lighted, well ventilated and well ap-
pointed, where womankind can have
freedom and comfort at a moderate
cost, and where climbing stairs-that
of woman's strength-sha4 give way to
the restfulness of an elevator.
It is peculiar fact that. while all
avenues of work and study have been
opened up to woman and she has dem
onstrated her ability to earn her own
living and take care Of herself, there
has never boon any cogn1zance of her
individuality, no place provided for her
to live.

entrances suggesting the luxuries with

men only" and. even the heightened
boarding houses imagine it adds to their
dignity to advertise gentlemen pro-
ferred."
What, then, is the business woman to
do? A single woman looking for de-
sirable quarters IN New York at pres
emit will have some very amusing as
well as annoying experiences. She
will find it hard to get into frst-class
house unless It is so late in tho season
that the landlady has no hope of secur-
ing another man, and she will not sell
dom find that she Is paying dollar or
two more by the week than did the
man occupying the room before her-to
cover gas used in crimping her hair,
extra service required of servants, etc.
A woman asking accommodation for
two will be met with tho utmost graz
ciousness until the landlady discovers
that the second party is not husband.
but another woman; then there is
crawfshing and finally fat statement
that she makes It a rule to take in 'only
families and gentlemen.
This sort Of thing leaves the woman
little choice and usually drives her into
an ordinary house where che must pay
eight, nine or ten dollars a week for
board and hall bedroom she can't turn
around in These hall bedrooms have
no means Of heat except from the halls
or by gas stove at one dollar q week
extra. Tho contest of them have a
mantel bed and two chairs, but it is OBJ
vious that 10 see callers in such quar-
tiers is out Of the question. 1t is not a
home in any sense Of the word.
Perhaps the woman rents square
room, furnished; here at least, she can
do as she pleases- But she Is compelled
to go out for her meals, In all states Of
health and weather. only bachelor
apartments have restaurants attached.
The only alternative is fat, at from
thirty to fifty dollars month, with
steam heat. and perhaps gas. In this
fiat there will be one light room, the
front one. It will glory in the posses
sion of two windows while the kitchen
in the rear will have but one, and the
rooms between none at all unless there
happens to be an air shaft or a sky
light. And, by the way, these make
shifts are advertised as light" rooms,
New York being built up so sobdly that
every inch Of light space is valuable in
proportion to the ground space.

William Edmond Curtis, who has
been appointed Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury, is a young lawyer OF
New York State who has boone
identified with the Cleveland element
in the Democratic party, and with the
"Anti-Snapper" movement in his
State.
Mr.. Curtis was born in New York
City in 1855. His father, William
Edmund Curtis, was, in 1871, during
the movement against the ring, elect
ed Judge of the New York Supreme
Court, and at the time of his death
was Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court.
The new Assistant Secretary began
his education at the Columbia Gram
mar School, was graduated with high
honors at Trinity College in 1875,
pursued his law studies in the Co
lumbia Law School, and was admit
ted to the bar on June 2, 1877. He
became member of the firm OF
Stearns Il Curtis.
His interest in politics dates back
to his law school days when he favor
ed The County Democracy, without
however, belonging to any organiza-
tion. lie interested himself deeply
in the last campaign. For seven
years he has been Secretary and 6
member Of the Board of Governors o!
the Young Mems Democratic Club o.
New York.

Vaccination Against Cholera.

Perhaps no other subject may be
considered OF such great general in
terest and Importance to the masses
of mankind, as that which involves
the efficacy of preventative, there
being no cure, against the probable
spread OF the dread cholera scourge.
The most practical method yet dis
covered for successfully checking the
spread of the fatal disease is that of
DR.. Haffkine, who was the first to adj
vance the theory of vaccination as a
preventative of Asiatic cholera. In
an article explaining the characteristics
Of his process, the discovcrer says:
"In all hundred injections of anti
choleralc vaccine have been perform
ed on human beings. One curious
fact which is new that DIR. Haff'kine
mentions, is, that dead microbes are
Just as useful as living ones. IF you
kill your microbe you can preserve
him IN picnic acid as long as you
like, and the carbonized vaccine con
fers an immunity almost as complete
as that resulting from the use of llv.
ing vaccine. DR.. Haffkine is firmly
convinced that if he were only to be
allowed to test his method in an In.
dian or Siamese village, where vaccin'
alton against cholera could be made
obligatory on all, the cholera would
be rapidly and completely extinguish
ed. Unfortunately, before he closes
his article he gives ahint that it would
be necessary to vaccinate periodically
against cholera. He is quite sure thai
immunity can be secured for foul
months, but how much longer tht
immunity lasts he does not know; a
the worst it would be only needful tC
renew vaccination from time to time
From which 1t may be inferred tina
before long we shall spend the who'll
of our life in being vaccinated agains
one or other of the diseases to whicl
flesh is heir, until at last mankinC
comes to the conclusion that life itsel
is not worth while living on sucl

CAPT. GEO. w. TAYLOR.

We take great pleasure in reproduc-
ing from the columns Of the Washing
ton (Ark.) Telegraph, the following
highly complimentary notice of our
esteemed friend and fellow townsman,
Capt. Geo. W. Taylor:
"The removal of Capt. George W.
Taylor from Hope to Texarkana de-
prives our neighboring town of one
of her very best as well as most enter
prising citizens. No man who ever
lived in Hope made more friends, OF
endeared his friends to him 80 strong
ly as Captain Taylor has. He il one
of natures noblemen and he will bt
sorely missed. Everybody who en-
joys his acquaintance wishes him thu
most unbounded prosperity in hi
newly chosen field of operations"
We have known Captain Taylor fol
years, and can most heartily endors'
the sentiments uttered above. Hi
location at Texarkana is quite an &C
QUESTION for our live and growing
city. 1t takes just such business mel
to build up city.

Mr.. Taylor is the head, is known al

publicly to define his position ON the
subject, very clearly and unmistaka-
bly, as follows: 81 am more than glad"
said he, "that there will be an extra

session. | wanted to see 1t come
right after the Inauguration. You
see we can get good and satisfactory
tariff law passed by the end of this
year, if we meet in September and
send it to the Senate after Christmas,
and by this time next year we can
have it safely landed beyond Congress.
This would give us plenty of time to
get the law in full operation before
the next election. 1t will take some
time to have the benefit of the law
realized by the people, and when that
is done the advantage of such reform
will be reality and people fully enjoy
ing it will proclaim the truth of the
Democratic policy again at the next
election with even greater emphasis"

NO. 2O8.

has been highly commendable. While
no measures of startling interest or
Of very great general Importance have
been passed, yet great deal of prac-
tical, common sense legislation has
been accomplished and that, too, with
far less than the usual number of leg
islative blunders. Indeed the present
body is composed, on the whole, of
practical and sensible men, who have
proven themselves the friends of their
people and state and the defenders of
what they conceived to be the best in
terests of both. Much might well be
forgiven such men, because their er-
rors would be Of the head, not the
heart while their intent to accomplish
the greatest good for the greatest
number would more than counterbal-
ance any unintentional error into

The Spring,

Of all seasons in the year, Is the one
for making radical changes in regard
to health. During the winter, the
winter, the system becomes TO GER
tain extent clogged with waste, and
the blood loaded with impurities, ow-
ing to lack of exercise, close conflne-
ment in poorly ventilated shops and
homes, and other causes. This is the
cause Of the dull, sluggish, tired feel
ing, so general at this season, and
which must be overcome, or the
health may be entirely broken down
Hoods Sarsaparilla has attained the
greatest popularity all over the coun'
try as the favorite spring medicine
II expels the accumulation Of impurl'
ties through the bowels, kidneys, liver
lungs and skin, gives to the blood the
purity and quality necessary to good
health, and overcomes that tired feel
ing.

Still Unsettled.

The impending conflict between
warning factions in the Choctaw
country, continues to be the all alb
sorbing theme Of public interest thro-
ughout the nation The situation re-
mains practically unchanged. The
militia will neither disband nor attack
Locke. They seem in u quandary
themselves as 10 what they will do.
The command still remains in camp at
Goodland, living on rations furnished
by the nation and the bright hope OF
getting a handsome dividend from
the Choctaw treasury. The Locke
people say that is what they are there
for, and with those great incentives
TO patriotic action cut of they will go
to their several ways and lose interest
in the enforcement Of the law. The
course of Gov. Jones, has been bitter
ly condemned and the action of the
troops unsparingly denounced.

Ten Nights in a Bar Room.

The above excellent drama, setting
forth in a striking manner the evils of
intemperance, was presented by local
talent to an appreciative audience at
Ghio's opera house last evening.
Each member of the cast sustained
his or her part in manner alike
creditable to the individual talent of
the actor and an admirable conception
Of The several characters Of the play,
which could have only been the result
of excellent training during so short a
period of rehearsal The leading
characters of the drama were those as.
sumed by Prof ID. j. Evans and Mrs,
Diamond. The acting Of Mrs.
Diamond was exceptionally good,
while Prof Evans sustained the diff
cult character Of the drunkard, re-
formed, with precision. Win Burch
as Switched, was masterpiece of wit.
satire and rustic good humor. The
acting of Prof Gideon and viii Mot
ley was alike excellent. Little Pearl
Spearman covered herself with honor,
being warmly applauded for her ex-
cellent rendition of Mary Morgan, the
drunkard's daughter. Miss Madge
Hudgins made pleasing village CO.
quette, of uncertain age. Simon
Slade, by Mr.. II. Diamond, was a
more than creditable performance.
Don and Bert Warren, as Harry
Green, the village gambler, and Frank
Slade, both acquitted themselves ex-
cellently. Indeed the play, as an en-
tirety, deserves more than passing no.
tice, and considering the brief time af-
forded for rehearsals reflects the high
est credit upon the performers.

Wants an Extra Session.

There can no longer be any doubt
as to the position of Speaker Crisp
on the question of an extra session of
the Federal Congress. He has been
repeatedly called upon to define his
views on this subject while in Wash
ington. But either out Of Difference
to the heads Of the Government or
because he was inclined to regard as
more or less idle the motives which
prompted his questioners, he has un-
til now, maintained discreet silence
regarding his own personal views and
wishes concerning the matter. Once
the question was propounded on his
native soil, however, this polite evas.
