MILLER'S RECORD
The Times Digs Up Bad One Against
 Him

Concerning r. NJ. Miller. late of Brhwlry and Cuachclla, the Times has this:
 Cleveland Nov. ll.-f. NJ. Miller, the cashier Of the drfupct hot air bank at C"achclln, has H bad hnancial record here. He was Hn officer of two institu. uonr that went tO pieces in Cleveland, tlie Superior Street Savings Bank and the Nnrthern Ohio Building and Loan Company. PuDr investors and deposit. orH lost heavily by these failures and there vas hot indignation against Mill Ter and the other officers, one of whom subsequently, committed suicide. AL. though the two concerns were rotten from end to end, the schcfners who wrecked them kept nlrewdly within the law and attempts to prosecute them crlninally failed. Miller is regarded here ha peanut iiuancier. He worked up business among labOrorr aud l,eople oi small means, promising them fabul- ous dividends.
 Miller was former scc'y and treas. of the dcfunct Cuprrior Street Savings and Banking Company and was inter ested iL the Northern Ohio Building and Loan Company. He left this city m August, 1902. He was indirectly in-
  volvcd m the failure of the Guarantee Building and Loan Company on Erie street, the iailur. of which led to the suicide of Jacob Blodt.
 ln the failure of the Guarantee Build ing and Loan Company two fictitious cheeks of q 900 each figured Miller K claimed to have certified these cheeks upon which Bludt drew the money. W. D. Saylr, into whose hands the affairs of the Superior Street Savings and Bank ing Company and the Northern Ohio Building and Loan Company were plac,sd, is endeavorng to have the Guar. ant"e Building and Loan Company stand the loss of the two q ,OOO cheeks. He has been given A decision in both the Common Pleas and the Circuit courts, and the matter k nov before the Supreme Court.

Ar. Newell Is Investigating irrigation
 Project

Washington, Nov i2.-One of the big ReHt irrigation projects yet undertaken by th" government is now under consid- eratiOn by the Interior Department and will be investigated personally by F. fl. Newell of the Geological Survey with ln the next few days. This is the Klamath project of Northern California and Southern Oregon on the border lin" between the tive States, but lying mostly in California.
 Newell left Washington two days ago Tor California tO make an examination of this project, but he will first go to Imperial, where he will make another inspection oi the Imperial project, which K proposed tO be sold to the government Tor water users for 5000, UOO.
 An official of the Interior Depart ment said today that he does non be- lIcve that the government will decide to purchase the Imperial property for the price that has been agreed upon by the water users and owners of the Cali iornia Development Company but that the government might, he believed, 20 ah"ad with its own projected irrigation works on the Colorado River. At any rate, it appears that there is likely to be considerable delay about reaching a decision on the Imperial project. Some weeks ago it was said that decision would be forthcoming immediately, and now It appears that probably nothing whatever will be done until after the first of December.
 The above we presume to be a mis- take. Government officials do not ex- press their opinions SO freely to report CTS; and moreover, 1t is entirely at variance to hopes held out by much higher officials in the service.-ED. PRESS.

NOT FITTED FOR THE BAR.

London Paper Gives Reasons Why
Women Should not Practice Law.
The struggle OF English women for
admission to the bar has been a long
and earnest one. but thus far they
have not succeeded. AprOpOs of the
recent attempt of a member of the
sex t. obtain the requisite license the
London Spectator gives its reasons for
opposing the sex in an incisiye article:
Sooner or later it would happen
that a case would be won by some
theatrical exhibition on the part of
woman who had depended for winning
her case not on the strength of her
logic but on the attTactiveness of her
apearance and the power she possessed
of making an appeal difficult to resist.
When once such a case had been Won
the great object of intending htigants
with weak cases would be 10 obtain
the services net of hard-hearted men
but OF beautiful women to plead their
cause. In passing. of course. it may
be pointed out that this would be
rather hard on the less beautiful of the
lady barristeT'S learned friends. who
might even be found to complain that

events much more disagreeable for

with w~Tal briefed against him than
with q man: it is even conceivable
that now and then a Judge might feel
some conjunction in addressing him
self sternly to a lady protesting over
much. There would be a false atmOs-

the whole business"

sALTIMoRE's UNDAUNTED SPIRIT

Chicago ChrOnicle:-With her great
business district a blackened ruin and

Baltimore is erect in her pride and u

The fcrtitude that the Maryland me
tropOlis has displayed in the awful dis
aster has been comparable only to her
magnificent self-reliance in providing
for the necessities Of her fire sufferers
and in guarding and protecting the
burned area.
Though sorely stricken, her sorrow
has been yelled with a characteristic,
quiet dignity. Her gratitude for the
assistance given by neighboring cities
in combating the fire has been shown
without effusiveness or hysterical
words of thanks.
The city's courage and self-poise
throughout the trying ordeal are char
acteristic of that genuine American
inspiration will be as apparent in the
which makes of misfortune a stepping
stone to greater and grander efforts.
1t was this spirit that enabled Chicago
tc recover from the disaster of 1871
and 10 make that date the beginning of
a greater era in her history. In an ex-
cess of local pride many ChicagOans
have believed and declared that this
spirit was confined to this community.
but the Baltimore fire has shown that
it is as strong and as dominant in the
old commonwealth of Maryland as it is
in Illinois. and that the results of its
