OUANTRELL RECALLED.
How the Cruel Guerrilla Chief SOwed the Wind an.l Iseaped the whirlwind.
 TS,,.,cial CnrrFSOOndenca

LAWRENCE, Kan, June 10.-The recent
 dedication of the monument in this city in
 memory of the 150 citizens who fell vic
 tims to the guerrilla gang led by the infa-
 nous Quantrell recalls q visit made to
 Canal Dover, O., where the mother of the
 guerrilla chief resides, or did at last ac-
 counts.
 While his career and death arc not such
 as Christian mother can be proud of she
 has at least the consolation that she did
 her part in his youthful training and sent
 him from home happy youth whose am
 bition appeared to be of a high order. During my visit the mother showed, not
 without nttlo mothcrly pride, tho lot

Section al strife was formerly between the north and the south. It is now largely coming to be between east and west, and if the west enfranchiSes its women, do you suppose the east will allow it such an advantage? No, indeed, the east will be forced to follow suit. but it will come in last, and dear old Massachusetts, my own state, which should have been first to head the column, will bring up in the rear, I am afraid. That is because so many of Massachusetts young men have come west and left nobody but the old maids and old fogies behind"

COMMON CLOTHES MOTH.

unusual to see careful housewives chaS- ing every moth that chanced to fly about tho evening lamp, regarding ne;- iher si2c nor appearances. And yet it is not uncommon to find tho delicate little moths about wOolenS that have been long infested, and very little thought would convince any one that the very much larger moths which fit about the lights cannot be the same. Moreover, every housckeeper knows that clothes moths prefer darkness to light, and a little thought would arouse suspicion that insects with this preference would not be likely to be attracted by lights. As a matter of fact, they are not. but if they chance to be flying about they choose the darkest parts of the room.
 There are three species of clothes moths. The most common is the species the larv;c cf which has the habit of making for its protection case or tube from the wooden on which it feeds. This moth is well shown i'll an illustra tion i'll bulletin from the Vermont ex- pertinent station on household pests, in which ;,Tc illuHtratcd the full grown moth. larvip ill its CaSc and larvR with out its case, all being much enlarged. The general color of tho moth is light brown cn the front wings and silver gray on the h;nd wings.

Thc moth Is uf about the. same size as the pre- ,c,iing, and the ex- banded wings are half an inch across The general color of tko moth is light yellow, and there urC no dark spots. The larvse is small white worm with a brown head. It is the most common species in thr suuth.

Rev. Anna shaw on sufrrage.

Ill an interview with Anna Howard Shaw. R. D.. published in the Denver Rcpublic"u. sh" expresses some very chccrfl views of the growth of senti- mcnt favor of suffrage. On the pros pcct .ur suffrage i'll the east. Dr. Shaw says:
 It is strong enough iE any northern state to carry the measure, were it not for the partisan attitude of the political parties. Each party is afraid to take it up, and cach Is afraid that if the other dues take it up they will gain some ad- vantage from it. The main reason for our defeat i'll Kansas last fall was, think. the fear of the Populists, who had l., ,Id that Colorado women were all working against their party, that the same thing would happen ill Kansas.
 The danger i'll New York is from the foreign element. If we could wipe out New York city until after the cleo tiOn, think we could carry the state without doubt. It is remarkable fact that in tho districts where ignorance and vice are the strongest the vote against suffrage is the heaviest. The public work into which the women haYs

X New Dress Lining.

Dame fashion dccrees that the skirts worn ill 1895 should be lined, preferably with silk. But even this best of all ma terials has its drawbacks. It is costly, and generally it is apt to split. An ad- mirable substitute, recently imported, is the merveilleux lining. At 6 first glance it would naturally be mistaken for silk, the surface displaying thoroughly silk like effect. Stuffs possessing this great merit havo been brought out before, but i'll time the silkeu aspect was wont to vanish. Now, the mcrveilleuX, after much wear, is just as silky to the eye and touch ;ls at first It is firmly woven, compact, and has the qualifications of skipping" well, which dressmakers, professional and amateur, will appreci-

Southern women and Bicycles.

The women of the southern states have been lnul,. slower than their north s-r sisters i'll the utilization of the bicy. cle. They arc affected by the conscrva tism Uf tie south, which looks askanCG at any no! city, and very many of them vet think that bicycling iS highly i'm proper for II wunan We have frequent lv n0tic,d remarks tu this effect in south cru papers, and W" rcr"ntly learned that women i'll several places there had been brought under social discipline for bi cycling.
 The proligi"us cycling boom of this year ill New York has already told upon the south.
 By this time there are lots of women bicyclers in Virginia and Georgia. There are a smaller number i'll Alabama and Louisiana. There are fewer yet in South Carolina. There are very few ill Arkansas. We have not heard of any in Mississippi. The northern women ill Florida have introduced the wheel there. We do not believe that the conserva- tism of southern women can much lon ger resist the wheel. The Texas and North Carolina girls seem to be ready for it. We think it is bound to attract the fair sex even ill the Bayou State. It is not undignified for woman tc ride the bicycle. She does not lower herself by wheeling. To ride upon it al full speed does not cut into the pride oi womanhood. That pride exists in the north not less than in the south. New York Sun,

WAGONS WITH WIDE TIRES.
Dealers Report Increasing Demand
 From the Farmers.

Dealers Report Increasing Demand
 From the Farmers.
 While the movement for improved highways has not yet accomplished what was expected of it ill some sections of the country, the agitation of the ques- tion has served to educate the people not only in relation to the valuo of good roads, but also us to tho means of pre- serving serviccable highways when once secured. It is now generally recognized that the use Uf wagons with wide tires is one of the indispensable aids to the maintenance of permanently good roads, and the near future will undoubtedly witness the practical assertion of the narrow tire for all heavy wagons.
 The extent to which the value of wide tires has come to be recognized is shown by the fact that during the past l2 months the legislature of nearly every state, including Vermont, has been asked to pass bill providing for the compulsory adoption. The state of New Jersey has already adopted law of this kind, and it is reaping the benefit in the possession of the best roads in the country. With wide tires in general use even the present country roads will i'm prove, for wide tires serve as rollers to make the roadbed more compact instead of cutting deep ruts as do heavily loaded wagons on narrow tires.
 While tho laws proposed are in some instances commendable as to some of their features, the chances are that this problem ill many states will be left tC work out it's own solution. It is a sig nificant fact that farmers ill Vermont as we'll as elsewhere are generally buy , ing wide tire wagons, because they art convinced of the many advantages of tht increased width of tire for themselve. as well as for the public highways Wagon dealers say a surprisingly smal number of heavy draft wagons with mar TOW tires are now disposed of in tht market, and it is not impossible that by the end of the present century, n httl' over five years hence. the narrow tirl may have practically disappeared as [ subject of lagislntica-- Bnr Iinston Ere | Rress' Ir

woman's Advent In Cornell.

The alumni of Cornell university have nominated Miss Mary Carey Thomas for one of the trustees This is probably the first timo i'll the history of any of tho leading universities i'll this country that a woman haS been named for trustee Miss Thomas WAS graduated from Cor nell in lN71, and is now president of Bryn Mawr College For Women. She wlS made dr.in of that college when it Was opened in ISS1, and Was elected president in 1893.
 The legislature which has just ad- journrd passed q law allowing the Cor nell alumni tn elect five additional trus- tees thi, N,.;r. Every wear after this they will rl,'t two trustees instead uf one as heretofore. In recent years there has been very little contest for this honor among the alumni. rarely more than two candidates being presented. As soon as the new law went into effect there was great scramble, Ill all. l5 candidates for the five places Were named.
 The alulrnp of the institution at once decided that they ought to be represent ed i'll the board of trustees. Correspond enCe Was started. and after a confer ence of names proposed they settled ulen Miss Th0maS as the woman grad nate of Cornell best fitted by her train ing and requirements to fill the place. A once a campaign was started. Wom- en graduates in all the large cities in the country were enlisted ill the work.
