VICTORY FOR ITALIAN P0RTlA
Woman Lawyer In Rome SlgnaIl=ea
Debut by Obtaining Concession
for Her Client.

After determined fight, Signorina
Teresa Labriola, professor Of philos-
ophy In the Roman university in
Rome and a distinguished leader of
the feminist movement in Italy, has
succeeded in asserting the right of
women lawyers to plead before the
courts. Her debut has Just taken
place before the Military Tribunal,
where she defended private accused
of having slapped his sergeant in the
face.
The court was crowded, chiefly with
officers and lawyers, who eyed the
slim and attractive looking young
Portia with curiosity. ,Signorina Le-
briola wore an elegant black silk Co.'S
tune, trimmed with old lace, and
large picture hat. She was entirely
self-possessed. Indeed, the president,
Colonel Delfno, and his fellow judges,
appeared far more perturbed than
she.
The charge was very serious one,
and the prosecutor general asked for
an exemplary sentence-four years
Imprisonment. But after an impas-
stoned address by Signorina Labriola,
who was often interrupted by ap-
applause. the accused man got off
with only four months. Signorina
Labriola received the congratulations
of the court and Of all the lawyers
present,

Some Fish Reports,

One thousand sword fish were
caught in ten days in August by Nova
Scotia fishermen, one ship bringing in
five tons. AS consequence the mar
kH was >glutted, an d some sales were
made as low as two cents pound.
Fishing is increasing in Nova Scotia
waters to the extent that recently a
million dollar corporation, known as
the North Atlantic Fisheries, Limited,
was organized. Holland is an extern
sive exporter Of fish, especially to Bel
GUM. The latter's total imports of
fish and musse,s for the first six
months of 1912 aggregated $1,22S,74O,
an increase of $S6,349 over the same
period last year. Imports of fish by
weight in the first half Of this year to-
tailed 6.51s,5OO kilos (lkilo, 90 r-3urds).
Dutch herring figuring at 2,536,129
kilos. Mussels from Holland are also
much in demand in Belgium, the i'm

ing 1,7s9,017 kilos.

KING OF AMERICAN ISLAND
James Jesse strang Really Was
Crowned and Had Dominion With
in the United States.

There frequently appears along
Chestnut street professional beggar
who claims to be Henry Strang, son
Of Americas only king. His tale is
greeted as huge joke, yet the story
he tells is true, the only part of it
concerning which there may be any
doubt being his own connection
with it.
The kingdom he refers to was once
set up on Beaver island, in northern
Lake Michigan, and fiourished for
some years. James Jesse Strang, a
prominent Mormon, had quarreled
with the leaders of his church, and in
1916 withdrew with few followers
to that island. Other Mormons joined
the colony from time to time, and by
the winter Of 1S48 they were suffl-
ciently numerous to threaten control
Of the island. On July s, 1850, Strang
was crowned king with elaborate GER
emonies. There was much contro-
versy between the Mormons and the
other inhabitants of the island, most
ly fishermen. While on visit to De-
troit President Fillmore heard of this
little Kingdom within the domain of
the United States. He sent an armed
vessel to Beaver island, and King
Strang was captured and tried for
treason. He conducted his own de-
fense and made such an eloquent plea
that he was acquitted. In 1860 he
was assassinated.-Phila delphia Rec

Rats and the Plague,

There is a theory that the old
brown rats aided the spread Of
plague in Europe, because the fleas
which infest them are more likely to
take up their abode on human beings
than are the parasites of the Norway
rat. This is hardly demonstrated be-
yond the fact that the cessation Of
plague epidemics in England and west
ern Europe was about coincident with
the Norway rat invasion. It seems to
have been proved in California that
the gray rats can spread the Infection,
but If the black rats spread it faster,
we may yet be brought to concede
some good in the gray Norway rat
pest that has heretofore driven out its
older brother.
