CARRIE B. KILGoRE,s TRIUmPH.

| CARRIE b. KILGORE'S TRIUMPH.
Carrie B. Kilgors lives in Philadelphia.
She is not q frivolous girl, but Mrs. She is
also Q learned woman, having in her posses
sion diploma pronouncing her bachelor
of laws, which was granted her
by the University of Pennsylva-
mia. But for two long years her diploma
has not done her much good, for she has
been unable to make the horrid men who
| manage legal aGairs in Philadelphia see that
she was entitled to practice law in the courts.
The statutes of Psnnsylvania, like the stat
utes of most other States, say nothing about
| the sex of lawyers. and only require that the
applicant should be ''of an honest disposi=
| ton and learned in the law" judges, how
ever, have hitherto been unanimous, or
nearly so in the opinion that the uniform
practice and custom of the modern world in
confining the practice of the law to men
ought to govern in the Interpretation of such
statutes, and that the only proper way to
change the custom is by an act of the legisla
ture. Three separate courts in Philadelphia
have taken this view.
Mrs. Kilgore has persistently and pluckily
refused to be squelched by the learned
judges who have decided against her, and she
has finally found a judge who has admitted
her to the practice of law, and the reasons
which governed his actions are very plausi-
BILE, to say the least. He declined to enter
into controversy on the subject of women's
rights and decided the case on the following
grounds: First, that ''if there is any longer
any such thing as what old-fashioned philoso-
piers and essayists used to call the sphere of
woman, it must now be admitted to be ''a
sphere with an infinite and Understandable
radius" that she is 'fOund in all the pur-
suits and professions of ifs;" that people
Who talk of her admission to these as IAN
impending social change" are asleep
and ought to awake from their
slumbers'' and recognize the fact that 1.-The
revolution is over" and finally that it would
not be in the line of ''wise Judicial discre-
ton" to attempt to "turn backward the
Wheel of Time to convince history that it is
all wrong, and to say at this time of day that
woman shall not be permitted to pursue the
vocation that suits her taste, and for which
her studies have qualified her."
This will strike most people as having
good deal of common ssnae in it. The time
has gone by when a woman can very reason
ably be refused the privilege of practising
law Just because she is a woman, provided
she knows enough to practice law. The ad-
mission of few women to the bar in this
country will probably not seriously damage
or elevate the noble profession of law. Those

Value of Skill at Whist.

William Pole in ''Ths Philosophy of whist"J
Turning to the element of pers onaI skill
it is difficult to get at statistics that are to be
relied on. ga little whist schoor' under.
took, as part of their scisutifc investigc.
tions, an experiment of very novel and in
teresting kind to test the value of skill
Two rubbers were formed in two adjoining
rooms; two very good players (9ood in both
system and personal skill) being partners
against two Indifferent partners in each room
The cards were dealt in one room, and note
being taken of each hand, the same cards
were reversed in the other room Chose held
by the good plas ers being now given to the
bad ones, and vice versa the order of the
hands being presersedl, and the hands were
played again. At the end of each hand the
result was noted for comparison.
In room six rubbers were played COM
prising 83 hands, the good players in this
room holding very good cards, and they won
four rubbSrs out of the six in points of
balance of 49, In room 3 the good players
had of course the bad cards the SO hands
in this room made up seven rubbers and the
good players won three out of the seven,
losing seven points on the balance. The diff
ference, therefore, was II points in favor of
skill, or nearly one point per rubber.
A comparison of tricks only excluding
honors showed some curious results In
seven ont of 32 the score by cards in each
room waz the same-that is the same hand
being played over twice, the result was the
same at both tables. In 18 hands the score
by cards was in favor of superior players
in eight hands in favor of the inferior. Ia
one of these hands one of the bad players
wen two by cards at one table and three by
cards at the other, having changed cards, be
it remembered. showing that bad play some
times succeeds.
The grand result was this: That at both
tables the superior players gained the naier-
ity of tricks. In room the good players
with the good cards won 10 by card; in
room B the good players with the bad cards
won two by tricks. The above resuIt cor
responds fairly with the maximum amount
previously estimated but the conditions as
sumed in both cases are so exceptional that
soeh high advantage cannot be expected to
obtain in practice, and 1t is perhaps more
useful to inquire what results are given by
actual experience in ordinary play.
The total number of different ways in
which the 81 cards may be distributed among
four players amounts to SO, ga, 737, ,765, 1885,
792, S39, ,23T, ,44O, 600. This number does not,
however, represent quite accurately all the
varie les of hands that might occur in whist.
1t would be increased by considerlnR tAe
trump card, az in the same distEihntton OF
the hands, different card being turned mp
and . different person being dealer, would
give rise to different variety AGAIN.

COMMUNICATIONS.
West Haven Not Unanimoz

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Only one side has as yet been heard in the
matter of the proposed branch railroad to
savin Rock, and the people of Wsst Haven
have been made to appear as unanimeusly
in favor of the project. We naturally hear .
great deal from combinations for speculation;
| they paint in glowing colors, besides giving
much in time and money to further their
enterprises fer gain; and the combination,
formed principally of those interested in
land speculation on the shore, which has
been assiduously booming the project of
building the railroad at grade by the central
route through the borough of West Haven is
not an exception to the general
rule. They have gained considerable follow
ing in West Haven, besides some
in New Haven, of those whe are either
or through personal friendship favor the
project.
But it Is not true, as has been represented
that it is the exception to find residents of
the borough opposed to the building of the
road at grade. There are a large number of
such, and chiefly composed of those who in
tend West Haven as q permanent place of
residence There has bsen no organized op-
position, but renonstrance was circulated
and recsived the signatures Of sixty resi-
dents, including some of eur naost prominent
men, large property holders, prominent busi-
ness men, former Ward0nG or the borough
ETC., living in the center, on, or near, the
principal streets which the road would sress.
To this list many more names could have
been added A copy of it was sent to the
New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad
and another to the railroad commission ers,
No further effort in opposition hes been
made, for the reason that those who would
be first to move in the matter, had it been
deemed necessary, had confidence In the good
sense of the commissioners and felt assured
that their decision would be in accordance
with the Law and with what il was believed
would appear to them the best interests of
the borough, as we'll as that of the adjacent
towns whose citizens travel our streets. 1t
appears that this confidence was not mis-
placed The objections to this scheme of
Wholesale grade crossing are apparent to all.
They are those good reasons that have led to
the recent legislative enactments in regard to
such crossings.
The report furnished to the Sunday Regis
ter to the effect thai several hundred Tag
the adoption OF the resolution is in keeping
ed from the first for booming purposes
The rooms in which the meeting was held
accommodated only from $50 to 200 persons
AS the report states that only q score of sig
natures was obtained before the lights were
turned out it would be inferred that the
ssseveral hundred" were not SO much ag-
grieeed as has been reported or that only q
very few in the topmost layer had elbow
room to write. HARRY I. THOMPSON.

Utah has now ten thousand small farms
averaging twenty-five acres, and the whole
must be irrigated. There is only enc large
farm in the territory, and it is owned by a
company. The Great Salt Lake, according
to Elder Cannon. contains enough salt to
supply America for centuries. ALI that is
necessary in preparing it for the market is to
drive to the edge of the lake with a wagon
and man with q pair of rubber boots can
load it with shovel. The Salt lies on the
bottom Of the lake in small coarse crystals.
Aftst loading it is taken to grinding ma
chine and being run through it is fit for the
table.

Judging from some remarks by the San
Francisco Bulletin, the Republican national
convention will be called upon to deal with
the Chinese question again. Ia 1880 the
platform declared that Chinese immigration
should be restricted by just, humane and
reasonable laws and treaties. This is appar-
entity not enough, for the Bulletin says:
There Is an absolute necessity for reaffirm-
alton by the Republican national convention
of the principle of Chinese exclusion in more
explicit terms. At some time in the future
that principle will have to be expanded. 1t
would be only playing with great question
to have another exclusion of ten years after
that which is to expire in 1892. Either now
er in 1888 ths proposition of perpetual ex-
cIusion will have to be set up.
