LAWYERS, CONVENTION.
Interesting Session of the National
Rar AssOCintiOn.

CHICAGO, August 29.-The National
Bar Association met again this morning,
and listened to a paper by Prof. s. E.
Baldwin, of Yale, on the Centenary of
Modern Government" This was fol-
lowed by committee reports and mis-.
cellaneous business.
Mr.. Smith, of Pennsylvania, intro
duced resolution to the effect that the
association favor the establishment
OF an intermediate Supreme Court. Mr..
Wilson, of Minnesota, said there was ne
necessity for such an intermediate court,
and that the evil at present lay in too
great power possessed by soulless corpor--
ations in appealing cases to the Federal
Court, the object of which, the speaker
said, was to wear out the other litigants.
Our State courts should have more
power, and the Federal courts shorld be
restricted in their jurisdiction.
Hon. Lyman Tsumbull, OF Illinois.
supported the remarks of Wilson, and
urged that return to the law Of 1889
which restricted the jurisdiction OF the
| Federal courts to single States, be made.
The matter was warmly discussed and
finally postponed until the evening
session.
The matter was not further discussed
this evening. AT a meeting Of the Grand
Council of the association tonight,
William P. Wells, of Michigan, was
elected President for the ensuing year.
Mr.. Wells is Judge Cooley's successor as
lecturer on constitutional law at Ann
Arbor University.
This afternoon the members went on
an excursion to Pullman.
Mr.. Wells was elected President of the
Grand Council. Only tonight the Coun.
Gil decided to name Henry Hitchcock,
st. Louis, as their choice for the Presi
dency of the Bar Association. Judge

Miss RiIla Rounds Quisenberry
From the Trinidad, Colo. News.

FROM tHe lFilliudu, ooio., news.
Two years ago at the age of
seventeen years, after a thorough
collegiate course in this city, Miss
Rilla Rounds Quisenberry,
daughter of C. T. Quisenberry,
formerly of Mexico, Mo-, left to
attend the School of Elocution and
English Literature at Detroit,
Michigan. The professor in
Trinidad under whom this young
lady studied, recognized in her a
wonderful talent for elocution, and
advised Mr.. Quisenberry to send her
to Detroit. There are about three
hundred lady students at this
school from all parts of the Union
and from London, and out of that
number, it has been learned, that
at the commencement exercises
last Monday, there were only ten
who were graduates, and of the
ten, Miss Quisenberry, the young
est of the class, won the handsome
gold medal. This is the prize
awarded to the one who has made
the greatest proficiency and at
tanned the highest standing in the
class.
Now that she has graduated she
will make the practice of elocution
a profession. She will at present

"Dod Made You Wun."

LuSSiC iClu III tilt SIlCdSU 4NtN5.
II have a brother living out in
Kansas City," said Mr.. Sol. Smith
Russell yesterday. ellis children
are great favorites of mine and I
humor them to the best ofmy abil-
ity of course. These children have
been taught to repose absolute faith
in the efficacy ofprayer, and when
ever they want anything they ask
for it in their prayers, and in due
time the coveted article arrives.
Well, one wretchedly cold day last
winter l was in Kansas City, trudg-
ing along Main street with my lit
tie niece, and she importuned me
to buy her a box of candy and l got
her the pound of sweetmeats. AS
we proceeded on our way 1 noticed
that she kept her eyes glued long
ingly upon the box of candy which
I carried under one arm. Present
ly she suggested in a naive and in
|genious tone that she would run,
she called it "wun." Of course /
detected in this suggestion an artful
ruse to reach home quickly in order
to dispatch the candy, and, unwill-
ing to sacrifice my personal COM
fort as we'll as my personal dignity
to the lusts of that child's stomach,
I replied: 'Oh, no; it is better that
we should walk
"'But,' urged the child, 1T is SO
told that it will do us dood to wun!'
All at once agleam of relief came
over the child's depressed features.
Stopping short in our walk she put
two little hands up over her eyes
and said in a reverential tone:
please, Lord Jesus, O''please make
Uncle Sol wun!'
sit was not the Lord alone who
heard that innocent prayer. What
was l to do? But one thing, and
that was to preserve that child's
faith as best 1 could. The Lore
answered that prayer instantly, fol
he put it into my heart to run. Ano
run I did-never ran faster Or easier
IN my life. Taking the child by
the hand | started off like the wind
and through the crowd, up the hill
and over the icy pathway we spec
swiftly and securely. People mus
have wondered what allied tina
funny man with the child:' but
didn't care.
"'You couldn't hep yourself
could you, Uncle Sol?" asked m,
niece, as she sat in the big arm
chair at home feasting upon cara
mels. bod made you wun, didn'
hep

THE GLORIOUS r
Another Rousing Arrangement
Meeting at the Court House
The Programme.

There was another rousing
Fourth ofJuly meeting at the Court
House Friday. If these ar
rangement meetings form an index
of what the great celebration in
view is to be, the blowout on the
fourth will certainly be a success.
The various committees, a list of
which has appeared in the LEDGER,
were called up for reports, but only
one-the committee on subscrip-
tions-had made sufficient pro-
gress to report. This was owing
to the fact that the committees
had had scarcely time, since their
appointment, to organize. Two
hundred dollars toward defraylng
the expenses of the celebration
We're reported raised.
Upon the motion of Mr.. Ferris,
the programme drafted by Secre-
tary D. Z. Shea, with amendments,
was adopted. The programme, in
Guiding the order of march, is as
follows:
National Salute,
Grand Parade and Review,
Mounted Guard,
Governor Francis and Staff,
Mayor and City Council,
Military Band,
Uniformed Military Companies,
Organized Societies in Uniform or
Regalia,
Brass Band,
Citizens on Foot,
Float drawn by six gray horses,
Goddess of Liberty, with ladies
representing each State,
Mexico Fire Department,
Cavalry Brigade.
The parade will be reviewed at
the grand stand by Governor Fran
els, ex-Gov. Hardin, Mayor J. C.
Bassford.
Speaking at the Grounds,
Grand Illumination at Night.
The Coons Park, in the northern
part of the city, will likely be
chosen as the grounds on which
the celebration viii take place.
Messrs. D. E. Shea, J. E. Moore
and J. A. Snider were appointed
as the committee on amusements.
The meeting adjourned until next
Friday evening.

Talmage as a Baujoist.
From the New York Sun

Brooklyn's reporters swear by the
Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, because
he is always ready to smooth their
ways for them. Not long since
one of the craft called on the doctor
on a matter of news, and as the re-
porter waited in the hall the dulcet
twang of a distant banjo smete up
on his ear. He listened well pleased
for the instrument was apparently
handled by one to the manner born.
A moment later, however, a door
to the right opened, and Talmage
himself appeared on the threshold
with a banjo under his arm.
"Come in, come in" cried the
preacher, heartily; "of course I'll
see you. I was just playing my
banjo. Sit down and let me play
you something" And he took the
protane instrument over his kne.
and played a show piece for thu
reporters benefit in a way thai
would have made Ruby Brook
himself look to his laurels.
