to elect woman to office, or of hers to
hold or enjoy it, ISL
The same old skeleton Of the common
law which has ever blocked the path of
woman's progress is brought out by the
Attorney General, Mr.. Morse declared, to
defeat the will of the people in Mrs. Abb
bott's case, and he said that it would seem
that an enlightened and humane court
would pay but little atteition to a common
law that had not one redeeming feature in
its treatment of women. and he expressed
the opinion that unless some vague under
standing of some one in the past, called
usage, or the intervention of some cruel
feature of the common law is invoked to
stay the peoples will, Mrs. Abbott is en-
titled TO the Office to which she was
elected.
At the hearing before the Supreme Court
Mrs. Abbott argued at length in her own
behalf and made most favorable impress
sion on the large audience the case at
tracted. She insisted that the law which
should govern the case is that women are
eligible to general public office unless by
some express inhibition in the constitu-
tional law she is deprived of the right,
and that. with reference to the Office of
prosecuting attorney, the constitution of
this State is silent as to qualifications and
void of restrictions. In conclusion she
said: I'VE have reached that broader
plain of civilization where the common
law fetters which once bound women are
found broken asunder and scattered along
the wake of our national progress. Every
year women are being graduated from the
law department of the University of Mich
igan and from the Detroit School of Law,
and every year these women are, by ex-
press statute, being admitted to the prac-
tice of law in all the courts of this State,
and now for this court, in the presence OF
| such a status, to inhibit, restrict, and
| abridge these women from the full enjoy
ment of their profession and from the
practice of every branch of the law would
be mockery, and would mean the arbitrary
exclusion from the enjoyment of personal
rights in violation of the law of this
| State
| The question involved in this case is
! generally deemed one of the most impor-
tant that has been submitted to the Su-
preme Court in many years. For this rea-
son it is not expected that it will be de-
| cided for a number Of weeks.

No Trace of Broughton.

Norfolk, Va, July 2.-The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of Lindsay
Broughton, bookkeeper of the Albemarle
and Chesapeake Canal Company, is still
unsolved Rumors that Broughton had
been seen since he disappeared from Nor
folk are prevalent. One of these appears
to have a basis of truth. Dick Arnold
of Petersburg, Va, who was in the Fourth
Virginia Infantry, told several of his COM
panions while the regiment was in Cuba
that he saw Broughton in Weldon, N c.,
and took drink with him as the regiment
was passing there on its way TO Cuba Ar
mold knew Broughton well. and his COM
panions believe he was not mistaken
Young Broughton's absence has preyed
upon his mothers mind until her reason is
threatened. She fears her boy was made
away with and is no longer living. The
majority of citizens here think Broughton
is alive, and refuse to believe that Presi
dent Weld, who left after the shortage in
the funds OF the canal company's cash was
discovered, is dead. Alfred P. Thorn,
counsel to the canal company, believes,
however, that Weld is dead.

Took n Century to Settle n cIni,

Trenton. N. J., July 2.-In contesting an
accounting of the estate of John Potter
of Charleston, n. c.. heirs here have dis
covered that it has taken ninety eight
years to settle Government claim. Potter
was a merchant and the owner of several
vessels, among them a schooner named
the Hetty Jane. While on the high seas
the vessel was seized by the French.
This was subsequent to the French Revolu-
ton. A few years later a claim was made
for $25 900. which was allowed a few
months ago. Bayard Stockton. of Prince
ton, was made the administrator of the
estate, but Richard Stockton, of Elizabeth
case was given a hearing here yesterday. 1t
was found that there was only a difference
of 81 between the two Stocktons, and the
case was non-suited. The sixty-four heirs
will receive amounts ranging from $50 to
81, 500 Some of them have spent money
in prosecuting the claim and thought that
interest should have been allowed.

RIGHTS OF INDIAN BLOOD.
Descendants of the Redmen EntitIe,
to Share in Lands.


Omaha, Neb., July 2.-As a result of
decision of Judge shiras, of the United
States Supreme Court, filed here yesterday,
all persons with as much as one-eighth In
dian blood in their veins will be entitled
to any allotments of moneys or lands to
which full blooded members of the tribe
| to which they may be related are entitled.
This affects thousands of persons through
out the country, and about one-half the
population of Thurston county, Neb.
The decision was in favor of United
States Commissioner Sloan, of Pender,
Neb., who brought suit some time ago to
have his rights established to a share of
Indian lands to be allotted in that reserva-
| tion. His claim was resisted on the
grounds that a person with so slight a
strain of blood could not inherit on equal
terms with full bloods, and, in addition, if
he could have done so primarily he was
| barred by the action of his grandparents,
| who, 1t is alleged. accepted property in
| full satisfaction of their tribal relations
and obligations.
Judge Shiras finds to the contrary, and
Sloan wins a fortune. The decision will
very much complicate the Indian allot
| ments in future and reopen many old

CHOOSING A PASTOR BY LOT.

In the presence of a congregation OF
over a thousand people gathered in
the Mennonite Westinghouse at Mil
lersyille, Pa, Daniel N. Lehman, a
farmer of Manow township, was
chosen by lot to be minister of the
congregation. There were twelve can
didates for the position. The exercises
were conducted by Bishop Isaac Ely,
assisted by over a score of ministers,
the candidates being first examined as
to their faith. After a sermon by the
bishop the latter handed twelve small
Bibles to two ministers and instructed
them to repair to the anteroom and
place small slip of white paper
which he gave them, in the corner OF
one of the twelve Bibles. Upon their
return the Bibles were set on end on a
table at the foot of the pulpit. One by
one the candidates stepped up and
selected a Bible. Each book was
then examined by the bishop, who
started with Amos Charles. The next
one opened was that of Daniel N
Lehman, and in his Bible the slip Of
paper was found Greeting him will
the holy kiss. Bishop Eby Immediately
ordained him to the ministry in the
informal but impressive custom o.
