cHAUTAUoUA NEXT YEAR.

With the sale of nearly 700 tickets
guaranteed for next year assuring an
other Chautauqua, people are looking
back on this years program complet-
ed Thursday night as one of the best
ard most varied entertainments ever
given by the Swarthmore system
WHICH Charles Town has had for eight
successive engagements.
Before the close of the last enter
tainment Thursday night, Chairman
II. c. Page announced that a contract
had been signed assuring the return
of the Chautauqua next year. One
hundred and ten guarantors were
wanted, but the number of signers
ran up to ia.
The Chautauqua has been gaining
slowly in favor with the local public,
until now it seems firmly established.
Less effort was required this year
than ever before to get guarantors.
The sale of tickets in addition to
those taken by the guarantors was one
of the big surprises of the early part
of Chautauqua week These had
amounted to $3.50 the opening night
Single admission tickets sold well at
almost every entertainment of the
week.

SPECIAL SESSION OF WEST
VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.

Members of the West Virginia legisIa.
ture which met in special session at noon
last Tuesday hurried to their homes Sat-
urday after the briefest session in the
states history, according to older men,
bers. during which they enacted law
providing for the registration of all wo-
men of the state so that they may be
qualified to vote in the November cleo
ton.
The bill as adopted by the legislature
provides for the following:
The registration of all qualified female
voters beginning not later than October
| /. by house to house canvass
The sitting together of all repistra' 9
on the third Monday next prior to the
general election for additions.
The registration of both men and We
men in counties where new election pre-
cincts have been established. The sp-
pointment OF two additional poll clerks
on the general election day at every
precinct where the registration of voters
shows 200 voters or more one or both of
whom may be female voters of the pre-
cinct and one from each political party.
The number of booths in precincts where
there are 200 or more voters is fixed at
not less than five nor more than ten. In
creasing the pay of all election officers
to five dollars day.
Neither the senate nor the house
sought to pass the bills introduced pro-
viding for the changes in the laws re-
lating to the trial of criminal cases.
This extra session lasted for three and
one-half days and was the shortest in the
history of the state. according to Dele
gate Septimus Hall, who has been
member of the legislature since 1872.
The cost of the special session was
$14. O30 65. which entire amount was in
Guided in the appropriation bill.
Opposition to the house to- house meth
cd of registering women which seemed
quite formidable when the senate bill
providing for this was brought to the
house of delegates Thursday evening,
melted away when house bill providing
for this feature was placed upon its
second reading.
This bill did not contain many of the
features to which delegates objected
last night and others were removed by
amendments. ~
A resolution was passed by the legis-
lature providing for the printing and
distribution of 20, 900 copies of the law
enacted providing for the registering of
women.
The principal items of the cost of the
special session. as shown in the appro-
priation bill. were: mileage of members
of the house. So, 500; contingent fund for
the house delegates, So, 500; pay for
members of the house, ST, 424; mileage
