
B. c. In 365 A. d., the greater part Of
the Roman world was convulsed by an
earthquake, which was followed by
tidal waves. For long time afterward
the city of Alexandria annually COM
memorated the fatal day when $4,000
citizens lost their lives in an inundation.
Two centuries later the Roman Empire
again was shaken, and credulity is stag
gered by the statement that $50, 900 lives
were lost.
One shrinks from enumerating many
of the great earthquakes of history, for
to attempt the task is to sup full of hor-
rors. In the early history of America
the disappearance of whole cities was
not unusual. In 1856 10000 persons
were killed in Naples. In 1850 there
were destructive shocks in Syria, and at
Balbec 10000 perished. In 1888 Guate-
mala, with all its riches and 5000 fami
lies, was swallowed up. In Sicily and
Calabria, from 173S to 1856, the victims
reached total of $4,000. China's cap
i. ital was destroyed in 1888, and multi
tudes were killed in series of shocks
that were distributed through ten years.
And so on until the statistics become
sickening.
The great Lisbon earthquake of 177s
will be remembered as the one in which
the good DR.. johnson refused to be.
lieve, although he pinned his faith to
the story of the Cock lane ghost. This
shock extended over surface of the
globe four times greater than that of
Europe, destroying the cities of Fee and
Mesquirez in Morocco, with $4,000 per-
sons; and affecting the coasts of Green
land, the Isle of Madeira and the West
Indies, nearly 1000 miles away. In
Lisbon it was All-Saints' Day, the hour
of high mass, and all the churches were
crowded. There were three shocks, and
then the city was in ruins. The, earth
quake was followed by the horrors of a
confagration. r..~.-.
In the Caracas earthquake in 1879 the
people were praying, like those of Lis
bon, when the desolation came upon
them. 1t was Thursday of Holy Week,
and'great numbers were in thechurches.
At least 1900 people perished in the
downfall of the sacred edifices. One
cathedral only held out.-Notes and
Queries.

Individual Responsibility.

1t is the duty of conscientious women,
as it is of men, to express their views as
to the best methods of securing good
government; under our political system
this is done by the ballot. And this is
true of all moral questions, not because
all women are good, nor because all men
are bad, but because both have in
dividual responsibilities which neither
can shoulder for the other. For this
reason, if there were no other, women
should have full suffrage. Then, ifgone
woman prefers to use what influence
she may possess, to secure certain pollt-
ical results-either good or bad, the
principle is the same-and clinch 1T by
her own personal vote, she can do so. II
another prefers to take more time and
scatter her influence farther, the right
to do. so will still be hers.-Mrs. j. M.
Kellogg, Assistant Attorney General OF
Kansas. 8L

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites

however, has proved this to be a fact, and
the result of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.

Library Matters.

The Board of Directors of the Public
Library met yesterday morning, Presi'
dent Dobinson and Messrs. Jones, Davies
and Hanchette, present. The Librarian
was instructed to close the Library on
Memorial Day. 1t was decided that, for
the purpose of the Library, type-w writer
was necessary, and Messrs. Hanchette
and Davies were appointed committee
with power to act, in securing an instru-
ment that will write on catalogue cards.
The committee on removal of the Library
reported progress, and that it would be
possible to move on the 18th OF June into
the new City Hall. The committee was
instructed to act in the matter of procur-
ing several small articles of furniture
through the Building Committee OF the
City Council. Director Hanchette re-
ported that he had found and procured
an order for eight cases of books belong
ing to the Library which had been
stored in the city yards. The meeting
then adjourned.

| Sentence Suspended for a Few
Days.
Charles and Maud Mccormick ap
peared in Justice Austin's court yester
day, to prosecute the fight as long af
possible against the punishment which
the law would put upon them. They
have been found guilty, by jury, oi
keeping house Of ill fame. Yesterday
morning was the time set for their SEN
tence, and they appeared in court with
their attorney. The latter made mo.
ton for new trial and an arrest of judg-
ment, on account of errors of the Court
on questions OF law, that the verdict was
contrary to the law and the evidence,
that the instructions were erroneous,
and, lastly, that the complaint was de-
fective in that it alleged separate Of
fense for every day in the year.
The motion was denied and the de-
fendant excepted.
The attorney for the defense then
moved that the sentence be suspended
for ten days, to give time to prepare
bill of exceptions. This was also denied,
with an exception by the defense.
Sentence was then delivered. Charles
Mccormick was then fined $500, in de.
fault of which he must go to jail for a
similar number of days, and his wife
Maud was fined $500. with similar pro-
vision as to the time in the County Jail.
The defendant filed notice of appeal in
support of motion for certificate of
probable cause of appeal and stay of ex-
ecution of sentence. The motion was
denied as to certificate of probable cause,
but on the renewal of the motion to ad-
NIT to bail pending stay of execution it
was allowed and the defendants deposited
$500 in the keeping of the Court.

-
stock.
The canvassers for subscriptions to the
stock of the Industrial Exposition, who
have been at work pretty steadily dur
ing the past week, are meeting with
good success. The figures OF the exact
amount raised are not yet ready to be
given to the public. None of the mer-
chants who have been approached, even
the smaller retail dealers, are willing to
be left off OF the subscription list, and the
wholesale men and larger firms are COM
ing forward literally. 1t is, however,
work which cannot be accomplished very
rapidly, and it may be some time yet be-
fore the entire amount is raised. People
ask for time to make up their minds,
and many large subscriptions have been
held in allegiance until the matter can be
more thoroughly discussed. The work
OF canvassing has not been done by the
directors alone, but also by a number
OF prominent business men who have
interested themselves in the undertake
ing. A number of good propositions
have been offered in the matter OF the
site for the building, but no one has
been accepted. The directors propose,
If possible, to raise the greater part OF
the $250,000 without any arrangement
being made in the matter of the site,
other than the statement that the build
ing will be located near the center OF
town. Wherever the undertaking rests
on the substantial basis of good SUBJ
scription to the stock, then the location
will be fixed upon, and as much money
raised, as is possible, from the property
owners who will enjoy the benefit OF q
