Woaan Suffrage In Vermont.

The great event of the day in politics
Tor women is the passage Of the muuici.
pal suffrage bill in the Vermont house
OF representatives by the large majority
OF i4g to 81. Laura Moore, secretary OF
the W. s. A, writes that the Vermont
men are as kind and generous as are the
men OF Wyoming or Kansas, and when.
ever we can get enough of the right sort
into legislature Vermont women will
veceive justice at their hands.
Close upon this success, however.
comes news Of defeat in New Zealand
where the long agitated bill to give full
suffrage to women has failed again 10
pass One OF the main points in the dis.
pu.e was the unnecessary proviso in.
serted by the upper house allowing
women to use voting papers instead oi
going In person to the booths; for when.
ever women are allowed TO vote thav ora
ready TO follow the rules.

How Mice Enter q Plano.

A piano tuner tells of finding with.
in the past year mouse nests in four
different pianos. The other day he
was called into see a piano, the ham
mers of which struck the strings sew
eral times when key was touched.
He knew that this was because some
thing was the matter with the ham,
mer tapes, the purpose of which is to
hold the hammers 80 that they shall
strike the strings but once. He found
that every one of the so odd pieces
of tape had disappeared, and the
mouse's nest was soon discovered. It
was bunch as large as ones fist,
composed of the missing tapes chew
ed into pulpy mass. The mice gen.
orally enter piano by climbing up
along the pedal shafts, and almost in.
variably make use of the hammer
tapes for their nest. Exchange.

and the president would shake hands
with him as he passed through. This
did not suit Mr.. Floed, and he finally
worked his way upstairs and was

"Mr. Thurber," began Mr.. Floed, ~

TWO ARRESTS
This morning warrants of arrest were
sworn out In Recorder Edes's court by
w. A. Shaw, charging Elmer Worick
and Fl. A. Bowman with carrying pis
tolls and on April 2sth assaulting him
with the same loaded with powder and
ball. They are supposed to have done
the shooting with blank cartridges at

MISS FERRIs's ILLNESS
was not typhoid fever as she stated
Saturday. DIR. Reynolds was seen this
morning and says Miss Ferris was
treated by him for peritonitis, or in
fiamation Of the membrane covering
the bowels. She has been up and about
for some time, er mother going home
and considering her out of all danger.
PERSONAL.
The staten mt, about attempted
blackmail or going to see Mr.. Shaw for
any improper purpose whatever, as
published In the Democrat, are lies
from beginning to end, SO far as the
editor Of the JOURNAL is concerned.
SO far as the JOURNAL Is concerned il
can brand Mr.. Sbaw's sta j, ments
as lies.
sHAw'S ADMISSION.
Mr.. Shaw says in the Democrat:
THE article as published in saturdays
paper is substantially correct. 1 have
been frequent visitor to Miss Ferris
room, and the young lady is at presen,
an inmate of my hou r f"
Does Mr.. Shaw pretend that he does
not know the character of that part of
he block where he says he visited Miss
Ferris? Does he pretend he does not
know the character of ,ome of the ft.
male inmates of that block? His own
admission shows him fit either for q
erm at the asylum or the pen.

trict No. l, Mrs. Polly Hastings,
widow Of the late Henry Hastings,
killed herself by hanging. She went
into the barn, and placing her hand
kerchief over her face, put on her
sunbonnet, and ued it on so that the
bonnet strings would hold the hand
kerchisf in place. She then climbed
up and tied rope around her neck,
the other end OF which was tied to d
rafter, and jumping down, strsnglsd
herself to death. 1t has been thought
for some time that her mind Wai

was James Rail, hanged himself
some twenty years ago, In the same

The Peoples Petition Ignored.

EDITOR HERALD:-I have noticed
recently several ARTICLES in your pa
per in favor OF Prof Il. B. Kelly for
Superintendent. What l saw were
the written opinions of individuals,
which might have little or much
weight with the Board. But when
learned from good authority that q
petition with some two hun
dred and sixty odd names had been
presented to the Board of Education.
and that at least nine -tenths of all
who were approached had signed tie
petition asking for Prof. Kelly's ap-
pointment, felt sure in my own
mind that the Board would lay aside
their individual preferences and
prejudice, and be controlled by the
wishes OF the constituents.
The majority must and should
rule; not our will but the will of
those we serve should prevail. The
government we represent is OF the
people, for the people and by the
people, not for q few individuals.
Has the Board Of Education forgot
ten that they are the servants OF the
people, and should be governed by
tnem?
Some OF the Board claim that many
OF those who signed the petition are
not patrons Of the school ami had no
interest In the schOol. In answer to
thiA l will ask, how many Of the
Honorable Board are patrons of the
school? Aud II only one out OF ten Of
thOm patroniSes the school, then, il
their argument ID correct, but one
man in the Board has any interest in
the school. l am not ready TO agree
to this statement, for l Rm OF the
opinion that every citizen and tax
payer Of Columbia, feels an interes
and pride in the public schools anC
have the right to express their pref
erence as 10 who shall be the Super
intendent. II the parents OF the chill
dren who attend the public scuOO
have not the right 80 ask who shal
govern aud teEch their children, whI
has?
While regard the Board of Edu
cation as men qualified to fill tn,
position, aud with moral courage t
do what they think is right aud TO
the best interest Of the public; still,
think they should not have forgot
ten thRt they hold their high am
honorable position AZ servants OF tn,
people; and | think they should hav,
said, "lhy will not mine be done.
Neither should they forget the act
OF 1891, which confer upon the Super
visOrs the power to elect the Board O
Education, which the Supervisor
did, but which the Board OF Alder
men ignored aud proceeded to cleo
. about 7 out Of the 10 preeent mem
/ beers Of the Board OF Education. Tn
. acts OF 1891, giving the Supervisor
2 the power to elect the Board OF Edu
cation, has never been revoked.
, T. B. Kelly has his faults. Let tn
man in the Board OF Educate
who has none, cast the first stone.
The voice OF thu people has bee
= strSngled; the will OF the people hs
been wilfully snd knowingly dit
Oheyed the petition of the peopl
has been ignored. But next Noveu
4 Der the people will have their il
ming; they will speak at the ball,
box, where the msjority rules.
