time, dying about 5. Is pm. Ourran was
unm arried and resided at No. so Ander-

WASTED SYMPATHY.
"A Correspondent Says Taxpaying Women
Don't Want to Vote.
lBath Times. }

(Bath Times.)
10 tne Editor of the Times:
After reading the editorial in yester-
days Times about the injustice of not
permitting women holding property to
vote, L am led to ask whether the Times
thinks 1T would be possible to restrict
woman suffrage to the property Gliding
class. Assuming the reply to be negative
| would remind you that the property
holding class Of women forms but q
small fraction of the whole number of
women. How could the wishes of that
small minority be made to prevail over
those OF the large majority9
| Again, very careful canvass of one of
the largest cities in our country showed
that every tax paying woman who coulo
be found was opposed to suffrage, on the
ground that her interests are
cared for by law fully as well as
are those of men. Indeed in
the state of New York a woman is
better protested by law than q man A.
A husband cannot sell his real estate un-
| less his wife joins in the deed. he cam
not deprive her by will of right of dover
But the wife can by deed or will dispose
OF her entire estate, real or personal,
whether the husband consents or not
In this very city of Bath. two years
ago more than six hundred women put
their names to protest against woman
sufhage-all in the space of three weeks
This list includes very large majority
of all our tax-payine women who earn
their living in various ways, club women,
| house wives, in fact thofe from every
walk in life. Too much sympathy is
evidently wasted on tax paying women,
since nearly all of them DO not think the
ballot needful to their interests. When q
majority of the women in any town be-
lieve the time has come when gave pub
lie duties ought to be added to the
burdens which even now exhaust the
strength of too many of our women. then
il will be time for action.

Applications Rapidly Coming In for the
New Encyclopedias Dictionary. III

The fame of tine New Revised Encyclo-
paedic Dictionary hae evidently preceded
it's distribution in this community, for
the announo ement in the PRESS, a few
days ago, that it could be secured on ex-
ceptionally easy terms has resulted in
numerous applications.
The evident desire on the part of the
public to possess the work has doubt
less been materially augmented. because
of the fact'th the American publishers
in order to introduce the work, have
offered limited mum Der of sets through
the PRESS on terms absolutely unheard
of for 80 valuable an educational work.
The Encyclopaedia is pu blished in four
large quarto volumes of over 5000 pages,
with numerous illustrations to explain
the definitions and to secure one Of these
few Introductory sets it is only necessary
to send a small sum to the PRESS as the
frst payment, and the complete get will
be delivered at once, the balance being
payable at the rate of five cents day.
But, of COURSE this nominal price Of
$40 applies only to the introductory sets,
for the subscription pilce of the book is
$40 per set. Even at this latter price the
| work has no competitor, for it is not
only the most recent and complete Eng-
| fish dictionary extant, but it is also the
most comprehensive encyclopaedia ever
published.
OF course, subjects are not treated at
I, hat bac IN rBp 10 t.hrQn or
page after page to CLEAN few needed
facts. The New Revised encyclopaedia
Dictionary contains all these facts, but
they are so concisely arranged that one
can easily find them in their proper
alph a betioal order, and thus this work is
| o great time saver.
Readers will also lie impressed with
| magnificent full page coloyed plates and
reproductions from photographs with
| which the work is enlhellished
Even all this wise condensation, the
volume of the work much exceeds either
Webster Or Worcester, and contains Is, 900
more words than the former and $4,000
more than the latter.
And when one considers that it is pos-
sibe to secure complete and perfect set
of his splendid publication at the rate OF
five cents per day, it would seem that the
book buyers millennium had arrived.
Such is really the case. but this most
favorable opportunity to secure work
of lifelong value at merely nominal price
viii pass when the introductory sets are
exhausted, at which time the regular
subscription price of s4a per set will pre-
vail.
