Mary II. Kraut. in her weekly contribu-
ton to The Woman's Kingdom" of the
Chicago Inter Ocean of recent date, has the
following on the subject of registration by
women of that city:
Among other encouraging features in the
recent registration of the WON en- in Chicago
was the interest manifested by the men. A
very large majority Of the women we're
married, and with few exceptions the hus-
bands constituted themselves their political

in the way and insisting that they should
exercise the rights which had been con-
ferred upon them. One man came in from

himself at the dinner-table and asked his

household matters had run smooth. but
"Will you register in the morning ?"
said:
&c l wish you would. l will take the time
and 60 with you" She promised to do her
political duty, and the dinner progressed
pleasantly TO its close.
A number of men went to the place of
registration. and finding that their wives
would be permitted to register, went home
and hurried back with them to the polling
places. An eminent Judge who had been
taking an active interest in the contest took
his invalid wife in a carriage and then car

"Rosecliff,' for so many years the home

Rosecliff, an appropriate name, indeed,
was the summer home of the late Mr.. Ban

means of adding to Newport's prominence
as the great American summer resort. The
place was pointed ont with pride by the
hackmen. by the visitors and by the towns
people as the home of gentleman who was
SO favoraby known in America as well as
ill other lands.
Even the school-children could direct YOU
to the place. They knew that Mr.. Ban

of hours daily to his great literary work.
and they hoped some day to have the pleas

added literary fame at least to Newport,
and future generations will not lose sight of
the fact that he spent so many pleasant
years within SIGHT and sound of the waves,
the spray of which often reached his
famous rose bushes.

EQUESTRIAN
STATUARY.
Monuments Erected to Great Soldiers Of
the United Statgs
In Lasting Bronze and Stone Stand Images
Of Generals Thomas, Mcpherson, Grant,
Mcclellan, Sheridan and Meade.

In recent issue of the American ArchI-
tect and Building News" there is published
lengthy article relative to the equestrian
statues that have been erected to the great
soldiers Of the United States. From this the
following extracts are taken:
To General Thomas was erected at Wash
ington one of the first of the third series of
equestrian statues which this country can
boast. In 1874 the Society of the Army of
the Cumberland engaged J. Q. A. Ward, at
that time without question the leading
sculptor IN the country, to carry out their
wishes, and, after a shorter delay tina n
usual. the statue was unveiled on December
70, 1879, on that spot in Washington now
known as Thomas circle, where in 1865
salute of 500 guns was fired in rejoicing over
the fall of Richmond.
The statue which cost the society $50, 900,
and the Government, who provided the
pedestal-designed by the architects, Smith
meyer Il PelZ-S25, 900 more, Is by many
thought to be the best group of its class in
the city. In some ways it is, but it has not
the artistic possibilities which are seen to
lie in Browns statues of General Scatt and
General Green. The rather ford pedestal,
which Is quite in keeping with the pic
torial character of the groups. is of Viz
GINA granite and implanted upon it are
bronze badges of the Army OF the Cum
berand; it is sixteen feet high, that is, of
equal height with the bronze group it up
holds. The pose of Thomas horse. which
stands upon all fours, is animated success
full and so individual in character that it is
matter for regret that at SO short a distance
from it as Philadelphia there will soon be
another bronze horse which closely parallels
lis air and action. This horse is the one

Guilty device, consisting essentially of
continuous recording surface, has been in
vented>and patented by Messrs. Oxley and
Cole of Boston.
In this machine the record is made on a
continuous ribbon, the upper surface of
which is coated with q thin film of wax
composition; thus the thick cylinder is en-
tirely done away with. The advantages to
be derived from the use of ribbon In place
OF cylinder as recording medium are
many. Ii Is safe TO say that tho use of q
ribbon allows OF greater simplicity of con-
struction than Is possible where a cylinder
is employed The use of the cylinder ne
cessitates both circular and linear motion
relatively between the stylus and recording
medium; whereas with the ribbon linear
motion only is necessary.
The recording ribbon Is lighter and less
bulky than the cylinder; it is, therefore.
preferable for transportation by mail or
otherwise. II allows of a longer con-
tinuous record (what is meant by
continuous record is record neces-
stating comparatively long time for its
delivery, such as a lecture, speech or
musical performance) than is practicable
with single cylinder. In taking a long
record with cylinders the machine must DO

one substituted. which necessitates read

time and causing loss of record. The ma

consequently during that time part of the

their wives and daughters to the meetings,

Judges refused to allow his wife to register
he would bring suit asking damages in the
