woes as lawyer had only nicely begun.
Several courts refused to permit her to
practice before them, and would not
even hear her in her own behalf, so that
she was obliged to impress her husband
into service to argue her cases. After
two or three bills providing for extend
ing to women the privilege of practicing
in the Pennsylvania courts had failed in
the legislature from one cause or an
other, one finally got through after a
three years struggle, and then Mrs.
Kilgore became full fedged attorney
at law, and was admitted to practice in
the supreme court of the state, which of
course carried with it a similar right in
all lower courts.
Since then Mrs. Kilgore's career has
been brilliant as well as a profitable
and pleasant one. She has acquired a
large practice of her own, which has
been augmented by much Of that of her
husband, who died some time ago. She
has on many occasions been appointed
by the District of Columbia commits
sioner to take testimony, and is now also
a practitioner in the supreme court Of
the United States.
Another bright woman lawyer is Mrs.
Mary A. Ahrens, of Chicago, the petite
chairman of the Woman's School Suf-
frage association, Of Cook county. Mrs.
Ahrens is not alone a lawyer, although
that is at present her profession. She
has also practiced medicine, and has
been teacher. a lecturer, an artist and
an amateur foriculturist and horticul-
turist at different periods of her half
century OF. life. In 1857 she left the
Galesburg Qlls.) seminary and married
a farmer named Fellows. They had
three children. Afterward the family
moved to southern Illinois, and while
on sketching tour this bright little
woman fell ON the rocks ard badly in

Mr.. Fellows having died, she was mar

filed with dismay at the prospect OF
having a woman among them Oh the
festive occasion. Her presence would
mean to them the loss of their post
prandial cigars at least, and after the
grave deliberation which the subject de-
manded it was decided to return Mrs.
Kilgore's subscription and let the dinner
be, as heretofore, strictly "stag" affair.
This action naturally elected some
caustic comment on the part of the
talented lady most directly affected, and
the case has been argued, pro and con,
with much vigor.
This setback is but one of many SINH
lar incidents in the career of Mrs. Kill
gore. Probably no person living ever
fought SO persistently for the honor of
admission to the bar.
AS far back as 1878 the struggles of
this lady, who was then Carrie Burn
ham, began. She paid her taxes, which
were, of course, accepted, and then of
fered to vote, but her ballot was rejected.
An unsuccessful appeal to the courts
followed. Some time afterward Miss
Burnham registered with Damon Y.
Kilgore and began the study of the law.
Her application for admission to the
bar was denied by the board of exam
ers and their action confirmed by the
courts. Six years later she made an eff
fort to get into the law department of
the University of Pennsy but did
not succeed.
Miss Burnham's next important act
was to marry Mr.. Kilgore, her preceptor,
by whom she had two children. An
other application to the university fol-
lowed and she was admitted, but her

A remarkable sight is band of Cana

for barter. Though the bulk of these
hunters fetch their quarry in the spring

any time. The procession may be only

carrying nothing but his gun. Then
come the women, laden like packhorses.
They may have sled packed with the
furs and drawn by dog or two, and an
extra dog may bear balanced load on
his back, but the squaw is certain to
have a spine Wrapping burden of meat
and battered kettle and q papoose, and
whatever personal property of any and
every sort she and her iege lord own.
Children who can walk have to do so,
but it sometimes happens that baby a
year and half or two years old is on
her back, while a newborn infant, swad-
died in blanket stuff and bagged and
tied like Bologna sausage, surmounts
the load on the sled.

The Cotton Picker.

The following letter explains itself:
WACO, Tex, March IL, 1892.
Mr.. Harry Hall, Boston, Mass:
Dear Sir-On returning here after an alb.
sence of nearly month in Boston, have
looked up the Cotton Picker Company,
as you request, and find they are quite
active in every department of their fac
tory and say that they are assured of
having no further uneasiness as to
finances. They have purchased very con-
siderable material and increased their
working force from pattern shop to the
finishing room, and claim to be able to
place large number of machines upon
the market this season from the factory
here. Mr.. Campbell Is busily engaged in
getting out models and in application for
patents on points recently developed to
add to q long list OF patents already Sc
cured. Ihave been home but two days.
but have already met Colonel r. B. Par
rott, president; Colonel s. n. Pope, seq
rotary Waco Board of Trade, and many
other prominent citizens, among whom
are DIR. w. q. Tucker, Mr.. A. p. Littler,
cotton buyer; j. j. Rose, cashier First
National Bank. Each of these gentlemen
expresses entire confidence in the great
value OF the Cotton Picking Machine,
and the integrity, ability, ETC., of the
officers OF the company. Each OF these
gentlemen gave hearty and most favor
able co1nrnendation OF the machine and
those interested In it. Colonel Parrott
said 20 II knew the machine does good
work for J, saw it, and it did better work
than the negro cotton picker;" and he
further said he was we'll acquainted with
the majority of the Board OF Directors,
and that they were men Of known fnteg-
rity and ability. He had known Colonel
Gurley twenty years, and said that any
thing Colonel Gurley would say, he would
swear to. Colonel Pope was equally pos
tive In his statements. So you can perceive
that your Investment in the Cotton Picker
is good one. The machines that Will be
put out this year will be much better
finished, more smoothly put up than
those last season, but they can scarcely
do better work. They will be early in
the field, with large number OF ma
chimes, and you may be assured they will
make q great record for the lone Star
Cotton Picker. Yours truly,
w. P. BEAUMONT.

distinction of never having lost case in
court, and the reason Us not hard to find,
for unless there is merit in the offering
clients cause she will not accept it.
Mrs. Ahrens is of a particularly char
liable nature, and strange to say she is
In no sense masculine woman.
The first woman ever admitted to the
bar in France was Mile Sarmisa Bilcesco,
of Bucharest. Mile. Bilcesco is the only
child of wealthy banker, who gave her
an education such as few women enjoy.
The best private tutors were employed
to instruct her, and so well was their
work done that their pupil at the age of
seventeen took the degree of bachelor OF
letters and science in the College of
Bucharest. In compliance with the
wishes of her wealthy and indulgent
father, who was very proud of her at
tainments, Mile. Bilcesco, accompanied
by her mother, left for Paris, and ap-
piled for admission to the Ecole du Droit,
and in the examination surpassed the 500
male candidates. This magnificent
showing swept away the opposition Of
several members of the faculty who had
objected to flying in the face of prece-
dent to the extent of permitting one
woman to enter the school which had
several hundred male students.
During the six years course required
by the laws of France, Nile. Bilcesco
was absent but one day from her studies.
Her devoted mother sat by her side-the
chaperon idea being as strong in France
today as it ever was-and patiently
listened during all those years to the
tedious lectures, which were unintel-
ligible to her, but which were eagerly
absorbed by the judicial mind of her
young daughter. Mile. Bilcesco gradu-
ated with high honors, and at once re-
turned to her native city of Bucharest,
where she is now winning fame and
wealth as lawyer. She is but twenty
three years of age, and is of a slight,
trim figure. She has high, intellectual
forehead, from which masses of dark
wavy hair are carelessly brushed back.
She has the pride of appearance COM
mon to all well regulated females, and
