Boston Advertiser : The Rood people of
this beautiful little city are greatly
amazed to find what a storm of Inquiry
1ms boon raised by their innocent nnd
well-intended action in availing them
selves of a state law granting women
the right to vote nnd hold ofllco in
cities in Kansas. A modest press
dispatch announced the result , and
then came n deluge of telegrams , re
porters , letters , etc. Mary D. Lowman
was elected mayor , Sarah E. Balsloy ,
linn null A. Morse , Emma K. Hamilton ,
Cnrrlo L.Johnson nnd Mittio Josephine
Golden members of the council. They
wore- elected in the interest of public
improvement and law and order iu city
affairs , and their majority was moro
than two to ono , demonstrating that
where the women will turn out and
vote the hoodlum element , the rllT-rafl
of politico where there bo such have
seen their last victory In municipal
elections in Kansas.
The Indies nro cultured , intelligent
wives nnd mothers , thorough represent
atives of the community. Tlio notoriety
gained by the first of their sex called to
such duties was entirely unexpected
and unsought , and their final acquies
cence in the demands for information
comes from a determination to shirk
nothing that may devolve upon them
in n. logitinmto'way.
Mrs. Lowman is the wife of a former
register of deeds of this county , is the
mother of two children , a native of
Pennsylvania , aged 49 ; a Presbyterian
nnd u republican , ns is her husband.
Mrs. Balaloy Is the wife of a lending
physician , a native of Ohio , aged , ' ! G ; is
v Methodist and a democrat , her hus
band being n ropnblicnn.
Mrs. Morse was born in England in
18-13 ; she is a democrat like her hus
band and a Methodist , unlike him.
She is the mother of ono son and the
grandmother of nn Infant girl. Mr.
Morse is n , prominent attorney.
Mrs. Hamilton is a native of Tippo-
canoe county , Ind. , aged 39 ; a zealous
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church and a republican , as is her hus
band , who is a member of the Blue Rib
bon real estate llrm. She is the mother
of five children.
Mrs. Johnson is the wife of the cash
ier of the Oskaloosa bank and has been
u mother ; is the youngest of the olllci-
ils bo ng aged twenty-three , and was
born in this city. She is of u democrat
ic family , her husband being an active
republican. Religiously she is an
Episcopalian.
Mrs. Golden was born in Missouri
thirty-one years since. She is the wife
of a mechanic and the mother of two
bright little ones. She is of a repub
lican family , her husband a democrat ;
religiously a Methodist. All the ladies
are strcng prohibitionists.
This city is not a wild frontier town ,
but an old , well settled community , the
county seat of Jefferson countyin north
eastern Kansas , fortv-six miles from
Kansas City , on the K. C. , W. & N. W.
railroad , and twenty-eight miles from
Topeka , the capital , and Leavcnworth
being exactly the same distance from
each , on the Leavcnworth branch of the
Atchison railroad. The country is
thickly settled with well to do farmers
from all the states east nnd north of us.
The people of the city are highly in
telligent and make this experiment of
woman's government advisedly , with
full faith in the wisdom of the action.
In a retired room yesterday the now
olllcials took the oath of office in a body
and enter upon their novel duties with
a quiet determination to endeavor to
show that woman's rule may bo for the
best interests of the city at largo and
for the welfare morally of the young
men and youths , whoso * temptation
from saloons will be largely decreased.
Women nnd Perfumery.
It is a pleasure to note that the indis
criminate use of perfumes among mem
bers of the fair sex is rapidly decreasing
and that the woman who omplops triple
extracts to sprinkle herself has become
the exception rather than the rule.
Llko everything else , perfumes may bo
legitimate or not according to circum
stances.
Delicate odors , such as violet , helio
trope or orris root , are always permissi
ble , just ns patchouly and musk are al
ways to bo shunned. In any event , per
fume in the shape of a sachet powder is
to bo preferred to liquid extracts , if wo
except ono or two English preparations.
This subtle , delightful scent was first
used by the princess of Wales and later
by Mrs. Langtry , until it finally became
the rage. The chemist , meanwhile ,
1ms made a fortune. A peculiar custom
with fashionable women is to pour ono
or two drops of perfume into their ears.
Nobody nowadays over thinks of putting
perfume on a handkerchief or rubbing
it on one's hands. Laces , underwear ,
ribbons , note paporglovcs und nil small
articles of dross are made fragrant by
largo sachet bags that nro of a size cor
responding to the bureau of dressing
table drawers.
These bags nro composed of silk nnd
nro lined with raw cotton , upon which
the powder is spread. This , in addition
to a very moderate use of a faint sug
gestive odor , such as the wood violet ,
for instance , is all in thowayof perfume
that is allowable by really refined
women. Parisian dressmakers have a
way of sonding.porfumed gowns to their
customers. A strange feature connected
with thib fashion is the fact that
the odor remains forever. A lady of
this city having purchased a costume
whoso every fold breathed the most do-
liejous perfume , sent nn order to Paris
for a sample of the scent employed. The
dressmaker forwarded to her by express
a small bottle of ordinary looking
sachet powder. Accompanying it wan a
bill to the amount of $40. The lady paid
the money , but since then has generally
inquired the price of things before or
dering.
A Fenmlo Authority on DORS.
Boston special to the Now York
World : A Yankee girl , Miss Anna H.
Whitney , acted as judge of the St. Beit
nard dogs on exhibition at the Now
England Kennel club's fourth annual
meet. She is about thirty years old
and is the first American woman to fill
such a position. For years Miss Whitney
noy has boon a devoted admirer ol the
noble dogs of the Hospice and a close
student of the breed. In the winter of
1880-81 she spent several month in Ger
many and Switzerland studying the St.
Bernard. Visiting the llttlo town of
Leonborg , she inspected Herr Estig'a
kennels for the purpose of comparing
his dogs ( the Leonborg ) with the thor
ough St. Bernard. Iu Switzerland eho
crossed twenty passes in order to aeo
dogs amid their native shows , and was
enabled to compare the St. Bernard of
to-day with the portrait of bis progeni
tor , the faithful friend of St. Bernard
de Mentuoa , iu the chapel of the
lory , where Miss Whltnor made a short
stay. Also visiting some of the leading
English kennels , this progressive Amer
ican woman looked closolv at some of
the finest dogs of the breed , among
others Campion Bayard , at that time in
full bloom.
Probably her first work of importance
and a step towards the establishment of
the well-known Choquassot Kennels of
Lancaster was when Miss Whitney se
lected the thoroughbred St. Bernard ,
Brunhlldotho , pick of a litter bred from
narcnls imported , from the kennels of
Rev. J. C. Macdon yof England. Brun-
hlldo is now in her eleventh year , nnd
thus justified MisS.Whitney's early
choice. She is thofunm , grand-dam ,
groat-grnnd-dam , and grcat-grcat-
grnnd-dam of many first-prize winners
on the bench. Her kennel has won first
prize nt all the loading dog shows of the
country.
Miss Whitney ts not a lady of exten
sive means , and her kennels lacks the
elegant appointments to which other
breeders owe so much , and she was re
cently chosen president of the St. Ber
nard Breeders' club of America , but
declined , nnd was chosen vice-president
instead.

What She Told tlio Bur lnr.
Washington Lotte r to the Now York
Tribune : An amusing illustration of
the strength of involuntary impulses
was recently afforded , by the visit of
burglars to the homo of a certain well
known official of this city , who lives
just outside of the district limits in the
country. About 3 oJcloek in the morn
ing ho and his wifohwero suddenly
aroused by the appearance in their bed
room of three maskedj men. Two of
them stood at the headlof the bed , and
with revolvers cocked and pointed at
the temples of the bedCollows , ordered
thorn to ho still and save their lives by
so doing. They complied with the re
quest , while the tfyirA ruffln began to
explore the room. His" bull's-eye lantern
being awkward ho look a candle from the
bureau , and lighting it began to ransack
close tsdrawcrs , boxes and bureaus in the
room. While so engaged ho carelessly
let the parafllno taper drop in swift
succession hot drops all over the floor.
The housewife , though bound to the
pillow by the muzzle of a revolver ,
could not restrain her impulses , despite
the blood-curdling threat of the bur
glar st her side. She half arose in bed
and cried out :
"Shame on you , don't you see you are
spoiling my carpet ? "
An unintelligible grunt was the only
answer.
"Now look hero villian "
, you , again
crisd out the housewife , "I want you
to stop spilling grease all over my car
pet. "
The startled thief , who could not have
hoard her first command , turned around
and mot her blazing eyes.
"Yes , m'm ; I will do it. soon' as how
can't take it with us'Tio
wo , gently re
marked.
The scoundrels at the bedside only
chuckled. At that moment an alarm
clock sot up Its call for an early-rising
servant up stairs. The thieves became
suspicious at once. They snuffed out
the candle and throw a big bag contain
ing their plunder over their shoulders ,
closed the dror behind them and stole
down the stairs , out of the front gate
and decamped.
And then it was that the good house
wife fainted.
A Mighty Female Nlim-od.
Philadelphia News : While at Che-
wola recently I mot Nancy MoKonzlo ,
a noted half-breed womanwho is known
throughout the far northwest from
Montana to Puget Sound. She lives in
a log cabin in one of those little fertile
valleys which abound in the mountain
ous districts of Washington'territory on
the Ohil-charl-a-mouso. Nancy , as she
is familiarly known , is a largo-framed ,
tail woman , about sixty years of ago ,
who takes moro after her Indian mother
than her Scotch father , who was an en
listed man in the service of the Hudson
Bay company.
Notwithstanding her sex , she became
a noted marksman and hunter , which
characteristics distinguish her to this
day. She was married young , as is the
custom among Indians of her moth
er's tribe , to a Scotchman ,
who , like her father , belonged
to the Hudson Bay company , and , after
buffeting with the tide \ of imigratlon
which had begun to "plow across the
Rookv mountains ana up from Califor
nia , they settled in the valley where
she now lives , alone and unfriended ,
save by the wandering bands of Indians ,
who never pass her cabin by , She is
a widow , her husband , Patrlplc McKon-
ale , having died of consumption a few
years ago.
Nancy may be seen evpry flay riding
astride on her tougftpnwiso pony , driv
ing her small band of horses and cattle
to the ranges in the mountains or gal
loping away down the worn Indian trail ,
followed by two powerfully knit and
deep-voiced decrMioUiids , as eho goes
out minting the deer along the moun
tain eidoa , or the black bear in the
swampg , She carries her old etylo
Henry rifle on her shoulder nnd maln-
tainshor reputation as a marksman.
She always baa her moat houses well
stored with venison , white nntlors , bearskins
skins and other trophies supply the
place of furalturo in her cabin.

For balls the newest thing is the flower

Now serges , snowing bars and blocks of

A now shade in pink is called Venus , nnd u
