Pennsylvania.

Philadelphia. July Mrs. Carrie Burn

admitted to the practice of law in the
State of Pennsylvania. has Just died at
her home in Swarthmore. near here. She
was a familiar figure in all the courts of
Philadelphia and enjoyed large practice.
Born in Vermont in 1893. she taught school
in that state and in Wisconsin. and later
studied medicine receiving the degree of
M. d. from a New York co-educational
institution in 1854 Seven years later Mrs.

had a hard time breaking down the bar

ambitious to become members of the bar
She was finally admitted to the law
school of the University of Pennsylvania

Her difficulties did not end there as the
prejudice against women lawyers was still
strong. She persevered: however. and
after being graduated she was admitted
to the local state and federal courts in
this city, and in due time was admitted
to practice in the Supreme Court. of the
United States.
She was married to Damon Y. kilgore

Motorboat Disabled, Butteted

errific Downpou Accompanies
The Worst SquaII In Years.

Belfast, Me, July 2.-(SpeciaD.-
struck this section about 745 last night
accompanied by a terrific doWnpour,
but no electrical disturbances. For
about Is minutes before the squall
struck, the dark clouds rolled up in
the west and it was thought that a bad
thunder storm was gathering. At 7.45
the wind came on with the force of
a tornado and everything that was not
nailed down was blown heller SHELTER
before it.
Along the water front it was a sight
not soon to be forgotten. The bay was
inky black, topped with foamy white
caps When frail motor boat in a
disabled condition, and filled with boys,
was espied by the people along the
shore, the excitement ran high. The
boat was the 16-foot naphtha launch
owred by Wilbur Blodgett. and sailed
last night by Howard Heath. He had
with him several small boys, among
them Walter Norton, the 13-year-old
lad, who narrowly escaped drowning
last week by the capsizing of skiff.
The other lads were Alton Johnson,
Stilman Flood, and little Basil Pendle-
ton, barely years old. The cries of
the younger boys could be plainly heard
nv those on shore as the boat, it's en-
CINE disabled was buffetted by the
waves. Sometimes it looked to those
on shore as if it must surely go down,
but Howard Heath with one oar, the
only means at hand, finally beached her
on the Condor shore. The boat was
uninjured.
Little serious damage is reported out
side troubles of the lines of the tele-
phone, telegraph and electric light COM
panics, most of which was caused by
falling limbs from trees. No large
trees were blown down as far as has
been ascertained this morning. Screen
doors were torn from their hinges,
clothes lines with the family wash
were flying through the air, and
heavy wheelbarrow was taken up bod
i,y and blown several yards.
