4 Curious Anomaly That Has Just

A Curious Anomaly That Has Just
 Come to Light.
 Ethel C. Avery calls attention to the present unique status of Louisiana women, says the Woman's Tribune, as follows: "A curious anomaly has just come to light in Louisiana The late constitutional convention gave tax paying women the right to vote upon all questions submitted to taxpayers. It added a clause unique in the suf- frage laws of the county, that any woman who did not wish to go to the polls herself might give proxy to some one else to east her v2te for her. This was done out of chiyalrous regard for the women, who, it was thought. might shrink from contact with the polls. New Orleans is preparing to hold it's first election under the new law, to decide upon a tax levy for sewerage and drainage. An examin- ation of the assessors books reveals that there are more than 10000 tax paying women in New Orleans, and the mayor, the city council. the pres.- dent of the city board of health and other civic dignitaries have been elo- quently urging women to vote in fa vor of better sanitation for their homes. Some of the women thought they would rather vote by proxy; and this has brought to light the anomaly in question. If woman gives a cer- tifeate to proxy to vote for her the certificate must be signed by two com potent witnesses. Many New Osleans women are now finding out for the first time that by Louisiana law, which is based on the old law of France, q woman is not a competent witness to a legal document In Louisiana tax paying women may vote on the expen- allure of their taxes, and in this way are in advance of all the northern and eastern states. But while 8 woman may be voter in her OWL right or may cast a vote as proxy for another woman she is not legally competent to witness the signing of the certificate.

DID" THE OTHER REPORTER.

After Getting Capital Interview with
 the Governor
 A reporter named Jones on a daily T St. Louis was detailed to interview he governor of another state. who had slipped into the city on a secret polit- ical mission, says the Argonaut. He learned to his disgust that Jackson. the star reporter of a rival sheet. also proposed to call in an hour. Acting on inspiration, he sent Hp a card bear ing Jaeksons name and was promptly admitted. When he had learned all he wanted he asked, with gross Inten- ttonal impudence, whether the infor- nation was really true. The governor turned purple. "D'y' question my word?e he said. "Oh, don't get gay!" replied Jones airily. Common gov ernors cut no ice with my ofice." The old man loaned at the mouth "You insolent seoundrel, he roared, "get out of my rooms!" That was exactly what Jones wanted. and he went. Pres ent Jackson showed up Here. boy" he said pompously, take my card to the governor. When the old man looked at the pasteboard he nearly ex- pired. 'The blankety- -blanked infa- nous villain" he spluttered. q never heard of such blankety- -blanked eC- frontery in my life Tell that miscre- ant that if he CT anybody else from his internal paper comes up here I'll kill 'em!' The word was carried to Jack son, who went away raving. Next day the paper intimated the governor was in town on a bender. Jones paper had capital interview and big scoop"

Tn the year 15G3 a colossal sta+uo n. discovered representing Ariadne at tbs moment when, sleeping on the island of Naxos, she was deserted by Tbasons For some time it was supposed that the statue represented Cleopatra ., account of an armlet in the form ot snake worn by the figure. Bur tbis belief no longer holds credence. It ia considered now to be the finest draped statue in the vatican, and is celebrated as being the only marble statue in ex- istence with eyelashes. A Latin poem in it's honor was written fy Castfg Hone, which is engraved upon marble and placed beside the statue.
