IL Is pleasing news to learn
that Postmaster General Wans-
makers experiment of extending
the free delivery of mail matter to
small towns Is likely to prove sue
cessful. At some of the places
where the experimental service is

than enough to meet the increased

Death Of Emma Abbott.

/ That dear sweet little woman,
Emma Abbot, died at Salt Lake,
Jan. ).
L am glad I wrote my send of
about her about a month ago.
She was one of the brightest
women ] ever talked to, and her
own life as we'll as her famous
reprimand of the minister at
, Nashville, is a just rebuke of the
wholesale reflection made by some
good, but mistaken people, on the
women ofthe drama.
A week before we heard of her
death We read of her singing, by
request, at the bedside of a dying
man in Chicago. Her last words
were: II am not afraid to de-"
When she gets up among the
angels, and she sings them that
"Moon Song with the flute
accompaniment in "Mikado,"
they will have to hump them
selves on their harps to give the
little dica a pointer on music.
When 1 told you all, in talking
about her in the Blade not long
ago, about her setting me down
in her trunk of Japanese velvet
gowns in the green room, in a
peck Of diamonds, l knew you
all would say l was EARNING, but
her estate is valued at 100000
of dollars and I could have
hooked more diamonds than any
woman in this town has, and she
wouldn't have missed them.
Sorry l didn't.
She was grand little woman
Peace to her ashes.

| Dear sir:
| Enclosed | send YOU list O

| and also a list of 'non-Prohibi
! tionists for sample copies of the
Blade" / have been Intending
to send you these names for quite
a while, and your notice last week
concerning sample copies stirred
me up to the point. The last
named list is composed of the
names of gentlemen who know a
good thing when they see it, and
hope you may be able to secure
quite number of subscribers
from the two.
Say, / do wish you could be
convinced that you have been
sucked in" by Woman's SUI
frage, as well by the Farmers
Alliance. | was not convinced
OF it until since the Louisville
Conference, but I am now fully
persuaded that it is hindrance
to our party, and should be re-
moved from our platform. This
Is the only reason that | now OPP
pose it, aud it is not because am
really opposed to Woman's Suf-
TRACE.
Suppose you count up the num-
Der of men who have Joined our
party solely because OF the Suf-
irage plank, and then count ND
the number Of men who have
LETT the party for that reason to
say nothing of those who have
been kept from joining iO, and
see on which side the balance
falls. I
One Of the great points urged |
IN favor OF Woman's Suffrage is,
that II we can get for the women .
the privilege OF voting, we will
very soon be able to carry Pro- >
hlbition, but in this the fact is lost
sight OF that the women cannot |
vote now, and this privilege can
only be given them by the men.
and it is not at all likely that they
will do this very soon.
The Prohibition party is an ex-
cellent thing for the Womau's
Suffrngists, but the latter is very
poor thing for the former, and as
[ joined the Prohibition party
for the sake of Prohibition, hate
to see it hampered by anything
else.
Wishing you a happy New
\ ear, and also a prosperous one,

What Vertigo Comes From.

One Of TIE principal causes CT the
more serious forms CT vertigo. or dizzi-
ness. is a diseased condition Of the in
most portion Of the ear. the labyrinth
Vertigo Ct greater or less severity may
result from whatever disturbs the blood
pressure, either within the labyrinth or
il the middle ear. Similar effects are
also produced by false impressions re-
ceived through the eye, or through the
sense Of touch, and By disease Of the
spinal cord
Since the great nerve which goes to
the stomach is at its cerebral center init
mately associated with the auditory
nerve, disturbance of the stomach may
cause the vertigo, and on the other hand,
disturbance of the auditory nerve may
occasion nausea or vomiting. Vertigo
is sometimes brought on by paralysis Of
single muscle of the eye, or even by
ocular muscle.
The form Of vertigo now known as
'Meniere's disease" is that form which
the famous Dean Swift suffered, and
under which he often appeared like a
staggering drunkard The patient on
rising in the morning feels as if the
room were whirling round, or as if he
were floating or sinking. Sometimes be
falls when attacked, but be never loses
consciousness There are noises-eome-
times quite loud-in the ear ard more
or less deafness. There may be also
faintness and vomiting. The attacks in

Individual resistance to contagion Is
none the less remarkable. A physician
or nurse will be brought into the most
intimate contact with case Of contagi-
GUS disease without contracting it, while
the same patient may communicate it to
a person passing him in the street, in the
early stages of his trouble, before it has
developed sufficiently to cause any
alarm. We have known Of . most ma
