JOSEPH 1T. CuoArE

tatcd the methods uf William Pinkncy. oncc famous, now forgotten. Mir. Pinkney was in the habit of writing out and com | mitting to memory his SllCychcs to the su- prcmc court and even practicing his gcs- turs hcforc n full length mirrur In his time his speeches werc pronounced mar vicious. and lawyers uscd to travel n great distance that they might hear him. Today such oratory as that would hc thought artificial. and 1t would bore a jury and would bc likely to weary a judge NIT. Conkling and Rob IngcrSOll were | plain spoken. simple and without cSp,,Cial | rhetorical flourish when spcaking either to the court or the jury. This cnnvcrsa- tional style of uratory has bcrn brought to its highest charm hy Mr ChOatc He | seems to have studied very closely the methods of Wendell Phillips, who was the | first tO bp,ak away from oratorical tradi- tions and to speak upon the platform in | such way as to suggest to each hCarcr that the words wcr,' aGldressEd to him pcrson- ally. It Is n manner Of public speaking which Is most effective when it is done with the highest art, and, on the other hand. 1t Is the most painful kind uf speak ing when it Is done without art.
 So perfect Is Mr. Choatc's command of this manner of public speaking that the courtrOOms in New York arc always pack cd when public announcement ha. been made of his appearance ns counsel In a case. Standing before the judge or the jury, Mir. Choatc Is quite apt To thrust one hand in one of his trousers pockets or else to trific gently with the charm upon his watch chain. He may even place one foot upon tho rung of a chair. He begins to speak precisely apparently as he would do If he werc engaged in private conversation with an acquaintance or one of the jury By and by the judgc, the jury. tho great throng in the courtroom, begin to rcaIIze that the wonderful charm of his voice that the easy familiaritics of speech, that the quiet tones, the wit, are all controlled by an art which is invisible but whose effect Is most potent in the making of clo- qucnt speech.
 While he does not hesitate to say don't even sometimes to drop the z from the end of the syllablcing, as Yankees arc said to be fond of doing, nevertheless the won derful fascination of his rhythmic sem tences, his purc IlictiOn, sentence after sen tence being spoken in the tongue of Shake spcare and tho English Bible, ruvcal the fact that it Is n master mind, and n mas terly trained mind. that is thus occupied in the attempt to convince the court and jury. It is not until his speech Is ended, perhaps some hours thereafter. that men realize the full beauty of it, and it Is then they say to one another. An, you should have heard Choate's asldrcSs to the jury yesterday!''
 If Mir Choate should ever enter a high public office, whatevrr power as m exec utivc he might rcveal, 1t is certain that his addresses, his public papers and his appearance upon ocprmonial occasions would be sure to create perhaps more in terest than any other person now in pri- rate life could by speech or writing secure.

cIEoPATRA'S NEEDLE.
Getting the obeli>Is Aboard Ship a Pretty
 Piece tT Encfueeriug.

Getting the ObelisIS Aboard Ship a Pretty Piece CT Engineering. "One of the ."aSantest recollections have to look back on, " said Adam Johnson, lis tho fact that was one of the party that helped to run up the American cOlorS over Cleopatra's needle when 1t was being taken down to be carried to New York. Our vessel was 1 out in the Mediterranean with a rowing commission, and we were at Alexandria at the time the obclisk was being moy- ed. The big stone had been presented by the Egyptian government to this coun- try, but the people were wild about hay ing it moved. We had to place a guard around the men who were working on the shaft, and even then there was al- most a riot
 But that was one of the prettiest pieces of engineering work have ever seen The engineers who were moving our shaft had a couple of big wooden cases built that fitted around tho needle
 like the pieces of wood around the lead i'll pencil There were n couple of pro- jectilcs on each side of the castings just on the center of gravity in the shaft, like the trunniOns on cannon. Under these they put lifting jacks and just picked that immense stone off its pedestal, swung it around horizontal and then lowered it as gently as could be on a long sliding way, with cannon balls under it for rollers They had a square hole cut in the stern of the steamship and slid it into the hull through that and replaced the sheathing outside.
 Under the shaft in the inside of the pedestal there were a lot of bronze toads and ornaments and the Lord knows what not that the Masons claimed were placed there by some of their progenitors cons ago. l don't know anything about that, though, and you can leave it or take it, as you choose.
 The British were not half so slick with tho obelisk they carried over to England They caSed it up in big sheet iron arrangement like boiler, riy- ctcd it ill and floated tine whole thing of through trench dug ill the sand down to the water. Then they rigged jury sails on it and lowed it over to England, but they lost three or four men of it before they got it ill port and had all sorts of time generally.
 "A couple of years afterward I saw the British Ohelisk set up on the east | bank of tho Thames. and when I came | home the first thing went to sec was | ours i'll Central park -"-Washington | Post

Q wretch, without fear or dread Ot thy trcIucnduu> Maker, shot me dead.
 On a stone in Cadoxton churchyard, Glam"rgan>hirc, is inscribed the most fearful accusation of murder to be found on any tomb i'll Great Britain:

 Although the savage murderer es- c:ip,d for a season the detection of man, yet God hath set his mark upon him either for time or eternity, and the cry of blood will assuredly pursue him to certain and terrible but righteous judgment.

Allow 8 |. hours to piece weighing l2 pounds and from that to four or five hours in proportion to the size Many think it best to stew corned beef rather than boil it.
 To stew it put no more water in the pot than will barely cover the meat and keep it gently simmering over T slow fire four or five hours. according to the size of the piece In carving a round of beef slice it horizontally and very thin.

A BRILLIANT AoVocAIE=
Joseph III. choatc's Position at the lar and
 In Politics.


 Especial Correspondcnce.1 NEW YORK, Sept lI.-Joseuh IT Choa.s IS not esteemed the leader of the New York oar, that honor having been by common consent bestowed upon James C. Carter Mr. Choate however. is spoken of ne the greatest advocate at the New Yo by- and 1t Is tho opinion of lawyers ,at he has equal rank with the most brilliant of nisi prius and jury lawyers who have ever galned the highest honors in this country. 1T the gossip of Mir. Choate's fellow law. yers Is founded upon truth, then he has already gained the prize which his ambI- ton set before Linn when, a young lawyer he came to New York nearly 40 years aso He Is then reported to have said that he would rather bc esteemed the leading ad- vocate of the American bar than to gain tho presidency of the United States.
 UT late in New York state much has been heard about the possible nomination of Mir. Choate for the governorship of the state, and this is somewhat surprising. since 1t had been supposed that MT Choate never had any political ambition. 1t was said by his friends that if he were to be nominated and elected by a considerable majority then his party in this state would Dc likely to urge upon the national con Sention in 1896 his nomination for the presidency.
 While the political comments occasion cd by this use of his name were interest ing many politicians Mir. Choate was busy With labors connected with n very exalted post to which he was chosen last spring-that of the presidency of the con Sention which is engaged in framing a new constitution for the state of New York.
 Many lawyers would rcgard such m honor as that as n sufficient official recoC- milton of pre-eminent ability, and MT. Choate's friends say that he, too. is con tent with 1t. In that body Mir. Choste has frequently revealed to the delegates those fascinating qualities of oratOry which far moro than his legal abilities have made him conspicuous above almost all other lawyers of New York
 A generation ago the oratory of the bar was ot the pcrfcrvid kind, or else the law yers wcrc elaborate in their display of learning and in their mastery of rhetoric and elocution. Some of them even imf-
