A Woman Lawyer on Women In a Jury.


I Mrs. Theodore Sutro, the valedictorian
for the FIRST grade graduating class Of

in commenting on The Recorders special

Mrs. Lucy Stone, said,
81 do not know much about this one
particular case, for am not interested
In criminal cases at all beyond seeing by
the headlines in the papers what is going
on In that line. But really l do not
think women jurors would be just the
thing. The selection must be made of
women with very strong characters,
great confidence in themselves and able
to detach themselves from their sur
roundings in greater OF less degree, and
that cannot always be done. 1t must be
q wonderful woman who could stand out
against II men,"
Don't you think it a good plan to
have women jurors on cases when the
prisoner is woman?"
mo, l do not. Women are nearly al
ways a woman's most severe critic, and
she would fare very much better at the
hands Of IL 1aen jurors than from the
other sex. The only time really think
a woman would be Of any great use on
the jury would be in a case of insanity
There think her knowledge Of her own
sex and instincts would be invaluable.
She would be able to tell in nine cases
out of ten whether the woman were in
sane OF not, whether she were shamming
to escape punishment for crime com
mitted or whether it was really case Of
temporary insanity. New York Re-

what to Do with Earrings.

Women with earrings are beginning
to collect very beautiful hatpins. Long
pins of silver or gold are made to order,
and the solitaire pearl, diamond or sap
phire is attached. Sometimes two of
these jeweled pins are worn in bit of
bonnet Earrings and brooches may
go out of fashion, but the woman of the
world can be trusted to make them the
style. That is characteristic of her class.

A woman's System For Women &c


Mrs. Ellen G. Johnson, superintendent
of the Sherborn prison for women, is in
Chicago to place peculiar exhibit and
see that it is arranged to the best advan-
tage. In Sherborn for some time there
has existed successfully method of
marking or grading the inmates. When
they show evidences Of desire to re-
form, some improvement is made in
their dress and environment. In this
way, so to speak, they are educated back
to life. In her exhibit Mrs. johnson has
materially expressed this grading system
as well as the industrial.
A number of dolls are dressed in the
costumes worn by the women in the va
rious grades of the prison. Thus, doll
in the costume of her grade is represent
ed as working at silk weaving. Another
in the costume of her grade has her hat
on and pail in her hand, apparently in
the act of going out to the dairy. An
other is bending over miniature tub.
Others again are represented as ironing,
baking, sewing, etc. The idea is orig
inal with Mrs. johnson. Globe
