Women Lawyers Deprecated.

Law Notes, n legal magazine pub
lished in Northport, n. Y. is in favor OF
allowing women to study and practice
law, but does not believe they will ever
succeed in the profession. 1t says,
among other things:
''In some states the bar rs a career
has been open to women for forty years
or more. The impression which they
have made in such states as lawyers
and the influence which they have had
on the profession have been absolutely
imperceptible. We are told again and
again by the advocates of the policy
OF allowing women to enter the pro-
fession that with women at the bar
there would be fewer shysters, that
they would exercise 4 beneficial infiu-
ence in upholding the dignity and fair
name of the profession, etc. Are there
fewer shysters in proportion to num-
bers or is the profession more dignified
and inspired by higher ideals in Chica-
go or New York. where women for a
generation or more have been permit
ted TO practice, than in Baltimore,
where they are excluded? No. The
simple truth of the matter is that wo-
men as Il class are not endowed by
their Creator with either the physical
or the mental attributes which fit them
for n legal career. There may be
few marked exceptions. but the aver
age intelligent. cultured and educated
woman is no more fit for the practice
of law than the ordinary male is for
the position of leading soprano in a
church choir. BY all means, then. let
down the bars and let the women
come to the bar If they choose and
when they wish. but stop prating about
the fear of female competition. Wo-
men are doing nobly their part of the
worlds work in countless lines of hui
man endeavor. but as lawyers they
never were and never will be a sue
cess"

''Talk about new occupations for wo-
menu" exclaimed Mrs. katherine Nor
relI when asked regarding women in
the Klondike. "There is no demand for
them at Dawson. The women there
find that there are fortunes to be made
Mt the old occupations, and they are
making them and making them fast"
Mrs. Morrell, who has just returned
from the Klondike and who is now pre-
pairing for trip to Honolulu, Russia,
China, Japan, New Zealand and Aus

every city in the United States, and she

money be made in a short time as in

The rod and reel devotees of the

her the championship of the world.
She landed with the rod and reel, I'M

pounds. All this with a twenty-four
thread line and sixteen ounce rod.
Several hundred persons witnessed
the weighing, and when the weight
was announced-416 pounds; length,

gratulations. The angler had beaten
every record, carried off all in honors
and was the champion of the world.

game fish ever caught with a rod.
1t was no light undertaking. The
big fish fought for three and a half
hours. For all that time it was ques-

chances in favor of the fish. But skill
and remarkable endurance won, and
Mrs. Barrett brought the monster to

Frenchwomen Forsake Kitchen.

ErenchyvOmen FOrShke httchens
The latest fad of the feminine eman-
cipation women I'm France is that the
fair sex should no longer supervise
what goes on in the household kitchen.
This campaign against home cookery
is led by Nine. Seminal, who contends
that cookery should in the present age
of progress be the work of specialists.
Trained cooks, it is proposed, outside
the domestic circle might prepare the
various meals. and women, thus re-
lieved of their duties as mistress OF
the house, would have more leisure to
devote to higher pursuits. Washing
such is the argument--is rarely done
at home I'm France. Or mending or
dressmaking. Why should not the
kitchen be suppressed and with it the
daily drudgery of marketing or prepar-
ing meals? Nine. Seminal appears to
believe that matters would be excel
lently arranged by the foundation Of
culinary walters, to which families
would subscribe so much per month
and in return be provided with their
daily food. The ambition of home
life in France. particularly in Paris,
we are all well aware, differs essential
ly from the notions on the subject in
England. 1t may be doubted. how
ever. whether the average Frenchwo-
man of the period would be happier
were she relieved of one of the most
important of her domestic functions

A PettIcoat For Use and Ornament.

A petticoat OF fine white alpaca,
much frilled, is a useful garment for
wear with the light colored frocks so
much worn just now. White linen pet
ticOats lose their freshness when worn
once. and white silk petticoats are lux
uries few can afford for ordinary occa-
sions.
A managing" woman who has more
ingenuity than money made herself n
set of cambria petticoats which she
wore Under light dress skirts all sum-
mer. One of the petticOats was dotted
and hemmed with black. The second
was edged with turquoise blue, the
third had a fiounce of pink, and the
fourth was hemmed with scarlet. They
washed like the proverbial rag and had
no lace or insertion to succumb to
country wear.

Walter Wellman, the noted
Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Record-Herald, forecasts
the decision of the United States
supreme court in the insular cases,
which will probably be handed
down Monday. Tho decision will
hold that the constitution does not
follow the flag in territory acquired
by war, thus unfolding the conten-
ton of the government in these
notable cases, which were ably ar
gued and at great length some
months ago. The majority of the
justices agree that territory acquired
by war does not thereby obtain
right to enter the union, but may
be governed as congress may pro-
vide.

Grand. Secretary Leedy, of the Odd
Fellows, was looking over an old book
the other day and made remarkable
discovery. The book was the record of
1880. In the list of officers of state
lodges for the half year ending July,
1850, he found the following names:
Oliver p. Morton, chief patriarch of
the lodge at Centervllle. Morton was
subsequently war governor of Indiana.
Schuyler Colfax, scribe of the lodge
at South Bend. Mr.. Colfax was later
vice-president of the United States.
Alvin z. Hovey, treasurer of the
lodge at Mount Vernon. Mr.. Hovey
was later governor of Indiana.
Ashbel L. Willard, junior warden of
the lodge at New Albany. Mr.. Willard
was governor of Indiana just before
Morton.
w. X. Edwards, chief patriarch of
the lodge at Terre Hsute. Mr.. Ed
wards was subsequently speaker of the
Indiana house of representatives four
or five terms.
Milton Herndon, scribe of the lodge
at Charlottesville, who later became
grand sire and acting grand sire of the
order.
All these men held Office at exactly
the same time.-IndisnapOlis Sun.

An unlucky streak has followed
the California trip of the presiden-

prevented from accompanying the
party by the illness of Mrs. Gage
which Friday night proved fatal.
Mrs. Mckinley, wife of the presi-
dent, was stricken before reaching
San Francisco, though her recovery
is confidently expected. Secretary
Long was notified Of the serious i'll
ness of his daughter and FASTENED to
her bedside. Secretary Hay has
been confined to his room by illness,
but is now better. Governor Nash,
of Ohio, was poisoned by IVY while
visiting the giant trees, one eye be-
ing closed and his face terribly
swollen. The big Ohio banquet
at the Palace hotel was called off
and receptions in San Francisco and
all along the route were cancelled.

There was an exciting scene at the
Ross house Sunday afternoon when
the negro woman, employed as cook.
undertook to run the ranch. During
the day she had several times ordered
Mrs. Bowel out of the kitchen and
while preparing supper she seemed TO
be taken with a mad fit. With a knife
in her hand she flOUrished her arms, de.
clsring that she intended to kill 1t
seems miraculous that she did not sue
coed, so far as Mrs. Bowel was con-
cerned, for she was within only few
feet of her. Mr.. Bowel rushed in and
grabbed her before she could use the
weapon, except to cut his hand. For a
few minutes she scratched and bit him
and he was obliged to strike her, Even
then he could not get away from her
until rescued by travelling men who,
hearing the cOmmOtioD, rushed to the
kitchen. The mad woman then went
to her room for a revolver, declaring
that she would yet kill Mr.. Bowel.

return and she was taken away. The

Within the past two or three years
quite a number of Illinois farmers have
sold their lands in that state and pur-
chased farms ia the vicinity of LOgans-
port, including Csss county and the
neighbOring counties. This exodus of
Illinois farmers to Indiana is easily ex-
planned in the fact that Illinois land is
now selling at from S25 to $40 more on
the acre than Indiana land, and by sell.
ing out in Illinois and buying here they
can better themselves by several hun
dred dollars. There is one farmer who
sold his farm in Illinois for 500 an
acre and bought farm over on Deer
creek for about so an acre. Formerly
he was in average circumstances; now
he is out of debt and owns one of the
best tracts in this section, being consid-
cred one of the well-to-do farmers of
the community. The reason for the
difference In the price of the lands is
not altogether plain to everyone, but it
is fact nevertheless, and many farm
ers are taking advantage of the Oppor-
tunity.-Logsnsport Pharos.

members of the high school and large
number of citizens Friday evening. He
handled the subject In his usually pleas

moDOpolies of this country. He spoke
from a non-partissn standpoint, point.
ing out the evils of such institutions
He also quoted from several author
tiles the possible remedies that would
protect the common people from such
institutions. He stated that in his be-
lief the trusts had come to stay and
that the only remedy for their control
is through the national and state legis-
lature.
