looked RS beautiful and AS happy as sho
does this season. At Mrs. Carlisle's re-
cepton the other night ono marveled
whom this woman would cease to grow

have Increased in loveliness. 1t may
have been her gown, it may have boon
the new way in which sho dresses her
hair, but sho certainly looked years
younger than She did at the beginning
of this administration, and her smile
seemed brighter, frosher and more Sc
ductive than ever. Hcr gown was made
Of spangled MORE antique of n pinkish
mauvo shade, tho orchid tint now so
fashionable. Tho bodice was low, with
high putTed short sleeves and dangling
pearl strands trimming it. 4 double
strand OF diamonds was woven into a

also looked superb. Sho had assumed

seemed smiling upon tho fairGst of her

Is Woman a Citizen2

The question just now agitating the
women of Indiana is, Will we gain tho
right to vote?
In the constitution of the United
States we find that to be senator IL per
son must have been citizen of the
United States nine years The statute
does not say ''malo inhabitant. - Now
what Is to prevent woman from filling
this office? Again, i'll the fourteenth
amendment We find: "All persons born
or naturaliZod i'll the United States and
subject to tho jurisdiction thereof arc
citizens of the United States and of the
state Wherein they reside. No state shall
make or enforce any law which shall
abridge tho privileges or immunities of
citizens of the United States.'i Accord.
ing to the fifteenth amendment, the
tight of citizens of the United States to
vote shall not be denied or abridged By
che United States, or by any state on
account of race, color or previous coudi-
tlon OF servitudo. 1t seems that if we
are citizens, which we are according to
fhe fourteenth amendment tho point is
already gained, not only III Indiana
but IN all of the states, and tho next
thing is to indUoe congress to enforce
our rights TO vote and hold Office by APP
propriato legislation, or prove to us we
are not citizens
In all OF our'colleges, academies and
even common schools we find girls gain
ing higher per cents than boys of tho
same age, SO it seems that the road is
being paved for us to prove our equality
II not superiority over man intellectual

through all time. Physical endurance is

W. o. SMITH, editor of the
Punxsutawney Spirit, who is also
a member of the legislature
is evidently sound on the pension
question. He writes his paper
as follows: "The Philadelpbia
delegation is very much interested in
the Judges pension bill, which pro.
poses to retire On half pay Judges
who have served twenty years on the
bench. If there is any good reason
why ajudge, who receives a salary of
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year, with
mileage in addition, should receive a
pension, after drawing S100, 900 from
the State Treasury, We have never
heard II advanced Now if il were
proposed to pension country editors
who had struggled with poverty and
despair Tor twenty years, or country
parsons, who had labored for a like
period and received as pay only idly
expressed thanks and a few bepgarlv
donations, there would be some sense
IN It, But the idea Of ponsioning a
man who is fortunate enough to hold
the honorable and lucrative position
OF Judge for twenty years is simply
Ridiculous. To be sure it would no,
cost the state much money. Posi-.
oily there are not four judges in the
state eligible to retirement under
such law, and it is altogether likely
that the people would be very care.

FISH BASKET BARBARIsN.

All who are interested in having
the streams Of the state filled with
food fish must be strongly opposed to
the passage of any Of the fish basket
bills now pending 10 the legislature.
Senator Hackenberg has introduced
one in the Senate while Representa-.
tive Kerr is the father of one
in the House. They are
alike vicious in that the fish has.
kets which they authorize would
slaughter young fish by the thousands
aud old ones by the bushel aud in
short time extermiDate the species.
The preteuse for erecting these fish
death traps is TO capture eels, but
while catching these scaveugers of
our streams, which some find tooth
some, these eel weirs or fish baskets
capture every other fish moving in
the water, which are then taken by
the barrelfnl and killed to the utter
depletion Of the streams.
This wanton and wholesale Aestrue.
tion of the food fish Of the state is
naturally opposed by the State Fish
Commission, which indeed has little
reason to exist if fish baskets are to
be allowed in the streams. Every
true fisherman must be against them,
while economically they are iudefen.

STORMS IN FAUoUIER COUNTY
Several phenomena of recent occur
renee in the Bristersburg locality have
been the source of considerable com
ment, the first being an electric cloud,
which passed over q few nights since
with a display of lightning aud thunder
claps, quite unusual to the season. A
tree, close by a dwelling house, not far
from Sumerville, was fred by a bolt Of
lightning. 1t was found necessary TO
cut down the tree to prevent the fire
from reaching the house. On q place
nearby a current of electricity reached
the ground with a power sufficient to
make a large opening, the soil being
dashed many yards around. About
this time a diminutive cyclone, gyrat-
ing about the premises of J. w. Cum
Minis, esq, passed through his stack
yard, taking up one of the stacks,
which it scattered lavishiy in the tree
tops and elsewhere for oyer half a mile.

MARY DELANEY Nor RESPONSIBLE.
Mary Delaney, the Milwaukee woman
arrested for setting fire to st. Dominica
and st. Patrick's churches in Wasi-
ington, was on trial in the Police Court
in that city yesterday. The organist Of
st. Dominick's identified her a. a woman
who was in the church near the spot
where the fire was lighted at the time
of the attempt. Judge Miller said it
was evident that the woman was not
responsible. The case was not con-
cluded. On Tuesday night an attempt
was made to burn st. Mary's Catholic
School by pouring oil on one of the
floors and applying the torch. Fortu-
nately the fire failed to spread.
