4 Female laMHer.

Mrs. Belva lockwood, of the Wash
ingtoh bar, seems to be no better thana
man and a brother. 1t seems that
Mrs. Fanny Kelly Gordon sued Mrs.
Belva Lockwood as Joint maker with
one Elizabeth c. Clark of promissory
note for 81 800, whereupon Mrs. Lock
wood promptly pleaded, al am married,
and my note is void To this plea
followed divers replications and sure
buffers, which brought before Justice
Macarthur, who held the court at the
Federal capital, the fact that the note
had some relations with Mrs. Belva
Lockwood's prtctice as lawyer. Then
the Justice, waxing wroth, and speaking
out with decision that should shame
his brother, Judge Cox, told Mrs. Lock-
wood that her pies was probably good,
but that it was fraudulent one as re
garded her standing as a lawyer. and
that unless she Withdrew the. plea he
would not allow her to practice as ii She
were a single woman. Mrs. Belva
Lockwood, according to the local jour-
nails, ''talked back'' at the Judge after
the fashion of her sex, but she withdrew
her plea al the same. Justice Macarthur
is a sensible man. If a woman can be
''husbsndless'' enough to be IA practicing
lawyer, she ought to consider herself
"husbandless" whenever her profession
al debts are concerned.-N. y. World.

In one Of the offices Of Adams Express Com

neatly framed chrome about ~ by 3 feet in
size, which is looked upon by hundreds of peo-

half dozen rough stone steps leading from
the swarded bank of a placid lake to a little
rustic temple set in the rugged side of the
mountain which rises in stupendous propor-

Success in Farming.

To be successful in farming one must
always be careful in selecting his seeds,
use good judgment in selecting animals,
keep his farm well cultivated and free
from weeds, keep fences in order, and
take good care of tools. He must also,
as an exchange says, be. one who keeps
out of debt, and has a contented mind :;
sends his children to schoolAand takes
one or more good papers devoted to
farm and stock interests. A farmer
who never reads is like machine that
is never oiled-it wears. He wears
himself out, exhausts his land, and dies
poor. One good suggestion found in a
paper or book is worth to men more
than half a life of trials, when not made
intelligently. Don't be afraid to read
and acknowledge that you can learn
from others. No one knows it all.
Somebody knows something you don't.
Let your aim be to acquire everything
anyone can teach you, and it will put
money in your purse, brains in your
head, and influence in your presence.

The ancient device of pouring oil
upon the troubled waters is to be re-
vived. A Mr.. Shields of Perth.h in
vented piece OF apparatus for the
smoothing of broken seas by means OF
oil, and a few days ago the contrivance
was tried at Peterhead, in Scotland,
with considerable success. The oil was
conveyed to the North Harbor entrance
by means of pipe 200 yards long. The
pumping soon took effect on a piece OF
rough water. The oil spread and ren-
dered the harbCr quite smooth over
large area.

A TUMBLE OF ERRORS.

The st. Louis Post Dispatch of the 1911
inst. publishes the following item in il
railroad column:
"Mr Charles Hamilton, superintendent
of the ST. L. & c. narrow gauge goes to
Cairo this evening to be present at the
hearing of the case Of the city of Cairo vs..
the St. L. g. c, railway, which has been
pending for long time. The track of the
road was originally, in 1875, built on the
loyce into the city and was washed away
by an overflow OF the river. The road then
secured temporary right of way further
in from the river, and are still using that
Another right of away along the levee has
been granted by the Legislature and the
grade thrown up all the way excepting
across an alleged street in the outskirts OF
the city, from crossing which the city has
enjoined them except by paying an exorbt.
an; sum for the right, WHICH the company
refuses to do, and hence the proceedings
Very evidently the information contained
in the above item, concerning the legal
contest pending between the city Of Cairo
and the st. Louis & Cairo railroad COM
pany, alias the Cairo s. St. Louis railway
company, and the causes which led thereto,
was turni-h by COL Hamilton himself
aud it ought therefore to be reliable and
correct, but it is not--not in single i'm.
portant particular, For the gross errors
in the item there is no excuse whatever,
especially as they were made upon authori.
ty of Col Hamilton, who ought to, and
probably does, know all the facts IN the
case.
The facts are briefly these; In 1875 the
railroad company had a right of way over
one of the best levee EN- bankments in
the country, and it hal been granted
that right Of way UPON CONDITION THAT
IT MAINTAIN THE EMBANKMENT AGAINST
ANY AND ALL ESCRoACHMENTs OF THE MIS-
si!sIPPI RIVER. But ia total disregard Of
this important condition of the contract by
which the company held its right OF way,
it permitted the river, which was NOT at
flood tide, to gradually wash the levee away,
paying but little attention to the urgent de-
mands Of the city authorities and Others, to
make at least an effort to save the levee,
which could have been accomplished by
the expenditure Of hundred dollars or less
if the company had acted promptly. But
the company did absolutely nothing, and
by its hypocritcal PROMISES to do some.

from acting until after the levee was entire.
ly cut through and the building of over a
mile Of new lovee was made necessary.
Then the railroad company politely inform
ed the city authorities that it did not intend
to replace the levee and the latter proceed
ed at once to build new evee at cost Of
upwards of twenty-five thousand dollars
Whether the city had claims upon Others
for the cost of this evee, is neither here MOI
there. The fact that the railroad company
treacheously violated the most importan,

The celebration of the twenty fifth an
riversary of the Presbyterian church last
night was participated in by a large num-
Der of people irrespective of denomination

profusely. There were garlands OF green
suspended from the ceiling and hung i'll
graceful curves over the pulpit and against
the wall A wreath of green was suspen.
ded over each window, and from each
wreath hung banner Of delicate tint, in
scribed with a motto appropriate to the oc-
casOn. On the rear wall was the inscrlp-
ton in letters OF green, "Pray for the good
OF Jerusalem An arch OF red over the
entrance to the lecture room was inscribed
in letters Of silver The Lord hath been
mindful of US" and on the pillars was,

WAS nearly full OF people to listen to ad

sleu VINO was one or the founders OF the
church. Mr.. Georges address was con.
densed history Of the church from its first
inception, grateful acknowledgment OF
the services of those who were active IN
its establishment, and an eloquent appeal
to those who might take an active part in
making its history during the coming
twenty-five years, to make such a record

the fftieth anniversary as pleasant a retro
