New YORK, Oct. 10.-R. G.. Dunn
g. Cos weekly review of trade says:
From all parts of the west and south
come advices that business is gradually
improving, and the improvement is felt
at eastern centers. The news regarding
tie chief industries is decidedly favor
able. Cotton has made satisfactory pro-
gress, the receipts have greatly increased,
and the prospect as to the yield is better
than week ago. The iron industry is
more firm in tone, and, in spite Of the
comparatively small consumption in
rail making an output scarcely ever ex-
ceeded seems to be met by the consump-
tion. The mills manufacturing bar iron,
plate and structural iron are moderately
employed, and a slight advance appears
here for some forms Of manufactured
iron, But rails are very quiet. In copper
there is uncertainty, tin is dull, and
lead in moderate demand. The market
for wool is quiet at Boston aud else
where, but sales are not small and re-
ceipts at the west greatly exceed last
year WorSted mills are running at full
capacity.
Cheering. Reports in All Sections.
Boston reports good business, ample
supplies of money, and more inquiry FOR
boots and shoes, with leather selling
quite freely at fuh prices. At Phiia-
dGlphia hardware is fairly active and
more inquiry is seen for iron; wool is
firm with less pressure to sell, and
boots and shoes are selling more freely,
with fair trade in hides and leather. At
Cincinnati and Cleveland fair activity
Is noted, and at Chicago trade thus far
exceeds that of all previous years, sales
OF clothing and shoes being large, but of
dry goods a little less than year ago
The weeks receipts of wheat are four
times last years. of rye ten times and
OF wool double, with increase in dressed
beef and hides, but decrease in other
articles. Trade is improving at Omaha,
minneapolis Breaks the Record.
AT Minneapolis lumber advances with
unprecedented sales, and -four mills are
fully employed, the output during the
week being the highest on record. At
st. Louis the demand for money shows
strong trade in most lines. At Kansas
City and Denver better weather gives
steady improvement. AT the south the
improvement is also general, and heavy
receipts of cotton are noted at Sayan-
nah, Charleston, Galveston and New
Orleans. The pause in stock spacula-
tion hinders the placing of securities for
railroad extensions and improvements.
On the whole, the outlook for industrial
progress is decidedly satisfactory.
Business Failures.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number for the United
States 240, and for Canada 30, or a total
of 270, as compared with II total of $50 for
last week, and 24i tho week previous to
the last For the corresponding week
of last year the figures We're 2lj. repre-
senting 1856 failures in the United States
and 20 i'll the Dominion Of Canada.

TOT beggarIy salary when his aosn'y An"
his accomplishments as Judge are to
called. He received only 81, 900 a year, ana
as time was running along he felt that
such sum did not pay him adequately ana
that it was necessity to earn more money.
He seemed timid about his ability to DO
better in general practice. and SO dld not
return to it until he was offered the post
of lecturer in the Columbia law school, OF
New York city. at salary of $4,000.
He accepted the proposition, and with
this certainty felt that he could open law

urer at the law school, He possesses a
ronderful capacity and a patience almost
infinite in the work which he has to do,
much of which is dry, technical and subtle
10 the highest degree. Like Mr.. Carter,
though his fame is SO superbly established,
his face and his name are but little known
to the great majority of people.
Joseph H. Choate ranks all the advo-
Gates at the New York bar. He is not so
eccentric, not so dazzling, brilliant and
peculiar, not so fiery and meteoric in his
methods before a jury as was his distin-
guished relative, Rufus Choate. He is
self controlling, moderate, suave, seeming
" gentle, always genial, the master OF ms
case, the possessor of an exquisite rhetoric
and Evolutionary charm. His dictfon is
almost as picturesque as that which char
acterized his uncle.
Mr.. Choate is now about fifty-five years
of age. and is member of the law firm OF
which Senator Evarts is the head. His
practice is diversified and enormous He
is one of the few men who is followed into
court room by throng that they may
listen to his eloquence. Like all great law
yers his capacity for work is astounding,
and like most of them he has found his
recreation more in his law books than 10
the delights of society.

How to Detect Counterfeits.

In examining the most skillfully made
counterfeit notes there is but one defect
found in them, and that is in their size.
Counterfeit bills are necessarily little
smaller than the genuine. Government
plates. which it is impossible to steal, are
somewhat larger than the bills made there
from, on account of allowing for the
shrinkage of the paper. In making coun-
terfeit money new note is pasted on a
polished steel plate, and transfer paper is
placed over it. The work is then traced
with fine pencil, and afterward marked
through on the steel plate with sharp en-
graver. The plate thus made is of course
just the size of the note, and the bills
made from it, when dampened, shrink,
making them somewhat smaller than gen.
uine currency-New York Ledger.

In private life Mr.. Carter is of a retiring

Soon after the publication of this state
ment Miss Smith is reported to have told
London interviewer that she never entered
into common law marriage with Mr..
French, and that although she had been en-
gagged to him, that engagement was ter
minated without any lapse of decorur~ on
her part. To this sweeping denial Mr..
French responded by publishing several
letters which he claimed to have received
from Miss Smith. One of them contains
this sentence: II shall be your own loving
wife, Harry; don't worry for nae, for,
dearest, my love is fixed on an everlasting

In his written answer to the charges

he had committed an error, adding, Il

MISS LAURA Fits.

When Laura Fits, of St. Louis, left
home one morning recently she was appar-
emily gay and happy girl, across whose
sunshine path care had cast no shadow.
She told her mother that she was going to
party given by lady prominent in the
councils of the Knights and Ladies of
Honor, society to which Miss Fits be-
longed. She came home at noon the next
day in carriage, and accompanied by a
woman whom she introduced to her teDaily
as Mrs. Jennings.
She explained that during the festivities
of the previous evening she had become
suddenly i'll, and that to Mrs. Jennings she
was under obligation for kindly care and
nursing. After receiving the thanks of
Miss Fits family the woman departed.
and Laura took to her bed. Before her
death, which occurred within the next
twenty-four hours, a physician who was
called ascertained that the girl had been
subjected to an unlawful surgical opera
ton. Subsequent inquiry by the police
revealed that the SO called Mrs. Jennings
was Mrs. Louisa Hotson, a female physi-
clan. AS result of the invest cation Mrs.
Hotson and a married man named Dash
man, with whom Miss Fits was well ac-
quainted, have been placed under arrest on
the charge of manslaughter.

The New York bar contains some men
Of extraordinary ability, and as whole 1t
q ppobablv the finest bar where the En-
giish speaking tongue is the medium for
litigation. It is hard to say who is the
ablest Practice at the bar in New York,
Exc business in every direction OF energy,
has developed specialists. Some lawyers
devote their time entirely to probate affairs;
Others to the trial of patent causes; others
exclusively to commercial business; while
some never go to the courts, but are called
upon to furnish opinions for which they
receive great fees. In each of these depart
pents there are lawyers pre-eminent.
However, there are mum Der or men
who are, by general agreement, placed IN
the front rank, and after somewhat ex-
tended inquiry it has been found that the
majority of members Of the bar whose
opinion is of any value regard the follow
ing as the first six of New York lawyers.
These are James c.. Carter, John f. Dillon,
Joseph H. Choate, Frederick X. Coudert,
John E. Parsons and Wheeler II. Peckham.
Upon the first four unanimity of opinion
is found to exist; and while such unan-
unity does not appear respecting the places
assigned to John E. Parsons and Wheeler
II. Peckham, yet most lawyers think that,
taken all in all, they are also to be aSsocI-
ated with the four first mentioned.

Joseph Il. CfOATE.

A1r. James c. Carter leads by universal
consent In some respects he stands where
Charles O'Conor stood when IN his prime.
Mr. Carter, while enjoying this repute for
d, a number of wears, has found his fame only
recently extending from his professional
brethren to the country at large. He has
been less known than many lawyers not so
able as he, because he has not appeared
prominently in sensational or dramatic
litigations He is counselor rather than
an advocate. And so sound and accurate
are bis opinions that in all the great cases
of recent years they have been sought by
one side or the other. If Mr.. Carter adj
vises certain line, certain method Of
attack. certain plan of defense, his adj
vice is considered final, and his opinion
upon the law in any case is regarded as
next to a formal decision by the highest
court. Therefore his power is very great.
Enormous proposed htigations are begun
or are abandoned on his Judgment.
Charles O'Conor was the first to discover
Mr.. Carriers ability. This was many years
ago, and Mr. OConor associated Mr. Car
ter with him as junior counsel in the Jumel
will case-one Of the most important Eti-
cations which ever occurred in America.
From that day to this Mr.. Carter has stead
lily developed He looks upon the law as
an exact science. He regards it as the
noblest of all professions, because its true
foundation is justice. That is the theme
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1891-03-05

speaks that language and Spanish with the
same elegance of diction that he uses En-
glish. In the department Of international
law he stands first among the lawyers of
America, and foreign governments have
SO recognized his abilities that he has long
been the counsel of France and other Eu-
ropean states in America.
Mr.. Coudert, while not ranking quite the
equal of Mr.. Choate as an advocate, Is still
esteemed not far behind that eminent pro-
fessional brother. He is distinguished
both in and out of his profession for po-
liteness If he has temper he is its abso-
lutte master, and while IN important cases,
when his feelings arc aroused, he can show
indignation, which is splendid to witness
and to hear in his oratory, yet it is an in
dignation always vented upon a wrong
and never upon a person Mr. Coudert is
eminently social in his private life He
has fine residence in New York in the
winter, and very beautiful estate in New
Jersey, where he lives during the summer.
John E. Parsons is a New Yorker by
birth and training, Presbyterian of great
influence, and rs a lawyer is believed to
have the finest practice in the English
speaking world He probably received the
largest fee ever taken by a lawyer, for he
was paid, according TO common report,
500, 900 for organizing the famous sugar
trust, and is the general counsel of that
mammoth business interest. Mr.. Parsons
is a man of snave habits, polished manners,
of mighty industry and vast income. He
is now about sixty years of age, although
he seems TO be at least ten years younger.
Wheeler IL. Peckham comes of a family
of lawyers. His father was for many years
judge of the court of appeals, and was lost
at sea while stih a member of the bench by
the sinking of the Vile de Paris. His
brother Rufus succeeded the father ON the
court of appeals bench Wheeler H. Peck
ham, until recently, devoted himself en-
tirely to his practice, which is general and
great. But last fall he was made the
chairman of an independent organization
OF citizens, designed to secure reform in
municipal administration. The effort was
not success. but Mr.. Peckham is stall at
the head of the organisation. He is about
s. years of age, is social, and numbers,
perhaps, larger list of personal friends
than any of the others l. j. EDWARDS
