sToCKMEN, ATTENTION.

Replying to the complaints of some OF
the stockmen of New Mexico, regarding
the long distance which their cattle have
to 90 for water, the New MEXICAN sug-
gests that they help themselves by sink
ing the tubular wells, which nave been
40 successful in the Texas Panhandle and
furnish such an excellent supply for stock
| at all seasons. A company or community
of stockmen, says the New MEXICAN,
might organize and contract Tor sinking
large number of wells, thereby securing
the result at very small outlay COM
pared with what one man could have
done it for. There's positively no dit
ticulty about finding the water; it lies
in abundance below the surface if only
the stockmen will "get together" and 60
after it.--Denver News.

Electricity and water Power

The utilization of water power for
electric purposes has just begun to be
regarded with the attention it deserves.
The returns OF the 1880 census gave
the number of water wheels in the
country as So, 404 representing a horse
power of 1,225, S79 or 1913 per cent of
the total power employed for industrial
purposes. An official calculation of the
horsepower obtainable from the rivers
and streams of this country shows it to
be over 1000, 900, and with the help of
electricity fully 5 per cent of this ought
to be utilized. In places like Roches-
ter, Kearney, Spokane Falls and Nj
agara Falls, we may shortly look for
immense developments Of power.
Colonel Whittemore, of the Government
arsenal at Rock Island, proposes to
transmit power electrically from forty
one wheels, the dam for which is now
being built. He will connect these
wheels directly with the dynamos and
carry the current to distant shops. N.

PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

General Boulanger is said to be
writing drama, with Robert Emmett
rs the central figure.
Senator John Sherman has been in
public life forty years. He wants to
stay there for the remainder of his life.
Julia Ward Howe's writing is very
difficult to read. Her literature goes to
the printer in writing wholly unshaded,
and with separate letters often twirled
and crushed out of shape.
p. T. Barnum has presented to the
public library of Bridgeport a scrap
book containing all the illustrations
and comments of the London papers on
his show while it was in that city.
James Carlyle, brother of Thomas
Carlyle, died in Scotland recently at
the age of eighty-fve; he was ten years
younger than Thomas, and is said to
to have resembled him greatly in APP
pearance and manner.
BY her will Mrs. Emily Pfeiffer,
the well-known English poet, who died
recently, bequeathes with the excep-
ton of a few legacies, the whole of her
personal estate of e63, 900 to charitable
and educational establishments for
women.
Tho Empress ofGermany is lineal
descendant of the last Norwegian King,
Hakan ", who died in 1919 Hakan
V. descended directly from Harold l.,
founder of Norway. 1t is because of
this that the Emperor of Germany has
determined to build palace in Nor
way.
'-Bellamy is accused of taking his
book, Looking Backward" from an
old German Author named Bebel, who
wrote novel on the same lines, en-
titled Woman, Present and Future"
Bellamy meets the charge with the
statement that he can not read German
and never heard of Bebel
1t is reported that Mrs. Will am II.
Vanderbilt and her son, Mr.. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, will erect at cost of
$3.50, 900, Peoples Palace" some
what after the plan offered by Mr..
Walter Besant in All Sorts and Condi-
tions of Men. The building will stand
at the corner of Forty-second street and
Third avenue, and will be devoted to
the use and recreation of the poor of
New York.
Isaac Pitman, the inventor of pho
biography, is hoary-haired man with
scholarly stoop, and still presides
over the Phonetic Institute, Bath, En-

he supervises a correspondence of thir-
ty thousand letters year, besides edit
ing the Phonetic Journal and compiling
the numerous books which he annually
publishes.

earning $4,000 by his pen, says that his
total revenue for 9-including royal
ties on six novels, magazine articles,
and every writing during the year-was
exactly 50, 40 40. PROBABLY not half a
dozen American writer's, who have no
regular salaried position, do better than
this. Living by ones pen, except as
book-keeper or journalist, is only an
other name for starvation.

SUFFRAGE SLIPS.

The census report of 1880 reported
less illiteracy in Wyoming than in any
other State or Territory in the Union.
Women had been voting in Wyoming for
over ten years at that date.
ONE lady in Columbus, Ca, returned
property to the tax-receiver, several
days ago, to the amount of Sl63,OOO. She
is not allowed to vote how much her
property shall be taxed nor in what
manner the tax shall be expended.
THERE was at Cheyenne, recently, an
imposing celebration of Wyoming's ad-
rade several miles long, consisting of
the State militia, civic societies, trade
displays, and the garrison of United
States troops from Fort Russell, march
ed through the principal streets to the
new capital building, where flag was
presented to the State by the women of
Wyoming, and there were other exer-
cises.
AT Highmore, S. D., Miss Anthony
gave very interesting address. The
Herald says: miss Anthony is deeply
interested in her life work and is we'll
informed on questions of politics and
especially on each point bearing on the
growth of suffrage legislation and senti.
ment. Few women of seventy years
could do the work she is doing. She
has not the sprightliness and variety OF
Rev. Anna Shaw, nor the repartee,
mirth and enthusiasm of Mrs. Cougar,
but her words are weighty, her points
well taken, and her cSndor and earnest
ness give her a forcefulness and a charm
which attract attention and solicit con-
viction."
Miss FLoRETTE VINING is one OF the

as she wished to call attention to the
discreditable condition of the public
cemetery. With two or three exceptions,
all the men present were merely poll
tax payers; but this woman, who bore
so large a share of the expense
of the town, had to ask permits
sion to speak in the town meeting, and
could only be allowed todoso as favor.
The whole thing was anomalous. and a

Progress in France.

The woman question has been brought
before the French Chamber of Deputies
by M. de Caste, Deputy for Finisterre.
M. de Caste is a hale old Briton OF
eighty-two years, who has been an ad'
yocate of equal rights for more than
forty years, and has taken up many UNI
popular causes. Most of them have
succeeded, and he believes that the
woman question will be victorious in
France, though not so soon as in the
United States and Great Britain. M. de
Caste proposes revision of the constitu-
ton as follows:
THAT the Senate be reduced from 800 TO 200,
and the Chamber to 400; that the seats in both
be equally given to men and women over forty;
that as in the United States no member OF the
Senate can I'LL any salaried public office; that
the President OF the Republic be elected for
five years by delegates of all electors, and be
replaced il he die, retire or go mad within his
term of office, by VicePresident; and that,
finally, women be eligible for the Presidency
or Vice Presidency -
