From the 8pekan Spokesman. The ailmipsiofi of Wyoming into Statehood recalls the pioneer days of woman officeholding in that unique civilization. Hester Morris was the first woman appointed a Justice of the Peace in the United States. In those rough pioneer times the bowie-knife and pistol oftener settled disputes than did a court of justice. Mrs. Morris was a tall, Elizabethan type ot woman, with as rugged features and as brusque a method of expression as has been ascribed to the English Queen. Her first case in a Wyom inir court concerned a quarrel be tween two young men, who were brought before ner armed witn bowie-knives and nietols. She had known them since their boyhood and in spite of the fact that a scene bad been expejted on ner nrst ap pearance, a Jew words of motheny advice to those who had known her kindness, t nd a native little mother-wit carried the day. alter that there was no more trouble. She was a particular "terror" to a certain class of evil-doers. Men who had been arrested for beating their wives or for general disturbances of the peace invaria bly pleaded not to be brought up before "Old Judge Morris." They wanted to be tried by men.

It is reported trial the inhabitants of ashing villages along the coai-tare dying iy the hundreds of an uit kjiown epidemic. Nothing has so tar proved a'urw, nor has an. alte rative been found, and the disease match's irom house to house, viitiui to victim, with nothing to stay its awful progress. The first reports of the epiderai. reached here two weeks ago, on the arrival of the regular fort nightly coasting steamer, which calls at seven 1 of tore more impor tant fishing stations on tbe French shore. The captain reported to the health authorities that while touching at La Poile, he was in formed that a strange epidemic had broken out in Coachman's Cove. The people thought it a virulent type of diphtheria called "black throat." As there was no regular physician on tbe coast, nothing definite was known except that not a single (terson so far at tacked bad recovered. Other peculiar features were that many cases of death ensued in thirty six hours after the disease ap peared, and rapid purification set in the moment life left the body. Tbe population of Coachman's Cave is but little over 150, yet nearly half that number had died since the first outbreak. It has also broken out in many other villages.

The Patrick automobile torpedo bad another test at College Point to day in tbe presence of United States army officers. Strictly speaking this torpedo is not an automobile, being operated by an , , electric current. It is an innocent looking contrivance which floats in the water and has its move ment directed from the shore, with which it is connected by wires. Under the guidance of the skillful manipulator, it will dart back and forth through the water like an saergetic porpoise and can be made to sneak up to the side of an enemy's ship without the least bit of iass. The war department has signified its willingness to pay i20.00l) for one of these machines and $17,500 apiece for two dupli cates of it as rxn as its ability to travel at the rate of twenty miles an hour is satisfactorily demon strated. If it cannot go at the rate of fifteen miles an hour, it will not be purchased.
