The number Of women electors has been
increa sed from three to six in the last five
years. and though no women were then
elected to the Hall Of Fame. there will now
be added a womans annex in which IA bets
TO famous women will be placed. There

cans OF foreign birth
The names Of candidates for the ha will
be sent 20 the electors on the first OF May
and the returns are due on Oct. l. Under
the rules Of the hall. fifty immorta should
have been chosen in the first year and five
more every fifth year afterward until the
end Of the century. However, the electors
at their first meeting only succeeded in
choosing twenty-nins, 30 there remain
| twenty-si1 TO be enthToned next fail.
In the first election no physician re-
oeived place, and since that time medical
associations have been agitating the ques-
ton of who shall be their candidate. The
question will probably he decided at the
meeting Of the American Medical AssO-
citation at Portland, Ore.
Some hundreds Of names OF candidates
! have already been sent in for the judges
Every one who received ten votes Ave
years ago sipso facto a candidate, sothere il
no doubt that the electors will have plenty
Of material to work on,
/ The name Of Edgar Allan Poe will come
up again this year under the ten vote rule,
and il Is said that the prudes may be pre-
vailed upon to vote for the poet and forget
some few sins Of the man. The chancellor
said yesterday that when the electors were
last at work, Richard Watson Glider
Of the Century called on Mr.. Cleveland at
Princeton and tried to prevail on him to
vote for Poe but Mr.. Cleveland could not
be persuaded. Poe got only thirty votes.
and the chancellor says he believes that the
electors are such a representative body
TINT he is almost convinced that the great
mass Of the people do not care for the
author OF THE haven
