SUFFRAGE BILL IN SENATE.
1t Causes Excess Exhilaration on Part
Of Young Woman In Gallery.

Senator Borah introduced reso-
luton i'll the Senate OIL Monday for
an amendment to the Constitution
giving women the right to vote. A
suffragette up in one of the galleries
clapped her hands, and for a mo-
ment it looked as if the police
might have to interfere or the Vice
President command silence. The
young woman, however was taken
to task by other women sitting
beside her and subsided, to the
great relief of the Senate.
The joint resolution provides that
the Constitution shall be amended
so that thereafter there will oe no
sex discrimination in the matter of
suffrage.

MANY MAY GO MAILLESS.
Bill in Congress Would Limit Service
to Users of Boxes.

Persons who live in cities and
have no mail boxes in front of their
residences are liable not to receive
any mail after June 80, 1911. Ger
tain!y, they will not, if a provision
of the Post Office Appropriation
bill becomes law. The provision
prohibits any letter carrier from
delivering any mail at any house
unless there be suitable mail box
on the outside TO receive it. 1t
means that Uncle Sam is tired Of
having his uniformed carriers wait
for persons to take tdeir time in
answering their bells.
After many experiments it was
found that the average mail carrier
loses about 80 seconds in ringing
each door-bell and awaiting re-
sponse. 1t is predicted that this
provision will greatly increase the
efficiency of the service and posi-
bly, reduce the number of carriers
required. A saving of $500, 900 is
estimated.
The vast expenditure required to
meet the provisions of this bill in
the way of providing new mail
boxes is estimated at approximate
ly $40, 900, 900, as the average mail
box costs dollar,

In the State of New York over
14,ooo farms lay abandoned in
Pennsylvania over half as many.

Garman Liberal on License.
New Judge Explains That Every
Unprotected Applicant Wins.

There was something of sen
sation in Court at Wilkes. Barre on
Monday when a large number of
new applicants were granted liquor
licenses. For years past the Court
has refused to grant licenses fo-
new houses.
Speaking for the Court, Judge
Garman said it was within the
power of the people to regulate the
liquor traffic to a great extent, and
where they failed to demonstrate
against any applicant, whether he
was old or new, a license would be
granted.
Those granted licenses, however.
will have to be on their good be-
havior, for if they violate the law
they will be refused next year.
