 The women voted for school commis- sioners in district E recently. reporter stepped in and asked few questions as to how the ladies managed it. The first lady the reporter questioned startled him with the reply:
 ''oh, have we go: to tell everybody how we voter
 ''Oh, no; certainly not. wouldn't have you tell me for the world. Its against the lsw," said the reporter
 ''Oh, well, then, I don't care who knows how vote," and with that the lady un- rolled small bundle of paper and cau- though it had been folded up and pressed out with hot fiat-iron.
 There it is, " and she held up triumph sntly before the reporters eyes a ticket with John R Joslyn's name on il.
 "Why do you vote for himI' asked the reporter.
 "Well, don't know"
 "PerhRps it is because he is better look ing than Dr. Parke, in your es;imationF'

 "No, that isn't it either. Mrs. - said she was going to vote for MT. Joslyn be cause his family lived near hers, and l thought would, foo"
 The lady then carefully arranged her hat, took the ballot in her hand a- dainfily as if she were picking "A bon bon out of box, and handed il to the teller Next came a lady who was in a hurry. and said she had Ia vote right away sO she could hurry back home to get supper. A lady in a hurry is daDgrTous thing Io modest or oppose, and all the men down in district No. I seem to agree on tnst point They all made way for her without saying a word, and she handed in her ballot and got away so quickly that she was nearly home by the time the teller had shouted ont, ''Name, please.' The next woman was rFadv with her name and gave il simultaneously with her ballot.
 "Number, pleaset'' asked the teller. ''oh, now y"u are just like those horrid | telephone girls. Every time any one rings the bell they shout cut, Number, please" have just got good mind not to tell you"

 One thing that rather nOnplnssed the tellers was a woman who gave her nsme Rs So-and-so, and the very next one gave the same name and same Addrcss. IL was evil dent, however, that the tsllers didn't want to get into any argument over il, and they took the ballot and deposited it without asking any questions. One thing noticeable was that ibe wo- men all come in cliques, usually six or l eight together, and they all lived neigh bors- The way one voted they all voted. The majority of the women held their bal lots wide open, although once in a while one would be found folded up to the smallness of postage stamp.

AN ENGLISH GHOST STORY.
A Strange Tale Of a Spectral Funeral Cortege al K notty Ash.
 From the Philadelphia Item

A strange IaIe oI spcCtTat
 Cortege al Kuotty Ash.
 From the Philadelphia Item.l
 l was proceeding leisurely on foot to Broadgreen. when, on passing ths church at Knotty Ash, my attention was sud denly arrested by the strange and uncanny appearance of its graveyards. The time was then shortly after midnight. The whole burying ground seemed alive and glistening with thousand small bluish lights, which appeared to creep in and out of the different graves, as if the departed spirits were taking a midnight ramble. I stood petrifed, not knowing what to make of it, at the same time experiencing feel ing of horror which suddenly took pos session of me.
 Just at this moment the moon, which had hitherto been more or less obscured by a moving panorama of passsng clouds, came, as it would seem, to my assistance, giving me for a very short time the benfit of her companionship. And now appeared the most startling phenomenon of all, a phenomenon which caused my hair to stand on end with fright, cold numbness of horror paralyzing me in every limb, for, advancing up the road directly opposite to me, came funeral train, the coffin borne along with measured tread, covered up with an immense black pail, which futter- ed up in the midnight wind.
 At first thought I must surely be dreaming, and therefore pinched myself in the arm to ascertain if this were really the case But no, certainly was not, for distinctly felt the nip, and was therefore satisfied as to my wakefulness. What could it all meant asked myself ss the cortege gradually approached me, and l began to distinguish the general outlines of the bearers. These appeared to be elder ly men and to have lived in bygone age. All were dressed in the costume of the latter part of the eighteenth century.
 They wore .ie-wigs, and some had swords, as well as walking sticks, mounted

ssDOC.o WATTS, P. F. c. AND P.

" "A H os "A N1
 One doesn't have to go far in this queer world to find something surprising and totally at variance with what has seemed probable. For instance, nobody acquainted with Pullman car porters would think of looking upon any one of them as real philanthrophist. Yet it appears that there is a Pullman car porter of most philan- throphic heart and action. His name is Lewis Watts, and he is known on the cars as ''Doc." Watts. He has been for seven years on the Pennsylvania road. He had attended the Atlanta university and thus appreciated the need there was for educs- ting young colored children. He gave up attendance at the university to secure for his sister 8 chance of education through lis earnings. Beyond what he requires for the necessities of life, he has sent to his sister, Mrs. Dinah Watts Pace. Mrs. Pace began teaching in a church in Gov ington, Georgia. Then, with her brothers assistance, she rented a small house of two rooms, and at present owns a lot 200 by 150 feet, on which are four buildings. She has now an average attendance of 100 scholars a year, and employs an assistant. Doe" says: 1T spend all my spare time in New York buying what, books my sister needs. I get them second hand, and they cost almost nothing. I've started a sort of library, and we loan and give away a good many books. I didn't use to be- lieve in novels, but I send them & good many now, such as Ben Hur" and "The Fair God" MT. Watts reads good deal His private library consists mostly of books on historical and chronological sub jects. He is making particular study of the negro race.
 We do not know how this Pullman car porter treats those who travel on his cars, but he is certainly a unique member of bio frada

wearing the present heavy robes worn by
 bishops in summer. "In my diocese" he
 says, 'I find it necessary to make regular
 and continuous visitations in the months of August and September. And as our services are generally held about midday. it is often most oppressivsly warm for a few hours, even in our elevated mountain districts. have frequently found it the case that one single service has so drenched and stained the white lawn sleeves that they became utterly unpresentable and wholly unfit to be used again. And, when continuing visitation from day to day, what opportunity can be found forputting these robes in becoming conditioni Ger tainly we do need some authority for the adoption, at such times, of a light and fit- ting vestment, which will present digni- fled appearance, and not be open to the objection of a heavy and oppressive habit"
 Germany is doing some important mili- tary work all the time. The new gun car risges and cartridges for the German artil- lery will be ready for distribution among the troops next May. Eighteen hundred new workmen have been taken on the force of the Spsndau factories. The new guns, despite many previous reports to the contrary, will be cast steel. Their super for toughness as compared with bronze guns led to the decision in their favor. Repeated tests of the two metals by Ger man artillery officers during the last four teen months have shown that in bronze cannon cracks appear usually upon the 900th shot, while cast steel cannon remain whole until the 7,000th or s,00Oth shot. Cast steel cannon that have been in use in the German artillery since 1873 and have delivered 2,O00- 8, GOO shots each, have been found upon careful examination to be al- most as good as new. The calibre of the new guns will be S'8 centimetres.
 Paris doesn't intend to go hungry if she has to stand another siege. The matter is being studied by special technical com mittee, under the presidency of General Delambre. This body has been occupied for some time with the consideration of the best means for providing the capital with enormous quantities of frozen meat, in order to avoid the necessity of introducing cattle into the besieged area, which would entail the provision of a suitable supply of fodder. The committee has decided to construct in the abattoirs at La Villette a friezing- chamber which, at temperature of 14' Fahrenheit, will congesl ten tons of beef per day. This apparatus will serve as a model for the construction of others. In addition to this the authorities have planned series of storehouses in which the temperature will remain permanently at PA Fahrenheit, and which will have capacity of 2,00O cubic yards each for keeping the requisite supplies of meat. In time of peace these warehouses will be utilized by civilian butchers.

The Pope's Beverages.


 The pope's health is reported to be much improved since he commenced to drink goats milk-a hint for the weak ss well as for the faithful. The animal is chained on plot of grass in the gardens of the vatican. In addition to this milk his holi- ness drinks much beef tea. This is the only beverage served to the cardinals who may be working with him. At dinner two glasses of claret, the produce of little vineyard attached to the convent of St. Anne, in the Medoc, whose barrel of wine is annually forwarded to the yaticAn-noi that the cellars of the latter are empty.

Clad in natures garb, plus the pumpkin, I waded Out, but the ducks perversely refused 10 act their part as set down in the play.

CHILI,S APOLOGY.

CHILs'S APOLOGH. Chili's apology was laid before congress yesterday, and if anybody in this country wants anything more polite and regretful he must be hard to satisfy. Chili says that by way of showing the sincerity of its feel ing and the confidence which it has in the justice of it's cause, it declares its willing ness not to await the decision of the ex- amining judge, and proposes to the United States government that the case be sub- mitted to the consideration of the supreme court of justice at Washington to the end that that high tribunal with it's learning and impartiality, may determine without appeal whether there is any ground for reparation and in what shape it should be made. Concerning the MT. Matta's offensive dispatch Chili deplores that in it there were expressions which are offensive to this gov ernment, and absolutely withdraws the expressions, and hopes that the people of the United States will understand that the people of Chili feel very friendly toward them. And in regard to Minister Egan, Chili says that it will take no positive step without the accord of the government of the United States, with which it desires to maintain itself in friendly understand ing. And Chili further cherishes the con- viction that the relations with the govern ment of the United States should be sin cerely and cordially maintained under the shelter of that mutual respect and that good understanding which are based upon the just and equitable appreciation of the facts, and on the appreciation to be given to the spontaneous declarations made on either side.
 This is decidedly "amp,e." If the United States can find it in its heart to be ugly with Chili after this it must have hard heart.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A cheering item comes from England to the effect that the grand total of charitable be4uests in England during the past year, excluding Baron Hirsch'o S10,000. 900 for Jewish emigration, was Sl5,000, ,000. as against s11, 800, 900 in 1890.
 "Yankee notions" are not yet popular in Virginia. A member of the legislature of that State has just tried to get bill con- sidered providing for female physicians in the States insane hospitals, but he was laughed to scorn on the ground that the. idea he advocated was one of the motions above referred to.
 Live geese are exported from Russia to Germany and Austria in very large num- bers. An export house of Warsaw in tends building special cars for the trans portation of geese directly to their places of destination if the railroad managers will grant them permission to run the cars. The ministry on roads of inter communication was notified of the pro- posal of that firm, and it's favorable de- cision is expected. The cars are to be constructed with appliances to change from the broad guage of the Russian lines to the narrow guage of the German roads with out loss of time
 Minister Egan, about whom there is so much talk just now, is thus described: A low-voiced, quiet-looking person of small statue, past fifty. with plenty of gray hairs in his close-trimmed, reddish-brown beard and hair, restless blue eyes and small hands and feet. Egan's career in Ireland, from the time he began as an errand boy in flour mill and rose to be managing director of the company, has been com pared to that of Andrew Carnegie in this country. Carnegie began life as a messen- ger boy in Pittsburg, of whoee iron indus tries he is now perhaps the most impor- tant parsonage. Mr. Egan is said to be still large owner in Dublin flour mill, a neatly dressed man witnal and a prohibi- tionist.
