The Curious Origin OF Woman's Right to
Prcpose in Lean Year

The Curious Origin OF vVoman's Right to
Propose in Leap Year.
Some one asked me the other day
the origin of the privilege being &C.
corded to women to propose during
leap year, says writer in an English
paper. Not being all fait with the
subject, handed the question on to an
energetic friend, who undertook to
look the matter up and let me know
the result. This is what she discov-
cred:
1t appears that in the year 1888 a
statute was published by the Scotch
parliament, ordaining that during the
reign Of Her Maist Dlessit Majestic
Margaret every maiden and lady of
high and low estate should have lib
erty to speak to the man she liked. If
he refused to take her to be his wife
she should have the privilege of filming
him one hundred pounds, or less, &C.
cording to his estate, unless he could
make it appear that he was betrothed
to another woman, in which case he
would be free to refuse. After the
death of Margaret the women of Scot.
land became clamorous for their priv
ileges, and to appease them another
act of parliament allowed them to pro.
pose every fourth year.
The reply to the query as to why the
limit is now restricted to seven years
comes not SO trippingly to the tongue,
but doubtless some other energetic
soul can furnish the key to this little
DuZZ1e

Moorish Women Sometimes Let These
Screens KALI.
Writing about Moorish women, Rich
ard Harding Davis says: 'There is
something continually interesting in
the muflled figures of the women
They make you almost ashamed OF the
uncovered faces of the American wom-
en- in the town, and, in the lack OF any
evidence to the contrary. you begin to
believe every Moorish girl you meet is
as beautiful as her eyes would make II
appear that she is =
''Those of the girls whose faces saw
were distinctly handsome: they were
the women Benjamin Constant paints
in his pictures Of Algiers, and about
whom Pierre Lott goes into ecstasies
in his book on Tangicrs. ;,
1.-THE robe or cloak. or whatever the
thing is they affect, covers the head
like a hood, and with one hand they
hold one of the folds in front of the
face as high as their eyes. The only
times ever saw the faces of any of
them were when l occasionally eluded
Mohamcd and ran off with a little
guide called Isaac, the especial pro-
tector of two American women, who
farmed him out to me when they pre-
ferred to stay in the hotel.
He is particularly beautiful youth,
and I noticed that whenever he was
with me the cloaks of the women
had fashion of coming undone, and
they would lower them for an instant
and look at Isaac, and then replace
them severely upon the bridge of the
nose. Then Isaac would turn toward
me with shy, conscious smile, and
then blush violently. Isaac says the
young men of Tangiers can tell wheth-
er or not girl is pretty by looking at
her feet. 1t is true that their feet are
bare, but it struck me as a somewhat
reckless test for selecting BRIDE"

Things Learned in the Nor,

The old keeper of the morgus\ lin thi
city, who has seen hundreds OF m
known bodies exhibited for identiA lea
ton, has arrived at some intcrestfI&
conclusions, says the Philadelphia RecS
ord. If the face Of the dead person is
perfectly composed and natural, Of
course, intimate friends or relatives
recognize them Immediately. But, he
says, if the face is distorted through
pain or disfgured by injuries, casual
acquaintance can identify the body
much easier than the closest relation.
He explains this by saying that people
who have known a person well for
long time lose sight Of the features and
,eo rather the personality reflected in
The lines Of the face. a casual ac-
as1aintance notes the features, and can
them when seen again, even
Il .onsideably distorted.

BoLTERs ARE RECOGNIZED.
Silver Men Invited tn Attend the Re-
publican Caucus Today.

WASHINGTON, Dec. when the de-
termination was reached TO hold a Repob-
lican caucus tomorrow. an interesting sit
uat5on al once presented Itself The silver
Republican senators who bolted the ST.
Louis platform and ticket were an I'M
known quantity in their political affiiia-
lions and whether or not 70 invite them 10
attend the Republican caucus was an IN
decided matter Many conferences were
held. Senator Chandler, OF New Hamp-
shire. being particularly active in recon-
mending that the boilers be notified of the
caucus. which was practically an invitation
20 attend Senator Chandler took the po-
sition that the votes OF these men would
be needed in passing tariff bill. Senator
Quay.it is understood. took the same view.
1t was finally concluded that notices
should be sent them as before.
This result placed the burden OF action
on the silver Republicans. They con-
ferred until late in the night in order TO
settle upon a line of policy. Senator Du-
bois. of Idaho. is. or was, secretary OF the
caucus. He will resign this place. as he
has been more active than any OF the 9TH
ers in the recent campaign and was one
of the most urgent in the advocacy of 4
bolt AT St. Louis
There has been a tendency among some
Republicans to pursue a conciliatory
course toward the silver Republicans. and
especially, as a number of them have de-
cfared in favor of protection. Senator
Mantle paper has been quite positive in
this direction.
II IS not believed that either Psttigrew,
Mantle or Cannon will attend the caucus.
though they would not be required to In
dicate their views.
The purpose OF the caucus is TO outline
programme for the session.
The caucus has been called for 10 o'clock
tomorrow.

BANKS TOO WIDEAWAkE.
Former seattle Pastor Offeuds the
BroOkly mites - VIII Leave
Hanson Place.

NEW YORK, Dec. Rev. DR.. Lewis
Banks. pastor of the Hanson Place Meth
odist Episcopal church Brooklyn. is about
10 leave that church. He gives as his rea-
son that he finds he cannot have the united
and harmonious support of all the official
members OF the church, which he had sup
posed he would receive when he accepted
their cali last June.
DIR. Banks was recently the Prohibition
candidate for governor of the state. and.
according to one OF the pastors friends,
his participation in politics offended some
of the church members.
Another partisan of the doctor declares
he is too go-ahead and modern a man for
the old-fashioned. conservative people in
the church. who want everything 20 go on
as IL did years ago.
Dr. Banks, who entered the ministry In
Oregon, has occupied pulpits In Seattle.

Frzoay night. when some unknown tends
enoeavored 10 blow three citizens OF

Sic mill OF the La Plant bFu5hers. situated
on the ane Of the Seattle s. International
railway.
The two brothers. J. c. and c. l.. Ia
Plant. and the engineer OF the mill. L. ID.
Walters occupied the same room in n
small building adjoining the mill. Shortly
aEter midnight they were aroused by
de2fening report. which seemed TO issue
from the floor beneath them. and before
either could jump from the bed they felt
themselves being suddenly lifted inSo the
ar This sensation was followed by
sinking feeling, and in another second the
three were hurled 10 the floor, though
ne5ther was spilled fragn their beds. wsaich

saving the occupant from serious injury.
The building, however was completely
wrecked. the beds having fallen through
the floor with the mass OF debris into

Chree proceeded 20 a neighbor's house,
located about quarter OF mile from
the mill Beyond u few bruises. and the
effects of having been stunned by the
force of the conclusion, the men were I'M
injured.
The force of the explosion was terrific.
and il is little short of a miracle that the
occupants of the house were not killed out
right, the building was a complete
wreck. the timbers being converted into
kindling wood. and the bedding and the
clothing that was hanging on the walls
being torn to shreds. Under the building,
almost in the center. was A large hole in

plcsion. The supposition is that the dyna-
mite was placed in a bag, ard then set
under the house. after which the fuse was
ignited.
There is not the shadow OF a doubt that
murder was intended, as everything in
dictated careful planning. That the inten-
tion nof the fiends who were the perpe-
traitors of the devilish attempt was not
successful is due TO no fault of theirs. but
owing TO the intervention OF kindly dis
posed providence.
There IS no clew that points 10 the au-
thors of the crime. but no effort will be
spared to bring them 10 Justice. Feeling
in the community runs high. and il the
perpetrators are discovered there can be
no doubt as to the mode of justice that
viii be meted out TO them. There is much
fear expressed among the people of Paine,
as IL is thought some enthusiastically in
clined assassin, with destruction as his
dictator, is prowiing about the vicinity.
ard that none are safe from being waited
into another world on the wings of
