PRAISES LAWYERS.
Dr. Depew Addresses Alumni of q

DR.. Depew Addresses Alumni of a
Law School
s st. Louis, June 14.-Hon Chauncey NJ
Depew sustained his reputation by making
an lfterdinner speech within "a hours after
he reached st. Louis. The distinguished
New Yorker was the guest Of honor at the.
annual banquet Of the alumni of the st.
Louis Law school at the Mercantile club
tonight. The banquet was largely at
tended and presided over by Franklin Fer
rlss. Mr.. Depew's eulogy on the legal pro-
fession awakened much enthusiasm He
was introduced by Mr. Ferriss. After ex-
pressing his great pleasure at meeting his
brethren of the bar of Missouri, DR.. De-
pew, in brief and happy way, reviewed
the historic profession of this country.
He then said:
I'VE are accustomed to pay superlative
tribute to the great soldiers of our country
In lesser measure we glorify the statesmen
Of the republic. 1t is the story of our
nation that its origin. and development
have been due to a few great leaders. We
have little written and less understood Of
the large debt we owe to a few great
lawyers Alexander Hamilton was the most
brilliant and constructive intelligence Of
his own or OF almost any age. He was the
leader of the bar Of the United States.
We pass down another generation and the
conflict which Hamilton foresaw and furn-
dshed the broad language to cover, which
Chief Justice Marshall gave, the law to
powers of government, became political
question of the first moment. Then, again,
the leader of the bar in a speech in the
United States senate, unequalled for the
felicity Of it's diction the power of It's logic,
the sustained and lofty grandeur of it's
thought, proclaimed the doctrine of liberty
and union, one and inseparable, now and
forever This great lawyer was Daniel
Webster
Another generation came upon the stage,
and upon another lawyer devolved the SUI
preme task of supporting the ideas Of Ham
1lton, maintaining the decisions of Marshall
and carrying out the doctrines of Webster,
Ihls majestic work was performed by
Abraham Lincoln. Fortunately for us our
ancestors, trained and educated in the best
traditions of civil and religious liberty, ap-
preached the problems Of government with
out the heredity of monarchy or feudalism.
Every decade, almost every year, has it's
problem for solution and its critical time.
1t is the mission of the bar and one which
1t has always fulfilled to forecast or to
meet these dangerous situations. This is q
lawyer government
In closing Dr. Depew spoke for higher
standard Of admission to the bar and elo-
quently summed up the good to be found in
the profession of law.

The great bustard is the rarest bird
that comes under the head Of game.
This bird formerly haunted all the

particularly common on Salisbury
plain. From the reign Of Henry VIII.
repeated measures were passed in or

A PECULIAR INDUSTRY.
Horsefeet-Crnb Fishing OFF the Long
Island Shore.

Horsefeet-Crab Fishing Off the Long
Island Shore.
This is the season of the year when
along the Long Island coast sailing
parties go to Fire Island to ply pc
culiar vocation. Their errand is to
gather a supply of the longtailed mol
!1usca crabs, locally known as "horse-
feet" an appellation which they re-
ceive on account of the large shield
like she'll which covers the body and
limbs, closely resembling the hoof of
a horse. This shield Is cop11osed Of
two parts, the juncture taking place
across the center Of the body. A long
Sharp spine a foot in length projects
from the rear Of the shield, and is
employed by natives Of South Pacific
islands as the head for an arrow or
lance. These creatures, however, are
singularly harmless, and may be
handled with IMMUNITY. The 'horse--
feet" hunter chooses a warm moon
light night upon which to take these
crabs. At such times he secures the
boat to himself by rope fastened
about the waist, and, Wading in shall
low water, finds the crustacea, which
have crawled up near the shore, and
throws them into the boat as they
are picked up. In single night a
skiff holding about 800 has been filled
with these crabs by one man.
A ready sale is found for these crabs
among the baymen and farmers Of
Long Island. The baymen use them,
after the shield has been removed, for
batting eel pots, while the farmers
find in them most economical and
admirable substitute for fertilizer.
The female crabs are sold at 81 a hun
dred, while the males, owing to their
inferior size, bring only one-half that
price. The "horsefeet'' display an i'm
patience at the rays of the sun, at
such times burrowing in the sand,
leaving only the top Of the back in
sight. When crawling on the ground
the large shieldlike covering complete
ly conceals it's limbs, and gives to it
a most curious appearance, it's power
of locomotion seeming to come from
some external agency. When a crab
is caught, and it is desired not to re-
move it at the time, the spine-like
projection is stuck into the sand,
where it remains a captive until the
rising tide, washing away the sand,
releases it. In length, the main body
of the crab is the same as that of it's
tail, one foot, as previously stated
New York Post.

The Maldivian islanders eat alone.
BEFORE meal they retire to the most
secluded spot they can find and eat
with drawn blinds or surrounded by
a screen. The explanation Of this pre-
caution is more likely to be fear than
modesty. In days gone by the savage
no doubt concealed himself lest some
man stronger than he should snatch
his hard-earned food away.

An Interesting Decision Affecting
Suits Against Railroads.
Sioux City, Special, June 14.-The recent
ruling of United States Judge Shiras of
the Northern Iowa district on the case Of
g. L. Van Patten VS. the Milwaukee. road, s
In which he denies the application OF the
defense for a dismissal OF the suit on the
ground that the railway company, having
been organized in Wisconsin, is entitled
to a trial before the courts Of its own state,
is the first official opinion ever rendered on
this important point in the interstate COM
merce law and is regarded with much inter
est by the legal profession all over the
country. The action is the most important
of the test suits brought by the North
West Iowa Grain Dealers association to
recover total Of little less than 81 ;00O, 900
overcharges alleged to have been made
by the roads traversing this part OF the
state on grain shipments to Chicago from
points in this locality. In his written opin-
ion Judge Shiras first notes that not even
the defense questions the jurisdiction of
the federal court in litigation brought,
as this is. under the interstate commerce
act. Were it brought in the federal court
simply on the ground of the diverse citizen
ship of the litigants the contention of the
road concerning its right to hearing in
its home state might, he thinks, deserve
some consideration. The subject matter it.
United States court has cognizanee over it
the Judge considers it clear that papers
may be filed in any district where service
can be had on the defendant. This ruling
will be one of the grounds on which the
roads will base an appeal to the appellate
and subsequently. in the event Of an ad-
verse ruling there as we'll, to the United
States supreme court.

South Dakota Pops and Democrats

Huron, S. Oak, Special, June 13:-The
Beadle county Populists held their county
convention here this afternoon and de-
cided to fuse with the Democrats, the lat
ter being given three places on the Popu:
list ticket, viz. Henry G. Hinckley, state
senator; Maris Taylor, county treasurer
and R. S. Campbell, probate judge. The
Populists take A. G. Medbury for sheriff
and ]. B. Davis, G. S. Sprague, Walter
Lloyd and G. T. Hanna for representatives
Thirteen delegates were also named for
the Populist state convention, which meets
here July II.
Resolutions were adopted endorsing the
Omaha platform and declaring for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver without the
Intervention Of any foreign nation. This
action is taken to mean that the Beadle
county Democrats, while they repudiate
the action Of their state convention at
Aberdeen, will not further protest but
unite with the Populists in the endeavor
to win some Of the minor offices.

have been discovered that should en-

be greatly due to chemistry utilizing

COMBINE WITH THE 500.
Western Roads May Get Even With
Eastern Lines.

Western roads are now talking of enter
ing into an alliance with the SCI in the
hope of getting back at the Joint Traffic
association for refusing to join with them
in meeting 500 rates out of St. Paul on
the wool traffic. The Western roads
propose to turn all the dairy product
traffic of Minnesota and the Dakotas oy-
er to the 500 at st. Paul, giving it all the
haul from that point to the seaboard, and
thus deprivfng the Joint TRAFFIC roads Of
any share in the haul. The traffic in dairy
products is now at its heighth. It is quite
important but still it would seem a very
roundabout method for the Western roads
to get revenge.
