Woman and Suffrage.

Since the California women are
enfranchised, it means that there
are nearly one million and a half
women in the United States who
have full suffrage. They vote for
president, for all federal officers
who are elected by the direct votes
of :he people, and of conrse for all
state officers.
School suffrage prevails in twen-
ty-three states and women by the
score are serving on school commit
tees and as superintendents.
Four states have boad suffrage for
women and they vote intelligently
upon this question. There are
large numbers of taxpayitg women
in this country and they are inter
ested as to the manner in which
they are being taxed.
Ono state has municipal suffrage
and in that state one woman is
serving as mayor. There are women
mayors in England, Scotland and
Wales. The recalcitrant men alder
men in that Kansas town which has
a woman mayor tried to stop the
wheels of business, but they have
been removed by the governor for
neglect of duty and insubordina-
ton.
Amendments to the constitution
to give women full suffrage are be-
fore the people in Kansas and Wis
consin. They will be voted on next
fall. Nevada's Legislature has twice
voted favorably to submit an amend
ment to the people for equal suf-
frage. The law of the state requires
that the legislature must act third
time before the matter can be re-
ferred to the people. There is prac-
tically no opposition. Campaigns
are on in Oregon, Ohio and New
Hampshire looking toward the Sc
curing of an amendment to the state
constitutions which will grant full
suffrage;
And campaign is on in Wood
stock to elect woman to the school
board. We believe that the inter
ests of our children will be served
best by women, for we women come
nearer to childhood and youth and
all their concerns than do even the
best of men.

TIN CATCHES COLD.
And Whom II Does the Metal Finally
Crumbles to Powder.


crumbles to Powder.
Certain metallic elements have
! their ailments and indispositions,
but the tin plague is probably the
most remarkable of them all. If
tin catches cold it will decay, it will
lose its luster and finally crumble to
a gray powder. The change is not a
chemical one, for the gray powder
is still tin, and it can be brought
back by careful warming to it's
original healthy condition.
Apparently, when the tin is very
pure it is more susceptible to cold
and consequent decay. In fact, it
may be made proof against the dis
ease by alloying it with other met
ais. The disease is source of con-
siderable annoyance and disappoint-
ment to the collectors of coins who
possess valuable tin specimens in
their cabinets.
This curious failing of tin, says
the London Lancet, may possibly
have led to the use of the word
'ttin" as term of reproach, as in
such expressions as a "tin pot in
stitution," or ga tin soldier" Even
tin buttons have been known to
crumble in this way, and organ
pipes made of tin have been found
to decay after severe winter Tin
rot, to keep up the analogy of dis
ease, is even infectious, for decay
ing tin in contact with healthy lus-
trous tin soon spoils it and reduces
it to its own unhealthy state. If
tin is to be protected effectually
against the ravages Of cold it should
be kept above 18 degrees cent?
grade. The best remedy appears to
be, however, to alloy it with another
metal, notably lead.

The White River Junction
Station.
Golfers Weekly says (:

Collier weekly says:
A record-breaking structure was
the railway station at White River
Junction. Now that it is burned,
Vermont will never again be quite
the same. White River Junction is
known to the outside world as the
point from which election kilograms
are dated. But the Junction is un.
forgetable to those who have travelled
" through by train. Through is
a joke, for no train was ever known
to pass through it pauses, stops,
ponders, chews it's cud, takes a nap,
and finally meanders on. The station
building was bounded by a triang-
ular girdle of tracks. While the fam
ished traveller left his car to snatch
glass of milk, all the trains would
change places swiftly, SO that the
traveller boiling from his lunch stool
would take train to Bellows Falls
when he wanted to go to Wells
River. A minister Of Ware, Mass, on
being asked the duration of his pas
torate, replied Twelve years--fve
in Ware and seven in the Palmer
station" Even Palmer must play
second fiddle to White River June
ton. The old station has now passed.
The new one? Ask the Boston and
Maine.

Early Morning Fire.

NEW YORK, JAN 9-The Equita-

was totally destroyed by fire starting
at $50 this morning The entire fire
department of the city was called out.
The dead will probably number twen-
ty. 1t cannot be estimated for hours.
The loss will run from five to twenty
million dollars, according to secur-
tiles in valut during the first part of
the fire.
President William Giblin of the
Merchants Safe Deposit company and
two companions, entered the building
to rescue valuable securities. They
were hemmed in by flames ins the emp
ty safe deposit valut. The firemen
worked for several to rescue them and
succeeded in dragging Giblin to the
street in a dying condition. The two
companions were lost. Division Fire
Chief Walsh is believed to be dead.
He was last seen on the third floor
which crashed shortly after the fire
started.
A number of porters leaped from the
fifth story and were covered in the
debris.
The building is located at Broadway
and Nassau streets. More than mil
lion people watched the confiagration.
At $50 the fire had gained such
headway that fremen working on the
side of the building were called away |
and within few minutes the walls on |
that side crashed. Flames at that hour
were sweeping the entire block bound
by Cedar, Pine, Nassau and Broadway.
Just how many lives were lost will
be in doubt for hours.
Among the offices in the building
were those OF August Belmont, Koutz
Brothers, Western Maryland Railway
company, Equitable Trust, Mercantile

posit company and general offices of
