MR EDrron,—When the result of the plebiscite vote was known, I, for one, was very much surprised at the smallness of the women's vote. I have always been in favor of woman's suffrage, thinking that such a matter as temperance would be greatly benefitted by their ballot, and I must confess that when I heard the result of the vote, my faith in women took a ter- rible tumble, especially when I heard men say, "There now, didn't I tell you." I heard more than one good man say, "If the women could not make a better use of w they had, they did not deserve any mo Bat after I had time to catch my breat began to say, "Oh, but there must reason for it." You know, Mr Editor, t a woman has always an excuse ready anything she does, especially when lords of creation begin to find fault her, ao I have been on the lookout for t :reason, and I think I have found it, others have for me. In the first place, women's vote was not a small one; the is, when rooked into, we find it a great larger Oa . n the men's. In some pla they haw- taken the trouble to investig and they rind the women nearly all on right side. Mrs Thornley, of London, had a v good letter in the Witness on thrf snbj and from her position. as President of 1V.CT U.of Ontario; also having taken active part in the contest, she is guar.to know what she is talking about. says, in the first place, the women's li are notoriously incorrect. We can eas see why this is so. A woman cannot her vote in parliamentary elections, Can quently when her name is once on the li no one cares enough about it to appear the Court of Revision to have it taken it is like a chip in the porridge, neit -good nor harm; nevertheless, her na -there causes a false estimate to be ma She may own property in different plat consequently her name will be on each li and will be counted in the sum total of t "woman's vote." If the women's lists we as carefully culled as the men's are, would make a very different showing. But, Mr Editor, there is another way look at this matter, I don't consider t past vote any criterion to judge the press woman sentiment by. In nearly all cas they are old women—about ten widows Iwo spinsters—and when you consider th the woman's rights question is a growth recent years, and that our grandmother and even our mothers, did not think it ju the right thing for a woman to go to t polls and vote, or take any part in suc things. Then we must consider the i firmities of old age, the lack of interest i the world's progress, though many of the put all these things aside and Dame out t vote for "God, and home, and native land. But when the vote, the full vote, as th men now have it, is given to the younge women, the mothers of the coming me women who can think out tome things fo themselves; women whose hearts are i sympathy . with allthat is pure and gco women who are willing to give up some o self for the good of others, women who d net confine all their thoughts and labors t those of their own homes, forgetting tba every mother's son and daughter has claim upon them; • women who believe i working as well as praying, and who wil claim the franchise as their right, and us it when they get it, then, and only then will the true influence and power of wome be felt. MYRTLE GREEN. Pendergast, murderer of Mayor Harr: son, Chicago, will hang on March 23. A thrilling accident happened on the ice bridge at Niagara Falls, Friday, in which two visitors came near losing their lives. Wm. Kelly, jr., and John E. Burke, both travelling passenger agents, visited the ice bridge with Local Passenger Agent B. B. Dennison. After going out on the bridge the part my ,,made the ascent of the ice mountain, and while on the top the wind blew ,Burke's hat off, and it rolled down the opposite side of the mountain and lodged in a crack. Burke, unheedful of the danger, dropped down on his -stomach to reach over and secure it,. His body began to slip down the side of the mountain nearest the American Falls, and he seemed destined to cer- , lain death. He shouted for help, and Kelly managed to seize one of his feet, but the exertion on Kelly's part started him slipping down the mountain.— Dennison,, who is a large, well-built man, grasped Kelly's legs, and thus the trio lay over the top of the mountain. (Other help reached them, and one of the guides helped pull the two railroad men back to safety. Burke had his hat and said: "That is too costly now too wear. It is nearly worth-to•hu- man libet.i'. 1, BOJN T( KAY.—At Grand Harbor, North Dak., on Feb, 6, the wife of Mr Robert McKay, (daughter of Mr John ,Morgan, J.P., Bay- field) of a son.

There were about 250 head of butchers' cattle, 30 calves and 50 sheep offered at the East End Abattoir. The butchers were present in considerable! numbers, but trade was rather slow, as the drobers were asking higher figures than on last week's markets, and, as a rule, higher prices were paid. A few of the best animals sold at about 4 -le per Ib, with pretty good stock at from no to nearly 4c per Ib. Rough, half -fatted steers, and common dry cows sold at about 3c, and the leaner animals at about 2ic per Ib. There is an active demand and higher prices paid for good calves; a mixed lot of eight were sold at $6 each. Prices ranged from $2.50 to $9 each. A lot of good lambs were sold at 41c per lb; mixed lots of sheep and lambs sold at about 4c per ib. Fat hogs sell at from 5c to nearly 5}c per Ib. PORK The Wm. Davies Co., Toronto, writes to the press on the subject of pork prices and duties. The protected packers have so strenuously endeavored to propagate the idea that the duty ensures good prices for the farmers that the views of this firmwill prove of interest as bearing out the univer- sal experience that the home prices of such products are fixed by the price in the ex- port market. They say: We wish to assure them this fear [lower prices as the result of the removal of the duty] is groundless, because, duty or no duty in Canada will not affect the English market in the least, as the price ruling there governs the price here. What will be done in Ottawa in relation to this subject we have no idea, but nothing can be done more certain than this: Tho export to Great Britain of bacon, hams and lard is the cause of the present satisfactory condi- tion of the hog business, which the far - mors now have and which they appreciate. That is the view of business men, not of political wire -pullers or packers struggling to get an advantage over the hog -raiser and pork consumer. They advise farmers, in order to obtain the full advantage of the 'market, to feed long, lean hogs, and kill when they will dress 180 to 200 lbs. Under a new French law cyclists are compelled to have affixed to their,ma- chines a metal plate bearing their names and address, so that the identity of the ruler may be establf hed, in case of an infringement of regu tions.
