PARIS SNUBS OUR WOMEN.
ltefusal of Exposition Management
Bars anAniericanism.
Chicago, 111., March 15. The women
of America, as women, are not to be
recognized by the United States Com
mission to the Paris Exposition of 1900.
There is no woman's department, and
no siecinl building wherein the pro
gress of the sex may be displayed. In
brief, woman is to be. placed on exactly
the same plane as that of man by Com
missioner General Peck.
Paul Blackmar, who is the nbsence
of Mr. Peck, is in charge of ITf? af
fairs of the Commission, said today:
"We are not inclined to be lncking in
gallantry, but the fact remains that
never in the preparations of past ex
hibits at foreign expositions have wo
men been recognized as such, and cer
tainly they will not be in the arrange
ment for our display at Paris.
"The directors of the Paris Exposi
tion would not permit of such discrim
ination in the matter of sexes. America
is the only place in which H is neces
sary for women to insist upon specific
recognition." ,

FOR CHIEF.
Editor 'of Times Visitor: As we have
seen the race for Chief of Police spoken
of iii your columns,) we wish to enter
another gentleman, Mr. Festus B.
Phillips. "They all run but one obtain
the prize." I will say that I have known
Mr. Phillips from childhood. The city
could not make a better selection for the
office. Encourage young Democracy.
A VOTER.
FOR ALDERMAN.
Mr. Editor:
For Alderman in the "Old B'cody Fifth
Ward." We are now in the second divi
sion of the First, but while we have
changed our numbers we have not chang
ed our natures, we want the best, the
truest men, who will represent the whole
people. Men who belong to no one, men
who will do heir own thinking, who
have convictions and the courage to main
tain them. Now there may be, and are
many such in the city but we who are
tax-payers and who take a lively interest
in the real progress of this grand old
city, desire to not only to suggest, but to
urge every mechanic in the city to turn
out and vote and work for the winning
team, Messrs. J. D. Turner and Brown
Pegraui. One comes from the extremp
eastern the other from the extreme west
ern part of the ward. These gentlemen
are the choice of the majority of the
voters. Others had better withdraw anj
let only these two names come before the
primary.

ALDERMEN,

Mr. W. K.
Faisoii and Mr.
Marshall
Silence.
Mr. Editor: There is now, and will lie
until the Democratic primaries arc held,
i great deal being said about who shall
represent us as aldermen from the vari
ous divisions of the city.
While there have been several good
gentlemen mentioned' to serve ns from
I he Third Ward, First Division, it is a
wcllknown fact that only two will be
selected; therefore we must settle on. two
good men.
air. .Marshall rieiice, now serving as
alderman, and tilling the unexpired term
of Mr. Potter, is a gentleman well known
to the citizens of our city. He is a
young man and a siiuon pure Democrat
ami his ability to serve the people of this
division is unquestioned.
Mr. W. E. Fnisou, us aldermatic mate
with Mr. Spence, is a young Democrat,
and a very popular man, having been
for one term chief clerk to Labor Statis
tician Iacy, and recently received the
same upiiointment under Mr. Lacy for
the ensuing term. Mr. Faison's ability
l if serve as alderman is unquestioned by
any one.
Messrs. Spence nd Faisu represents
the working classes, both being skilled
mechanics.
With Spence and Faison and the rest
of our aldermen composed of good, pro
gressive citizens, we need not fear but
what this trust reposed in them will be
nothing more than a broad and progressive-administration.
The election of these two gentlemen
will give entire satisfaction to all classes.
Let us go to the primary and elect Spence
and Faison.
