Elected Delegate ana President py
Epworth Lcagucrs.
An union meeting Of the Epworth
leagues of Scranton and vicinity was
held at the Elm Park church last even
ing, when upwards Of 800 delegates
were present from the following Meth
odist churches: ELM Park. Asbury,
Providence. Simpson, Park Place.
Hampton Street, Cedar Avenue, Dun

Chattanooga, Tenn. The following
were the nominees: Miss Rooney, Of
Asbury church; NJ. E. Worden, Of the
Simpson church; A. C. Myers, of the
Cedar Avenue church, and Henry
Kemmerling, Of Providence church.
The first ballot resulted as follows:
Kemmerling, 1S1; Miss Rooney. "a;
Worden, Sc, and Myers, 50.
In order to obviate a second ballot,
Captain May suggested that the cleo
ton be made unanimous, and said that
an arrangement had been made where
by Miss Rooney would withdraw from
the election and she would act as Sec
ond delegate and her expenses paid.
Miss Rooney's friends, however, object
ed to this course, and claimed second
ballot. Mr.. Myers withdrew, and the
final result was announced, amid great
cheering, as follows: Kemmerling, 143;
Rooney, 103, and Worden, 80.
During the evening Mr.. Kemmerllng
was also elected president Of the union.
Several excellent selections were rem
dered by the Elm Park Male quartette.
At the conclusion of the business
meeting the delegates adjourned to the
banquet room, where they were enter
tanned by the home league. In the So
cial which followed, considerable
amusement was caused by the distribu-
tion Of cards to the gentlemen, and
duplicate cards to the ladies. A ques-
tion was written upon each card and
the ladies were requested to search for
the gentleman holding the duplicate Of
their card and obtain from him an an
swer to the question.

house in Capitol Hill, and the visitor finds
Mrs. Richards pleasant lady, as we'll as
an able physician. Mr.. Richards was q
member of Congress from Ohio, but was
defeated at the last election, and is still
in town. Mrs Richards has been doctor
now for fifteen years, having studied in
Cleveland and New York, and first prac-
ticed in New Philadelphia, Ohio. She
has been in town only a few years, but is
now getting a good deal of work, her prin-
cipal patients being ladies, in whose dis
eases she takes an especial interest.
Mrs Richards is pleasant lady with
attractive manners, and dresses neatly in
dark colors She says that the prejudice
against lady physicians is rapidly disap-
pearing and that in the future, women will
have an equal chance with the men in that
business. Mrs. Richards also remarked
that she did not see why lady could not
be a surgeon, that while she sympathized
with pain. that did not unnerve her for
the opera ton which would relieve the suf-
feriug, but, on the contrary, made her more
careful to prevent pain. There are many
other women physicians at the capital
and most of them have as much work as
they can do.

EVEN IN REAL ESTATE.
Miss Grace NJ. Thompson is perhaps the
only licensed real estate dealers among
the ladies and she is the bestknown in the
city Her office is up in the Corcoran
building where she spends the morning and
in the afternoon she is out at her home in
Brookland.
She is a lady who is much beloved by all
her friends and especially by the children
of the place. She is from Ohio and some
years ago came on here TO get position
in the departments. While waiting she
stopped with her sister in Brookland aud
thought she would invest a small sum in the
lots around She did so and iu few months
sold at a big profit.
Encouraged by this attempt, she aband-
oned all idea of getting department work
and devoted herself TO real estate, the buying
aud selling of lots in Broohand being her
speciality. She drives fine pair of norses,
and is q prosperous woman in spite of the
universal complaint about the hard times
that comes from the other dealers.

Miss Emma Gillett, who is a graduate of
Howard University, is another real estate
lawyer, and does an excellent business.
Mrs. Georgia Kicker is, perhaps, one of
the most philauthropie women in town, and
is a lawyer who practices her profession
only in the cause OF charity. She is rich
and often defends cases which have enlisted
her sympathies in order to help the poor
who are not apt to get fair treatment at
the hands of lawyers who are not so con-
scientious. Out Of the eight ladies who have
been admitted to practice at the bar intown,
only two or three remained in the city.

STUDIED WITH HER HUSBAND.
Mrs. Mussey is an Ohioan and first came to
Washington as the principal OF the Spencer
College of which her brother was the head.
Her father W as the originator OF the Spen-
cerian style of penmanship now regarded

country. In short while she married Gen.
r. ID. Mussey, who was q lawyer and for
sixteen years she helped her husband in his
office work constantly.
Three years ago Gen. Mussey died, and his
wife, who had studied law under him and
become familiar with all routine business,
was then admitted to the bar She has now
most lucrative practice, especially among
the ladies. Mrs. MUSSey, who is an authority
on the legal status of women, says that the
laws in regards TO women'S rights to their
property and children in the District will
soon be changed, as a movement looking to
that end is on foot among the business men.
A woman stock broker is a rarity at the
