his usefulness. When appointed
Commissioner he applied himself TO
his work with the regularity OF clerk.
Every hour OF the day he was ut his
desk, and his decision OF tho old
claims raised a howl OF indignation
from the corruption of that day. In
the case OF the Hot Springs claims,
for instance, which has been hanging
by the eyelids for twenty years, he
made decision which was appealed
from to the Supreme Court, and it Is
in litigation to this day.
But the period OF time Mr.. Hen

WHAT Mn. HENDRICKS Is DOING.
As far as appearance goes, the
Presidency is the last of his thoughts.
He is devoted to his profession. His
receipts for fees Dire enormous, rang
ing often as high as four or five thou
sand dollars a month. In the man
agement of his cases, he does not go
ont of his way to hunt up evidence.
His knowledge of the law is accurate
and thorough, and he takes advan-
tare of every DEVELOPMENT in the
progress OF the case. Nodiscrcpancy
or sophism can escape his analysis,
and he is merciless in It's exposure.
His sarcasm is as keen and cruel as q
rapier thrust, while his manner is
courteous in the extreme, and his
speaking is a model of clearness and
energy. In quickness OF debate he IS
unrivaiied. ana IN one triai ne repied
