A Female Justice la Wyoming;.
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.

St. Johns, N. F., August 20. 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.

A TEKRIBLK TORPEDO.
One That Caa Overtake and Sink
Almost Any War Ship.
Nbw York, August 20. 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. To-day's
test developed ft speed ove ft
measured mile, equal to a seven
teen knot gait, which shows that
the torpedo could catch and sink
anything except the very fastest
war ship.
