THE RIGHT TO VOTE.
HOW THE WOMEN OF COLORADO
 SECURED IT.
The Stru

The Struggle Began Twenty-four Years Ago and Culminated In an Enthusiastic and Successful Campaign Last Fall-The Distinguished Services of Mrs. Chapman. Twenty-four years ago General Ed | ward McCook, then territorial governor | of Colorado, wrote concerning the wom- an suffrage question in his first message to the legislature: Ut rests with you to say whether Colorado will accept this reform in its first stage or in it's last, | whether she will be leader or 8 fol lower, for the logic of a progressive civilization leads to the inevitable result of universal suffrage"
 Governor McCook was a pioneer in the woman suffrage movement, and re- cent events have proved that he was something of prophet so far as Cobra do was concerned, for the state at it's last election, by large majority of the popular vote, decided to admit women to the right of suffrage on perfect equali- ty with men. But in those days Gov ernor McCook met the proverbial fate of a prophet in his own country, and though he and band of devoted follow CTS made hard fight for female suf- frage in the territorial assembly of 1870 they were defeated by a two-thirds ma jority.
 The history of the movement in the Centennial State subsequent to that date makes interesting reading. When Colo rado was on the eve of statehood in 1876, Judge H. P. H. Cromwell succeeded in having incorporated in the new constitu-

DEEP SEA DREDGING.

 BALTIMORE, Jan 9.-There are many Strange things in the sea, and man has still wide scope in which to pursue his inves- tigations. But this field is becoming more and more narrow, and today the scientist thrusts his hand down 5000 fathoms and tears from the ocean bottom the life that renders even those depths interesting. The inhabitants of Baltimore are well acGuaint- ed with dredging as long as the oyster is the object sought. But there were consid- erable wonderment and inquiry here last summer when party of students and sci entists from the inland state of Iowa ar rived in the city, chartered the two masted schooner Emily E. Johnson, piled a lot of queer looking machines onto her and sailed away to the south to dredge for specimens.
 Up to the middle of the last century the little that was known of the dwellers in the sea beyond low water mark was gathered almost entirely from the objects thrown on the beach after storms or from chance cap lures on lead lines and anchor flukes and in travis and oyster and clam dredges. It was supposed that the zero of animal life was reacneQ at lUU IaCnOmS. some naCu- ralists doubted this popular fancy, and in 1868 Count l.. F. Porrtales of the United States coast survey commenced a series of deep sea dredgings across the gulf stream off the coast of Florida. These proceedings were productive of surprising results. Great Britain sent out the small gunboat Lightning to dredge in the north Atlantic. Six hundred fathoms were reached, and life was still abundant.
 In 1869 and 1870 the British gunboat Por- cupine dredged to depth of Z, ,435 fathoms, or about 215 miles, and many marine in- vertebrates were found. Then ensued the we'll known cruise of the Challenger, when three years were consumed, the ocean tray ersed five times and 362 dredging stations recorded. For the United States the Blake has made itself as useful as the Challenger did. The deepest sounding taken in the ocean is 4,575 fathoms, and only lack of time and daylight has prevented dredge hauls from being made there.
 The expedition sent out last summer by Iowa was in behalf of her university. There were 20 persons in the party, and seven of these were women. This was unique, to say the least, as the fair sex is not usually admitted to an undertaking of this nature. But the institution is co-educational, and

ate is much more like the commons than our house of representatives is, and, praise heaven, we have nothing that is at all anal ogous to the house of lords. One reform remains to be effected in our senate, and that is a change of the rules which shall make it possible for the majority to rule, and to rule by reasonable methods after req sonable time for debate. AS soon as this change shall have been effected, and it will be effected in year or two though proba- bly, not at this session of congress-the United States will doubtless become what it aspires to be and what some of its more complacent members have long fancied it was-the most dignified and admirable leg islative body in the world.

Possessed of Excellent Habits.

A fond parent residing in small New York state village wrote recently to an old friend of his, Worth street merchant of this city, making inquiries regarding the habits of his son, who was in the old merchants employ.
 II trust he keeps good company" the letter said, "and is cultivating no bad habits. Do you know where he sleeps at night?''
 To this the merchant replied: II do not know where he sleeps at night. But don't worry yourself on that score. From the amount of sleeping he does in the store in the daytime I'll warrant he gets sufficient rest. '-New York Herald.

An Onion sociable.

The fashionable circles of Fort Scott, Kan, have devised decided novelty in the line of entertainments. They are called "onion soeiables, and this is how they are conducted: Six young ladies stand in a row, and one bites a chunk out of an onjon, then the onion is turned over to the young men for in- spection. The one who guesses which one of the young ladies bit the onion kisses the other five ladies. If he fails to guess, he is allowed only so kiss the girl who bit the onion. New York Re- corder.

A Yicious Fish.

In South America there is small fish that not only attacks its fellows of the sea and river, but is greatly dreaded by the natives. who during certain seasons have to ford the streams in which the carbitos are found. Fathers are often att tackled by them, the sharp, chisel shaped teeth taking bit from the flesh wher- ever they attack. They are perfect scavengers, eating the animals that float down the river-dead or alive.-Pitts- burg Dispatch.

MUCH has been said concerning the abandonment by President Cleveland of his Hawaiian policy. It is stated upon unquestioned authority that the president has not changed his opinion on the sub ject. On the contrary he is now more strongly convinced than ever that it would be both wise and just to restore the gov- ernment which was wrongfully overthrown by misuse of the power of the United States in the hands of an intriguing minis ter, and he believes that if congress will divest the subject of sentiment and preju- dice and place it on the high ground of plain right and wrong it will eventually arrive at the same conclusion. That is just the point Congress seems to be utterly unable to divest it of sentiment and prejudice, and for that reason, if for no other, it is not likely to decide in favor of a restoration of the former government of Hawaii,

PROFESSOR FALB, the well known astron- omer. whose meteorological predictions have so frequently turned out correct, issues list of 'critical days" for the cur rent year, that is to say, days on which violent storms or other serious forms of atmospheric or terrestrial disturbance may be expected. The days are given in the order of maximum distm bance as follows: August 30, September 29, February 20, March 21, August l, April 6, January 21, May and October 28. Thus, the most serious disturbance may be looked for on August 30, and the slightest on October 28. Professor Falb also states that the earth will some six years hence, come into close conjunction with comet which was first discovered in 1866, and which has, seem- ingly, been since moving in an uncertain orbit. According to Or Falb's computa- ton, this comet will probably collide with our planet about November 13, 1899.
