&c North Carel!s.ss seuatorship.

In the Senatorship race in North Caro-
lima, reports from there indicate that the
Hon. Lee Overman IS a lap or two ahead
OF the other sprlnters. and that barring
accident or unforeseen incident unsched-
uled. be may come to Washington as tho
successor cf the Hon. Jeter C. Pritchard.
The field, however. abounds in candi-
dates. and there is no way Of determining
positively at present who the successful
man viii be. One Of Mr. Overman's
claims 10 distinction is the fact that he is
the son-in-law Of man who was United
States Senator for one term-Senator
Merrimon OF North Carolina. and il is
considered Of some advantage, II there is
no other prominent advantage. to have
Senatorial blood in the wife's family.
Senator Mcrrimon's chief claim TO dis
tInctiOn was the fact that he once de-
feated the late lamented Zeb Vance for
the ScnatOrship, and then retired to be
succeeded by Vance. The combination
method by which he achieved victory
over Vance never did just please a great
many people in the Old North state.
However. that does not appear 10 count
any against the Hon. Lee OvermaD. who
is reputed to be a man OF ability and
would be an adornment 70 the upper
house Of the national legislature. He has
been speaker Of the North Carolina as
sembly. and just at the present time
things appear 70 be looking" mis- way
right smart, as they say in the Tar Heel
State. Mr. Overuan's candidacy has not
attracted the attention which was drawn
70 the somewhat spectacular canvass OF
the Hon. Locke Craig. who stumped the
state In the recent campaign with SEN
ator Pritchard and INDUCED in joint de-
hate, which it "a said was not always TO
his advantage. His course prejudiced
many North Carolinians against him, and
especially aroused the enmity and dis
approval Of the numerous other candt-
dates. who looked upon his action as TAX
ing an Unfair advantage in field which
was omen to all and embraced no favor
ties. II is not now considered probable
that Craig will be elected There are a
dozen candidates. and many other willing
ones. but today Overman has the lead.
tomorrow some other may seem 10 be
nearest the goal.

For when Eer husband was last brought
up fin bankruptcy proceedings with la
biIities TO the tune Of some S3,ooo.OOo,
and assets that realized but $500, it was
stated ON oath that he had not cent TO
his name save an income Of 50 zoe year
derived from the Office Of clerk Z, the
county Antrim. the duties Of which were
performed by q deputy. This statement
was repeated subsequently IN the Lon
don police courts. when the late Mar
chioness Of Donegal. his wife who has
since died sued him for maintenance,
she being al that time the inmate Of one
OF the London workhouses.

Was Much Married.

II Is no exsggeration 90 assert that
Lord Donegal is one OF the least credit
able members OF the British peerage,
and while on several occasions he has
contributed To the divorce scandals OF
the day as correspondent, he has at least
on two occasions presented himself be-
fore the public as a petitioner.
The first time was when he applied for
the dissolution o. his marriage TO a
lady who had become his bride only a
few months previously. He bore at that
time the title Of the Earl Of Belfast. his
father being Still alive. The proceedings
were Of the most extraordinary charac-
ter. and during the trial IL was brought
10 light that the Countess Of Belfast had
previously been married to a William
Mure. her union with the latter having
been pronounced by the courts null and
void on grounds Identical with those
upon which Lord Belfast had based his
petition. The earl won his case. which
was considered as the cause celehre" Of
the esrlv SOS.
The next wife Of the marquis was an
equally impossible parsonage. was re-
peatedly arrested by the London police
as drunk and disordcrly. and on one oc-
caslon for attempting to brain her hus-
band with a hatchet. Had II not been for

Chambers Disappointment.


The Hon. William E. Chandler has
experienced another sore disappoint-
ment The late New Hampshire con-
stitutional convention, Of which the for
mer Senator was a member, refused TO
incorporate in the fundamental law OF
the Granite State provision prohibit
ing the use OF transportation passes.
The erratic ex-statesman made strong
fight for an amendment OF this char
acter to the constitution. but a ma
jority Of his fellow revisiOnists decided
they could not refuse to accept. or
oblige anyone else to refuse to accept
free rides upon the railroads. or more
particularly the one great railroad
which traverses the State. This action
will not, however. affect the attitude
Of Mr. Chandler: he will have none Of
their gTauutiues: he would walk before
he would accept pass from any cor
poration, but there isn't a great deal
Of danger that he will be obliged 70 re-
sort to primitive methods Of travel at
least not so long as the Spanish Treaty
Claims Commission Is able to find mat
ters witt which to engage itself.
Instead OF giving its Endorsement TO
Mr.. Chambers proposition to prohibit
free rides. the convention adopted a
number Of other important amendments
which viii be submitted to the people
at the next general election. One Of
these. and perhaps the most important
for il is rather remarkable for a staid
old Commonwealth like New Hampshire,
is a proposition to permit women 10
vote at all State elections. Just how
the great conservative element Of the
Granite State will receive this propo-
sition IS a source Of much doubt. but
the matter went through the convention
all right

BrownlOw Gets Another Appropriation.

BTownlow Gets Another Appropriation.
When the proposition presented is one
OF obtaining appropriations, the Hon.
Walter Preston Brownlow may be on
cially recorded as an unqualified sue
cess. and this Is not insinuating by any
means that be is not also a success in
other lines OF activity. Colonel Brown

Suffrage in New Hampshire.

Woman Suffrage in New Hampshire.
New Hampshire is the first OF the
New England States-in fact. the first
OF any OF the Eastern States-to suggest
granting suffrage to the gentle sex, yet
II seems 70 have been done without
arousing a great deal OF comment OF
publicity. There is one fact the male
population OF New Hampshire must
take into careful consideration in
voting TO place the ballot in the
hands Of the women. According to
the statistics carefully compiled 10y
Mr.. Merriam ard his corps Of able
assistants there are more women than
men in the State, and il is only neces-
sary for the female population TO stand
together to be able to rule things their
own way and avenge themselves for
having been deprived OF their rights
for centuTy-and some OF them are
said to have been deprived Of that
privilege for almost that length OF time.
Among the other amendments adopted
By the constitutional convention IS one
relating TO trusts. New Hampshire hav-
ing decided that in order TO be popular
and keep pace with the times she must
have something to say about ''combina-
tions and monopolies in restraint Of
trade" Another provides for an inheri-
tance and franchise tax, another for an
educational qualification for suffrage and
a fourth strikes the word ''Protestant''
from the bill OF rights The proposition
to establish the initiative and referen-
dun met a fate similar 70 that handed

In the Public Eue.

The Rev. whitweu EIwin, at one
time editor Of the quarterly Review"
was an intimate friend Of Thackeray.
whose pet name for him was 'Dr. Prim-
rose" Elwin once told the novelist that
his best poem was that on his pen,
containing the lines:
Eve helped him to pen many a line for bread,
To joke. with sorow aching in his headi
And make your laughter when his own heart
bled"'
Il cannot give you the pen with which
I wrote it," said ThacKeray FOR let

which he then presented to Elwin,
together with a gold pen, had been
used by him for years.
