 TO NASHVILLE.
 It is not perhaps generally known that Nashville is situated on a direct air line due south Of Chicago, and from this city is best reached over what is known as the Evansville route. through line formed by the Chicago < Eastern Illinois, the Evansville & Terre Haute and the Louisville < Nashville railroads.
 A fast train leaves Chicago every day as 50 ?. m-, and reaches Nash. vile at ITO in the morning, thus making the run ia fifteen hours and twenty minutes. Coaches and Pull. man buffet sleeping cars run through to Nashville. Nashville is the gateway Co the south; passen. gers from Chicago by the Evansville route fast train connect at breakfast hour tn the Union depot at Nashville with through trains and sleeping cars to Montgomery. Mobile, New Orleans and Jacksonville. Fla. also making connections for Chatta- nooga, Atlanta. Augusta, Charles. ton, Savannah and other points in the southeast. to all of which the Evansville route is the most direct. The route is throughout interesting and in many places picturesque.

Prof. Goodwin Smith has written to
the London Times, begging England to
beware of woman suffrage, which, ac-
cording to him, has worked very badly

should make themselves acquainted
with the American experience. Woman
suffrage has been tried in Nebraska
(this will be news TO the Nebraskans)
and was abandoned there. II is still
under trial in one Territory, and the
result is a general refusal to try it else
where. The adverse verdict is the
more significant because an almos.
fatuous worship prevails in
1.-THE States" He prophesies that wom-
en- would not be conservative but radi-
cal, and declares that woman suffrage
would work more mischief than any
measure ever proposed by Mr.. Glad
stoue. This, from an ardent Tory, is
the utmost possible expression of dis
appreciation.
Nebraska has never had woman suf
frage. A municipal suffrage bill is
pending in its Legislature at the pres
ent time. In Wyoming, the lone
Territory where woman suffrage is still
under trial" a formidable phalanx OF
governors, judges and ecclesiastical
dignitaries testify TO its good effects,
and the advocates OF woman suffrage
have had standing challenge out for
years to its opponents to find two per-
sons in the whole Territory who will
assert, over their own names aud adj
dresses. that II has had any bad results
whatever. Prot. Goodwin Smith ought
TO acquaint himself with the American
experience. before no undertakes TO
acquaint others with it
Some years ago, another opponent,

a point against woman suffrage out Of
