The apparition wore two seta of spectacles and a grip-sack and carried a portenUoua law book under her arm, She penetrated the acred precincts where the ballot box wsa placed and demanded to be allowed to east her tote. The demand produced a similar effect to the announcement in the British House of Commons that the gentleman known aa No. 1 waa praaent with his gripsack loaded with dynamite." The three judges simply collapsed. Judge T.

H. Tanoe fell into a flour barrel. Judge Beber leaned up stiff against the wall, and Judge Fred Marquardt waa taken with a spasm. When they had in a meaaura recovered from the shock they ventured to expostulate and delicately hint that the would-be voter was not entitled to deposit a ballot. Then the leader of the disfranchised females of tha town rose on tiptoe in her wrath and produced a voluminous brief from her gripf-seok and opsned her legal tome at a certain action marked with a slip, and intimated that she had something to say on that point, and that shs had prepared an exhaustive and x-- baosting brief on the subject, which shs would proceed to read, if the officials would obligingly adjourn the election for a day or two.

1 The threat, combined with the determined tone and the combination gleam from the double glasses, settled the oase for Vance and Saber. They aaid that they had rather that aha raat her vote than read her brief. Marquardt feebly remarked that he should protest against the vote, whereupon tha champion or the cause of woman presented a business card whereon waa printed: PERBT MABTTS, ATTOnXaTS aid couvsciaobs at law, Airo Loaw AOMrrs," I Boom 70, lis LaSalle BU, Chicago. She said she was ths. Martin of the firm, 1 Miss Ellen A.

Martin, and' that shs guessed that shs Was a citizen of that burg, and a such challenged the right of the judges to rs-' fuse her request, Bbe asked if she were not a citizen. Marquardt ventured mildly to submit that shs was in ths sense that she made her home in Lombard, but not in tha sense that ahe had the right to Tote. She then read section 6 of ths charter 'elec tion lews of 1869, wherein it ia set forth that; "All citizens of the State of Illinois above ths Sge of 21, actually residents of the town of Lombard for ninetydays before an election for municipal officers, shall have a right to -vots st suoh election. -Now," asked the petitioner, "don't live acre?" You do," was tha affirmativs mala chorus. "And ain't I over You bet!" from Marquardt with something akin to a snicker, which, however, was imme- diately disguised under a groan, as though tne perpetrator were suffering from a pain in the vest "Then I invokthe majesty of tha lsw, and demand that my vote be recorded." Miss Martin graciously intimated that ahe would permit the formality of challenging her rota to be gone through with, and selected her own enauenger, a young man named Mack, who waa engaged in investigating hia upper lio in aearoh of a long promised and long deforred Mr.

Mack obediently challenged Visa tin, whereupon she awora her own vote in and departed, leaving the occupants of the voting place in a atate of inocuoua desuetude and nsiuienos. Mr. Vance looked over at Mr. Beber, and both regarded Mr. Marquardt, who waa saying something forceful under hie breath.

Then they took turns in going out "to see a man and thereafter felt better. Thia waa in tha forenoon, be it remembered, while the' sun was at his morning chores of gilding and such. Miss Martin, of Perry A Martin, attorneys and counsellors at law, etc, etc, of Cnicago. citizen (and voter) of Lombard, went straight way to sundry meetings thai war in progress, and reported to the eommitteee there assembled and waiting, that the deed waa done and tha victory won; that man, tyrant. Jinaillanimous man, had been routed, horse oot and dragoon, and that all that remained to be done to stamp out the very last squawk so to speak, out of him; was to fall upon him en mesas, while disorganised, and stuff tha ballot bos with- vote of the united disenthralled of Lombard, in Da Page County seventeen miles west of Chicago.

And the sun crossed the meridian In a meek sort of wsy, and tha afternoon was there, and so waa Miaa Martin. of the law firm of. Perry A- Martin, of Chicago; ditto fourteen other women.

Merqusrdt was heard to observe between his clenched teeth that tha whole crowd of women might vote, bnt that they could not make him listen to their law. And so thev and than the InAsaa closed the polling place and put up the abutters and went off to tha corner grocery to lay the wnole matter before the "Judge," who derided them and called them a Deck of old women, and aacervatod that they knew less about elections than hia pointer dog. But the vote want, all the aama, and those jndgea counted those flfteen votes for the Candida tea for whom they were east, and there were more votes east tnan were registerea, and tha luoky candidates were happy and be came convene to tne cause or woman sunrago.

TIN-PLATES WITHOUT POUTICS. sr. New Tork, April 10: Ths new tin-plate industry continues to be ths subject of widely conflicting reports In ths newspapers, though if their editors should devote to half ss much cars as is given to reporting a single base-ball game the matter might easily bs simplified.

A summary of ths authentic information contained ia Surd-ware's news department within ths past sw months shows ths situation to bs nothing mors nor less than this: No one in ths United Ststes claims to-day to be making tin-plate on a large seals. Sdch a thing ia not advertised anywhere, and no ona ia soliciting orders for Urge amounts of tin-plate for early delivery. To thia extent it is true that there is ao American tin-plate industry. By the aama token there la no World'a Fair in Chicago. Bnt while much svstemstie work i being done to have the World'a Pair a reality by a certain date, several reputable firms and individuals assert positively that new works which thsy are constructing arc designed for the making of tin-plate on a large seals soon after- th higher duty on thia product shall havs taken effect thia eummer.

Such preparations are in progress at leys-land, St. Louie, and Brooklyn and at several points in Pennaylvania and Illinois. Meanwhile, some of the parties have produced, on a small seals, tin-piste whioh hss met every test in a manner gratifying to tb makers. It haa been ehown that iron and steel plates of the reauieite aualitv can be made in America. and there ia hare no lack of aneciai skilled labor, many Welsh immigranta having brought witn tnem a anowieage ox un-piate making.

Aa to tin, that haa to be imported bv the Welah concerns, and ths same sources of 'sup- rr. i pry are open mi uuitea oiatea. So much for what hss been done. Benrd- ing the future, ws see ao reason to doubt tnat ths gentlemen actively inters ted in the tin-plcte industry are working in as thorough good faith as ths leaders In sny other indus trial enterprise in tms country, iney havs long been connected with the metal industries, snd have met with success in their undertakings. Generally they have preferred to nave little aaia in print regaraing tnetr plans for making tin-plate, before they are readv to auooiv lanrs amounts to ths trade, and for ths greater part they have not been responsible fur what haa been published about them.

The editor of Mardwart baa treated the whole subject from ths standpoint of a newagatherer without knowing the tin-plate men person ally, without knowing the political bias of more than two of them, without being asked by any of them to print a line on ths subject Besides ths concerns, about which tns facts, havs been printed these pages, there are others in less advanced stages of progress, regarding which Mardwar has trustworthy Information' whioh their projsutors desirs withheld until their plans ars mors complete. It is no secret that more than one corporation in process of organization at Pittsburg for the maung Qf tin-plate made no further progress aftr the elections of Kovember laat. through jthe ear of thsv capitalists interested that the policy of protecting the new industry might soda- reversed. These concerns bavs not been considered, in this article, as having any connection with the future of tin-plate making. So far as tha nsw protective is concerned, no one can derive any direct benefit from it without making tin-plate.

It would aeem reasonable to suppose, therefore, that any firm engaging in ths industry at all should try to prod nee aa many tons per -year as possible, in order to reap the advantages of ths duty, especially since the new tariff law provide for tha reveal of the increased dutv within five pea in eaae it fails to supply ths market to a large extent with American tin-plat.
