An effort to swear Judge Tarvin of
the bench in the case on the ground
that he W S an interested party failed.
The jrGg, said his only interest was
to prevent certain persons from acting
as ''aparchists."
Then there were legal tits on the
writ. Attorney Fiske cited legal au-
thorities. Theodore IIallam retorted
to the JUDGE. who spoke of his pres
encc; ''ICu are offering me an insult
and can not respond"
The. Judge refused to release the men
on Judge Hodges writ and said he
would allow the prisoners to make a
new appeal in habeas corpus before
him,
His ground for refu ing Judge
Hodges writ was that it had been is
sued before the Imprisonment of the

close confinement, s,veral requiring

Crosses for Women
 Insignia or Honor

leon provided upon it's foundation in 1892 that women should be excluded, but was in- duced to abrogate this rule by the remarka> ble exploits of a young girl who concealed her sex and, enlisting in place of her sick ly brother, distinguished herself on the field of battle. Her name was Virginia Ghesquire. Her sex was finally discovered through a wound the sergeant" received while saving the life of a colonel in bat tie.
 Marie Schelling. a Belgian girl, induced by love of the military life, fought in the French armies at Jemappes, where she re- ceived six sabre cuts; at Jena and Auster- htz, being twice wounded at the latter bat tle In 1906 she had risen to the rank of sub-lieutenant, and her sex being accident ally discovered. she was retired with the Cross of the Legion and a considerable pension.
 There were no investitures of women with the Legion of Honor from 1915 till 1852, when a Sister of Mercy received the cross of the chevalier of the order. A few years afterward the order was con- ferred upon Rosa Bonheur, the great paint CT, by Empress Eugenia, during the ab- sence of the emperor in Algeria while Eu- genia was officiating as regent. It had previously been denied to the request of the empress by her husband.
 Little American Decorated
 One of the most remarkable of the sto- ries in connection with the Legion of Hon or for women is the fact that it was once conferred upon a ten-year-old American girl of Muckford Ill.,, named Jeanne Carey. This little girl noticed that certain bridge was on fire and hastily doffing her rcd cape for a signal, she rushed forward and stopped an approaching train. It was full of passengers on the way to the Chi cago exposition, and among them were a

number of French people. This led to her decoration by President Carnot.
 Among the possessors of the order in The most remarkable of these is Sister Mercy of Tonquin She was wounded at ending the wounded in battle. She was also wounded on the front of the line of bat tie at Magenta, in the Italian war of 1S59 She also nursed soldiers in Syria, China and Mexico. At the battle of Worth, in the first weeks of the Franco-German war, she was recovered wounded from among a heap of dead cuirassiers. On another she picked up a shell which had fallen into an ambulance in her charge and carried 1t away nearly eighty yards, when it burst and severely wounded her. Her decora- ton followed later in Tonquin where she was nursing the troops the general in command performing the investiture in the presence of the assembled troops-a mark of rare distinction.
 The Cross of the Legion is not always conferred for bravery or services in war. Women have received it for explorations, for art work, and, in one case, that of Mime. Furtado-Hene, cousin of the poet. Henry Heine, of Monaco, the gambling res sort, it was given for many acts of char ity

cestors. The other is the Order of Ther- esq, for unmarried women of noble birth. Its Mistress is the reigning queen, and in default of queen regent, the queen moth- CT. Among those who possessed this or der was Princess Joanna Bismarck, late wife of the former German Chancellor. This lady also possessed the Cross of Merit, an order founded by the wife of Maximil- ian, of Mexico, the Empress Charlotte, who has for many years lived in an insane asy- lum at Laeken, in Belgium. This order is, of course, now extinct.
 Princess Bismarck also possessed the or- der exclusively for women founded in 1880 by Sutton Abdul Hamid. of Turkey. the "Nischan Schefakat" or "Shefkat." Among the many distinguished possessors of this order is a simple Turkish girl who enlisted in the army instead of her brother, the sole support of the family, and served three years with distinction. The order is a five pointed star, borne upon wreath. In the center of the star is a circular band containing the words in Turkish, Love of Man." Help and Charity" It is in three classes, but has always been sup posed to be the youngest of the orders for women, but this place belongs to the medal of merit founded by Queen Natalie of Ser via, mother of the present King Alexan-

Spanish ambassador. Don Pimantelli. 1t consisted of fifteen knights and fifteen la dies, who dned every Sunday with the queen. The requirement. was that those who entered the order unmarried should remain so, and that those who lost husband or wife should not remarry. The order came to an end in 1856.
 Although these orders are the goal of many strivings on the part of women ev- anywhere, it must be said to their honor that there is but one case on record of the false assumption of any of them. This was the case of a cook named Godin, who wore the Cross of tho Legion of Honor, military and other medals and other orders in miniature A request upon the part of the authorities to produce her di- ploma resulted in her exposure after she had enjoyed many marks of honor from officers and soldiers.

very old, and the number of those to which the so-called weaker sex may aspire is con- siderable. One reason for their exclusion, of course, arises from the fact that many of the orders are given for military service.
 In the year 1443 the Margrave of Bran- denburg, Frederick IT., nicknamed the "Iron One," established the Order of the Swan for women. It disappeared for time, but was revived by Frederick William ". of Prussia The chain consists of twenty four links, each with heart upon 1t, just as in the olden form. A golden rosette hangs from this chain, bearing a sun with a double flame and image of the Virgin with the infant Jesus upon crescent. Un- der this, in a ring, is a swan, through which is drawn a scarf, from each end of which hang seven little bells by chains. It is all gold except the hearts.
 Of the old possessors of the Order of the Swan we know nothing. In later times it is only known that it was given to Queen Elizabeth, wife of Frederick William ", with the understanding that it was to be worn by the reigning queen of Prussia. It Is remarkable that the old Empress Au- gusta, wife of the grandfather of the pres- ent emperor, did not have it among the fif- teen orders which she possessed.
 The Star Cross of Austria
 The Austrian Star-Cross Order, the sec- ond oldest of the decorations for women, was founded on September IS, 1868, by Elm press Eleonora, wife of Emperor Ferdinand III, and for very peculiar reason. In February, 1868, fierce fire broke out in the royal residence in Vienna, and sur prised the Empress and her daughters at their devotlons, to the great danger of their lives. The courage of a chamberlain saved them, but one of the empress very pre-

queen of Portugal is the grand mistress of the order. It seems to be conferred more as Q matter of courtesy than for public service, Mime. Carnot having lately received tho grand cross. The other Portuguese or- der for women is the Grand Star of Villa Vicosa. Spain has the order of Maria Louisa, established by the queen of that name in 1792
 In France both sexes may now aspire to the Cross of the Legion of Honor. Napo-

Women have always complained that they are denied an equal chance with men for the honors of the world, even for acts of equal merit with those for which men are decorated or distinguished. As mat ter of fact, however. orders for women are
