An Interesting Legal Case.

A case involving the ethics or perhaps
the law governing the legal profession has
arisen in central Maine. 1t grows out OF q
suit in which the plaintiff consulted two or
three attorneys before placing her case IN
the hands of another to bring action there
on. While it was pending, some of these
unemployed attorneys made statements in
public places that they were consulted and
advised the lady that she had no case. The
question now being mooted is an interest
ing one to the public at large.
All attorneys of the court are under a
solemn oath TO keep inviolate the secrets of
their clients, and the plaintiff claims such
declarations in regard to u pending case are
violations of duty in this respect, for which
damages would be given. The tongue bri-
die is an important article in the legal pro
fession, notwithstanding il is a talking

TAKE TREATMENT NOW!

Time and again the physicians of
the Scott Medical Institute have adj
vised patients in desperate stages of
catarrhal trouble to wait until sum-
mer before taking treatment. Time
and again they have urged the neces-
sitv of taking treatment while the
weather was favorable to a cure.
Now is that time Those who suf-
fer from catarrh should take advan-
tage of all the influences that operate
now in favor of n cure. They should
not put off treatment until next Win
ter's stormy days. but should pru-
IDENTIFY ..mend their roof while the
sun shines" Now is the time. and
the opportunity is just what is de
sired for the worst cases. Do not let
it 90 by, but place yourself under
treatment of the Scott Medical Insti-
tute. and have done for you in the
next month or two what might not
be possible to do until next summer.

Careless to say the Least.

Peoria Herald
Within less than three months two
conspicuous figures of the Harrison
administration the two men most re-
sponsible for tie present financial
condition of the country. have failed
in business. There is no reason for
rejoicing over the misfortunes OF Nc
Kinley and Foster. but their tinan-
cial downfall should be a valuable
lesson to those members of their
party who believe them to be iufalli-
bic in their opinions on commercial
and financial policies. For two years
these two men have been quoted and
looked up to by Protectionists as the
mbodyments of sound financial and
commercial ideas and methods. Two
wears ago Mckinley was well off and
Foster was very rich man. To-day
they are poor men; poor because they
outraged sound business principles.
OF course the failures of these two
men do prove that they are absolute
lv wrong in their opinions as to cor
rect financial and commercial poll
cies. But their failures show that
each was to certain extent reckless
in business and possessed OF little
foresight. How many business men
of correct commercial habits would
choose Mckinley now to direct the
commercial policy of this country?
How many bankers and business men
would choose Charles Foster to di-
rect the financial policy OF the coun-

De Lessons ard His Son jailed.

Paris cable: The Panama sentences
have been delivered. They are as fol-
lows:
Ferdinand de Lesseps, five years inn
prisonment and 5000 francs fine.
Charles de Lesseps, five years inn
prisonment and 5000 francs fine.
Marius Fontane, two years imprison-
ment and 5000 francs fine.
Henry Cottu, two years imprison-
ment and 10000 francs fine.
The judgment finds the defendants
guilty of swindling and breach of trust.
The sentences have caused a pro-
found sensation, especially that of NJ.
Ferdinand de Lesseps.
The charge of fraudulent proceedings
against Ferdinand de Lesseps, Charles
de Lesseps, Henry Cottu and Marius
Fontane was held to be proved. On
this point the judgment referred TO the
company's methods in issuing loans,
the mendacious official bulletins and
the persistent putting done by the press
at the instance of the directors. These
practices, the judgment stated, when
not directly originated or Endorsed by
the directors, had been connived at by
them. Ferdinand de Lesseps, aided
and abetted by his son Charles, NJ.
Cottu and M. Fontane, had persistently
concealed the operations of the of the
canal company in order that the quota
tions of shares might not be affected
unfavorably.

Thousands are Starving.

Special from Memphis, Tenn: -Four
thousand people in Concordia and Cal
houla parishes, in the northern portion
of Louisiana, are on the verge of starv-
alton. Information received from that
section shows that the people are in a
pitiable plight and unless relief is
given them at once many deaths from
starvation will result. The floods of
last summer destroyed their crops and
the water remained on the earth so
long that it was not possible to plant
cotton or anything else beyond some
quickly maturing vegetables. Hun
dreds moved away, but thousands were
unable to leave. Those remaining
have subsisted during the winter on
wild game, but as much game has been
destroyed they have nothing to keep
body and soul together.
The presidents of the different ex-
changes in Memphis, Vicksburg and
New Orleans have called meeting of
their organizations to raise funds for
the sufferers. The New Orleans board
of trade heads the list with $4,000.
