FOR WOMEN READER S.

A vigorous war is being waged in
several German cities against the
trailing dresses of women in the
streets.
The growing demsnA for women in
the factories of Germany is bringing
the servant girl problem mora and
more to the front.
Mrs. Humphry Ward writes on q
real roof garden of her London
house. 1t is handsomely fitted up
like regular room, and on dull, dark
days lighted with lamps fitted into
wind-proof globes.
Margaret Deland has a perpetual
bit of summer introduced into her
Boston home. A small glass conserva-
tory, filed to overfowing with gay
jonquils, is where this brilliant
writer does her work.
An interesting fact brought out by
the recent elections in Colorado is the
marked tendency of Colorado men TO
elect women as city treasurers. Mrs.
Margaret Robins was unanimously
chosen city treasurer of Idaho
Springs. At Aspen Mrs. E. A. Ken
ney was reelected to the same office
by large majority. Mrs. Jennie
Gale was elected city treasurer at
New Castle, Mrs. Emma c. Palmer in
Greedy, Mrs. Clara A. Clark at Alma,
Mrs. Mary Shanks at Ouray, Mrs. Mel
lie 7. Donahue at Victor and Mrs. A
n. Frowine at Manitou.

ODD WAYS IN JAPAN.

Carpenters use tools in the reverse
way.
Men make of themselves beasts Of
burden and horses are rarely seen.
The estimated population Of the EN-.
pire is 4O,OOO,OOo. and there are only
400 dentists, or one dentist 70 every
100000 persons.
Railroad travel is less expensive
than in America, as a first-class fare
on the government lines is only three
sen a mile, or one and one-haf cents
American money.
Where there are double railroad
tracks. the trains are run so that
they pass on the left side instead Of
the right, as in the United States.
Street ears do the same thing, and
persons meeting pass to the left.
The first thing that greets the eye
IN the Inland sea is a sampan, that
curious old craft that has probably
remained unchanged and unimproved
for centuries. 1t is a clumsy boat
propelled by single oar and that
with joint in it.
Bullocks, wearing shoes of matted
straw, are used to some extent. The
output Of the greet copper mines in
the interior, employing 10000 men,
is hauled l2 miles to the city Of Nix
ko by bulocks hitehed singly to low
wheeled cars, carrying half . tOn Of
the metal.

Folly of an English Girl.

Devonshire, England, is to lose an
interesting monument of the folly OF
a wealthy man. The earl of Eyre
mont. who pursued so picturesque a
career in the SOS of the last century,
resolved to erect a mansion at SIl-
verton. near Exeter. which should be
an example to the world of what his
genius and riches could produce IN
the way of beauty and luxury. tie
was his own architect, and so pro-
fuse were his ideas that he put up
about 200 marble manteipieces, had
the doorknobs of the principal rooms
fashioned of amber and the bath cut
out of a solid piece Of marble. he
spent a quarter of a million on the
place, and even then it was incom'
plete. 1t is, in fact, incomplete to
this day, and now it is to be sold as
building material

instance, how could you git the best of

you can't get the best of it on tick
ets," replied the conductor, "but some
times a passenger boards a train in
such a hurry that he hasn't time to
purchase a ticket and we collect his
fare in cash. l knew a conductor
once, Bill Scruggins was his name, who
made considerable out of cash fares;
and yet Bill claimed that he always
gave the company its proper portion" p"
"How's that?" asked the rural traV-
eler.

.ares-he used to run an accOmmoda-
tion-and when he came near his last
station he'd take all the money he had
collected and throw il up in the air.
Whenever part of it stuck to the
bell rope he gave to the company, the
rest was his"
Il expect the wear and tear on thet
there bell rope didn't amount to a
great deal"
4 expect you're right about that;
and yet they say that a ten-donar bill
got caught on it one day"
Then I suppose he turned that in to
the company"
We'll. believe Bill did intend turn
ing in that note; but when he took it
down he found it was folded so deTned
peculiar that il Just had to stick TO
that bell rope if il come anywhere
near it. and so he didn't think he'd had
a square deal"
''What did he do about ftp"
Had a passenger change the note

REPUBLICAN LEGISLATIVE MAJORITY
To organize the House of Delegates
4S members are needed, and the Re-
publicans claim they have a safe ma
jority with which to do this, with st.
Mary's and Prince Georges counties
yet to hear from, and possible addi-
tional members from Talbot, Somer-
set and Caroline from those who are
now claimed.
In the Senate the Republicans
claim at least 10 and possibly IL. In
addition to the Republican hold-overs
they claim one from Baltimore City,
Talbot, Garrett, Cecil, Calvert and
Charles and possibly Allegany.
Late news was received from Wico-
mico county that the Democratic
ticket had been elected by only $50
plurality on an average, and to ac-
complish this large number of bal
lots had been thrown out.
1t is said that Allegany county will
run more than 1000 behind it's usual
vote on account of the large number
of ballots which were thrown out.
CLAIMS OF FRAUD.
On all sides are heard the most uni
versal claims of fraud in the counting
of the ballots and it is believed that
the total number of ballots counted
will be about so, 900 less than the total
registered vote.
Congressman Mudd telegraphed
that he had carried Charles county
by an average of 400 votes, notwith-
standing the use of the old English
type ON the ballots of that county.

Indications point TO the closest kind
of fight IN the organization of the
House of Delegates. The Republi-
cans claim a majority of one, with st.
Mary's and Prince Georges, two coun-
ties with strong Republican tenden-
cies, yet to hear from. The Demo
Gratis claim the organization of the
House by majority of six. A rumor
that the Democrats have probably
carried portion of the Legislative
ticket in Allegany county has been
received, but the Republican man
ayers claim that it cannot be true ex-
cept in regard to Roman, the Repub-
lican candidate for the Senate, who
they admit is still in jeopardy.
The Republicans claim that the
State candidates-Mr. Herman S.
Platt for the COMPREHENSIVE and
Mr.. Thomas Parran for the Clerkship
of the Court of Appeals-have been
elected by pluralities ranging from
$500 to 1000. They claim the election
of the whole city ticket in Baltimore
Hannibal, the Democratic candidate
for the clerkship, is believed to have
been defeated by more than 5000
votes. Robinson and Sloan, the Re-
publican candidates for the clerk of
Circuit Court No 9 and surveyor, are
both elected by handsome majorities.
SENIOR PUTZEL RE-ELECTED.
Lewis Putzel, the Republican can
didate for Senator in the Second dis

rality. The Republicans probably
