A STORY OF WOMAN's RIGHTs.
A Distressing Political Difference Between
Lovers.
Albany Evening Journal. ]


! troubles Of an esteemed resident of this
city who neglected to vote the ticket
which had been prepared for him by
his careful wife. An even more dis
tressing case las come to light in Lima,
| Ohio.
Miss Mary Shull is an attractive
young woman of Lima, and the youth
Of that town have long been sensible of
her charms. Last spring, however,
Dehman managed to distance the other
suitors for her favor, and he and Miss
Shull became engaged. During the
summer the young man showed him
self to be attentive and devoted and, in
short, everything that lover should
be. While the roses bloomed Miss
Shull was envied by all her spinster
friends in Lima, and there was not an
acquaintance of Lehman who would
not willingly have traded shoes with
him.
But as autumn drew on aud the po-
litical campaign thickened there was a
noticeable change in the relation of the
pair. Miss Shull began to read the
newspapers, and she was unfortunate
enough to choose those Of Democratic
proclivities. Consequently she became
firmly convinced that the country was
going to smash at an early date unless
there should be a victorious rally
around the standard raised by Grover
Cleveland. She knew that Mr.. Leh-
men was a patriotic and ardent Repub-
lican, but this fact did not deter her,
during the very heart Of the campaign,
from attempting to convert him to free
trade.
She should have waited until after
the election.
Her lover listened and smiled, then
he listened and frowned, and, at last,
after listening again, he got up, took
his hat, and departed, saying that as
their political views were so radically
different it would be better to give up
all thought of closer alliance.
Had he been a Democra. and Miss
Shull political Prohibitionist the
thing might have been managed.
Miss Shull was at first surprised and
then indignant; her plan of conversion
had failed and there was nobody left to
whom she could adequately talk poll
tics. She therefore decided that, since
her lover refused to heed her advice, he
should smart for it; and she according
ly brought suit against him for breach
of promise. The court has awarded her
damages to the amount offs, 1000, which
Mr.. Lehman will have to pay, simply
because ne refused to smother his con-
science and abandon the principles of
his party.
Here seems to be an example of in
timidation beside which the iniquity OF
the pay envelope shows like a virtue.
What would be easier in a close district
than for a political committee to arrange
for hundred or two loaded engage
ments in order to coerce the young
voters of the opposite party into voting
| their way under the influence Of their
several finances? The fate Of State OF
even of the nation might be changed in
this manner. It appears that the Ohio
Legislature during the coming session
may proftably spend portion of its
time is passing law for the prevention
of interference or coercion of a political
nature between persons matrimonial
ly engaged. Such law should go into
effect Immediately.

will, passively and promptly. But un

will, passively and promptly. But un-
less mistake them very much, these
men will soon begin to do their own
thinking, to act on their own impulses,
to follow their own natural instincts
and judgment, to distrust, to question,
to examine for themselves, to ask all
the why's and wherefores. When they
do this will be as safe and good Legis-
lature as this State has ever had.

OUR LAWMAKERS.
One Hundred Members of Our Legislature
are Practical Farmers-A Solid Look
ing Assembly.

Editorial Letter in Greenville News.
COLUMBIA, Nov. 27.-I have devoted
part of the day to a perusal of the
sketches of the lives of Legislators pre-
pared and published on the opening
day of the session by the News and
Courier. Contemporary political biog-
raphy is always amusing. Before elec-
ton it reads so very much like chapters
from the criminal records and after
election its resemblance to the variety
of literature usually found on tomb
stones is tragic. "Speak only good Of
the dead" the Latin maxim tells US;
but we carry politeness further in our
day and in type speak only good Of the
living unless they happen to be candi-
dates or are trying to do something we
may prefer having left undone. And
it is polite, proper and decent Of the
biographers. Men and brethren, most
of US would no more have our biogra-
phies written with absolutely impartial
pens than we would be on more seemly
in one case than the other.
Yet the biographies furnished by our
excellent and enterprising contempora-
ry are valuable in giving many facts of
interest and importance the public just
now; and they confirm the impression
of the composition and character of the
present assembly already obtained from
inspection Of it.
One hundred and fifty-six of the 1852
Senators and Representatives are bio
graphically described. From these
statements I gather that 43 of the num-
Der are 50 years old and over. Senator
Meetze, of Lexington, is the oldest man
in either house, his age being given at
20. Representative Barkley, Of Char
lesion, is next, unless the types slander
him by giving the year of his birth as
1924, which makes him Sc years old,
although he doesn't look it, and next
to Senator Meetze. Ten other members
of both houses are 60 or over. Of the
43 men who have seen half a century
and more twelve only are Senators.
Five Senators are between thirty and
forty years old. Fourteen Representa-
tives are between twenty and thirty;
twenty-five are between thirty and
forty. The four youngest men in the
House are Mr.. Mooney, of Greenville,
IS; Mr.; Patton, of Columbia, 27; Mr..
Blease, Of Newberry, %: Mr.. Won
Kolnitz, of Charleston, p.

 LOUISVILLE, Ky, Feb. 27.-Drs. w. E. Grant and James T. Blackburn of the Ken- lucky School of Medicine and William Meaux, their colored assistant, who were held at New Albany charged with grave-robbing and conspiracy to commit felony, were re- leased on bail yesterday.

A GAMBLER SHOT.

Poker Players on a Western Train
 Create Excitement-Several Women
 Faint and Men Dodge Behind Seats.
 ST. LOUIS, Feb. 27.-Mark A. Barren, a Chicago gambler, was shot and dangerously wounded by Charles Hatfield of Henderson, Ky., on an Iron Mountain train near Dexter, Mo-, Tuesday night about 10 o'clock. Barren and companion, George Jones, also of Chicago, had engaged in game of poker with Hatfield and travelling man named Kellar. It was ''skin" game and Hatfield, who looked like farmer, but evidently was not, caught the idea after losing and started for Barren with an ugly looking revolver in his hand. He first struck Barren with the weapon, then shot him in the wrist and right breast, inaicting ugly and possibly fatal wounds. There was wild scene on the train. Women screamed and tainted and men dodged behind seats until the shooting was over. Without word, Hatfield turned when his revolver was emptied, and coolly walked into the next car. Barren was carried to Poplar Bluff, and when he reached there was unconscious from loss of blood. No effort was made to catch Hatfield, who left the train before it reached Poplar Bluff, it being evident that he was not to blame.

 WAsH1NaroN, Feb. 27.-The Dolph inves- tigation committee to-day continued its in- quiry into the methods by which proceed ings of executive sessions of the senate be- come public. Jules Guthridge of the New York Herald, A. J. Halford of the Asaoci- ated press, George Grantham Bain of the United press, M. G. Zeckendorf of the New York Tribune and Frank A.

He did not receive fvs-minute bulletins, nor any bulletins, but he had learned of the fact of his confirmation before leaving the capital.

Hope for His Recovery-Rest1nE Easy-
 Cable Messages of Sympathy.
 LONDON, Feb. 27.-Minister Lincoln states that the doctors say his son surprised all about him by not only surviving the night but by having sufficient strength this morn ing to permit the tapping operation being performed, which greatly relieved the heart and lungs from effusion. It was pronounced that this operation, because of the patients feeble condition, would be fatal, but 1t has at least temporarily reversed the hopeless condition of the patient. Additional meas ures were taken this afternoon to prevent a dangerous accumulation of pus. Another operation was performed which afforded great relief to the patient. A drain was in- serted in the affected part and the matter is now flowing from it freely. Though Master Lincoln is still in great danger, his physi. clans and parents are not without hope of bis recovery. He Is resting easy.
 In consequence of an erroneous report having been sent to the United States to the effect that MT. Lincoln's son was dead Q large number of cable messages of sympathy and condolenoe from the United States were re csived to-day by the minister and he requests us to express his own and Mrs. Lincoln's ap. preciation of go much kind regard and gooe | will
