Show Two Women Naturalized. At Worcester, Mass., April 2, for tho first time in the history of the central district court, two women appeared among the applicants for naturalization papers. Thoy were bright, intelligent, womanly young women, sisters, Joanna and Nellie Donahue. After witnesses had testified tho applicants wore duly sworn by Clerk Thayer, forswearing all allegiance to her majesty Queen Victoria, Vic-toria, ruler of tho United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The women took tho oath with an air of being thoroughly thor-oughly impressed with the responsibility responsibil-ity of the step they were taking, and then, with their witnesses, stepped up to the desk of Clerk Perry and affixed their signatures to the necessary documents, docu-ments, after which they left the courtroom court-room securo in the consciousness that they possessed all the rights at present granted to women in Massachusetts. |
