THE most prominent candidate for the next Governorship of- Wyoming is a woman. That statement dses not sound so foolish when it is remembered that the women of that State are infavor of her, and intend to vote for her, besides promising to wear fewer bonnets if their husbands do the same thing.
Mct'OKDSVILLE.
Our motto is, "Look up, lift up." The 4th quarterly conference of the M. E. church was hald here on Monday. Protracted meeting began Saturday night, the outlook is very promising for a large revival. Minister and members have joined hands and are all working in harmony. The Epworth League meets every Sunday eveniDg at 6:30, it is doing a great work, and is proving to be a great help to th3 church.
John Hervey reports that a gi eat many grasshoppers may be set-n near Fortville. While this sounds a little "fishy," we, however, bave no reas-ous to disbelieve the report, as Mr. Hervey has always proven himself to be a true and honored ci.izen, of our little village, a very successful and conscientious school teacher, and at present is teaching a very successful school at the Cook school house south of Fortville. His school will be out about the middle of March. He will probably hear frogs and see snakes by that time. Keep your eyes open John.
Edward Day, a street car conductor, of Indianapolis, spent Sunday and Monday with his parents here.
Dr. Brown, of Brightwood, was in our village Saturday night. He is taking the Chapter degrees-) in Masonry here.
Dr. Heltman was given the council degrees in McCordsville council 52 R. and S. M. last Tuesday night.
Mr. Montgomery, editor of the Greenfield REPUBLICAN, gave our village a short call last Friday evening. He has many friends and subscribers here.
Prof Stookey and I. H. Day, of the McCordsville schools, attended the funeral of our County Supt.'s wife Sunday. This is looked upon as very sad death by Mr. Jackson's many friends here.
Both Sunday schools are in a splendid condition. We believe that we now have one of the best graded schools in the county. Teachers and pupils are working in harmony. We feel that we can not praise the work of Prof. Stookey too highly, as he is by his efforts, and the assistance of his assistants bringing our schools to a higher and a higher plan all the time. He intends teaching a normal here in the sp ring, beginning about two weeks after the close of the present term. He will have one assistant and more if necessary to meet the demands.
John S. McCord, of MtCorafort, showed his smiling face here last Saturday. He will soon become a resident and merchant of this place.
J. G. McCord, C. Luse and I. H. Day attended Masonic lodge at Oaklandon last Wednesday night.
George McPherson is spending a few days with relatives and friends here. One by one we pass off the stage of life, but the play still continues.
A basket supper will be given at the McCordsville school house, Saturdey night, Feb. 8th, beginning at 7 o'clock. A short program consisting of songs, declamations, quartettes and solos will be given, after which supper will be disposed of in the usual manner of basket suppers. Let all patrons, pupils and friends of our schools assist in making this one of the social events of the season Ladies with baskets will be admitted free. Each gentleman will be charged an admission of 25 cents at the door, which will entitle him to supper with a lady. As this is the first entertainment given by the McCordsville schools this year, it is expected that every one interested in school work, will strive to make it a success, both financially and socially. We have already an excellent library of books which are eagerly read by the pupils. The proceeds of the evening will ba spent in the purchase of more books, and it is very important that everyone should strive to make it a success. Anyone wishing a book ..from the library to read, may have the same by calling for it.

When Mrs. Gen. Tom Thumb, Miss Jennie Quigley, the Count Magri and the Baron Magri, the four clever little people comprising the American Lilliputians, marched "front and center" upon the raising of the curtain at the Grand last night, they were met with a burst of applause from a well filled house. Then four little heads bowed gracefully and from that moment the audience was theirs. No matter what they did—sing, dance, talk, waltz, fence, box, imitate— it was all one. It was amusiag and decidedly clever. At the glance no one would ever accuse Count Magri of being proficient iu vocal art, but when in the dainty midget comedy,
"Two
Rivals,"
built to fit its cast, he struck up "I Have Sighed to Rest Me," from II Trovatore, and the baron joined in the exquisite duet, the effect was electrifying. But the program held a still greater surprise, Miss Jennie Quigley proved a veritable Lilliputian nightingale and imparted so much of sparkle and sweetness into her atchv little songs that nothing would do but that she must return to the stage the third time. Her's will be an ovation at today's matinee. Mrs. Gen. Tom Tbuml also cacue in for a thare of the vocalist's honors. Whenshesang "I'm 63," jusf. as she had sung it for 6,000 times before, prolonged applause demanded au encore. The specialties and specialty people carried by the company were, upou the whole, excellent. Aime. Trazom was troduced in Fome astounding f-o c.il 1 e«i hypnotic feats, aud the three Les Kreie.s Renos are proficient fellows in co tortion and knock about acrobatic turns. The engagement terminates with tomorrow night's performance, and it is to be re ^retted, for the company is unqualifiedi\ the most entertaining lot of entertainers which has appeared at the Grand this year.—Indianapolis .T^nrnMl
Helen A. Whittier.
Miss Helen A. Whittier of Lowell, Mass., is president of the company that operates the Whittier cotton mills, located on the Chattahoochee river, six miles from Atlanta. On Jan. 6 she pressed an electric button and put the spindles in operation, opening another industry for Georgia and giving employment to between 300 and 400 persons. The building of the mills was begun last springj-s^They have 10,000 spindles and one of the best equipped plants in the country.
She Is Not a Wheelwoman.
Mrs. Lynn Linton, whose admirers say that she is a severe critic and others that she is a chronic grumbler, is criticising or grumbling now, as preferred, over the bicycling craze, whioh has swept over England, and which she calls "a cross between the tightrope, and the treadmill." It is, of course, needless to add that Mrs. Lynn Linton is not herself a wheelwoman.
Very Like a Yell.
Smith college has no "yell. Its president announced this officially some time ago, but the young ladies of the college are sometimes, in moments of excitement, heard to utter a cry which runs thus: "Rah, rah, rah—Soph-i-ah —Smith." Sophia Smith was the founder of the college, and if this is not a college yell, what is it?—Hartford Times.
A Woman Jeweler.
Miss Annie B. Dyer of Belfast, Me., entered a jewelry store a year ago, intending to learn the business thoroughly. She already repairs clocks, jewelry, eyeglasses, etc., with much skill and will soon begin on watches. She says she likes the business and shall take a full course in it and also learn engraving.
Sensational Tragedy.
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Feb. 5.—A sensational tragedy occurred at Aldrich last night. Sam Boyd, a miner, caught his wife in a compromising position with one Taylor, also a miner, and opened fire on them, fatally wounding both. Taylor returned the fire, striking Boyd in the leg.
Elvira Boothman of'^Evansvllle, Ind., has been granted a divorce from Edward Boothman. She has had seven husbands and now has five ex-husbands. She has been divorced six times. That comes pretty near boing a record for one woman.
Miss Mary Field, the eldest daughter of the late Eugene Field, is preparing herself to read in public from her illustrious father's works. She is a remarkably handsome young woman and will make a distinguished appearance on the platform.
A young girl, Anna Stelzer by name, inherited a quarry of late. Now she not only bosses it without any help, but works, too, practicing every day as a stonecutter in the yard adjoining. The place where she lives is Zobten, on the Bober river, Siberia.
Both the Princess of Wales and the Princess Louise—the marchioness of Lome —are capable of raying the right thing at the proper moment, and tlio Baroness Bur-dett-Coutts and Lady Randolph Churchill can both speak in a thoroughly earnest manner, almost without preparation of any kind.
Miss Penrose, whose academic career at Oxford and London has been highly distinguished, is prominent in the effort toward the admission of women to the degree of B. A. at Oxford. In a recent speech she said, "It is to Oxford, the university of movements rather than of men, that women are now looking."

A MELBOURNE MAID.
the Fight That Is Being Made Over ••Rational Dress" In Australia. Although as yet rational dress has not met with such general acceptance at the bands—or should we say legs?—of Australian women as their French and American sisters, still there are daring Spirits among them who do not hesitate fco boldly adopt the bifurcated garb and flaunt it in the eyes of the public. The picnic at which a number of Melbourne Women figured in male costume and lived for a day or two after the masculine fashion in tents has been illustrated in this journal, and readers have also been presented with the Australian Rationalized female as she appears on the bicycle. Here is a picture of the Australian girl in a new role, that of riding horseback, manlike, clad in the double barreled garment. The young lady in question is an art student at the Melbourne National gallery, and with her brothsr she rode 300 miles in ten days through Gippsland, one of the roughest and most sparsely populated portions of Victoria, where traveling is long and tiresome, the country mountainous, densely timbered, picturesque, and convenient halting places are few. The young lady is enthusiastic in praise of the rational dress and the greater comfort to be derived from its use, and consequently the more sensibly balanced position of the rider on horseback, as compared with the cumbrous habit and

ungainly attitude which an unkind custom hath invented to mitigate the pleasure of horse riding for women.
While some of the wuruen of Melbourne are thus engaged in a vigorous fight for the knickerbockers, others are waging deadly war against these "abominations," and they have succeeded in inducing the Victorian Cycling Tourists' club to strictly prohibit the use of rational dress among its lady members.
The club is composed of male and female wbeel?sts, and the wearing of the rational dress by a few members was felt to be subversive of perfect peace and pleasure, because those who strongly objected to the garb were forced to ride with the strong minded females, and thus incur the ridicule of a public I not yet accustomed to the new dress and a suspicion that they approved of I women riding in this fashion. So an agitation was set on foot to rigidly suppress these rationalized females, with the result that the following resolution was almost unanimously carried by the club: "That the action of the committee in proposing to pass a bylaw to the effect that lady members of the club be prohibited from wearing the rational dress on club runs be approved and confirmed. The general male objection seemed to be summed up by one member thus, "In the case of the majority of women, knickerbockers simply brought to light all that was least sightly in women."—London Sketch.
Women In Egypt,
A woman writing to a friend from Cairo says: "The city is entirely different from anything we have yet seen. The maximum and minimum of crea tion meet here as nowhere else, I believe, on the face of the globe. Luxurious elegance and abject poverty and filth are side by side. "The condition of women here is distressing," the writer continues. "They are slaves to the caprices of men and are mothers and burden bearers only. Our donkey boy said to us, 'Men go to heaven women go where donkeys go.' We are told that the present khedive has many progressive ideas for his country, including its women. He cannot too soon begin to put them in practice.
London Pioneer Club.
The Pioneer club of London is the leading woman's club in the Eng) ^h metropolis. It occupies a building of its own, fully aud handsomely equipp^A for its purposes, including suits of daintily fitted bedrooms for the use of out of town members. The club has a membership touching nearly 600, and its object is epitomized in some recent remarks of one of its members: "We are not trying to reform anything, but we see things, and we discuss them. Discussion leads to thought, and thought moves the world—even unexpressed thought. This is the generation of thought. The next will be the era of action.
The New Woman's Mecca.
Finland is the Mecca of the new woman. Here there are few occupations which she may not follow. She is employed as clerk, dentist, bank cashier and even as house builder. It is not only the so called lower olasses which are filling the same positions as men, for the Baroness Alexandra open burg is the editor and publisher of a progressive little paper devoted to the interests of women.
A Challenge.
There is no instance on record where woman suffrage, once conceded, has ever been repealed by the voters. We invite the opponents to account for its invariable popularity. A tree is known by its fruit, and the fruit of woman suffrage, always and everywhere, is good government.—Boston Woman's Journal.
