WOULDN'T REPEAT 1T.
Judge Clark Held One Term of Court,
but That Was Enough.

In Mississippi there used to be a
county where it was almost impossible
to hold court. The lawless backwoods
element would come into the county
seat and break it up" said Neil Car
uthers, a prominent attorney of that
state, to a reporter. Judge Clarke
once went there to hold court. The
first day he had a bucket of water
poured over him from chimney hole
in the roof, and several pistol shots
were fired in the courtroom. The next
day, as he opened court, he laid two
large pistols on the desk and at the
first sign of disturbance leveled the
pistol at the man and conducted him
to jail. After that there was no more
disturbance, and the better element Of
the community were anxious that he
should return the next term, but he
declined with a sentence that has
passed into a political proverb in Mis-
sissippi: I regarded my coming into
this country as an adventure. I re-
gard my leaving it as an escape -

Wisconsin takes second place, with
Michigan in the lead. Such is the
standing of the Northern Inter-Colle-
giate Oratorical league as determined
by the contest at library hall last
evening
The program opened promptly at 5
o'clock with a violin and piccolo duet
by Mr. A. NJ. Sames and Mr.. Paul A.
Biefeld. Mr.. W. W. Wettenmayer,
of Ann Arbor, first vice-president of
the association, presided during the
evening, as the president, Mr.. Mattson.
took part in the contest WiScOnSin'S
representative, Alonzo r. Smith, was
the first orator, speaking on the sub
ject, The Predatory Rich. He was
followed by George G. Fracker, of
Iowa university, and E. NJ. Lake, Of
the University of Chicago, the subject
Of the grafton Of the former being The
Tribe Of Ishmael, and of the latter
The Americanism Of Lincoln.
Mr.. George II. Simpson opened the
second half of the program with a
vocal solo, The Kings Champion, and
responded to an encore. The contest
was continued by F. P. Sadler, of
Michigan university, who took as his
subject Mirabeau; J. Mark Ericsson, of
Northwestern ON the Mission Of the
American Scholar, and was closed
by Bernard G. Mattson, of Oberlin,
whose subject was Anglo-Saxon SUI
premacy.
After a couple Of selections by the
mandolin club, the decision Of the
judges was announced as above
stated. Mr.. Sadler, of Michigan, tax
Ing first place, and Mr.. Smith, of Wis
consin, second.
The contest was a very close one,
and no one was willing to wager
much on the result. The announce
ment was, of course, not received as
enthusiastically as it would have been
had the contest been held in a Michi-
gan town, but there was little dissatis-
faction expressed
All the orations showed much thought
and a grasp Of the subjects treated,
and were delivered in manner which
kept the attention of the audience
throughout
The judges were Franklin Mac
Veagh, of Chicago, Ex-Gov. Ira j.
Chase, of Indiana, President John E.
Bradley, of Illinois College, Rev. Jud-
son Ellsworth, of Milwaukee, and Prof.
T. G. Roney, of the Armour institute.
Though the hall was quite we'll
filed, the receipts were not sufficient
to pay the heavy expenses and the
prizes to the winners, 500 and $50.
Delegations were present from the
other colleges represented, numbering
nearly a hundred in all. A reception
was held for the visitors at the close
of the contest. Refreshments were
served in the library, and dancing was
participated in until a late hour.
At the election of officers for the en-
suing year Mr.. E. J. Henning, of Wis
sin University was choice for presi-
dent, the first vice presidency going
to NJ. w Madison, of Northwestern;
the second to J. B. Brooks, of Michi-
gan, and the third to J. A. Hawley,
of Oberlin. w. O. Wilson, of Chicago
University, was chosen secretary, and
Miss Fanny Davis, Of the University
of Iowa, treasurer.

REHEARSING WIT.

'The funny men who travel in pairs
in society and fascinate light-headed
girls with their ready wit give me a
pain, because they are frauds of the
first water" said Robert e. Graham,
Of Cleveland, at the Lindell, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. "a few
evenings since, while in a hotel at
Indianapolis, / heard through an open
nansOm across the hall a rehearsal of
the ready wit with which two youths
intended to set the table in a roar at
an evening party which they were both
to attend. I'll give you the wink
Chawley, and when I pick up a piece
Of bread you say, %, / see you are we'll
bred. Then / will fire right back and
say, You he'd better not say So deah
boy
Then you get back at me when l
take another piece in my hands and
say, 60 yeast, you loafer.' Then I
shall say you are a rising young man.
Don't get 'cruSty about it. you say
Then / will pass the whole thing off
by saying that, talking about bread,
my mother used to make bread so
light that we would set a loaf on the
table and dispense with lamps or gas
light Three times these idiots care
fully rehearsed this idiocy, and do you
blame me for seeking consolation at
the bar? 1 have no doubt, however,
that they made a great hit at the even
ing party"

Washington, May f. Congressional
salaries for the month of April became
due today, so the members had their
first experience with the new pro-
ceedure of docking" for absenteeism.
Up to last night 213 members had
filed certificates showing the number
of days, if any, they had been absent
Today about fifty more certifica ties
were put in, leaving about 100 unac-
counted for.
In the certificates thus far received
six days is the greatest number of alb
sent days admitted by any member
The 'dockage" for this at $3.50 and
eight mills per day is So. 10. The
great majority of members certify
that they have not been absent at ALL
At this rate the total deduction will
be small.
The congressman are showing much
uneasiness in making out their certifi-
Gates, as there is nothing beyond their
word of honor to show how many
days they have been absent. Some of
the certificates are written over ON
both sides, with apologies and excuses
for absence, the members hoping in
that way to secure full pay, and yet
admitting their absence. The SER
geant-at-arms does not attempt to pass
judicially On the long and labored ex-
cuses. The only excuse recognized by
law is sickness.
1t is said that the certificates Of one
entire state delegation shows not day
of absence, although three of the dele
cation have been absent a consider
able part of the entire month, and
none of them claimed to have been
sick
Care is being taken to keep from the
public the individual names of the
members locked as it might cause
questions to be raised as to accuracy
of the amount deducted. Speaker
Crisp and Sergeant-at-Arms Snow are
not going back of the face of the re-
turns made by each of the members.
Many of the certificates with doubt
full excuses were submitted to the first
comptroller Of treasury. On May Is,
all certificates received will be filed
with the first auditor of treasury as
permanent vouchers.
