A number of gen! linen met at the office of the Water Coin- Company, in Parsons' Bazaar,when the several bids were opened, Applegate & Son, of Bradford, being the lowest bidders. Their bid was $37,000, for the erection of a reservoir of 1,W0,000 gal lon capacity, which includes the lay ing of the pipe to Emporium, the Water Company to furnish the pipe.

Suffragettes of France Progress. PARIS, JULY s.—The subdued way to which French suffragists are conduct ing their campaign offers a contrast to the manifestations of their English sis ters. Both seem however to agree on one point, namely that the only way to attract public attention is to do something out of the ordinary. England is a serious country, there fore the suffragettes invent every day new methods to remind the masses of the existance of their cause France has the reputation of a some what fickle temperament, and the French suffragists work in a serious way. The French method seems so far to have given the best results. Already a law has been passed graut iug to woman absolute property in their earnings. A suffrage society has been founded by Mme. Schmahl and neither work nor money is spared to obtain the franchise for women. The Duchess d'Uzes is the vice-president and she gives many brilliant functions for the suffrage cause. The views on women suffrage of some prominent men have just been published and they seem to be more or lees favorable in the woman's cause. Maurice Donnay of the French Aca demy does not approves of universal suffrage, but '"since we call it univer sal," he said, "it must be general if we are to be logical." The dictionary tells me that universal moans general there fore why must half of the population be excluded? Victor du Bled, the author of "His toire de la Societe Franchise," is not only a supporter of the women's cause but is a great believer in their abilities. He is convinced that it is only a ques tion of time until women will succeed in eliminating men from politics. In the next volume of his history M.de Bled has promised to deal at length with the movement. It is the opinion of even the more sanguine partisans of the women poli ticians that at first they ought to be contented with municipal suffrage, at least until they have acquired enough practice to deal with the more compli cated parliamentary questions. Eugene d'Eichthai opposes a mixed parliamentary representation. He suggests the formation of an assembly of women to take charge of all ques tions relative to woman's interests.— Philadelphia Press. NOTES OF INTEREST. Dr. B. H. Detwiler, of Williamsport, aged 79, was stricken with paralysis Tuesday morning. He has practiced medicine in Williamsport HI nee 18tS0. Hon. Franklin Bound, died at Mil ton last Monday, aged 81. He will be pleasantly remembered by many of the old-time Republicans as the Con gressman and Senator from that dis trict. Deceased was a delegate in the convention that nominated Grant and Colfax. He was a stalwart of the old school. The Tariff is made a scapegoat for high prices in regions where the peo ple allow Free-Traders, to do their thinking. That seems to t>e the case in parts of Oklahoma, where an ad vauce of 91 a thousand on common lumber is excused on the ground that the increased Turiff necerwitafed such a course, when its a matter of fact the duty wus reduced 7A cents a thousand.
