Concerning Women.

The California State Federation
Of Women S Clubs has endorsed the
effort to secure school suffrage fol
the women of that State.
Miss Minnie A. Tyler has JUS
been reelected town clerk Of South
Londonderry, Vermont. Miss Ty-
Ter has served twelve successive
terms in this Office, which was also
held by her father and grandfather.
The City Of Portland, Maine, now
has three women on the School
Board, two women on the Board Of
Overseers. one woman policeman
who is also agent for the State
Board of Protection for Children, a
woman as Assistant City Clerk and
a woman as City Librarian.
Miss Jessie Alderman has just
made her sixth tour around the
world. In speaking Of Australia
where women have full suffrage she
says: "Since I was last in Aus
tralia women have the franchise.
In the mining districts I found that
the miners wives took the keenest
interest in political questions and
were ready to talk politics intelli-
gently even at the washtub.

The National Guard

: The citizen soldiery is very diff
ferent thing from what it was
twenty-five years ago. Then be-
longing to a militia company was
little more than belonging to a
club. The principal function was
to appear occasionally in a uniform
that would scare horses and parade
the town behind a brass band, to
the infinite delight Of all the small
boys. The annual encampment
was vacation picnic. There was
drill in the manual of arms, and of
which can be learned in a couple Of
days. There was marching and
counter-marching by companies,
and occasionally there were battal-
ion evolutiOns. It was lark, and
it wasn't much else.
It is a good deal more than a lark
now. The fancy uniforms have
not entirely disappeared, but they
don't go to the encampments. Not
a single regiment, but a brigade or
a division is assembled in camp.
There are regular troops. The mil
itia pitch their tents. In many |
cases they reach the camps by |
marches of considerable length
and no military exercise is more
important than the ability to march.
They dig trenches and throw up
breastworks. They do picket duty
and night marching. They ford
rivers, or build bridges over them.
They scout. They go through all
the motions of attacking the enemy
or of outhanking him or carrying
rife pits. They have real field
as nearly as possible
such as they would have if called
into active service.
Small as is the prospect of war,
it would. of course, be foolish to
make no preparation for the unex-
pected. We shall always have an
army, though we need not have a
large one. If there should be war
we would have to depend mainly
upon the citizen soldiery, and the
militia of most of the States is now
getting practical instruction in the
Delligerent arts. II it should have
to go into service it would not be
thoroughly trained, but it would
be very considerably trained and
would be ready Immediately to gar
-ison the notifications, and it
would need but little training to
make it as effective as the regular
Iorce. Officers and men would be
to be Immediately useful.

About the biggest event in the his- tory of merchandising in Montgomery at this season of the year begins to- morrow, when the A. s. Knowles Dry Goods Company inaugurate their An- nual White Goods Sales and Clean Sweep Sales. this time first run contem- poraneously. Either one of these great sales would be an event, but coming together, as they do this year. the re- suit will he new high-water mark in phenomenal selling.
 It is almost universally the custom of merchants in every part of the Unit. ed States to set aside the middle part of January as the season for stressing the White Goods Department. at which time they take advantage of the cus- tom to profitabiy dispose of all excess stocks. This has Inevitably been re- troactive to the very great benefit Of their customers Themselves, but this year the, Knowles store has determin- ed not to be satisfied with this business which has come to be looked on as al- most in the natural course of things but on the other hand to take time by the forelock. using this opportunity to feature bargain offerings from ev- cry department of the entire store. as we'll as the White Goods.
 The result is very handsome dou- ble-page announcement in today's pa- per, which wifi be found on pages 4 and s. adv.
