ALEXANDRA, THE NEW QUEEN.

| An intimate friend of the Princess of
| Wales-for only an intimate friend can
be pardoned in so describing her-says
that she is .'sweet. noble, pretty, snap

temper is quick, disagreeable and un-
certain Yet, withal, this friend adds
that she is Just the most lovable wo-

Queen Victoria during her long

why They Didn't Vote.

This spring many papers opposed to
equal rights for women have been call
ing attention to the fact that at the re-
cent school election in Cleveland there
were only about zoe women who voted,
whereas last year there were nearly
COCO. The inference has been drawn
that the women's vote is "fiuctuating,"
that their interest is falling off," etc.
The secretary of the board of cleo
tons in Cleveland. in answer to a letter
OF inquiry from Mrs. Ida ii. Harper,
explains that the school director, who
is the head Of the whole school system
of that city-shapes its policy. appoints
superintendent, janitors, etc.-is cho-
sen biennially and that on the interven-
ing year only school councilmen" are
elected; hence on the off year the
school vote of both men and women is
always light.
In 1896, in Cleveland, the school di-
rector WAS to be chosen, and 2,72S wo-
men registered. and 1,6S2 voted. Only
school councilmen were to be elected
I'm 1897, and the registration fell to 259,
of whom 22S voted. In 1893, to elect
the school director, 5,64S women regis
tered, and 1881 voted. The registra-
ton in 1899 fell to 9TS, with a vote of
763. In 1000 it rose again to 9,160, of
whom 1850 voted. And then in 1901
it dropped to 797. with FOG of these

ures that the registration of 1896, 1898
and 1900 was 2,72S. 5,64S and 9,16O.

cessor.
Kansas cities of the first and second
class elect the mayor and the main
part of the city government biennially,
leaving only a few comparatively I'M
important officers to be chosen on the
off year. Hence the vote at the inter
vening election is always light. For
years after Kansas women were given
the municipal ballot the opponents of
equal rights used to print articles in
the eastern papers every alternate year
saying: Last year so many women
voted in Kansas; this year only so
many. Woman suffrage in Kansas is
a failure. The interest Is falling OFF,"

genuous method of argument in regard

How Mis-. RunkIe Won Her Degree.


Miss Bertha Runkle, the girl author
OF 'The Helmet of Navarro" is one of
the literary personages of the day. The
fact that Miss Runkle has scored a
genuine success at the age of % Is
something worthy of more than ordi-
nary comment. Only the girls intimate
friends believed in her youth. because
her story showed such maturity of
treatment and scholarship. The read
ing public laughed and said, "Wait I'M
til she comes into the public eye; then
we shall see she is a much older wom-
an"
Miss Runkle came into the public eye
in the early part of April by reading a
paper on "Romanticism" before the
Contemporary club of Philadelphia.
She has been brought up in a book
ish atmosphere. Her mother, Mrs.
Runkle, has been for many years on
the staff of one of the magazines and
has supported the family, giving the
boy a Harvard education and training
the girl at home, or. rather, that was
her plan, but Miss Runkle defeated
part of it.
She is devoted to her brother, and
when he went to Harvard the two en-
tered into n close alliance. 1t resulted
in Miss Runkle's graduating from Har-
ward without n degree.
Her brother kept in touch with her
every day and coached her all summer.
Each morning she would receive the
lecture as taken down by him. She
had a duplicate of every book he had.
She studied as many hours n day as he
did. She mailed him every night the
result of her work. and he gave her
the added benefit of his examinations.
She went through each examination
with him and passed without condition.
During their senior year she studied
harder than the young man himself.
and the excitement in the Runkle
household at the time of the final ex-
animation was intense.
Literary men and Harvard men were
as interested in this unique way of
Miss Runkle's going through Harvard
as she and her mother were The
brother had aroused all the interest and
enthusiasm of the Harvard professors,
and when the final day came Miss Ber-
tina Runkle's papers were examined,
and it was found that she had passed
with flying coIors. She virtually won
the Harvard degree.-Saturday Even
