WOMEN IN TIE ELECTION.

In the State of Idaho this year the
women will for the first time partici'
pate in q Presidential election. In
three other States-Colorado, Utah
and Wyoming-the women will vote.
Says the Philadelphia Inquirer
(Republican):
1.-The vote that they cast is large,
but TO a considerable extent is not at
all important, for the cleavage in the
female vote follows the line of the
male on national questions. Poll
ticians have observed that the wife
votes as does the husband, the sister
follows the brother. and the daughter
the father, while the girl who has no
male relatives seeks the advice of
her closest male friend. So the
practical politicians of the States
named make no special attempt to
corral the votes of the women on
national questions, striving only by
due attentions and courtesies not TO
= ALLEVIATE it.
"Since 1896 there has been con-
siderable falling off OF the interest
of women in elections. This year il
is estimated that scarcely fifty per
cent of those who are entitled to
vote will use their privilege. The
novelty has apparently worn off, and
the sensible women are satisfied to
let the men do their duty at the polls,
without any outside influence. The
great benefit that the female vote
has been to the Western States
which have adopted it more than
makes up for any lack OF interest at
the present time. 1t has brought
order and lawfnl behavior at the
polling booths and it has forced the
parties to put up men of pure moral
and business character. These two
things alone have been OF tremen-
dous advantage TO the West, and
while the women there may not all
vote. the fact that they have the
power to go to the polls and knock
out any candidate that they do not
approve of forces the leaders to
greater caution than they used in the
old days.
Altogether. woman's suffrage has
been a success in the West. It has
been a power for good and it contin-.
ues to be restraining influence OF a
kind that is most welcome to the
better element of society,""

"Whisker Bill" is dead. He was .he

living by fishing when contraband
running had ceased. Yet, in the DAYS
of decadence he became the recipient
of aims while lying by the wayside at

of life there was no finer or more fear
less man around our coasts than stall

which in his escapades once grasped

Whisker Bill, as the old desperate was

The dying actress whose life had been

The Gondola Is Doomed.

Who ever thought of Venice without
thinking of gondolas? Probably eight
out Of ten people could tell you moth
ing more of the picturesque city in
Italy than that its inhabitants ride In
gondolas rather than In cable cars.
Nevertheless, like many other institu-
lions beautiful to the eye and dear to
sentiment, gondolas are disappearing.
The substitute for these beautiful,
swan-like boats Is almost too shocking
to appear in print. A Steam Trans
portation company" has been organ
lied, and is scattering the seeds OF
nervous prostrations among the Vene-
tians by establishing a system OF
shrieking, putting, noisily obtrusive
little steamboats, to run even on the
smallest canals. OF course, there have
been for many years boats running on
the grand canal. Now the service is to
be so extended as to embrace the en-
tire city. For the love of tradition"
protest the Venetians, "for the love Of
beauty, for the love of quiet, leave us
our gondolas and spare us this smok-
ing, shrieking horror"
