Women now are admitted to the bar In thirty-four States. There are about 350 women lawyers in private practice in the country, besides a large number in government employ rendering services requiring skilled legal training. Miss Clara Shortridge Foltz of Los Angeles is the first woman to 'eceive appointment as public prosecutor in the State of California. She has been appointed deputy district attorney, and her work will be confined chiefly to women and children. In every State there is need for the services of women lawyers.

John E. Fleury Representative of Jef-feison parish, and Dr.

Charles F. Gelbke, who signed a Joint letter to Gov. Hall on the election to decide who shall be le first officers for the proposed town of Gic-tna, have received replies from the State's Executive, which Gov. Hail gives his consent to the election, with a provision, however, that may result In etother hitch. The provision referred to is "at an honestly conducted unofficial election," a subject that was thoroughly discussed by, the signers of the letter and their freinds before the request was forwarded to the Governor.

No such provision was contained in the letter of request, for Representative Fleury "Contended that too much latitude was given for a contest. He takes the position that every duly elector has the right to vote, and that the election be held the auspices of a committee on which all factions will have representation, while each candidate for office wili have a representative at each polling place. "If such an arrangement is effected," said Representative Fleury, "I am satisfied that there will be an honest election. The committee will have the right to draft the necessary rules and regulations to govern the election and the returns will be made to them. The result will be declared according to these re-trrns and the Governor will be asked to name the efficlals wha are thus chosen.

It ought to be expressly understood that all candidate should be bound bv thee arrangements. There Is no need for any quibbling over who should or should not be allowed to vote, on technical grounds." Sheritf Ma'rero started an Investigation Monda of a suspicious fire that destroyed the home of Anthony Rose, in McDonoghville, late Sunday night.

Was the First Woman Practioner in Pennsylvania. Opened the Way for Thousands to Give Aid to the Sick and Suffering.

Rv Frederic J. Haskin. w- -y ORE THAN FIFTY TEARS i ago a little girl attending the Friends' SelH-t School in Philip adelphia it shunned by her playmates, who pelted her with Sf stones and sticks, refusing to admit her to any of their child-u sports. They called her "The woman doctor's child." a term intended to convey a much reproach as that of witch's daughter" in New England colonial day. This little girl, who now 1 the wife of Rudolph Blankenburg.

mayor of Philadelphia, was the daughter of Dr. Hannah Longshore, the first woman phsician of Pennsylvania. The Woman" Medical College of Pennsylvania was established chiefly through her Influence, aided by that of her brother-in-law. Dr. Joseph Longshore.

Dr. Hannah was a young Quakeress, who became imbued with the idta that she wanted to devote her life to the work of healing the sick. Her husband had so much faitli in her that he assisted her in every way, even to the extent of performing many of her household duties In order to give her time to purue her studies. After she had completed her course of study and received her diploma from the first class which graduated in the newly established medical college, the young wtnan had ars of tedious struggle, for even the mot progressive people cre not willing to place confidence It a physician. Finally, a man whose little daughter ad been the leader in tormenting little Luc ret la Longshore at school, became so ill with fever that all of the physicians jailed in gave up his ease as hcpeless.

Others fcllowed and, by degre.es, men's colleges were induced to extend their privileges to women. Ther are now sixty colleges of the regular school of medicine open to women In this country. These are uis-tributed so well over the country that n.ost women now may take medical de grees In treir own State. There are at least ten homeopathic medical colleges granting degrees to women, and all of the schools of osteopathy are open as freely to women as to men. The sign of a woman physician now attracts no more sttmtion thau taat of a nun, and women physicians are filling many public offices acceptably.

Dr. Anne F. Ries, a young woman of Ogden, Utah, recently was made city pbysician and quarantine otilcer, although no less than eighteen men physi-cans worked against her. Dr. Ries has been especially active and energetic in the performance of her duties.

A few irenths after her appointment she rode secn miles ipca the cowcatcher of an er.gme in pursuit of a man who had! passed through Ogden and was suspected of having the smallpox. The value of the woman physician to hi n.anity is especially great in heathen countries, where they go as missionaries. Owing to the rigid seclusion un der which the women of some rations live, they can have no medical attendance because the laws of their country forbid any man outside of their families to look upon their faces. When a woman fell ill under those conditions there was little ael'j for until the appearance of the woman medical missionaries, whose ministrations are said to have been more potent in breaking down the barriers of heathendom than any other one lnfluetce. By her entrance Into the harem or renara, the woman physician has been able to give the gospel message to the mothers of the nation who never could have received it otherwise.

The last quarter of a century has givei hundreds of women physicians to missionary work. The path of the woman preacher nt yet smooth. Many churches refuse to receive her, but each year opens new-pulpits to her services. There are at least fifty schools and colleges in the I nitcd Stat from which women are tblc to secure theological degrees. Last ear 457 women were engaged in theological studies, and fifty-one received 3-f-iees for tie completion of their courses.

There are few large cities in which one or more women preachers are not in charge of their cvn churches, although so far the greatest number of women In thi profession are acting as assistants to men pastors. One of the leading women preachers in (he world Is Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, the president of the Natioral American V. cman Suffrage Association. She se-cuied her theological degree from the Boston In 1878.

and her degree as doctor of medicine from the same institution a ffw years later. A Methodist by conviction. Dr. Shaw was denied otdination In the New England Methodist Episcopal Conference on account of her sex. although she passed the highest examination or any candidate applying for admission that year.

The case was appealed to the general conference, and the refusal sustained by that body in Cincinnati in 1S0. Dr. Shaw then applied to the Vethodist Protestant Church and was the following October, the frst woman ever ordained by that, denomination. She has filled a Timber of charges successfully, but now Is devoting herself entirely to work for the entra; ch'semert of women, believing that in Ui.i 'vay she is teaching applied Christianity. She is an eloquent and witty speaker of much personal magnetism, as wtll as ft girted writer.

Among the stories told of her victory over masculine prejudices Is one regarding the Parliament of Religions held at the Chicago Worlds Fair. A distinguished divine who had been impressed with the wisdom displayed in a printed discussion, signed H. Shaw." during a verbal discussion, arose and said: "I should like to hear from Dr. A. H.

Shaw upon this subject." "Will Dr. Shaw please come to the front?" requested the chirrean. A modestly dressed little woman advarced up the aisle. "I am Dr. A.

If. Shaw," she announced. The dignified clergyman lost several minutes of valuable time in discussing whether it wouM be proper for them to permit a woman to adciress them, but finally decided- in her favor. Dr. Shaw's clever presentation of the subject made the man who had most strenuously opposed her come forward after the meeting and congratulate her upon the lucidity of her remarks, adding: "The church has lost a mighty champion, madam, beeause you mere born a woman." "On the contrary.

sir." returned Dr. Shaw, "the church has a stronger champion because I am a woman." The wnnir lawyers of the country owe quite as nuch to Mrs. Belva Ann Lock wood of Washington, D. as do the woman physicians to Dr. Hannah Longshore Mrs.

Lock wood received her legal degre from the National University Law School in 1873 and after considerable cpprsltion finally was adml.ted to practice in the courts of the District of Columbia. She applied for permission to practice before the United States Court of Claims in is. a and was refused because "there is no English precedent for adn itting women to this bar." She draftfd a bill permitting women to practice before the Supreme Court of the Tntied Stttes, which was passed by Congress afte- three years' effort. Mrs. Lorkwood was admitted to the bar of tie Supreme Court in August.

Senator Burton presented a resolution of a $2,000,000 grant for the relief of Dayton flocd sufferers, and In the House Kepres -ntative Ansbury introduced one to appropriate $25,000,000 for the State of Ohio. The Burton resolution proposed that the War Department firt be reim bursed for the amount it had expended in relief work, and that the balance ba placed at the disposal of th American Red Cross.

To Begin Negotiations For Nicaraguan Loan Negotiations for the $12,000,000 loan to the government of Nicaragua, to be made through American financiers, will be begun in Washington next week.

Women dentists are found in every large city, many of whom are earning good incomes. Some of them make a specialty of the teeth of children and the correction of natural defects. The movement for the inspection and care of the teeth of children in the pub lic schools hss been originated largely by the women dentists, and many are giving liberally of their lime and services to this work. The women pharmacists of this country now have become so numerous that they have a national organization of their own with branches in every State. Many of them own prosperous drug stores, and it seems to be a class of trade for which women are especially well fitted.

It is light work, having neatness and exactness for its prime requi site. Sometimes there is an amount of night worlf Involved which women find objectionable, but the skillful prescrip tion clerk usually is able to secure day hours if she wishes. About twenty-five colleges of pharmacy now prepare women for this profession. Almost every hospital now makes some provision for the training of women nurses. The army of women who have entered this work Indicates Its popularity, as their continual employment demonstrates the need existing for their services.

The training given to nurses becomes more and more scientific, the standards of the profession rising all the time. Formerly It was the custom to pay pupil nurses a living salary while learning. Many institutions, as well as the nurses themselves, are objecting to this because it puts the profession in reach of many persons who would not taRe pains to secure higher qualifications. A large proportion of the members of the trained nurses' associations now advocate requiring the pupil nurses to pay a small Sam for the privilege of securing instruction in a hospital training school, and several of the leading hospitals have discontinued the salaries paid to pupil nurses In training.
