A New York Woman skinner.

The incursion Of women into various
fields goes on apace, and the world has
now become accustomed to the idea of
feminine doctors, lawyers, dentists, golf
players and lecturers. The only new
thing that woman has done of late was
the application of the wife of a prominent
New Yorker a few days ago for MEM
bership in the New York Yacht club on
the grounds that she was skipper of her
own yacht, played the cook and cabin
boy, spliced the main brace without ask
ing permission from any human being
on board and paid her crew with her own
money. She had sailed the yacht from
New Rochelle to Buzzard's Bay, under
stood navigation, wore a yachting cap
on Broadway and claimed that she had
as good a right to be a member of the
yacht club as any other tar who had
been admitted. 1t is an evidence of the
extraordinary sway which woman has
obtained at this end of the century that
the application of this lady, who is in ev-
erything except sex entirely desirable,
threw the club into panic from which
it has not yet recovered.-C Chicago Post.

Women In tho Pulpit.

An unusual number of women have
been called upon to preach in the pulpits
of this city in the past few weeks since
the installation Of the Rev. Alice K.
Wright as joint pastor with her husband
in the Prospect Heights Universalist
church. Several weeks ago the Rev.
Anna II. Shaw filled the pulpit Of the
Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian church,
and last Sunday evening she preached in
the Central Presbyterian church. A
week ago Sunday, Rev. Phebe Hama
ford, the well known Universalist
preacher Of Connecticut, filled the pull
pit of the Church of the Good Tidings.
The pulpit Of the Brooklyn Tabernacle
which is to continue DR.. Talmage's-has
been recently occupied by the Rev. Mrs.
Baxter, q we'll known London evangelist
who was in this country several years
ago and preached for DR.. Talmage in

Women phr.leIaus a Success.

Every Now York state hospital now
has woman physician ON it's staff, and
strong testimony to their efficiency and
to the beneficial effects of the law has
lately been given by DR.. Charles F. Nc
Donald, president of the state lunacy
commission, in letter to the president
of the Buffalo union. He declares as
result of his observation that he would,
were he in charge of a state hospital, ia
vor the employment Of a woman physi-
clan even if the law no longer required
her services. He says, II believe that
the women physicians who have served
upon the staffs Of the various state hos
pitfalls since the law providing therefor
went into effect have, as rule, done
good service. and that the proportion of
inefficient ones has not been greater than
among the men physicians engaged in a

women employees in the state hospitals

He Broke the Law of the Land, but Would

1t would be interesting to know what
the enemies of the red man have to gay
about the case Of Nathaniel Jamison.
Nathaniel comes from down Lawton's
way, and Tuesday he was selling the
dark brown sassafras on the streets of
the city. Now Jamison is a thrifty red
man. Having disposed Of many goodly
bundles of sassafras, he went to dealer
in firewater and bought demijohn of
rare whisky. This he took with him to
the reservation at night, and to his red
brethren of the forest he disposed of it
at retail prices. So he made two profits
on his sassafras. The red man knew
that it was contrary to law for him to
sell whisky to his people, but in his own
heart he felt no sense Of guilt.
Day before yesterday he went to the
frewater man again, and while he was
buying of him United States marshal
arrested him and took him before the
commissioner. Contrary to Christian
custom, he pleaded guilty. The commits
sioner, knowing him to be a pagan and
believing him to be drunk, thought it
best not to enter that plea. But the In
dian cried out: ''I'm guilty. Any man
who pleads not guilty when he's guilty
is id liar" Of course there was no
answer to make to this, and the honest
Iniun had his way for once.-Buffalo

WOMAN'S WORLD.
THE SULTAN OF TURKEY GIVES WoM-
EN- PHYSICIANS A CHANCE.

Only One of Its Kind--SEiss Bayard's Court
Dress-Etiquette of the Wedding-Two
Practical Women--WSmen Physicians q
success-A New York Woman skipper.
The dominions of the Ottoman porte
offer q field for the women physicians.
The sultan of Turkey has just promul.
gated frman by virtue OF which wom-
en- can hereafter practice medicine in
Turkey upon presentation of their diplo
mas. Some persons may be surprised te
learn that this news has a political inn
portance of the first order. Undoubted
ly the issuing of the decree is due pri-
marily to the unwillingness of the Mus
sulmans to allow male physician to en-
ter their harems. This is permitted only
in cases of exceptional grsvfty-after old
women who are thmght to be magicians
or sorcerers have exhausted their efforts.
At the same time physicians are highly
respected and even venerated by the
Turks and generally by all orientals.
AS, however, it is only quite recently
that Turks have begun to study medi-
cine, nearly all the physicians-certainly
all those of much reputation-in Turkey
have been and are Christians of that
country Greeks, Armenians, Levant-
ines. as we'll as French, English and
Italians. 1t is easy to foresee that wom-
en- doctors from foreign countries will
have a brilliant future in Turkey and
will exercise an immense influence in
Turkish families. The sex Of these ply
sicians will afford them free access to
harems. AS Turkish women have very
little elementary education and live
very retired life, they are easily governed
by persons who are better educated than
themselves.
The woman physician in curing her pa
tients cannot fail to have great influence
over their ideas as to dress, mode of life,
usages and customs, their social and po-
litical notions. 1t is quite likely that in
the course of some years a slow but GER
tain transformation will be effected in
Turkish women, who will naturally wish
to initiate the life of their Christian sis
ters in Europe. For the practice of med
icine in Turkey there is not required a
national diploma, as in France. After
having finished his or her studies, no
matter where, the physician has only to
present his or her diploma and pass at
the Imperial School of Medicine short
examination. which is a mere formslity.

Miss Bayard's Court Dress.

The presentation dress of Miss Bayard,
who made her bow to the English queen
at the recent drawing room, was Of white
moire. The decollete corsage had q large
bow of cream lace and yellow velvet
fastened with diamond agraffe. She
wore, too, sash of cream lace also fas-
tened with diamonds. Her court train
fell from the shoulders and was Of rich
white satin, trimmed around with ruch-
ings of the same.
The chief feature Of these royal draw
ing rooms would seem to be the court
train. 1t must always measure full four
yards, and as the throne room is reached
this immense attachment is spread out
in all its amplitude, remaining thus dis
played as the first courtesy Is made to
the queen. A line of gentleman ushers,
who stand opposite the royal receiving
company, then take the train in charge,
passing it from hand to hand as its wear
er passes along, courtesying constantly as
she proceeds. When the end Of the line
is reached, the victim is allowed to hang
it over her arm, and thus encumbered
backs finally out Of the presence. It will
be seen that serious responsibility rests
upon both the gentleman ushers and the
debutante. For either to anticipate the
movements Of the other would produce
an awkward result. When it is consid-
cred that the presented women are sue
ceeding. each other with great rapidity
and that the crush about them is at all
times severe it will be gauged how diff.

tion of being the only one OF its kind has
just been established in Washington.
Eligibility to membership is ability to do
independent work of some sort-a defni-
tion which does not apply to women
merely holding clerkships.
The title of the organization is the
Business Woman's club, and its inaugu-
ration has been attended with a success
that has far outstripped the most san
guine expectations Of it's founders. 1t
was thought that 30 members could be
had, and that number would warrant the

membership. and this notwithstanding
its restrictions.
And how successful the commercial
woman Of Washington is may be gath
cred from the fact that of the present
membership there are eight or ten who
make every year out Of their own occu-
patton more than congressman's salary
and few twice as much.
The organization has a suit of rooms
down town at 606 Eleventh street, N.
W., tastefully fitted, much of the decora-
tions being done by the members, the
water colors and artistic photographs
being the work Of club artists. Here ii
is designed members may drop in for q
gossip and cup of tea between business
appointments.
