Mrs. Gatharine Waugh McCullooh, attorney at law, of Chicago, wrote a bright paper for parlor meeting of tho Rockford Woman g Suffrage association, in which she said eff the old common law under which we live in Illinois had not changed for the better during the past 25 years, life would be unbearable for even the most servile suffrage re- monstrant. We women workers owe our present. opportunities to work at fair wages in varied callings to those pioneers who asked first and always for the bal lot, which includes it all All honor to our benefactors, Susan B.

Many years ago John Brougham, Lester Wallaek, Artemus Ward end oth- CTS used to meet after tho play at Windhurst's, in Park row. One night the question, What rules the wor1d?9 arose, and various opinions were ex- pressed. William Ross Wallace, who was present. retired before long, and some time later called Thomas J. Leigh from the room and handed to him a poem which he had just written. Mir. Leigh read 1t aloud to tho company, and MT. Brougham made a happy little speech of acknowledgement. The thing was entitled What Rules the World, . md the first stanza ran;
 They say that man is mighty,
 He governs land and seq,
 He wields mighty seepter
 Der lesser pewers that be.
 But Q mightief power and stronger
 Man from his throne has hurled
 And the hand that rocks tho cradle
 Is tho hand that rules tho world.

NO IMPURITIES ARE FOUND.

DR.. Frank w. Reilly, when inter
viewed by reporter, said: aThe
health department has analysed the
various brands of cigarettes sold by
Chicago dealers, as provided by the
ordinance. with entirely satisfactory
results. No impurities were found in
any OF the fourteen brands examined
by the department. experts, DR.. Gehr-
mann and Professor Kenicott. Ex-
haustive analysis were made of every
brand of cigarette found for sale in
the city. All have been found to be
entirely free from opium, morphine,
jimpson weed, belladonna, atrophine
hyasyamina or other substances for
eign m pure tobacco. Neither was
there any Iced or arsenic found in the
paper wrappers.
CAS- a matter of fact there is moth
ing in any of the fourteen brands of
cigarettes on the Chicago market that
the smoker need be afraid of. The
tobacco nsed is bright Virginia. and
contains only about one-fourth as
much nicotioe as is found in cigars.
The less nicotine in the tobacco the
less LIKELIHOOD of ill effect upon the
nervous system. There is a greater
percentage OF nicotine in the average
smoking tobacco SOLD by the Chicago
tobacconist, or in a cigar. than in any
of the cigarettes sold."--Chicago

To Cnre Catarrh.

Do not depend upon snuffs, inhal-
ants or other local applications. Ca
tarrh is constitutional disease, and
can be successfully treated only by
means of a constitutional remedy like
Hoods Sarsaparilla. which thorough
ly purifies the blood and removes the
scrofulous taints which cause catarrh.
The great number Of testimonials
from those who have been cured Of
cetarrh by Hoods Sarsaparilla prove
the unequalled power of this medi-
cine to conquer this disease. If
troubled with Catarrh give Hoods
Sarsaparilla fair trial at once.

Total $9,22l,74O $2.67l,s4t Here Is revealed the astonishing fact
 that over 70 per cent of the stock capital
 of these companies has been issued for
 something beside cash, and hence may
 be said to represent nothing but wind
 and water.
 The bonded debt of these roads
 amounts to $s 690, 100, or over three
 times the amount of cash stock. This
 bonded debt alone, standing in com.
 parison with the total stock issue, would tell the story of what is going on-5he
 grabbing of franchises and issue of
 bonds thereon to build the roads, print ing presses are set to work to feed out a
 share capital, representing no value whatever, for purposes of extra profit, imitation and possible bribery.
 And all this the New Haven cores. pondent has to dig ont of the separate
 returns of the companies. The raiir lad commissioners report contains nc reference to the matter, the past year or the year before. That complacent body of persons was too deeply absorbed ap. parently in considering the number oi trespassers killed on the steam railway tracks in the state during the year. Outside the adventurers have been largely engaged in 'sworking' that fl eld. Of the total electric share capital ot $9.22l, TAO, s3 800, 900 is now held ont, side the state, and largely no doubt by the promoters. But they are gradually working of their irflated holdings OF the state; year ago over one-half Of the share capital was held outside the commonwealth.
 This watered capitalization will iu ] time of course pass into innocent hands and the ssrights'' of the monopolies 1T
 the matter of charges will all be gauged by the yearly revenue in it's relation te
 this totality of nominal capital. The stock waterers will have sold their water | at handsome figures, and made of, and the purchasers of the water must hence forward of course be considered legiti mate investors whose holdings are en ltisled to full consideration.

The state of Connecticut is most reck- lessly permitting the street electric com panies to play fast aud loose with the valuable public franchises so lightly and freely tossed about among them.
