ADvrcEs received from Colorado in.
dicate that the women who will have
their first vote on general state elec-
tion November are evincing an inter-
est in politics which had not been sup.
posed probable when the right of suf-
frage was conferred. All three parties,
the republican, democratic and popu-
list have tickets In the field and there
are female candidates on each of them.
All accounts represent the women as
taking as much interest in the cam.
paign as the men, and the indications
are believed to be that the total vote OF
the state will almost equal the state
adult population.

Some New Poe Letters.

From Scribner's for August.
The following letter was written
to John P. Kennedy, who had be-
come interested in Poe when the
latter won the first prize offered by
the Baltimore Saturday Visitor"
for an original tale:
BALTIMORE, November, 1S34.-
Dear Sir: | have a favor to beg OF
you which thought it best to ask
in writing, because, sincerely, / had
not courage to ask it in person. |
am indeed too we'll aware that /
have no claim whatever on your
attention, and that even the man
ner of my introduction to your no.
tice was at the best equivocal. Since
the day you first saw me MY
situation in life has altered materi-
ally. At that time l looked for
ward to the inheritance of a large
fortune, and, in the meantime, was
in receipt of an annuity for my
support. This was allowed me by
gentlemen of Virginia (Mr. John
Allen) who adopted me at the age
OF two years (both my parents be-
ing deadO and who, until lately,
always treated me with the affec-
ton of father. But a second
marriage on his part and l dare
say many follies on my own, at
length ended in a quarrel between
us. He is now dead, and has left
me nothing. l am thrown entire.
ly upon my own resources, with no
profession and a very few friends.
Worse than all this,I am at length
peuniless. Indeed, no circum-
stances less urgent would have
induced me to risk your friend
ship by troubling you with my
distress. But l could not help
thinking that if my situation was
stated--as you could state ito
Cary & Lea, they might be led to
aid me with small sum in con-
sideration Of my MS. now in their
hands. This would relieve my i'm
mediate wants, and l could then
look forward more confidently to
better days. At all events receive
the assurance Of my gratitude for
what you have already done. Most
respectfully, your obedient servant,
EDGAR ALLAN Poe.
In another letter Poe has to de-
cline an invitation to dinner with
Mr.. Kennedy, because he had no
fit clothing to wear. The following
give a pathetic idea of Poe's power
ty, the letter also being addressed
to Mr.. Kennedy:
Sunday, March Is, lS35.-Dear
Sir: In the paper which will be
handed you with this note is an
advertisement to which l most
anxiously submit your attention.
1t relates to the appointment of a
teacher in a public school, and L
have marked it with a cross so that
you may readily perceive it. In
my present circumstances such a
situation would be most desirable,

In Case of Apparent Death.
ON the American Therapist.

From the American Therapist.
The new method of DR.. Laborde,
which consists in making rhythmic
traction on the tongue to bring
about the respiratory reflex action,
has been tried great deal in
France in the last two years in all
sorts of cases Of asyphyxia by
drowning, electric shock, lightning
stroke and the cases of apparent
death in the newly born. Some
sixty-three cases are given were
patients were recalled to life by
this method, and as it is so simple

such as is on hand during chloro-

DIR. Holmes Suggestion.


Boston Herald
In the August "Century" DR.
Holmes is quoted by the author of
an article on the discovery of an
esthesia as furnishing conclusive
evidence that the discovery be-
longs to DIR. Morton. All this does
not destroy the force and effect of
one of DIR. Holmes best and most
famous puns, which was perpetrat-

most fitting inscription for the
monument to the discoverer of an

were two claimants for the honor
of this discovery. Everybody

Vegetable Visiting Cards.
rom Parsons Weekly.

From Parsons Weekly.
Many are the uses to which the
cactus is put, but one of the queer
est is that which prevails in Cape
Town, South Africa, where cactus
leaves are made to serve the pur-
pose of visiting cards. 1t might
occur to the reader that package
of thick leaves covered with prick
" spines would not be easily &C.
commodated in a card case. The
leaves of the special kind Of cactus
used for this purpose are not very
prickly, however, and furthermore,
these unique cards are not carried
about, but are left growing on the
plant which stands by the front
step.
When a lady calls she has only
TO take her hat-pin from her bon
net and scratch her name on the
glossy surface of one of the leaves,
while a gentleman acComplishes
the same end with a sharp pen
knife. The lines scratched turn
silvery white, and remain clear and
distinct on the leaf for years. On
New Years day these cactus cards
are particularly convenient, and
popular hostesses often appropriate
a large branch of their cactus plant
to the registery of visits received
on that day.
There is one cactus, which is not
specially plentiful, which not only
has smooth leaves, but has spines
so large and stiff that they make
excellent pens and visitors are
saved even the slight trouble OF
drawing out a hat. pin or pen-knife

Henry wills PRAYER Book.

From the New York Times.
Among the books OF the Foun-
tame collection, sold in London
some two weeks ago, were a half
dozen volumes which excited the
cupidity of collectors. Here was
a prayer book of 1914, impressed
on vellum, which had belonged to
Henry VIII, and was given by
him to his daughter Mary. 1t
contained an inscription in the
Kings handwriting: "Myne own
good daughter" 1t has passed
from Mary to her mother as a
gift, and Mary had written, "9our
moste humble Daughter and
Servant Marye." This prayer book
was sold for f640. One curious
waif was the first volume of lit
tie Latin Bible of the early part
of the fourteenth century, wonder
full for its beauty Of execution.
Bibliopoles were we'll aware that
the second volume was in the
Bibliotheque Rationale, and that
both volumes had once belonged
to Philip the Fair. The Fountaine
Latin Bible brought f610, and it
seems certain that the first volume
will find place now alongside Of
the one in the Bibliotheque Ma
tionale. There was lovely Book
of Hours, made at the beginning
of the fourteenth century by an
English scribe, full of wonderful
illustrations. Mr.. William Morris
secured this Book of Hours for
E41O, and the poet is described as
having at once tucked the precious
volume under his arm.

All nature smiles, the windows

old time prosperity will soon re-

The vote Of the taxpayers yester-

other era of prosperity.
The splendid turnout Of taxpay-

favor of putting in a modern sys-

world that we have a live, pro-
gressive city.
1t will be worth millions to our
city to accomplish the great public
improvement authorized by the
vote Of the taxpayers.
1t is the first genuine public i'm
provement ever undertaken in our
city.
Our city is now to undertake
what should have been done before
we threw a million into mud
streets and block pavements.
Had the result at the polls been
against the bonds it would not on
ly have been vote of want of con-
fidence in the present administra-
ton, but want of confidence in
the future growth and prosperity
of our city.
The result has proven our people
to be intelligent, progressive and
not afraid to eXpend money for
the benefit of our city, when they
fell assured of its being properly
spent.
Had it not been for the fact that
local politics were injected into the
contest, and that Judge Callaghan,
and the animation he heads,
staked their political fortunes upon
the result, the vote for sewers would
have been still more decided than
it was. But Mr.. Callaghan's friends
fought for political advantage and
permitted themselves to be per.
suaded to oppose a measure that

1t proves that the people of this

be right and honest and decent or
