for seventeen years and of the Supreme Court of the United States for eleven years, —
she having drafted and urged through the bill admitting women to that court, ten of
whom have since been admitted. This bill, virtually, admits any woman, duly quali-
fied, to all the Federal courts of the country... | a

Slope in 1884, and again nominated by the same party at Des Moines, Iowa, in 1888.
- During her recent visit abroad Mrs. Lockwood took a course of University Ex-
tension Lectures, at Oxford, England, embracing a very wide range of subjects by the
most noted masters and chancellors of that oldest and most celebrated of Kuropean uni- ,
versities, containing twenty-four colleges and three women’s halls. | |

Mrs. Lockwood favors equal rights for men and women; temperance and labor
reform; a true civil service; the control of railroads and telegraphs by the Govern-
ment; the abolition of war, and the settlement of all difficulties, including strikes, by
arbitration. She is the First Assistant Editor of The Peacemaker, and one of the cor-
respondents of The Illustrated American. a

_ Mrs. Lockwood also attended the recent International Woman’s Congress in Lon-
don, following Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the opening address for the United States.

name Mact.ze Belva A. Lockwood, charged |

She is an advocate of great merit ;
the first woman admitted to plead before

twice been named by the Equal Right party as —

Candidate Belva Lockwood told the Brook-
lyn people on Thursday night that ‘* educat-
ing girls to get married, instead of educating

them to do the practical duties of life, has
been the mistake of our later civilization.”

But it makes a very good sort of education.

What can the girls learn that will make them
happier? Marriage is the highest branch of
education, Mrs. Lockwood; is very popular

elective, still. | :

_ Mrs. Belva Lockwood’s Lecture.

- The Court room did not hold all the people
who wanted to hear Mrs. Belva Lockwood

largest ever assembled there. .
It. was a little after 8 o’clock when County

‘Superintendent Knauss introduced Mrs.

Lockwood. Her appearance was greeted
with applause. She wore a brown silk dress,

and looked much younger than her picture |

indicates. Her subject was ‘‘ Social and Po-
litical Life in Washington,” and for an hour
and a half she talked as only 'a woman can
talk when she knows what she is talking
about. «It is impossible within the compass

of.a newspaper article to give even a fair
synopsis of what she said. Her subject was

handled ably in all its phases, and there wasn’t

a dull moment in her talk. Her long resi- |

dence in Washington, her profession, and her
association with public men well qualify her
to entertain an audience and maintain its in-
terest. She israther a pleasant looking lady,
occasionally shoots off sarcasm, gets in a little
humor, and talks in fairness of the great po-

litical parties and their prominent men. —

are opposed to war. At its conclusion Mons.

_ Williams Grove, Pa., August 30. _
Belva Lockwood spent to-day with the
Grangers who are picnicing here, and drew

to the grove the largest crowd that has ever

been collected beneath its grand old forest
trees. She sat for five hours on the platform
of the big auditorium, an object of interest and
curiosity to thousands. She delivered an ad-
dress, every word of which Was drunk in by
her audience like so much picnic lemonade. _

| In the evening she went away, leaving the

farmers happy in the thought that one of the.
three Presidential nominees had accepted
their invitation to visit them. _

The hall was packed with farmers, young
and old, and their wives and daughters.
Every seat was filled and there was no stand-
ing room either in the aisles or on the stage,
A black fringe of legs dangled over. the edge

bowed when she rose to speak. The subject

of her lecture was ‘‘ The Tendency of Parties
and of Governments,’’? and when she had

‘talked about women, political economy, and

other kindred subjects she came to the follow-
ing : 7

‘‘'The American woman has been protected
too much. She is to-day the best protected

article on the continent. She wants to come

to the front—enter into competition for the;
offices, for money-making and money-getting!
to have a voice as to whether the tariff shal
be high or low, whether we are to have free
whisky and tobacco, and protected woolen

The Chautauqua Assembly, as usual, had a



very large attendance to-day, and is winding
up its session in a blaze of glory. Its success
has been phenominal and beyond the expecta- >

_tions of its most sanguine friends.

It was another day of interesting and ini-
structive exercises andentertaining, enjoyable
lectures and addresses. Mrs. Belva A. Lock-
wood was the speaker in the morning, and
her subject, ‘‘ The Experiences of Women in
the Professions,’ elicited the closest attention

» of her audience, which throughout accorded

her more than a full measure of applause. In |
glowing terms she pictured the women of the
future occupying offices of both public and
private trust and earning distinction, along-
side of the sterner sex, who for so long have
monopolized the principal honors of profes-
sional life. Whether her dream will yet be
realized the future can only determine; atany |
rate, her conjectures favorably impressed the
brilliant assemblage which gathered to hear
her. Mrs. Lockwood is the General Delegate
