Middletown transcript., 1894-11-24
PORT PENN.

An enterprising little news-boy Branard
Yearsley, now supplies the town with an
evening paper. The demand sometimes ex-
ceeds the supply.
A Port Penner writes from the West ::
'"The Republican party has arisen from its
ashes with such vigor, that there is danger
that all the rest will be smothered. We
may now look forward to season of unex-
ampled prosperity" Of course he is a
Democrat
Although the weather is too warm to be
at all suitable, some persons have already
killed their hogs, while others are making
arrangements to do So 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that the thermometer is below zero in
the West, when it is so mild and pleasant
here. Today is far more like spring than
autumn, and the grass is green and beauti-
full, though the book of nature is getting
short of leaves
This has been q great year for travelling
merchants and local venders of all varieties
of goods push their sales as they journey
from house to house. People will buy from
those who sell the cheapest. 1t is also con-
venient to have the goods brought to the
door, and the trade seems to flourish. As it
is not always regular, perhaps the local
market does not suffer materially and store
bills continue to run up pretty much as
usual
Middletown transcript., 1894-11-24
Where Women Vote.

The countries of the world where women
already have some suffrage have an area oil
over Is, 900, 900 square miles and their popl-
lation is over 200.
In Great Britain women vote for all elec-
ton officers except members of Parliament.
In France the women teachers elect wo-
men members on all boards of edutation.
In Sweden women vote for all elective
officers except representatives, also indirect
ly for members of the House of Lords.
In Norway they have school suffrage.
In Ireland the women vote for the harbor
boards. poor law guardians, and in Belfast
for municipal officers.
In Russia women householders vote for
all elective officers and on all local matte rs
In Finland they vote, for all elective Off
cres.
In Austria Hungary they vote, by proxy,
for all elective offices.
In Croatia and Dalmatia they have tn
privilege of doing so in local elections in
person.
In Italy widows vote for members of
parliament.
In the Madras presidency and the Bonn
bay presidency, Hindoostan. the women
exercise the right of suffrage in all munich
palities.
In all the countries of Russian Asia they
can do so wherever a Russian colony set
ties. The Russians are colonizing the
whole of their vast Asia possessions, and
carrying with them everywhere the mir"
of self government village, wherein women
who are heads of households are permitted
to vote.
