WOMAN STUDENT BARRED.
They Had Captured All The Prizes
At Baltimore Law School.

Baltimore Especially The Balti-
more Law School, the only one in
this city which has ever admitted
women to its classes, has decided to
exclude them hereafter.
Judge Alfred S. Niles, the dean
of the faculty of the law school, said:
Neither of the other law schools
in the city has ever admitted women,
and it seemed to us that it would
be better to conform to the general
custom in this matter"
1t is rumored that the action of
the faculty was taken in response to
a petition from the masculine stu
dents asking that women be exclud-
ed. The reason for this petition no
one is willing to state.
The woman graduates of the Bal
timore Law School are Miss Eta
Maddox, Miss A. Grace Kennedy,
Miss Emile A. Doetsch, and Miss
Marie E. K Coles. Miss Kennedy
took every prize that could be taken
in her class, Miss Doetsch took the
prize for scholarship in hers, and
Miss Coles took an honorable mem
ton. Miss Maddox was a distin-
guished student, and also has the
honor of being the first woman adj
mitted to the bar in the State.

HOW IS THE HoRsEY

In view. of the panic which over
came some people when automobiles
got thick on the roads, here is part OF
a letter about the growing demand for
horses, by writer in a Chicago pa
per. This doesn't look as though the
horse was sick. The writer says;
A doctor in an Illinois town told me
recently (and l verified his statement
so far as was necessary to convince
me of it's TRUTH, that he purchased
twelve years ago, a colt, paying sou
for it. He used the colt in the prac-
tice till few weeks ago, and then
he sold it for SITS. This may seem
incredible to you but if you knew of
some of the other horse dickers that
occur at the present time you wouldn't
be surprised In the same Illinois
town, for instance, team OF stone
blind, horses sold for close to $3.50.
Those blind horses ten or twelve
years ago wouldn't have brought $40
apiece.
Travelled lately from Chicago, as
far East as l could stand him, with a
horse buyer from good town in New
York state He showed me a list of
the horses he had bought in the Chi
He had purchased one carload for a
town in West Virginia and another
corload for his own town. The prices
read like fairy tales. But have been
close enough to the horse market dur
ing the last six months to know they
were the bitter truth. One span of
black horses weighing about 1,400
pounds each, he had bought for $3.50,
and they were not fancy horses either.
One of them, on the contrary, was
touched in the wind-"not heavy, Y
know, but jist little thick, y under
stand" as my informant put it.
Teams of draft horses that run in
age from to IL years and in weight
from 1,100 pounds to 1900 pounds a
horse sell for $500 to $500 span.
These look like fancy prices, and they
are. In addition, not half the care is
displayed in regard to blemishes that
was shown formerly when prices rang
ed more than SO per cent. lower.
This and much other evidence that
easily might be secured ought to indi-
cate conclusively that the horse has
triumphed over handlebar and honk;
that he is here for keeps, and that the
demand for him will not soon, if ever,
grow seriously less. But, of course,
the breeders will go ahead and supply
the demand and put the prices back
where they belong as measured by the
intrinsic value of the animal-In-

until the vines interfere. The size
for picking, is from 21s to five, inches.
A great difficulty is to keep the crop
closely picked. Cucumbers allowed
to 1ipen will greatly lessen the ;rop
and the work should be done by ex-
perienced and careful hands. The
crop may be taken to picking fac
tories or shipped to the nearest large
city, or sailed in brine and later made
up into pickles on the farm. The
aforementioned plan is most profitable
where there is local market for the
pickles. The picking crop is an easy

JUDGE AND LAWYER CLASH.
Lively Personal Encounter In Court
house At Baltimore.


Baltimore (SpeciaD. - The few
officials and lawyers who happened
to be in the neighborhood of the
Orphans Court about 1 o'clock p.
M, were treated to lively personal
encounter, in which one of the prin-
cipals was Chief Judge Myer j.
Block, of that court. His antagonist
was F. Legrand Carlin, court repre-
sentative of the United States FL
deity and Guarantee Company. The
affair took place in the corridor just
outside the precincts of the court
room, where the court was in session
at the time
The accounts of the .set-to, as
given by the principals, differ in
several particulars. Mr.. Carlin
heatedly affirms that Judge Block
struck at him and then threw a
cuspidor at him because he had said
that Harry w. Nice, one of the Re
publican candidates for judge of the
Orphans Court, would be elected.
He also declares that Judge Block
called him a liar and a thief.
Judge Block, on the other hand,
denies with equal heat that he threw
the cuspidor at Mr.. Carlin. He says
he merely. ran him OUT of the
courthouse because he heard that
Mr.. Carlin had called him a foul
and particularly offensive name.
