New Geyser in the Yellowstone.

A dispatch from Livingston. Montana,
February %, says that tourists to the Yel-
low Stone National Park next season will
be treated to an added attraction in the
shape of wonderful new geyser, which is
said to rival any of the old ones. James
King, who has been living in the park
during the past winter, says that early on
the morning of February Is he was awak
ened by a terrific explosion. He discovered
the new geyser, about 200 feet south of
the famous Fountain geyser. 1t Was send
ing solid column of hot water fully 600
feet in the air, the water gushing forth
from hole about five feet in diameter with
a loud roar Mr. King says that for one
hour and thirty minutes the column shot
up. 1t then subsided and has since been
playing at regular intervals of about two
hours
Word has also reached Livingston that
the Excelsior geyser, the largest and in
some respects the most wonderful geyser in
the park, which has not been in a state OF
eruption for several years past, commenced
to play on Washington Birthday and con-
tinued for over FIVE hours. The volume of
water sent out, which flows into the Fire
hole River, so sweIled the water in that
stream that it overfowed its banks. The
water of the river became SO hot from the
geyser water that fish in the stream for
distance of about two miles below Excelsior

norant white men, but in the exclusion of
large mass of Ignorance from the ballot
box What concerns the Republican lead
ers in Maryland, as elsewhere, is the loss
of large herds of voting cattle which they
regard as necessary for the maintenance of
their political supremacy.
Notwithstanding the large Republican
majority in Pennsylvania the party lead
ers shrink from excluding from the suffrage
the ignorant negroes who have migrated
to this State since the civil war, as well as
the ignorant naturalized whites in the mines
and mills These ignorant voters in sew
eral sections of the State constitute very
useful contingent for overcoming the Demo
Gratis in elections for Congress and for
members of the Legislature. Neither in
Maryland nor in Pennsylvania, nor any
where else, has the Democratic party any
need of this political element.

The Suffrage in Maryland.
From the Philadelphia Record.

Party spirit in Maryland and beyond
the limits of that State is greatly excited
because of the intended efforts in the extra
session of the Legislature just convened to
deprive illiterate persons of the suffrage.
The Republicans of Maryland and their
associates elsewhere can see in this legisla-
tion no other purpose than to deprive them
of the political control of that State. An
Associated dispatch from Annapolis says
that Senator McComas is preparing to make
bitter contest against the Suffrage BILL
The dispatch further says that the effect
of the measure if passed would be to dis
franchise 80 per cent. of the 90, 600 col
ored voters of the State 1t appears on
more trustworthy authority, however, that
the illiterate negro voters in Maryland
number about 35. 900, and the illiterate
whites Is, 000
But even if this assertion as to the illit-
eracy of the colored population of Mary
land be not exaggerated it only strength
ems the reason for excluding mass of ig-
norance from the suffrage. In their fu-
rious hostility to this measure Senator Me-
Comas and the other Republican leaders
associated with him confess that they hold
political control Of the State only through
ignorant voters who are incapable of dis
charging the poplitical duties of citizenship.
If the Republican organization be the
party of ''all the intelligence, y as is SO
arrogantly pretended, why should its lead
ers in Maryland be so fearful concerning
the exclusion of horde of illiterate negro
voters from the ballot-box? But tits not
these negro voters alone that give rise to
solicitude. OF the $4,000 illiterate white
voters of Maryland much the larger proper
ton are concentrated in the mining dis
tricts, and are led to the polls by Republi-
can bosses. On the other hand, consid
cradle percentage Of the colored citizens
illiterate as well as literate-vote the Demo
cratic ticket 1t is conceded, however,
that if the whole mass of ignorant voters,
white and black, should be excluded from
the suffrage the Republicans of Maryland
would be left in hopeless minority.
Reduced, then, to its simplest terms,
the contest in the Maryland Legislature is
between ignorance and intelligence, with
intelligence enlisted in behalf
of ignorance. 1t is admitted that the Suf-
frage bill is modelled on the law of Massa-
chusetts, which makes no distinction of
race or color. Why, then, should legisla-
ion which excludes ignorant voters, white
and black, from the ballot be good in Mas
,achusetts and become bad when trans
ferred to the latitude of Maryland? Is
he illiteracy of the blacks to be less dread
ID in Maryland? Oris it less hurtful than
he illiteracy of white men in Massachu-
'etts
The partisan complaint against the
lew Ballot laws of North Carolina, and
# some other Southern States. has been
hat they discriminate in favor of few
White men who cannot read, but who have
lways exercised the suffrage. But it Is
lain enough that the real ground OF hos
ility to this legislation is not in its discrim-
nation in favor of a limited number OF ig-

of nineteen inches, and going up to wider
varieties at somewhat higher prices, though
all are very moderate. Cords running
lengthwise at frequent intervals are a
marked feature and harmonize with the
present rage for stripes. Foulards In high
lustre finish and all-oyer patterns, usually
in different shades Of one color, are freely
shown and rival light weight silks that are
also preferable in all-over patterns. The
same can be said of challies, which are
really necessity for summer, but there is
great competition from mohair canvass and
grenadines that come in solid shades, so as
adequately to show off laces and passemen-
teries that are an important factor in dress
trimmings.

The great predominance of mohair
weaves in millinery becomes every day more
apparent, and where entire hats are not so
fashioned, mohair intermixtures are fire.
quent. Panama straw is likewise very
fashionable and is often so pliable as to be
folded over or made into loose crowns.
Some crowns, although quite low, are I'M
mense in circumference, especially as to the
upper part, the lower portion being com
paratively narrow and sinking into a very
wide brim. Hats generally, indeed, are
low and broad, even where shapes are r.
regular in outline, and this, perhaps, is the
reason for frequent display of leaf covered
hats or those composed wholly of small
flowers set closely For such purpose vlo-
lets and very small roses are in particular
favor. Despite the prominence of single
large flowers entire garlands of small ones
are new feature, and as novelty promise
to become popular, and where not set in
garlands show forth in sprays that are
closely attached, as vine would Chamber
on wall. Hats made in mousselIne or
tulle are very frequent, but often in fold
ings edged by straw or black velvet, this
being, of course, repetition of last sea
sons styles.
Black velvet is again extremely fashion
able, oftenest appearing as ribbon, and this
comes from about two inches wide to the
baby width that is familiar to everyone.
Some peculiar effects are obtained by straw
in mixtures of color, of ribbon width and
used like ribbon in trimming. An example
shows seven rows in blue, yellow, red or
green, and it forms the only trimming on
a hat of black rough straw. Lord & Tay-
lor also show beautiful lines in wash silks,

Many Dying of Starvation in Russia.

The London, England, Daily Express pub
fishes the following from its Odessa corre-
spondent: '.Several of the Russian provinces
are still suffering acutsly from famine. In
the governments OF Kherson and Bessarabia
tens of thousands are famishing. Amid the
addition i hardships of the severe winter
hunger typhus is rapidly spreading also The
condition of the peasantry in the famine dis
tricls of Southwestern Russia is equally la
mentabIe: but il is worst of all in the Northern
and East Volga provinces, where the people
for two months have been subsisting on roots,
grasses and offals, and are now dying of sheer
starvation"

How to wash woolens.

No part of the laundry work is, as a
rule, so unsatisfactory as the washing of
the wooden garments. The structure OF
wool fiber is so different from that Of linen
and cotton that it should receive different
treatment in the laundry. Rubbing and
wringing cause the wool fbers to knot,
thus giving a thickened and shruken fab
rc; therefore, woollen goods should be
sopped and squeezed to remove the dirt,
and the water should be pressed out, not
