A Bad Habit.

Self-laudation is not q pleasant nor
commendable habit, but it is habit to
which women are greatly addicted. At
every woman's convention there is one
theme of which they never tire-wom-
an; her intelligence, her patience, her
goodness, and SO on without end. 1t is
true the women have many good quail
ties, but why go abroad trumpeting
them forever. in season and out? 1t is
neither sensible nor modest. What
would we think of men who never tired
of telling of their own virtues, and OF
running the other half of the race
down-their mothers, wives and sis
ters? Instead of posing as saints and
martyrs, if women would own up that
they have faults, and that they are re-
sponsible for many existing evils, then
there would be some hope of new era
an era of equality.-Helen II. Pres
ton, in Womankind.

BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. Late re-

men in Maryland.
Utah.
SALT LAKE,, Utah, Nov. 7.-Returns
are coming in exceedingly slow and up
to midnight no authentic figures can
be given. For delegate to congress the
returns are showing well for Cannon,
republican, and the republicans claim
his election by 1000. 1t was impossi-
BILE to obtain figures last night.
Oklahoma.
GUTHRIE, Ok, Nov. FLYNN, re-
publican, for delegate to congress, car
ried this city by a plurality of 574. Re-
turns from fourteen towns in the ter
ritory give Flynn plurality of s26.
Indications are that he is elected by
500 to 1000 plurality. Heavy demo
cratic losses are reported all over the
territory. The populist vote shows
that that party made coyote cam
paign. Flynn's plurality, by conserva-
tive estimate, is 1900. Returns are
slow and new names of counties can
not be ascertained until after midnight.
Special dispatches to Perry from all
parts of the Cherokee strip and from
Oklahoma indicate Dennis Flynn has
carried the territory by 1000 plurality
and that the republicans will carry a
majority of the representative and
council districts

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. There is no
