Stories for LAWYERS,

Occasionally lawyers get together and
swap stories about the funny things
they have heard in and around the
Court House. A Republic reporter
was in the ear-shot of several eminent
barristers, and heard two anecdotes re-
lated that are worth repeating.
When Judge Rombauer was on the
bench he one day made ruling against
a young attorney, whose superhuity of
diplomas was only equalled by his scant
knowledge of the law. Much disguised,
the lawyer said:
Il don't know where your Honor goes
to find such law as that"
When rufied. Judge Rombauer speaks
with strong Bohemian accent, and he
replied in very emphatic language:
Il am not surprised, Mr., Eat you
know not where I go to find re law, for
I find it in re books"
The second incident was that wherein
Judge had overruled a motion of Coun-
sellor Garvey, one of the best known
lawyers at the st. Louis bar. The
counsellor is usually most respectful to
the court, but he lost his temper this
time, and declared in his broad though
rich and cultured Irish brogue:
Your Honor, hope for your Honor's
honor that it will never be noised abroad
to your Honor's hurt that this honorable
court ever made aruling so dishonorable
to its own honor"

struck against some large buildings
just above Us. The tremendous mass
seemed for an infnitesimal part of a
second stationary, and a deIuge OF
water rushing through struck us.
Barry had clasped me In his arms, and
the wave seemed to lift us above the
very house tops. Breathless and hall
stunned we were swept along, to be
presently dashed to one side like a
discarded toy.
When we recovered sufficiently to
look about US, the awful work was
done. Of that prosperous city there
seemed scarcely building remaining,
and the turbulent, rioting water rolled
through the erstwhile lovely valley.
Sick at heart, we turned away. OF
the terrible, heart-rending scenes
we witnessed in leaving the place,
why should I write? Much has already
been written, but not half will ever be
told. I saw mothers who mourned
their children, husbands their wives,
and children who wept for both father
and mother.
When we at last left the valley we
carried with us a wee orphan babe, who
had strangely escaped while the rest Of
a large family had been swept away.
The careful, tender rearing of this tiny
waif shah be our thank offering for our
own extraordinary escape in that time Of
peril.

A Photograph Orchestra.

The reporter was ushered into tn
handsome dining-room of Henry G.
Bishop, where the instrument Gan Edi-
son photography and all its appliances
were stationed. Mr.. Bishop, with the
skill of a person who had handled q
photograph for years, adjusted the in
strument and turned on the battery.
The various choice melodies which
poured forth from the cone-shaped
transmitter sounded very natural.
Among the many selections were sew
eral pieces played by the Seventh Reg
iment Band, of New York, about four
years ago; banjo solo, by son of the
Mayor of Newburyport, Mass, played
about year ago; cornet solo; several
selections by male quartet, and many
other musical gems, most of which
were played at Edison's laboratory over
year ago.
Mr.. Bishop has so arranged his pho
nograph by the appliance of the cone
Snapped transmitter, that whenever he
starts it going the sound can be dis
tinctly heard throughout the whole
house. Mr., Bishop has also recorded
the remarks of several prominent men
of this city who have talked into the
instrument. 1t is very amusing to lis
ten with what accuracy they have been
taken and are reproduced. He in
tends to have the Concordia Singing
Society and Jerome Mays Banjo Quar-
tet give several selections at his home
for the purpose of recording them. Mr..
Bishop, it is understood, is the possess
or of the only photograph of this kind
in the city. why" said he, with
this little machine can sit down to my
breakfast and listen to the concert of
the Seventh Regiment Band, played
several years ago, and enjoy it as much
as if 1 had actually heard the band it
self" He is undoubtedly right. The
working of this machine is something
wonderful -Bridge Conn., Ne,Us.

Phases OF the DecOIIete.

Women who wear decollete gowns
comprise three classes, but one OF
which is justified, and wears it with
propriety. The woman "to the manner
born" educated to it, taught the pro-
priety of such exposure along with her
ca.echism, wears this dress as soldier
does his uniform, as matter of form,
of duty, of necessity, and of habit.
Such women wear this exposeful gar
ment with no more notion of indelicacy
than is entertained by the dusky belle
of the Sandwich Islands when she
makes her debut in a string of beads, a
cotton apron and clinking anklets.
The second class, not so well war
ranted in following the fashion, are the
women not educated to it, ladies whose
early life and training were not in de-
collete circles, but who instead have
imbibed much of the stern puritanism,
or prudishness or provincialism, if you
will, of orthodox teaching, of modest
example, and Of rural simplicity.
The woman, whose sudden rise of
position tempts her into an unaccus-
toned barring of neck and arms against
her conscience commits an improperly.
The third class are the vain women,
the silly and coquettish women, the
women who have perfect figures and
malformed intellects. These are the
women who have in the eagerness for
admiration disgraced the social regais
and made it a reproach.
The important thing is not how the
body, but how the mind is clothed.
When a high-cut mind goes out in COM
pany with a low-cut dress the world
does not concern itself with the robe.
But decollete spirit; will permeate an
though the neckband tickles
its ears and its wrist friTls mask the
hand. Washington Post.

One Whom Santa CLAUS Neglected.

It is to be hoped that most people
were not so disappointed in their
Christmas gifts as was small damsel
at the South End, who is reported to
have examined her numerous gifts on
Christmas morning, and then to have
asked gravely:
Mamma, will Santa Claus come
back again tonight"
why, no, I suppose not" her
mother answered. lie only comes
once.
well, then" the child said, Il shall
have to write him letter"
She is only beginning to write, and
that with so much distaste for the &C.
complishment that nobody supposed
that she had any intention of really
carrying out this plan; but she retired
to some secluded spot, where, in the
course of an hour, she produced the fol-
lowing touching epistle:
%Santyclws you may have all things
you brot rote you wanted a doll to
talk you diddnyt bring it think you
are meme"
How the little one was comforted is
not recorded, but her faith in Santa
Claus will never be the same again.

TOBACCO TAX.
other Things That Mr.. Gest Has to
Answer For.
what the Cigar Makers Are Thinking
About and What They sh ouId Do-A
New York Importer on the Whole
Business.

A short time ago at meeting Of the
cigar makers in Canton, this state, resolu-
tions were passed denoanciug the pas
sage OF the schedule in the Mckinley bill
relating to cigars, and refusing to sup
port any candidate who would not pledge
himself to vote for its repeal What they
| should do is to vote again st every man
who gave his support to the me asure, and
| never mind his promises IS to what he
will do in the future. Look to what he
has done in the past. In Canton there
are % 100000 cigars made each year.
Post is in that district. He voted for the
schedule as did Gest in this. The Mon
mouth Democrat says:
Gest is in the same boat with Post in
this matter, neither of them had the nerve
to vote against this init lice to large
number of their constituents. Monmouth
cigar makers number more than 100 and
they will doubtless remember Gest's
cowardice by casting their votes against
him. This is the only way we know of
expressing their views in regard to the
Mckinley bill.
The old rate of tax on leaf for cigar
wrappers not stemmed. was rs: the new
rate is So; for stemmed, oil rate, 81; new
rate, $2.75; cigars. cigarettes and cher.
cots. old rate, 50 so; new rate, 81 80, and
25 per cent.
Mr.. Joseph Park, membe of the we'll
known New York importing and mercan-
tile firm of Park & Tilford, saws:
The most marked charge in our trade
will be in cigars. We deal exclusively in
| imported cigars. and coDse aueu,Iy our en-
tire list is affected The present tariff is
81 so a pound and % per cent ad valorem
on cigars. and the new Tariff vii raise
the specific duty to $3.50 a pound, leav-
! ing the ad vslorem duty unchanged. The
average weight of imported cigars is
about eleven and half pounds thous-
and. and the increase of duty will conse.
| quently amount to about S23 thousand,
| or 81 80 hundred.
Naturally it will to some extent curtail
the sale of i'm ported cigars. 1t may also
serve to increase the cost to the consumer
of domestic cigars, as hey West cigars
especially are like ly to follow the import
| ed grades in their inevitable advance
| There is to he an increase in the duty on
imported tobacco also and q large share
of the better brands of domestic manu-
featured cigars are made in whole or in
! port of imported stock.
The actual result to the smokers of
| good cigars will be an advance of from
two and half to three cents on each CT
gar. and to heavy smokers this means a
| considerable sum annually.
! One result of the increased tariff will
undoubtedly be To invite competition for
our domestic manufacturers. 1t is al
ready announced that some of the Hsvan-
ma manufacturers are preparing to move
their establishments to Key West.
