The girls were putting powder into

by the judge, although her clothing
was ablaze as he ran with her from

manned until 1879. In 1879 it had
quarters in the Salmon P. Chase
residence, which stood until few
years ago at COL E street The fol-
lowing year the school was at 633
F. street. Here it remained but a
year, when it took up quarters at
l419 New York avenue. From here
it moved to 925 F street, thence. in

stayed until 1891, when it went to

Quoted in this university, though
one lone woman did manage to slip
by and received the LII. B. degree
as early as 1878. This was Mrs.
Belva A. Lockwood. 1t is said she
had previously applied for matricu-
lation in the Law School of George
Washington University when it was
known as Columbian University. but
was told by President Samson that
in the opinion of the faculty her
presence in the class would distract
the attention of the young men"
And yet, many women have gradu-
ated from there since, and if they
left any broken hearts behind no
one seems to have ever heard of it.
Today Judge Ellen K. Raedy is one
of the instructors and another de-
lightful woman, Mrs. Charles F.
Carusi, is vice chancellor.
Mrs. Lockwood, who graduated In
1873, became a successful lawyer.
Soon she was the first woman to be
admitted to practice before what
was known until recently as the
Supreme Court Of the District of
Columbia. The Court of Claims
and the Supreme Court of the
United States denied her this right.
She drew up a bill to admit women
to practice before the latter court
and it became law February IS,
1879, and after this the Court of
Claims offered no further opposition,
Mrs. Lockwood was the only wom-
an to be nominated for the presi-
dency, which occurred in 1884, when
she headed the ticket of the Equal
Rights party, and made good show

the worst crouch in the world can
not look at a good English bulldog
for three minutes without breaking
into broad grin. But his amusing
outward appearance is but sign
of inward graces. hard to equal. OF
gallantry, determination and gentle
ness which make him true doggy
gentleman Built not for speed, but
for solidity, he is more amenable
to the discipline of home-dWelling,
even of apartment dwelling, than
many a smaller. more agile dog.
His street manners are exemplary,
for he presumes friendship from
all he meets, dog or human, and
we'll grounded as is his reputation
for finishing fight, he never is the
one that starts it.
Yet, curiously enough. it was in
the field of combat that this most
peace-loving dog gained fame. Bred
for the cruel sport of bull-baitlng,
he was developed with exceptionally
strong forequarters. undershot jaw
with terrific teeth and the retrousse
nose which enabled him to breathe
when hanging to bulls throat and

not yet satisfied The Library of
Congress, to justify his hopes,
must be a cultural power house
serving civilization everywhere.
His Inauguration as librarian,
April 5, 1899, was reported in The
Star as follows: Herbert Putnam
has come to Washington to stay and
has entered upon the duties of his
office. Mr.. Putnam reached the city
yesterday, and his first object was
to call upon the President. They
had a pleasant conversation. .
This morning Mr.. Putnam appeared
at the library and Acting Librarian
Ainsworth Rand Spofford escorted
him to the commodious quarters set
apart for the librarian. The oath
of Office was taken before notary
in the Capitol Building, after which
Mr. Putnam signed the oath and
sent the document to the Secre-
tary of State" Even his handwrit-
ing has not altered since that mo-
ment, His penmanship still is un-
pretending. clear, firm, easy to read.
Summarized in brief outline, DR..
Putnam's career is chronicled in
who's Who" in harmony with his
personal wishes. He was the young
est son of George Palmer and Vic
torine Haven Putnam. Since his
father and elder brother were pub
fishers, he grew up in an atmos-
phere of books and from childhood
enjoyed the privilege of friendship
with literary people He was grad
uated from Harvard in 1883, studied
law at Columbia University, 1883
1884. and was admitted to the bar
in 1886.
Honors Are Many.
His honors include degrees from
Bowdoin. Brown. Princeton, Illinois,
Wisconsin. Yale, Williams, New
York University and his alma mater.
He served as librarian in Minneapo-
lis from 1884 to 1891 and IN Boston
from 1895 to 1899 and directed the
war library system from 1917 to
1919: was president of the American
Library Association in 1898 and
1904: United States delegate to the
International Library Conference in
London, 1897; the Congress Inter-
national de photographic in Paris,
1900, and the International Library
