GLADST0NE'S COURTESY.
How He once Treated Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain.

They 'e still talking in London
of Gladstone's fine courtesy to
Joseph Chamberlain at the time
when Austin Chamberlain made his
maiden speech in commons. The
young man had bsen rather cocky,
and as severe as he was able to be
in his assaults on Gladstone and
John Morly, but, on the whole,
his speech was able and a more than
usually creditable maiden effort. In
the course of his great argument on
the second reading of the home rule
bill Gladstone alluded to young
Chamberlain. Chamberlain, senior,
who faced the premier, braced him.
self against the expected storm of
criticism and ridioule which the
young man had invited, and which
would be equally effective in paying
off old scores against the father.
But Gladstone rose above all such
pettiness and won a far greater vic.
tory over both father and son by a
few words of generous praise. IL
will not enter into an elaborate
eulogy of that speech" said he; il
will sum up my opinion of it by
simply saying that it was speech
which must have been dear and re-
freshing to fathers heart. y
Chamberlain senior rose, bowed his
acknowledgement and sat down
with his hand over his eyes, which
those who sat near HIM declared to
be full of tears.

THE TRUST ESTABLISHED.
Must Render an Accounting of the
Rose Property.

In the suit of the heirs Of John b.
Rose against A. L. DEMO. administra-
tor of the estate of P. w. SWEET, de-
ceased, tried before Judge Langhorn,
Thursday, decision was rendered in
favor of plaintiffs, who were repre-
sented by A. r. Kanaga, Of this city.
The origin Of the suit was as follows:
During his lifetime, and while he was
incarcerated in jail on a charge Of COM
plicity in the murder of Jens and Lena
Fredrickson, John B. Rose transferred
to Captain p. w. SWEET, president Of
the South Bend Land Company, in
trust for the benefit Of Rose and his
estate, certain notes, mortgages, and
stocks, the latter being two shares out
of seven In all OF the Shoalwater Bay
and Eastern oyster Company's stock,
and which has a nominal value of
$4,000. The property consists of the
Oakland, Cal, water front, over which
there has been such extensive litigation
during the past two years. Rose was
one Of the incorporators of the Shoal-
water Bay and Eastern Oyster Com
pany thirty years ago, when that COM
pany purchased the water front for
the purpose of using 1t in keeping fresh
large shipments Of oysters from shoal-
water Bay pending their sale in the
California markets. Subsequently the
land, as is well known, became very
valuable, until today 1t is worth in the
neighborhood of half a million dollars.

AN INTEREsTING suIT.
The Town of Ilwaco Defeated in It's
Suit Against Judge Broemser.


A lawsuit of q more than usually in
teresting nature has just been setlled
in the Pacific county superior court at
South Bend. 1t was the case of the
town of Ilwaco against Theodore
Broemser, police judge, and arose out
of the following circumstances: Six
months ago Judge Broemser was de-
posed by the town council, and ever
since he has been exercising the func-
tions Of that Office. The council set up
that he was q usurper and asked the
superior court toDsanction their actions.
It. ]. Clark, of Ilwaco, defended Judge
Broemser, and took the ground that
n municipal corporation had no power
to summarily discharge an elective Of
ficer or one appointed to fill an unex-
pired term in an elective office. His
argument before Judge Longhorn was
a very able one. He also claimed that
an officer must first be impeached and
proven guilty of some act of malfea-
sance in office before they had any
standing in court upon which to base
their claims for his removal. The judge
decided in favor of Mr.. Broemser, hold
ing that the council superseded their
authority; that the statute of the state
of Washington provided punishment for
q judge who violated his official trust,
and until that fact had been establish
ed the council had no power to come in
to a court room and ask for the re,
moval. Mr. Rroemser was placed In
peculiar position from the fact that as
no charge had been preferred against
him he could mob set up any defense in
quo warranto proceeding such as
was brought against him. The decls-
ion In effect makes all the official acts OF
the acting police judge appointed by
the council invalid. Attorney Clark's
argument was highly commended, and
completely disposed of the claims of
his opponents, Messrs. Hewen & Strc
ton, of South Bend, and Mr.. Dalton
of IlWaco

lands of Col. II. Il. Davenport, is supposed to
have been donated by Lord Fairfax. IL is sup

costly, than others, because it was located near
where many wealthy Church-of- England peo-

their neighbors in the size and magnifcence

SoIred TIE Polar Problem.


A few years ago there was in law school
not hundred miles from Boston a very
aged and eccentric professor. General
information" was the old gentleman's hob
by like Gen. Garfield, he held it to be in
controvertibIe that if a young LAWYER pos
sessed large fund of miscellaneous knowl-
edge, combined with an equal amount OF
"horse sense" he would be success. SO
every year the professor put on his exsmi-
ton paper a question very far removed
from his subject Of criminal law. One year
it was Chow many kinds of trees are there
in the college yard % The next, "What is
the makeup of the present English cabinet p
Finally, the professor thought he had in-
vented the best question of his life. 1t
was, "Name twelve animals that inhabit
the polar regions
The professor chuckled as he wrote this
down. He was sure that be could 'pluck"
half the students on that question. And 1t
was beyond doubt that that opprobious
young loafer, Jones, 'S7, would fail.
But when the professor read the exami-
nation papers, Jones, who had not answered
another question, was the only man who
had solved the polar problem. This was
Jones' answer:
six seals and six polar bears" Jones
got his degree with distinction. The pro-
fessor said that the man who could give
such an answer would some day cause the
shades of Webster aud Choate to turn green
with envy.
