WOMAN AND THE BALLOT.
Falling Off Of female Suffrage Curious
Sign Of the Times.

The falling off of woman suffrage is
one of the curious signs of the times.
Some years ago the women of Boston
made a wild run upon the polls in a
school election there. Gradually the
interest has died out, until now the
vote is inconsiderable.
The same Indifference has been de-
veloped in England. In a local cleo
ton to be held in London this week
women entitled to vote could exercise
a deciding influence, but the canvass
err; find them, with rare exceptions,
entirely apathetic. This has been the
unvarying experience with woman
franchise in England. Only p per
cent. of the qualified women voters ex-
ercise the franchise at county council
elections.
Men must do the voting and the
fighting little longer.

WOMEN DRINKING.
Kelley Rescue Is League Shocked
at the Revelation of IntOx-

Drunkenness among all classes of
women in Chicago and the alarming
increase were made subjects of spe-
cial discussion by the national execu-
tive board of the Woman's Kelley Res
cue League at meeting in Chicago
the other night. 1t was declared that
thousands of Chicago women, includ-
ing many of high social standing, have
been and are resorting to the Kelley
cure and other treatments to free
of the ruinous habit.
The proprietors of drug and candy

they were partaking of a harmless
beverage.

Estimated Age of the Earth.

Oliver G. Harrington, curator of the
Field Columbian museum at Jackson
Park. Chicago, has just completed ex-
periments with rock formations pecul-
lar to the famous caves of Indiana, as
a result of which he says he believes
that animal life has existed on this
planet for at least 100000 years and
probably for double that length or
time. These conclusions were reached
by estimating the period required for
the growth of the stalactites in the
caves mentioned. In 1850 one OF these
stalactites was cut, and the increase
since then has been carefully measur-
ed, showing that about 50 years are
required for the formation OF CUBIC
inch of the substance.
