In case the freak bill becomes a law,
there seems nothing for the Michigan

WHEN LAWYERS WERE SCARCE.
Gu ious Facts Shown By Census of Those En.
 titled to Practice Taken ini820.

D From the New York Sun.
 In the year 1920, under the. authority of the state of New York, an enumera- ton of the lawyers entitled, to practice at the state or local courts was made. The regulations for admission to, the bar at that time were simple and easy to comply with. Nevertheless there were found to be only, three lawyers on Staten Island, thirteen in Westchester, sixty in Albany and forty-five in Onon- daga. Monroe county had not attained the distinction which, it has had since the growth of Rochester into city and it had within its borders only seven teen lawyers; while Columbia county, which has since given to the bar of the state many learned jurists, had thirty two, and Duchess county fifty-two. The people of Long Island were even less inclined to litigation then than they are Row, for in the whole of Suffolk, county thare were six lawyers only, in Queens county there were but two, and in Kings courlty Git is very different now) there were three only.
 In Broome county there were five law yers, in Greene twenty -one, in Putnam three, in Steuben twelve, and in Tioga fourtes n; but perhaps the lawyer of that period who enjoyed what might in these days be called an easy snap was the enc member of the New York bar who resided in Orleans county. After 1920 there was a large increase of lawyers dn. New York state, and in 1884 they numbered 2084.

 Referring now to the program which is printed above, t will DC mterYsflhgi per haps, to trace the old schoolfe1laws of President Mckinley ir after life. Miss Lucy Kirkland married Dallas Mays, and her husband is, now .tEe I'rtsbyte- rian preacher in Poland. in the same pull pit once filled by the twa DT. McAlasters. Her husband Was tLe brightest boy In the school but has not fulfilled the promise of his youth Miss Jennie Lee is married to a successful physician of Youngstown, pr William Matthews; James H. Power, having served in the army, graduated in me medcine at Ann Arbor, and died in 1873. Alexander An derson went to tfe' bar in his native town in Sharon, Pa., and was the leader of the bar in Mercer c0unty when he died suddenly. If any member of the Everett Literary society had bsen marked for erninence by his fel- lows it would not have been Mckinley, but Anderson. Felix McCurley, who lost leg in the army, became clsrk of Mahoning county, and held that office for years. Miss Mansfield, who was CO., editress of the Star, went to live in Brooklyn, N. Y, with her brother, Maj. Mansfield, and l have not heard of them for years. The Misses Crane were daughters of a wealthy farmer, who went west, and they, too, are lost sight of. Of the debaters, Thomas Sexton and MT. Satterfeld became clergymen, and Clark Rice became a lawyer in the west. James Smiley Wightman went into busi- nsss as a glass manufacturer with his father in Pittsburg, and became rich. Henry Duncan went to Pittsburg as q clerk, and returned to be a shopkeeper in his native town. Alice Cross is the sister of the we'll known1who holesale drug gist, Leonidas Cross, of St. Louis and New York. She married in. Missouri. Lottie Truesdale, the faYerite of the school, married unhappily, and has dragged out a wretched life of poverty and want. Lizzie Woodruff, also a vil- lage beauty, and courted by all the boys and openly admired by Mckinley, mar ried Cecil Hine, Esq, a rich and sue cessful lawyer in Youngstown who was a schoolfellow of Hon. w. J. Calhoun in this same seminary. ~ef~ ss'f
 Major Mckinley, while he remained in Poland, was liked, but made much fun Of in a good-natured way. He was spoken of and even addressed as Major Pomposity, title given him in the heat of a debate by Alexander Anderson. It has clung to him locally Ito this day. For this unparlamentse eJ language, MT. Anderson was called promptly to ordsr by Dallas Mays, who was in the chair. Cauhoun and Hine, who are the other He af xuh come eminent, were in the literary so- eiety with Mckinley. and the friendship begun between these three continues, as warm as it was thirty-three years ago.

nered. Most of the other big cycle con- cerns will put chainl ss wheel on the market in 1898, but they will be maiu- factured under royalties.
 The Columbia is the first '9S chainless shown, and those made by other firms which will appear later may be an im- provement. The new wheel is the result of more than two years of experiments. Model after model and various systems of cutting the teeth of the bevel gear have been tried, and the entire machine has been tested thoroughly by seasons of rough riding.
 The points of superiority of the chain less wheel over the chain wheel, as claimed, are as follows:
 It is much easier to keep clean.
 Every movement is positive-no back lash.
 It has no links or teeth to "catch things"
 It will go faster and further with less effort.
 Its driving mechanism is always thor oughly fabricated
 It's motive parts are not affected by the weather-by rain, sleet, mud or dust
 Its bevel gears improve with use while chain d, tiorates from the first.
 It saves repairs, work and money, and increases the safety and delight of cy- cling.
 It removes the one serious source of danger that every bicycler realizes and substitutes confidence for dread.
 The weak part of a chain and sprocket bicycle is the chain. The bevel gear VIII outfast any other important part of the machine.
 The chainless wheel lacks the dramatic feature of a birth from one inventive brain. It was incubated, rather than in- vented, and the simple, seemingly tri- umphant mechanism Is a grand colla- boration of inventions and a composite of many chainless predecessors, that only saw the light to fail.
 The first suggestion in the mechanism Is its resemblance to the homely prln- ciple of the eggbsater. Indeed, the housewife beats eggs by the applica- tion of the very same principe. A cur sorry glarJce at a new wheel flashing by would reveal nothing, for the beveled gearing is incased in watch-tight, dust proof castings, and the wheel looks like any other whsel The pedals turn bevelsd cog, which in turn. acts on rod which extends tc the axle of the rear wheel. This rod dlas at each end a beveled cog, one fitting the cog on the axle of the pedal and thl
