A SILENT REVOLUTION,
How the Great Cause of Woman's Prog
ress Is Advancing in
France.

PARIS, July 29.-Contrary to the ex-
ample of their sisters in England, the
women of France are making progress
in various directions more rapidly than
ever, though without those futile out
breaks of disorder which characterize
the efforts across the channel.
Not content with being able to
secure place for one of the members
of their sex on the Council PrudhOmmes
whose business is to look after the COM
mercial interests of the nation, the cham
piOns of the wOman's cause have now
successfully urged that a new feminine
lawyer, Nine. Grunberg, wife of a well
known doctor of the Paris hospital, is to
apply for the right to aspire to seat on
the regular judicial bench in the French
courts. 4 more sensational innovation,
if carried out, could hardly be imagined
Nine. Grunberg jauntily saw her first
application refused, but she appealed
from the decision of the judicial Organi-
cation charged with the examination of
such matters, with the result that, pre-
sentlng herself now with a still stronger
support, she has every reason to hope
that she will be inscribed in the regular
order of promotion. When her turn
comes to be elevated to the bench the
old order of things in France, according
to public expressions of opinion here,
will have entirely disappeared 1t will
be the symbol of the absolute equality
of the sexes in France The mere mat
ter of voting will be insignificant be-
side it.

purchased eighty acres of land within the
city limits on the north side, known as
the old Kimball farm, within half a mile
OF the pOStottice, and will erect at once
a modern sanitarium and lighthouses

probably tomorrow when officers will be
elected and the organization perfected.
The mud bath proposition has often
been considered here in the past and at
one time the late DR.. Earles of Milwau-
kee was interested in the matter. This
is the first time, however, that the mat
ter has ever been carried through to the
point of Incorporating.

. AIRSHIPS NOT SMUGGLERS' AID.
Treasury Officials Say They Have Way
to Get All Customs Duties

WASHINGTON. .. G., July Is
When airships compete with steamships
and railroads, the government will have
no more difficulty in assessing and col
lecting duties than at present So say
officials of the treasury department, who
have already given the probability of the
common use in the near future of aero
planes and other forms of airship, con-
sideration. The officials realize that the
airships may alight at points remote
from customs offices. but to guard
against such possibilities post masters
and other government officials will be in
structed to act in the capacity of GUS
toms agents to board and ascertain the
cargo of airships arriving from foreign
soil. All landings of airships will be
widely heralded, unless made in remote
sections, away from habitation, and the
publicity given will enable the officials
to keep close track They say it will
not be necessary to revise the customs
laws to meet conditions which may short
Iy result from the development of aerial
navigation,

TEMPEST IN A TEA POT
Royal Family in Greece Quarreling Over
Question of Hospital Pa
tronage

ATHENS, July pa pretty little
quarrel between the Queen of Greece
and the crown princess has just been
made public.
The dispute concerns the nurses at
the Military hospital in Athens, of
which the Crown Princess Sophie is the
patroness. 1t has an English matron
and three English nurses on it's staff,
and Queen Olga, actuated, SO it is said,
by patriotic motives, expressed a wish
that the English women should be re-
placed by Greek nurses The crown
princess. who is the daughter of the late
Empress Frederick and herself half
English, refused to accede to the
Queens wish, on the ground that the
English nurses were better trained, and
that the matrOn was doing a great deal
in improving the training OF nurses gen
orally in the country.
Political pressure was brought to bear
upon the princess, who chose the alter
native of resigning rather than giving
way to the demands of her majesty.
The Queen succeeded the crown princess
as patroness, and since then the English
matrOn and nurses have been dismissed.
The latest development of the dispute is
the report that the English women are
to bring an action for breach of contract
on the ground that their engagements
had still some time to run.

MANY CASESREVERSED,
Col. Bird of Madison Complies Interest
ing Data Regarding Trials in
States Lower Courts.

MADISON, Wis, July 29.-I Special.
According to a compilation made by
Attorney George W. Bird of Madison,
more than One-third of the cases APP
pealed to the supreme court are reversed
or sent back for trial. Mr. Bird declares
that the uncertainties of the law are well
illustrated by the recent Wisconsin SUI
prene court report.
There were ninety cases reported in
this volume" said Mr. Bird, eighty
eight of which were appeals from trial
courts and two were applications to the
supreme court for the exercise of its
original jurisdiction. OF the eighty
eight cases appealed, thirty-three were
reversed and ffty-three affirmed and two
modified and affirmed. Thus more thaS
one-third, indeed more than IS per cent
of the cases appealed, were affirmed"
Mr.. Bird said the cause of this was
imperfect trials by the attorneys, which
results in some one or more judges dis
senting on 10 per cent. of the supreme
court cases tried. Another factor was
that the trial Judge did not give the
case the attention needed. He finds that
the number of reverSalS by the supreme
court are about evenly divided between
jury cases and court cases. The liubil-
ity for error in jury cases is much great
err and 1t Is rather remarkable that so
many court cases should be reversed 3"
says Col. Bird.
1t is this greater liability to error in
jury cases that has occaSiOnPl the grow
ing preference for trials by the court
which has prevailed the last few years
and is still on the increase" he concludes.

as pilot, made a drop to earth in the
balloon Pittsfeld. a perfect landing
was effected. With DR.. Stowell as pas
sengers were John T. Manning and Miss
Blanche Hulse, a trained nurse. When
over Ashfield and auckland the aero
nauts struck a vortex which swept the
balloon rapidly upward to a height OF
over two miles. With but one bag of
ballast left, Dr. Stowell conceived the
idea of parachuting his balloon and al
lowing it to take its own course to earth
rather than to use the valve cord and
allow gas to escape The appendix cord
was loosened and the Pittsfield resolved
itself into a monster toadstOOl and start
ed slowly earthward. The balloon set
tied slowly until it came to rest, without
a jolt, in field in here.

GET HIGH CLASS STOCK,
Marathon County Farmers Buy Full
Blooded Cattle and Pigs from
Insane Asylum.
X AISAIT Wis Inlrr

WAUSAU, Wis, July 9-[SpeciaLI
-Supt. Joseph Roehl, Jr., of the Mara
thOn County Insane asylum, has insti-
tuted plan whereby the farmers of this
county are supplied with full-blooded
stock and grains adapted to this climate
at market prices. During the spring
about 100 young pigs and several head
of cattle were sold to Marathon county
farmers, but the demand is still far in
excess of the supply. The stock is sold
at market prices, 50 that the farmers
may replace their scrub stock with full
bloods without any financial loss. 1t is
hoped in this way to ultimately have
nothing but high grade stock in the
county. Grains are supplied on the same
basis and the demand is strong. This
year the management is experimenting
with Il grade of barley which, it is
claimed, will sprOut in six days. Mr..
Roehl said the crop looked good and a
big yield is expected.
