ALBANY. Jan. 2L-An important decision has
Just been given by the Court Of Appeals AZ
hrminG tho decision Of Justice Williams OF the
Supreme Court Fourth Department which
was upheld by the General Term, in declaring q
uncon stitutional the law allowing women to
vote for School Com missionera The opinion
is by Judge Finch. and all the Judges concur.
The matter arose over the cancellation OF the
name OF Matilda J. Gage from the registry list
OF the Third Election district, town OF Man
Illus, OnondaRa county. where Mrs. Gage was
duly registered On Oct. II. 1899 The opln-
Ion says that counsel conceded that the
question hinged upon the Interpretation OF
the Constitution regarding what con stituted
constitutional officers. It being admitted that
none but male citizens had the right to vote
for such. A School Commissioner was held
not to be . constitutional oflcsr, as the Of
1cers Of q single school district we're not.
Judge Finch aays that there arc two definite

those OF isuperintendence over a larger or small

the latter are and always have been as clearly
eitner town or county officers as the fort or
