law allows He defended the criminals who IN
trusted their interests to him with more skill and
care than many regularly admitted lawyers The
fact that he appeared for several years before the
| courts of this State including the Court OF Ap-
peals. shows that there is a lax supervision OF
! the standing of those who act as lawyers. The

In what are known as the "good old days"
pastorates of half century or more were no
extraordinary thing. Now one extending over
half that time is a marked exception to the
general rule. So when minister has had a
settlement" Of forty-fve years, as has been the
case with the Rev. Amasa g. Freeman of the
Central Presbyterian Church in Haverstraw, the

there has been an Improvement upon. or at least
a modification of, this idea. On Sunday, when
things grew decidedly disorderly and the pre-
siding officer had exhausted his resources in the
attempt to restore order, he put on his hat and
walked out. The paragraph containing the ac-

The Shipping Federation, which is composed of |
all the great shipowners of Great Britain, and |
which organized for the purpose of restraining
the despotism of the labor unions, has just in
augurated a great scheme Of insurance which can
not fail to establish more friendly relations
between masters and men, The outlines of the
scheme are as follows Every seaman or
fireman who takes out Federation ticket will
he enutled free Of all cost to insurance of S?5
in case he should be killed or lost at while
serving Federation ship. The only cost
charged to the men will be registration fee OF
25 cents. In the of the captains and officers
