harty, an old German farmer, had

THE SCHOOL ELECTIONS

An Exciting Election in New
Whatcom---A Long List
of Candidates
Director-E. S. McCord.
Clerk-Morris Jones.

Director-E. S. McCord.
Clerk-Morris Jones.
The above is the result of the liveliest
voting ever witnessed in this city at a
school election. Between the hours of
and o'clock p. m. 67S votes were
cast. 1t is seldom 50 much interest
can be infused into a school election to
fill offices without emoluments. Two
years ago but twenty-seven votes were
cast. Last year there were $50. a
large number of carriages with banners
decorated by the artistic hand of the
sign painter with the names of the
various candidates, were flying to and
fro as long as the polls were open. A
large number of ladies exercised their
privilege to vote during the afternoon.
About 40 votes were cast after
o'clock. The result of the vote was
counted rs as follows
Z. S. McCOrd, for director, ......... .52l
| ID. AlversOn .......... l5b
Morris Jones, for clerk k....t....429
Geo. ID. Bryan, .............2 .24S
Geo. A. DulitZ, " 4" ............. /
Mr.. Dulitz had withdrawn from the
race, which accounts for his light sup
port.
Although voting was lively it pro-
ceeded orderly and without exciting
personal animosities.
In New Whatcom the contest was
even more spirited than in Fairhaven
and the ladies, melted by the candi-
dacy of one of their sex, took a much
more active part in the voting. A
score or more of lady poll-workers, in
Guiding the most respected and best
known ladies of the city, guarded every
avenue to the ballot box.
The following candidates were voted
for:
For rdirectors-term of three years-A
Pancoast and f. CosgrOve; term OF two
years-R. 5. Bragg; term of one year
Mrs. f. II. Bacon and r. J. Anderson
For clerk-C. Il. c. Keith, ;. G.
Johnson,G. ;. Miller, John l.. Thomas
w. II. Sybert and +. Sturgeon.
The vote was heavy, the largest that
ever went into one ballot box in thu
county. The count was not completed
in time to get the result for this issu'

ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
SENATOR HILL BRANDS AN ABSURD
FALSEaOOD.
Blaine Is the Only Man Harrison and
His Friends Fear-Why Cleveland
Is Not in it.

New YORK, May 14.-A Washington
special quotes Senator David B. Hill as
follows:
"The statement that intend to sound
the alarm in the senate against the
present proneness of the Democratic
party towards an excessive expenditure
of the public funds is absurdly false.
"From what / have learned by keep
ing my ears open. l believe James G.
Blaine is the only man Harrison and his
friends fear. The fact of the matter is,
Tom Platt made great mistake by not
holding midwinter convention. Had
he done this, he could have had his own
way and had his delegates just where
he wanted them. 1t is now too late for
him to do anything against Harrison"
Referring to the sharp criticism upon
the omission of Grover Clevelands
name from the New York state mid
winter convention, Hill is quoted thus: {:
"Why, l should like to know, should
the convention have mentioned the
name Of Grover Cleveland? Conven-
tions of neither party have been in the
habit of dragging in outsiders in this
way. Why, so far as the reasonable
ness OF things goes, the convention
might as well have gone back few
years and commended the administra-
ton of Buchanan"

by wreath of lilies of the valley upon
his head and an immense bouquet in his
hands. Each man came with chap
eron, and many of them carried bouquets
sent by women who had invited them.
One of the bouquets, initiating the
pretty shower bouquet so popular during
the winter, was of small white turnips
fringed with parsley and white lil IONS.
Another was of beets bordered by ct
tuce leaves, and third was of head of
cabbage set in bouquet holder.
Men carried fans and wore large bows
Of ribbon with long streamers set just
below the collar at the back. The wom-
en- carried crush hats Of white silk AS
all things usual were reversed for this
frolic, the cotillon was led by the host

or go to supper unlimited. The favors
were most of them small musical in
struments, and included French horns,

Indians swindled by Horde of Raps-
cious Attorneys In Oklahoma.
OKLAHOMA CRY, o. T., May a.
Colonel Lee, one of General Miles's in
spectors, has completed his investiga-
tion into the complaints of the Arapahoe
and Cheyenne Indians that they were
robbed by numbers of attorneys in the
recent sale Of their lands to the govern
ment. From what can, be learned,
Colonel Lee carried back to Chicago
some startling facts, which, it is said,
will result in showing conclusively that
a coterie OF lawyers succeeded in getting
away with $67. 800 for doing nothing.
Lees report may be laid before con-
gress and an investigation ordered.
Each of the Indians examined de-
nounced the payment to attorneys as
robbery and swindle, and declared
thas they were imposed upon. The two
tribes are very much excited over the
affair, and the hotheaded ones talked of
going on the warpath. The Kiowas
and Sioux Indians are also excited over
the alleged steal. The Indians say if
redress is not given they will take their
revenge out of the white settlers.
CHICAGO, May 14.-General Miles is
not inclined to talk about Colonel Lees
investigation. He said Secretary Noble
sent him letter in which he stated
that the transaction of the attorneys
was legitimate, and their claims were
paid. An army officer. familiar with
the situation, said congressional in
vestigation would develop scandalous
state of affairs,

WOMEN AS ORATORS.
1t Is Chiefly Their Lack of Voice That
Handicaps Their Success.

It Is Chiefly Their Lack of Voice That
Handicaps Their Success.
It is not everybody who has yet grown
up to the idea that the female orator is
an essential part of the social fabric, and
vet we have her suddenly with us and
taking the prizes away from the sex that
has hitherto enjoyed practical monop-
oily of the oratorical arts and graces. 1t
is not worth while to question the pro-
priety of woman's appearance on the
platform. AS matter of fact she ap-
peared there some time ago, but as
speaker, hardly as an orator in the
proper sense. 1t has been several years
now since the sight of a woman as a
public speaker created even a ripple of
emotion. She has been presiding over
and addressing temperance meetings
and club gatherings, she has lectured to
public assemblies, she has made political
stump speeches, she has even preached
sermons-all without arousing excite
ment or serious opposition.
The fact is, women have "arrived"
and the people who are slow to adjust
themselves to the situation are at dis
advantage. 1t matters not whether pub
lie speaking is in their "sphere," women
are making public speeches when occa-
sion seems to call for them. Conven-
tionalities and traditions, authorities
and prejudices are all knocked in the
head, to be sure. Even st. Paul is dis
credited, but the women go serenely on
and it must be acknowledged that no
serious calamity has yet resulted. If
they want to talk out in meeting they
will talk, and it profits no man to say
them nay. On the contrary, there are
several reasons why they should be en-
couraged to excel.
If woman will address her fellow citi-
zens from the stage or the stump it is
better that she should do it acceptably.
Even the most ardent friends of ad-
vanced woman, those who have kept her
in sight in her rapid progress toward
emancipation, are obliged to confess
to frequent wish that she wouldn't
when she essays to electrify the multi
tude. She may be earnest and eloquent,
she may be witty and wise, but as
rule she cannot speak. Her voice gets
away from her, she is alternately shrill
and husky; she shrieks when she would
be emphatic; she whispers hoarsely
when she would persuade. Sensitive
and sympathetic members of the audi
ence incline to crawl under the benches.
She has, in short, a voice that was
trained by ancestry and early environ
ments to domestic uses, and has not
grown to the requirements of hall.
Henceforth this will be different. Col
leges recognize this lack and are pre-
pared to remedy it. If any female stu
dents show oratorical talent or are am
bilious to become spellbinders, oppor-
tunity shall be afforded them. The
woman of the future, and of tho near
future, who speaks in public ON the stage
may if she likes. be the Daniel Webster,
the Henry Ward Beecher or the Chaun-
cey M. Depew of her sex. Whether the
young woman who SO proudly bore the
oratorical pennon from the male contest
ants of other Indiana colleges recently
will choose to follow up her victory is
not yet known, but if she does she will
undoubtedly win renown.-Indianapolis
Journal.
