TEACHERS FIGHT
 FOR THE BALLOT
COrporatiO CCun.el Does Not Believe Women Have Legal Right To Vote In School
 Matters

New Haven, Sept 10-The women teachers of the city and those women interested in the enactment of the teachers tenure of office act will probably not be allowed to vote in the coming city election, although they have made extensive preparations to register and be made voters. Although Corporation Counsel kleiner's written opinion upon the matter is not expected for a few days, it is under stood he has told Registrars Heating and Kno1lmeyer orally that it is his opinion they are not entitled to vote. Among other reasons for his opinion is understood to be the one that only male electors are allowed to partici- pate in city, town or state elections, notwithstanding the fact that the statutes say women may vote in mat ters pertaining to the schools of the city town.
 Such being the opinion, MT. Heating said last night that no special ar rangements would be made to accom- modate the women at the polls, all though the registrars cannot prevent them from registering when they make the request.
 The teachers, in spite of the pros pective opinion, have determined to go right on with their campaign of regis- tering to be made voters. They have expert opinion to the effect that they can vote, and they are determined to test their rights in the superior court. The first woman whose vote is chaI- lenged will probably become the plaintiff against the city of New Ha- ven in the test case.
 All the voters to-be-made blanks which the teachers have circulated will be returned to Miss Catherine Brennan, president of the Teachers league, who will turn them over to the registrars.

0hostIy Message That Saved Those on
Board . Sinking Ship.
Robert Dale Owen is authority for
the following story:
The mate Of a bark which was sail
ang souwestward across the banks of
Newfoundland was in the cabin work
ing out the vessels course when he no.
ticed a man sitting at the other end Of
the table busy writing on Il slate.
Thinking he was the captain. he paid
no further attention, but presently.
looking up from his calculation, he saw
the man suddenly disappear.
Startled, he went across, picked up
the slate and found written on it.
"Steer to the nor'west."
He called the captain. The writing
was certainly not that of any of the
crew, and eventually it was decided to
obey the strange order. The vessel was
put In a nor westerly course and a man
stationed at the masthead to keep a
sharp lookout.
In a few hours they sighted ice and
among 1T. in an almost sinking condi-
tion, a big ship. They reached her just
in time to save her people. Among
them was passenger whom the mate
recognized as the stranger who had
written the direction on the slate.
According to the other passengers,
this man had been in a deep sleep or
trance at the hour at which the Incl
lent had taken place.-Exchange

COULDN'T PLEASE HER.

The Woman Whose Husband Never
= Had the Right Change.
A prominent broker remarked the
other day that he thought his wife was
the hardest woman to please In the
wide world She was always asking
him for money when he was home.
John" she would say, give me AZ
cents. The grocery boy is here with a
BILL" II can't give you Al cents,' he
would reply, "but here's half a dollar"
"Oh. you're the funniest man; you
never have the right change" A dozen
times a day she would ask for few
odd pennies.
Finally the broker went into the
subtreasury and obtained 800 worth
of bright new pennies. There were
10000 pennies, and he packed them in
a suit case and logged them home
Then he went to blacksmith shop
and had an iron tripod made, and upon
this he hung the suit case filed with
pennies.
The next day the butcher came with
his bill. 1t amounted to 1857. John"
said the wife. 'give me $5.67." you
will find it on the tripod" he explain
Cd. The wife returned in a moment
in a great rage. "Why, John" she
cried. I'm not going to count out SCI
pennies for this man! I'd be ashamed.
It's wonder you can never have the
right change. York Herald.

Without Them eurma's Teak~eod
Trsie Would Lansuish.


Since 1886 the export of teakwood
from Burma has increased enormous
Iy; but despite the phenomenally high
price Of the wood, 1t would not be
profitable to work 1t, even in these
days, without the elephant. In this
trade the Burmese elephants. massive
animals whose strength is almost I'M
limited, are seen at their best as beasts
Of burden.
From the time when the forest areas
are purchased, before the trees are
felled, to the hour of export on the
ocean going vessels at the port on the
Indian ocean the elephant is the main
worker. Far away in the malarial
swamps and almost impenetrable jun
giles this majestic beast first tramps
down a passage through the under
growth. Then. guided by his Indian
keepers prong, the elephant COM
mences his arduous labor Of dragging
the felled trees to the river, whence
they are conveyed by raft down coun-
try to the sawmills.
These enormous trees, untrimmed
and cumbrous, are sometimes dragged
I'D and down the jungle and mountain
forest pathways en- route to the river
with rare precision. At the mills
again the work of packing and stack
ing is done exclusively by elephants
When the trees are sawed into lengths
the elephants do the piling, bringing
the huge planks from the sheds and
arranging them in an orderly manner
In numbered piles.-ArgOnaut.

You Can't Buy Cigarets Now i!
You Are Under Age of Fl Years

Proprietors of local cigar stores and

hibiting the selling of cigarets to
minors. Every young man who to the

required to sign paper swearing that
his age is at least 81 before he is able
to buy any of the coffin nails" Boys

gars or nothing.
Although the sales on cigarets have
decreased greatly since the police an
nounced that they would enforce the
ordinance, pipe dealers are very much
gratified with the change, they say.
The police state that the law Is be-
ing well kept, no one having been

FIGHTING BOB" EVANS.
HE Meeting With His Confederate
Brother and tho Result.

Brother and the Result.
Tradition has it that after young
Robley D. Evans went to Annapolis he
wasn't long in showing his mettle.
The story Of his first assertion OF his
personality runs after this fashion:
When he left for the Naval academy
his mother gave him framed copy Of
the Lords Prayer and instructed him
to hang it over his bed. He complied.
Notwithstanding the fact that the rules
of the academy forbade the placing of
decorations in the rooms. An inspec-
tor demonstrated with him and ordered
him to remove the prayer. Evans
swore that he would smash the face Of
the first man who touched it. The in
spector referred the act Of insubordi-
nation to the commandant, who took It
up with the secretary Of the navy.
Evans wrote home about the episode
1t got into the papers. An indignation
meeting was held In his home town
and a protest made to the president.
In the end a special dispensation was
granted. allowing the cadet to keep his
decoration"
Being Virginian, young Evans was
urged by his mother to throw in his lot
with the south when the civil war
came This he declined to do. so it fell
out that he and his brother fought on
opposite sides during the civil war.
On one occasion Robley Evans entered
a restaurant in Washington and OBJ
served his brother eating.
AN exchange of glances between US
was quite enough" said Evans after

either Of us. He paid his bill and has

Robespierre OF the French revolu-

long before his frightful career OF pow

ponents OF capital punishment While
he was still an obscure advocate at his
native Arras he threw up an appoint

form Of penalty. And just when his
star was in the ascendant he boldly
harangued the national assembly TO
