WOMEN LAWYERS
OF NEBRASKA.
ADDITIONS TO THE LIST.
&s&sSs&1-S-SA sa,yssus.,a.s-SSs .SsL

The list of women lawyers in Nebraska,
whose careers we're reviewed in The Sunday
Bee of March %, was procured from the
office Of the clerk of the state supreme
court. The list furnished was not, as was
supposed, a complete one, but simply a list
of those who had been admitted to practice
in the highest court of the state. There are
a few others, however, who have been ad-
mitted to practice in the district courts, and
two of them have been heard from, increas-
ing the number of women lawyers in the
state to twelve.
MISS MAUI MARSToN OF KEARNEY.
Miss Maud Marston is the junior member of
the firm of Marston & Marston. She was adj
mitted to the bar of Nebraska in May, 1893.
Immed. ately after her admission she went to
Chicago, and in September became private
secretary to Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, president
of the Woman's Republican Association of
the United States. Upon Mrs. Fosters re-
moval to Washington, Miss Marston went
into one Of the large law offices of Chicago,
where she became familiar with the methods
and practice OF conducting a city law bust
ness.
She remained in Chicago two years, but in
November, 1895, entered into partnership
with her father, Ira ID. Marston, who is well
known throughout the state.
Miss Marston's first case was in the dis
- W Soti uiu "a a iiuNNVi VI SDilc
thing over S., 900. She was successful in
this, as she was also in her next case, a
prosecution for larceny in the police court
for the Union Pacific Railway company.
Though desiring the work in the courts
for the purpose of familiarizing herself with
all matters connected with her chosen pro-
fession, she greatly prefers Office work, and
az she is an expert stenographer and a book
keeper, when she has had sufficient expe-
rience Miss Marston expects to confine her
self to counsel and office work exclusively.
She speaks with a glow of enthusiastic
feeling Of the uniform kindness, courtesy
and encouragement of the members of the
bar at which she is a practitioner, and says
they all spoil her, they are so anxious to
have her succeed, and she feels perfectly at
home among them.
Miss Marston Is already well known over
the state from her newspaper work, and es-
pecialiy distinguished herself in that line
when she intercepted Miss Nellie BLY, on her
trip around the world and rode 600 miles
with her on the Santa Fe special, obtain
ing an account of her trip which was pub
lished in a western paper simultaneously
with Miss Bly's own article in the New
York World.

MISS ALcoTTs PHILOSOPHY.

Letters written at intervals during the last
few years OF Louisa M. Alcott's life to five
little girl friends" edited by Edward w.
Box, are printed, for the first time, in April
Ladies' Home Journal. The author of
Little Women" In these letters, chats with
delightful freedom about her work, her cares,
her early struggles and influences, end of her
religious faith. In writing to one of her
little girls" who had Just lost a sister-one
OF the five correspondents of earlier years
Miss Alcott says with characteristic charm
and loving candor:
:" | think you need not worry about
any name for your faith, but simply try to
be and do good, to love virtue In others, and
study the lives OF those who are truly
worthy of imitation. Women need a religion
OF their own. for they are called upon to
lead a quiet, self-sacrifcing life with pe-
culiar trials, needs and joys. and 1t seems to
me that a very simple one is fitted TO US
whose hearts are usually more alive than
heads. and whose. hands are tied in many
ways. Health OF body helps health of soul;
cheerful views OF all things keep up the
courage and brace the nerves. Work for the
mind must be had, or daily duty becomes
drudgery, and the power to, enjoy higher
things is lost. Change of scene is sometimes

NEW EASTER CARDS.
BenrdsIey Method Prominent Among
the DcniEns.

BenrdsIey Method Prominent Among
the Designs.
Only a glance at the shop windows is
necessary to convince one that there are
fads in art as well as in literature and the
drama, says the ST.. Louis Republic. Aubrey
Beardsley's peculiar style Of drawings for
posters and Illustrations has taken the pub
lie fancy to such a degree that the ,'decad-
ent school, has become a fOurlShing fad.
The Beardsley method has invaded the
realms of Easter art and illustrations. A
very striking feature of some Of the Easter
cards which have been sent out this year
is the decadent style Of drawing which they
display.
There is a hint of the medieval IN these
illustrations, or at least in those which are
opponents of the decadent style. They make
one think of dim cathedrals and incense
breathing affairs. While outlines are drawn
with holiness and show a certain 'clearness
of conception, get it may be said that the
conception itself is of the middle ages.
There Is a certain crudity which marks
the art and architecture Of the middle ages;
il was a marked falling off in conception
and production from classic art. The glori-
GUS renaissance q%uickened into abundant life
that spirit which has made modern civiliza-
ton and thought what they are and brought
higher and ever widening ideals. The de-
cadent school In art is a reaction against
the modern-a return, a plunge into the al
most barbaric middle ages.
However, such a style has the charm Of
novelty, and the jaded, notwithstanding
mind receives a certain pleasant stimulant
from the undoubtedly quaint effects of the
new-old style.
The Easter cards, books and booklets
which Prang ana other companies send out
this year are beautiful and artistic. 1t is
pleasant to note the thoroughly American
character of the publications. Most of the

Some question having been raised
as to the position Of the Herald on the
financial question We feel it to be our
duty to clearly and distinctly state
that we stand upon the platform
adopted at Minneapolis. June ]. 1892,
the financial plank of which was writ
ten by Senator Teller. Of Colorado,
and Senator Jones. Of Nevada.
1t is sufficiently clear to explain IL
self, aud is as follows:
The American people, from tradi-
tion and interest. favor bimetallism.
and the Republican party demands
the use of both gold and silver as
standard money, with such restric-
tons aud under such provisions. to be
determined by legislation. as will Sc
cure the maintenance OF the parity oil
values OF the two-inetals, so that the
purchasing and debt paying power OF
the dollar. whether Of silver. gold or
paper, shall be at all times equal.
The interests of the producers of the
country, its farmers and its work
ingmen, demand that every dollar,
paper or coin, issued by the Govern
ment shall be as good as any other.
We commend the wise and patriotic
steps already taken by our Govern
ment to secure an international con-
ference to adopt such measures as will
insure a parity of value between gold
and silver for use as money through
out the world

DIGNITATIS ACCESSIs.

Ihorns are undeveloped branches.
Cultivate a thorny plant and the
taorns disappear. Education is to
the mind what cultivation is to the
plant. 1t removes excrescences and
makes the being symmetrical. 1t also
eievates him morally. The time was
when prize-fghting was considered
manly. Now there are but three spots
on the globe where these bruisers can
pound each other. Public seuti-
ment has been educated ND to that
point where it will not look upon such
brutality with the least degree of al
iowance- Another marked change is
the disappearance of the jabberwhack-
ing, slangwhanging newspaper. But
very recently the ability of an editor
was gagged solely upon the amount
OF viliiication and vituperation which
he could weekly inject into his sheet
one OF the attainments was the volu-
able use OF nicknames, and to give
emphasis Italics were freely resorted

ton is to protect yourself.
How unhappy man must be when
he loses confidence in his fellow-man;
when he looks upon him with jeal-
Gus feeling and an evil eye, without
cause or provocation; when possibly
heis censuring his best friends. How
often has it happened that those whom
you had lost confidence in were the
first to befriend you when Cypress

With intense sorrow we learn OF the
death of Mrs. L. Rulings, wife OF Geo.
Rulings which occurred on Tuesday
morning at her residence on North
High street. Deceased was SO years
of age and leaves husband and sew
en- children to mourn the loss of one
whose place cannot be filled. At the
time of her death she was president of
Potomac Division, No. II, Ladies Aux
iliary, to Order of Railroad Conduc-
tors, of this city. Her kindness and
amiable disposition made hera favorite
among the members of the division
besides hosts of friends elsewhere.
How sad it is to part with such dear
friends, yet we hope to meet with
them again where parting is unknown
and happiness never ends. Earth

gilded sepulchres; its pleasures, they
are but bursting bubbles. Not So in

the approach of night. It's glory will
never wane, for there is the ever pres

cease, for exhaustless love supplies

A CRISIS IN THE SENATE.

Much interesthas been manifested
in the probable action of the Senate on
the report of the Finance committee
on the Dingley revenue bill. Senator
Morrill, made motion, Tuesday, to
take the bill up for consideration and
was defeated by vote of 20 ayes to
35 nays. All of the Democrats, all of
the Populists and five Western Repub-
leans voted against the motion.
While Republicans are not stuck
on the Dingley bill, many are of opin-
ion that it is the best that can be done;
that to put any more protection in it
would be to court a veto, and that it
would abolish the vacuum caused by
the Wilson-Gorma deficit producer.
The free-silver contingent of the Re-
publican party aided by the Demo
Gratis tackled free coinage amendment
to it and reported the bill as amended
to the Senate.
The result of the vote was sur
prise to some and several acrimonious
speeches followed Senators Morrill,
and Frye declared that the end had
been reached and that there would be
no financial legislation this session.
Senator Sherman took a more hopeful
view aud expressed his readiness to
vote for any measure which would in
crease the revenues. Senator Teller
was bitter and sarcastic. He accused
the Republican party with being op-
posed to silver and with having vio-
lated pledges.
On Wednesday Senator Carter de-
livered his long promised speech in
explanation of his reason why he vot-
ed against consideration of the bill. He
was defiant and reiterated the charge
that the Republicans of the East had
gone astray.
The sum and substance of the situa-
ton is that the West is making
fight for the white metal without any
hope Of winning, and their radical
course can only result in solidifying
the party in favor of Protection and
honest money. There will be no ser
ious dissention as the West is more
vitality interested in Protection, ifsuch
thing be possible, than the East,
and the men now revolving are smart
enough to know that the triumph OF Re-
publicanism is their only salvation.
