REMARKABLE LIFE CLOSES.
Miss Fearing. Only Blind Woman Lawyer.
Passes Away.

| Miss Fearing. Only Blind Woman Lawyer.
Passes Away.
Miss Lillien Blanche Fearing, a
member of the Cook county bar, and
the only b!iad woman lawyer in the
world, died Monday morning at
Eureka Springs. Tnis is news of To-
cal interest, as Miss Fearing was born
and reared in Davenport, and is re-
membered by all old residents of this
vicinity. She won her fame, mostly,
after leaving here for Chicago by her
remark able intellectual gifts. Be-
sides being a lawyer she was a sue
cessful writer, both in verse and
prose. her publications being the
Sleeping World and Other POEMS"
(18S6). I'm the City by the Lake, :"
volume of poems, (S92), and
Roberta, a novel, U89D.
Miss Fearing was one of the nota BILE
women of her time. Utterly blind
from earliest childhood, she yet rose
by her own efforts to position of
prominence at the Chicago bar, and
an acknowledged place among the
best writers of epic verse in America
She was born in Iowa on a farm
edged by the Mississippi. She could
not see the prairies around her, but
she heard every sound of nature and
learned to understand and transcribe
as few others have done the meaning
of what she heard.
At the age of she published her
first poem, and by the time she was
IL years old her verses were appear
ing regularly in the Boston Tran
script. Personal letters co mmending
her work were sent her by Oliver
Wendell Holmes, John CT. Whittier,
and Edmund Clarence Stedman. Her
first volume was called The Sleeping
World" and mediately after its
publication the young writer came to
Chicago and entered Union college as
a student of law.
Her grasp of every principle ex-
planned TO her by oral method was as
tonishing. She graduated with
honors. took prize for scholarship.
and demonstrated the capability of
the feminine mind for mastering the
intricacies of law. Her professional
career has been brilliantly successful,
and some of the best-read men in the
profession admit that they never
failed to seek her ad vice when knotty
points of law presented themselves.
she was slight and gentle and low of
voice. but in cases of interest her elO-
quence became remarkable.

Representative of the Chicago
Bridge and Iron company having
the contract for the construction of
the Tri-City Railway company bridge
across Sylvan water from the foot of
Forty-second street to the Island of
Rock Island, are expected here in
day or two to look over the work and
provide for the fulfillment of certain
specifications with which Manager
Lirdner. of the railway company, is
not satisfied, and then it is expected
that the bridge will be thrown open to
the uses of the street car company
without further delay. While the
bridge is all right, yet the company is
not prepared to accept it until certain
changes es 'ential to bringing it with
ia the specifications are made. These
alterations will not interfere with the
use of the bridge meanwhile, but the
company is determined not to accept
the work until the guarantee is made
that everything will be made satisfac-
tory.
The government has notified the
Tri-City Railway company that in ac-
cordance with the ordnance specifica-
tions under which the bridge was per-
mitted the company will be held in
strict accounts bility for all abuses of
the bridge privileges, and that when
cars are not passing over the bridge
the approaches must be fenced and
gates locked, in other words that un-
der no circum stances must it become
an island thoroughfare. Manager
Lardner is therefore arranging to pro
vide the necessary fences and gates.
