A. Female Lawyer i'm a Rage,

A curious scene occurr d recently in
the Milwaukee municipal court-a tri-
bunal which, we pr. sumo, corresponds
to a police court with us. 1t seems
that Miss Kate Kane, a "lady lawyer" /"
is a member of its bar, in full practice,
and ION several occasions has exhausted
the patience of the court by methods
of procedure not in harmony with the
rulings of the Judge" Not content
with exhausting the Judges patience,
however, she imprudentiy resorted to
a new method of displaying her dis
satisfaction with his rulings by throw
ing things at him. She first tried to
shy an inkstand at him, and, failing in
this attempt, she dashed a glass Of
water in his face. The trouble arose
out of the judges refusal to assign her
as counsel to a prisoner who wished to
have the benefit of her professional
services. The court fined Miss Kane
$50 for contempt, which, however, did
not q net her, for "she spoke her mind
freely to the Judge, using anything but
gentle expressions. '-Neio York Ece1-

that we have sem letter from the
Commander of the Gordon Castle { Cas-

fortunate enough to save life at sta,
and who for his gallant conduct was
presented in September last with Il
Gold keyless Waltham Watch by the
PRESIDENT of the United States. on be-
half of the London Local Marine Board.
Referring to this Presentation Watch,
he says: "When I left London the
watch was six seconds fast, and on nv
arrival at Singapore it was only three
seconds slow, a most extraordinary
performance for a watch, as carried
it on my person che whole time. |
compared it every day with my
chronometers on the passage out, and
it seldom or ever differed one second
from them ; in fact, found it almost,
If not as good as my chronometars,
which is great deal to say for a
watch carried about and subject to ali
kinds of jolts. ."-London, England,

with gripor pincers, running under
