Recognition OF Women.

Step by step, women are acquiring
some new recognition in church and
state. The General Convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church,
which after a session of many days,
closed its meeting in New York city
last week. A considerable amount
of business was transacted, and
much that was discussed, was put
over to the next convention to meet
in 1892. A short time before the
adjournment, the following canon
was adopted:
unmarried women of devout
character and proved fitness may be
appointed to the office of deaconess
by any bishop OF the church"

Cronin Jurors.

The time occupied in securing
jury in the Cronin case at Chicago
was from August 80 to October 22.
about a month and three weeks.
During that time LIS were exam
ined for jurors; of this number about.
500 were rejected because they had
read the newspaper accounts, from
which they had formed some opinion
of the case. Must it be taken as
fact, the reading of newspaper &C.
counts of criminal transactions units
him to be an acceptable juror, es-
pecially if he forms the slightest idea
as to the guilty party to the crime
committed I? The rule governing
the qualification Of jurors may be a
necessary one, but it does assume
that all men, however we'll educated
and possessed of we'll balanced minds
are controlled by first impressions,
and that knowledge of subsequent
facts cannot be relied upon to change
them. It is a poor compliment to
the intelligence of the men of the
times that 500 out of ITS are di-
rected by the court to stand aside,
for the reason they have read the
newspapers: papers which can have
no personal interest in mis-stating
the facts.
