uTAH'S POLITICAL WOMEN.
They Hold Registration Teas and Discus
the Responsibility of the Ballot.

Utah S political campaign offers an in
teresting study of practical woman suff-
rage. 1t had been supposed that women
would not be allowed to vote until after
the adoption of the State constitution,
which grants the franchise. By recent
decision in test case however, the ena-
bling act issconstructed to take eeffect in
advance of Statehood, so far as sun erage
and one or two other phases OF Statehood
here are concerned. Pending the discussion
on the appeal of this cas-. to the Supreme
Court women have been registered and
are taking a most active part in the prl-
maries. They are represented on all the
committees of both parties, and the re-
Gently appointed secretary of the Republl-
can territorial committee, Mrs. Lille Il.
Pardee, is believed to be the first woman
h at ever served in that capacity, says the
Chicago Record.
The most active workers on both SIDES
So far in the campaign have been women.
They complain, however, that tho rank
and file of the sex are apathetic in matters

mocrat, but had always believed in the
tariff for protection. Another said her
husband would do all the voting in her
family. Some few, Mrs. Allen said, had
treated her as an enemy of the public
peace In too many cases the SUBJECT OF
politics was treated with absolute indiff-
erence.
One immediate result Of this apathy
has been the invention of a new form of So
cial diversion. 1t is called registration
tea. " The chief difficulty with the wom-
en- voters is to get them registered The
law does not require declaration of the
voters exact age, but apparently few
women understand this There SENS to
be an impression also, that the mode of
registration is complicated To dispeil
these illusions registration teas have been
devised. The guests are unregistered
women. The hostesses are members of the
ward or precinct committees Usually
the entertainment includes music and
refreshments A talk o n the responsible
ty of the ballot and the necessity of regis
tration is a fixture of the programme
The talk also includes instruction for
registration and an explanation of the
Australian voting system, which is used
in the primaries and in the general cleo
tions The registration tea SO far ha
proved about the only effectual method
of getting the ladies interested in politics,
and it is being worked very industrious
ly to that end

The Haines-May Wedding.

The New York Herald gives these par
ticulars in reference to the Haines-May
wedding:
1.-THE marriage of Mrs. Josephine Law
May, widow of Colonel Charles May, to
Mr.. George A. Haines, of Boston and
Portland, which occurred at Lugano,
Switzerland, on Monday, was a matter
of surprise to the majority of the bride s
friends here, who had no idea Of her in
tentions to wed again.
Mrs. May-Haines is one of the two
daughters of the late George Law, and
inherited from her father handsome for
tune, which she has spent most literally,
but in an transformations manner.
She is woman of a physique which
might almost be styled majestic, being
fully six feet in height, and with pure
white hair, personality once seen never
to be forgotten. Her devotion to music
has been something remarkable, and
there are few professional women who are
more finished pianists.
Mrs. May inherited from her father his
mansion, at No. 80 Fifth avenue, house
which has been greatly enriched by paint
ings, miniatures and enamels bought from
timelto time by Mrs. May in her frequent
trips abroad.
While entertainments in this house
have. been frequenu, they have never been
OIL u general Cudr1CucIs bu0 IOSt0SS plO-
ferring to bring about her such intimate
friends as were devoted to music Mrs
May was on all such occasions performer
as we'll as hostess, and often played the
accomplishments for some noted singer,
yiolinist or 'cellist.
Mr. Haines, who is a man of means,
has been a frequent guest at this house
during the last ten years.
A few years ago Mrs. May began to
build villa at Candenabbia, Italy, its
construction being left to an ecclesiast,
Mgr. Clerc, who died while on visit to
Mrs. May. in New York, about eighteen
months ago. 1t is said that through
Mgr. Clerc Mrs. May became a Roman
Catholic. though she had been brought
up as Presbyterian.
She has no children.
Colonel May was an uncle of Messrs.
Hermann and Charles Oelrichs. He died
about twenty years ago.
In all probability Mrs. May -Halnes will
return to New York late in October,
when her villa at Candenabbia is finished.
She will pass her summers there.

IN A ROW BOAT.
Novel Trip of Three Portland Men-From
Portland to Augusta Caught in jam
of Logs.

In the old days of Indian wars and de-
predations when Fit. Halifax, on the Ken
nebec at Waterivlle was occasionally be-
seieged by the savages, the only way for
aid to come from Port land was by water
In rough weather and with simply birc
canoes for boats it was rather dangerous
trip to go around outside but it was pos
sible, by making carry Of short dis
lance from near the mouth of the Ken
nebec over into the New Meadow river,
to make the journey in inside waters
Recently three Portland men started to
make this trip in rowboat They We're
Samuel d. Rummery, his son Harold,
and Eben r. York They started on the
morning of Sept. LIST, in one of Carriers
row-boats, and stopped that night at
Capt. Toothacre's house on Haskell's
island
They decided because of the calm wealth
or and the difficulty of making carry
with heavy row-poat, not to go up the
New Meadow river, but to reach the
mouth of the Kennebec by way of the
ocean. They started from Haskell's Is
land at z 80 Sept. I'd and reached Ft.
Popham at 10 80 that noon. They went
in by the eastern passage.
They remained there five hours waiting
for the tide to run up the river. They
started with the tide at p. M, rugged
a temporary sail and reached Bath, IL
miles, in hours and 45 minutes
They started from Bath, at Z. 30 a. m.
and reached Augusta at p. IN They re-
manned in the boat all that time. They
intended to stop at Vassalboro that night
and SO got their boat hauled around the
dam. IF
A short distance above Augusta they
found the river entirely filed with logs
They slept in the boat and the next morn
ing worked their way up through the logs
to Riverside, and walked to Vassalboro.
They reached their boat again at 8
O'Clock that afternoon and though they
had only three miles to go, they didn't
reach Augusta till 10 O'Clock that even
ing. They were over six hours working
their way through three miles of logs.
Friday morning they went down to
Bath and stopped there for dinner. In
the afternoon they made fast to schoon-
er that was being towed outside. The
idea was to keep on the schooner till it
should be opposite Portland Head and
then row in, but the schooner got stuck
on Parker's Flats. just above Eft. Popham
and SO they slept that night in their
boat.
Saturday morning, the wind was blow
ing gale from the northeast. They
rugged their temporary sail and made the
distance from Eft. Popham to HASKELL
Island in just 8 hours and 40 minutes,
which is very good sailing.
It was altogether delightful trip and
the shooting was excellent all the way.
There were great many snipe and plover
and some ducks and teel.
