Mrs. Langtry,s Poor Taste,

Mrs. Langtry, despite the impression
made by her elegance of dress, some
times makes ridiculous and unpardon-
able errors in her strong desire to dis
play her jewelry. In a play called
"The Sorrows of Werther," produced
in London week or so ago, she played
the part of rustic maid, whose chief
work was to cut bread and butter and
unconcernedly see tho melancholy
Werther "borne before her on shut
ter"
The surprise of the audience, par
ticularly of one caustic dramatic critic,
was great when the actress, instead Of
appearing in the simple garb naturally
expected of such a character, came
forth and continued resplendent in dia-
monds and jewelry, not leaving out q
few gorgeous dresses. OF course the
critics slaughtered" the play.-Jewel-

Time for Women to Act.

Complaint is made that so many nails
project from the sidewalk in the bust
ness part of Olympia, and especially on
the way to the postoffice. that shoes are
worn out with great rapidity. This bit
of information will doubtless be reiished
by the shoe dealers, but it is quite evi-
dent that an indignation meeting will be
held for the purpose of condemning the
audacity of the aforesaid nails. A bright
young woman made pertinent sugges-
ton touching the subject:
1.-The ladies Of Olympia ought to take
the matter in hand like they did in Col
fax" she said. "The nails came up
through the sidewalks in such numbers
in that city that the ladies could not go
shopping. OF course they would not
stand that kind Of an arrangement for
any length of time, so they organized
banner brigade and went out on cru
sade against the nails. One bright moon
light night. when the city fathers were
holding high carnival over some trivial
matter. they took in the town and drove
all the ambitious nails back into their
proper places. would respectfully sug
gest that tho Olympia ladies attend to
the Olympia nails in like manner

Gepls,,in Prices.

The prices of sealskins have been much
disturbed by the Behring sea troubles,
and the restriction of the catch under
an international agreement sent up the
market rates from so to so per cent.
This great advance was succeeded by
such lowering of the demand that it
became impracticable to keep 1t up, and
prices gradually dropped down to more
reasonable figures. These goods not be,
ing articles of prime necessity are more
open to the effect of advanced prices
than are articles which people must con-
sumo.
There is no prospect Of any return to
such extremely high prices. as that
would again hurt the business. but from
indications the prices will be much
higher this winter than usual. Although
no art can supplanta natural production
like sealskin-although it owes all its
charm of color and texture to s.rt-there
is steady advance being made in man
ufactured tations.-Cloak Review.

A Novel Use for Cigar Ribbons.

"Have you any cigar ribbons?'
This question was asked by a well
dressed young woman in a down town
cigar store. The proprietor nodded,
walked to the rear of the store and re-
turned with dozen punches Of yellow
silk cigar ribbons. such as are used in
tying punches of twenty-five and fifty
cigars The customer selected bunch
of the longest which had encircled
"Reina Victoria Extras
"Have these been used on good cigarsT'
"Oh. yes; three for half"
"How much are they?'
"Four cents EACH"
"Well, will take fifty"
"These ribbons seem to be the latest
fad for society women" said the pro-
prietor after the young woman had de-
parted. "They make little mats for
cigar tables out of them. 1t takes about
$50 ribbons to crochet mat. Apart
from the fact that these mats look very
pretty, for the material used in these
ribbons is the best grade Of raw silk,
they are also valued according to the
class of cigars that they once encircled.
You see, it's quite thing to have
cigar mat made of ribbons originally
tied around $500 'perfectos. The young
man who gets mat of that sort looks
upon such an ornament as the most
valuable in his smoking room. Chi

Illinois Women Are Awake.

Illinois women are preparing to vote
at the coming school elections for all
officers except county superintendent
of schools. Mrs. Catharine Waugh Nc
Culloch, superintendent of legislative
work for the Illinois Equal Suffrage as
sociation, has sent the following letter
to the board of election commissioners:
GENTLEMENWhen you issue instructions to
judges and clerks of election concerning the
November election, will you instruct them es-
pecially to allow all women possessing tho
necessary qualifications to register and vote
for the three trustees Of the state university?
When the right of women to vote for the
county superintendent of schools was passed
Upon By the supreme court they decided that
the school suffrage law was unconstitutional
so far as it related to officers mentioned in the
constitution, but as to other officers not men-
toned they intimated that the law might be
good. The trustees of the state university are
school officers not mentioned in the constitu-
ton, and the supreme court has not declared
the school suffrage law unconstitutional as to
such officers.

WOMAN'S WORLD.
PARLIAMENTARY SUFFRAGE FOR NEW
ZEALAND WOMEN.

A Mothers Unequal struggie-BeIva Lock.
woods victory-A Bright Woman Ply.
sician--Novel Use for Cigar Ribbons.
Time for Women to Act.
1t seems certain now that the legis.
aative council of New Zealand has
passed the bill comforting the parlia-
mentary suffrage upon women, which
was sent up to them from the lower
house. This bill has twice been carried
in the popularity elected chamber, but
up to this time it has failed to pass the
council. Evidently the popular demand
has become too strong to be resisted.
The bill has passed, and only awaits the
signature of the governor, which there
seems little reason to doubt will be given.
J Avery unnecessary amendment to the
bill has been added by the council, that
women may vote without going to the
polls. Very likely this was proposed
with view to make it easier for women
to vote at home, if that is the way it is
intended that their voting shall be done.
But this is not stated. To us, who are
business and fully equal to its demands,
it seems odd enough that any such pro-
vision should have been suggested. 1t
certainly gives opportunity for endless
cheating. How is the woman who gives
her vote to another to cast for her to be
sure that he will put in the vote she
gave? These New Zealand legislators
have no doubt done what they thought
the best thing, but their action fur
nishes new proof that each class needs
to legislate for itself.
The passage of this bill is the great
event of the year. 1t opens large ter
ritory to equal political rights. While
the women here in the United States,
except in Wyoming, are still disfran-
chised, we rejoice with the women of
New Zealand and we congratulate them.
Their gain is the gain of all women.
The bill passed there will aid the women
Of every other country. The other Aus.
trAlian colonies are even now getting
ready to follow the good example of
New Zealand. Woman's Journal.

A Mother,s Uucoual STRUGGLE.

"Oh, Mrs. Harris. how can give them
up? 1t will break my heart. My poor
little darlings: they will never know a
mothers kindness or feel her love-"
Two golden haired baby girls, with
large blue eyes and faces that in sweet
ness resembled those of angels, were the
cause of the sad words. They were ut
tered by the mother, Mrs. Mary l.. Davis,
who was almost insane from grief, and
wept bitterly as she pressed the precious
forms to her heart. She had sought the
assistance of Police Matron Harris in
finding homes for the little ones. nc
longer able, because of i'll health, to
properly care for them. The sadness OF
forever parting from them had broken
the woman down.
Mrs. Davis lives at Arlington, Mo
Five years ago she met and fell in love
with Charles r. Davis, railroad man.
The marriage followed two months later.
The young couple went to housekeeping.
A year elapsed and the union was blessed
with a pretty baby girl. Two more
years, and the family was increased to
four by the arrival of another stranger,
also girl, equally pretty as the first.
When the cup of happiness seemed full
to the brim Davis contracted pneu-
monia. After an illness of several
weeks death came to his relief.
The widow returned to her former
home, and with the assistance of her
mother labored day and night to sup
port the two little girls. The burden
proved too great, and she broke down.
Unable longer to work, she decided to
have her little babies adopted by some
good family With that object in view
Mrs. Davis came to st. Louis and called
on Matron Harris. The two girls were
turned over to the Children's Home So
ciety, and will remain there until
adopted by some family. Mrs. Davis re-
turned to her home last night heart

Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood's Victory.


In the autumn of 1868 Belva A. Lock-
wood, who had then been a member of
the bar of the District of Columbia for
five years and in good standing, having
some business to transact requiring liti-
cation in Prince Georges county, Nd,
applied to Judge Magruder, sitting on
the bench at Marlboro, the shire town
of that county, for admission to the
bar, under the rule of comfy for the
admission of attorneys in the District
and in Maryland.
| Judge Magruder not only refused to
admit her, Notwithstanding her record
as an attorney and the eminent plea of
her counsel. but went little outside of
his judicial duty to make a speech to the
bar in general, and Mrs. Lockwood in
particular, in which he said among other
things, as he grew eloquent, "The seas
have their bounds and the eternal hills,
and the sphere of woman is at home
with her husband and children" and
closed his peroration with these memo
rable words, II pray God that the day
will never come when the women of
Maryland will be admitted to the bar"
On Tuesday, Oct. II, 1899, Mrs. Lock-
wood again had occasion to visit Marl.
boro Court House in a professional
way, and this time applied to Judge
Brooke, who has succeeded Judge Ma
gruder on that bench, her admission
being moved by j. B. Contee, Esq.,, of
that bar, and the lady was promptly ad-
mitted, Judge Brooke declaring that he
could not refuse her, as her papers
showed admission to the bar in Fred
erick county, Nd, in March. 1881.

case she was compelled to drop eleven
years ago.-Washington Post.
