AN OFFENDING HOOD
CAUSES TROUBLE FOR A CLERGYMAN OF
THE ENGLISH CHURCH
Degree of the University of Maryland is
of Small Account With British Digni-
taries and Its Representative Hood is
Ruled Out of Order.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcH.l

LONDON, Dec. 27.-Percy P. Truman,
L. L. B., while attending church near Not
tingham, seems to have paid very little at
tention to the service. His eagle eve dis
covered that something was wrong with the
officiating wears hood and gown, and he
resolved to fathom the mystery. The hood
was black, lined with blue silk, being to all
appearance a Dublin Master of Arts hood.
But the wearer's name did not figure in
that Uniyersity's list of graduates. The
vicar was evidently fraud. and his Bishop
was advised of the fact bv the indignant
Truman. Further investigation followed,
and it was at length ascertained that the
offending hood was worn by virtue of an
honorary degree alleged to have been con-
ferred upon the vicar by the University of
Maryland.
The vicar has been inhibited from wear
ing it, but Mr.. Truman is not entirely
happy, because he fears there may be other
clergymen in the Church OF England whose
vanity may have led them into acts of SIM
liar "gross imposture" The Standard this
morning gives prominence to letter from
him, in which he sneers at the University
of Maryland as a modern creation, and sug-
gests that it designed its hood with DELHI
crate intention to enable its graduates to
parade themselves as Dublin graduates"
and finally asks: "Can anyone tell me
whether Maryland University exists and
has any reputation or status, and whether
its academical hood for master of arts, if
any, Is black and blue silk or what other
colors?"
The letter will probably be the commence
ment OF a furious controversy, English
clergymen being peculiarly sensitive upon
all matters connected with hoods and gown
and vestments generally. The Fifty-eighth
Canon OF the Church enacts that graduates
shall wear the hoods of their degrees, and
that any clergyman not being a graduate
shall not wear such on pain OF suspension.
1t is maintained that the canon refers to
English degrees, and that American de-
grees cannot be recognized here even if
properly conferred by reputable uniyersi-

Does Not Deter Conscientious
Lawyers From Undertake

OPINIONS OF LEADING MEN
Of the Allegheny County Bar Upon
a Legal-MOral Question.
THE ATTORNEY BECOMES A JUDGE
When He Decides Before Trial the Truth
of an Accusation.
TIE PROFESSION is misunderstood

"Why will lawyer undertake to defend
case in the courts when he is impressed
with the guilt OF his client?"
This question was asked six leading at
torneys Of the Allegheny county bar last
week by reporter o. THE DISPATCH.
While each Of the six lawyers caught the
idea conveyed, one and all said the query
would limit Its discussion to very narrow
boundaries ii considered just as it was
worded.
For" said one, "how do you know that
am ever impressed with the guilt of a
client?"
"Am to be judge and jury of my clients
case,' asked another, ''and decide him
guilty."
cor would it be right for me to with
draw from case because 1 felt nv client
was In the wrong?" inquired third.
1t was therefore permitted each gentle
man to consider the question in its widest,
possible sense, and to touch on all the prin-
ciple phases of the subject.

Eyraud and Gabrielle's Crime is Yet Being
Talked About in Paris.
iBY CABLE TO THE oIsPATCHi
PARIS, Dec. 27.-Paris is still discussing
the affaire Gouffe, although the trial and
sentence of De Labruyere for assisting
Padlewski to escape diverted public atten-
tion momentarily. Why an effort should
be seriously made to obtain commutation
of Eyraud's sentence, however, it is difficult
for anyone but Frenchmen to understand,
and it is difficult to realize how a jury
could find any mitigating of circumstances
in Gabrielle Bompard's connection with the
crime. If ever a more treacherous, cold
blooded and premeditated murder was
committed for more vulgar motive 1t is
not on the records; and yet, there are plenty
of people in Paris who feel that Evraud's
capital sentence and Gabrielle's 20-year
term is too harsh punishment.
The time is gone by for an appeal, how
ever, and Gabrielle has already begun her
20 years of penal servitude. She will be
about in her prime when her sentence ex-
pires, and will, doubtless, commit other
murders ii her life is spared. Eyraud is al
ready in the prison of LaRoquette, whence
he will be removed within % days to be
conducted to the guIllotine. The exact date
of the execution OF condemned murderers In
Paris is known only to the officers of the
prison, and Eyraud will be unaware what
day he will expiate his crime until the ex-
ecutioner bids him prepare for death.

Western farm lands, and one of the largest
wheat farms in the great Northwestern belt
is owned BY them. Its dimensions reach
into the thousands of acres.
Hon. Lewis Emery, of Bradford, who con-
fessed during the late campaign to being "a
fat goose" if everybody wished to pluck
him, made his money as an anti-Standard
man. and is credited with still making con-
siderable as the days roll by. If he doesn't
run against a snag, and he is something of
snag himself, he is likely to round up as
many of very large means.
A. the risk of offending David Kirk BY
CHASING him among rich men, will have
to quote friend of his in the Consolidated
Exchange, who SAYS he has "got more money
than hog drover" Ii Mr.. Kirk had
dollar that he thought came to him through
the Standard, he would throw it into the
river-with string to it.
OIL City Has 'Em Also.
Oil City has large number of rich men,
who made their money as Independent pro-
ducers Wesley Chambers sold small re-
tnerY to the Standard. but the money he
got for it is a mere bagatelle to what he
made before that and since that as an inde-
pendent producer. Mr.. Chambers need not
pay taxes on nv estimate, but
I should guess that he was worth
Sl,OOO,UUO. L. b. Simpson, of the
same town, is also rich man. Perhaps the
bulk of his fortune was made in the Ex-
change, from which he retired two years
ago. but he has also made great deal of
money as an oil producer, and he still has
large producing interests The same may
be said of the Fishers. How we'll Joe Craig
has got along as an independent oil oper-
ator the people of Pittsburg, and The DIS
PATCH'S constituents generally, need not be
told.
have mentioned few names that have
occurred to me as among oil men who have
got rich without having any connection with
the Standard. They comprise but few Of
many. The producers who are worth from
10000 to $3.50. 900 would constitute good
sized town OF themselves. So when people
outside of the oil country imagine that the
producers do not sequester few dollars as
they go along, they are the victims of de-
fective information. r. W. CRIswELL.

LONDON, Dec. 27.-President and Madame
Carnot's Christmas doings alone among
European rulers are worth recording. They
devoted the day to charity, distributing
from their own modest resources e, zoo m
small gifts to INDECENT and respectable
widows who have children to rear. Madame
Carnot has formed quite charity organiza-
ton, which is headed by friend, who, since
the war, has devoted his energies and time
to finding out deserving poor and helping
them to obtain work. He has had vast ex-
perience with the class who are habitual

When Mrs. Carnot receives any applica-
tion for assistance from some person she
does not know, she passes it on to this
friend, who ascertains the antecedents of the
writer and whether he or she deserves to be
assisted. She receives an incredibly great
number of begging letters, not one o: which
is neglected, though many, coming from
habitual beggars are not answered.

SCOTCH STRIKERS DEMAND.
Public Sympathy With Them In Their
Struggle For Ten Hours.


rBY DUNLAP's CABLE coAPANY.l
LONDON, Dec 27.-Traders have suffered
enoTmous loss and the community has been
put to immense inconvenience by the great
railroad strike in Scotland. But the men
are entitled to and have so far received
much public sympathy and support. This
is mainly due to the uDjustifable attitude
assumed by the railroad directors, who,
accustomed to rule their men like autocrats
turRsd--R deaf - ears--ali4Fes- 70 the
respectful petitions of the workmen and
the warnings and remonstrances of the press,
They complain now that the men struck
without legal notice at the busiest season of
the year. But it has been matter of COM
mon knowledge that the strike would COM
mence just when it did. They now furious
ly denounce trade unionism and insist that
a mild desrotism is the only system upon
which railway servants can be governed
They decline absolutely to recognize the
union leaders.
The mems demand is practically for ten
hour day, and it will have to be conceded ii
the struggle is much further prolonged.
The friends of the men propose to appeal to
the public for monetary help which, it is
believed, will be given generously.

LONDON, Dec. 27.-The result of the
North Kilkenny election is not considered
altogether satisfactory by the anti ParnelI-
ties, although they are loudly making be-
lieve to be delighted with it. AS matter
of fact they expected to beat Parnell bv
three to one, and their failure to do so will
make them chary of forcing fight in their

will be the sufferer.
Few Irishmen hope for much from the in
terview which is to take place next week iu
Paris between Parnell and O'Brien. The
former is in furious earnest, and, according
to the testimony of his closest associates, he
will enter the conference room with the in
tentiou Of converting O'Brien to his views.
and, failing that, of deriving him. Contrary
to general expectation, O'BrIen has returned
to Europe generally improved in bodily
health and fully confident of his ability to
bring the home rule cause safely through
