BELH AT THE BAR.
How She Wds Admitted to Practice in Vr-
ginid.


RICHMOND, VA.-Of course you've
heard of the admittance of Mrs. Belva
Lockwood to the Bar of the Supreme
Court of this State, but in the hope
that you have forgotten it l will treat
it as news and tell you about it.
1t seems that in March of this year
Mrs. Lockwood went to Augusta
County aud was qualified to practice
at that Bar, being the first woman ever
admitted to that privilege since the
settlement of Virginia. The sensation
the Judges action created shook the
foundations of the legal profession. 1t
was about the time of tho revival of
the suffrage question in New York, and
in some quarters was taken rs sag
gestivc Of the general feeling of the
Virginia Bar, but the fact is there
were good people who, when the news
came, acted rs their ancestors did when
they heard Jefferson was elected Presi-
dent; they hid their Bibles in foot
stools and other unlikely places and
looked for the coming of the Anti
Christ. Unluckily for Mrs. Lockwood
however, the jurisdiction OF n County
Court is very limited, and admission
to the Augusta County Bar did not
mean admission To any other Bar IL
Virginia, so the lady determined t"
make her next trial in the Circuit
Court of the city of Richmond. The
Judge of this Circuit Court Is one al
the mos: courteous as well rs l"nrncc
jurists in this part of the country, but
his principles on the woman question
are probably those of medimvd
knight.
Mrs. Lockwood appeared with he
counsel and without her bonnet, claim
ing no privilege of sex, You see, bu'
simply and unostentatioUFly basin;
her plea on the Constitution of tie
United States and the statutes of Nir
giuia. They say it wasa very amusin;
scene. His honor was overilowin:
with respect for the person and Sc,
of the rlradcr, but though ns n knigh
of chivnlry he sighed, ns n Judge l."
the Circuit Court h denied, and til
more respectful his attitude to the lad.
the more hopeless the case for tn
would-he practitioner. When he
counsel undertook to explain the Con
stitution of his country, however, T.
the Judge, the game was up. iii
Honor knew the Constitution befor
he knew his letters; his grandfathe
helped frame it, and SO, with suavit.
Of manner which was doubtless bite
to hear, he delivered his opinion thH
it never intended woman to practic
law at this or any other Bar of on
great country.
| cannot think Of ANYTHING more, eX
aSpcratlng than to nave 10 stand II
Mrs. Lockwood stood and hear n pane
gyric on the beauty and lovcliuess, am
sweetness of fair women, when sh
was there for the purpose of ignorin!
sex altogether and asking to be con
sidered in the dictionary sense of MAJ
in distinction to the lower animals
When the Judge of this circuit IN,
bowed Mrs. Lockwood out of his juris
diction her indefatigahle counsel wen
over to Wythcvillr, where the Cour
of Appeals was holding its summc
session. This time he took with hin
another distinguished lawyer who ar
gued the case, and to the surprise o
the country won it.

According to Kate Field, Ex-Spcaker
Tom Reed is afraid only of his wife
and daughter when he is about to
speak n piece, and begs them to stay
at home, and they had to smugSlc
themselves into the crowd without his

said, sppcnlingly, "you know | can't
do anything if you two are up there
