The seething of Michigan's politica
 pot has not altogether subsided in con
 sequence of the recent election. It stil
 bubbles and misses and all because of :
 woman The woman in the case i!
 Mrs. Merrie L. Abbott, whose election
 as prosecuting attorney or OgemaN
 county by the silver democrats has brought her fame and no end of trou- ble The fame lies in the fact that she is the first woman ever elected prosecu-
 tor in Michigan, or in the world, for that matter. The trouble is that the republicans allege that her election was brought about by fraudulent means.
 The county went republican, the en- tire ticket being elected with the excep- tiOns Of Mrs. Abbott and the county clerk. Mrs. Abbott was nominated by the silver democratic county conven- ton as a joke Now the joke is on the jokers. She made canvass of tie county such as had never before been known. Bright as a steel trap, a ready speaker, witty and attractive in ap. pearance, she won votes by sheer strength of her personality. She says she will serve her term, but others Ghink differently.
 Attorney General Maynard says she will have to get an indorsement from
 
 Hutchins of the law department of the University of Michigan says she is clearly ineligible under the constitu- tiCn.
 IL is more than likely that she will have to fight her battle in the supreme court before beginning to prosecute the law breakers. She is a graduate of the law department of the University of Michigan. She is a clever. clear head cd lawyer, and is more than a match for most of her contemporary members of the bar. She is eloquent, and it is q very ungallant jury that can stand out against her arguments. The prose- cutOr-elect carried on her own cam- paign under the direction of the Oge- maw county committee. She went on the stump and drew immense crowds. Her speeches were witty and bright, | and she made votes wherever she went. 1
 But it is said the republicans will | the regularity of the vote in West Branch, so Mrs. Abbott will | have more than the ineligibility ques- | ton to answer before she can come into her own. Mrs. Abbott boiled a very big vote in West Branch, and was sup posed to be a sure winner until several | townships gave big majorities for Har- cis, her opponent. Finally, when there were but two more townships to hear rom the two candidates were tie One of these townships gave Mrs. Abbott thirteen majority and the other gave Harris thirteen majority, leaving the contest tie with all the returns in.
 Then, l. is 5ileged, the West Brancn inspectors broke the seaD of the Dallot )ox in which the tickets had been plac- ed after being counted and made re- count. This strangely enough, gave Mrs. Abbott a majority of six greater han was shown on the first count, and hat, too, in spite of the fact that the otal vote was less on the second count han on the first. These six votes rep 'esent her majority in the county New York Herald.

SPIDER IN HIS HELMET.
Queer Visitor on an English Major
 Brought From the Soudan.

Major Lawrie, who was married yes terday amidst a sympathetic concourse Of his brother officers in the Soudan campaign, is the hero of an interesting superstition. Before Atbara he discoy- cred in the ventilatOr of his helmet an energetic spider, which came out in the evening, and having had his supper of flies, returned to his hiding place Per haps remembering the story of Bruce and the spider, the major left his new friend unmOlested and went Into the Atbara fight with him. Men were kill ed all round, but Major Lawrie es- capped without scratch.
 At Omdurman he commanded a bat tery, and again was unwounded Mean while, the spider slumbered in his heI- met, waiting for this ridiculous human commCiion to cease that he might come out and kill flies for supper. When the hurly-burly was over Major Lawrie packed various articles to be sent home. and among them the helmet ard the spider. 100 late he remembered that he had sent his little friend on a long voyage without any larGer.
 In great tribulation he hastened to London, opened the helmet box, ex- pecting to find the spider a corpse. and was cejoiced to see him alive, and even Yigorous. Stranger still, on the way to England he (we beg pardon-she) had produced two young spidersl So pro- Iound IS the impression made by this story in the majors family circle that the most conspicuous gift of the brides mother to the bride is a diamond spi- der, who will probably take care of Mrs. Lawrie in her husbands absence and become priceless heirloom.- London Chronicle.
