COLLEGE Women Who Want to Vote.

Miss Beatrice Harraden, b. A., au-
thor of Ships that Pass in the Night,
and a deputation of other college wom-
en- lately presented to a committee OF
the house of commons a petition signed
by 100 women graduates of different
universities in England. They repre-
scented that the only permanent safe
guard for women's interest in matters
of education was the right to vote for
members Of parliament. The introduce
ton of the education bill had made this
question of great Importance to WON :
en-.
Many women who were graduates OF
universities were compelled to pay the
income tax, yet were not allowed to
vote. Some of these college women
We're teachers, some were physician
and some journalists. In every case
their professional incomes were subject
to taxation, yet they had no voice in
regard to the law.
The house was just about to vote on
the suspension of Mr.. Dillon, in conse-
quence of the liar" episode between
him and Mr.. Chamberlain. William E..
Lecky, the historian, unionist and
versity, went out to vote, and then
came back and told the college women
he wondered if they would like seat
in parliament in view of the fact that
they would run the risk at any moment
of being called i'd liars?" Mr.. Lecky
said the emotional element in politics
was quite unduly developed as 1T WAS,
without the introduction of women. II
must have been an aggravation to the
bright young college women, who hafi
never been so carried away by their
emotions as to indulge in profanity In
any of their college debating societies,
to be opposed with so irrelevant an OBJ
lection. In the first place, they were
not asking for seats in parliament. 1n
the second, as the Springfield Republi
can truly says, "Mr. Lecky should know
that with respectable women in the
house of commons no man would eve

A SOURCE OF SURPRISE

To Physician and Patient Alike.
DR.. Redmond, O specialist In the study
and treatment OF piles and rectal diseases,
recently stated that the Pyramid Pile
piles, was the most remarkable remedy he
had ever seen or tried In one respect; and
that was tho instant relief experienced In
all cases, no matter low severe, from the
moment the remedy was applied; this was
the more surprising to him, because he had
carefully Analysed the preparation and no
trace Of opium, cocaine or similar poison
could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor upon
the Pyramid Pile Cure, because It is rapid
and because II is 80 simple. so easily ap-
piled. and contains no mineral or other pol
sons SO commonly used In pile cures.
Dr. Esterbrook reports that the Pyramid
Pile Cure not only cures the various forms
OF piles, hut never fails TO give immediate
relief on the hFst application, no matter
how severe the pain OF discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles for
wears are often astonisned at the Instant re-
lief experienced from tire hrst application.
Another important advantage Is the fact
that anyone eau use the remedy without de-
tention from business or Interference with
daily occupation.
