WOMEN SAVED THE DAYFourteen Voted for a Seliool smcl

Carried «n Election.Special to The Journal.

Clear Lake, lowa, March 14.—For five years ,the little Dutch settlement of Ventura, fivemiles from this city, has annually tried byvote to secure a new $800 scboolhouse, andas often the required majority bas been want-ing. At the annual school meeting this weekthe project again came up and was in im-minent danger of defeat. Then it was thata coup worthy of Yankee politics was cxc- jcuted. The polls close at 4 p. m., and at j3:30 it was evident that the schoolhouse jproject was again defeated. Two of the most

active of the new-school faction quietlydrove away and returned in twenty minuteswith fourteen women living in the district,who, to the disgust and annihilation of theanti-faction, marched to the pells and casttheir ballots for the schoolhouse. Accordingto the laws of lowa, women may vote onquestions involving the bonding of a schooldistrict. The vote stood: For, 42; against,38—and Ventura will have a new school.

Something- About Blanche BoothWho Is Living in Minneapolis.

One of the most interesting persons inMinneapolis is Blanche Booth, who is re-lated to the famous family of Booths forwhom the American theater-loving peoplewill ever have a warm admiration, thatgreat family having left memories thatwill last as long as the theater itself.Blanche Booth is one of t>he few survivorsof this great family and was associatedas leading lady with Edwin Booth inmany of his greatest productions atBooth's theater in New York. She is fa-miliar with Edwin Booth's methods andhis interpretation of those famous charac-ters that memory will ever link withhis illustrious name. She is a good typeof the highest and best theatrical cultureand is a worthy descendant of the Boothfamily. She is preparing to give a seriesof Shaksperian recitals which promise tobe literary treats. In the meantime shewill receive a limited number of stage

students at 28 Twelfth street N. This Iscertainly an excellent opportunity forthose desirous of receiving the instruc-tion of so clever and competent a woman.
