rno Advance Of Woman

The statement made recently tiat
instead Of "all having been gained"
by women, they are still struggling
for q foothold, has just received
practical illustration in Washington
city. During the last two years for
the first time c woman has been per-
mitted to enter the law department
IF Columbian university in that city
and prepare for its degrees.
A paragraph has been going the
rounds setting forth the small num-
Der of women who voted in the re-
cent municipal" elections in Massa-
chusetts and asserting that the num-
Der is constantly growing smaller.
In Boston, it is said, only 1850
women cast their ballots.
The fact is that women have no
municipal suffrage in Massachu-
sets. In 1872 in a burst of gener-
osity, law which never has been re-
pealed was passed by the legislature
providing that a woman 81 years of
age who could stand the educational
test and who should give notice in
writing that she wished to be as
sessed a poll tax (S2), and who should
give, under oath, a statement of her
taxable property and be thereupon
assessed, and who should so at an
appointed time and register, and re-
peat this performance every year,
should be allowed to vote for school
trustees. She could not attend the
primaries and help select the candi-
dates; she could not vote for super
visors or any other officials, nor for
appropriations for new schoolhOuses,
nor in the selection of teachers, nor
on any question connected with the
public schools, bat simply could make
a choice Of trustees from ballot pre-
pared without her sanction.
Under these conditions men pretend
to be shocked and grieved that the
women of Massachusetts 90 not rlsh

1t is claimed that in no country in
Europe is Sunday rest so complete as
in Norway. All stores, offices, factor
les and liquor saloons are closed from
5 D. m. on Saturday until a. m. on
Monday. Since 1892 no newspapers
have been printed on Sunday. and
since 1895 no bread has been baked on
that day. In Christiania street ears
do not run on Sunday mornings, nor
are letters distributed on that day, as
in most European countries. Since
1890 special appropriation has been
made to the railroads Estate property
with the express purpose of so adding
to the number of employees that each
may have one Sunday in three for rest.
All these laws 1t may bA stated are
made in the interest Of worlSng people

JENNIE sTRoNG's GIFT.

If you should pass along the road
that runs through Hillsdale, you will
see a little brown schoolhouse at the
foot of a long hill 1t is surrounded
by trees, and often on very hot after
moons you could see the children
studying in their shade. Miss Merry
vile, the teacher of this school, was
a pretty, lively, little black-haired wo-
man and was already pronounced ''jol-
ly" by the pupils, though she had
been there but three days. The chill
dren had gone through a transfer
nation. Little Bess Bicycle, whose
hair was always untidy, appeared this
morning with it brushed until it
shone like glass. Jennie Strong,
whose father was poor, could not
think what she could do for Miss Mer-
ryyille. She could not take her for
drive in lovely carriage or invite
her to dinner, as could Florence Guer-
ney, whose father was the wealthiest
man in the county.
One Saturday afternoon as Jennie
sat in her fayorite nook near the
school-house, she heard someone Sob
bing near her. She peered out and
discovered her beloved teacher cry
ing as if her heart would break. Jen-
ME went to Miss Merryville and put
her arms around her neck.
What's the matter?" she eagerly
asked

en- masse to the polls. To compare
the size Of the voman's vote with
that of the men under such widely
di*ereut conditions. is more than I'M
fair, it is dishonest. The Only legiti
mate comparison must be made in
the four states where conditions are
precisely the same, and here the
women come out Of the test with fly
ing colors.
The Indianapolis Journal said IN
recent editorial referring TO the grow
ing sentiment in favor CT tax-paying
women having municipal suffrage:
The conviction undoubtedly has
become widespread that they should
be allowed to assist in choosing the
officers who are 10 administer bust
ness Of such direct Importance to
them. A lesser number, probably, be-
lieves that if all women were allowed
TO vote at city elections the tendency
to political corruption would be
checked; nevertheless, this idea is
gaining ground also"
The important interview with Prot
". H. II. Hart of Howard university
on the race problem, which was pub
lished recently, contained this strong
assertion:
"In the end, whatever may De the
condition now, the right of suffrage
must be the sword and shield CT al
the people of a democracy. In a
monarchy it is the duty of the mobiles
to guard, protect and help the sub
ject classes, but in a democracy such
as ours the ballot is absolutely the
only protection of the citizen, and II
is as necessary in the long run to the
man whose skin is dark IS to him
whose skin is light and when the
race question is settled properly 1t
can only be ca the theory that the
perpetuity of the nation depends upon
the equality before the law Of all its
citiznns "-Chicaco Tribune.

Fat Mems Ball Team.

The latest phase of the base ball
epidemic is the development of the
microbes among the fat men, and a
fat mems club is now being organized.
The captain is Ed Fl. Meek, and the
base ball bacilli working on him are
as large as-well they are of the big
kind. Mr.. Meek is base ball player
from away back. Covillaud, the drug
gist. is another one that has it bad,
and will be member of the club. A
condition of membership rs that a
man must weight 200 pounds or over,
the amount.over that weight does not
count. The editor of the journal.
Miner who was champion ball player
thirty or forty years ago, has been
urgently solicited to play, and the
other fat men who are affected with
the disease will probably succeed in
innoculating him. Joe Herman is on
the list, too, of course. He is just as
good ball player as he is fat. Il.
Voge, is also down as victim, but
whether they can capture him is a
question. G. E. Gentry of Covillaud's
drug store is down for short stop.
The list is not complete, but is being
worked up by Captain Meek.

An Aluminium Deposit Found.

The peculiar red rock which can be
seen in the plaza fountain wall, and
about which there has been so much
speculation, as TO what it is turns out
to be very valuable.
Parties have located the ground
from which it was obtained and had
samples of it assayed at different
places and have just received returns
from it showing it to contain twenty
per cent aluminium.
They refused a $4,000 offer for
their claims today and it is stated that
they are held at 800, 600. The rock
is peculiar in that it is susceptible of
good polish and it contains practi-
cally no grit. and is very soft, as it
can be whitfield with knife like a
piece of chalk, containing if anything
less grit than the latter article.
When the fountain was being built
this rock attracted general attention
from all who saw it, but no one SEEM
ed to be able to classify it and as
stated two men located it and had
samples assayed with the above re-
suits.
The location of it is only three
miles from the railroad so that if
twenty per cent aluminium rock is
found to be commercially valuable,
it can easily be worked and treated
at profit.

away considerable surplus gravel
which of course is a benefit to the
miners The tunnel in the Apache
mine south of the Hudson group is
in 200 feet and shows good vein of
ore carrying gold, silver, copper and
lead. The gold values are SIC per ton.
The work is still going on steadily
and the owners intend to run another
100 feet and then sink. Work through
out the district is being pushed with
vigor in every location. The Eagle
mine near the BuzZard group shows
very large vein of low grade gold and
copper ore. S. NJ. Boblett and P.
Bowman are working ON the gold tun
mel group. The vein is very large and
shows very good quality of ore where
they are at work. The vein is over
100 feet in width and averages So per
ton in gold. Other property near by
is being developed with good results.
Mr.. Wilkins, near Lynx creek crossing,
is working steadily on his property and
it is showing up good. Gleason and
Harris will commence work in day
or two on the Crescent mine. The ore
body is Is or 20 inches and is very
promising as the character exposed is

vice law and could not be removed

upon the sale of this allotment to
Immediately advance the price.
1t is expected that this block of
stock will be picked up within a few
days, as a number of Prescott citizens
have already expressed their wishes to
become shareholders in this new cor
poration. The property is situated
near the head of Big Bug creek, ad-
joining the Poland mines and in near
proximity to the Merchants Mining
company. The principal claim in
the group was known in early days
as the Old Mesa mine. 1t has pro-
duced great deal of free gold and
all of the old timers of this county
who are familiar with this property
seem to be willing to wager their last
dollar that it will make one of the
