Blaine any more than Miss Murray
could gain votes for "Uncle Hold.
Miss Murray is a good example of the
hustling, wide awake, independent west
-ern girl She earns her own living and
is making a success of a business IN
which many men have failed. She is
Just % now and was but II when she
was thrown upon her own resources
She was living in Green, Ia, and went
into the office of the local paper as an
apprentice. She swept the floors, made
the fires, washed the rollers and Incl
dentally learned to set type. AS she
showed some aptitude for writing she
was allowed to do some reporting, She
learned, in short, to do everything con-
nected with q country lev Paper. Then
she was given a chance to run a news
paper for a cooperative company, but
the enterprise failed.
About this time she met Miss Cor
man, a schoolgirl friend who was re-
porter and stenographer. Both had saved
up little money with which they in
tended to visit the Worlds fair, but
they were both anxious to own news
paper, so when they heard that the
Nashua Reporter, then decrepit week
II, was for sale, they abandoned all
thoughts of the exposition and by COM
bining their capital managed to pay
down enough TO get possession of the
plant, giving a mortgage for the bal
ance.
With wonderful energy they went TO
work to build up the paper. They cid
almost all the work themselves and still
do it. They set the type, gather the
news, solicit advertising and attend to
the circulation. The Reporter is now
prospecting finely. In three years the
young women have managed to buy q
new outfit and pay off most OF the mort
gage. Their paper claims TO be indie
pendent in politics, but they warmly
supported Mr.. BOies, and they are solid
for free silver.
When the time for the Chicago con-
vention came around, they decided 10
suspend one issue, lock up the Office
and attend. So that is how Miss Muir
ray came TO be at the convention. Miss
German went along, too, and was her
companion when the Iowa delegation
took her down TO their seats on the floor
of the hall
Today Miss Murray is one of the most
talked about young women III the state.
The political leaders, III the first flush
of their enthusiasm, told her that she
could have any Office in the state which
she might name, but Miss Murray
wisely considering that politicians
promises are not always TO be depended
upon, modestly answered:
''There is only one thing that l would
like, and that is to make free silver
speeches during the campaign.
She has been assured that she VIII be
allowed TO do this TO her hearts con
tent, and as she is something OF an ora
tor she viii probably appear on tine

DECEIVING
WEYLER
LEE.

New York, Oct. "a spe-
cial to the World from Hava-
ma says: Weyler is fooling
Lee. The order prohibiting
the American consul general
from visiting prison keeps him
from personally investigating
the condition of Americans
imprisoned. He has to rely
on what Weyler tells him. In
their last interview General
Lee complained of the unsan-
itary condition Of the cells the
American prisoners were in.
Weyler replied boldly: "Oh'
| have attended to this matter.
They have been removed from
cells Nos. 81 and A."
General Lee retired, hatter
ed at his supposed success
not knowing that the Amer
/ leans have always occupied
cells Nos. 81 and AZ. Th'
. cells, by the way, are gloom,
. and SO damp that the waite

nursing it develops 1t into regular bombshell before the trial is concluded. He is clever reader of human charac- ter and In jury cases picks out two or three men whom he is convinced are dogged and determined. He concen- trates all of his energy to win these men to his side of the case, and if he doesn't get an aequittal he feels confident of a disagreement.
 Elihu Root, who can make a better showing against MT. Choate than any of the other lawyers because of his imper- durability of temper. Is at his best in ca ses which require deep and long re- search. He spends unusual time in the preparation of his cases, storing himself with fund of information which is cer- tain to puzzle the lawyers on the other side unless they have set up nights for many weeks looking up similar cases for the past hundred years. MT. Root is most formidable In summing up, 50,000 words of solid fact being his average in impor- tant cases.
 Senator Foraker of Ohio has on one or two occasions given New York lawyers valuable pointers. He has more magnet ism than most of them, and having a tireless capacity for taking pains with everything he often succeeds by deftly handling number of small details which his opponents have ignored as being too insignificant for development.

to the court room when the news flies around that Joe Choate Is going to argue case. Each one of the big lawyers has certain mannerisms and unique methods for impressing the judge and jury. Some
 of the bar do their best to copy these peculiarities, but unfortunately they lack the genius underlying the work of the legal heavy weights.
 Seeks Satirical Target.
 At times MT. Choate will take up case and put his whole heart and soul into 1t when the chances of his deriving any pe- law suit against Russell Sage Is an in stance of this kind. MT. Choate has worked like a Trojan in Laidlaw's be- half for the mere pleasure of making Un- cle Russell squirm. in the witness chair.
 MT. Choate has the faculty of saying them in deeply with the most innocent face and manner His bearing Is always the pink of politeness, but his tongue is just the reverse. He hates anyone who hoards up money for the mere pleasure of owning numerous dollars, and for many years Russell Sage and Hetty Green have been his particular targets. During one of the trials in the Laidlaw suit, when Uncle Russell was on the stand, MT. Choate innocently asked the was great philanthropist. MT. Sage saw the humor in the question and grinned, but he didn't like 1t when MT. Choate also asked him If 1t were true that he wore brown paper .waistcoats.
 MT. Choate makes few gestures when speaking. He reserves all his vitality and energy for the summing up, and has re- peatedly talked solid fact for six hours at a time without showing signs of fa- tigue, and every word he utters is worth listening to. sg
 When engaged in the trial of a cause he begins the summing up in his own mind the moment the trial begins. He believes that the surest way to convince the court and the jury is to stick to the main facts and to construct q theory of the case consistent with the undisputed points. Cases, he thinks, are and ought to be de- cided on the main facts and features, and not on insignificant details. especially when trials are conducted un- der great pressure for time. MT. Choate always likes to have good lawyer pitt ted against him, being of the opinion that

PICK THE WINNERS Composite Portraits of National
 Possibilities. THE DOMINATING FEATURES Mckinley Has the Best of It in the G. 0. P. Portrait and Whitney Shows Prominently
 in the Democratic Picture.

With the eyes of all the big democrats of the nation glued to Chicago, and the optics of the same class of republicans fastened on St. Louis, and with the nation guessing as to who will catch the respective plums to be doled out there, the art of composite photography may forestall the great events by show ing who the candidates will be.
 The composite of the statesmen who the democracy in the coming fight does thedemocracy in the coming fight does not look like any one of the great men in particular but 1t has certain pre- dominating features which bring the is- sue down to two or three men. This pie ture Is made up of Richard Olney, sec retary of state; William c. Whitney, ex- secretary of the navy; John Griffin Car lisle, secretary of the treasury; Grover Cleveland, Ex-Gov. James c. Campbell of Ohio, Ex-Gov. Robert B. Pattison of Pennsylvania, Gov. Claude Matthews of Indiana and Hon. William B. Morrison of Illinois.
 Olney, Cleveland, Whitney, Campbell, Pattson and Matthews all wear a mus tache, Carlisle is clean shaven and Nor rison has full beard. For this reason there is very little resemblance to Car lisle in the picture, and Morrison is only very faintly outlined, although the mas
  prominently.
 MT. Cleveland's face does not assert it. self in the picture with any degree of glaringness, although there is something more than suspicion of the familiar lineaments of the chief executive. The nose is there, and the eyes are to be de- tected. The hair is somewhat too abun- dant and the mustache is a trif1e longer and less compact than that of the presi- dent.
 A Suspicion of Whitney.
 The face which shows quite distinctly is that of William c. Whitney. This is perhaps due to the fact that the familiar eyeglasses of the former secretary of the navy are quite apparent. Many of the other possibilities use glasses and spec tacles, but they do not wear them ha- bitually, as is the case with MT. Whitney and they are not photographed while wearing them.
 Aside from the eyeglasses the com posite picture has the diplomatic look of MT. Whitney, which shows that all the other possibilities are more or less diplo- maticalIy inclined or this expression would not be so clear

The members of the Pioneer club are all women and the club is run on very nearly the same lines as those of the average well to do club in metropolitan city. Here, the new woman does not spend all of her time talking about what the sex should do to assert itself. They do not strive to revolutionize the world at one swoop or talk incoherently about what will happen when the feminine mill lenium comes. They have simply taken matters into their own hands and have gone ahead in practical way, doing what the other new women say should be done.
 When the Pioneer club was organized in May, 1892, by twenty-odd women much was written about 1t, as an insane enort on the part of few misguided women to ape the ways of masculinity. After the first outburst very little was written about it because It soon assumed the shape of an established fact and its pros perity badly rattled the prognostlcations of dire failure so freely made.
 As to its success, it Is only necessary to say that the membership now numbers more than 300 and the club has had to change It's quarters repeatedly to meet the requirements of it's prosperity.
 The President.
 The guiding spirit of the club and it's founder is Mrs. Massingberd, woman of fine family, broad education and con- siderable wealth. In years she is some where around 40, but owing to the way she dresses her age would seem nearer 2O This is particularly the case when she is sitting at the table, when only her face and the upper part of her body are visible.
 She wears her hair short and parted on the side. Her mouth is large, her cheek bones prominent, her ears are large and the expression of her face quite masculine. This idea is heightened by nf If that she wears a mans shirt, but whether this is true or not, she wears g high white collar with the ends turned down, a four-in-hand cravat, white waist coat fashioned like the ordinary swallow tail without the skirts. The sleeves of this coat are trifie fuller and the lapels are broader than those of the mans coat but altogether 1t is a very | fair representation of the masculine gar ment. Mrs. Massingberd wears a plain

the slightest thing is discovered contrary to the high stapdard set by the club the woman Is informed that sho ineligible and her name is taken down without more ado.
 The initiation fee is three guineas and the annual dues are the same The up- per part of the club house contains a number of bedrooms for the use of the country members for a limited number of days, and this has proven to be one of the most attractive features of the Pioneer
 Every Thursday there Is a regular club dinner, well cooked and well served. at Ia cost of ? shlllings and pence, or about 50 cents. No wines or liquors are served in the club, in deference to the temper ance views of many of the leading mAfY1r bers, but when the coffee has been served three-fourths of the diners light cigar cites and listen to the speeches while blowing rings of tobacco smoke toward the ceiling.
 The Nicotine Room.
 Smoking Is one of the recognized feat ures of the club. One of the two sacred apartments in the house to which visitors are never admitted Is the smoking room. All kinds of cissrettes are kept ip the club house, including the all-tobacco kind, as some of the members have pro- gressed sufficiently in the art of smoking to frown upon the paper rolled affairs. Full-fedged cigars have not yet been in- troduced, but as the habit grows strong- CT they are bound to make their appear ance, and perhaps the day will come when the briarwood pipe will be In favor. A combined library and writing room Is the other apartment sacred to the mem- bers.
 Care Nothing for Criticism.
 That the members do not care a rap about the adverse criticism hurled against them Is quite apparent the in- stant the visitor passes from the street into the ante-room, for on the archway dividing this apartment from the inner ente-room Is inscribed this dlctum: They say What say they-Let them say" The motto of the club. inscribed on the wall of the main drawing room, Is St. Augustine's magnificent dlctum: "In good things unity. In small things liber- ty. In all things charity"
 In the matter of furnishings and equip ments the club is perfect, and under the guiding hand of woman has many little comforts which the Ordinary fashionable mems club does not possess.

THE REAL NEW WOMEN Oddities of the Pioneer Club of
 London. GROWTH IN REGENT YEARS Mrs. Massingberd, the President Wears Strange Clothes, and Nearly All of
 the 500 Members Smoke.

London, April 16.-Nowhere else in the world, perhaps, has the new woman as serted herself with such business-like emphasis as here, and the very center of the idea is located at No. 22 Bruton street, once the town house of Lord Hast ings, but now the home of the Pioneer club.
 An hour or two spent at this club will teach the visitor more about the new woman than he or she ever dreamed of. Moreover the newcomer will see the new woman in real life, not as she is grotesquely pictured, or not as some al legged new women pose before the public

HOW THEY IMPRESS THEM Methods of Famous Lawyers to
 Capture the Jury. CHOATE'S SHARP SATIRE Coudert's Artistic Magnanimity Serves His
 Clients WeIl-lngersolI as Reader E of Character.

New York, April 24.-Whenever any of the big lawyers of the metropolis or the legal luminarles of other cities have a case to try in the courts here every law yer in town who can spare the time goes to that particular court to observe how the great man tries his case. It is not an every day occurrence to see one of the great legal giants hard at work as not many people can afford to pay the fee required by these men when their per senal attention to a case is demanded
 Many people employ the firms of which these lawyers are leading lights and they pay heavy sums by doing so but unless
 treble the amount be handed over, the case Is given into the care of some junior
 partner, or some employe of the firm,
 and he manages it to the best of his abil- ity.
 Joseph Hodges Choate, for instance never gives his attention to a case which requires much attendance at court for less than $5000 As the leading lawyer in the country today he can easily fix his own price and there are always number of wealthy people and rich corporations ready to pay it. MT. Choate earns some thing like $125,000 a year, and naturally he places high value on his time. It is to see how man with this pile | of money acts that all the, lawyers f1ocl,
