o'clock this morning the Republica n
State committee, after much discussion,
elected Col. William Lamb, of Norfolk,

vacancy on the national committee from
Virginia. Colonel Lamb accepted his
election In q graceful speech, promising
to do all in his power for the good of

committee adjourned.
The meeting was by no means the
love feast that some thought it would
be,and q great deal OF dissatisfaction ia
expressed over the result. A PROM
iuent member Of the committee stated
that the election of Colonel Lamb to the
dual position can the disruption of
the party In tnis State. He said the
Colonel's opponents had nothing against
him personally and most of them were
willing to give him his choice of one of
the two positions. They were strongly
opposed, however, to letting him All

Caseneuve's Rival.

Although the French courts are con-
Quoted with more ceremony than our
own, they are occasionally enlivened by
amusing incidents.
Maitre C%aseneuve, a famous advocate
Of Toulouse, now dead, had a pet dog,
Of which he was very fond. One day he
ventured to take this dog, which was
small, and named Azor, into court with
him. He seated Azor at one end Of the
bench assigned to the counsel aud be-
gan an argument.
Maitre Caseneuve had q high pitched
voice, and as he warmed up with his
plea he raised it to a loud tone. Azor
could stand it no longer. He stood up
on the bench and howled-wow! WOW
WOW!
Maitre Caseneuve moderated his voice
and cuffed the dog "aside," whereupon
Azor subsidized into silence. The lawyer
argued on, and by and by, forgetting
himself in his earnestness, raised his
voice once more to a high pitch and a
loud tone.
"Wow! WOW! wow!' howled the
little dog once more
This time the lawyer stopped short,
turned to the dog and eyed him severely.
"See here, Azor," he said aloud,
''this can't 60 on. If you are arguing
this case, you'd better do it alone, but il
I am then you've got to keep still"
After that Azor held his peace

A LAST DITCH.
How the Woman S~uffragists Have Take
the Bull by the Horns.

How the Woman Suffragists Have Taken
the Bull by the Horns.
Susan B. Anthony has assumed a po-
sition that is truly advanced. At large
gathering of equal suffrage women in
Topeka, she drafted and had passed q
resolution setting forth that, as the mer
Of Kansas had refused to permit women
to vote, it was the duty of every self re-
speeding woman in the state to fold her
hands and refuse to help any moral, re-
ligious or charitable reform until the
adjective male" is stricken from the
constitution.
This resolution, which received o
unanimous vote, will do more, if carried
out conscientiously, than anything wo-
man has yet done to liberate her sex
from the irksome duties that appertain
to a moral, religious or charitable life.
Susan, to put it plainly, has taken the
suffrage bull by the horns. When a wo-
man puts her foot down and says dis
tinctly that if she cannot have her own
way, then she will not bother about such
things as moral, religious or charitable
obligations, you may know, as the OLD
saying is, that she doesn't care whether
school keeps or not.
Viewed calmly, this is a straight cut
to complete emancipation. The spectacle
Of 100, 900 resolute Kansas women with
their hands folded, stubbornly refusing
to do unto others as they would be done
by and dismissing all interest in their
immortal souls to get square" with
man, is one to make the saints squirm
and the devil chuckle.
Susan B. Anthony is a t~ireless fighter,
and she appears to have taken to the
last ditch. New York World.
