At Worcester, Mass, April 2, for the
frsS time in the history of the central
district court, two women appeared
among the applicants for naturalization
papers They were bright, intelligent,
womanly young women, sisters, Joanna
and Nellie Donahue After witnesses
had testified the applicants were duly
sworn by Clerk Thayer, forswsaring all
allegiance to her majesty Queen Vic
toria, ruler of the United Kingdom OF
Great Britain and Ireland. The women
took the oath with an air of being thor
oughly impressed with the responsible
ity of the step they were taking, and
then, with their witnesses, stepped up
to the desk OF Clerk Perry and affixed
their signatures to the necessary docu-
ments, after which they left the court
room secure in the consciousness that
they possessed all the rights at preNent
granted to women in Massachusetts,.
