A WOMAN FOIt I'RfSECCTrXfl AT
TORNEY. .The case of Mrs M. n.Abhott In
lllchlgan raises a question oif ;lnteret
not only to the woman suffragists but
to l.iwyers. Mrs. Abbott, whe was ad
mitted to the bar in June, 1WS, was
elected pre ncutirg attorney In No
vember last. The qustlon at issue Is
w hether woman In i slate where
women do not exercise the rlrfht of
aunTrare. who has been corcmisoned
by the- etste to act as an attorney 'for
the citizen vt the state, can act as an
attorney for a county or a state.
There are now about three hundred
wr-titen practicing law tn the fevetal
states of the-union Fome cf them rank
high In their profrssloai Theie Is no
tfttmeitlfn to question the legal stand
in of a womart who comes Into court

lawyers contend that Mrs. Abbott, not
being. a citlscn n the sense of exercis

satn lawyers admit that, having been

court, el l a member of their nro

A LAR(!E Bl'FlNESS CONCERN.
One of the largest busineas concerns
of Qpegor. is the Kei:y-Bccth JLumber

at Grants Pass, four or five mills in
J(sephlne county, f awing mcstlysugar
plnef and the two mills at Saginaw,
Lane ccunty, sawing fir timber. This
company Is turning cut about a million
feet Of lumber every four. days. It is
the largest snippet over the South -em

tatives are employed at Denver, one at
S'an Francisco and one ir the City of
Mexico., It is new behind on It orient.
And' It often buys largely from other

Much lumber is supplied by this com

THE QUEEN.
! Graphic Sketch of (Her Majesty
; From the London Academy. .
The rain had fallen. . I arose, passed
through the town, and Into Hyde
park. The drops stjll glistened on the
tender green of the many trees, and
as r I walked the sun caat dancing
lights on the award. Then I met the
crowd their backs for their . faces
were set towards the ribbon of road
along which the queen would pass,
at flrat th straearlers. nursemaids and
thlr charares. then those who were
timorous of the heart of the crowd,
and bevond. the black mass dense.
mvin?. imnlenlnr on the ribbon of
road. A long line of waiting carriages
stretched on my right, for the traffic
was ctopped till the royal procession
should have passed, and there, seated
there, was one I knew. "So you saw
the queen on Tuesday!" I said. 'And
were-you nervous?" She shook her
head. "It was delightful. I really
kissed her hand. As I advanced she
looked mo tired. I felt quite sorry; but
arter t had kissed her hand I looked
up,. ur eyes met. and she smiled. It
was thrilling. I was! en rapport with
the queen. Oh. it was a great mo
ment. And you." ahe added., "have
you seen the queen." I nodded an$
smiled, for the green of spring was
on the trees, the sun' was shining, and
the gift of life was plain. I said: "It
was at the opening Of the imperial in
stitute. They had given me a seat nign
up in the high marqueei There I stood
the occasion was too exciting to slit
and for ah hour watched the allur
ing panorama. The place was a blaze
of color. The uniforms the garments
of the Indian princes,- the flags, the
gay. decorations, the dresses of the
women captivated the" senses. And
all the while a band played joyously,
and voices tippled in laughter and
talk, and the roar of the . multitude
outside drummed through all. But
it was the eye that captained the
senses that day. Never has my vision
been surfeited; and as the place filled,
and the body guard ranged themselves
on either aide of the throne, I felt that
the appearance of her majesty must
form a kind of anti-climax' for the
tale was told, the eye could 'hold no
more. Whatever of pride, of birth
and splendor, of show and richness,
the world, could do no more. j' Then a
roar from outside broke Into i my rev,

spends all his time in the palace amus
lng himself with, telephones, and. Wa
Intellect: :l beHted taBoC tops4edi
It ia said he Suffers from Hallucina
tions and Is no longer fit t rule. I
Kor years before he came to the
throne It was reported that Muxa flar
ed -din waa Intellectually weak. After
Mr. Benjamin, our first minister to
Turkey. 1 returned-: home' In -3885, he"
wrote a book In which be referred to
this report, but. he was of the opinion
that 'If the crown prince, wlro wag
governor of an Important province ori
the Russian frontier, gave - the im
pression that he waa weak-minded, he
had purposes of his own for wishing
to be thought mentally deficient;
However this may be, there was an
other report that he waa very favor-j
able to Russia's policy, which was to
crowd British influence out of" Persia
as far as possible and to get. all the
trade and other concessions In that!
country ahe could Induce the shah tol
give her. .This report has been borne
out by the facts, for .since the crown
prince came to the. throne. Russia ha
advanced her trade Interests without
hindrance, has received many conces
sions and is now expecting to build
railroad .clear across Persia from
Caucaala.
Tne shah is the second son of the
late shah snd his elder brother Is still
alive and is a very active and able
man of affairs. The throne would have
been his birthright If he had not been
the son of a pleblan woman, while his
younger brother was the son of a lady
of high birth and royal blood. It was
feared that when the succession came
Ziljl-Sultan, -who Is enormously
wealthy and a man of high spirit and
ambition. would contest the right of
his, brother i to abrogate the natural
rights of the elder son. For this rea
son he was forbidden to maintain a
separate army In the province he gov
erned or to Import arms. None the
less, it was feared there would be
trouble, and it has been asserted that
he - would not have submitted If It
had not been for the awful circum
stances of his father's death and the
seatlne; of MuzalTar on the throne al
Boost before It was known that ,
old shah; had fallen by the hand of
an assassin.;
The present shah Is 4C years old. and
his oldest son. the heir DDarni. ta
17 years of age. All the rulers of Per
sia amass enormous fortunes, as might
oe expected xrom the fact that the en
tire revenues of the country are at
their disposal The - fortune of the
present occupant of the throne is re
ported to amount to about $30,000,000,
a considerable part of which, however,

Gubernatorial Contests Set for This
FalL
Maryland and Ohio Are Uncertain
Iowa and Massachusetts Will Be
Republican Kentucky and Mississ
ippi , Probably Democratic
There will be four rouble elKtl6n3
for govei7or in November; In Mary
land and Kentucky among the border
states, and in low a and Ohio among
he Western states. The othe r govei n
orsbip contts will be p:actlcally un
contested, Massiichusetts being over
whelmingly republican, and Mississ
ippi overwhelmingly democratic.
Iowa, Ohio. Maryland and Kentucky
have, all four, republican governors at
present, though Kentucky is normally
a demccratle state and Maryland Is
usually so.
The term of the governor cf Town is
two years, in Kentucky four years.
There Is very little doubt among per
sons famlUar with the existing political
conditions in the Hawkeye state of tho
succers of the republican nominees for
governor ,nnd lieutenant governor.
I.wa was carriM by the republicans at
the presidential election of 18M by C5,-00-J
plurality. It was carried by the
republicans at the last governorship
contest two years ago by 30,Wv.' Tho
state went republican last year by 63,
000, and all present conditions point
to a failure of fut-ion In It this year.
In Kentucky these conditions appear
to be almost exactly reversed. In the
prceldential election of 1896 the Mc
Klrley e'.ectoral ticket canisd tie
ftat? by only TOO votes, 'with 5.000 gold
democrats In (overt revolt. L?st ye?.r,
on the restoration -of former ra-ty
lines, and with demccntlc tickets In
the field and a ipulist ti. ket nomin
ated beside, the silver democrats car-
tiei the Ute by a plurality of 18.000.
They wen the legislature and a major
ity of the J congressional de'egat!on.
This year the republicans expect to
make a vlorous Pght in Kentucky,
tut r gainst the same sort f otstae'es
that have kept Kentucky In the dem
oorailc column so lone and K-em likely
to make Governor Brsd!ey the last as
well as the first republican governor
elected in that state.
Whatever likelihood of succets for
th renublUuna In Iowa or for the
Cemecrats In Kentucky may be con
ceded, the battle over the governorship
of Maryland ia no fcure thing for either
Side. The term-of the governor' of
Maryland Is four years and the salary
4,500; his place of official residence is
the little town of Annapolis. Fee thir
ty years before January, -1896, when
the term of the present republican
aovernor of Maryland, Lloyd Lowndes,
began, the executive cf Maryland waa
a. democrat. aad in tne contest e.i
the former relation of the two political
parties In the Terrapin state was re
versed, lhe plurality of Mr. Lcwndes
being 18.000. To this total th city of

close a to glvi no arturance to one or
the other party, though In the .consid
eration of Maryland afTairs two Im
portant facts ate to. be rt carded- which
did' not formerly 'cbtaln. ' '
In the first place, Maryland has now
an honest election law, whereby whole
sale frauds uion the franchise,' espe
cially In the city cf Baltimore, are ren
dered difficult. If not tmpwalble; and
in the second place," Ms ryttnd Is rep
resented In Washington by two repub
lican senators, ; whereas almost uni
formly heretofore Its representatives
have been democrats. This is a mat
ter of political importance, because
Maryland is the next neighboring state
of the Di8tiict cf Columbia and in pro
portion to Its population is more large
ly represented in the federal depart
ment than any otler state of the coun
tty. In the .connection' between the
fc-leral government and the state,
through the United States senaUrs,
the republicans hnve giird an ad
vantage thr.n?h the displacement 'f
the two democrats, which is further
made cf impcrt-mce by the fact that
5lr. Gorman wa not only cno of tha!
most res.uicefil and Influential f
democratic h-aders. but ul- Intbriate
ly familiar with the ways and sub
ways of itoliiical life in Washln'g'nn.
