FOUGHT IN COURT.
Attorney 0'Oonnor Nearly Knocked Attor-
nan Willin r,a ONT This Mnrninn

Attorney 0Connor Nearly Knocked Attor-
ney Williams Out This Morning.
John A. O'Connor and A. ]. Will
liams, two local attorneys, had an
alteration in the Thirty-seventh
District courtroom this morning,
while court was in session, and
were each fined $50 by Judge
Green.
The trouble was about the Hoov-
er divorce suit, which was disposed
Of before Judge Green yesterday.
Mrs. Hoover had engaged Mr.. Will
liams to bring the suit, but he
went to Mexico and she thought
he had abandoned the case. She
then gave the case to Mr.. OCon-
nor, who had it taken up yester-
day.
Mr.. Williams has since returned
from Mexico, and this morning
met Attorney Nat. b. Jones, who
is with OConnor, and told him
that he was Mrs. Hoover's attor-
ney. Mr.. Jones explained the mat.
ter to him and then Mr.. Williams
went to Mr.. O'Connor, who was in
the courtroom at the time, and
proceeded to roast him.
He said he was scabbed out OF
and that they are try
ing to do the same thing here now.
He said he could entertain Mr..
OConnor about four hours and
called him a hard name.
Mr.. OConnor thereupon strHck
Mr.. Williams in the face with q
drive from the shoulder and sent
him staggering. Order was imme-
diately restored and the court pro-
ceeded with the business before it.
Mr.. 0'Connor says he has no
hard feelings toward Mr.. Williams,
and the latter admits that he was
a little too hasty. Both regret that
it occurred.
ANOTHER SCRAP.

and James Raley had some words
yesterday about a punishment

Maddox-Angle case. AS the men

WHAT A PROPOSITIONS

The Populist party, by its national
committee, has issued manifesto to
the people of the United States in which
general invitation is extended to be-
come active members of that party.
The committee assumes that the virtue
and intelligence of the country should
gravitate to its party as naturally as
duck takes to water, but notwithstand-
ing that fact the invitation is issued.
The manifesto assumes, too, that 1t Is
the duty Of Democrats everywhere to
promptly put themselves at the COM
mand of the leaders Of the Populist
party because of the distinguished
honor conferred upon them by the ac-
ton Of the St. Louis convention In in
dorsing the nomination Of Mr.. Bryan.
The manifesto makes no mention Of the
cooperative and division of-the-spoils
of-office agreements which were made
between Populists and Mckinley Re-
publicans, but perhaps the less said
about that bit of treachery the better
for the good name of Chairman Butler
and his staff of mixers ay.~-fixers.
Later on it will be an historical fact
that had the Populists turned out in full

WOMEN WHO STUDY LAW.
The Class at the New York University
Begins Its Seventh Year

The woman's law class of the New
York university entered upon it's sew
enth year yesterday morning, the exer-
cises being held In the university build
ing, in Washington square. Among those
present on the platform were the chan
cellor Of the university. the Rev. DIR.
Henry MacCracken; the president of
the Woman's Legal Education society,
Mrs. John P. Mum; the vice-president.
Miss Helen Miller Gould; the dean of
the law faculty. Prof. Clarence d. Ash
ley; the lecturers, Prof. Isaac Franklin
RUSSELL Miss Haggerty, Mrs. Werner
(Miss Stanleyette Titus) and Mrs.
Smith. All were in academical caps and
gowns. Mrs. Mum presided.
Addresses were made by Mrs. Mum,
Chancellor MacCracken. Dean Ashley
and Prof. Russell. Mrs. Mum and the
chancellor welcomed the incoming class
on the part of the university and the
Woman's Legal Education society, and
the chancellor expressed his pleasure in
being able. as the representative of the
university. to cooperate with the soci-
ETY. in it's endeavors to extend legal
knowledge among women.
Prof. Ashley spoke of the Importance
of the work of the Woman's Legal Edu-
cation society.
THE class affords to woman" he said,
IAN opportunity to acquire legal knowl-
edge in a pleasant way and without any
publicity, and legal knowledge is some
thing which every woman sooner or lat
er is sure to need. II may be said that
when a necessity arises they can con-
suit lawyers or friends, but advice will
be of no use to them unless they can I'M

WORTH THINKING ABOUT

With the announcement of the election
business in all the lines of trade and in
dustry. Hanna and the other Repub
lican bosses said that if their candidate
was elected, the Industries would begin
Immediately to build fires in their fur
naces and invite idle labor to come and
accept remunerative employment But
If Bryan was elected, the industries and
all other employers of men would lock
their mills and factories tighter than
ever, and the sources of money supply
be drawn down to the narrowest possible
point. Mr.. Bryan was not elected, and
the business distresses that were to fol-
low passed by on the other side, and the
sun of prosperity is beginning to shine
on hilltop and in valley. Mr. Hannas
prediction of what would follow upon
the heels of McKinley's election was AS
if by an inspired prophet, and so we must
conclude that had Bryan been elected
his prediction of what would follow was
equally we'll a true forecast of coming
events.
But Mr.. Hanna is no prophet, nor is he
an inspired man. Then how did he know
so well what the effect of McKinley's
election and what the effect of Bryan's
election would have upon the business
world? There Is just one solution of the
problem. For several months past there
has been a squeezing of money borrow
ers, of those having bills payable fall
ing due, and of those who stock up
from the manufactures on the usual
number of days of credit. Meanwhile it
was freely given out that if Mckinley
was elected. all distractions to the free
course of business operations would be
removed, but that If Bryan was elected
difficulties would multiply in the chan
nels Of business.
Now, the only conclusion that can he
arrived at is that deliberate conspiracy
against the people was formed to rule or
ruin. There was just as much money
ready for employment before as after
the election. The legitimate demand
for goods ard wares was as pressing
then as now. Mr.. Cleveland is still pres
ident. ard the Democratic tariff act IS
still in full operation. Mr.. Mckinley
will not be inaugurated until next March,
and should special session of congress
be called, new tariff act could not be
put in operation before the last of 1897.
Therefore, the mere election of Mckinley
could have no effect upon the existing
conditions in the business world. These
things show the source of Hanna's
prophecies. There was a conspiracy n
do certain things in the event of McKin
ley's election. and certain other things
in the event of Bryan's election. The
people. are to determine iust lou, 80.

THE HAMMOCK GIRL

A hammock from tree depending,
Or swinging meath veranda's shade,
A girl therein full of bewitchment-
A fascinating summer maid.
These are the conditions that enslave me,
A willing captive to her charms.
Though Cupid's ready to betray me,
l laugh aloud at Loves alarms.
Her grace is attitudinizing,
Would charm an artist eye to see;
Can I feel less its subtle power
Because the posings just for me?
The hammock's like a swinging censor
That richly perfumes all the air.
For. tucked within her belt cluster
OF mignonette lies breathing there.
We talk. but not in Anglo-Saxon
Our words are wrought OF speeches
signs.
Or from another well known language
That best interprets through the eyes.
Around her waist the shadows nestle.
The breeze plays coyly with her hair,
And--could I leave such fond caressing
Alone TO phantoms and the air?

A summer idyl Of two idlers-
Is not the picture here complete?
