Condition OF the Treasury.

Repeatedly during the last ten years
the Times has drawn attention to the
constant depletion of the treasury of
the United States. and pointed out
wherein the treasury statement xas

ury authorities and OF republican
organs was uniform denial that trust
funds had been endangered or that
the treasury was in the slightest

Party Appropriations.


There is dispute between the repre-
sentatives of the two parties as to the
real appropriations made during the
congress just closed and their relation
to those of the previous congress. One
result is reached by the republicans,
who take the figures of the separate
acts, and another by the democrats
who give weight to the continuous ap-
preparations make by the previous con-
gress, and which the last congress
could not reject. Unquestionably the
view presented by the latter is the
more just. For instance. the dependent
pension bill of 1890 required an up
preparation in this congress of $780,
600, 900: the Mckinley Till cntailed an
appropriation of $40, 600, 600; the law
turning into the treasury the fund ac-
cumulated from the tax on national
bank circulation made it necessary to
appropriate SIG, 500, 600 for the redemp-
ton of notes previously redeemed from
that fund. These appropriations would
not have been made but for the action
OF the Fifty-irst congress, and the
FIT ty-second congress is in nowise re-
sponsible for them.-N. Y. Times.

GUILT AND JUSTICE.
A. II. Hummel Tells How Americas
Great Criminal Lawyers Work.
Memories of Men and Things-The Legal
Advocate Can Draw Tears and Laugh
ter with Equal Ease-AppeAr-
ance in the Courtroom.
rcoPyRIGHT. 1881

Common sense should be the key
stone of the legal e6ihce, and applica-
ton to work the corner stone of sue
cess in law.
The gift of oratory. now so rare, was
once an essential compound of prac-
ticing attorney. Time has divided the
profession into specialties and man
may now stand at the very head of one
of the several branches who has never
tried case in court. A fortune may
be accumulated by the corporation or
real estate lawyer, for instance, who
could never have earned his salt by
pleading in the criminal courts.
To be a successful criminal lawyer
one must be, first, an effective speaker.
and, second possessed of keen insight
into human nature. The latter is as
essential to him as the knowledge of
the criminal law, and the latest de-
cisions. Where the life or liberty of
the person whom he is called on TO
plead for hangs by thread SO slender
that the slightest jar will pull it as
sundcr, the lawyer must read the
thoughts of the members OF the jury.
The slightest blunder may mean death.
The entire machinery of the state
has been working to crush out the poor
wretch at the bar. The prosecuting
attorneys, backed by the police de-
partment. have regulations to earn or
to sustain by securing convictions. The
lawyer for the defense stands alone.
He need look to no one for help. He
requires keen wit and ready mind
to seize any opportunity that offers to
discover any flaws and loopholes. His
responsibility is all pervading.
The jury, of course, is instructed to
give the prisoner the benefit o. any
reasonable doubt and that he must be
deemed innocent until he has been
proven guilty. We all know, however,
that the mere fact of the arraignment
of man for trial creates in every mind
the presumption of his guilt which is
only shaken by positive proof of his in
nocence.
One wonderful advantage that the
prosecution has is that of making the
final argument. Any mistake made by
the counsel for the prisoner can be
pulled to pieces and no opportunity to
feply is afforded him. The jury leave
the courtroom with the words of the

of white lace, and was fastened round
the waist by a plated band Of black
satin, fastened by steel buckle. The
full sleeves were of the petunia can
vas cloth. With this gown, which for
originality and smartness would be
difficult to excel, was worn picture
hat of black chip, caught downquaint-
" at the back with bow of chip. 1t
was trimmed with shaded plumes and
tunia satin.
Infanta Eulalie wore dress that
may be of some interest on one of
her recent carriage outings. 1t was a
delicate yet vivid green satin with
black silk guaze to veil the skirt and
ending at the bottom in black ribbon
edged ruff1es. The bodice was of green
satin also, with black guaze drapery,
and had enormous sleeves and huge
deep pointed guaze cape dotted with
leaves in white lace applique.
With the princess rode lady in pale
mauve satin over which was draped a
cape that glittered with every move
ment covered as it was with a close
applique of sequins, cabochous and
beads.
One of the finest frocks at the ball
to Eulalia was arranged in broad al
ternate stripes of black corded silk and
cream satin. brocaded with a design
of roses in soft shades, melting one
into another. 1t opened in front
over pink satin petticoat yelled with
plated chiffon and caught in with
bands of lace. The bodice was of pink
satin. with cream lace zouaves, while
the full elbow sleeves were of heavy
brocades.
Pale blue and old gold crepon made
another pretty dancing toilet, and a
third was pink. accordion-plaited mus
lin caught with pink and white roses.
A picturesque wedding came off the
the other day. at which the bride wore
the usual white satin. but the brides
maids were in Duchess of Devonshire''
chiffon trimmed. silver white costumes
with enormous hats of the deepest sap
phire straw, trimmed with white
plumes and pale blue ribbon.
The trousseau included an unusual
number of black and white gowns
One was of black and white striped
silk fiounccd up to the waist. with the
bodice trimmed with cream-tinted lace
tied with ivory satin ribbons. which
was quite gorgeous; while another
scarcely less effective gown was of
black crepon with the skirt trimmed
below the hips with broad band OF
black satin ribbon covered with ecru
lace. On the bodice of this We're braces
of black satin followed with the lace.
and the short epasllettes which fell
from the sleeves again showed the
black satin and the cream lace. and
they were epaUlettes graduated with q
convincing moderation. Then there
was gown OF light gray canvas with
q flounced skirt edged with white satin
ribbon. and there was a black grena-
dine with braces OF white satin.

prosecuting attorney ringing in their
ears. Unless the plea for the prisoner
was most effective and stirred the
minds of those who heard it it had al
ready been forgotten.
1t seems very easy. to try criminal
case, especially by those who have
never tried to do it. 1t is always easy
to criticise the methods of the attor-
ney. As in a game of cards the on
locker, whose knowledge of the game
is equal to that of the player, is gener-
ally able to see the mistakes made at
the time of the play. The player S
mind being more intently absorbed,
may overlook points perfectly appar-
ent from the outside. So it is with the
lawyer.
The most effective addresses are
those that sound the simplest. The
argument that convinces is the one
that the average nearer thinks he could
have made himself or that he would like
to have made himself Those who have
tried addressing jury for the first
time know that is not quite as easy
as it looks. A story that has always
amused me is told of a young lawyer

time came for him to deliver his sum

LIVING FLOWER SHOW.
You Can See It Daily Wherever
You See Women.
The Summer Panorama Is Shifting and
Changeful But Always Beautiful-June
Fancies ard Especial Novelties
Hats aud New Gowns.
rcoPyRIGHT. 1891


There is the flower show at Union
square. That is in the early morning,
and all trace of it has disappeared
when the other flower show of the day
begins. at whose glory a million eyes
have wondered. 1t has no fixed loca-
ton 1t oversteps metes and bounds
and spreads its sheen of rainbow tints
and fiaunts its nodding plumes wher-
ever the soil may tempt. 1t is radiant,
glowing, wonderful. It's like the world
hath not known. It is the living
flower show of women in raiment like
the petals. that CLEANS, that glows,
that pales, that flashes. that coruscates,
that answers from gay shop window to
gayer street in all the center of the
town.
Never before. surely, were women so
arraycd. In the shifting panoramic
mass the eye recalls every color dear
for old sakes sake. The lilac and the
heliotrope have here lent their wonder
ful color. Here steps forth bravely in
to the sun pretty maid whose Figaro
jacket of dainty pink opens to disclose
the spotless white bodice, for all the
world like an opening sweet pea. There

There were some pretty gowns in
the park the other morning, though
most were ugly enough in all con-
science. One that was almost too fine
for its use was of tea rose, yellow
figured foulard. with two flounces to
edge the skirt. and a pulled bodice
with white crepe vest and green velvet
collar. big and quaint looking. The
sleeves were pulled to the elbow and

beautiful arms deserves such frock,
but preaching isn't my forte, SO there
shall be an immediate return to our

A simpler froch but as pretty was of
black grenadine. with blurred pat
tern of pink reses. The bodice had a
black satin collar, and a trimming of
black satin ribbon, with green rosettes
at intervals, went round the edge of
the skirt. Large lapels OF the same
material as the dress and cream lace
waistcoat fixed out the bodice and
disported themselves under a huge
lace and rose-trimmed parasol.
a cleverly planned dress shone at
the races yesterday on big, fair wom-
an, who enjoyed herself hugely be-
cause she won. 1t was of bright pc
tunia canvas cloth, the skirt encircled
by bands of black satin ribbon. termin-
