Their Choice.

People who find it tiresome to read a
book more than once will scarcely credit
the story which is told of one of the Scilly
isles. The entire library OF this little is-
land consisted, century or moro ago, of
a single copy Of the History Of DR.. Faus-

AS most Of the inhabitants were able to
read-provided words were not too difficult
tho conjurers story had been handed
from house to house. until from perpetual
thumbing very little of his entertainments
or his catastrophe was left 1egible.
When this alarming state of things be-
came evident meeting Of the principal
inhabitants was called to discuss what
could be done to remedy it, for the people
must have something to read.
A proposal was made and carried that
as soon as the season permitted any inter
course with Cornwall supply of books
should be ordered. The question arose
what these books should be- but at lest it
was settled amicably that an order should
be transmitted to Penzancc for another

BRYAN OBJECTED.

Ths Omaha World Herald Kepsnts of .
Foolish Contract.
OMAHA, Oct. 30.-In the district court
here q somewhat remarkable case has
heen filed against the World Herald,
which was enjoined from abrogating a
contract made several days ago by
which the Republican state central
committee leased for the remainder of
the campaign two columns on the edito-
rial page, over which to have complete
control. A line appeared over the space
indicating that it had been sold to the
Republicans. The paper declares that
the contract was abrogated bscauae the
Republicans did not confine themselves
to what the paper thought proper cam
paign matter. The court granted tenn
porary injunction and set the case for
nearing tomorrow.
The pspsr's refusal TO carry out the
contract any longer, it is asserted, Ia due
to the fact that Congressman Bryan,
who Ia the nominal editor, declared that
he would Withdraw if Proprietor Hitch
cock continued to print the committees
matter. which was alleged to be damag-
ing to Bryan's United States senatorial
prospects. The affair has created DO.

the fall of 1871 has been known generally
for 30 years. The circumstances Of their

ed the army of Versailles. II called upon
Marshal MacMahon on Sept. g." Manteuf-

Of war, and told him of the affair. did
not mention it to NJ Theirs, because he, es
civilian in his high official position,
would have complicated matters. I in
formed General dc Cissey that 1 felt ag-
grieved by Marshal MacMahon's behavior
and must have from him q declaration

general he had not intended any reflection

to sand two Prussien generays - The rar.

The result of Manteuffel's demand for
an apology was this letter, addressed to
him from MacMahon's headquarters:

BE Replies to Rsssbpry's Attack on the
House of Lordts.
EDINBURGH, Oct. 30.-A conference OF
the Scottish Conservative association
was held held here today. A large
number of persons were present, and ex-
Prime Minister Salisbury made speech
in which he scathingly criticised Rose
bery's speech at Bradford. He described
the agitation against the house of lords
ss 0 herring drawn across the path OF
OF home rule.
He did not believe Rossbery was in
earnest in his proposed vague reEolu-
tions regarding the houso of lords. 1t
would be harmless, and, if submitted TO
tho country. it uonld be in no wise like
the foreign referendum to which Rose
berry had likened it. He himself would
not speak against referendum. In fsct.
he thought it decidedly advantageous in
the form in which it ezieted in America
for good government and stability Of the
government.
Ii the Irish question was once moved
out OF the way, the house of lords would
gradually, though perhaps slowly, settle
back into the oid position in which the
parties were evenly balanced. He con-
cludsd by saying: ''If the position OF
handing the government OF the country
over entirely to aingls chamber should
come before the country, which do not
believe it will do, we would have to con-
front the greatest danger the community
has had to face in many centuries. Rs
member that the domination of single
chamber has not been adopted by any
considerable country on the face of the
earth. But for the house of lorda you
would have so votes in the house OF
commons, ssleable to the highest bid
ding party. making you and your in

TOUTING LAWYERS.
The Terrible Struggles For Law Business
In the Metropolis.

IN the metropolis.
The struggle for life is fierce in all pro-
fessions. Not the least go In the loyal. A
lawyer cannot advertise his ability and
desire for business in the newspapers as a
merchant docs his wares. If he does, he
is expelled from the ranks in disgrace
Neither is ho supposed to seek business in
any way. He must sit in his Office and
wait for it to seek him. Doubtiass the
great majority of lawyers do not seek busi-
ness, except through family or club or po-
litical influence but not SO all of them.
There are many lawyers who make it a
regular business to seek accident cases.
and it is safe to say that every man who is
sufficiently injured to be taken In charge
by policeman and conveyed to hospital
is bewildered by the array of legal talent
placed at his service for the purpose of re-
covering damages from somebody
The son of q man recently killed by
street car informed the writer that he was
besieged by no less than 100 lawyers who
were anxious to begin an action against
the railway before the breath had left his
fathers body. They came to him person
ally, they wrote him letbers-stereotype
letters-of sympathy and coincidence, and
Offering to relieve same by bringing ac-
tion at once on basis of 30 per cent or
80 1-3 per cent Of amount recovered. Sew
eral followed him to the funeral and tried
to claim the deceased as an old friend.
Some lawyers actually employ shrewd
solicitors who do nothing but follow up
all sorts of accidents and propose to the
victims to pay all advances in court costs,
etc Two or three firms have organized
themselves into SO called benevolent as
sociations, " and WOO betide the wight who
retains their services. Tho majority Of
these lawyers are miserable fellows, who
would not hesitate TO sell out their clients
for few dollars, though there are many
young mon of good pnrts-who are faith
full to their trusts. OF course obtaining
clients in this manner is nothing more or
less than barratry and champerty, but il
is difficult to prove the charge. Conse-
quently the number of barrators and cham
pertors increases yearly. 1t is said that
the pioneer lawyer OF this class in the city
is now q millionaire and member of ono
of tho SWEETEST law firms on William street.
