This department has been informed
that there are representatives of fire
extinguisher companies and screen
companies going over the state and
representing TO different hotels,
boarding houses and others that they
are either my deputies, or their goods
have my approval, and selling same
IN many instances where they are not
required. Such representations are
false and without foundation. / have
not mode or given any such orders or
instructions or permission of this kind
10 anyone, and as there are number
OF brands OF fire extinguishers, some
OF which do not bear the approval of

would suggest that anyone desiring to
purchase a fire extinguisher first
write this deartment, and also con-
suit their fire insurance agent before
doing so. As to screens, all hotels,
boarding houses, ETC., should first find
out from this department how outside
openings should be screened, and the
manner in which they should be in
stalled.
Very truly yours,

SENATOR TILLMAN AND WOMAN
SUFFRAGE

Senator Tillman's speech against
giving the right of suffrage to women
was of the old-fashioned kind in
which st. Paul was put in evidence
quite frequently. Because Adam was
created before Eve, st. Paul conceived
the idea that the man was intended
to be the dominating force, and the
woman was not to occupy a place on
an equal plane with him, but was to
be in subsection to him; though first
at the tomb and last at the cross, and
bathing her Masters feet with her
tears and amounting his head with an
alabaster box of precious ointment,
Paul condemned her to silence in
the churches"
But we are confronted with the
fact that today women are carrying
the gospel to the fore-ends of the
earth, and she is doing it, too, with
the approval of many of our great re-
ligious bodies.
1t is no unusual thing anymore to
see women occupying the pulpits, and
her missionary labors are bearing as
rich fruit as the labors of the oppo-
site sex, and in those states where
she has been honored with the ballot
she has not unsexed herself, and her
~ ff~,.+r1 -, hr;yasn about nIaono,. nell
tics has been an uplifting force. That
at least is the testimony of the high
est executive and judicial officers in
those states where her voice is po-
tenital in elections.
The senator quoted and made an ar
ticle written by DR.. Bledsoe in 1877 a
part of his speech, but he afterwards
apologized for having done so, and
consented to have it expunged from
the records, which was done by an al
most unanimous vote of the senate.
When the article was written it was
taken as a matter of course, and call
ed forth no surprise. It's elimination
from the records a generation later
shows the change that has taken place
in public sentiment.
The senator is apprehensive that
the exercise of the ballot by women
will increase the divorce evil, but it is
shown that in Colorado the annual di-
vorce crop before women were honor
ed with the ballot was on an average
937; since which time the average has
fallen to 517.
The senator says that he admits
that women will improve politics, but
fears that in the end politics will de-
stroy her, as we know her and love
her, yet out in Wyoming, where she
has been exercising the ballot for for
ty years, the almost universal testi-
mony from that state is that she con-
tinues to possess all the wifely af-
fections and the tender and motherly
devotions.
The unloosing of her tongue in the
churches has not destroyed the sane
tity of our religion, and the giving her
the ballot has not been hurtful to our
institutions, nor been destructive to
her influence in the home as wife and
mother.
Despite the admonition of st. Paul
and the alarm of Senator Tillman, she
still preserves the purity of woman
hood.

CANNOT SETTLE
 RAILROAD ROW
Officials of Eastern Roads and Unions Are Unable to Agree
 Traffic May Stop.

New Yor, July 18.-The off, cials of the eastern railroads in volved in the present dispute with the trainmen employed by the roads have refused to agree with the trainmen that the only matters to be submitted to the board of arbitration is the de- mands of the men while the rail- road officials claim that they also have some demands which they desire passed upon, unless the board can pass on railroad de- mands as we'll sas labor demands they will not submit to arbitra- tion and prefer to stand strike.
 The deadlock between the men and the companies is such that it is believed nothing can be done to prevent general strike on all the 54 eastern railroads which will tie up every line from Chicago east.

NOME CLEANUP
 WILL bE BIC
Expect Take Out Larger Amount This Year Than Last-1ig
 Spring Cleanup.

That the Nome cleanup this spring will be much greater than it was last year is now ab- solutely certain, is the statement Of the Nome Nugget. Both Nome banks have already received more gold this year than they had re- ceived at the same date last year although the season is very much later. It could not of course be ascertained by how much exact Iy the cleanup is greater than that of the previous spring as the bank officials are not at lib- cry to give detailed accounts of the various amounts received and as all the dumps are not yet cleaned up and no method could be trusted for allowing for the amount not yet washed. MT. Sheldon of the Alaska Bank says that the amount of gold receiv- ed this spring by his institution is very considerably greater. Mr. Bacdelder of the Miners and Merchants Bank says that the cleanup is very much greater this year but he expected it, and, indeed, was quoted in this paper some months ago as saying that the output would he far in excess of what it was last year.
 The dumps are not, of course, all cleaned up yet and are not cleaned up to the extent that they were this time last year so that when it is said that the cleanup is already greater than it was last year it means that it will be still greater when all the dumps are sluiced.

GOVERNOR SULzER
 |S IN TROUBLE
Charges of Misconduct are Being Investigated By New York
 Legislature.

Albany, July 1S.-The legisla- tive bribery probing committee appointed by the special session of the state legislature started in today to investigate the many charges against Governor Sul- ger who it is claimed tried to force the members of the legis- lature to vote for his direct pri- mary bill and also that he made promises before his election to the officials of the trainmens un- ion that he would force through bill providing for a full crew on all trains. The charges of graft which have lately come to light in reference to the probat- ing of an estate in New Hamp- shire some years ago when Sul- ger attempted to secure a fee of S10,000 from a widow will be probed. The fee was eXorbitant and the jury recommended that d'sharnlent proceedings be ln- siitnicu against Sulzer but it Ti:s never done.
 Assemblyman Sweet who testi- fled today that Governor Sulzer had demanded that ne vote for the primary bill under pain of having the bridge appropriation measure in which the assembly, man was interested, vetoed.
 More members are to be cal- led and an investigation into the charges in reference to other misconduct in office are to be made.
 The special session of the the legislature defeated the pri- mary bill by larger margin than at the regular session.
