Woman as q LAWYER.

The death of Jennie Laird, in San
Francisco, few days ago, demon
strates the ability of the gentler sex to
fill eminently well place in that ex-
acting profession, the law. Miss
Laird began the study OF law about
nine years ago. She was a person of
rare promise and won the esteem of
all with whom she came in contact.
She possessed, in addition to an ana
lytic mind disposition for promoting
peace and good will, and in this I'M
lawyerlike qualification probably ex-
listed the main cause OF success. She
would never accept a fee from any
body who wanted to force vindictive
suit. A Philadelphia by birth, she
hailed from the city that has become
proverbial for brilliant lawyers. Her
examination for admission to the bar
was conducted by Charles Ben Darwin,
known to old-timers as one of our
brightest District Judges under Terri
torial regime, many years ago. Miss
Laird was publicly complimented by
several of the courts for the faithful
and able manner in which she had dis
charged her duties as barrister.

onstration that woman's sphere is not
circumscribed by the environments of
custom which have only antique
methods to sustain them.

One scene was from Trilby," and
the part of Svengali was assumed by
I. S. Howard, Vice President of a
prominent New York bank, and that
OF Trilby by his daughter, Jennie
Louise. DR.. Howard is a man of
strong intellectual force, and threw
his whole mind into the part, with a
result that he nor anybody else con-
templated. He actually did hyno-
tie Miss Howard, and when she had
sung her part and LEFT the stage it was
noticed that her eyes were set and her
features singularly contracted. She
was carried to her home, and her fam
lily, much alarmed, called in an emf
nent doctor who finally succeeded in
restoring her TO a normal condition.
1t was then ascertained that DIR. How.
ard, who practiced medicine some
years ago, had been at that time able
to influence his patients by effort of
the will, but he never suspected his
hypnotic powers until they were so

THAT young girls should carry
flowers to q man charged with the
cold-blooded murder of two victims OF
their age and sex, is one of the
anomalies of human nature tina pass
eth understanding. Until the man
Durrant is shown to be unquestionably
innocent OF the charge against him,
he should be avoided as a viper by the
good and pure. Any attempt to make
a hero of him, until he is free from
the overshadowing suspicion that cir
cumstances surely justify, is to offer a
premium upon crime-and a crime
which, of all others, embraces that
which the innocent and virtuous
should abhor. Away with such
maudlin sentimentalityl 1t robs its
possessor Of all the finer attributes of
womanhood.

VISIT OF DISTINGUISHED GUESTS
Vice President Adlai E. Stevenson,
came to the Pacific coast, over the
Canadian Pacific railway, a few days
ago, and embarked at Victoria for
Alaska, Sunday, by the Queen. Mr..
Stevenson's party is composed of Mrs.
Stevenson, Misses Julia and Letitia
Stevenson, daughters, and William and
John Stevenson, brothers of the Vice
President. The trip to the coast and
Alaska is made, primarily, for the ben
eft of Miss Julia's health, who has
been ailing for some time. The fam.
lily are in mourning for a daughter,
who died some months ago in the
South, and they avoid as much pub
licity as possible. They came in Presi-
dent w. G. Van Horns private car,
and will return by the same route.
They will probably visit the principal
cities ON the Sound before their return,
on or about the 22d inst.

The Silver Convention.

y conference of delegates sent by
twenty-five states, in compliance with
suggestion OF the Senatorial commit
tee, to agree upon some line of policy
10y the party regarding silver, was held
IN Washington "Wednesday. The at
tendance was larger than had been
anticipated toy the most sanguinc pro.
motors OF the object. Senator Jones
was chosen for temporary chairman.
Delegates reported from the several
states As follows: Virginia IL, Hi
nois If, Missouri II, Alabama 4,

ware l, Maryland 3, Kentucky l.,
Mississippi l, North Dakota |, West

y committee consisting of a repre-
sentative from each State was an.
t'''NNN VA l'iVSl anu ItSOGullOIS,
and after several brief speeches the
convention adjourned to 10 o'clock
Thursday. 1t is thought that the
more important work of the conven-
ton will be done by the committee.
1t is foreshadowed that the report will
recommend the issue OF an address to
the party of the country urging the
maintenance of the silver cause, and
plan of organization to promote that
interest and for selection of delegates
favorable to it to the next national
convention. The plan will probably
embrace the appointment OF a central
committee, with a member from each
State and Territory, which shall in
turn select member from every coun-
ty, the latter to have the power to ap-
point member from every voting
precinct in his county. The plan in
cludes provision for a national head

WATTERSON ON CLEVELAND.
He Speaks POimtedly Regarding
Third Term.

khe speaks fOihteuiy Regarding n
Third Term.
A Cincinnati dispatch of the 9th
inst is as follows:
"If Grover Cleveland is nominated
for a third term he will not carry a
single Congressional district in the
United States"
This remark was made by Henry
Watterson at the st. Nicholas Hotel
this evening to reporter. Colonel
Watterson had just finished his din
ner and was surrounded by his family.
"And furthermore" continued Mr..
Watterson, on the same subject, al
do not believe it possible to nominate
Cleveland. George Washington set
the example, and there is no more in.
flexible law on the statute books than
the unwritten one forbidding Il third
term.
"Grant had such a great leader as
Conkling to fight for him, and BOG
members of that convention were as
brave as the soldiers who held Their.
mopyl@, but Grant could not be nomi-
mated, even though he had been out of
the Presidential chair for four years"
"Some one has said recently Mr..
Watterson, that in the course of time
the acts OF Mr.. Cleveland and his adj
ministration of affairs will result in
his being regarded as one of the great
est statesmen this country has pro.
duced."
Whoever said that was a fool or a
craven tool" was the prompt reply.
