WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The Baltimore Sun says that a bill
will be introduced in the next Mary
land Legislature, giving ladies the
right to vote in Baltimore in any
city election. Many of the promi-
nent citizens Of that city have been
interviewed in regard to the propos-
ed new innovation in politics, but
the most Of them are non-committal,
and only a few of them would even
go so far as to say that they did not
believe the women of that city want
ed to vote or mix up in the political
affairs of that town. Doubtless the
poll holders would object, even they
were afraid to say SO, If they under
stand that they will have to nurse
the babies while the ladies are cast
ing their votes and working around
the polls, as Is said to be the custom
in one or two places where woman
Suffrage Is in vogue. Understand,
gentle reader, We are not committing
ourselves. We have never before
been backward in expressing our
views on public questions, but all we
can say at this time Is that we do
not believe the good women of North
Carolina want the right of suffrage.

CONGRESS AND THE TARIFF.

The lower House of Congress is
still debating on the Payne tariff bill
and many more speeches are to be
made before even any amendments
are offered to the bill. In just what
shape the bill will be passed, no one
can predict with any degree of ac-
curacy. The minority leaders say
that the original bill will not be
recognizable when the bill finally be-
comes a law, while Mr. Payne, chair
man of the Ways and Means COM
mittee, says that only a few changes
will be made in the original bill.
But after the bill has passed the
House 1t must then run the gauntlet
OF the Senate.
There is much speculation among
the Congressman as to how long 1t
will take to finally dispose of the
question. Some think that the ex-
ira session will probably end in May
or early June, while others predict
that 1t will be as late as August. The
length Of time devoted to the last
tariff bill, the Dingley bill, may give
some idea, however The Dingley
bill was passed at an extra session
OF Congress in the Spring of 1897.
The bill was introduced on March
18th, and it required only twelve
days to pass the House. But the Sen
ate took more time, and the bill was
not reported from the Senate finance
committee until May 4th, and die
not pass the Senate until July 7th
and became law on July oath.
The Payne bill was introduced JUS
one day earlier than the Dingley bill
though 1t Is hardly probable that /
will pass the House in twelve DAYS
time. However, the Senate may no
take as much time over the cues
ton as did the Senate in 1897. From
present indications no other import
ant matters will be considered dur
Ing the extra session, except the cen
sus bill, which has already passed
the House.

Washington, March 3o.-President
Taft again to-day stated TO callers
that he did not consider the appoint
ment of judges TO be a part of the
patronage Of United States Senators.
The President thinks that judicial
appointments should be free from po-
litical influences. He considers him
self competent TO pass upon the fit
ness of them for the bench and will
do so. At the same time he said he
would be glad to receive some sug-
gestions from Senators and Repre-
sentatives as TO their knowledge oil
the qualifications of applicants. The
President has several Federal Judge
ships TO fill in the near future. ant
has received many calls from Sen
ators and Representatives from thu
districts where the vacancies exist.

SOAP MAKING ON THE FARM.
How to Make Soap of the Best Kind

How to Make Soap of the Best Kind
in the Easiest Way.
(From The Progressive Farmer.)
Dear Aunt Mary: Since with
the addition of little salt the soap

winter or spring, when it can be taken
out of doors, and even the spirit of
the season may be blended into the
seething pot.
For a long time, I thought if
could only learn some of the methods
of the soap manufacturers I might
make some satisfactory progress, but
at length l decided that it is the i'm
perfect grease that we use, and to
this end, I have abandoned the lean
meat scrap, etc. I throw this into
the yard for the chickens.
But this is not soap-making-wel
but it is furnishing the grease of a
fine grade. Try clean tallow, and
see what elegant soap it makes. Then
wash the curtains with it in nice rain
| water. and have them starched in
fresh, washed-out, homemade starch
lump starch is sometimes sour
and when you have hung them, and
| placed your bowl of violets on the
table before the open window, you'll
have to admit that they do not give
out all the sweetness; and IL this is
no proof, go to the line on wash day
l never mix the different greases
that would be a hybrid, a mongrel
you know. 1t takes different lengths
of time for the cooking of different
kinds. I start in to cook tallow soap
five hours, and even go 80 far as tt
put in raw grease before that which
has been cooked.
It Is possible at this day. people
will lay their failures on the moon
and thus fail to seek the rea.

A Young Wife Found Dying in a Shed

home of her husbands father last

and a woman lettering about the home
of Joshua BranseltOn and wife, the par
ents of Mrs. CulberSon's husband, with
whom she lived.
Mrs. Edna Culberson when asked if
she thought there was a possibility of
her sister-in-laws having committed
suicide said:
My God, how can you suggest that +?
If you had been with her during the
past week as / have you would know
as well as I that she was murdered.
If you find the woman I accuse, you
will be convinced it was murder This
woman followed Mr.. CulberSon wher-
ever he went. In my home one night
before Jessie and Russell were married
the woman 1 accuse swore in my pres
ence that unless Russell married her
and not Jessie she would kill him and
the rest Of US. He had from her many
letters the handwriting of which is the
same as of the letters Jessie received.
Since these letters came we have tried
not to let Jessie be alone a moment. She
has not slept. All her anxiety was that
russell and not she should be killed.
While l am not positive, I believe that

house yesterday morning. The woman

So far the search of the police has
