A pLuckY WOMAN LAWYER.
AIre. Foltz Leaves the Pacific Coast an
Goes to New York to Practice

MrN. Foltz Leaves the Pacific Coast and
Goes to New York to Practice.
Mrs. Clara Foltz, who was the pioneer
among. the lawyers of her sev on the
Pacific coast, has established an office
in New York city, and has sent out q
card announcing her intention of es-
tablishing practice.
"Mrs. Foltz believes" says the card,
shat in so great a city, with it's varied
interests and liberal thought, there is
room, demand and necessity for wom-
an lawyer in the regular practice. She,
therefore, hopes to receive a cordial
welcome and a generous patronage"
She announces her purpose, besides
conducting general law business, "of
adjusting differences without resort
to the COURTS
Mrs. Foltz is one of the est-known
women lawyers in the county. The
California code u years ago would I'D
nit only men to practice. Mrs. Foltz
led the attack ON this discrimination,
and drew up the amendment removing
it, which has since stood. Immediately
following this triumph in the legisla-
ture, she brought suit against the trus-
tees of the Hastings college, to compel
them to allow her to study law there,
and was victorious before the courts.
The furnishings of Mrs. Foltz' office
are such as might be seen in the office
of busy lawyer. No feminine touch
appears except in the roses on her desk,
and the blotter pad, presented by the
Portia club, of San Francisco, of which
she is permanent dean.

GENIUS TRIUMPHs.
Edison Perfects His Great Ore
Separating Process.
No Human Intervention Required During
the Entire Process from Start to Finish
Immense Plant at Edison, N. j.,
Ready to Start Up.

Thomas A. Edison has just brought
to practical conclusion his great ore
separating process, at the mine ut
Edison, near Ogden, N. j., on which he
has been ut work for many years. After
overcoming obstacles that would have
conquered any less persistent expert
menter, the process has at last been
finished and the great plant is in rum
ming order.
| The scheme is an interesting one in
that there is no human intervention
during the entire process from start
to finish. When the cars of ore and
rock are dumped in large masses into
the massive crushers that form the first
step in the process, the rest of the
process is entirely automatic, the
crushed rock and ore being carried
automatically from one set of crush
ers to another by means of endless
belts and bucket elevators, til! the ma
terial is reduced to the requisite fine
ness, and then another series of belts
and elevators carry it to the separating
house, where the material falls in a
fine stream across field of large cleo
tro-magnets, which divert the'ir from
the direct line of fall and drop it in one
receptacle, while the refuse and rock
fall into another.
| This process is repeated number Of
times, till at last tho resultant product
is pure magnetic oxide of iron.
Automatic carriers take the iron
ore thence to thu bricking plant, where,
by ingenious mechanism, over which
the great inventor has spent thousands
of dollars in experimentation. the ore
is mixed with building material and
pressed into small bricks for conven-
fence in handling. These are then
baked and are ready for the market.
The sole remaining work Of construc-
ton yet to be done is the building and
rotary furnaces, which shall bake the
bricks as they Ere delivered and turn
them out automatically. There are no
mechanical or scientific difficulties
connected with this part of the proc
ess, and these furnaces are to be built
as soon as the frost is out of the ground
| in the spring.

BELIEVES I'M NANsEN.
Explorers Secretary Confident the Pole
Has Been Discovered.

Christiania, Feb. 1s.-Dr. Nansen's
secretary, Christensen, replying to
the remarks of DR.. Otto Nordenskiold
on the prospects of DIR. Nansen having
reached the north pole, in which the
latter expressed the opinion it was
hardly likely that the Norwegian ex.
plorer had been carried with the drift
as far as rs degrees north latitude and
had afterward reached the pole with
sledges, says that in his opinion it is
quite possible that DR.. Nansen reached
IS degrees north latitude with the
Fran, and that he then succeeded in
reaching the pole OH sledges, Christie
fersen claims that the condition of the
ice in 1893 was favorable for such an
undertaking, and points to the rapid
sdvance of the Lockwood Payer expedi-
tion

erly Influenced by pecuniary con-


sideration or otherwise by the sena-
tor from Ohio. In short, your con-
duct would be infamous. 1t is true
that the senator from Ohio might
threaten to ruin my credit if you did
not pay my debt in wheat as he de-
manded, but you would promptly an
swer him that neither he nor anyone
else could ruin my credit Us long as l
was able to pay my debts according
to contract and still have corn left in
abundance in my barns.
You would furthermore tell him
promptly that the surest way of ruin
ing my credit would be by mortgage
ing my farm to buy wheat at 100
per cent advance in price and there
by discriminating against corn, the
property which l had. and causing it
to fall in price. The difference would
be man out of debt with plenty of
means for support, or deeply in debt,
paying twice rs much as the value re-
ceived, and with the property that
he had left deprecated in value on
account of the discrimination.
In case l pursued slch a shortsight-
ed and foolish policy would find my
self at the end of next year, when the
mortgage became due, forced to give
another mortgage to buy more wheat
at n still further advanced price to
pay the debt. Thus, year after year,
though my field teemed with corn in
abundance, l would be forced to
plaster fresh mortgages upon mort
cages on my farm until the mort
cages amounted to more than the
value thereof. Where would my
credit be then?
Now. this is exactly what our gov
eminent is doing today. We are is
suing bonds--putting mortgage up
on this country to buy gold to pa; a
debt when we have the option of
paying that debt in silver. This pol
icy was inaugurated by the republi-
can party, but in defiance of law.
The democratic party denounced
this policy and denounced it justly,
and promised the people to put q
stop to it. The democrats came into
power, but have adopted the repub!i-
can policy, which leads to bank
ruptcy and ruin. Both old parties
have betrayed their trusts to the
American people. They stand today
hand in hand, morga cling the prop
erty and liberty Of this country away
to foreign gamblers and spectators.
You call Benedict Arnold o traitor.
He surrendered but one army post to
Great Britain. What will you say Of
those who are trying to surrender
the whole American continent to
Great Britain?"
Neither Mr.. Hill nor anyone else
has as yet attempted to answer, and
We do not believe any attempt will
ever be made.
Read, ponder and reflect, and then
make mp your mind whether the SER
wants of the people who have charge
of affairs at the nations capitol are
not the HIRED MEN of the money
power. Whether they are not, in
violation Of their official oaths aud in
open defiance of the law, giving aid
and comfort to the enemy.

GREW WOOD FOR HIS COFFIN.
Eccentric Oran Fathing, of Indiana, Ex-
pectg to Die Soon


Oran Fathing is a wealthy and highly
respected citizen of bartholomew coun-
ty, Ind, but regarded as very eccentric.
Over 40 years ago he planted walnut
tree in front of his house and said ut
the time that he would have his coffin
made out of it. He also said that when
1t ceasedato bear nuts he would know
that he was destined to live but short
time. The tree has not borne for two
years, and recently he caused it to be
cut down and sawed into lumber, and
from this he proposes to have his coffin
made. He is in his 18th year and appar-
emily hale and hearty, but he contends
that the end is near and that he must
complete the preparations for his de-
parture. The lumber is being seasoned
for the purpose Cesipned

successfully, We must use a food
