SOCIETY WOMAN'S PLAN.
Deserts the New York Fashion Whirl
for a Typewriting Venture.

New York, March 2S.-Miss- Elizabeth
MarQuand in sOciety'S latest addition to
the ranks of the business women. She
has deserted cOtillOn for typeWriting,
and has a spacious office in the Consta-
bic building, at Fifth avenue and Eigh-
teenth street. Only a few of Miss Mar
quands intimate friends know of her
business venture.
Early in January she began her work
and on May 1 the name of z. NJ. Mar
quand will replace that of Taylor on
her office door. She purchased the bus
mess at the beginning of the year, but
arranged that her name should not ap-
pear until after she had learned it
thoroughly.
An expert typewriter herself, she has
had more business than she could per-
sonally attend to, and has been obliged
to employ five assistants. Her work
is chiefly for architects. Her knOwl-
edge of architecture and her fOndness
for art have been of inestimable value
to her.
Miss -Marquand is a brilliant woman
and has had all the advantages that
wealth could give. She is a fine lin
gust, and a pianist of much ability. Her
father, Joseph Marquand, is a nephew
of Henry G. Marquand, whose name is
always associated with the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and who is one of
Americas greatest patrons of art.

ELIMIN THE CoLORED
VOTE

After an effort extending over many
weeks, the Louisiana constitutional con-
vention has finally hit upon a plan,
which, it is believed, will eliminate the
colored voters from participation in the
political affairs of the state.
This has been accomplished in other
of the southern states in one way and
another, but Louisiana people seem to
have desired something more effective
and more permanent than has yet been
devised aside from the use of shot guns.
This latter method has been subject to
criticism, and besides was not always
pleasant.
The greatest difficulty that has con-
fronted the constitution makers was to
deprive the cOlored population of the
election franchise by law without at the
same time affecting the status of the
ignorant white voters of whom there
are a large number in the state. The
basis of the proposed action is an edu-
cationaI qualification and how to make
it apply to one class and not the other
was the question.
The problem has been solved at last,
unless the courts shall interfere when
the matter is tested, which, of course,
it will be.
In the clause of the new constitution
relating to the qualifications of voters,
it is provided that all persons who were
legal voters prior to 1867, their sons and
their grandsOns, shall be legal voters
under the new constitution regardless
of their ability to pass the educational
test. Prior to 1867 the franchise had not
been conferred on the colored race. The
effect is apparent.
If this clause of the constitution shall
stand as it is written, Louisiana viii
have a white mans government, al
though a large majority of the white
voters may be as ignorant as their dis
franchised black neighbors.

ENORMOUS COPPER LEDGE
Found in Low Hills, so Miles From
Phoenix.

Phoenix, Ariz., March 28.-One of the
most notable strikes of this years pros
pecting has been made in some low
desert hills, five miles north of the ella
river and so miles southwest of PhOe-
nix. 1t is of copper, and is declared by
its finder the mother Lode of the cop
per of Arizona.
The discovery was made only a few
days ago by r. A. Warford, who is now
in Phoenix with a few bags of samples
for assay. The samples are unifrmly
free carbonate, with a considerable per-
centage of iron oxide, and run above Is
per cent in copper, with more than a
trace of gold. The ore from the bottom
of several 1O-fOot prospect pits is higher
grade and much denser than that at the
top. Warford asserts the ledge is 100
feet in width in places and that it can
be traced across the desert for miles,
even through alluvial deposits. He is
absolutely sure he has a pay streak
that will run 20 per cent of metal 20 feet
wide. The vein dips at a As degree an

THE VITAL ORGANS.
rHE KIDNEYS ARE THE MOST
IMPORTANT ExCREToRY Or
CANS OF THE BODY.
Morrow's Kidn colds are Known to Be
the Most Wonderful Remedy Ever
Discovered for the Cure of All
Known Diseases of the
Kidneys.

A remedy that will cause apparently
dead and worthless organs to bristle
with life. health and energy and to per
form their functions properly. is truly
a remarkable medicine. Owing to the
extraordinary work demanded OF the
kidneys and their natural delicacy, no
remedy can be more a boon to mankind
than the one that will make the kid
neys do their work thoroughly and
without injury to themselves. That
remedy is MOrrow's Kidneoids, prepar-
ed in yellow ia blet form.
Morrow's Kidneoids have demon
strated that they are the best and
most effcacious remedy in the whole
world for curing those dreadful dis
eases, produced by overworking and
straining those delicate organisms.
known as kidneys.
OF all organs of the body the kidneys
have the most important functions to
perform and therefore. require the
greatest care. Like all machinery they
are able to do a little more work than is
their normal portion, but they cannot
stand this necessarily and must not be
imposed upon. They are so refined and
delicate in their structure that the least
over taxing of any other part Of the
human body is apt to produce in them
serious troubles, which, If not attend
ed to at once, will lead to serious COM
plications, resulting soon in death
Eating too much, drinking too much,
irregular habits, lifting heavy weights,
exposing ones self to drafts and bad
weather and a thousand and one other
excuses and indiscretions affect the
kidneys, making them sick and puny
and thereby spreading throughout the
system poisons, that would in health be
thrown off.
1HorroW's Kfdneoids are a revelation to
the medical profession and pharmacists
-bothin the process of making them and
their efficacy in all kidney troubles
which they are guaranteed to cure, no
matter of how long standing. They

Only Railroad Shops of Importance
in the Territory at Shawnee.

Guthrie, March 28.-The shops which
have Just been erected for the Choctaw,
Oklahoma & Gulf, at Shawnee, 0. L,
are the only railroad shops in the In
dian or Oklahoma Territories of import
ance.
The main building is 90X28O feet the
extreme end of the building on the
right is used for freight repairs, three
tracks being devoted to this purpose
The next five tracks are used Tor the
engine house; beyond this is the black
smith shop, 40 feet in length, and the
remainder of the building, 80 feet in
length, is used for the purpose of a ma
chine shop and erecting tracks A long
building at the left is the stOreroom and
office, while a building behind it is used
for wood working. The other buildings
include the coach paint shop, boiler
house, oil house and saWmlu. All the
buildings except the sawmill, which IS
of iron are of brick and stone.
The machinery is new, OF the latest
improved patterns. The equipment IN
cludes a belted air compressor from
which compressed air is piped to all
parts of the buildings and yards. All
of the tracks entering the main build
ing lead from a Y, which makes a very
convenient arrangement and does away
with the necessity for the use of a turn
stile. 1t is expected that a contract viii
soon be let for fitting up the shops,
yards and adjacent station with com
pIete electric lighting plant, located on
the shop grounds.

$4,000 NUGGET FOUND.
Big Strike on American Greek, Alaska
30 Tons of Gold to Come
Down in June.

Vancouver, B. c., March 28.-The
steamer Pakshan, which arrived from
Skaguay, Alaska, had among her pas
sengers four men direct from Dawson
City. They were Messrs. J. F. Denham,
of San Francisco; B. Tung of Tacoma,
Sid LaSalle of Leadville and A.C. Good
win of Los Angeles.
They report a stampede for the Amer
lean side below American creek. This
section, they claim, will beat the Klon-
dixie. Pay dirt is more easily divided
and shallower. A SIS, 900 nugget has been
found on Ell Dorado creek, they say.
1t is estimated by them that 40 million
dollars in gold will be brought this sea-
son.
In speaking of the finding of the So
600 nugget, Mr.. Goodwin said:
THAT sounds like a tale, but it is a
fact. The nugget has considerable
quartz mixed with it and is as big as
small pail"
The owners name, Mr. Goodwin said,
is being kept dark, as he hopes to get
it out intact without paying royalty on
it. Several rich strikes have already
been kept a secret for similar reason
The party left for Dawson on February
Is.
In recounting the events of the jour
ney Goodwin stated that for the first
600 miles the cold was intense and traV-
cling extremely difficult. Al the con-
f1uence of the Stewart and Yukon rivers
they met the northwest mounted police
detachment with 700 pounds of mail

gold will be brought out in June when
navigation opens.
The country around Dawson was
black with smoke from fires burning to
thaw the frozen ground. Claims are
frequently changing hands. Quite re-
Gently the Healy company had paid
Niger JIM 1925, 900 for three claims
on Bonanza creek. Claims on Bear and
Dominion creeks, on Indian and klon-
dixie rivers respectively had been sold
as high as $4,000.
On bunker creek 500, 500 had been paid
for a half interest by man named EI-
lott and $4,000 for a whole claim. Skin
Mitchell, owner of No. 1 Ell Dorado, was
buying several claims on Hunker When
they left at a high figure. In Dawson;
$50 per cord was the price paid forwood
Before the party left many reports
were coming in of richness Of Clarence
Bersy's claims on the hiIlsides OF FL
Dorado.
Reports were also being received ev-
cry dav of rich finds on American creek
on the American side. Rosebud creek
is also drawing much attention
None of the party brought out mucn

at Dawson for gold at $3.50 per ounce,
and very few would pack dust under
these circumstances
