TRAVEL a PLEASURE THEN. SOUTHERN WOMEN VOTED
If They Owned Property and Were I'm
married. They Could Vote.


If They Owned Property and Were Un-
married, They Could Vote.
Kentucky, which in 1856 made
voters of widows and spinsters who
were holders of real estate, only fol-
lowed the footsteps of Maryland,
which had done the same thing 80
years before. I have not the authori-
ties at hand which would enable me
to give exact dates, but about the
year 1890 unmarried women who
were holders of real estate to given
amount were entitled to vote, and
did very generally exercise the right
of franchise.
In colonial days the states of the
south generally made the ownership
of property requisite to the exer-
else of the right of franchise, while
the New England colonies generally
made church membership a neces-
sary qualification of the voter. Fol
lowing the idea that only property
holders should vote, it was natural
step to conclude that all property
holders should vote. Maryland,
therefore, decided that where the
ownership Of property was vested in
a woman who had not a husband to
represent her she should be voter.
I have many times heard my
grandmother tell of voting during
the days of her widowhood and de-
scribe the manner Of exercising the
franchise in those days. There was
but one voting place in the county,
and all the voters were required to
/ go to the county, town to cast their
votes. She lived in the county Of
Talbot, and the voting place for the
entire county was Easton, the coun-
ty seat. There was no casting of a
ballot, nor was the system like the
viva voce vote which prevailed in
Kentucky until a few years ago, but
the candidates for Office sat in the
election room, and each voter was
expected to look them over and Sc
lect the one for whom he or she de-
sired to vote, and the clerks made a
record of the decision. Candidates
for state offices were expected TIC
have representative in each county.
These were leading people of the
party to which the candidates be-
longed, and each one was expected
to be we'll qualified to discuss the
merits of the candidate no represent
ed. In those days the elections last
ed four days in order to give ample
time for every one to get to the vot-
ing place. Some time late in the
forties the spirit of progress required
a sweeping away Of the barriers
which the property qualification had
set up, and a constitutional conven.
ton decided in favor of giving the
ballot to every white male voter
who had reached the age Of 81 years
AS the right Of a woman to vote was
based on the idea of property quail
fcation when that was swept away
she lost the ballot.
1 merely recall this fact to show
that Maryland, which was the frs
colony to guarantee religious liberty
to all her people and which took thu
first steps toward securing the pres
ent constitution of the United States
was also the first to give the ballo
to woman.-Boston Transcript.

DEATH OF GLADSTONE.

Funeral at Church Where He Was Mar
ried More Than Half Century Ago.
HAwARDEN, May 19.-Mr. Gladstone
died at o'clock this morning.
About 4 o'clock quick movements
about the castle and quick glimpses Of
people passing hurriedly to and fro be-
fore the lighted windows gave evidence
that the supreme moment could not be
far off.
Naturally it was impossible. to obtain
information, as all those in the castle
were near the death chamber. At
o'clock the long watch ended and the
final bulletin was brought announcing
that Mr.. Gladstone had passed calmly
from one sleep to another.
The following bulletin was posted at
a. NJ: elm the natural course of
things the funeral will be at Hawarden
Mr.. Gladstone expressed a strong wish
to have no flowers at his funeral and
the family will be grateful this desire
is strictly respected
DIR. Dobie says Mr.. Gladstone breathed
quietly all night and passed away quite
peacefully.
LONDON, May 19.-All the papers
were out with special editions in heav
lily loaded borders, announcing the
death of Mr.. Gladstone.
Mr.. Gladstone had been unconscious
practically all day yesterday, although
at times he seemed to recognize for a
moment some of the watchers about
him. Certainly be did recognize hi
wife, who was beside him all day, ex-
cept when the physician prevailed on
her to rest. She tenderly clasped her
husbands hand as she watched him.
Apparently he slept good deal. Occa-
sionally he uttered a few words in an
incoherent, dreamy way-words which
those who were watching were unable
to catch. Their consolation was that
he was not suffering pain. No narcotics
were administered.
Though national funeral will prob
ably be accepted by the family, there is
little doubt that the remains of Mr..
Gladstone will be laid at rest at Hawar-
den, adjoining the church where he was
married more than half century ago.

The BurIington's New Trains

Railroad men who have had the
privilege of examining the four
new trains which the Burlington
Route, on the LIST of May, placed
in service between Denver and
Chicago say they are rs magnifi-
comfy equipped as any in the
country-that even the famous
limited expresses between Chicago
and New York are not handsomer
or more luxurious. Every car is
wide vestibuled, and was built es-
pecially for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are identical in
appearance and arrangement
Each is composed of buffet
smoking-hbrarycar, palace sleep
ing-car, and two reclining-chair
cars. The understanding library
car is something new for a Denver
Chicago line. 1t is a veritable
clubhouse ON wheels, where one
may read, write, smoke, talk or
play cards, while travelling at the
rate of fifty miles an hour. 1t is
handsomely carpeted and furnish
ed with settees, cushioned easy
chairs, a layatory. writing-desk.
a compartment for card-players,
and well-stocked buffet. The
current periodicals and news
papers are ON file, and a carefully
selected library is provided for the
free use of passengers. The sleep
ing car is a gem, and the chair
and dining-cars are in every way
worthy of the train of which they
form an important part.
The Burlington Route takes
palatial trains through to Omaha
and Chicago in marvellously quick
time. Leaving Denver at $50
a. m today ON one of them you
are landed in Chicago at 2:I5 to-
morrow aftealoon, there making
close connections with trains for
ali points east. The running time
from Denver to Chicago is only
twenty-seven and three-qunrter
hours. just how fast that is viii
be best understood when it is
stated that it is almost five hours
faster than the fastest schedule
in effect prior to February5, 1898.

The new revenue measure and
its workings will doubtless afford
considerable material for interest
ing study. The effect upon per-
sons of frugal minds will be
amusing in some cases. When these
penny-savers realize that every
check they draw viii cost them
two cents they viii display re-
markable and hitherto latent con
sideration for their banker. They
will doubtless cease to draw checks
for frnctions of dollar, for
instance. Instead of making ten
dollars cover half dozen checks
they will draw the amount in cash
and disburse it to their creditors
in that form. The tax ought to
take a small percentage from the
account of large firms and corpora
tions that invariably pay by check
only. But it is a question whether
people viii be patriotic enough to
draw small checks when il costs
them two cents draw.
