a Puget Sound exchange says that
Chief Justice Greene, of Washington,
pays compliment to women jurors
as follows: ~ can say my expectations
as to the qualifications and capabil-
tiles of women as a rule for Jurors
Were very high, and the results are
fully coming up to my expectations.
OF course men who make money by
questionablep practices naturally shrink
from having their doings judicially
Investigated by pure minded persons,
and hence there is naturally bitter
opposition to women serving as Jurors;
and at the same time many of our
best women shrink from jury duty
as one would shrink from "a cold
shower bath, yet in nearly every
instance where they have had COM
munication with me after having
served on jury, they have expressed
satisfaction at having performed duty.
We need them to purify and elevate
the machinery of Justice"

The British forces on the Red Sea
in Egypt had a great battle with the
rebel forces last week The losses
were 100 killed and $50 wounded on
the British SIDE, and over 2000 of the
Arabs were killed. The severity of the
fight may bejudged by the great losses.
The Arabs made it a hand to hand
conflict, fighting with desperate brav-
cry, caring little for their terrible
losses in men, guns and camps. The
superiority of well disciplined troops
was well established in this severe
battle at Tamanieb.
