The close attention with which the booths were
watched on the four registration days and Election

and reformers of all kinds accounted for to
great extent by the fact that rewards had been Of
Tered for the arrest and subsequent conviction OF
Vloators or the election laws. These rewards were
maze public and guaranteed by the city Club OF
which James c. Carter Is president w Bayard Cut

overheard his remarks and followed Negro to Brook

Mrs. Annie Besant Tells of Their Peculiar
Social Conditions and Education
Mrs. Annie Besant's observations Of
women in India. during recent visit
to that country. led her to think them
very intelligent. and. while their stand
ards and methods of education differ
materially from those In other coun-
tries. according to their own estimate
OF learning, many of the women are
highly educated. Reading and writing
are not a part of their education, how
ever, as all their knowledge is acquired
from "Pundits," who go from house to
house every week to give oral instruc-
tton in philosophy and literature to the
entire household. SO the memory is
wonderfully strengthened by this pro-
cess OF training the mind quickly to
grasp and retain all tho Information
entirely independent of books for ref
erence. Indian women are peculiarly
simple and childish in character, yet
very different from other Europeans of
the same class. Northern and southern
India, says Mrs. Besant, are two dis
tinct countries in all the laws and Gus
toms which AFFECT women. In the north
NAS 4 vi uhi 10 III Iuil poWtIs anu lne
women look upon any publicity as an
outrage, while in the south their posi-
tion is quite different, yet men and
women do not meet freely in society.
Mothers and grandmothers have great
influence and authority in the family
ard home life. and in outside affairs
as we'll, for an Indian will not act in
public matter against the advice of
either one. In southern India very
young children are married, and If the
infant husband dies his youthful widow
can never marry again.

On the lake front the new woman

times she comes sweeping by astride
