have been retained and have grown into
millions The late David Davis died q

came from some lands about Chicago
which he was given for legal services
when he was q young man. and when
the lands were supposed TO be worth
practically nothing. He held 10 them,
and the city grew and the lands grew
with il, until they brought him in hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars instead OF
a few hundred dollars. 1t Is SO with
many of the cases that come before
many Of the Washington courts and be-
fore the departments. Patent lawyers
accept sometimes interests In the patents
they secure, and one of the rich men of
Washington is a patent lawyer named
Anthony Puliock, who manages the Good

that come before Congress amount to
millions of dollars. and when a lobby
lawyer gets one through, on the con-
dition that he is to receive one-half or
one-third, he makes big strike or
nothing. - Chicago Post.

TURBULENT SALVADOR.
Death of President Menendez and As
saSsinatiOn of Several Officers.


saSSinatiOn of Several Officers
President Menendez, of San Salvador. died
suddenly, soon after the conclusion of a ban
quet given on the occasion of the fifth ami
versary Of the entrance of General Menendez
into San Salvador and the defeat of the
Ialdivar faction. During the panic caused
by the Presidents death General Marcial and
several other officers were killed at the bar
racks. General Carlos Ezeta, the leader of
the forces, is now in command. All is quiet
at present.
General Francisco Menendez was elected
Provisional President of San Salvador in
1885 after having defeated General Figu-
eroa, and spoiled the schemes of Generals
Barrios and Zaldivar for organizing a Cen
trail American Union, to which San Salvador
was bitterly opposed. General Menendez
was reelected President in 1887, and his term
would have expired in 1891.
He has been accused of tyranny in forcing
into the military service the sons of some OF
the best Salvadorean families and in inn
prisoning them and even causing them to be
hOgged when they resisted.
