PAYING POLL TAX.

Those women who desire 10 par tieipate in the privilege of voting next year must have paid their poll tax for this year, and the woman who has not done so by the expiration Of the collection period will not be able to pay and vote. The law requires that a person must have paid poll tax in order to vote, and to pay de- linquent does not carry with 1t the right of suffrage. These points are merely emphasized in order that the women generally may understand their new privilege and avail them selves of the benefits of it if they care to do so. The suffrage of women will be treated lightly at first and the vote will be small, but 1t will in. crease, and in time all the women generally will take part in the polite. al affairs of the section. It Is much better for the cause If others than the mere enthusiasts pay now and vote In the first election after they have qaallfied, that the system might have . good test.

 Mr poasborP represents the pro moters and stockholders of the Jef lerson Fair Association, under whose auspices the races will be operated.
 He personally vi tied the horsemen at Oaklawn and Essex and displayed charts of the new race track and from the prospectus the venture is de- sirable one.
 We have purchased a tract of land, eighty acres in all, which will be transformed into one of the prettiest far grounds in the country" said MT Boasberg. The new race course will in no way conflict with the New Or leans sport, which begins on New Years Day Our track will be located just six miles from the Crescent City Ground for the clubhouse and course will be broken next month.
