VANDALISM.

VANDALISM.
About month ago some boys de-
stroyed the shrubbery in the Muse
um grounds, and between Saturday
and Monday someone defaced the
granite curbing around the building
with ink or paint. 1t will be impos-
sible to remove the ink from the
granite and, aside from the meanness
of the act, the expense of putting in
a new curbing will be large. The
trustees have offered 500 reward,
$50 for each act, for the discovery of
the person orpersons who com mitted
these crimes.
Comment on these acts appears
elsewhere.

TOWN TAXES DUE.

Notice appears elsewhere of the
fact that the town taxes are now
due and are to be paid to E. D. Blod-
gett, the town treasurer. The town
tax, including the state and county
tax paid, is 95 cents on the dollar,
and the town school tax is As cents
on the dollar, and the town highway
tax, not in the village limits, 20 cents
on the dollar. If these taxes are
paid within 80 days the taxpayer
gets rebate of 4 per cent and if they
are not paid within that period they
will be collected by law and the tax
payer will have to pay 2 per cent
more to pay for the costs of collect
ing. The method of granting a dis
count for prompt payment of the
taxes has not been customary here
in the past and we are of the opinion
that the taxpayer will be very glad
to pay his tax at an early date and
thus save the money.

women's First Vote In ohio.

By a recent act of the Ohio legisla-
ture the Paxton special school district
has been created in Miami township
Clermont county. Consequently an i'm
mediate election of a board of trustees
for the new district became necessary,
and at this election, which was held
May 1 1, women voted for the first time
in Ohio. 1t was recognized as a histOr-
ic event. The schoclhouse was made
beautiful with flowers, plants and pa
triotic decorations, and handsome silk
flag floated from the staff on the belfry.
A ticket was nominated entirely of wo-
men=Mrs. Harriet Paxton, Mrs. Ellen
Hutchinson and Mrs. Mary A Reeves
and was unanimously elected. 1t was
arranged that Mrs. Reeves, the wife of
City Passenger Agent Of the Big Four
J. E. Reeves of Cincinnati, should cast
the first ballot ever cast by woman in
Ohio OF about 60 votes 20 were cast
by women Boston WOman's Journal

The NIayfovyer Club.

The Mayfower. a woman's club in
Boston, is a good object lesson in club
economies to more than the sex to which
its membership is exclusively limited.
Formed solely for the purpose of afford
ing a quiet place where it's members
could lunch when in the business dis
trict of the city, it has just held it's Sec
ond annual meeting and look over of the
club affairs, to find that it is in most
prosperous condition financially. 1t has
long been considered a sine qua non of
the running qualities of mems clubs
that no cafe attached to them could sup
port itself without a bar, but the May
flower has demonstrated differently. 1t
has no bar, does not sell wines or liq-
uors of any sort, and through the past
year has paid for itself in every way and
left intact for future emergencies its re-
serve fund. To meet its growing popu-
larity its membership has been increased
to 400, which, however, does not by any
means clear off its waiting list.-Bos-
ton Correspondent.

A Bride In Knickerbockers.

I have never heard even the most
rabid advocate of rational O. dress sug-
gest that they would grace the form of a
bride on her wedding day, says an Eng
hsh writer. A slzirtless, knickerbocker-
ed maiden, with a wreath and veil,
savors of the region of farcical comedy,
and 1 doubt whether a reverend gentle
man would not consider himself justi-
fed in refusing to perform the ceremony
until the bride presented herself in less
manly array. However, the New Zealand
clergy are less welded to sartorial con-
yentions, for one of them, said to be ga
sympathizer in the great reform of WON
ems dress, - recently united pair at
Christchurch - not, however. in a
church, but private house-when the
bride wore stone blue bengaline coat and
Knockers, long embroidered vest, a
wreath of flowers and bridal veil.
Among the guests were many ladies in
the manly attire affected by fair bicycle
riders, and the bridesmaids had also dis
carded skirts

Women Cyclists.

American women of fashion have
been slow to adopt the Partisan craze
it can only be called that-for bicycling,
but it begins to look as if the force of
its contagion has really crept across the
sea. A high class print recently pub
1ished Worth bicycling costume, and
by chance the writer heard day or two
ago at one of the large shops an order
for % cycling gowns of an approved
sort to be sent to Tuxedo. These are
merely straws, but with more that are
discernible seem to indicate the way
the wind is setting. Bicycle fashions are
indeed becoming distinct department.
A golden rule for women cyclists is that
which is vigorously followed by the
thoroughbred horsewoman-allow no
loose ends. Have everything about your
toilet secure. Loosely done hair, flying
ribbons, unnecessary furbelows of any
sort, are to be tabooed- New York

The Duchess of Neucast1e.

At the royal drawing room on Thurs
day many ladies wore English made ma
terial. Among them, it is said, was the
Duchess of Newcastle, a stately young
matron, whose gown of mauve satin,
with wOndrous lace trimming, and bod
ice ''veiled IN silver 1ecIzed mauve chif-
fOn showing between diagonal bands of
satin, with undulating edges outlined
with silver" caused the sensation of the
day, according to courtly gossipers.
This is not surprising, for the duchess
is beautiful woman, and the profusion
Of diamonds which she wore and her
train of dark reddish pansy purple hue
were alone sufficient to make her stand

Muslin Nehdine Dresses.

Because muslin is the fashion for
wedding froclzs for June brides this
year it does not of necessity mean that
the hard times have struck even we'd

who cannot make a wedding outfit of
white muslin as expensive as one of

trimming for dressiness. 1 have seen
some that were extremely pretty made
with fat lace insertion laid over the
silk so as to represent stripes, some GO
ing up and down and others around
These with the lace trimming are of the
soft china silks and in very light tints
and often white. A handsome velvet
or ribbon belt should be worn with such
a waist as q finish. Plating down one
side of the front and draped collar is
the most usual trimming, though there
are dozens of other designs.
One pretty waist was made of shot
brown and gold taffeta, with white
swivel dots on the surface. This waist
had the shoulder part shirred to repre-
sent yoke, and at the end of each line
OF shirring there was set tiny bow of
gold colored baby ribbon The lower
part of the waist was gathered in to
belt of brown velvet ribbon, which had
two rosettes and ends of the same.
The sleeves to these silk waists vary
in form, some being balloon, some
gigot, some double Puffs, but the pref
tiest and most graceful are the bishop
and Duse sleeves. The changeable taffetas
are very pretty made up in this style of
waists. They can be worn with any
skirt, wool, silk or mixtures, and they
transform what would be an uncom-
fOrtably warm costume into a cool one
by leaving off the waist that belongs to
the skirt. The prettiest model for these

waists is that where the fronts are gath

waist was made of shirred ruf1es and
