ELECTRICITY STOLEN
FARMER.

The agricultural marvels produced
by Michaelis Quentesky, a meek ltr
tie Bohemian truck farmer, sorely
puzzled his neighbors about New
Egypt, N. j. At the same time the
officials of the Bordentown Trolley
company were deeply worried nv
the stupendous amount of electricity
consumed by it's cars and light ing
business. The dynamos were work
ed overtime and enough voltage
engendered to operate three times as
many cars as were in use. |
But the cars Jagged painfully and
could hardly crawl up the gentle
hills. By strange coincidence the
greater the troubles of the trolley
company, the greater the prosperity

WOMEN WILL VOTE.

!. Carrie Chapman Gait makes this
prophecy regarding the political con-
dition Of women fifty years hence:
Fifty years hence women will long
have been enfranchised in the United
States. They will have taken their
places in the body polite so natural
~, so quietly, SO Internationally,
that the event will scarce have made
a ripple in the stream of human prot
gress. There will be no one left to
marvel at the claim of women 8
political rights, and if the subject
of woman's enfranchisement is
mentioned at all as distinct from
mans Acknowledgement, it will be
in wonder that great men and
women once obstinately refused to
perceive the justice of woman
claim to the ballot. An old man in
the Alabama constitutional con-
vention, short time ago, after a
bitter speech in opposition to woman
suffrage, exclaimed in that spirit of
surrender which sometimes over
takes us when standing in the pres
;ence Of the inevitable: There are
young men in the convention who
will see every woman in Alabama a
voter" That prophecy is echoed
in the heart of the most active op-
ponent Of woman suffrage. Its
coming will shock no one and least
of all the woman voter herself: 1T
will serve as a seven days. wonder,
and the papers will discuss it as a
news item for brief time. Then
women, as women, will sink out of
existence in the body polite and
will rise again as. citizens. There
will be no more talking Of the man
vote and. the woman vote, but the
new classification which will be dis
eusesd by every political party will
BIZ the intelligent and ignorant vote;
the moral and the immoral vote.

1T COMES TO HIGH.

Philadelphia Record: 1t will cost
a.pot of money-$20, 600 or $50, 600
Ito send a high ranking officer of
the army or navy to the coronation
ceremonies at London in June next,
and nobody in official circles at
Washington is willing at this time
to accept responsibility for such ex-
penditure. When Gen. Miles at
tended diamond jubilee he was al
lowed $40, 900 but he sum was go
abolutely inadequate that the old
soldier was entirely lost sight of il
the cosmopolitan whirl Of dignitaries
Whitelaw Reid, who was special
ambassador on this occasion, was
also allowed $4,000, and spent
$780, Of his own money in addition
in an effort to vindicate his official
standing. The coronation of Edward
VII. promises to be the most r.
splendent public function ever held
in the United Kingdom that issto
say, in the world itself. If American
army and navy officers are. to be- in
stalled as part of the international
show congress will. have to:dive deep
into the public Treasury for the
wherewithal.. to- sustain the national
dignity on that festive occasion.

ABOUT $4,000 INVOLVED IN
ONE ADVERTISING
DEAL.

One of the most important bust
nesses of recent years is that of
newspaper advertising, viii CHI has
come to be recognized as the essent
ial elixir for all commerce.
The pre-eminent Importance of
newspaper advertising in connection
with modern retailing is illustrated
by contract which was recently
entered into by a Chicago depart
ment store and Chicago daily.
This store will'use one page in
the paper every day except Sundays
for a year. The firm does not be-
lieve in Sunday advertis ing. even
closing it's window shades on that
day. This is to cater the extreme
Sunday observers. The amount
Of money involved in the transaction
is about 100000. This, is one Of
the largest advertising contracts'ever
made. A number of extensive ad-
vertisers spends about $1,000, 600 a
year, but this firm leads in the size
of appropriation for a single paper.
,Eviduenty it is not afraid to concen-
trate it's outlay for advertising in a
newspaper of established worth.
/ This firm, by the way, adds to it's
newspaper advertising ropriation
this year about $4,000 heretofore
spent on circulars and other waste
full forms of so called advertising.
