 In August he asked for a leave of ab- sence of two weeks, under the guise of spending the vacation in North Carolina Soon after his departure, however, an ex- animation of his accounts showed that he was short $4965 He was bonded by a Maryland bonding company for $500, and the company made good the shortage

 Several weeks ago. however, it was as- certained by friends of Peterson that he was in New Orleans and he was appar- ently making no effort to conceal his iden- tity. The bonding company soon located Linn and he was arrested by Detective fillie Murphy of Montgomery.

Women as Lawyers.

Professor Ashley, in Harper's Weekly.
 Today, women are admitted to the bar on equal terms with men in thirty-four states of the Union. Woman is intellect ually as capable of studying law as man. There Is nothing to deplore in the ten dency of women to enter the law They lose thereby neither the charm nor any true womanly character; no study or training can change genuine woman to anything else-she will be after, as she was before the same genuine woman AS far as education is concerned wo- man is in the law to stay, and the world will be the better for it. New York Uni versity has regular law course for wo- men, and has graduated some sixty-eight with the degree of bachelor of laws The work of these women in the law school is generally excellent, and in some cases brilliant.

Manchester January 17.-Although the cloth market has not materially improved. the prospects in some directions appear to be slightly more hopeful.

HARRIS IS APPOINTED.
Will Have Charge of Interests In the Kansas City and Orient Railway.

Kansas City, Kan. January 17.-William A. Harris, former United States senator from Kansas, has been appointed a mem Der of the executive committee of the Kansas City and Orient railway. MT. Har- ris, who in 1872 had charge of the Indian reservation and congressional land grants of the Union Pacific railroad between Kansas City and Denver, will have charge of the land and townsite interest of the orient roads.
 Mir. Harris said:
 "Close reciprocal relations between this country and Mexico are coming soon. The unmistakable trend of public sentiment in both countries is for 1t. The orient road will be largely supplemental to the isth- milan canal. A rapid transit route from the Pacific by the nearest way will be a necessity. It will be a great factor, too. in the building of the canal. Its southern end Is rich in minerals, in coal, iron, ce- ment and timber needed in the canal con struction."
