that she never has entertained any in

Judge Wilson's defense of the right or
woman TO an equal place with man in
the professions was SO appreciated by
many of the Washington ladies that a
coterie of them sent to him 4 magnifi-
cent bunch of La France roses. which
adorned his parlor today. They were
accompanied by note stating that
they were intended as an expression of
appreciation for his championship of
the cause OF woman in the professions.
One OF the Signers was Mrs. Dan
Waugh, wife of the Indiana congress-
man; another was Miss Louise Lowell,
the stenographer who wrote Col. Breck-
inridge'S love letters while h3 was at
the capitol. and another was Miss Mary
Desha, sister of Col. Breckinridge's late
wife. Miss DeSha is prominent i'll the
organization OF the Daughters of the
Revolution, and was one of the ladies
who inspired the project of the Liberty
bell recently cast at Troy. The tribute
of Miss Desha to Miss Polard's lawyer
is significant of the feeling regarding
the relations of the late Mrs Breckin-
ridge towards the colonel.

When the militia arrived at Rushsyl-

Sheriff Sullivan, who was in command
OF the soldiers, was informed that there
were six dynamite cartridges under the

them because they all wished her to

The Washington women have been

hydrants. The city mains had been
shut off at the reservoir Saturday. Pri-

and this helped to madden the flames,
which by this time had fastened hold OF
George Staffier's building, and was
slowly eating its way towards Pacific
avenue. The building burned with
great rapidity, and flames from the
building of Cooper street threw showers
of sparks on the dome of the city court
house, which soon ignlted. and it burned
to the ground, nothing being left but
the four walls to mark the place where
the structure stood. Chinatown's fifty
frame shanties caught and burned like
tinder. The Cinnamon saved some of
their effects, but nearl Y all of their be-
longings were consumed. The mayor,

town would be destroyed, telegraphed
to San Jose for assistance. Although
