Bucharest La compliance with the
wishes of her wealthy and indutgent
father, who was very proud of her at
tainments, Nile. Bilcesco, accompanied
by her mother, left for Paris, and ap-
piled for admission to the Ecole du Droit,
and in the examination surpassed the 800
male candidates. This magnificent
showing swept away the opposition OF
several mem GERS 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, Mile. Bilcesco
was absent lEt 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 slight,
trim figure. She has a 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

After worrying the diplomats very
much he changed his mind and consent
ed to take the money and agree never to
try to be king When Hanover was an
nexed to Prussia, in 1866, King George
was bulldozed into accepting settle
ment, but when Bismarck unfolded his
entire policy King George refused the
settlement. Then Prussia, that is to say
Bismarck, took all his property and rev.
enues and fought him with the income.
The imperial landtag refused to sanction
this robbery and something had to be
done.
The income has been devoted to subsi-
dizing journals and public men to create
an opinion. Finally the present En-
peror William consented to revoke the
sequestration, and the Duke of Cumber-
land now agrees to accept the &C, 000, 900
silver marks, present valuation of his
fathers claim, and surrenders all
claims TO the crown Of Hanover.
The origin of an English dukes right
to German throne is peculiar. James
Of England had daughter who mar
lieu 81 oSiuidu pi1iSc, anu hcI dAuS5H lSI,
Sophia, married the elector Of Hanover
so when Queen Anne died childless,
Aug. l, 1114, and there were no heirs in
the English branch, the right to the
crown belonged to the oldest son of that
Sophia, and so he became George l of
England. This made an awkward union
between the electorate and the kingdom,
and involved England in various wars.
The crown of Hanover, however, was
limited to the male line; SO when Vic
toria became queen her uncle Ernest
Augustus became king of Hanover, the
English people rejoicing greatly at the
separation and even more at the absence
of the hated Ernest, though he and his
heirs remained dukes of Cumberland in
England. The son of Ernest Augustus
was blind George, and with him ended
the Hanoverian kingdom.

a hand at '.lawyering" herself. She
stated her case very clearly and it is not
believed that her action has injured her
chances any. Mrs. Wilkins is sixty
years of age and is reputed to be very
wealthy, although those best informed
think that she is worth only about $40,-
600. Most of her money she has made
by lending at enormous rates of interest.
Mrs. Wilkins is not in the most distant
sense conventional. She used TO have a
habit of walking along the street smok-
ing pipe, while her husband. who was
afterward killed on the railroad. fol-
lowed meekly behind with their adopted
child-they never had children of their
own. She lives in two room house,
built by her husband in 1854. with three
farm boys and two nieces as companions.

A Long Ferry Ind eed.

a sixty mile ferry is a novelty of
rather doubtful success, but the Toledo
Ann Arbor and Northern Michigan rail
road proposes to have one across Lake
Michigan from kewaunee TO Frankfort
The Ferry steamer now in course of con-
struction will cost $250.000 and it is
expected to carry forty freight cars and
make the sixty mile crossing in five
hours. This viii save from six dollars
TO twelve dollars on each car, the shift
ing OF freights costing that much more
than ferrying the cars, and there will
be much less liability to breakage.
Should it prove successful, Milwaukee
will also have ferry, and big results
are expected.

filed with disnay at the prospect of
having woman among them on 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, strictlya 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 1873 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 ef-
fort to get into the law department Of
the University Of Pennsylvania, 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 sha was admitted but her

ragansett bay, and is in splendid health
and well preserved despite his wounds
and harGships during and before the
civil war.
He was born in Warwick, R. l., and
reached manhood when the contest In
Kansas was at its hottest. Being a
e.fanatical abolitionist," as the phrase
then was, and being also a dead shot
with Sharps rifle, he Joined the
Browns in Kansas and was trusted
and active man in all their fights and
raids. His account is as thrilling as any
romance. He declares that Browns first
organization, with headquarters at AL
bia, Ia, was betrayed by an Englishrnan
named Floyd, who had been employed as
drillmaster, and SO the raid was delayed
for year.
When nearly ready, in 1859, Brown
suspected that he was again betrayed,
and moved hastily with the twenty men
he had at his Maryland farm instead of
waiting for the other detachments.
Strange as it may seem to cool observers,
Colonel Howard still thinks the move
ment might have been a success If the
other detachments had come up.
In the final catastrophe he was with
Kagi and others in that F'dugout" on
the river front, and was the only one
who escaped. He Travelled by night
walks to Harrisburg, and thence in dis
guise to ST. Louis, before he dared to
read a paper or ask about the outcome
of the raid. When the civil war began
ne enlisted in the Ninth Rhode Island,
but soon became an independent scout
and SOY, was twice IN Richmond as spy
and had many narrow escapes. He is
still fervent admirer of John Brown
and proud of his share in the raid.

''Listen to Sarah; she knows" was
the admiring comment to which Michael
Wilkins was wont to give vent when
ever his wife, Sarah, was ''argifying"

Wilkins is not a lawyer, but she is new

who ever made an argument before the

Besides all this she is known as one of
the shrewdest business women in the
state of Kansas, where she owns several
farms.
Mrs. Wilkins has always been par

her husband from several suitors because
she thought he would obey better than

ABOUT TWO DUKES.
ONE is PROMOTED AND THE OTHER
GETS UP AN UNDERSTANDINGS.

Hanover Is Now Part of Prussia and
the Duke of Cumberland Valves His
Claims After Protest-The Scotch
Duke OF Argyle's Advancement.
The duke business, as Artemus Ward
would say, has been badly overdone for
some years, which was but a natural re-
suit Of the rapid changes IN the social
structure. Dukes and lords ceased to
have the old feudal privileges and to be
the natural leaders and hereditary mag
istrates of their little domains before they
had learned how to be industrial enter
prisers, scholars, inventors and other
wise leaders in the modern system. But
they have made the turn successfully,
and many of them are now eminent IN
art, science, literature and manufac-
lures.
And it is this which made the recent
performance Of the Duke of Cumber-
land so startling. He first declared that
he was still king of Hanover and would
not accept the Guelph fund, so called,
in lieu of his royal rights, because he
was satisfied that Emperor William
would soon run the whole Germanic
system to the demnition bowwows, as
they say at Harvard. and that when the
breakup came Hanover would again be
a kingdom and he, Ernest Augustus
William Adolphus George Frederick,
would be king thereof as his father was.
