Condolences OF Clients.

1.-THE matter Of condolences between
counsel and client is one Of great inter-
est and Importance, said we'll known
jurist and ex-judge the other day.
"As to the duty of a lawyer on the
trial of case where he has been in
formed by his client that he is guilty,
the best and most controlling example
Is that of Charles James Phillips, the
eminent British barrister who in many
directions was rated in his time as Sec
ond only to Lord Erskine.
He was defending Courvoisier, who
was indicted for the murder of Lord
Russell. During the trial, on the exam
ination of very important witness for
the people, the accused was much over
come, and in the intensity of his emo
ton communicated either to Mr. Phil
lips or to his solicitor the fact that he
was guilty of the crime
"Mr. Phillips Immediately asked for
an adjournment of the case and for
consultation with she judges. The con-
sultation was granted, and Mr.. Phillips
stated to the bench that the accused had
confessed his guilt and requested the
judges to point out to him his path of
duty. The judges, after deliberation,
stated that he would have a perfect
right to make such legal and logical de-
auctions from the evidence as he
thought tended to the exculpation Of the
accused, but it would be unprofessional
to state to tho jury any personal belief
of his innocence.
'In his argument to the jury Mr..
Phillips, carried away by his emotions
and imagination, did state to the jury
his own personal belief in the innocence
of his client, and this statement of his
ocoasioned much criticism afterward. /"

Salt for Insanity,

A physician, i'll treating an insane pa
tient found it admirable to make use of
subcutaneous injections of salt. The pa
tient had obstinately refused all nour-
ishment, and the salt was given as an
experiment in nutrition, this treatment
having been made use of some time pre-
viously. To the DOCTORS surprise, some
Of the worst symptoms of insanity dis
appeared. Further trials convinced the
faculty of the value of this discovery,
and, according to all indications, there
is in this course the germ of a discovery
that will entirely revolutionize the
treatment of the insane. We are told
that the human body consists Of about a
dozen elements. When the SO are present
in too great quantity or are lacking, we
are i'll. The great art is to decide just
what element needs regulating. When
this is DONE we are restored to health.

Infant PrOdigies.

Sir Christopher Wren was a prodigy
in youth, as in maturity. Oughtred, the
first mathematician of his day, declares
in the preface to his great book that an
ingenious boy, gentleman commoner
at Wadham," had enlarged the sciences
Of astronomy, gnomonics, states and
mechanics by most brilliant discov
cries, ''praeclaris inventis." This was
Wren at the age of Is. A year before
that he had taken out patent for an in
strument to write with two pens at the
same time. In the same year he was ap-
pointed demonstrating assistant ON anat-
omy at Surgeons hall.
Wren lived to justify his early prom
Use, but Dugal Stewart tells us of a hoy
who, as he hoped, would rival the
fame of Sir Isaac Newton" This was
the son Of Count Pusgstall II cannot
help considering him, wrote the
Scotch professor, ''as the most extraor-
binary prodigy of intellectual endow-
ment that has ever fallen under my
knowledge" This is great saying in
deed from Dugal Stewart who was not
given to enthusiasm nor careless expires
sion.
Unfortunately we have no detailed
information about the youth s acquire
ments in later years. % died at 10 of
general decay apparently. But Mr.. Lee
maistre met him in his travels and pub,
lished an account in 1906, the boy be
ing then years old. HE sits on car

the gravest and most acute remarks fall

Among other tests, Mr.. Lemaistre
asked him to make map of the Vene-
tian empire, which he did with accuracy.
Those competent to judge the fact will
readily believe that the child of years
who performed it was an animated mir
acle. The French armies barred nearly
every road in Europe to an English
traveller at that date. Mr.. Lemaistre
asked how he could get home without
touching Hanoverian. French or Dutch

open. 1t is we'll for this gentleman

A Good Thing and Nothing to Pay.

Just see what DR.. Greene offers to
do for all weak and suffering people.
He is the most succe ssful living spe-
ciaist in curing nervous and chronic
diseases. His unparalleled offer to con-
suit with any one, free of charge, by
letter correspondence, is doing Won
derful good. If you have any com.
plant which you do not thoroughly I'M
derstand, and which you would like
cured, write the doctor letter stating
just how you feel and what symptoms
trouble you. He will answer it, giving
complete description of your case, ex-
planning the meaning of every symp-
tom, and telling how you can surely get
we'll and strong. He gives most care
full attention to each letter, and ex-
plains your case 80 thoroughly that you
understand what ails you. All this
costs you nothing, you have no DOCTORS
fees to pay, and you don't have to leave
your home. The doctor makes spe-
cialiy Of treating patients through let
ter correspondence, and they nearly al
ways get we'll. He is the discoverer OF
that wonderful medicine, DR.. Greene's

The End Seat in the Pew,

1T is common enough" said Mr.
Gratebar, ito see a man sitting in the
aisle end Of a pew in church get up ON
the arrival of some other member of the
family, step out into the aisle to let the
late conner in, and then resume his seat
at the end of the pew. 1t seems to me
that have read that this custom origi-
mated in New England in the early
days, when the men all sat by the aisle
SO that they could seize their guns and
get out promptly in case of attack by
Indians. We don't have much to fear
from Indians nowadays, but the seat by
the aisle is still occupied by the head of
the family. He stands in the aisle while
the others pass in, and then calmly
takes his place in the end seat, at the
head of the line, as a sort of general
protector.
Sometimes in these days, we are so
very free from Indians now, the head of
the family thilXs it is safe for him to
stay at home when he has headache
and then the young son takes his place.
imagine that he talks it over with his
mother on the way to church, so that it
is all understood. When they get to the
pew, he stands in the aisle while his sis
tiers and his mother pass in. | fancy that
his sisters are rather glad when they are
all seated and no longer conspicuous
but upon his mother face as she brushes
past him into the pew there is a smile
of affectionate pride and then he takes
his seat in his fathers place and sits
there with fine boyish dignity. New

IN GENERAL.
A Famous Passage from Keats.

A thing Of beauty is a Joy forever,
Its lovelness increases; II will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and sleep
Full Of sweet dreams. and health. and quiet breath
ing.
Therefore on every morrow we are wreathing
A nowery band to bind us to the earth,
Spite of dependence. OF the human dearth
OF noble natures, OF the gloomy days,
OF all the unhealthy and o'er.darkened ways
Made for our searching yes, in spite Of all,
Some shape OF beauty moves away the pail
From our dark spirits Such the sun, the moon,
And such, too, 10 the grandeur of the dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead
All lovely tales that we have heard or read;
An endless fountain OF immortal drink,
Pouring unto us from the heavens brink.
Nor do we merely feel these essences
For one short hour: no. even as the trees
That whisper round temple become soon
Dear as the temples self, so does the moon,
The passion poesy, glories infinite,
Haunt us till they become cheering light
Unto our souls, and bound to us so fast,
That, whether there be shine, or gloom o'ercast,
They always must be with us, or we died.

may save much after-suffering.
The after-effects of La Grippe
are distressing. They can be re-
lieved and CURED by DANA'S,
but the pain and distress would
have been spared by timely use
of the proper remedy.
La Grippe caught both MR.. and
MRS. O. O. MILLER of NORTH
FIELD, Washington Co., VT, at
about the same time. When the
disease had spent its strength, it
took with it their strength as well.
Knowing that something was need
ed to build up the system, and
learning what DANA'S had done
for their neighbors, they used it.
AS tonic it met every wish. The
return to strength was rapid and
continual no relapses.

At first the words seemed to choke

Buck repeated the last words over

One evening late in December, as l

G. Scarlet-that means blood-and the
Bible says no murderer can enter the
kingdom. But he can wash the MUIR

Seized with a sudden curiosity, l
mounted one of the benches to get a
glimpse of the speakers face. A pale
face, with clear gray eyes and waving
brown hair-where had seen it before?
What was the vague memory that for
moment seemed only to tantaize me?

she had seen the look of recognition in
my face, and recognition to a woman
with such past must always be dis.

PERALTA-REAVIS CASE.
Arrival of Mr.. Peralta-Reavis With
ont Consultations to Continue
and Dismiss Denied
tOrily. Set for Tomorrow
Morning.

Mr.. James Addison Peralta- Reavis, one
of the claimants of the alleged Peralta
land grant in Arizona, now pending be
fore the United States court of private
land claims in this city, arrived in Santa
Fe on Saturday evening. He was not ac-
companied by Mrs. Peralta Reavis, the
co.claimant of the so-called grant, nor by
counsel.
This morning at 10 O'clock Mr.. Peralta-
Reavis personally appeared before the
United States land court, full bench
being present, and asked for continu-
ance of the hearing on the ground that
he was without counsel and also needed
more time for preparation. This petit
tion the court denied, at the same time
reminding the petitioner that his case
had been on the docket since February
IS, 1898, and had been set for trial since
last February, which was regarded as am
pie time for preparation.
The claimant then filed a motion to
dismiss the case. This motion, after
some time being spent in the consulta-
tion room, WAS also denied by the court
on the ground that important matters of
this nature voluntarily brought before
the land court, where titles to large
tracts of land we're involved, could not
be dismissed at the pleasure of claim
ants, but must be adjudicated. There
fore the hearing of the case was peremp-
torily set for 10 o'clock tomorrow morn

HIGH KICKING MATCH.
One of the Unique Incidents of the
Coming Festival Week in
Santa Fe.

Upon receipt of notice from Mr. Fl. s.
Clancy that Santa Fe would back Jake
Levy, of this city, as 2 "high kicker"
against Fred Lewis, of Albuquerque, for
from 800 to $500, the match to occur in
Santa Fe on July 4, Mr.. W. 7. Nc
Creight promptly replied
"Consider the challenge accepted and
match made, and the Citizen will back Mr..
Lewis for any amount, preferring the
stakes to be $500. However, the board Of
control of the association, of which the
president of the association is exofficio
member, can arrange the details of this
most interesting match on the morning
of the glorious Fourth, as soon after the
arrival of the Albuquerque excursionists
as possible. The president of the asso-
citation will be on the grounds with few
hundred dollars more than $500 to put
up on the side that Jakey Levy or any
other Santa Fean can't stay with our
Lewis in one kick. The whole southern
tier of New Mexico will come down with
Lewis shekels."
This high kicking exhibition promises
to be most exhilarating incident of the
approaching festival week in Santa Fe.

Coming Musical Event.

Prof. Dupuy, who will be heard in Santa
Fe on July 4, in company with the Eollan
Quartetts of young ladies, and the great
original Orpheus Quartette, is tenor of
exceptional ability. His range is from
G below middle to high G. Speaking
of the Dupuy concert In Albuquerque the
Citizen says:
The Dupuy grand concert and enter
tainment at the opera house. last night
was most enjoyable in every feature of
the program. The seven difficult num-
bers in the first part of the program
were each enthusiastically encored, and
the "Box of Monkeys" was all of the side
splitting comedy the name indicates.
The first number was the debut of the
Eolan Quartette, and the applause they
received showed that they won their way
into the hearts of Albuquerquean and
covered themselves and their teacher, Mr..
Dupuy, with glory. The beauty of their
singing is in the blending qualities, for
at no time was any of the four voices
prominent. Their costumes were lovely,
and the special stage setting was one OF
the best pieces of work ever seen at
Grants opera house. In this number the
Eolians we're assisted by quartette OF
violins under Prof. Di Mauro, which add
ed greatly to the effect"
The other features of the program, par
ticularly the fine singing of Prof. Dupuy
are also highly praised. So the people
of Santa Fe can count upon rare musical
treat on July 4.
