BELvA A. LOCKWOOD

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Belva A. Lockwoods whole life was a record of useful public service, not only for the rights of women. of which she was pioneer advocate, but of a host of other causes to which she brought her great ability, her we'll grounded legal knowledge and her un- tiring zeal Nothing illustrates more strikingly the progress the nation has made in it's appreciation of the cause for which she strove than it's changed attitude today toward her and those who labored with her and that which marked her candidacy for the presi- dency in 1884 and 1888. Thirty years ago, although she had fought and won her fight for the admission of women practitioners to the bar of the supreme court of the United States and had Justified that victory by her own dis Itinguished successes in legal practice, she was the butt of the paragraphers and the cheap political wits of the day Today the American people lay upon her bier their tribute of respect and admiration, and they will remember her as one Who was not afraid to up hold her convictions as to right and Justice at time when she was in pitiful minority.

KOPENICES, NEAR BERLIN

electors of Brandenburg that the un- happy Frederick was court -martialed by order of. his father, King Frederick William I. His offense was his attempt to escape from the malevoent persecu- tion of the King. Lieutenant Katie, one of the two Prussan officers who had. tried to assist the prince in reaching the English court, was condemned to two years imprisonment, but the irate father. in order to set an example to his son, had the sentence changed to the death penalty and the unhappy officer was beheaded before the window of the 1Syear-old royal youth. After this tragic spectacle the boys spirit was broken for a time, whereupon his own death sen- tence was commuted to a period of nom- inal imprisonment for more than year.
 The captain of Kopenicls' episode Is in pleasing contrast to the foregoing grim incident Eleven years ago a daring young shoemaker, voight, secured the uniform of a Prussian captain put it on, went to the barracks and commanded a company of soldiers to follow him to the office of the mayor, declaring that he WoighD had been, ordered to arrest the magistrate for malfeasance in office The sham army officer who quickly escaped with his booty. He was caught, how ever, and paid for his practical joke on the Prussan army with long term of imprisonment"

Index of Prnsnerifx

"The number of people who use the street cars in going to and from their places of business and to the parks and other places of amusement is a good index as to the plentifulness or scarcity of money" said J. N. Gray, conductor, yesterday.
 When times are hard and money is scarce one of the first ways of call ing such a condition to our attention is the falling off of street car travel, as many people walk and save the extra or 10 cents per day and there is also considerable falling off in the number who use the cars to get to places of amusement.
 Judging by the number who are travelling to and fro in the city on the cars at the present time prosper ity must be present in Birmingham, as the cars are always crowded at the rush hours and the after-theatre and park cars are always full so the peo- pie must be spending considerable money at the theatres and other places of amusement which are generally classed as one of the luxuries to be indulged in only when there Is sur plus of cash on hand"

J
 WW ciaL)-Kopenick a manufac-

 The town of Kopenck, situated 10 miles southeast of the German capital, is built on an island formed by the con Its 5000 inhabitants are largely engaged in industrial pursuits the chief articles of manufacture being inks, glass, lino- leum, dyes, and sawnill machinery. The city's airplane factory which was de- stroyed by fire few days ago. was a recent addition to the manufa curing ac- tivities of the community.
 The history of Kopenick goes back to the middle ages. It is said to have been the residence of the Slavic prince Jaczo in the twelfth century and a hundred years later came into the possession of the margarve of Brandenburg.
 "Kopenick has been the scene of two unique events-one tragic and the other highly farcical, but both having mili- tary setting. The first was the trial of Frederick the Great then crown prince, in 1730. and the other the Imaginable esca- pade of the captain of Kopenick

Marriage is often ceremony in which a girl exchanges her heart for mans goat
 The average bride imagines that if the lesser half of the sketch ever mistreats her. the judge will send divorce around to the house and send the sheriff after her husband
 Once in a while the Anti-Saloon league overlooks a bet and forgets to slip a man something. A doctor has just come out with a theory that water drinking causes appendicitis.
 The only reason why some men marry is because in acquiring wife they ac- quire a cook, laundress and valet for a few dollars a week.
 When there are nothing but upper berths left. every traveller realizes what a nuisance the rest of the travelling pub lie is, and wonders why it couldn't put off this trip until some other day.
 What has become of the old-fashioned boy whose reward for being good all week was to get to get out and visit grandpa's grave on Sunday.
 When girl marries man she expects him to give up something for the privi- lege of being with her, and she is disap- pointed if he doesn't quit his pet habit and do penance.
 "A man can nave Aile siA-cyilnuet grouch at his wife because he couldn't get seat in a street car or because the home team lost the ball game.

"EDITING" MOTION PICTURE FILM

From the Popular Sclence Monthly.
 After a motion-picture film has been developed and printed it is sent to the general manager or to the director to be
 edited" Like an authors manuscript in the hands of an editor, it is shortened here and there, the captions altered, some parts entirely "cut" or deleted and the whole film dressed up to suit the ideas of the men closet in touch with the theatre-going public.
 The editing takes place in the proiec- tion room, but the altering-cuttng the firm and changing it-is done in the cut ting and assembling room by men who do nothing else. Sometimes the men in the cutting room (''cutters," in the traNe lingo) are so overwhelmed and confused with orders issued by the studio officials thmat they are compelled to ask for ad- ditional explanations.
 By means of the phonograph, however, one motion picture company is elimi- hating his waste and saving money. As the director watches d picture in the pro- jection room he utters his editing orders into the transmitter of dictatng ma chine. The film is then sent back to the cutting room with the photograph rec ord

Sheridan has ''cut it out" The list might be pro- onged, and when all examples are put together one begins to doubt whether all new slang is not old poetry writ large. Indeed, slang is poetry in just so far as it seeks the emotions through the freshly edged phor. It is the opposite of poetry in that it consciously seeks to be in bad taste. The difference is in the nature of the emotion it seeks to rouse. It's humor is Falstaffian; 1t speaks to us not in tears, but in fun only. If 1t is not grotesque-if 1t is funny merely be- cause 1t is new-its career as slang is short; it either perishes or becomes plain English.
