CLEVELAND AS A LAWYER.
Hasn't Enough Business to Necessitate the
Use of a Stenosrapher.

Use of a Stenosrapher.

In many respects the position of Cleve-
land and Conkling before the bar and COM
munity of New York, ives singularly
coincident, but results have been
different. Conkling's success at the bar
was so phenomenal that that it will be sure
to become one of the most attractive tradi-
tions of his profession. In years he had
paid off obligations of nearly 800, 900, had
earned fees which for one year amounted to
nearly 5000, 900, and which at his death had
accumulated property for him of nearly
$500, 900.
Cleveland, on the other hand, has had no
phenomenal success. He himself has de-
clared, with something of sorrow, that he
has had but little success A friend meet
ing him one day recently was told by Cleve-
land that he had sat up until 8 o'clock
the morning previous answering his mail,
which was mainly of political or personal
nature. The friend advised him to employ
a stem ographer, and Cleveland replied that
he had never learned the knack of debating
replies to his correspondents. His friend
then said that he thought the labor of per-
sonally replying to so many correspondents
would interfere with his practice, and
Cleveland replied, and with just hint of
sadness in his tone, "The fact is 1 haven't
got enough practice to have by correspond
ence seriously interfered with
He has had one case in the Supreme
Court of the United States and he lost it.
He has sat as referee in several cases of
great Importance, and in two, at least, of
them his findings have been overruled by
the courts. The judges of soma of our
courts have made it point to send as
many references to him as possible, and it
is surmised that these are the chief part Of
his business at the bar. They are fire.
quently profitable, but they are not accepted
generally by men whose standing at the
bar is that Of pre-eminence.

of cycling should never be fully commenced
until the rider has attained maturity-that
is to say, until the age of q years has been
attained The effect of cycling on the
upper extremity of the arm and forearm is to
Slightly bend the limb, the deformity taking
place In the armbone and in the fingers,
and to bring about an unnatural curve of
the shoulders. On the lower limbs cycling
tells as markedly as it does in the spine;
and, as the lower limbs perform the greater
part of the work. they usually feel the effects
of ii most distinctly. Riding brings out and
exaggeates any deformity, however slight.
The pelvis of the rider, now practically
pnrt of the machine, is fixed to it, and is al
most as rigid as itself. In this position of
things the thighbone is placed under un-
usual strain. The large muscles in the fore
part of tho thigh are employed in extending
or lifting up the leg at great disadvantage of
leverage. What the strain is on these mus
cles every young cyclist knows to his cost
and it is not until they get a kind of extra
natural power that riding is easy. The
pressure upon the thlShbone causes bow

PRAYED FOR AN HOUR.
The Curious Freak of the Brother of the
Painter of AngeIIus.

CHICAGO, July 26-Pierre Millett, a
French artist, who claims to be the brother
of the famous painter of ''The Angellus, d"
came to Chicago July 10 and registered at
the Grand Pacific Hotel. This afternoon
he attracted much curious attention by
kneeling on the steps of the Chicago Ma
tional Bank and remaining in that position
for nearly an hour, apparently absorbed in
prayer.
When taken in custody by police Off
Ger, he said he had just received message
from God to kneel there and pray for an
hour. Guests of the hotel say he has
shown signs of insanity for several DAYS.
He is spiritualist and is supposed to have
become demented on the subject of spir-
itualism. The people here who appear to
know anything of his past say that he for
merly resided in Boston, and later in New
York. They do not credit his statement
that he is brother of the celebrated
painter, Millet.

CATCHING THE MUsKAL0NGE.
The Big Fish Is Lively and Must BE C1ubbed
as Soon as Landed.

as Soon as Landed.
New York Times.l
The favorite method of fishing for muska-
longe is with bass rod and big multiplying
reel, and with small fish for bait Long
casts are made from boat, or even in some
places from the bank itself. Often in throw
ing bait for a black bass from; a dock on the
banks of Lake Ontario fine, large muska-
longe has been hooked; and successfully
landed. Again, not infrequently, the fish
has carried away the tackle when light rigs
were used.
One fact should not be forgotten, never
allow the fish to remain in the boat for
half minute without giving him a crack
with club. They are a powerful fish, and
with a single leap will set mark for pro-
fessional jumper to practice on. Another
caution that it may be we'll to mention is
that it is not safe to make investigations in
the mouth of the Esox nobilior until the
curious angler is sure that he is stone dead.
Many a finger has been severed, or at least
badly lacerated, through establishing too
familiar relations with a muskalonge.

HUNS ON THE RAMPAGE.
THEY THREATEN TO BREAK OUT INTO
A RIOT AT STEELTON.

Serious Trouble Expected at Any Moment
EngIish-Speaking Strikers Guarding the
Works and Patroling the streets-A Big
Meeting for To-Day.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH,1
STEELToN, PA, July 26-Serious trou-
BILE is expected here hourly, and Burgess
Heagy is making every preparation to quell
a riot. The Hungarians are the dangerous
element, and it has been with the greatest
difficulty that they have been held back
The majority of these men are desperately
determined to strike and threaten
any moment to storm the steel
works and compel the 500 colored men
now working to come out. About so Huns
have arrived to go to work, but their fellow
countrymen have them penned up in a
house tonight and threaten to kill them if
they go to work. Tomorrow morning these
men will attempt to reach Lochiel, where
they will board train and be carried into
the mill.
The English-speaking strikers have so far
prevented the Huns from committing any
breach of the peace, and are guarding the en-
trance of the mills as vigilantly as the depu-
ties within. The steel company claims it
has from 1000 to 1900 men at work,
while the Amalgamated men concede
from 500 to 600 Tonight the
streets are being patroled by the strikers
and every stranger is requested to render an
account of himself If not satisfactory he
is promptly ordered out of town. The strik-
ers declare they have detected number of
Pinkerton men in the city.
The strikers have appealed to the mer-
chants of Harrisburg for food and financial
aid, and response has been liberal, but not
sufficiently so as to prevent suffering to
thousands of men, women and children,
who are without means of support. An open
air meeting of the citizens and strikers is to
be held tomorrow, at which the situation
will be discussed. President Weihe is
looked for and expected to speak at the
meeting

to be cold blooded murder was committed
at Mentor, O., last night, William Wood,
an unmarried farmer living alone, being the
victim. Shooting and screams were heard
in the direction of Woods house, but when
the neighbors went to ascertain the cause
they could find neither Wood nor his body.
He had just begun milking and there was
great alarm among the cattle about the
barn. A party has been searching all day,
but no trace of the body can be found and it
is believed that he was murdered by some
body who concealed the corpse in deep
ravine back of the barn. Wood has paid
attention to the daughter of farmer Charles
Schwind, and he had a jealous rival farm
hand named Hermann, who is under arrest,
accused of the murder. He protests his
innocence.
