The women of Fitchburg Mass, pro-
tested against the admission OF Miss
Ada Gillette to practice law before the
Worcester county bar. and the applica-
ton was refused apparently for that
reason. 1t was not alleged that Miss
Gillette was incompentent or ineligible,
but that she had lived, innocently
enough perhaps, several years with a
man who had been divorced from his
wife. The public, not to say the Phila-
delphia lawyer. will find it difficult TO
associate the fact and the application
in any legal or reasonable way, but It
it not characteristic of the logic Of the
average woman?

The record OF crimes and disasters
for a year ought not to divert atten-
ton from the list Of gifts, personal or
by bequest, to religious, educational
and charitable objects. Small dona
tions not being taken into the account,
the gifts throughout the United States
in 1897 aggregated, in round numbers,
thirty-three million, six hundred and
thirteen thousand dollars. Over thir-
teen million dollars came from women.
The summary from which these figures
are obtained shows that for churches
and religious societies more than five
millions were given, while the muniti-
cent sum of ten million, two hundred
and three thousand dollars went to
colleges. Glad and discriminate CIV
ing thus made the year a period to be
remembered with thankfulness.

The district council of the Brother
hood of Carpenters and Joiners is pre-
pairing to ask the Illinois Legisiatul e
for a new law relating to the subject
of the collection Of wages, which will
be a radical departure from any now
in existence in this country, and which
will place an employer who fails 20
pay his men in a position where he
can be committed TO Jail by a justice
of the peace. The proposed bin will be
framed after the law now in existence
In Liverpool where all that is nee
essary for workman to do Is to COM
plain to the magistrate that his wages
have not been paid. The employer Is
summoned before the magistrate to
show cause why he should not pay the
wages and is given certain length OF
time in which to pay them II the
money is not forthcoming in that time
the employer may be committed to jail.
Omcers of the carpenters unions say
that some law of this character is abb
solutely necessary to protect the work
men OF Chicago against irresponsible
contractors. The present lien law,
they declare, has proved wholly made
quate.
