The full details OF the recent elections are
not available. but women seem to have been
somewhat OF a factor. Those OF Kansas are
said to have voted In larger numbers than ever
before. The town OF Beattie elected an entire
ticket OF women. according to press reports.

The Woman's Journal gives O list Of the
women who contributed largely to educational
institutions during 1893. The total amount
given is S3.446. 400. Miss Flood OF San Fran
cisco heads the list with 81. 100000 to the Uni
versity Of California. OF the entire sum only
about $25O.OO0 went to colleges that were not

A bill is before the New York Legislature re-
on every School Board. The anti-sufrraRists
OF Albany have sent an official protest against

The announcement sent out from California
that school suffrage had been granted to
women was a mistake. The bill was almost
unanimously passed by both branches Of the
Legislature. but was not signed by the Gov
ernor. The Suffrage Association did not ask
for this bill, as there was a serious question as
to its constitutionality.
The bill granting full suffrage to, women.
which passed the Oklahoma House by q very
large majority. was defeated in. the Senate by
two votes. One would have been sufficient.
but the opponents felt that 1t would be safer to
arrange for two.

that men expectorate every few minutes-but
we do not know what it Is.
