WOMEN ONLONDON COUNTY
 - COUNCIL.

The announcement that the new lOC. al government act for London gives wo- men the right to sit on the London County CouncIl, marks the eud of a long controversy which has been fruit ful in amusing incidents. In 1888 when County Councils were first organized in England, women were given the right to vote for cOuncilmen It was taken for granted that the right to vote car- rird with it the right 10 serve on the c"hnclls; and two women very popular h London were immediately elected to the London County Council-Miss Jane Golden, Richard Cobden.s s daughter, who has since married Fisher Unwin, the publisher; and Lady MargPt Sand hurst, widow much beloved for her work among the London poor. The men who made up the majority of tie Council welcomed the two lady mem Der with cordiality, and appointed them on nrmber uf important com mittees. They fnrthur showed their | by electing Miss Cons an alderman part of the London aldermen being elected by the Council.
 Mir. Beresford Hope. the candidate who had been defeated by Lady Sand hurst, contested her election on the ground that women were not eligible A fter prolonged litigation he suCceede in onsting her and securing her seat, much 10 the disgust of the voters, who had elecieA in preference to hlm, by large majority.
 One Of the duties the Council has as- signed to Lady Sandhurst was the in spection and supervision of twenty three infant agyluns. 4 London paper dryly remarked that as Mir. BeresiOrd Hope thought there was no proper work or place for women on the CouncIl, It was to be hoped that the gentleman would find himself equal to the mother ing of all those babies. .
 An anti woman rights members of the Council brought an action against one of the lady members forillegaI vot- ing. He demanded the maximum fine, S25O,00 for every vote she had cast while serving as member of th9 Coun- ciI. The Court found exenuating err cnmstanres, however, and cut rhe fine down nne-haIf; and the Court of Ap peals finally reduced t to ten shillIngs- about 8 50.
 Hereafter the people of London will have the privilege of electing whom they please 10 the county cOuncii; and orphan babes in public institutions will not have to be mothered exclusive y by the men.

"At Home Again."

Smith and Miller, the two desperate convicts who esraped from the terri;or- ial prison last week, were captured last Monday by the station agent and section boss at Tacna, seventy miles east oi Yuma on the Southern Pacific. The "cons" had stayed in the brush on the Gila river bottoms until they were al- most famished for food, being almost a week without anything 10 eat. They had secured a partial outfit of citizens clothes and ventured oTt to the railroad with the intention of boardinga passing freight As they passed Tacna early in agent recognized them from the descrip- ton given by officers who had been hunt ing them. Sle immediately aroused her husband who had not yet arisen, and he, in company with the section boss and crew of labors, armed with winchesters and six-shooterS, gave chase on hand-car and soon overlook them The fugitives were unarmed, weary and hungry, and were captured without re- sistanre.

 Have had great chase since writing you in August. We started mp Beaver Greek in row boat with 4,000 pounds. After rowing up stream for several days we met man coming down who had been up some two hundred miles and we learned tina it was too late in the season to make a successful trip, so we concluded tu turn back and come down the Yukon river 10 thls place distance of about one hundred and seventy five miles.
 We built our selves cabin and pros pectcd all the fall, but ccnId find noth- ing that paid. 1 have two claims but will not work them this winter.
 l was offered $500 per day and board to work in a mine but preferred to go into the wood business during the cold weather, as wood sold last summer for SlO % and Sl2.00 per cord. The days very short here. 36 degrees below zero is the coldest as yet. There are 2,5OO inhabitants III Rampant Guy, and near ly all are prospecting, and few mines have been located that are worth from $l0,000 to $50, 900 each.

4 Boys Essay en Temperance,

Temperance" began Jefferson Davis, in voice admirably fitted for declam- atory purposes, ''is more profitable than whiskey. Whiskey costs ten cents glass, an you can get all the temperance yon wan for nuthin.' Some men all a drink of whiskey smile but I've not
 iced that temperance makes their wives smile heap oftener; an hasin't lived forever, either.
 ''Drinkin' whiskey makes man see all sorts of unprettv things, includin' red snakes, brindle toads, and ravenen hlgheerners, but who, oh! who wants to have d circus-shOw inside of him con tinualIy? Sober men have considerable of somethin' else to do. WhisF Fey is a monster that burns great ragged holes in your stummick as large as a hat. Temperance don't. It's delusion an Whiskey is. One drink makes you feel good, two drinks makes you think you are rich, and few more drinks makes you believe you are the Duke of Wellington. an can whip any body that ever wore hair That s whur you git fooled; you go out iookin' for trouble. an it don't take long for you to find sober gentleman who has got plenty of it to spare, An then yon sneak home an tell your poor, abused wife that you met with bear. A tenn perance man don't have to lie to his wife-he brings the bear home to prove it.
 "Whiskev steals away your brains an don't leave nothin' in tkeir places. l knowed d man once who E. so drunk on election day that he went to the polls an voted for Republican-it like to have killed him when he got sober an found what he had done an' it art to have! A sober man can most generally whip his wife whenever he thinks she needles it, but drunken husband gifts licked quite frequent by his wife of his bosom. From this we should learn to say 'No?' This is all know about tenn perance. ."-PuCk.

PULLING WIRES.
Why Does Mr. Breidenthal Continue
His Blufing.


John w. Breidenthal has protested
frequently against the statements of
the newspapers that he intends to be a
when interviewed that he had no de-
sire and would not enter the race for
the nomination
Mr. Credentials friends have re-
fused to accept what he says with re-
ference to this matter as final, because
they believe that they can persuade Mr..
Breidenthal to abandon his expressed
opinion in this matter and enter the
race.
Some of the Populists oppose Breid-
enthal because he has been the author
of several prosperity statements which
have been heralded by the Republican
papers with much energy Neverthe-
less he says the facts which he has
given out are reliable and based upon
actual figures and that these state
ments have not at any time had to do
with the political conditions under
which he would become a candidate for
governor
governor. This is taken as conclusive
partment r. II. SempIe. has been writ
ing letters upon the subject.
A Hill City POpulist exhibits a letter
in which he says he is requested to
fix Graham county for Breidenthal.
The contents of this letter We're made
public by the man who received it be
cause he is for another candidate for
governor.
The writing of such letters by Mr..
BreidenthaPs closest friend is taken as
conclusive evidence of his intentions.
