woman Patent I.awyer.

Miss Florence King of Chicago lays claim
TO the distinction Of being the only woman
patent attorney in the United States. Be
cause OF her speciality she confines her
practice to the United States courts. She
Is the fourth woman ever admitted to prac-
tice In the supreme court of the United
States.
Miss King IL thoroughly versed in me-
ohanlos, chemistry, electricity, hydraulics,
etc. Such hitherto UNEMPLOYED fields of
science for women present no insurmount-
able difficulties to her. She is graduate
of Armour Institute OF Technology as we'll
as of Kent College Of Law.
She was born in little log cabin near
Waterloo. Ia, and was left an orphan
when years old. She attended the little
country school. one of many children all
variously graded, but huddled together in a
close, ill-ventilated room.
One day Miss King was subpoenaed to
appear in the county court as a witness in
a case on trial. She was about IS years
old, and until then she had supported her
self in various ways. her first money being
earned by working in a kitchen at $1.8 a
week.
During this trial. which proved a turn
ing point in her career she was impressed
with the dignity of the Judge, the legal
Tits OF the attorneys, and the solemn at
mosphere of the place. The strongest i'm
preston was made by the court stenog-
rapher.
The girl set out for Mount Morris coll
lege. She had managed to scrape together
$50, worked her way through college and
was graduated with honors, the only girl in
her class.
Next she came to Chicago. her first ex-
perience in big city, as Mount Morris had
been her first place away from her coun-
try home. She soon earned SO a week as
stenographer in a publishing house and al
ways saved a little toward future study. A
little later she secured a similar position in
patent lawyers Office, where she did
work for other patent lawyers, and from
then on her rise was rapid She took up
the study Of law at a night school and was
graduated at the end of two years, the
only woman in a class with ninety-nine
men.
Miss King was admitted to the Illinois

Woman Ron the Town.


-HHE real Eden Of this country, as
Stunning the reports are correct. Is
~ Enosburg Falls. Vt There are
H several Adams there, enough for
- all practical purposes, but they
don't count for much I'm civic affairs. The
town r. run by the Womans improvement
society and the women run the society.
Some years ago a board OF trade was or
ganized for the purpose Of encouraging in
dustries In the town and because OF soor
management and inability to accomplish
anything which might benefit the business
interests the organization died a natural
death.
II was then that the women took the
matter up and September s, 1896, some
twenty-three OF the gentler sex organized
the village improvement society.
During the last ten years. or since the
society was organized. $4,000 has been ex-
pended by the executive board in improve
ments. Among the first and most import
ant accomplishments of the society was the
purchase and improvement of a beautiful
piece OF land in the center of the village
which is known as Lincoln park. The land
was formerly owned by the First Baptist
society and was a low, swampy piece Of
ground with an area OF about acre.
which was q menace 20 the health Of the
community
Attempts had been made by the citizens
20 purchase the swamp and fill it In with
gravel, but those who we're directly inter-
ested in the purchase were unable to collect
SUFFICIENT money TO buy It, so they aban-
doned the proposition. Some weeks later
the women took the matter up at their reg
ular meeting and a committee that waited
upon the trustees was informed that a pri-
vate individual wanted to buy the lard, but
that they would give the improvement So
ciety twenty-four hours to pay the full
amount, some 81 900
In the town today there are two parks
and, besides spending considerable money
each year on those grounds, the society
pays out several hundred dollars for keep
ing the grass plots between the streets
and sidewalks trimmed down and beautIfy-
ing the trees along the highway. For
these improvements each member is as
sessed and subscriptions from the male
portion OF the town are solicited. During
the year the society holds parties, gives a
lecture course and occasionally other en-
tertainments.
The proceeds are all devoted to one pur-
pose and that is identifying the town. The
women personally supervise the work and
as a result Of their active interest the
little town Of Enosburg has public grounds
during the summer months which are UNI
exceled for grandeur in northern Vermont.
OF the two parks Lincoln park in the
center OF the village, is easily the better.
The grounds are kept in excellent condI-
ton and the trees and shrubbery we'll
taken care of during the warm months.
In addition to the work OF improving the
appearance Of the village the society until
recently devoted a part OF it's contributions
each year to buying new books for the
town public library. Some two years ago
the citizens made provision for a fund for
that purpose and since then the women 8

Women who Command Regiments.
European women are popularity supposed
to possess fewer rights than their Ameri-
can sistersi yet one distinction enjoyed by
them is little known on this side OF the
ocean. In the Prussian army alone the
commanders OF fourteen regiments are
women; and, although the position Is purely
formal, yet these female colonies enjoy
the military rank with the male holders OF
the title, and, on occasion, wear the uni
form Of their ONCE. The distinction is not
confined to German women, although re-
served for those through whose veins flows
royal, or. at least, princely blood.
Those who have been thus honored are
as follows: The grand duchess OF Neck
lenburg- schwerin, the grand duchess Of
Baden, the Empress Alexandra Of Russia,
the crown princess OF Greece, the Empress
Augusta Victoria OF Germany, the duchess
OF Connaught, the queen dowager OF Hol-
land. the princess Of saehsen-Meiningen,
the queen dowager OF italy, the princess OF
schaumburg-Lippe, the Princess Frederick
Karl Of Hessen, the Princess Karl OF Prus-
sia. Queen wilhelmina Of Holland and the
grand duchess Of Meoltlenburg. OF these
befrocked commanders eight belong to the
infantry three to the garde de corps and
three to the cavalry.
