What Brother Gardner has TO say AbOut
the Legal Profession.
GFrom the Detroit Free Press. I

''A few months ago I had occasion tc
refer to de lawyers" began Brother
Gardner as he called the meeting tc
order. 81 now wish to refer to EN-
again. In de las three months dar
has bin mo- shootin', stabbin', throat
cuttin', robbin' and thievin' in dis ken
try dan any one has seen fur vars befo'.
Who am primarily to blame fur dis
state of society? De lawyers.
"a young man am shot down in cold
blood in Detroit. Oar am no clue to
de murderer. Ebery, editor, merchant,
nker, tailor, shoemaker an laborin'
man in de city am anxiOusly wonderin'
if the murderer will be arrested. Ebery
lawyer in the city am anxiously wonder
in how de fiend kin be cleared in case
he am arrested.
ga policeman am shot down by
thief on de street. De one who fires de
shot escapes, but a companion am ar
rested. While de police am anxious to
hold him until some clue kin be OBJ
tanned, de lawyers am anxious to get
him out fur de sake Of paltry fee.
"Let man plan a murder an he
plans de chances Of bein' cleared Of de
charge by a lawyer. 1t was lawyer
who first cooked up de plea Of insanity.
It am de lawyer who pleads kleptoma-
MIA, softenin' of de brain, fits, frenzy,
an any odder excuse to soften crime.
De lawyer who hasn't a reputashun fur
beatin' de law am no good. Let it be
known dat he am successful in clearin'
an his office am thronged.
"What does a bank cashier reason
when he robs? Why, dat his lawyer
kin make a settlement for half de
plunder.
"What does a merchant reason when
he tries to beat his creditors Why,
dat his lawyer will see him frew.
"What does a trusted official reason
when he pockets de peoples cash?
Why, dat a tenth of his stealin's will
pay a lawyer to prove him innocent.
''De lawyer takes de statute books of
his State an sots down to diskiver loop !
holes. It isn't how he kin enforce de |
aw, but how he kin evade it. 1t isn't |
now he kin see justice done to an honest !
but how he kin turn a vii
ain back inter society.
'Dar' am not law on de statute
books Of Michigan which a lawyer did |
lot help to make. Kinyou say daE' am
, single law which de lawyers can not
break.
''Pass a law to keep de Sabbath day
loly an de lawyer will try to break it.
Pass a law to elevate de moral standin'
If any class, an he lawyer will begin to
tudy to see how it kin be evaded. A
en- dollar bill will buy him to fight de
ause of de widow and the orphan. He
Iefends the grave-robber wild twice de
eal that he displays in defendin' a civil
skshun. Ebery case of murder, arson
n robbery am so much cash for de law
ers. The day has come when mo-
money kin be made by burglar dan by
whosesale grocer, an widout much
40 risk Ebery new batch of lawyers
urned loose on de kentry am bid fur
new batch of criminals, an some Of
on will lib to see de day when it will be
lfer TO be a criminal dan it will be TO
ursue an honest business.

THE NEW YEAR.

Like young maiden, comes the year,
Bright with youths first glory;
Where's the golden pen to write
Her life's yet hopeful story?
Glaaness waits on all her steps,
Crowned her brow with flowers;
Mirth and music, sisters gay,
Wing the pleasant hours.
Al! young year, theu'lt yet grow old,
Thy step will lose its fleetness;
The coronal which decks thy brow
VIII miss its bloom and sweetness;
And shadows dark will fill the sky,
And dreams, so fondly cherished,
viii go to build the funeral pyre
OF hopes that early persisted.
Yet blessings on thee, thou Nv Year.
We will not cloud thy PFC .se
BY shadows of the loves : hopes
Which in the past went from us:
Bat count each year precious gem
Unto our life's crown given
A golden chain which lengthens out
Until it reaches heaven.

been discontinued, and reporting that
the fever was getting worse at the
navy yard, there having been six
deaths in the last twenty-four hours.
He stated also that he was improving
Gordon around the navy yard where
ever he could. Senator German, of
Maryland, and a committee of the
board of trade of Baltimore visited
the office of surgeon general of the
marine hospital service this morning
to ask that vessels bound for Balti-
more be allowed to pass quarantine at
the capes and be quarantined twenty
miles below Baltimore. Dr. Hamil-
ton told them that the quarantine at
the capes had been established at the
request of the municipal authorities of
Baltimore, and if the latter indorsed
this delegation he would lay the mat
ter before the secretary of the treas
ury; otherwise he declined to have
anything to do with making the
change.

A WOMAN SCORNED.
Hell Hath no Fury Like Her

BLACK SHEAR, Ca, Sept. S.-A rus
tic dance In Pierce county was the
scene of a tragedy on Thursday night.
Miss Mabel Smith and her neice, Miss
Roxy Wilson, both daughters of re-
spectacle farmers, and bellies of the
evening, were rivals for the
hand of country swain, with
a $4,000 estate. His preferences
for Miss. Smiths company was very
marked, and Miss Wilson became so
Infatuated with jealousy that she made
open threats that she would kill both
rival and lover Her brother, who
was present, shared his sisters anger,
and while they were all dancing in the
same set about midnight, secretly put
an open knife into his sisters hand
and went on with the dance. Sud
denl y raising the knife above her
head, Ethe Infatuated woman sprang
upon her aunt, and at the first stroke
almost disembOwled her. Before the
Mortified spectators could interfere
she again plunged the knifs to the
hilt in the dying woman's breast.
Without waiting to see the fleet of
the wounds the murderess sprang
like a tigress toward the throat of
the swain, but was seized be-
fore she could accomplish her pur-
pose. The woman's brother made no
attempt tc interfere, and when the
tragedy was over calmly walked away
and has not been seen since The
who is a handsome coun-
try girl of 10 years, is under arrest.
Her father is worth $25, 900, and an
nounces his intention to spend every
cent of it to clear her.

many began to arrive here within a
day or two after the first issue in lieu
of drafts for small change and were
at once deposited the same as checks

made by the postmasters sending them
which caused the banks to refuse to
accept them and this action wss deem
