The Rural Looking Straw Affairs Not to Re Used in New Haven.

NUt to bt tstu III NtW ffdfen.
 New Haven. May 9.-Police Chief Henry D. Cowles when asked about the plans for summer headgear for the men on the force. said:
 We are thinking of adopting a light cloth helmet for the patrolmen this year, but there are several de- signs which have been submitted which we are thinking of putting in. There has been nothing definite done about it SO far. but We will adopt the helmet we want in a few days.
 We are going to get something in the line of light cloth helmet of light gray color. This would be both cool and serviceable. The straw hats which were once used in the summer are of little value for real hard use, and they look peculiar on the police over the blue uniforms.
 For the officers we will have A light eolored and weight cap. The white ones like the New York police officers use are so easily soiled that they are of little value after they have been worn only a few times"

We want you to see these beds for they're the handsomest lot we've ever had the privilege of showing.
 The prices moreover are little less than formerly and everyone said last year that our prices were less than any they had seen. These beds cost money, however-they're handsome pieces of work. But we're keeping the margins down. The new decorated beds cost from $10 to $35 for the bedstead and they're perfect gems of the latest ideas in bedroom furniture.

SALT AS A FERTILIZER.

Salt has long been recognized as
a valuable fertilizing agent, es-
peciallv for use on light, sandy or
worn-out land. 1t is claimed that
an oat crop on such soil is more than
doubled by the use of salt.
Farmers of Northern Vermont
have been accustomed for many
wears to obtain their Fertilizing
Salt of c. S. Page of Hyde Park, Vt.
The Salt he sells is that which has
been used on Hides, Skins, etc. in
his hidehouse and contains more or
less waste matter that really adds
to its fertilizing value Last year
the demand far exceeded the supply
and Mr.. Pages stock was exhausted
early in the season, so that he was
obliged to disappoint many farmers
who sent in their orders late. 1t is
advisable, therefore, that farmers
who intend using Pages Salt this
season should place their orders
early.
The price this year is only $500
Der ton, f. o. b. HYDE Park. The
-ailroad company makes an especial
" low rate on twelve ton carloads. |

WOMEN WHO WANT TO VOTE
Bv Julia Ward Howe.

In reply to a recent syndicated
article entitled American Suffra-
gettes" an entirely one sided ac-
count of the referendum on woman
suffrage taken in Massachusetts ID
years ago is given. Permit me to
supply the other side.
In 1895, the Massachusetts, Legis-
lature gave all the women opposed
to equal suffrage the opportunity
to vote no on the question, Is 1t
expedient that municipal suffrage
should be extended to women?"
OF the $4,000 women of voting age
in Massachusetts, only sci voted
against it. The opponents covered
the walls and fences in every town
and village in the State with huge
posters urging the women to vote
no; vet, in 23S out of the 322 towns
of Massachusetts, not one woman
voted in the negative. In every
county and in every Senatorial
and Representative District, the
women's vote was in favor, the
majority in the affirmative averaging
In Maine, Illinois, Iowa, New
York, Kansas, in short, wherever
petitions in favor of woman suffrage
and remonstrances against it have
been sent to the Legislature, the
petitioners have always outnum-
bered the remonstrants and gener-
ally have outnumbered them 30 or
100 to one. In New York, at the
time of the last Constitutional Con-
vention, the suffragists recured 300,-
600 signatures to their petitions,
the ANTS" only $4,000. When
Chicago women, led by Jane Ad-
dams. lately tried to obtain a mnui-
cipal woman suffrage clause in the
new city charter, 81 organizations
with an aggregate membership of
10000 women, petitioned for suf-
frage, while only one small organiza-
ton of women petitioned against it.
Most women are Indifferent, but,
of those who take any interest
either way, the large majority are in
favor. This has been shown wher-
ever the matter has been brought
