THE poll-tax abolition amendment tc
the Constitution was defeated in Pennsyl.
vania by an enormous majority. The
general belief was that the people would
crush cut the tax. The result has aston,
ished the wiseacres. The cities voted very
heavily to abandon the tax; the rural sec
tions more decidedly to retain it. What
does this mean? Simply that the country
saw the opportunity to punish the city anC
defy the press, and improved it. For the
poll tax is really obnoxious in that and
other States where related to the voting
privilege as demonstrated by public mani
festations. 1t is esteemed also by many
as relic of the semi-barbaric; as sigr
of seryitude, originally Distinguishing
menials, slaves, and dependents But it i.
notorious that rural residents are forced t.
pay the tax, while great numbers of metro
politans escape it. Why then did the coun
try vote to retain the law? Thus far the
politicians and newspapers pretend to be able
to assign but one reason for the result
paying the tax is made perquisite to the
exercise of suffrage in Pennsylvania. II
the cities this is :he source of infinite cor
ruption, for political workers pay the tax
Of the constituencies voters to secure theil
support. But in the country this practic,
little prevails, and hence the sentiment
that this one tax reaches all and force:
some contribution to the support of the
government, triumphed. But how doe,
this verdict reflect upon the Pennsylvania
press? Not fatteringly, by any means
for since it was quite unanimous for repea
of the tax, it follows either that the rura
population did not read the papers, OF
reading, did not accept their statements O
fact, or their arguments against the tax
1t may serve to convince editors and pub
fishers that they are not nearly such i'm
portant factors in the formation of public
judgment as they are often given to es
TEEN themselves. The people are very
apt to 90 their own thinking.

THE Mayor of New York the other day
vetoed an order for a drinking fountain

THE Cincinnati police have been ordered
to seize all toy pistols and other firearms
in the possession of children, and dealers
are forbidden to sell them to minors.
Good Let the Trustees of Sacramento
enact a similar ordinance. 1t is as wise a
law as that which forbids indiscriminate
sale of poisons, or that which prohibits
sale of liquors to children.

WOMEN AS INVENTORS.

The first patent granted to a woman was
to Miss Mary keif, in the year 1900, for
weaving straw with silk or thread. The
next was fifteen years later, when Mary
Brush received a patent for corset. Two
years afterward Sophia Usher followed,
with cream of tartar carbonated liquid.
In 1922 Julia Phantom had foot-stove
patented. OF later years the entries in
the Patent Office at Washington have been
annual. In the half-century between
1S00-5S, precisely fifty patents were
granted to women. They are all en-
bodied in one page of the record. But
in the year 1858 the entries fill full
page; by 1868, three pages. The first
natl We patentee whose address is recorded
is Aydaleua S. Goodman, of Duval county,
Florida, in 1859, for improvement in
broom brushes. Up to the outbreak of
the civil war, she and one other were the
only Southern women who had thus dis
tinguished themselves. During the same
period New York had furnished fourteen
Massachusetts, four; Ohio, two; Maine,
| Connecticut, Indiana and New Jersey one
each.
These patents are by no means confined
to the domestic arts and conveniences, or
to the hygiene and adornment of the
female sex. In 1864, Mary Jane Mont
gomery, of New York, brought forward
her improved war vessel. In the same
year, 4 young woman from Michigan in
PRODUCED the improved lantern dinner-paiI
Miss Montgomery also devised an i'm
provement in locomotive wheels; and she
has many associates in railway inventions
even to an apparatus for destroying vegeta-
ton on railroads There is a woman in
Iowa, who, with a male partner, makes an
Improvement in cigars Another, in Phila-
delphia, invented moustache spoon. 4
! Boston woman contributes a trousers-tree
and another, an apparatus for killing mos
quitos There are devices for inducing
sleep, for restoring facial symmetry, for
exposing hair to the action of heated
vapors; and for every imaginable device
of the toilet, from breast-works to bustles,
from cosmetics to patent calves, from bangs
to corn plasters.

one hundred years old, will be appreciated
by many weary housekeepers:
Here lies a poor woman
Who always was tired,
For she lived in n house
Where help was not hired.
Her last words were: Friends,
Fare ye well: ! am going
To place where there's nothing
OF washing and sewing.
Then weep not, my friends,
When death shall us sever
For I'll have a good time
Doing nothing forever.
For everything there
Is exact to my wishes
Since where they don't eat
There's no washing of dishes.
The courts with sweet music
Are constantly ringing
Yet, having no voice,
l shall get rid of singing"
She folded her hands
With her latest eudeavor,
And Whispered, Sweet nothing
Oh nothing forever ="

A LIBEL.

A WOOdburian who was on the BaI-
fist excursion to Penn's Grave last
week has the following libel in this
weeks Constitution on our railroad.
s'GGing down we waited for the man
who run the ''thing that pulled the
cars" and his hand to pick blackberries.
The first named man swore. Maybe
he thought the Sunday-schoOl children
ought to hear something. Maybe he
thought we would not think him II
regular engineer il he did not swear.
You never would from the thing he
run. 1t worked like IN old dummy.
1t had got the asthma. 1t runs slow
across bridges. The danger is they
will decay before the airs get over.
The railroad folks must think water Ia
not healthy. They did not make us
sick with any. The conductor was aw.
full solemn. Maybe he is not well oil
has become dIsarranged. PENIS Grove
il a nice place. There is lots of trees
and places to buy things. We all liked
the mar at the picnic house. The pho
tographers have become discouraged.

III. Tor o,s..r,.r Climb of Philadel-

The Tam o'Shxnter Club OF Philadel-
phia, made its third annual excursion
to PENIS Grove last Saturday. They
are a iolly lot of Scotchm~n and have
more fun than any party that comes to
PENIS Grove. They had races for men
women, girls, and boys, also a sack
race, throwing the hammer and quot
pitching, with prizes for the best ard
second best in eacll contest. Two OF
the neil were dressed in the Highland
costume Of Scottish plaid skirts and
played some excellent music on the Dag
pipes. Several wore Tam o'shanter
hats.
1t is rumored MS coming from the Of
ficals of the Delaware River Railroad
that a railroad will soon be built be-
tween Woodbury. and Gloucester CITY
and the trains over the Delaware Rlv-
II Railroad will be iun through owe it
to Philadelphia. The Reading ana
Pennsylvania Railroads, it Is said, have
an agreement not to build parallel
lines to one another. To get around
the agreement outside parties will build
the road but the Reading road will OPP
crate it. This will give the people
along the Delaware River road better
accommodations and quicker time to
Philadelphia as there will then be no
change of cars.

THE WET WEATHER AND PRO.
DUCE.

Last Mondays Philadelphia Ledger
contained the following interesting re-
marks TN the truck markets.
"Truck raising in Jersey is not what
it used to be" remarked Il farmer from
that State in b. F. Ives produce place
Oh Dock street on saturday. "Up to
within IL few years we used to furnish
the Philadelphia and New York mark
cts with the first fruit and vegetables
OF the season and get good prices for
them. Now, with the heated cars in
winter and refrigerators and cold COM
partment cars in summer, fast freight
lines, low freights and swift steamers,
the products of the South are landed
here months before ours are ready for
market, and by The time our produce is
ripe the people are nearly satiated with
it,, and. coming in at the tail end, we
must take the lowest prices if We find Il
market for it at all"
One hundred carloads of Georgia
| water melons we've received in this
market last Monday. and an average of
| half "A dozen cars every day since. The
fruit is very fine, and sold readily at
frnm $40 10 S1S itr. hundred. A few
small Jersey melons made their appear
ance last week,
Canlrinnp from .Jersry continue
immature IN the main, but choice ones
u.uI he sold foi 81 IA basket, while the
price tur ordinary uies ranges from p
to 80 cents. 1t liz said that lice are
playing havoc with the vines.
The snrri-st looking tomatoes the
maj kpi has been supplied with for
years Were seen last week. The rain
soaked thrm. and the hot sun scalded
and cracked them, and the vines being
beaten down by the violence of the
storms, the fruit was well covered with
eartI,. They sold as low M 3 cents a
basket. and from that up to 10 cents,
eit!. choice ones for 20 cents. Crow
ers say that, with good weather for
the remainder of the season, good
crop of nie~rchantab!e tomatoes can yet
liz grown.
Mr.. Ives had a kt of white potators
in his place on saturday which had
been dug three feet under water. Vines
are reported to ba washed out h al
directions, and much Of the growing
crop is r0tting in the ground. The
price at present ~ not affected. the r IL
ing price being D. and 70 cents a bask'
ct. On the contrary, sweet potatoes
where the vines are not entirely wash
ed out, seem TO thrive with the damp
ness, and the crop so far promises t.
be good. They were worth rs cent
and 81 u basket. =
Onions, like white POTATOES, are rot
ting in the ground, and growers arr
rushing them into market in such large
quantities that prices are down IN $
and 81 80 a barrel, Just half the price
of u year ago. The supply OF greer
corn appears to be good, and it sell
from, Al IN IL rpnts n basket.
