Mrs Zerelda G. Wallace "the mother
of Ben Hur," lectured not long ago in
Detroit, Mich. While there, she was in
terviewed by representative of the De-
troit Free Press, who asked her whatshe
thought of the political situation. Mrs.
Wallace said:
There is one last resort want to see
we'll tried in this country and that is the
enfranchisement of women. With tho
women of this country exercising the
right to cast their ballots would be pro-
duced at once large majority on the
side of intelligence, culture and moral
ity. With women voting in the South
ern States, the white vote in that sec
tion would exceed the colored vote by a
very large majority. Upon women is
laid the responsibility of our country's
moral condition. That woman is the
conservator of public morals means less
than half what it should signify until
woman has the privilege of exercising
the right to vote"
"Do you believe that your last re-
sort will ever be applied in this coun-
try2"

speaking, since mans right to govern

Life In Ocean Ahvsses.

DR.. Regnard has raised the question
as to whether corpse which sinks to a
very great depth is preserved indefin-
itely or otherwise from putrefaction.
According to his researches, published
in the archives of the Biological Society
of Paris, putrefaction does not take
place in decomposable substances sub
mitted to pressure of 500 or 700 at
mospheres. These figures correspond
to depth of 5000 or 1000 meters at
sea. From these experiments it must
not be concluded. according to DR..
Regnard, that there is total absence
of putrefaction in the greater depths of
the sea. The curious ''abysmaP fishes
discovered in the Challenger and other
expeditions appear to rise after death,
so that they are sometimes found on
the surface, though, as rule, they 60 tc
pieces, as the surrounding pressure di.
minishes long before they reach the air
Still, there is no proof that bathybial oI
abysmal heterogeneous do not exist
and, il so, they could cause decomposi
ton in the corpses of men as we'll as in
the dead bodies Of abysmal fishes. The
question is of considerable medico-lega
and yet greater biological interest, anC
it is far from settled. British Medica
journal.

run in debt, thus imposing taxes upon
women after tho manner OF George III.
upon the colonies, giving the women no
choice in the matter.
Questions of great interest to women
were often before the Legislature, but
how powerless women were! Not
woman was a member. Not single
Senator or Representative had been
elected by women. Among others that
came up was tho divorce question,
whether the person against whom a
divorce was granted may marry again
within two years, or whether neither
may marry during the life Of the other.
No woman had voice or vote in the mat
ter.
In spite of the great need, the House
Judiciary Committee reported 1T 'lneX-
pedient to create board for the regis
tration of medical degrees, or State
board of medical registration. AT the
same time, DR.. G. d. Blair was under ar
rest in Moorfeld, Neb., charged with
manslaughter, for horribly mutilating
woman whom he was called to attend.
The curse of medical ignoramuses is
everywhere. But the people got no pro-
lection,
There was a bill concerning the rights
of husband in the real estate of his
deceased wife. But no wife could be
heard in the matter.
A bill was passed to prohibit women
from working as many hours as men do
in factories. The women may need the
pay for the extra two hours, but the law
shuts her away from work, whether She
will or no.
One member proposed bill that when
wife dies leaving a child by her first
husband, If the second husband will
adopt the child, he shall have the use of
the whole of the wife's real property as
long as he lives. In that case the mother
less child might never receive any OF 1T.
But, to the credit Of the Senate, this
proposal was voted down.
1t is pleasant to close this article with
that good fact, and also to express the
thankfulness which many grateful wom-
en- feel to the members of the House
who spoke and voted for the bill to Sc
cure municipal suffrage for women.

THE Hon. Bernard Roleridge, NJ. p,

If it were anywhere the custom to dis
