James G. Dennison Cannot
Practice Law Here.
Was Admitted 10 the Bar When Not a
Resident OF the State.
The Fact Disclosed While He Was
Acting as a Witness Today.

In the appellate division of the Supreme
Court this morning Chief Justice Matte
son and Justices Tiilinghast and Douglass
decided that the name of James h.. Denni-
son OF S~tonington, Conn.,, should be
stricken from the roll Of attorneys OF the
court because when he was admitted to
the bar of this State on March z, 1891, he
was not a citizen or resident OF this State.
The case involved some interesting
points, and was brought to the attention
OF the court, while sitting in South
Kingstown yesterday, by Attorney A. j.
Cushing, who presented a petition from
Melinda A. Watson which recited that in
the case of the State vs.. a man
named Watson and husband Of
the petitioner, who was indicted
on the statutory offence OF cohabiting
with one Mary Watson, having a former
wife living, he was guilty of conduct of a
grossly improper nature.
At the adjournment OF the court,
yesterday afternoon, the case
was continued, to be heard
in this city this morning. Today
Mr.. Dennison appeared N stated
that ex-Congressman Charles III. Page
would act as his counsel. The former
then took the witness stand, and his
counsel mad asked him but two questions
when the fact was brought out that he
was n resident OF S~tonington and had
never been n resident of this State.
The chief justice then asked a few
questions as to how a nonresident could
be "a member OF the bar. Mr.. Dennison
said Mr.. Perrin of Westerly was a nom
resident, but the court reminded him
that Mr.. Perrin was a partner of ex-
United States Senator Dixon, who was
n resident Of this State. The chief justice
said that q nonresident could not issue
writs, nor could he swear allegiance to
the laws OF the State, though it was the
practice by courtesy to permit attorneys
from other States 10 argue cases here.
Mr.. Page argued that the petition in
view OF these facts should be dismissed,
and said hat Mr.. Dennison had studied
law in the office of A.. Il. Crafts
of Westerly, and no understood that
the latter was interested in the petition
with Mr.. Cushing. The latter wanted a
decree entered reciting all the facts but
the court ruled that a plain statement Of
the case was all that was necessary.

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away u bottle of their Digestive Cor
dial to any one who might call at
their New York office, there was q
great rush and great many people
thought they were crazy.
Subsequent events prove it to have
been IL very clever advertising trans.
action, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles,i it was in the end
protitable; nearly every one that took
free bottle came back for more and
paid for it with pleasure, saying they
had derived better results from it's
use than from any other medicine
they had ever used.
