that one afternoon, as the songstress was
departing from the city, That Herr
mann passed by her carriage, when was
being ferried over on the Oakland boat.
She was accompanied by the eccentric
Arditti whose delightful music
has won him foremost rank among
impressarios. While the magician

TIE NEW ELECTION LAW.

In one particular at least, the eiector-
al campaigns which are to be fought
this fall i'm West Virginia will be under
new conditions. The extra session of
tine legislature passed bill last winter
broadly prohibiting the use of money in
any form. The features of this act are
So sweeping and comprehensive that
they are worthy of careful
study by all citizens Political
workers may find that the devices
which were once SosucceSsful to beguile
the cuterprising voter. will beguilc them
now into peuitcutiary berth instead Of
q political position. In some respects,
it appears that the trainers of the bill
have oyerreached themselves, and while
striving TO check corruption, they have
created law which hampers legitimate
political labor. Following will be found
the main features of the new law i'm
