of others would be violation OF the con-

no attention, for it hinges entirely upon
the repeal Of the penalties. There is only
one way to get rid of the prohibitory law

WOMAN SUFFRAGE IN MASSA
CHUSETTS.

SIS it expedient to grant municipal
suffrage to women?" I hat is one of the
questionsswhich the people of Massachu-
setts of voting age are called upon to
answer today. Both males and females
are given chance to vote upon it, The
answer will not necessarily be binding
upon the legislature, though of course
decisive no or decisive yes will be likely
to be very influential with that body
The question has not excited great
general INTEREST, though in some quar-
tiers it has made considerable stir. The
extent of the registration of women in
the cities is very small, showing that the
great majority of them feel SO little
interest in it that they have not taken
the trouble to qualify themselves to vote
either way OF those who haye qualified
the majority are probably i'll favor of the
suffrage, though by no means all The
vote of the men will decide the question,
and as the great majority of the women
seem to be entirely indifferent, it is not
likely that the masculine part OF the
community will insist on tnrusting the
suffrage upon them. The chances are
therefore that the question will be an
swered in the negative.
Just as the campaign is closing the
Manhood Suffrage Club has issued an ad-
dress urging male voters to vote against
the extension of the suffrage for the fol-
lowing reasons: -
1 Because suffrage is not a natural or
moral right, but duty, to be imposed for
the benefit of the community upon those
best fitted ito peform it.
2. Because women suffer no injustice
in Massachusetts.
Because the vast majority of women
in Massachusetts, knowing that the
rights are fully protected today, do not
desire the suffrage. This is plainly shown
by the fact that more than $50, 600 out of
the 800, 600 women entitled to register to
vote on this question have failed to d.
SO.
4. Because the nervous and physical
strength of women i'll their present fields
of activity is already overtaxed
5. Because the power to make the laws
and the power to enforce the laws ought
to go together.
6 Because, if women participated in
town meetings, muster of the whole
adult community at the same hour would
be necessary. Who, then, would look
after the homes and the children.
T. Because doubling the number of
voters would oblige many of our towns to
abandon the system of town government
for that of city: in this case with no
compromising advantage.
s. Because we do not believe the politi-
cal conditions of Utah, Wyoming and
Colorado are to ssbe referred in any re-
spect to those of Massachusetts,.

DWELLINGS FOR THE POOR.
d. O. Mills Will Put Improved Tenements
in New York.
IN. Y. Corr. Baltimore Sun. J

N. Y. Corr. Baltimore sun.
While the tenement commission was at
work some time ago the dwellings of the
poor attracted general attention. Now it
is said that Darius o. Mills, millionaire,
of this city and San Francisco, will
soon begin the erection of two model
lodging houses here, one on the lower
east side and another on the west side,
also down town. Mr.. Mills consulted
none of the persons interested in better
ing the condition of the poor before en-
barking on his enterprises. He felt that
there was an opportunity for practical
charity in providing better accommoda-
lions for men in mean circumstances. and
with characteristic energy he Immediate.
ly entered ON the preliminaries necessary
for a realization of his projects. He
quietly purchased some time ago a plot
75xl00 feet at The northeast corner of
Chrystle and Rivington streets, now oc-
cupied by old buildings for $50, 600, as a
site for his East Side house. His invest
ment in this particular neigkborhood ex-
cited some surprise among those who
have watched his real estate operat: ons,
and there were many conJectures as to
what would be done with the property
Attention was again directed to his op-
erations yesterday, however, when it was
tire block front in Blocker street, west
of West Broadway. This district also is
outside the line of the millionaire's usual
invest ments, and in connection with his
purchase ON the East Side it excited con-
siderable gossip.
The block front acquired by Mr. Mills
is situated on the south side of Blocker
street between Thompson and Sullivan
streets. 1t is the site selected for his
West Side lodging house.
This plot, which measures 200 feet, in
Blocker street or Depau Place, as it was
formerly designated, comprises the first
fine residence built by A. Z. Stewart for
his own occupancy. When Mr. Stewart
built his house in the old fashion of
stone front in Blocker streetwith brown
fronts for the side streets, the district was
one of the most fashionable in the city.
In the division OF the Stewart estate
property this Blocker street holding was
allotted to Resale Butler, and it was
from her that Mr.. Mills made the pur-
chase. AS soon as he gets possession the
Old Stewart mansion and the adjoining
house will come down and in their place
a lodging house from the most approved
plans will be erected.

Utah votes today on the adoption Of the
new constitution and for state officers
who will occupy the positions to which
they are elected whenever the territory is
admitted as state. Though Congress
passed an enabling act Utah is not yet a
state and will not be until the President
has certified that the people of the terri
tory have complied with the condition of
that act, and has issued his proclamation
formally admitting it as state. There
seems to have grown up in the territory
of late some opposition to statehood
consequent upon an attempt of the Nor
mon church to dictate in political affairs,
and it may make some show in the vote
today. There is scarcely doubt however
that the new constitution will be accept
