Woman Suffrage In Paris.
London Chronicle.

Women had the right, for the
first time, December s, OF voting in
Paris. They seem to have been for
the most part little DESTROYS of ex-
ercising the privilege, the occasion
of which was the election of new
magistrates. In the Second arron-
basement only three voted and a
similar number in the Eighth. Much
the same was the result in every
other ACCOMPLISHMENT, while in the
Quarter Latin, which might be
thought the very sanctum sanctor-
um of women's rights, not single
member of the fair sex took the
trouble to vote. The sole exception
to this otherwise general indifference
was the First reimbursement,
which comprises the Halles, or mar
kets, where several hundred women
gave their votes.

So far as we can learn, there will be
no celebration of any kind in Fair
mont next Monday. There has been
no arrangements made for a parade or
any kind Of public entertainment.
We regret that our people have not
had time to take up the sPeace Jubi-

probation of the soldier and sailor.
We acknowledge the receipt of an
invitation from the city council of
Morgantown 10 be their guest at the
Wallace house ca next Saturday even
ing to watch the old year out and the
new one in, we guess. Our last visit
TO the Modern Athens was one of glo.

and we are able to in slight degree
understand what is meant when the
cards indicate the Wallace house. 1t

Up through the day, and all freight

leaving one at Morgantown, Union
town and Connellsville. This is a
great convenience to the business
people, who appreciate this good bust
ness but very many times, and about
all the time, the car is switched off in
the yard somewhere and there it stays
for several days before finally being
placed for unloading. Such is the
complaint of the customers.
