Woman Suffrage I'm Idaho.

BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 17.-From unofficial
sources it is learned that the woman s
suffrage amendment has majority OF
nearly 5000. Friends OF the movement all
over the State are jubilant. II is. how
ever, a question whether the amendment
las really passed, owing to the official rul-
ing on a similar question that came w
two years ago. AT the time a proposed
constitutional amendment segregating the
office OF probate and county school super
intendents was carried in the same way
but IL was held that the amendment was
lost because the vote in its favor was not
a majority of all those cast at that elec-
ton, though IT was a majority OF those cas-,
on that question. This rule is in effect tha.
votes not cast either for or against are Il
be construed as being cast against a meas.
ure. The question will be taken into court
as soon as possible.

When London was spattered with dew;
And you kept on your hat when presented
at court
Hence, Benjamin Franklin, go to!
And even If now you were given chance
Would you do the right thing and array
Yourself as you should; send monocled
glance
Over a mountainous mass of bouquet?
Nay, nay; such reform 'twere too much to
expect.
We know very we'll what you'd do.
Midst your books you would smile, though

Hence, Benjamin Franklin, go to!
They say that in letters you did great
work;
That proverbs and such things you
penned;
That dutys command you were ne'er known

That you ranked as humanitys friend.
But never a writer of history quotes
You as author of fIne billets doux;
And your paper contained no Society

THE PRUDENT MARLBOROUGH.
He Takes Out a big Policy on the
Life of the Duchess.
New York Recorder


The report that the young Duchess OF
Marlborough, nee Vanderbilt, was 10 have
her life insured for the benefit of the Duke
is confirmed in private letter. The
amount is 100000 An application has been
made, and a medical report submitted. but
so far as known the insurance companies
have not passed upon IL. The probabii-
tiles are that they will accept the risk
get other benefits. Besides. British COM
panies like TO mortgage the lives Of the ar
istocracy. This will be one OF the largest,
If not the largest. OF risks ever taken. II
will undoubtedly be underwritten by syn
dictate.
Two or three weeks ago a report was
cabled that the Duchess was III in Rome
and her condition was such that an emf
nent physician had beer summoned from
London. Both statements were promptly
denied, and the report was evidently based
aminers TO the Duchess. 1t was about that
time that Sir Dyce Duckworth, NJ d.,
IL D., honorary physician to the Prince or
Wales, received commission from the
Insurance companies representatives 10
proceed to Rome and examine the Duchess.
When Mrs. Hamersley married the late
Duke OF Marlborough here and went TO
live in London she expended 81 10000 in re-
storing the palace OF Blenheirn. and. by
way of indemnity. she, at the suggestion
of her American solicitors. took out poll
cy on her husbands life for 10000. II was
denied by the Marlborough family that
any of the Hamersley money was used TO
rejuvenate the palace, and IL was asserted
that the expense was borne by the Marlbor-
cugh estate Whoever circulated the story
doubtless had in mind the mortgage on. the
Dukes life.
Those close TO the Vanderbilts say that
they are not particularly well pleased by
this latest development. and Mrs Ava
Vanderbilt Belmont has written a very
matter-of-fact letter 10 her daughter on
the subject. Her father will probably have
his say in person when he meets the Duch-
ess and her Duke.

Turning from wars alarms 10 the latest

about this amazing discovery, which Is not
Yet fully explained. Like all great discoy-
cries, II has been 10 some extent antici-

years that the electric light or glow from
Geissler and Crooke's tubes possessed pecu-
liar chemical properties. Professor Routgen
has peen the man 10 nrst investigate and
turn TO practical use those qualities. He
found that from this electric source there
are emitted rays OF light invisible TO the
human eye, Just as IL is known that there
The reason OF this invisibility Is the fact
that ali or nearly all organic matter, such
as the human eye, is transparent to these

just as If no paper and seals and wooden
barriers existed. Such a discovery Is in

Last Sunday evening Professor Routgen
described his discovery and performed many
experiments before the German Emperor
and Empress at Potsdam- He locked up
coin in a strong wooden box, turned
Crooke's tube on the receptacle. anc the
Photographic plate on the other side took
a perfect impression Of the piece or money
as though Ii was suspended in the air
with nothing Intervening. The Emperor
was so much impressed by this and many
other experiments that he personally deco
rated the Professor with the insignia or
the Crown Order before the evening was
over.
For the last week experiments In the
same line have been in progress in all the
great laboratories and many photographs

fessor Doraalip. at Prague. and several
experimenters at Vienna have been sue
cessful. / have not heard that any Eng
