The Collection of a Note from a Delin-
quent Who Was a Lawyer

The Collection of a Note from a Delin-
quent Who Was a Lawyer.
From the Albany tGa.) Neos aud Advertiser
1t is generally conceded that the laws
delay, which is always vexation, can be
prolonged to an exasperating length by a
shrewd lawyer. In fact, a lawyer, when he
belongs to the debtor class, If he is disposed,
can harrass the most wary in the collection
of a claim against himself. But it remained
for an Albany warehouse firm to bring to
quick terms delinquent debtor who adorns
the learned profession of law The names
and date will not be given, but the incident
did not occur ten years back.
An Albany warehouse firm which deals
in guano, sold ton of the fertilizer to a
lawyer farmer. The note was not met at
maturity, but explanation and promises in
duced the firm to carry it for short time
The days of grace having expired a second
time, demand for payment was again made
without success, but, again promises served
to suspend a legal process
Month after month passed without the
note being settled, until it was finally
agreed by the firm that its collection must
be pressed. A letter was accordingly writ
ten to Lawyer Snap, in which the note on
Farmer Snap was enclosed for collection.
The purpOrt Oh Uhe leUter was GhaU uhe Iloto
was due and unpaid and that Farmer Snap
had repeatedly promised to liquidate, but
had as often failed to keep his promise; that
Farmer Snap was good for the debt, and
that Lawyer Snap must press its collection.
The reception of such a letter, with posi-
tive instructions to sue himself if the note
was not paid, staggered the astute lawyer,
and he expressed in an adroit letter his won
dernent and evaporation. To this reply
was promptly returned urging the suit of
the note without further delay, with the
assurance that they knew he was a good
collector from past business connections.
Lawyer Snap had been the attorney-of the
firm for some time and he hit upon his plan
of procedure; he charged his 10 per cent
for collection fee and RENTED the balance,
using the usual form of statement in max
ing such remittanceS.

IHE LATE REV. EDW In 1IO4uI DOAN'
Edwin Thompson, an active anti-slavery
agitator of years past, and Woodworking
temperance reformer of recent years, died
at East Walpole, Mass, May % He was
of Quaker descent, and was born in Lynn,
Mass. in July, 1909.
Early in life he became interested
in the anti-slavery crusade, and threw
himself heartily into the cause. AS he was
a fluent and interesting speaker, he was
soon greatly sought after. He was elected
Corresponding Secretary of the Young
Mems Ant-Slavery Society Of Lynn, before
which organization Wendell Phillips deliv-
cred his first address after the one given
in Faneuil Hall, Boston, following
suggested TO Mr.. Thompson that
he also take up the good work and
the young man willingly followed his ad
vice, He travelled through Essex, Bristol
and Plymouth countless often times on foot,
to save expense, speaking in churches and
school houses without receiving SO much
even as a public contribution for his SER
vices. He was member of the Massachu-
sets anti-Slavery Society as well as the
local organization, and assisted In organ
iZing the Essex county branch. 1t was
while speaking in New Bedford that Mr..
Thomson had Fred Douglass for an auditor,
u.
the manhood Of that noted colored man,
and gave him an incentive to work for his
race In 1910 Mr.. Thompson was dele
gate to the convention in New York which
decided that women had an equal right
with men to speak or to vote in the anti
slavery meetings.
Though Mr.. Thompson differed from Car
rison in political associations, he was
always in sympathy with his philanthropic
work. He, himself, with hts customary
liberality Of time and money, Travelled and
spoke without pay for the party with which
he was associated-frst the Liberal party
and then the Republican party.
Mr.. Thompson's connection with the tenn
perance movement began early. He was a
member of the convention which formed
the first temperance society in Essex county,
and he was also interested in the first total
abstinence movement in the State-the
Massachusetts, Temperance Union.
In 1898 Mr.. Thompson united with the
First Universalist Society of Lynn. He
soon began to speak and to preach when
opportunity offered, and in 1910 he was
ordained at South Dedham, now Norwood.
The next year he removed to East WalpOle,
where he continued to reside until his
death He was married three times, aud
has one son.
Mr.. Thompson's 18th birthday was com
memoratsd in New York last July by a
number Of eminent mon. John @. Whittier,
who could not be present, sent kind letter,
inclosing a contribution to the fund then
raised for Mr.. Thompson.

THE BERLIN WEDDING
r-ans. the Bride of Peace, Married to
Prussia's Sailor Prince.

- Prussia's Sailor Prince.
our dispatches yesterday contained an

s1.;noass Irene. the third daughter of the
f+rand Duke Louis, OF Hesse, ana tne late
9L;ncess Alice, of England, daughter of
Ian Victoria and sister Of the German
Sanrass Their betrothal was formally
Elnfp,nced in Berlin on March %, 1887, on
g. OCCASION of the Goth birthday of the late
1 u William. The marriage was to
FL taken place in the latter part of Feb
H-larv but the death of the Emperor caused
il a Though the present EN-
P US was anxious to have the wedding take
IpIace at an early date, 1t looked for long
lpa,a as if the illness Of the Emperor would
saiav the marriage to an indefinite period.
NJ Empress, however, like her mother,
6nsnn Victoria, is not friend of delayed
NJ Unions, and the Emperor Frederick was
InaueIIv anxious to see his son married and
oq.+iad before he himself should be called

tbonght to have only few weeks at the
f,rt6est to live, he is said to have expressed

COURT CELEBRATION.
The change for the BETTER says the Phlla-
dsIph1a Times, that has recently taken
Mace in the Emperor's condition had the
Eject of the Emperor taking a strong per-
s1nsI interest in the preparations for the
Wedding, which, instead of being semi
nrvate. as was at one time intended, was
Celebrated with great ceremonies. Whether
the Emperor is on the way to complete re-
covnry is of course, a matter on which
nothing certain can be said at the present
1noment. He was, however, strong
enough to be present at the ceremony, which
took place at Charlottenburg, where special
accommodations had been prepared for him
and the Dowager Empress Augusta, who
was transported from her palace to her car
rage and from her carriage to the chapel
on a litter couch.

The bridegroom, Prince Heinrich, or
Heinrich the Navigator, as the Germans
love to style him, was born on Aug. IA,
1862. He is the sailor Prince of the Hohen-
zoIlern family, and, like most sailor princes,
is extremely popular. He iscorvet captain,
major la suite Of the First regiment of the
Gardes, and is looked upon as the future
Admiral of the German navy. He has
ALWAYS been looked upon as the most tai
ented member of the Hohenzollern family,
d in years past, when the present
Crown Prince William was passing
through his wSrst years Of escapades, and
before he had provided so richly for the
sponsorship, many people in Germany en-
tertained the hope that the sailor prince
might by some chance eventually become
tae heir to the royal and imperial THRONE.
The Prince had always been his fathers
tavorito son, and he has won general ad-
miration of late for the affectionate man
her IN which he has kept by the Emperor
during his sufferings at San Reno and later
at Berlin. He is totally unlike his elder
brother, and though a little smaller in
stature, has very agreeable face, and his
ways are very frank and cordial. He has
already seen good deal of the world, hav-
ing made two voyages round the world in
sae course Of his naval training.

From there it was forwarded to the Dead

sent. The envelope was almost completely
covered with post marks in variety OF
