The Suffrage Am ndment.

The Suffrage Am endm ent.
Woman suffragists read with alarm
the letter of Mai. L o. Pickering, prohi-
bition candidate for governor, in which
he says that the suffrage amendment is
likely to fail through failure to comply
with the requirements of the constitu-
ton. Mr.. Pickering says that he has
carefully examined the journal of the
House and finds that nowhere is the
proposed amendment entered with the
yeas and nays This is contrary to the
direct provisions of the constitution
Mr.. Pickering thinks that the failure to
do this IS because of negligence of those
having the matter in charge. In addi-
ton to this, there is discrepancy in
the age fixed for residence of voters in
the state. The resolution as passed,
reads six months, while the joint resolu-
ton as published in the session laws of
1898 specifies one year as the time.
Speaking of this letter TO a Capital
reporter. Mrs S A Thurston, who has
charge of the women's suffrage cam
paign committee work for this state,
said:
II do not think the discrepancies will
materially affect the amendment if it is
passed. OF course it is likely that the
matter will be taken to the courts and
tested when the amendment carries
This is not new question to me as I
have already consulted concerning it
with several lawyers and they all agree
in saying that the published amend
ment as sent out through the official
paper, would constitute legal publica-
ton of the act as required by the law.
In addition to this the supreme court
has been very liberal in deciding
questions arising from constitutional
amendments and have recognized and
followed the intent of the people wherev-
er it has been possible, hence, [ do not
have any fears as to the final outcome OF
the matter should it be brought into the
courts''

all have met with marked distinction,

Mrs Bayard has been one of the
most favored of all the ladies abroad.

the presence of favorite guest-ask
her to come early, stay all night and
remain for gossip the next day.
Mrs. Bayard is, even at home with
her own people, very quiet reserved
woman, with little American enthusi-
asm or ardor. Perhaps this fact with
her highly educated mind, makes her
all the more acceptable to the conser-
vative English ladies. She wears
some of the smartest gowns seen at
Windsor or at the smart balls of En-
glish society. Mrs Bayard is not a

full in conversation and as entertain
