By ANNIE KENNEY.


What astOnishes me more than any
thing else is that such a question as
should women voter" ever be asked.
And what seems TO astOnish the powers
that be IS that any one should be sufii-
ciently absurd to press for an answer.
] have been asked 10 giv5 a few rea-
sons why women ought TO be granted
the franchise. Here they are:
Reasons Why.
Because women. equally with men. are
subject 10 the laws. and. being one-half
of humanity. are concerned as deeply
as men in the legislation that affect
humanity.
because the denial Of equal legislative
right TO women is the refusal Of Justice
10 half the human race and a detriment
To the whole
Because taxation without representa-
ton IS tyranny.
Because We women want 20 be recog-
Hlzed as being the equal and comrades
Of men. instead Of being regarded as
domestic servants.
Because IL Is neither wise nor just that
the mothers OF the country should have
no voice In making the laws that affect
their children.
Those are a few reasons. / might
point out. further. that the life of a
working woman is one big sacrifice
Not even the working woman's husband
quite realizes this, for only the WeareT
OF a shoe can know exactly where that
shoe pinches
Opponents OF woman's franchise tell
us that women would not know how to

While the department will permit
rural carriers 10 use automobiles IN
serving their routes IN those sections
where the topography of the country
and the character and condition Of The
roads render their use practicable AT
an seasons OF the year. yet the depart
ment does not intend 20 furnish them,
but carriers who desire TO use automO-
biies in serving their routes must pro-
vide them at their own expense.

TYPHOID FEVER
IS DECREASING
Health Reports Show Recent
Outbreak Has Been
Checked.
CASES UNDER TREATMENT
Many on Road 10 Recovery and
Very Few in Serious
Condition.
CASES UNDER TREATMENT

typhoid fever is on the decrease IN
the District and Health Officer Wood
ward is much encouraged by the figures
for the past two weeks. which show
that the recent outbreak has been check
ed. From an average of seventy or
seventy-five cases a week for more than
two months. typhoid dropped to hfty-tivo
cases week before last and siNty-two
cases last week. Comparison OF the
statistics for last year and the present
one show that there Is but little more
typhoid In the District now than twelve
months ago and 10 cause for alarm
exists
From January / to September I, in
elusive. Of the present yeaI. a total Of
Iu4 cases of this maIady were reported
at the District Health Office. Last year
on the same day there were $50. seven
teen OF which We're reported on the first
day Of September. Yesterday only six
cases We're recorded by Dr. Woodward's
assistants.
Cases Under Treatment.
There are at present 81 cases under
treatment Many of the patients are on
the road TO recovery and the condition
of but few Of them is alarming. Dis
charges and recoveries are chronicleG
daily, and an encourag tng fact is that
the number OF GONZALES ruts is al
most equal 10 the new cases reported.
On September Q 1875 there were HO2
typhoid patients under treatment This
SHOWS an increase Of but five cases over
last years record.
This year. from January I To Septem-
her T. inclusive 81 deaths were due 10
typhoid fever. Last year the malady
claimed 3 victims. The larger per cent
OF the eighty-seven deaths this year
occurred subsequent 10 July J. when
only 81 deaths had been reported at the
Health ONCE. This Increase is believed
10 have been due 20 the excessive heat
and frequent rains after white pools OF
water settled near the homes OF pa
tients and stagnatlng made the air i'm
pure and FASTENED the demise OF the suf-
ferers.
Record for Past Month.
The typhoid record Cor the past month
surpassed all others OF this year Dur
ing the first eleven days OF August III
cases were reported. During the first
week OF the month 60 cases were
reported, the remaining 81 having de-
ve.oped between the It'll and l1th day.
Seventy-four cases were reported during
the second week, 50 week before last
and g. through the past seven days.
The number OF deaths did not greatly
exceed the recON cries. In estimating the
gravity OF ths typhoid situation # Is
necessary &c go back several weeks
when deaths occur and ascertain the
per cent Of fatalities out OF cases which
We're reported seven OF nine weeks pre-
viOus
Situation More Encouraging.
DR.. Woodward stated yesterday that
in view OF the fact that there have been
comparatively few deaths when il Is
considered that 251 cases were reported
during August and almost as many in
July. he is much gratided and encour-
aged with the typhoid situation II is
his belief that as September grows
older there viii be a more appreciable
decrease Of the disease and eventually
only the regular number of cases. two
or three a day, viii be reported.

TIE NEXT GOVERNOR.

Who will be the next governor? is
a question that is too hard FOR US to
answer at present. With such men
as the Hons. Earl Brewer and Charles
Scott from the Delta, and with men
like L. F. Noel and Supt. Whitfield
of the hill in the race, it will be hard
to name the winner. Hon. Charles
Scott is a man Of large acquaintance
and many close friends all over the
state; Earl Brewer is a young, self
made ana rising man of the state
and should Supt. Whitfield enter
the race with all the school teachers
and educational fraternity back Of
him, and with h. f. Noel, who is
personally well known and strong
everywhere, we consider the race as
one in which the winner would be
hard TO name al this time. The
dignity or well being Of the com
monwealth would not suffer in the
hands Of any of the gentlemen men
toned. -Coahomian.

WANDERING.

A city girl writes: 1T is a fond
dream Of mine TO become a farmers
wife and meander with him down
life's pathway
That is a nice thing, but when
your husband meanders off and
leaves you without wood, and you
have 10 meander up and down the
road pulling splinters of the rail
fence to cook dinner, and when you
meander along in the wet grass till
your shoes are the color of rawhide
and your stockings soaked, and
when you meander out across twenty
acres of plowed ground with a club
to drive the hogs out Of the corn
field and tear your dress on the
barb wire fence, when you meander
back home to the house, find that
the billy goat has butted the s%tutin'
out Of your child, and find the old
hen with forty chickens in the
house, you will put your hands on
your hips and realize that meander-
ing is not what it is cracked up to be,
truly says an exchange.

There are grave forebodings att
Greenwich, seat of the great observa-
tory which fixes time and establishes,
longitude. The London County Coun7:
Gil, which is the governing body of
London, is proposing to build great
power-house at Greenwich, capable of
developing $4,000 horsepower. The.
engines are to be monsters, eight In
number, and it is argued that when in
operation they will transmit tremors
through the earth sufficient to mar the
delicate work of the observatory. It.
has already been suggested that the
observatory should be moved from
Greenwich, but this meets with little
favor. Whether it will enter the coun-
sells of the English government to for
bid the erection of the power-house on
the proposed site remains to be seen.
The English move slowly, and they.
will probably take long time for de-
liberation. Likely in the end they will
do what Americans would do offhand
put the power-house somewhere
else. ~ M;

Old Chinatown Gone Forever.

No quarter of the whole town 10
more strangely altered than what was
once the congested picturesqueness OF
Chinatown, says writer in Century.
Where the wooden buildings have.
melated into ash a stot property line Of
heavy wire, reinforced by an armed
guard, has been stretched across to-
prevent any further footing of the,
heather by the Christian hordes. TO
one who has loved this Chinese quar-
ter, which exercised upon some minds
fascination undimmed BY famfliari7
ty, the destruction of Chinatown is the
most poignant loss of the San Francis
CO fire. The faults of dirty, smelly, de-
lightful old Chinatown will prevent its
ever being what it has been. AS sat-
on little embankment, where bazar
had stood, amid the hot ashes of
Chinatown, tingling in the throat
from the arid smoke that curled up
from the burrowing little fires about
me, l could think of no more joyful
consolation than that Robert Louis
Stevenson had not lived to feel the
pang of this desolation. Just below
me the shaken house where he had
lived and the little golden galleon Oh
his monument cutlived the ruin OF thes
quarter that he had loved.
