MRS. KILGoRE HITS BACK
WILL TRY TO PREVENT della
WARE LAWYERS PRACTlClNC
IN. PENNSYLVANIA.

WARE LAWYERS PRACTlClNG
IN PENNSYLVANIA.
The Philadelphia Times says: out
of respect for myself and the bar Of
this state I will use all my influence TO
prevent any lawyer from the State OF
Delaware from being admitted to prac-
tice before the bars of the courts OF
this city and state" said Mrs. Carrie
B. Kilgore, the woman lawyer of this
city. to Times reporter yesterday.
Mrs. Kilgore was refused admission
to the Delaware bar on Wednesday
by the Supreme Court of Delaware
when she appeared as counsel in a case
she wished to have reheard. Judges
iGrubb and Spruance were on the
bench. Her admission to the bar was
moved by Horace g. Knowles, but
chancellor Nicholson, acting for the
court, informed Mrs. KilgOre that al
Though the court would like TO extend
every courtesy possible to the attor-
neys Of the sister State OF Pennsyl
vania, the request could not be grant
led because the State Constitution
adopted in 1897 did not provide for the
admission OF women TO the Delaware
lbar. According to the Constitution Of
Ulcers of the state must be voters. II
has been decided that lawyers are Off.
lcers Of the court and must, therefore
lbe males.
81 was surprised at the decision,
said Mrs. Kilgore. 1T is the first tim,
have ever known one state TO refusl
an attorney of another state the righ
to be heard at its bar, and / told thl
chancellor that Delaware was alone il
lsetting aside female attorneys. ] hav
been admitted to tho Illinois bar AM
, have had cases before it, Three
fourths of the forty-fve states hav
= women practicing lawyers. There ar
five hundred women attorneys in tn
United States, and / have never know
any of them being refused admission
, However, / do not take the refusal as
setback for womens rights, since di
not go to Delaware as a woman. but a
a full-hedged practicing lawyer of IN
State OF Pennsylvania. / think It is
: slight at the legal fraternity Of thi
4 state"
/, Mrs. Kilgore has pTacticed law fc

REAL ESTATE
AND RENTING
A Dull Week in Sales Of
City Properties and Future
Not Bright.
ONLY ONE IMPORTANT SALE

RENTERS ARE HOLDING BACK BE
CAUSE OF THE UNCERTAINTY
AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY
MAY BE ABLE TO RENT FOR THE
NEXT YEAR.
The real estate situation during the
past week has been inactive In renting,
and particularly in selling. The only
important real estate transaction dur
ing the week was the purchase OF the
Bradford building. at No. 907 Market
street, by Horace Greeley Knowles
from Judge Edward G. Bradford The
reconsideration was $4,000. This trans
faction had no bearing on the general
condition OF the sale Of properties,
since the circumstances were not such
as would be indicative OF a demand on
part OF buyers. Charles G. Kurtz con-
lducted the sale OF this building.
The Tull property, at Eighth and
Monroe streets. was said to Captain
Owens, of Chester county, by W. Scott
4 Vernon, who has just opened a real ea-
tate Office. The price paid was $3.50.
In the renting departments Of the
real estate offices a scarcity Of small
houses was as apparent as a week ago.
Few tenants are notifying their agents
of their intention to 7emove. AS fast
as these are released they are rented
by persons who hav been waiting for
some time Another cause for the un-
settled condition Of renting Is that
many tenants desire TO have honses
lrented before they give up houses in
which they are nowelvlng. These ten
ants in holding or make the condi-
ton such that the real estate men can
not make up lists Of houses that they
twin have for rent.

iorganism. considered with a poor show

The two samples received from you

the reports for each:
Sample No. ]: Average number OF

Note: The presence Of the bacillus

ganisms in a drinking water is suffi-
cient to question its potability.
The isolation OF the various forms
OF bacteria found In this sample demon
strated that there are six forms pres
ent. In the order OF identification they
are as follows:
Streptococcus: regarding this germ

whether II was pathogenic or not; that
Is, whether IL would produce disease OF
not. There are many forms OF strep-

1t is said that not less than 10000
tramps during the summer season are
trailing along the rights of way of the
railway systems of this country, ever
like Little Joe in Bleak House,
''amovin on" a vagabond tribe having
a community of interest in all forms of

the law and some forms of which are
not. They drift through the country
during the summer and besiege the po-
lice stations of the cities in winter.
They are the product of, the railway,
cannot exist without the ride on the
blind baggage or the brake beam and,
denied this method of transit. would
completely disappear, because walking
is work, and work they won't 1t is in
teresting in this connection to note that
the Pennsylvania railway has this
summer introduced police system for
their road which has practically rid it
of the tramp nuisance. If this example
should be generally followed by all the
roads. they would be rare thing In

THE STRAIGHT ruRRow.

Asked lately to name quickly and
without consideration some one thing
which might be accepted as an indica-
tlon of itself that man was good
farmer, we said, straight furrow.
The straight furrow nearly always In
dicates good and correct methods of
blowing. 1t means straight fences and
things on the square all around the
farm premises. 1t means a certain
care and pride taken by the man who
draws such furrow, not only In the,
matter of the furrow itself, but in all
his other farm work. 1t means straight
business methods. 1t means that he
cares for his tools and his stock. The
fellow who in finishing up land In
blowing has a piece rod wide in the
middle unplowed when he is finishing
up the two ends is not only WARBLER
In the matter Of blowing, but ten
chances to one you will find his ma
chinery out of doors, his COW In the or

English millers say that they are
obliged to mix large quantities Of i'm
ported wheat with the home grown
wheat to obtain sample of -four that
will rank as first class and command
good price. They say that the quail
ty of the English wheat has degener-
ated for milling purposes and charge
that this is in part the result of lack
of care in selecting seed. There Is no
doubt that Inferior seed. small or
shrunken, will result in a poorer grain,
especially If the practice is continued.
The large. plump grain is the cheapest
seed to use. A change of seed from one
locality to another may have some
effect in improving it.sand experiments
in regard to cross fertilization are in
progress, which are hoped will unite
the good qualities of some of the most
hardy, prolific and best milling yarie-
ties. Some Of them have been very
