The greatest difficulty was encountered
among the laborins classes. A clerk In
a Broadway dry-goods store. for a con-
slderation, undertook the canvass Of the
establishment. Out of staff OF nearly
700, only thirteen signed. The girls said
that they didn't want the ballot, the
men. that the women had too many
rights already. and the married women
declined because their husbands told
them in 80 many words to mind their

On Saint Eutropius's Day in Haute-
Vienne all the unmarried women walk
In procession to Saint Junien-les-Gombes
to the cross near the church. Each
woman hangs her left garter on the
cross and prays that she may have a
good husband. There is a superstition
not unknown in this country that a yell

1t Is charged that the Talmage Taber-
nacle burned in Brooklyn on Sunday was
mere tinder-box, and that the Hotel

rapidity with which the flames did their

out these assertions. There is an.
parently an opportunity for stricter at.
tention to the provisions OF the building
laws In Brooklyn. II that Tabernacle
had burned half an hour earlier, or the
