ed by Court of Appeals.
The Court of Appeals this afternoon
finally disposed of the long-pending case OF
Edwin N. Gray against the District when
it affirmed the Judgment of the lower court,
awarding Mr.. Gray $4,000 damages. The

foundry was seriously damaged by an over
flow from the Tiber creek sewer. He there
upon sued the District, claiming that the
overflow was due to the defective construc-
ton of the sewer and to its choked-up
condition at the time of the overflow. The
was due alone to the act of God, contend
ing that the sewer overlooked alone be-

The Twentieth Century Woman.

Lady Henry Somerset predicts shining

whether it awaits fulfllmcnt or not. She
thinks they will win their highest laurcls

nany of the great statesmen and diplo-
matists of the future will be women. BY
heir exclusion from these functions hith-
Prto it is her opinion that the world has
POST great deal and that public affairs
would have gone on much better If she had
{taken hand in them. 1t may be true. A
good many statesmen are sad dolts no
doubt, and have always been so. They
need, and always will, "a reinforcement of
wisdom, and perhaps they are TO receive it
from women, as Adam received that en-
|dowmcnt from Eve accompanying Il well
known and momcntous apple. But moth

even when it is Illuminated with the beam
+ of SYPHILIS vision like that which Lady
Henry casts upon it.
Tho best thing to be hoped for ii that as
the years advance woman will have in
creased opportunities OF doing all the good
work that il lies in her to do, unfettercd
by any social or conventional restraints,
and this freedom is broadening around her
day by day She is not really fenced out
of any field of effort proper to her. She is
already free to sit and speak and vote in
some legislatures and sometimes does so,
but so far has hardly Justified Lady Henry :
high expectations of her.
Time may expand her capabilities, but
1t probably won't, and she is likely to dc
IN the twentieth century much as she did
in the nineteenth-that is, rear the gcner-
ations and nurture and instruct them.
That is the main work appointed to her by
time and dcstiny-a highly attractive one
to most Of her sex, which they are not like

the latter should and will have free field
