LATE SIR LOCKWOOD.
characteristics of One of England's
Most Brilliant Advocates of
The Bar.

Most Brilliant Advocates of
The Bar.
Sir Frank Lockwood, the English
Barrister who died in London OH
Sunday, had the reputation in his
country of being the first English
man to come to America who could
joke on the spot and immediately, so
TO say, 90 it one better. For this
reason, II for no other, his popularity
in this country was greater than that
Of any Englishman who ever came
over here. In the summer of 1896
he visited the United States in com
pany with Lord Russell CSir Charles
RusselD to attend the meeting of the
National Bar Association at SaratO-
ga. His was one of the principal adj
dresses at the meeting, and at the
banquet his was one of the most fell
citious speeches. He had great
fund Of anecdotes and stories, and in
addition to being able to tell new
story well, had the rare gift Of dress
ing up an old story SO that it passed
almost for new
Aside from his ability as an after
dinner speaker, by which he was best
known in this country, his standing
as lawyer of England was very
high. BY many he was considered
the best jury lawyer in England,
and If he had rival in this particu-
lar line Of practice it was only Lord
Russell, r, I, Reid, who was solicit
tor general under Lord Roseberry's
ministry, once said of him:
''Since the withdrawal of Sir Chas.
Russell TO a more serene atmosphere
Sir Frank Lockwood, was the most
brilliant advocate at the English
BAR"
This was year after Lord Russell
had been elevated to the bench and
had been made life peer. Lock
wood was not considered the equal
of Russell as an all-around lawyer,
but as a trial lawyer he was said 10
be without a peer. When Sir Chas.
Russell became a peer, large part
of his practice fell to Lockwood.
1t has been said of him that when
he went at hostile witness he did
it much in the manner of man in
viting another one TO dinner.
Through the keenest cross-questions
he preserved his imperturbable good
nature and politeness, and more Of
ten than not, long before he had
finished, his victim was looking on
him as kind and sympathetic
friend.
He was man Of broad and liberal
tastes, devoted TO art in it's various
forms, He was always to be seen
at private views and at the leading
first nights. He was favOrite in
society and in various clubs. He
represented York in the parliament
on the Liberal side, and while he
never took leading part in the
work of that body, he often enlivened
dull debates with his wit and humor.

When he marched down to the foot

him. The drawer of the capital prize
would have been Napoleon Bryan and
not Napoleon Mckinley. u 5s43a..
But he failed-and herin is matter
for reflection. If, when the young
General Napoleon swooped down up-.
on the National assembly, some one,
hac hit him on the head and given him
the coup de grace; II hiss heart had
failed him, as some say it did; II, in
point Of fact, for any cause he had
missed the precise mark he was aim

leon of Nebraska take the lesson to
heart and not be overconfident Of the
future, having had his chance in the
drawing, and come away carrying a
blank. Rarely, indeed, may man
fall twice from balloon and live. Y
No, no, Mr. Bryan, you are still but
a novice. Like Mr.. Gilberts young
gentleman in Pinafore, you mean well,
but you don't know. If you live long
enough you will learn that the brave

A LITTLE SUFFERER

Face, Hands and Arms Coveres With
.ScrofuIous Humors How . Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form Of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. Aiser disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned.s

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS

WASHINGTON, July 4.-The out
look for the week in the senate is quite
uncertain There is every probability
that the tariff bill will be passed. but
whether early or late In the week is
by no means certain. The various pro
visions for stamp tax, for a beet su-
gar bounty and for the suppression of
trusts threaten to develop considera-
BILE debate, and there Is prospect Of
general speeches by Senators Bate.
Mills, Chiffon, Allen and others. Sem
ator Allison has given notice of an
effort to secure night sessions Monday
or Tuesday. The present Indications
are that there will be determined
effort to force the committee on finance
to restore the sugar bounty provision
and upon the success or failure of
this effort probably will largely de-
pend the length of time yet to be con-
sumed in the senate.
When the tariff bill comes over to the
house this week the programme is to
send it Immediately to conference. The
minority will make no opposition to
this if the Republicans will assure
them reasonable" time ifor debate
when the bill is reported back by the
conferees. To this the Republican lead
ers express their assent, though no
determination has yet been made of
too long a reasonable" time. Mr..
Bailey thinks three or four days will
be sufficient. In view of the fact that
the bill may return to the house any
day, the order for sessions only on
Mondays and Saturdays will probably
be revoked tomorrow, or recess will
be taken from day to day until the bill
passes the senate.
The Republican members Of the SEN
ate committee on finance held a con-
ference today and decided to offer no
more amendments to the tariff bill and
also not to reintroduce the beet sugar
amendment. 1t is understood how

PEOPLES PARTY CYCLONES.
Predicted That They Will Rage in
the Nashville Convention Today.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July AT a
meeting of the committee appointed at
Memphis to call the conference of ;he
Peoples party which meets here tomor-
row, F. D. w. Mays presided, and Joe
A. Parker acted as secretary. ]. S.
CoXey and others were present The
object of the meeting was to map out
a programme. A large number of dele
gates have arrived, and many are
scheduled to come on late trains to-
night. Congressman M. H. Howard, of
Alabama; John Seites, of Ohio and NJ
Cyclone" Davis is expected before the
conference adjourns.
There seems to be a great deal of
uncertainty concerning the attendance
of Tom Watson and Senator Butler,
and opinion is about evenly divided as
to their attendance. Those here, while
they discuss what the convention
should do quite freely, do not seem
agreed upon what it will 10, though
the prevailing idea seems to be party
reorganization in order to put an end
to dissatisfaction which has arisen in
the party on account of occurrences
within the past year. 1t is expected
that the sessions may be somewhat
stormy, but no action can he taken ex-
cept the adoption of resolutions, though
some, including F. w. D. Mays, think
1t not improbable that resolutions critf-
cising the actions of soma mer,ber, Of
the national committee will be adopt-
ed.
The anti-fusion sentiment is strong
and whatever action Is taken it is be-
lieved will be in favor Of Independence
and against the fusion.

as known, no people were victims.
Throughout the day the atmospheric
conditions were ominous, the air being
suffocating, and times of calm being
suddenly interrupted by frequent gusts
of wind. This continued at intervals
up to 6 o'clock p. M, when a terrific
hail storm occurred, accompanied by
wind blowing at the rate of forty miles
an hour. The hailstones, or rather
chunks of ice, were very large, some
of them six to eight inches in circum-
ference by actual measurement. The
window glass unprotected on the west
side Of the buildings was broken.
This hail storm was followed by
deluge of rain, which, together with
the hailstones, has seriously affected
the crops.
Just previous to the hail storm heavy.
dense banks Of clouds, accompanied
by great electrical display and con-
tlnuous deafening thunder, formed at
the south and west of Princeton, maxi
ing two distinct storm centers and ap-
preaching each other from the west
and south. These storm centers were
driven by powerful winds and came
together and merged at a point about
three and a half miles southeast of
Princeton and formed clouds of i'm
penetrable darkness, brought together
by the winds. In twinkling the i'm
mense cloud crossed and recrossed
with a slight twisting and whirIine
motion, having quick and spasmodic
upward tendencies. Suddenly the SIR
rounding clouds came rapidly together
into the center, as if filling a vacuum
and with an increased upward, twist.
ing movement gave the body of the
cyclonlc formation a dark dense col
orlng, fringed on the outer edges with
lighter, hazy, greenish hue.
In the meantime a decidedly funnel
shaped cloud was formed with the mar
row lower portion extending to the
earth, and the clouds forming the fun
nel-shaped appearance whirling with
inconceivable rapidity with a noise re-
sembling a train of cars passing
through a tunnel. The making of this
tornado was a grand spectacle, as it
demonstrated the wonderful and pow
erful forces of nature, and afforded
an opportunity of Witnessing a rare
phenomenon.
From this point of commencement
the cyclone moved rather slowly at
first in an easterly direction for a
short distance, when it turned at an
obtuse angle in a northeasterly direc-
ton toward the village of Princeton.

ever, that the committee will make no
united or determined effort to prevent
the acceptance of the amendment as
offered by Mr.. Allen, but that Repub-
lican senators will be left free to sup
port 1t or not as they may see fit The
indications now are that a majority Of
them will support the amendment not
withstanding the committees action
in withdrawing it. 1t appears that the
bounty provision was authorized by
one Of the Republican caucuses and
that many Republican senators feel
bound on this account to stand by the
provision even though it be offered by
the opposition. The Democrats, how
ever, will oppose the amendment de-
terminedly. The situation is full of
many possibilities, and the end cannot
be, predicted until this question is
solved.

Every fence and farm building-ovel
twenty Of the latter-has been entirely
obliterated, and of some of them not
even vestige can be found. In addition
to the farm buildings, a school house
was in it's path, which shared the sama
fate, and considerable stock has been
killed. Great loss of property has been
the result, and many families are
made destitute, of whom the people
Of Princeton are taking care. So far
as learned, no loss of life has occurred
as the tornado could be seen coming,
which fortunately the time of day per-
mitted. The crashing noise which 1t
made warned those in its path to seek
cellars and other places of safety.
This is the first cyclone that ever oc-

far as known. 1t is extremely fortu-
nate that it's course was in a thinly-
settled portion of the country, where
the lands were more used for grazing
than for agricultural purposes; and
still more fortunate in that it passed
sufficiently far south Of this village
that but only a few shade trees were
broken. Had it passed through the
village the loss of life and property
would have been appalling.

CARLTON, Mimi, July 4.-Friday
nights storm did much damage here
on the st. Paul & Duluth and North
ern Pacific tracks. A wing Of Paine's
dam broke, and all of the logs in the
pond went out. The south end of town
is under water, but rapidly subsiding.
About 100000 feet of logs that got
