But, as you say. th • rulihtah was far more than expected, and II | haa been Imporuot.le to remove It all— why la It the scavenger carta make their tegular trips on* to two lime* every day In the principal part* of the j city and seldom vtalt le*« business por- . lion* of ihe city?

I.—Mrs. Reeves, wife j of the gallant colonel of the Thirteenth j Minnesota, arrived on the transport City of Peris as a stowaway. Sb.? de fied government regti'ations and has come this far on the transport and, as was suspected by many San Francis cans, made the voyage to the tropics. Whether Col. Reeves was aware of the preser-C 1 of Lvis wife on shipboard when the Fora sailed for Manila is, of course, not known to anyone but ; himself, and he will not tell. Mrs. , Reeves stepp. -.1 ashore when the transport arrived, smiled a knowing I s-milc, and replied to the question, "Did you come on the Para??’’ In languag" something like this: "Well, I got Acre, didn’t 1?" Friends of Col. Reeves say that the officer did not know that his wifi' was on the steam'.'. The private soldiers of the Minnesota regiment aided Mrs. Reeves in hiding away, and once at sea she was safe from the regulations. Mere women would be interested in the female suffrage movement if it was something that could be decorat ed with ribbens and hung up over the mantel. —Chicago News.
