A WOman's Right to Practice
Ld1c,

A decision was rendered Saturday,
by the Court of Common Pleas of
Philadelphia, which involved the ques-
ton of the right of a woman to be ex.
amined for admission to the bar. In
December last Miss Carrie S. Burnham
student at law in the Office of Damon
). Killgore, presented herself before
the board of legal examiners for exami-
nation, but the board declined to ex-
anime her on the ground that there
was no precedent in this country for
the admission of a woman to an attor-
ney's practice.
Early in January, her counsel pre-
sented to the Court of Common Pleas
No. /, petition setting forth that Miss
Burnham was citizen of the United
states and of Pennsy lvania, has applied
Tor examination in the regular way,
her papers being in proper form, and
all provisions of law and the rules of
court applicable to students at law
being complied with, and had been re-
fused simply because she was woman
The petition further alleged that this
action of the board prevented her from
earning her livelihood in her chosen
profession, and that in this way was
denied to her one of the most vital
privileges belonging to citizen of the
United States, which "no State shall
abridge," and that equal protection
of the laws" which "no State shall
deny" and that she was thus prevent
ed from "enjoying and defending life
and liberty, of acquiring, possessing
and protecting property and reputation
and of pursuing her own happiness. >"
which, in Pennsylvania new Consti-
tuition, are declared to be "inherent
and inalienable rights" This petition
contained prayer for rule on the
Board of Examiners to show some
cause why they should not examine
her as other students of law are ex-
amined.
After waiting long time for de-
cision Mr., Killgore finally published
letter to the judges which seems to
have been effective in Fastening their
action. Judges Allison and Biddle
denied the motion for rule Saturday
morning, and Judge Pierce gave a
dissenting opinion. To test the cues.
tion further Mr. Killgore has brought
u suit on behalf of Miss Burnham
against the Board of Examines for
$500, 900 damages, which bids fair to
be carried to the Supreme Court of the
United States.

Another Brooklyn Scandal.

AN ALLEGED ELoPKMENT--cHARd OF
CRUEL TREATMENT.
From the New York Tribune Of April 2eth.] ]
Amateur dramatic and musical circles
in Brooklyn are much excited concern.
ing the alleged elopement of Mrs. Loui.
sa A. Ferguson with Edwin Rowe, who
was until recently a member of the Am
aran.h Dramatic Association, and from
which he withdrew after his defeat as q
candidate for President of the organiza-
tion at its last election. Mrs. Ferguson,
who is beautiful and highly cultured
lady OF 25 years, is the wife of Henry c.
Ferguson, who was a stock broker up to
recent date. Mr.. Rowe is a commits
sion merchant and importer in the De-
merara trade, having an office at No. 40,
Burling slip. Now York, but residing at
No. AZ st. James Place, Brooklyn, where
he had a wife and several small child
rem. Mrs. Ferguson was greatly admir-
ed as vivacious amateur actress, and
was also an accomplished vocal and in
strumental musician.
She was married nine years ago, and
duing the past six years she, with her
husband and their only child, Mabel, a
little girl OF four years, lived with her
mother and uncle, Mrs. and Mr.. Miller,
last Saturday, however, she left home
with her little daughter, accompanied,
it is alleged, by Mr.. Rowe. A private
detective was employed by her husband
to follow her, and on Saturday a tele-
graphic dispatch was received from Port
land, Me-, stating that she had been ap-
pretended In that city and would be
brought home.
Saturday night Mrs. Ferguson, her
daughter ..and the detective arrived ia
the Grand Central Depot, at Forty-sec-
ond street. The husband was awaiting
their arrival with some friends, and as
the party alighted from the cars he sud-
denly seized the child and took her to
mis- mothers house on Fifty-secondl st.,
where he has lived since his wife went
away. Mrs. Ferguson, overcome with
excitement, was taken in a coach to her
mothers house in Brooklyn. Yesterday
she visited her husband in this city, and
)esonght him to restore her child, but
he refused, and his unfortunate wife re-
turned to Brooklyn. where she now lies
in n state of complete prostration.
1t appears that Mrs. Ferguson's per-
formances with the Amaranth Associa-
tion were in response to invitations Civ
en- at the request of Mr.. Rowe, whose
intimacy with the lady excited the jeal-
ousy of her husband. Mrs. Ferguson
mother and brother aver that Mrs. Fer
guson did not elope with Mr.. Rowe, but
that she was compelled to leave home to
avoid ill treatment on the part OF her
husband, who, she said, had threatened
10 leave his wife and take his daughter
with him. 1t is asserted on Mrs Fergu-
sons behalf that Mr.. Rowe simply act
ed as an escort. Mrs. Rowe denies that
her husband eloped with Mrs. Ferguson,
and says that, while he never provided
Tor his family tetter than during the
past few months, he has not been alb
sent from home any more frequently
than usual, and then only for day or
two at time. Mr.. Ferguson denies the
alleged ill.treatment. The friends of
the unhappy couple seem hopeful that a
reconciliation may yet be made.

Mississinni steamboat Racing.

Racing was royal fun. The public al
ways had an idea that racing was danger-
Gus; whereas the very opposite was the
case-that is, after the laws were passed
which restricted each boat to Just so
many pounds of steam to the square
inch. No engineer was ever sleepy or
careless when his heart was in race.
He was constantly on the alert, trying
pauge-cocks and watching things. The
dangerous place was on slow, popular
boats, where the engineers drowsed
around, and allowed chips to get into
the doctor" and shut off the water
supply from the boilers.
In the "hush times " of steamboatlng,
a race between two notoriously fleet
steamers was an event of vast importance.
The date was set for it several weeks IN
advance, and from that time forward the
whole Mississippi valley was In state
of consuming excitement. Politics and
the weather were dropped, and people
talked only of the coming race. AS the
time approached, the two steamers
stripped and got ready. Every IN
cumbrance that added weight, or ex-
posed resisting surface to wind on
water, was removed, if the boat could
possibly do without it. The "spars,
and sometimes even their supporting
derricks, were sent ashore, and no means
left to set the boat afioat in case she got
aground. When the Eclipse and the
A. L. Shotwen ran their great race
twenty-five years ago, it was said that
pains were taken to scrape the gliding
off the fanciful device which hung be,
tween the Eclipse's chimneys, and that
for that one trip the Captain left off ilt
gloves and had his head shaved. But
always doubted these things.
If the boat was known to make hel
best speed when drawing 81 feet for
ward and 5 feet aft, she was CAREFUL,
loaded to that exact figure-she wouldn'
enter dose of homeopathic pills on he
manifest after that. Hardly any passen
gers were taken, because they not onl.
add weight but they never will "trin

when there is anything to see, whereas
