Tlie IputlUher of . the New Noutjiwimt are
happy to announce that they will, on jpie 13th
of September, begin the publication of a ferial
atory from the pen pf MrA A. Cleveland of As
toria, entitled "The Beginning of the Knd; an
Kngllshh'ale." ThU story com prise Iwenty-flve
chapter, I of a quaint, peculiar and original
atyle aod carrlee:the cbaractera-throughtlie
different phases of . English law and custom
with strict fidelity to. fact. It commence
with the marriage of the' heroine, and follow her
through the numerous vicissitudes that may be
fall any woman, even In many parts of America,
if her husband Is disposed to take ad vantage of
the Common Law. " The author has worked up the
- Blots andcounterplots or the story in a. manner-
that brUtles Throughout with points of Intense In
.terest. The Incidents follow each other In rapid
euooesslon, and . the different elements of human
passion are vividly deplete!. The story Is a spon
taneous outgrowth of the author's heart and brain
and as such we shall present It to our readers,
without other embellishment than tliat prescribed
by printers' rules. It combines the fascination of
novel with the attractiveness of history.

THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SUFFRAGISTS.
There 1s a cfasa of people who suppose the advo
catduand upholders of the Woman Suffrage
movement are eccentric, fanatical, and totally
different In appearance and dress from the aver
age run of humanity. They person who make
this supposition nave not' Improved their opjor
tunlties for observation, or they would know that
the suffragists comprise , if. hat msy,W termed the
staid and better ortlon of the people; not the
"low," debated and dangerous' elements nor the
''high,' -exeeyi vely faliionable, and geuerally
worthless set but the industrbius and thought

names of a large portion of the 'leading men and
women of the cities' and towns of Oregon and
Washington. ' ' - ; '
We" took the trouble recently to puncture the

ronlon advices report that women -were ex
cluded from the sessions of the late International
Medical Congres, though they had been admitted
to. the six previous meetings. Forty-three prop?
erly qualified women practitioners entered a pro
test against the exclusion, but It had no effect.
Hlsiatches aay tha "at a preliminary meeting of
t the. Kxecutlve Committee, the majority were In
Hiorf almlttlng women, but they were over
rokd by Sir William Jenner, who declared that
h was em powered to remove the name of the
Queen as patron of the Congress If women doctors
were admitted to the medical meetings." We

was he who aatd, when the admission of. women
o tbelmed icaljdepar
was under discussion, that "lie would rather his

slaughter should be on the dissecting table than a
atndent iti the medical school." Rut we are dis
appointed and amazed at Queen Victoria's posi
tion. It displays marvelous Intolerance and big
try. The Indon papers that have mentioned

nals both ln te East and the West readily con
demn It.-We give this quotation from the Stand

Invlew of the fact that there Is some agitation

well to state the experience of Santa Crux, Cal.,
with a similar law; Cigarette smoking has al-

youthful pride and Incentive, and when banished
to the rear to smoke, the boy can't see the "man

SXUDBED -R V THE QUEEN.
' The marriage of the Raroness Rurdett-Co'ut.ts
and MrAshmead Rartlett has subjected .both of
tiiem to an apparently endless amount of abuse
and ridicule, because the bride Is aged and wealthy
and the groom Is rather young and oor. The
paragraphers of the day have opened their batter
les of sarcaum and derision on 'tlie union of a boy
with bis grandmother," and' have malldousljror
heedlessly. cat many a barbel and enVenome!

noble woman the only persou who had marrlel
you pg pa rt ner there: might be some excuse for
these Insults; but every day we read of the mar
riages of aged ' ami wealthy men to young and
impecunious maid. They have committed acts
of folly equally as-great as hers. The union of
crusty put bachelor or. widower ami . a young
woman is certainly none the less reprehensible
than that of a "grandmother" and a "boy." Roth
are unwise and unnatural: Rut 8ocietyraIses no
hue and cry against the men ; the woman only is
condemned. Their act Is not .regarded as a- sin
eveuy buUiers Is treated lalinoat a a crime. The
Rarojiess has always lived a blameless and exem

applause, but I now to.be frowned upon and pun
ished for an act that would attract onlvpasslng
notice, except by reason .of her sex. Truly Is it
said that she Is -a woman whose right liand has
