Mrs. ANNIE ID. CLoPPER is among
the moet extensive breeders OF fine
horses in the Ststs OF Colorado. She
is said to supeIintend der farm with
the knowledge and care that might be
the envy OF many men in a like voca-
ton. She holds regular sales once or
twice year, at which time she offers
100 or more horses OF grades from the
ordinary TO the best that can be had
in the State. She is the only lady en-
gagged in that business, 30 far as
known, and she has been highly sue
cetsful.
AN amendment to Judge Forbes's
bill, proposed by Mr.. Blackwell, would
make the penalty for the crime OF Sc
duction both fine and imprisonment,
instead OF the one only, and would
add clause attaching a special pen
atty in the case Of persons over twenty
one years OF age (men or women) who
seduce minors hitherto presumably
chaste. Mrs. LiveImore, Mrs. Shat
tuck and others urged that legal con-
sent should be based upon mental ma
turity, the same as in other cases OF
contract, at twenty.one years ofsge.
The women OF the Operative Tail
orS Assemblies OF Boston came out
in a card last week in the Boston pa.
pers to say that the statement made
publicly by the employers contains
not a particle OF truth" They gay,

persistently misrepresented us" that
no tailoresJ gets 50 week only one
gets as much as 81 90; aud some only
81 80. The women sign their own
names, and are evidently prepared to |
stand by their statement. II is the |
simplest justice that the same work |
equally we'll done should have the
came value, no matter who does it.
MEs ELLA Q. SABIN, principal OF the
North Schco', Portland, Ore, was re.
Gently nominated for the Office OF
County School Superintendent by the
Democratic Convention. A high tri.
butte was paid her as an efficient edu-
Gator, and she was nominated by ac-
clamation, with the expressed declara-
ton that II she would sccept the can
didacy she should be elected and her
eligibility to the office defended II
quest! oned. 1t is a matter OF general
regret that Miss SAbin felt obliged to
decline the honor because her present |
position would not permit her to give |
proper attention to the duties of that |
office. Another woman, Mrs, Alice Q. |
Cove, has been nominated to fill the
vacancy.
DIR. HoRowITz OF Frankfort the
Main has purchased a work entitled |
JudiScIe Aerste in Frankfurt, in which |
the learned author mentions the in
teresting IA { that as long as $50 years
ago Jewesses practiced in that city as
doctors. They especially devoted |
themselves to opthalmis. The female
oculist, DR.. Zsrlin, whom we meet
with in this volume as having prac-
ticed in the year l42S, ventured TO re-
side outside the Judengasse, and be.
lieved that che could claim exemption
from the payment Of taxes on account
OF her talent and the general esteem
in which she was held. The Munich
pal Council rejected her application,
and in 1889 they ordered that Jewish
lady doctors should either quit the
city or pay taxes like other Jews. A
Jewess dooiress wac, however, more
fortunate in the year 1904; she was
relieved from the payment OF "sleep-
ing money" tax imposed on foreign
Jews for every day that they stayed
in Frankfort. With this exception
was coupled an official recognition OF
her profession, which was OF the ut
most advantage to the lady.
SARAH SAVAGE, an unmarried wom-
an thirty.seven years of sge, born in
Ireland, who came TO this country in
1865, applied to the Second District
Court at Fall River, a few days ago,
for permission u file her primary
papers for naturalization. Judge Bais-
dell said II was a novel application,
and he had never heard OF such a
Nhluk boloios uAls AAlkklubOn ntAl hp-
piled TO the Clerk OF the Superior
Court, and he was equally in doubt.
Several attorneysat-law were also
seen, but no positive information on
the matter OF such an application
could be had. Mr.. Ststson, OF the
United States Court in Boston, was
next seen, and he said il was not an
uncommon thing in Boston to admit
women to citizenship. The Constitu-
ton sayA that aliens may be natural
lied, but says nothing against its APP
plication TO women. Monday mcrn.
ing Miss Savage appeared again in the
Second District Court, aud was allowed
to file her primary papers. The New
Bedford Mercury says that this is the
first Gaze Of the kind ever before that
court. But the naturalization OF
women is nothing new, Women have
taken out naturalization papers for
generations. Some forty years ag),
