New Law Firm.
On the first Of the new year a CO.
partnership was formed in this city
between J. J. Browne, Esq, and
Judge o. f. Weed for the purpose,of
carrying on the practice Of law in
the United States and Territorial
courts. Both of these gentlemen
are well and favOrably known in
this community, both experienced
and able attorneys and working to-
gether will make one of the most
substantial and reliable firms that
can be found on the coast. The as
sOciatiOn is a fOrtuitOuS one, and the
result Of the combination Of mental
capacity and great scope Of knOwl-
edge can only result in building up
an extraordinarily large practice.
The new law firm of Browne q
Weed will occupy luxurious quar-
tiers in the second story Of Mr..
Brownies elegant brick block at the
corner Of Post street and Riverside
avenue, where the gentlemen are
now installed. One Of the features
Of their office is an extensive and
valuable law library, containing sew
eral hundred volumes embracing the
works of all the leading authorities
on Jurisprudence, besides having the
very latest and most authentic works
on mining and United States and To-
cal mining laws, putting them inapo-
sitiOn to handle cases from the mines
wherein ownership and rights Of in
dividuals are called in question. In
this connection it is not out of place
to speak briefly Of the new firm indi-
vidually, oven though they may be
known in person to majority Of our
readers. j. J. Browne iscOunted one
of the pioneers of the city. He
came to the Falls from Portland some
five years ago and has been identi-
fled with the place ever since. He
was fortunate in securing some very
choice property in which is now the
city limits, part Of which is en-
braced in Brownies Addition. lie
has shown himself a public spirited
citizen, and has done much toward
advancing the city to the point of
prosperity it has attained. Mr..
Browne is a native Of Indiana. He
graduated from the famous law
school at Ann Arbor, Michigan, that
has turned out so many public men,
and has practiced his profession for
great many years. lie has resided
on the coast for the past decade half
Of which time, as above stated, has
been spent in Spokane Falls. Judge
o. +. Weed is gentleman old in
years as well as experience. He
is a native Of New York, but re-
moved to Wisconsin in 1911, then q
territory and tiguratively speaking
bowling wilderness. Afterplssing
number Ofyears in study he was taken
with the gold fever and made trip
to California in 1850, spending three
years in California and Oregon, win
tering in Portland thIrty-thrce years
ago, then an insignificant village
of only small population. lie re-
turned to WISCONSIN, settled in
New London and commenced
the law practicgin ISL profession
he has since closelyI45llowed. lie
was elected County Judge in 1860,
and was one Of the first U. s. Rev
enue Assessors appointed by Presi-
dent Lincoln. Judge Weed came
to Washington Territory in the
spring Of 1888, and was so favorably
impressed with Spokane Falls that
he concluded to make this his fu-
ture home, Il choice that we hope he
may never have occasion for re-

.wbo Turned Dat Hog Looseq"

At a certain hotel in Peoria, whore
the meals were not always what they
should be, a merchant traveller, one
day, sat down to the table. He put a
dollar under the tumbler, and, calling
waiter, said:
s.Do you see that dollar, Jimp''
Eyes, sah," replied Jim. with grin.
"Well, now, Jim, want you to get
me a real good, first-class dinner. You
understand?'
Eyes, sah," and Jim sat out about
furnishing a feast for king. He had
no time to see to anybody else. He
hunted up new dishes, put numerous
extra touches ON everything, and kept
his eye on the dollar. Finally the M.
T. finished. and, wiping his mouth, he
winked at Jim.
Eyes, sah." grinned the darkey, in
anticipation.
"Jim. do you see that dollar?" put
ting his hand on it in q generous way.
Yes. sah."
''Well, you will never see it again, :"
and it went into his pocket and out of
the dining-room, while Jim Indignantly

The HohenZOIlern Shook.

The kaiser's high regard for his
French cook. M. Bernhard. was further
shown ON coronation day. On this
anniversary great number of orders
are conferred upon all classes. and on
this last occasion one of the honors
went to the cook, who so successfully
tickles the old emperor's palate.
AS all the grand festivals are held in
the old palace, there was great stir
thereabout for the entire week preced-
ing. Thirty cooks and small army
of assistants-women and boys-were
kept busy in relays day and night pre-
pairing the dinner. 1t was the curiosi-
ty of one Of these young fellows that
caused the rumor of the "White La
dy's" temperance. He had heard so
much about the lavish preparations
going on throughout the entire palace
that at midnight he seized an opportu-
nifty to slip out of the kitchen-an i'm
mense apartment looking out ON the
Spree ut the back of the palace-and
walked softly about from place to place
to satisfy himself. As he had on his
white apron and cap, it is no wonder
that in the dim light through which he
was seen moving noiselessly, he was
mistaken for the dread specter whose
appearance, legends, says, bodies ill to
the house of Hohenzollern. Someone,
however. followed and collared the
boy, frightening him fearfully. He
was let off with severe reprimand.
The truth was not known for several
days. and as the news of the ''White
Ladys" temperance spread through
the city, next morning there was great
CONSERVATION. Everyone was speculat-
ing as to who of the royal family would
be the victim, for no one seemed to dis
believe in the three-centuries-old SUPER
stition, There were not a few who felt
certain that the kaiser was marked for
death, as he had been suffering with
another severe cold. Berth Cor. Globe

FHrtine I'm New York.

1t is very difficult to judge of a wo-
mans station In life from her appear
ance on the street, says New York
correspondent. / Ipresume this is the
reason why it is often asserted out of
town that New York ladies are con-
firrned fiirts. The fact is that In no
city Of America is there so little street,,
flirting by ladies as in New York.
Brooklyn is notorious for its flirting
women. 1t is considered quite the cor
rect thing. or, more properly, it is not
considered incorrect for girl to have
an occasional Irritation in the street
there, but in New York it is frowned
down bitterly. There is no doubt that
in Brooklyn, and in many smaller
towns of similar characteristics, wo-
men and girls who are bored by lone
illness and the absence of any sort of
excitement occasionally. and 'just for
the lark of the thing" indulge in a
quiet street Irritation. There are many
cases where women of unexceptionable
scharacter are led to the thing more
through excitement than viciousness or
an absence of moral stamina. But in
New York such thing is unknown. 1t
may be asserted, without a particle of
doubt, that a lady here never flirts-in
the street. don't know exactly who
isr Irresponsible for this. Perhaps it is
!; that the most picturesque and attract
i've men to- be found in New York
streets are bunko men, card sharks,
adventurers, and dissipated club men.
who live without visible means of sup
port There is vast class of these
fashionable men who spend most of
their time on the public highways and
devote as much of their attention as
they can spare from the arduous tolls
OF business to the women who walk
abroad. 1t does not take New York
girl long to find out that men of this
class arc dangerous. She is never sure
who the man is who she brushes
against In the crowd. He may be .
bank burglar or Wall street broker.
She is liable to find out If she pursues
Investigations little further, but she
Is always afraid to take the risk, and
therein is the safeguard.
1t will be observed that do not give
New York women credit for having q
higher moral standard than women of
any other city in the country. Such an
assumption would be grotesque, for
ladies here are no better off morally
than anywhere else in the country. But
their street manners are certainly vast
| ly superior to those of the ladies of
other cities that have ever visited.
This may be because they know the
danger they run and are proportion
ately careful. or it may be on account
| of the firm conviction that street fiirt-
ing is low and in execrable taste. When
l speak of ladies in. connection with
this subject mean lady in the high
est sense of the term There are un-
questionably lots of women who indulge

traces them up, however, they are al

The Electric Light For Domestic Use.

The Liverpool Post states that dis
cogery has recently been made in elec-
trio lighting. which. it is hoped by the
patentees, will solve the question how
to bring the electric light into opera
ton for domestic use. 1t has been
found possible, it is said, to produce
the light without the aid of either en-
gines or dynamos. All that Is required
are merely the ordinary metals and
carbons and a peculiar kind of acid.
These are put into an ordinary cell,
and Immediately the acid is poured in
and the continuity established the cleo.
trio force begins 10 develop. Experl-
ments have recently been made by Mr..
=, H. Thompson, the well-known cleo
trical engineer, by which a twenty
candle light hns been kept continuous
ly going by the electric current being
generated in this way. and the eEperfs
ments have been pronounced a decided
success by all who have witnessed
them. BY this process no accumula-
tors are required. and the batteries can
be so made as to supply one or q hun
dred or moro lights, according to the
number required. The new light, which
is called the Acme, it is asserted will
be, admirably adapted for country resi-
dences, yachts, etc., and can, it is esti-
mated. be produced ut price about
the same as that of gas, with very su-
periOr Illuminating power, while the
original expense OF providing twenty
lamps of twenty candle power each Is
calculated at about ESQ.
