BIC FEE FOR A
WOMAN LAWYER
THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
WON BY VICTORY IN $3,0OO,000
CONTEST.

CHICAGO, June 29.-Miss Mary E.
Miller, a Chicago lawyer, will receive
the largest fee said to have been given
feminine barrister 0000. She will
be the recipient of this for successful
ly prosecuting a suit on behalf of the
grandchildren of the late William
Bross for the $3,000,000 estate left, by
him.
There is nothing remarkable about
the suit" said Miss Miller today I'VE
won, and of course the fee will be
paid. 1t will be about 100000. There
is no reason why a woman should not
handle such cases as successfully as
men lawyers"
Miss Miller is a suffragette and So
cialist and has appeared frequently as
a speaker at Socialist meetings.
Have you had any proposals of mar
riage since the great fee was won by
you?"
mo, not yet, because, perhaps, the
money won't be paid over until the
formal order has been placed in the
court records. May be then, some one
will want to propose to me by mail,
but please don't suggest such a thing"

Perverted Reasoning.

Seeking to use the decline in
cotton for conviction of the anti
option laws as its cause, the New
Orleans Picayune says:
In other days prior to the agi-
tation against speculation the spin
ners would not have had it in
their power to compel Southern
farmers to bear the burden of f.
nancing the remaining stocks of
cotton, nor would they have had
any reasonable assurance of lower
prices later on, even with a large
crop in prospect, as the speculator
would have promptly entered the
market in competition with the
spinner, compelling him to buy in
self-protection, as he has always
done in the past. Under the
operation of the anti-option laws.
now in force in most states of the
South, the spectators are not
permitted to enter the market in
competition with the spinner for
the control of the balance of the
small crop.
But what about the like, and
even worse, declines of cotton in
those other days" when specula-
ton was unfettered? Ii is true
that "the speculator cannot enter
the market in competition with
the spinner. = But as he can
neither compete with the grower
or the seller, is not the one effect
a eounterbalance Of the other?
Obviously, yes. This reason
ing, now daily feature Of the
New Orleans press, is so shallow
and short sighted, that it raises
the suspicion of an uIterior mo-
tive an unayowed purpose. 1t
seems designed to serve the New
Orleans bucket shops, the cotton
gamblers, rather than the cotton
growers. Unless we are greatly
it is prompted to scare
crow the Louisiana legislature
from adoption of an anticipation
law Vicksburg Herald.

Oldest PaDer SuSpendS.

The oldest paper in the world.
the Pekin Gazette, nearly 1000
years old, has suspended pubIica-
tioB. The paper was established
A. D. 911. While long establish
ed newspapers as a rule, like long
established banks, are considered
strongest and safest, the old will
sometimes crumbIe aud fall,
while the new grows in strength
to fill the place formerly occupied
by the older rival. This piece of
news calls to mind, too, the fact
that during the life of the Pekin
Gazette the map of the world has
been changed and the centers Of
intelligence and power made and
remade. One thousand years ago
China was considered the center
Of civilization and progress, while
the Anglo-Saxon race, now the
dominating force of the world,
was little known, and America,
the center today OF wealth and
Christian civilization, was q howl
ing wilderness, inhabited BY saw

Why the State Could Not Help the
Storm Sufferers.

Gov. Noel thus explains why
the State government could sup
ply so little material aid to the
cyclone sufferers:
The State had nothing that it
could provide for tornado suffer
ers, except tie use of the charity
hospital at Natchez, convenient to
those at that place. and National
Guardsmen for protection and
some tents for shelter. The ex-
ecutive contingent fund is alto
gether insufficient to meet the
ordinary demands upon it for ex-
penses of the Governors office
and funds for punishment and de-
lection of crimes, including re-
wards. Labor of convicts is pro-
hibited by law as being a crime
when applied to any purpose ex.
cept on the States own property,
and on public roads aud Ieyees,
and only there when not needed on
the farms, and when at no expense
to the State. For these reasons
Gov. Noel could furnish no aid
from the executive contingent
fund, nor from convicts. The
whole of that fund would not have
betrayed half of the contributions
made by Hattiesburg alone DUR
ing the past week. The knowledge
of the inability Of the State to
provide relief made that rendered
By the Federal Government and
the benevolent people necessary.
