Something entirely new in qualifica-
lions for suffrage is about to be given
trial in Louisiana. The provision
finally adopted, not without opposition,
REQUIRES an educational test for suf-
frage, but makes an exception where
the illiterate voter possesses property
or his wife has property. Exception
is also made in case Of foreigner nat
uralized prior to the first Of this year,
and in the case of an illterate voter
whose father or grandfather was a
voter In Louisiana or some other State
previous to Jan. /, 1867. With voting
where suffrage Is granted because OF
the electors garden patch or his
wife's mules we are familiar, for sew
eral States have similar property quail
fications. But the plan Of permitting
man who cannot read and has no
mules to vote simply because his
grandfather was voter more thar
thirty years ago is decided innoya
ton. The proposal would be amusing
were 1t not so serious. In business life
young men frequently bank on the
credit of their fathers, and in social
life there Is a tendency to rely on
grandfathers or more distant ances'
tors. This, however, Is the first sug'
gestion of hereditary qualification
for suffrage In any American State
1t certainly is not suggestion of the
surviving grandfathers, for few of
them would care to continue voting in
definitely through illiterate descend
ants. This strange suffrage qualifca-
ton is of doubtful validity. A majority
Of the delegates opposed it, but accept
ed 1t as compromise. Both of the
United States Senators from Louisiana
have declared it unconstitutional from
Federal standpoint, and a number OF
other Senators consulted denounce 1T.
If 1t is finally tried and sustained what
new and strange suffrage quali1catlon
may we not expect from the next con-
stitution-making body2 ---.-'

with his surroundings and in haste to
be rich, recently sold his land and start

later a French mineralogist discovered
near the desp!sed ranch mine Of CO.

whole district promises to become q

land sold to enable the former owner to

ed by rubbing almond oil thorough
ly into the nails and finger ends on re-
firing at night. A pair of old kid
gloves must then be pulled on.
A teaspoonful of semon juice in
cupful of tepid water whitens and sup
pies the nails and removes all grease
and dirt, making tn I'm more easy to
polish. This should be used every
morning, and by soaking the fingers
few moments it is Pc isible to make the
nails perfectly clean and transparent
without the use of any metal cleaner,
by simply rubbing ulder them with
towel. 1t is also beneficial in remoy-
ing the skin around the nail edges,
which should never be cut with scis-
sors. Rub the fowl firmly all about
the nail, pushing back the skin. Do
this regularly every day, and after
few weeks the skin growth will disap-
pear.

SECOND LADY IN THE LAND.


She Defeated the British Ambassa-
dor in n Fight for Precedence.
Mrs Hobart, the wife of the Vice
President has won great social tri-
umph. Sir Julian Pauncefote has CIV
en- up his contention that as the per-
sonal representative of the Queen of
England he should have precedence
over the Vice-President. Obeying in
structions from London, he called on
Vice-President Hobart and hereafter
will occupy the second place at din
ners where Mr.. Hobart is a guest.
Heretofore the representative of her
Britanic majesty in this country, has
claimed precedence over every official
in this country except the President.
AS the representative of Queen Vic
toria he claimed the right Of the place
Of honor next to the president of the
United States. While this claim has
always been disputed yet at the same
time it has been acquiesced in espe-
cially by those giving dinner parties
and who desired the presence of the
British ambassador. Sir Julian car
ried the point Sc far that he declined
to pay the first visit to the vice presi-
dent. Vice President Stevenson fol-
lowed the custom as he had found it
and left his card at the English embas-
sy before the representative of the
queen called upon him.

plucky wife, backed by an immense
fortune, as well as by the president,
refused to do this, and even went far
ther to claim tAe place of honor at
the right of a hostess who might be
giving a dinner at which both he and
Sir Julian wee invited. Several
times last spring the British ambassa
dor asked for diagram of the table at
which he was expected to sit, and
when he found The name CT the vice
president preceding his, declined the
invitation. The matter became so en-
barrassing that President Mckinley
was called into the dispute He and
Mr.. Hobart agreed to leave the matter
to the English foreign Office and to
abide by its dec! sion. Through a pri-
vate correspondence between President
Mckinley and Ambassador Hay, the
matter was laid I an unofficial way be-
fore the British foreign office, with the
result that Viz e-President HobGrt's
contention was sustained.
