WEBSTER'S SMALL FEES.
The Great Lawyers Income Was Unusual-
" Limited Even For His Day.

The Great Lawyers Income Was Cnusual-
ly Limited Even For His Day.
One Of our correspondents has been so
lucky as to fall in with little leather
covered book, like those Of bank deposit
ors, which contains Daniel Webster's
autograph record of his legal receipts
This chronicle fills % pages and extends
q little more than from 1888 to 1888 in
elusive. The first entry, dated Septem.
Der in the former year, is Of $50, and
the second Of SEQ, for retaining on the
New Hampshire circuit. The first fee Of
81. 900 was paid in May, 1884, by Mr..
Badger. Services regarding Cilley's will
commanded $500. The total amount for
the first year was footed up as $13. 40,
with the remark, Sept. 20. 1884. thus
done and concluded.
A similar summing up appears at the
close Of each other year. The second
total is SIS, 1S8.74; the third is &2l,-
1913. The first entry Of So, was in
1885, March 7; the first Of IS, 900 Dec.
7 in the same year. The last payment
was in respect to Florida land. The
largest single honorarium was 81, 800.
In February of the fourth year Is. 900 Is
set down as bestowed in q case Of Trinity
church, New York.
In turning over this record leading
metropolitan and even provincial law.
yers are astonished that Webster, al
though 20 years in Boston, so under.
valued his services He learned better
at last. When Robert c. Winthrop
looked at the earliest date, he said,
That's just the time that was ending
my studies in Webster's Office" and the
chirography led him to add that Web
ster never wrote firm hand. Nobody
surveyed the relic with more interest
than DR.. o. w. Holmes. Among other
things he said: Had the influx been
tenfold. Webster's purse would have re-
NAMED empty still. Had its capacity
received like the sea, whatever entered
there would have run OFF like water
from the back Of duck. New York

There is born with every ono of us

change from the cradle to the grave.
This born autograph is impossible to
counterfeit, and there is no duplicate Of
it among tho tceming pillows in the
world. Look at tho insides Of your
hands and the solcs of your feet; closely
examine the ends of your fingers. You
see circles and curves and arches and
whorls, some prominent with deep cor
rugations, others minute and delicate,
but all well defined and closely traced

Tho left hand knoweth not what the

different in size, features and general
physical condition us to be scarcely dis
tinguishablo, yet their finger autographs
are radically different.

PASSING OF THE BOOT.

Disuse Of Foot Gear Once Popular East
and West.
The diminished use Of boots is mat
ter Of concern to the manufacturers Of
them and to the producers Of heavy
leather and heavy calfskins. Twenty
years ago the calf boot industry was q
leading one in New England. Whole
towns were studded with factories which
produced calf boots exclusively. For
decade the sale has been gradually fall
ing of. and today 1t is Of hardly any
Importance. A few manufacturers Of
shoes include boots as specially. but
the demand is too light to amount to
much. When calf boots were more in
vogue, manufacturers consulted the par
tialities Of the cowboys. to whom price
was secondary consideration. The
legs were frequently corded with silk
stitching. The star and crescent and
other fanciful ornamentations were in
laid ON the legs Of the boots There
were high heels. and boots were striking
specimens Of mechanical art. The soles
were inlaid with copper, zinc and brass
nails. The cowboys no longer pay $40
for pair Of boots. They want substance
instead Of show. But they were not the
only wearers Of calf boots They were
extensively worn. Many men prefer
them today, though the number is grow.
ing less. The old fashioned stoga boots
were formerly sold In large quantities.
They are we'll nigh obsolete. There fol-
lowed demand for lighter and more
stylish article. A kip boot of finer tex.
ture was produced, about equal in up.
pearance to the best calf boot, but this,
too, has fallen somewhat into disuse,
and the sales this season arc scarcely
over onc.half tho usual amount. Where
there We're 20 factories producing boots
exclusively there is now not one. Even
tho farmers are using heavy shoes III.

CAN This REPORT BE RELIABLE +?
What Ex-Sheriff 0'NeiI is Said to
Have Sworn to
AS a Witness at the Trial of the Rail-
road Strikers-News for the
Sacramento Public.

The San Francisco Report of last even
ing publishes the following alleged re-
port of what ex-Sheriff O'Neil of this
county testified to at the trial of the rail-
road strikers in the Federal Court in San
francisco yesterday. There are probably
10000 persons in this city who are familiar
with the facts in the case, and they should
read what the eX-Sheriff is reported to
have testified to:
The defense in the strikers trial be-
fore Judge Morrow this morning put
Sheriff ONeil of Sacramento on the
stand. lie added another TO the blows
| dealt the prosecution by city officials of
Sacramento and San Jose last week. His
testimony was very strong and direct
that there was no need of troops in Sacra-
mento last July. He testified that during
the strike the strikers were good natured
up to the time Marshal Baldwin arrived.
The strikers were at all times within
control, but intertered with the men at
work.
lie had received a number of COM
munications from the railroad people
about suppressing the strikers and had
interviewed superintendent Wright. lie
several times asked superintendent
Wright to make up a train, and promised
to see that it would 90 out; but the COM
|
This he refused to do, as be felt able to
control the strikers. The company re-
fused TO give nm an opportunity 10 see
whether he could take their trains out.
'ONeil testified that there was no
trouble about clearing the depot after the
Marshal arrived, and there would, III his
opinion, have been no trouble on the 4th
OF July had the militia gone about it in
the right way. The troops should have
entered at the eastern end OF the depot.
The crowd was unOrganiZed and seemed
to have no leader. There was no trouble
until the Sd of July.
Then an attempt was made to move a
train under the protection OF the Marshal
ONeil was standing close to the engine,
the cab Of which was wrecked by run
ming into semaphore on its way to the
depot.
at was alleged by the prosecution that
the semaphore had been turned by some
OF the strikers just as the train approached
It, and that it crashed into the cab win
dow before the engine could be stopped.
ONeit said the semaphore had been
turned before. He was but fifty feet
away and knew that the semaphOre was
not thrown just as the engine reached it,
lie believed the reason the engine was
not then coupled to the cars was because
no proper effort to couple it was made.
The Sheriff said lie had not been
called to clear the depot or he would have
done so. The crowd was composed
largely of business men, mechanics ana
people from up town, with many women.
The strikers had never interfered with
the witness in the performance of his du-
ties. he saw no intimidation of the town,
and no condition that justified the inter-
terence of the troops. The company first
tried TO get out train on the 18th or 30th."

combination of business qualifications
and theological attainments to better the
condition of the diocese under his charge.
Recognizing the necessity for more rep
resentative house of worship than then
existed, he bent his energies to the task
of building new edifice, and the result
was the erection of the grand Cathedral
of the Holy Sacrament at Eleventh and
X streets, that is recognized rs the finest
church building west of the Missouri
River. 1t was completed in 1889, and the
dedication ceremony was probably the
most elaborate of religious character
that had been witnessed in the State"
In addition to the stately Cathedral,
Bishop Manogue erected a handsome

he resided with Rev. Father Grace, pastor
of the parish, and his assistant clergy
men.

DONE IN "A JOKE. "

a Trick That should send the PerDe-
TRAITOR to Jail.
P. Higgins, an employe at the railroad
shops, left his horse and buggy standing
in the rear of Wells, Fargo q Co.'s Office
at the depot last night, and some would be
Joker removed from one side the nuts
that hold the wheels in place on the AK les.
The restless movements of the animal
caused the wheels to come Off, allowing
the axies to strike on the ground, and
this so startled the horse that he hrok @
his hitching-strap and entered upon a
vigorous runaway. The buggy collided
with telegraph post near the Third
street bridge, and the animal was cap
tured, not, however, before the buggy
had received considerable damage.
