HOW the Women Won in Sow Orleans.


How the Women Won in New Orleans.
The New Orleans Times Democrat
ia highly pleased at the large majority
obtained at the special election in that
city upon the proposition Of a special
tax of two mills per annum for forty
three years for the construction OF q
free sewerage and drainage system,
with free water therefor. The result,
it SAYS, may be truly classed as being
very largely victory for the women OF
New Orleans, for the Era Club, under
the direction Of its president, Mrs.
John NJ. Ordway, was one of the first
to sound the call to arms against dirt
| and disease, and under the direction
of Mrs. Ordway and Miss Katie
| Gordon the women of this city were
thoroughly educated up to the necessity
of voting for drainage and sewerage,
| educated as to the manner OF voting,
and made to understand the giving OF
proxies, in event of their not personally
desiring to 20 to the polls. Few women
deposited their ballots, but on the
other hand there were few women
property-owner who did notvote either
in person or byiproxy. Everywhere they
| we're treated with the utmost courtesy,
and general reports indicate that those
who did vote mastered the Australian
ballot with ease and intelligence.
Hundreds Of proxies poured in upon
the lady leaders of the women's cam.
paign, and were by them divided
according to the residence of the one
giving the proxy among wards ano
precincts, in each Of which some on!
especially progressive woman hat
volunteered to cast the proxies. IL
this way a number of the leaders cas-
the votes of hundreds of thousands 0
dollars worth of property.
For five,months the women OF tn
city labored INCREASINGLY to carry tn
drainage and sewerage tax, and TO
weeks, after the movement had ono
got under way. parlor meetings wer
held all over the city, ward and pre-
cinct leaders being appointed from
among the women enrolled as the way
of progress swept on.

report that the reconciliation was likely to

concerned. We did take n substantial
Interest in the undertaking, but several
other bankers also are similarly inter-

An Indcpendent Plant,

1t Is stated that the requirement OF
the Jefferson by the LaBelle Iron
Works. of this city, means an iron and
steel plant run independently OF any
combination. which will handle iron in
all OF Its various stages, from the raw
ore to the finished iron and steel pro-
ducts. AS 1t is so generally believed
that ultimately the Wheeling Steel 6;
Iron Company will be acquired by the
National, the fact that the LaBelle Is
expanding and will continue indepen-
dent Is received with satisfaction in
many quarters. especially by buyers of
Iron and steel in the open market, who
would be severely handicapped by the
requirement Of all the important plants
OF this section by the National COM
bine.

Consultations and rumors OF consoll-

the stock figuring in the deal is much
more than sl,000.0OO. but the Register
seems, ignorant Of the fact that many
OF the larger stockholders are retaining

smaller-in fact. It is about 81, 900, 900, as

1t is not known definitely whether the
