Mr.. Corbett says the punch over his

of dyspepsia from which he had been
suffering. 1t was pretty severe medi-

that disease. There are thousands who
would be glad to go into a priZe-fght
with such cure in view; but, such is
the power of their misery, the profes-
sional puncher would be very likely
to get knocked out in half the cases.

Mr.. Choate reiterates the proposition
that the law is the noblest profession,
and remarks in defense of the fact that
LAWYERS defend criminals whom they
know to be guilty and have them &C
quilted, if possible, by breaking the
law. 1T is only out of the contest OF
facts and of brain that the right can
ever be evolved-only on the anvil of
dieussion that the spark of truth can
be struck out But far more frequent
" it is the truth that is struck in; and
again. would lawyer defend pow
erty-stricken criminal known to be
guilty through respect for truth and
the moralities? Then. too, the medical
and some other professions have few
claims that ought to be recognized.

The war against gum-chewing begun
by Bishop Vincent of the Methodist
Episcopal church is the result of too
much thought on very cheap sub
ject The bishop thinks that to resist
gum is to prepare the young for self
sacrifice of a more important kind. If
they forego gum they will omit liquor,
and if they let that alone they will
let alone other things equally as bad.
1t is logic, but it is foolishness. And,
strange as it seems, the bishop is &C
tually in earnest.

What is golf? A queens counsel
lately thus irreverently defined the
game for the benefit of the English
judge who was hearing case involv-
ing the playing of golf: Il believe,
my lord. that the game of golf is played
in irregular fields or waste grounds
with a small ball which the player
tries to hit with stick. If he sue
ceeds in hitting the ball he spends the
rest of the day in looking for it," To
the solemn-faced golfer this description
of the pastime must seem like trihing
with serious subject.

ALL WERE THERE.
A Conference of All Those Directly
Concerned in Conducting the War,
Held at the White House.

Washington, May 26.-An important
conference of high officials was held
with the President at the White House
to-day. Among those present were
Secretaries Long and Alger, General
Miles. Adjutant General Corbin and
Captains Mahan and Crowninshield,
and Admiral Sicard CT the naval STRAIT
egg board The conference lasted sew
eral hours, but none of the participants
was willing to speak of the matters un.
der discussion. 1t was the first time
the strategy board had joined the other
officials in a conference with the Pres
ident and the whole field of military
and naval operations present and pros
pective, was gene over. There is rea-
son to believe that notwithstanding
this reticence a movement on Porto
Rico is IN contemplation, and should
it appear that the Spanish fleet is in
Santiago harbor, as believed active OPP
erations will begin in the near future
against Cuba. Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines. This is believed tC be the
Presidents purpose in calling for $4,000
additional volunteers, and it is said to
be not unlikely that other calls will be
made as rapidly as the troops can be
equipped until the effective force of the
army will be sufficient to make short
work of the Spanish forces wherever
and whenever encountered.

A BELLAIRE CASE
Passed Upon by the Circuit Court, Sitting
at Steubenville.

Special to the Register.
STEUBENVILLE, o., May 26-To-day
the circuit court here, on application of
A. P Tallman, of Bellalre, issued an or
der allowing alternative writ of manda-
mus in the case of the First National
Bank of Bellaire VS.. Hon. j. w. Hollings-
worth as Common Pleas Judge of Bel
mont county. The writ is issued against
Judge Hollingsworth ordering him upon
service of same to proceed to pass upon
and decide plaintiffs motion for a new
trial, and that the clerk of the court of
Belmont county strike the entry made in
the case at issue from the journal or show
cause why he does not do So The case
grows out of a decree in favor of the
First National Bank of St. Clairsville, in
an action wherein Tallman & Armstrong,
assignees of Thomas Ault, were plaintiffs
and the banks above named were defend
ants, the court holding that the st. Glars
VILE bank had the first lien. The Bell
aire bank filed a motion TO set aside said
judgment, but the judge did not pass upon
the motion until after court had adjourn
ed. Some time after adjournment, court
ordered the clerk to enter upon the jour-
nal overruing the motion. which it is
claimed was enormously and improperly
made for the reason that the court was
not in session. and they were thereby
prevented from fling the bill of excep-
tons within proper time to take the case
to the higher court.
