BOARD OF LADY MANAGERS
fhe Fair Is Ended, but the Women Are
Yet working Like Trojans.

The Fair Is Ended, but the Women Are
Yet Working Like Trojans.
An interesting account Of the work
pertaining to the Worlds fair which is
being done by the various members of
the board of lady managers IS printed
in the Chicago Tribune. The fact that
they have labored faithfully ever since
the fair closed and viii continue to do
SO until the end of the year is another
proof of their untiring zeal and q sur
prise as well to those who supposed that
their labors ceased long ago The board
have offices in the Masonic temple in
Chicago, and several members who
were at the head Of different depart
ments from the beginning of all prepa-
rations for the fair are still hard at
work, with a number of clerks At the
first meeting of the lady managers the
Importance of awards was discussed and
a resolution adopted for providing some
recognition for the work accomplished
by men and women who were instru-
mental in producing or perfecting any
exhibit which received an award Mrs
Potter Palmer presented the subject to
a special committee of congress in such
a convincing manner that they were
quickly enrolled on her side. In Deem
Der, 1898, the resolution became a law
and gave to the board of lady managers
the authority to present diplomas Of
honorable mention to designers, invent
ors and expert artisans who assisted III
perfecting exhibits. This was done not
solely for the reason that the plan orig
mated with them, but because the man
agement Of their finances met with the
approval Of the secretary Of the treasu-
ry The principal idea Of the whole
thing is to give the artisan his due and
bestOW upon him a deserved and apprO-
pirate share of honor with the manufac-
turer, so that he may have the encOur-
agement and satisfaction of knowing
that the Importance of his work was
recognized and appreciated That he,
IN his turn, appreciates the gracious
thoughtfulness of the fair ladies is am
ply shown by the many grateful letters
they have received in acknowledgment
of their diplomas.
One more curious than all the others
came from Father Schleyer, the invent
or of Volapuk, and was written in Vol
apuk The recipients all express their
thanks very warmly and seem strongly
impressed with the fact that such "a
lovely idea could never have originated
in the mind Of man. The diplomas
are said to be very handsomely got up,
and each one is sure to have Mrs. Palm
er's autograph to enhance its value
AS chairman of the committee Of
awards Mrs Virginia @. Meredith has
direct charge of issuing the diplomas
of honorable mention, of which there

THE BALLOT Is sECRET.
Voters Reassured that 1t Can't be Known
How They Vote


How They Vote
A great many people inquire anxious
~ of the commissioner Of elections when
they register whether their ballots will
be marked when they vote. The opin-
ion prevails to some extent that each bal
lot will be numbered so that it can after
ward be ascertained how every man
voted
The ballots will not be marked as
there is a special provision of the law
which says:
The number of the voter on the poll
books or register list shall not be in
dorsed on the back OF the ballot unless
the vote shall have been challenged and
the voter sworn second time as now
provided by law"
The law makes the penalty for viola
ton severe. It says: "Any public officer
upon whom duty il imposed by this act
who shall wilfully neglect to perform
such duty, or who shall wilfully perform
1t ia such way as to hinder the object
Of this act or shall disclose to any one.

Of justice, the contents OF any ballot as
to the manner in which the same may
have been voted, shall be punished by q
line Of not less than $50 nor more than
$1,000, or by imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary for not less than one year nor
exceeding five years, or by both such
fine and imprisonment"
QIhe law also makes provision that a
voter cannot show any one how he votes
Section ~ says: ~Any person who shall
except as herein provided, mark or fold
his ballot so as to be disting uished. or al
low his ballot to be seen by any person
with an apparent intention of letting it
be known how he is about to wore, shall
be punished by line of not less than
$25 nor more than 500, or by imprison-
meat for not less than ten days nor ex-
ceeding thirty davs.'

many voters do not realize that the Aus

A CABLE RAWAII.


English Commissioners Are Very Anxious
to Lay One to the Islands
SAN Francisco, Oct 24-News has
been received of Great Britain's attempt
to lay a cable to Hawaii The British
commissioners now in Honolulu, Sanford
Fleming, of Canada. and ]. Mercker, for
the colonial office, have submitted their
proposition to the government of the Re
public Of Hawaii asking for lease of
Necker island and subsidy of $4,000
per year for fifteen years
In return for these grants they promise
cable and to make the charge for mess
ages one shilling a word, with reduc-
ton for messages sent by the government
and for press dispatches.
The commissioners ask also a condition
from the government that Necker island
shall be ceded TO Great Britain IN the
event of the annexation of Hawaii to the
United States.
The government Of Hawaii is anxious
for cable connection. but is not satisfied
with the conditions offered by the
commissioners The proposition for
conditional cession of Necker Island to
Great Britain will not be considered
This condition must be omitted altogeth-
er- British commissioners expect sue
cess from their commission The sub
sidy asked for IS also deemed too large
The Hawaiian government would lot
consider the proposition at all if any
prospect for a cable to the Uuited States
were in sight. AS the government of
this country seems to be taking no act

FrOllman's Luck or Pluck /.

The good luck that has attended
most Of Mr.. Charles Frohman's
ventures during the last five or six
years was never more conspicuous
than in getting The Girl | Left
Behind Ne" for the opening of his
beautiful new house, the EN-
pire. a year and half ago. But
there was pluck as well as luck in
the matter and lots Of good judg-
ment as well, for nine out Of ten
managers with an important new
metropolitan house to open would
prefer to take some piece by
famous English author rather than
risk an American production.
Much depends upon the success
or failure Of an opening play; if
successful it will give a catchet to
the house for the whole season; if
failure all that comes after will
be looked upon with a doubt
But Frohman decided that his
new house should be initiated
with an American play, and he
even went so far as to take the
work Of an author almost unknown
to the public, Frarklyn Fyles,
the dram attic editor OF the Sun.
True Mr.. Fyles had the assistance
Of a veteran playwright, Belasco.
The record of the success Of 1.-The
Girl Left Behind Me" has passed
into dramatic history as marking
one Of the red.
