The total vote in Colorado was in

years ago it was 93,000, although 1892
was a Presidential year and there was
a strong desire to make a stand for

were good in 1892, and tho mining

the awakened interest taken by the
male voters.
All over tho State on the eve of Elec¬
tion Day the women went to bed early
with one prominent thought iu their
minds. They would go to the polls
on the morrow; +, ’"y wotrid go early
for fear that some unforeseen circum¬
stance might rob them of tho oppor¬
tunity to vote. This sentiment was
shared by the men, who took rather a
humorous interest in the experiment.
Had it not beeu for tho interest taken
by the women of the household many
men would not have bothered about
voting at all, to say nothing of getting
out early to vote.
In Denver by half-past 6 o’clock in
the morning every voting precinct,
from Capitol Hill to the Platte Kiver
bottoms, presented an interesting
spectacle. Men aud women of all
sorts aud conditions had assembled
to await the opening of the jiolls at 7
o’clock. The air was crisp at that
hour, but the Vcvrkingman was nsed
to tho chill of early morning, their
wives and daughters, wrapped in
shawls and cloaks of rather anti¬
quated style, were unmindful of tho
cool air, while the late risers of the
fashionable districts for once realized
the beauty of an early morning in
Colorado. D. E. Moffatt, President
of tho First National Bank aud one of
the wealthiest men in Colorado, was

occasional voter would
drop m, cast his ballot, and depart as
quietly as he had come. Women in
pairs and in small parties would enter
the booths, prepare their ballots, de¬
posit them in the boxes, and go with¬
out a word. There was a general t x
pression of satisfaction on their faces.
The women were more expeditious
in voting than were the men. They
voted straight ballots, which required
the placing of a single “X” alongside
the party emblem, The men were
slower and more deliberate, In one
precinct twenty-six votes were cast in
twenty minutes, of which seventeen
were by women. The average in many
precincts was one a minnte. Never
was so much straight-ticket voting
done. Few ballots were spoiled, and
tho reports of the election judges in¬
dicate that more men had to be assist
efl to vote than women, Yet in the
counting only a very small percent¬
age of errors was discovered, One
vote showed that the voter, evidently
a woman, had voted for every candi¬
date on every ticket by placing an X
in every space. A few had placed the
cross opposite the name of the candi¬
date for Governor instead of the
designated place, beside the party em¬
blem.
Women in Denver were unusually
well prepared for Election Day, for
they had been playing at eleotion for
weeks. In almost every precinct
•mock elections had been conducted.
Sample ballots were used, and all the
accessories of judges, clerks aud chal¬
lengers were employed. Many women
voted again and again until they wero
thoroughly familiar with the Anstra
lian ballot, whieh in Colorado is
rather a complicated affair, Intelli
gent people learned how to vote a
scratched ballot properly, and many
did so, though tho majority of ballots
in every precinct were straight party
votes.
The remarkable feature of early vot
mg was observed all over the State.
In Cripple Creek, especially, the «arly
morning lines were very long. In
mining camps and in quiet country
precincts the wemen turned out early
and generally with escorts. There, as
m Denver, the desire of the women to
vote induced the men to go to the
polls quite generally, That more
women voted in Colorado than men
would be an absurd statement. Nor
can it be said that the percentage of
female voters exceeded that of the
males, but the undisputed fact thor¬ re¬
mains that this time the women
oughly aroused the men aud caused
them to cast a heavier vote every¬
where than heretofore.
As the Election Day waned the wo
men and business men stirred them¬
selves to draw in the few stragglers.
"Women in coupes and in open buggies
rode from bouse to house insisting
that the laggards must come out. In
one precinct in the residence district
of Capitol Hill only two registered

BARHAMQUILL A EXPRESS FREIGHT.
From the several landings on the
river (save at Puerto Barrio, whence
a railroad extends several miles into
the country) goods are transported
on mule back. Sometimes light, fra¬
gile goods are taken on the backs of
Indian women, a broad hempen strap
passing across the forehead. I have
seen many of them marching “Indian
file” over the mountains to Bogota.
Packages for inland transportation
should not weigh over 125 pounds.
Two of such packages constitute a

Pianos are transported over tha
mountains by Indians, the instrument
being slung to long, stout poles. The
Indians are divided into relays. To
the near-by villages goods are trans¬
ported on “burros” (donkeys), a3

seen a drove of these patient little an¬

STRAIGHT VS. CURLY HATH.
Heavy straight hair cannot always
be dressed becomingly, save in braids,
but the owner of feathery, curly
tresses can generally make the best of
them. When the waviness is not
natural, but acquired, care must be
taken lest the pins and tongs used in
process injure tho hair at the

Women who can wear their hair parted
often do so now, by way of exciting
the envy of less favored sisters, con¬
scious of a scanty allowance, which
must be supplemented by artificial
means.
FOR milady’s HAIR.
Every one wears her grandmother’s
tortoise-shell comb or one jugt as
nearlv like it as she can buy. One or
two fortunate individuals whose grand¬
mothers considerately left broad,
carved ivory combs are wearing them
with charming effect. They were in¬
tended for dark hair and a white
frock, and given these two accom¬
paniments the ivory comb is the pret¬
tiest thing one can with wear. Madonna-like

Girls whose grandmothers left no
tortoiseshell or ivory to keep their
memory green sometimes buy gold or
silver hairpins, which look very well
though not particularly picturesque.
The broad effects are sought by nil
sorts and conditions of women with
out regard to the shape of tlieir heads
and faces. A moon-faced woman with
a broad comb surmounting her head
is not a thing of beauty, though she
flatters herself that she is a “glass of

This coat for a little girl, reproduced
from the New York Mail and Express,
is of wool material or silk, trimmed
with velvet and passementerie.
It has one especial advantage over
dresses in two or more pieces, in that
it doesn’t block the body out into top
and bottom sections. Other things
bring equal, it is more artistic to treat
the figure as a whole than to dress it
in divisions, but not all dressmakers
riso to tho conceptions. Hero are two
new princess “creations”:
One is of green and gold mixed
cloth, with peculiarly graceful drap
eries. Two gold buttons accent the
lower point on the left side. The
waist is close-fitting, with a green vel¬
vet waistcoat opening over a gold
colored crepe plastron. There is a
square figure in green and gold pas
sementerie, a silk muslin bow at the
throat and a green felt hat withplumes
and satin bows.
The other is of yellow brown cloth,
with tunic caught up ou the left side
and laid in folds behind. The corsage
has a Swiss belt and a double-breasted
front, with large revers and big velvet
buttons. There goes with it a brown
capote, with wings and velvet roses.
ALL IN THE WAY BLACK IS WORN.
There are a good many persons who
do not think black becoming, but this
is entirely owing to the way they wear
it. Dead black, enlivened by a color,
is suitable for any person of any age
or condition. Collar, cuffs, a vest or
fiebn of some becoming color and
material, will improvo any black dress
and always looks pretty.
EVENING CAPES.
Beautiful evening capes of velvet or
velveteen are trimmed with fox, Thi¬
bet, mink or some other fur, and
lined with the richest of silks and
brocades, tho lining always in direct
contrast to the color of the caps, such

Bicycle Versus Thoroughbred.
The thoroughbred race horse is be¬
lieved to bo the swiftest animal on
tho globe. So when the king of
racers, Salvator, covered a mile on a
straight track at Monmouth Park on
August 28, 1890, in one minute thirty
five and one-half seconds—which is
still the record—he probably went
tho distance in less time than it was
ever traversed before or since by a
living creat e of any kind moving
uuaidod over tho surface of the earth.
Had any ono at this time predicted
that within five years a man on a
bicycle would propel himself over the
same distance on a similar or any
other track in faster time than that
of the thoroughbred, he would have
been considered soipetliiiia^ '>• time the
•um u#j - yvox At t Uflfc
bicyclist was competing with the
trotting horse, but that he would ever
equal the runner was not dreamed of
even by ultra-enthusiasts.
And yet this undreamed-of feat has
now been accomplished. Since tha
advent of the pneumatic-tired wheel
with ball bearings, records have been
falling before the bicycle more rapidly
than before the trotter—notwithstand¬
ing the phenomenal advances of tho
latter—until of late several wheelmen
have been going miles be ow two
minutes, leaving the trotter quite out
of the race. But no bicyclist had
come within striking distance of the
speed of even an ordinary thorough¬
bred, until of a sudden a professional
racing cyclist, John S. Johnson, tho
11 Western wonder,” took fourtoen
seconds off the bicycle record at a
single clip, and eclipsed not only some
but all thoroughbreds by riding a
mile in ono minuto thirty-five and
two-fifths seconds. The feat was
accomplished over a straight track at
Buffalo, N. Y., on October 2tth. Tho
pace-makers were four men mounted
on a quadruplet machine.
Thus for the first time in tho world’s
history a man has propelled himself a
mile purely by muscular exertion
faster than the muscles of any other
living creature ever carried it over
the earth’s surfaeo. As a triumph of
human development, aided by the in¬
ventions of human ingenuity, over
mere animal development this achive
ment is therefore unique, and worthy
of record quite apart from its interest
to the sportsman.—Harper’s Weekly.
An Old Deed ol the Washington Family,
George H. Rattenbury, for twenty
years a resident of Toledo, Ohio, but
recently removed to Detroit, has just
come into possession of some truly re¬
markable documents. Some years ago,
while on a visit to Knaresboro, in
Yorkshire, England, he learned that
his brother-in-law, William Abbay,
web compiling matter for a hiscory of
that district iu England, and that lie
had gathered some rare data for tho
volume. Abbay died suddenly some
time thereafter, and in a trunk in his
possession was found, when Air. Rat¬
tenbury went back to England to
claim his property as heir under tho
law, a number of rare documents,
books and coins. One of the papers
is a deed from Richard "Washington
dated June 8, 1590, Washingtons and gives the first
evidence of the back
nearly a hundred years beyond what
historians have been able to discover.
Another of the documents is dated
1553, under the reign of Edward VI.
It is a little larger than a quarto leaf,
with a scrolled top as if designed to
fit into a roll. It is a transfer of jirop
erty from one Richard Eariwood. An¬
other document is dated 1516, and is
also a transfer of property from tho
same person; it was issued under tho
reign of Henry VIII. To this are at¬
tached three seals and several tags.
The paper is strong and coarse. Tho
smallest document in the collection,
and according to the opinion of ex¬
perts the most valuable, is about 500
years old, but its exact import cannot
be determined. It is small aud the
paper is yet firm. Besides these docu¬
ments Rattenbury has secured many
rare books and coins. Senator Cam
eron has interested himself in tho
Washington deed of transfer and de¬
sires the Smithsonian Institution to
secure it. Mr. Rattenbury resided at
No. 106 Elizabeth street, West De¬
troit, and is delighted to show his
relicts to those who are interested.—
Chicago Tribune.
Hypnotism in Surgery.
Fifteen prominent physicians of
Kankanee, 111, engaged a well known
hypnotist to demonstrate the value of
hypnotism in medical science, Tha
doctors secured a young maD, a resi¬
dent of that city, to consent to bs the
professor’s subject. The professor
placed him in a hypnotized state upon
an operating table. The doctors ap¬
plied the most severe tests in the way
of liniments to the subject’s stomach,
without any effect. They also ran
needles through the thick part of the
hand without the subject experiencing
any pain. Upon being brought out of
that state he did not know what had
been done to him. The doctor hyp¬
notized several other subjects and put
them to severe tests. Tho doctors de¬
cided that hypnotism could be used in
surgery with great success.—San Fran¬
cisco Chronicle.
