rick, (Latah county, Advertiser.
1t has large membership in every
school district in the county and it
is thoroughly organized. Its adj
herents are composed Of former
democrats and republicans in about
equal numbers and it is sapping
the strength of one about as much
as the other. The democrats here
tofore in the minority will be SO
completely handicapped by the
third party that it has no hope Of
carrying a county ticket this fall.
The real contest in Latah county
will be between the republicans
and farmers alliance and indus
trial union or the third party as it
is usually called. In the towns
and among the Swedes and Nor
wegiens the republican party is
strong, but in the agricultural dis
tricts the alliance party has almost
entirely wiped out both republi-

the State attracts attention. In fact, IL
Is least in politics that it is known

What is the most talked Of regarding
Rhode Island is its tremendous manufac

Some states have had resignations from
their boards, and some have had more or

but the Rhode Island board has not had
the slightest trouble, and not a single

members of the board have worked in
the most perfect harmony.
Executive Commissioner Wyman has
from the start used his efforts with the
utmost success to secure EXHIBITS from
the various Industries of the state, in
Guiding cotton, woolen, machinery of all

said o-day that all or nearly all of the

last evening at the Bill Street Chapel on

titled Itself Where 1t Has Been Tried ?"
Miss Blackwell was introduced as the
daughter OF Lucy Stone, editor OF the
Woman's Journal. The speaker began
by saying IL was embarrassing To be in
troduced as the daughter OF her mother.
1t made her think Of an insignificant lit
tie man who loudly proclaimed himself
to be a lineal descendant of the celebra-
ted Captain Miles Standish, much to the
disgust OF certain person who replied to
the little man once, when he became too
much of a bore, You arei Well, what
a descent" Sne thought that she was
glad that she had the good fortune to be
her mothers daughter, but she would

Miss Black well then took up the argu-
ments advanced against woman suffrage
aud picked them all to pieces. She de-
cided that woman suffrage had justified
itself where IL had been tried and even
il il had been otherwise the cause was so
obviously just that IL had vindicated it
self.
At the conclusion OF her address a
young man arose and said that once he
was blind but now he could see for he
mad been won over TO the belief that
woman suffrage is right.
His announcement was hailed with
joy.

"A Winters Tale" Discussed at Brown
University Last Evening.
The last in the series of popular lee
lures on Shakspere by Prof. Winchester
at Sayles Memorial Hall, Brown Univer-
sity, was given last evening. The sub.
ject Of the lecture last evening was the
winters Tale" aud the lecturer spoke
in brief AS follows:
"Shakspere's last plays are in great
many respects entirely unlike anything
else OF his work, aud it is apparent that
they grew out OF the dignified calm aud
domestic peace of his later years. The
great questions of life are solved or put
one side MS insoluble; the great passions
are Gained. aud the plays end in some
kind of reconciliation and peace. Yet
they are not comedies, for the humor is
grave and wise and sometimes delight
fully roguish, but no longer obtrusive
They may be best called romances
rather than tragedies or comedies
inasmuch as the plays are based on some
romantic tale. Yet, still, the temper is
hardly romantic, there is a mellow feel
ing about them and the brightness OF the
early imagination is toned into the more
subdued hues of reality"
At the close Of the lecture an In nformal
reception was rendered TO Prof. Win
chester by the English department of the
