the fnality of truth itself. And
yet, when woman has at last ar
rived at the distinction of doing
grand jury service in Wyoming
court, she has not acquitted her
self at all badly. Chief Justice
Howe, of that state, has written
letter in which he manfully
acknowledges that woman jurors
have proved a surprise to him.
First, stating that he had no part
in helping the women of his
state to gain suffrage rights, and
that he objected to the notoriety
brought upon him by reason of
having to hold court with femi-
nine jurors in the box for the
first time in America, the Judge
says
"'With all my prejudices
against the policy, am under
conscientious obligation to say
that these women acquitted them
selves with such dignity, deco
rum, propriety of conduct and
intelligence as to win the admir-
alton of every fair-minded citizen
of Wyoming. They are careful,
painstaking, intelligent and con-
scientious. They were firm and
resolute for the right, as estab-
lished by the law and the testi-
mony. Their verdicts were right,
and, after three or four criminal
trials, the lawyers engaged in
defending persons accused of
crime began to avail themselves
of the right of peremptory chal-
lenge to get rid of the female
jurors, who were too much in
favor of enforcing the laws and
Furnishing crime to suit the inter
ests of their clients. After the
grand jury had been in session
two days, the dance-house-keep-
ers, gamblers and demi-monde
fled out of the city in dismay to
escape the indictment of women
grand jurors. In fact, l have
never, in my twenty-five years of
constant experience in the courts
of the country, seen more faith
full, intelligent and absolutely
honest grand and petit jurors
than these
Such words as these from such
a source will doubtless have their
effect in renewing the courage OF
the women who are battling for
their sex's right to enjoy full cit
izenship in every state in the
Union, and in causing some of
the wiseacres who have been
freely asserting that woman was
incapable of intelligent jury du-
ty to at least seek precedental
support for their allegations.
Woman is an unknown quantity
in the social equation, and it re-
mains to be seen to what extent
she may develop. But until she
has failed in any set task, it is
unfair to judge her incapable of
it, and up to date, about all she
has shown her utter incapacity

men and women, to exercise the

good of our common country.

WOMAN AS A JUROR.

"Ever since woman began to
claim equal rights with man in
the government of her country
and the administration of its
laws, men have been found as
serting, without taking the
trouble to collect supporting evil
dence, that whatever else the fair
sex might succeed at, it would
fail dismally when confronted
with the necessity of serving on
juries. Woman, they argued,
and still argue, is too active in
her sy1npathies to render unbias-
ed judgment according to law
she is too prone to decide ques-
ton according to her own code
of ethics, and not capable of de-
ducing logical conclusions by
processes of calm and dispassion-
ate reasoning. For another
thing, they have argued, she is
an extremist-she can see no
middle ground-her penalties
would invariably be the limit of
the law; she would either hang
or acquit absolutely.

lawyers who have voiced their
opinions with all the absolutism

"But," says one, "citizenship
entails heavy responsibility on
woman" Not any more than
she is perfectly able to meet. If
she is elected to Office, her quail
fcation for the position will al
ways be equal to the. demand.
This has been demonstrated in
municipal suffrage in Kansas.
When called on to hold office,
even the mayoress of city, she
has been found equal to the
emergency, and in many in
stances, has put her brothers to
shame in comparison of ability
shown in the administration of
affairs.
But, one stumbling-block in
the way of woman suffrage was
this: Women would be COM
PEELED to serve as jurors, the same
as as men. Right here l have a

AN OUTSIDE VIEW.

Mr.. G. W. Sdton:-I send you a
Philadelphia Times, with a short re.
port of the officers OF the Ohio River
and Charleston Railroad, in which, as
you will see, they are well pleased
with the property, but appear to think
that they will not make any exten-
sious until the country along the
proposed route is more fully developed.
This, in my judgment, is rather a sim
gular statement to make for railroad
men to execute, for it has been the
general experience OF all business men
who have been identified with rail-
road enterprises that these were always
instrumental in developing an unde-
veloped country, and as l am ac-
quainted with a large portion of the
projected route Of the said road, !

wi see in it an investment that they

as it will pass through one Of the best
and most productive coal and coking
fields that is to be found; they will
have access to fine beds of camel,

Kirm eSs, Kirmess.

Last Sundays Knoxville Tribune
had the following in its society col
umns regarding the preparation being
made for the presentation Of the Kir
mess in that city on the End, 3rd, 4th
and 9th of January:
Kirmess, Kirmessl You hear it
spoken Of everywhere, and during this
week the photographs of the perform.
ers in their costumes will lie displayed
in the usual places. The Kirmess is
the talk Of the town. You hear it at
home, on the street, when you go Wis
iting, and have even heard of it at
church, Some people don't know
what a Kirmess is, and follow the old
fogy notion Of being opposed to it
just simply because they know moth
ing about it. Others are opposed to it
because it's dancing, and dancing is
something awful. Those who are op.
posed to it from either of these rea-
sons should go and be enlightened.
The last week of preparation and re
hearsing for the Kirmess will begin
tomorrow. 1t is encouraging and
gratifying to know that Director Mac
Donnell feels that the dances will all
be ready for presentation at Staub's
on the dates decided upon by the
members OF the executive committee,
January End, 3rd and 4th and a mat
inee on Saturday evening, Jan. 5th.
Rehearsals were held during every
day and evening Of last week and
much progress has been made. The
costumes will be here this week.
The program presents to the eye a
feast of Kaleidoscope beauty and bril-
liancy. Young gentlemen and young
ladies, little boys and little girls, and
several married ladies, total of one
hundred and fifty. eight, will take part
in the grand International march, af.
