Anecdotes Of Joseph H. Choate,

Joseph H. Choate, the famous lawyer
and after-dinner wit is to be the guest
of honor at the Chicago Bar Association
Friday and the Chicago Times-Herald
complies a two-cOlumn sketch of his
career and some of his witticisms.
Among the stories are these two: 1t has
always been the custom of Chicago
lawyers of note in making pilgrimages
to New York to call on Mr.. Choate.
These calls have been the genesis OF
many good stories. One Of the stories
is tackled to a call made by William
Fitzhugh Whitehouse, who has since gone
TO London to live. Mr.. Whitehouse, digni-
fed to a point approaching pomposlty en-
tered the office and started to introduce
himself
Mr.. Choate," he said, II am Mr.. Will
liam Fitzhugh Whitehouse Of the firm
Of
Have a chair" said Mr.. Choate with
a Chesterheldian bow to the visitor, who
was making most elaborate and formal
effort TO impress Mr.. Choate.
"Son of Bishop Whitehouse, Bishop of
the diocese Of continued the stranger,
failing to note that part Of his identifica>
ton had been lost, and fastening on to
bring the balance of his personal descrip-
ton"
Then have two chairs" suggested Mr..
Choate with more grace and bending I'M
ill his hands almost swept the floor In
their majestic sweep.
The Chicago man was squelched.
Choate, Speaker Reed and Wolcott were
talking in the rotunda of the Capitol the
other day. Choate was lecturing Wolcott
on the habits which might bring old age
and the other habits which bring success
to young men-Wolcott being not very old.
He told Wolcott the secrets of his own
splendid health and physique.
You ought to take better care of your
SELF he said zone of the great helps
10 success in this day and age is regu-
larity of habit. Look at me. I never
eat too much; I never drink more wine
than a gentleman should, and 1 have
never missed good nights sleep in my
life"
We'll wish could say that" sighed
Wolcott.
"Why don't you-why don't your" Chin
ed in Reed IF Choate can afford to
say that, guess you can spare the time
to do So too"

The people of the West are beginning to

true that Letters big wheat deal has had

a better price for their grain; but besides
the farmers, there are Others" and the

senator Lindsoy,s Answer.

The Kentucky legislature will not find
much that Is comforting in the remarks
which Senator Lindsay made in the Senate
in answer to its demand for his resigna-
ton. He said he was not an agent of the
Legislature. and that it had gone beyond
its authority in demanding his resigna-
ton. The ground upon which the demand
was made, namely, that he is opposed to
the free coinage of silver at the ratio of
IS to l. he regarded as ridiculous, mainly
for the reason that when he was chosen
senator in 1894. his views on the silver
question were well known, and have not
undergone any change. He was the unan-
imous choice of the Democratic caucus.
Hence, he has reason to believe that he
and his party in Kentucky were in accord
at that time on the silver question. If they
are not in accord now the fault is not his.
He is not bound to change his views upon
great national question every time there
is a change in the sentiment of his party
in his state on that question.
The senator said that he represented the
people of Kentucky, not the legislature of
that state, and he animated that the ma
mony with him on the silver question-at
least the state cast all but one of its cleo
toral votes in the last Presidential cam
paign against the IS to 1 idea
What annoyed the senator the most, how
! ever, was his belief that the action of the
| legislature was a movement to create a
vacancy in the Senate in the interest of
some one who is anxious to get his seat.
He did not mention ex-senator Blackburn.
but there isn't any reason to doubt that he
had him in mind. Mr.. Blackburn is very
anxious to get back into the Senate. His
long public career units him for any occu-
patton in private life. He wants to hear his
voice in the debates IN the Senate again
The outlook for his return TO that body
| however,-is not very encouraging. Sena-
tor Lindsay's term will not expire until
1901 and Senator Deboe's not until 1893
Great political changes may take place be-

of public life, younger men may take the

people of Kentucky. It is not at all strange.

TO make use Of every opportunity to put
him back in the Senate. Senator Lindsay.
however, isn't going 20 stand aside for
him, even though the legislature
should make a dozen demands for his res
ignation. AS a matter of fact. in demand
ing his resignation, the legislature went
outside of its authority. The legislature of
New York would make a similar mistake
if it should pass the pending resolution de-
handing Senator Murphys resignation.
Legislatures sometimes do things which
cause the people to lose respect for them.

The fortitude shown by Miss Dix In

On Wednesday morning Mre. Bailey
and Miss Lyons spent their "visitin g
half day" among the other schools and
were we'll entertained.
On Friday afternoon the 5th grade
had q geography match on the coun-
tries of Europe, in which the pupils
taking part were greatly interested.
Those who excelled were: Lettie Bush
ong, Milton Shedd, Let Gallagher,
Hiram Gallagher, Helen Ford. and
Sam Darr.
Mrs. Kate Moore Brown, who work.
ed SO long and successfully In the
music department., still gladdens the
hearts of teachers and pupils by con-
tinuing to act in her old capacity q
part of the time.
The regular work has gone we'll, and
the special feature of the month-the
Thanksgiving work-continues. Next
week the Mesa school will hold to it's
established custom of having the pu-

ferring 1t upon Patterson.
''The opposition put Charley Patter-
| son on the witness stand. We brought
witnesses here to impesch his charac-
ter. and yet they made no effort to re-
flute their evidence. Was it because
| they likened Charley to q rotten mack
, erel in the moonlight, as did John
Randolph of Roanoke In speaking of
Henry Clay q character-that it shines
and stinks?'
The speaker reviewed the testimony
ct each witness in turn and in passing
heaped explosives upon Chambers. He
| said he was satisfied that Judge Fall
vey, Waters Davis and Attorney Stan
ton knew nothing about the WITNESSES
reputation or they would never have
permitted him to testify and he would
have gone to Jail rather than on the
witness stand,
Continuing, the speaker sa!d:
wallace said Burns wanted the fact
that he had willed bis property to Pat
terson concealed. Wallace told five
separate and distinct persons about the
will. He violated the secrets of his
client, went gadding around telling
about 1t, and now they say that Burns
himself lied to his friends in order to
keep it secret. Yet 1t was made public
property by the attorney who wrote 1t.
But few attorneys would have done
such thing. venture to say Judge
Falvey would lose his right arm rather
than divulge the secret of his client.
BLOOD is thicker than the ink you
forge wills with. Burns and Lamb
were born Of the same mother; rocked
hesrthstone. When the old man was
nearing his end and his mind was dark
ening at the approach of the eternal
night, what was more natural than
that his thoughts should revert to the
scenes of his childhood and to
the folks of his own blood across
the ocean and that he
should have talked to his friends and
family physician about his two little
for their welfare.
"a paper reeking with fraud has
been brought into this court and your
honor is now asked to deprive Jim
Burns's blood kin of their Inheritance
and bcstow 1t upon another. Let the
laws of nature and Of the great state of
Texas take their course and let the ma
tural heirs get their Dues"
1t was near noon when Mr.. Burgess
closed his speech. He was followed by
Judge Falvey who commenced by ar
gutng a number of law points and bad
not fairly warmed up when court took
recess for dinner.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the afternoon session of court
Major Falvey continued his arguments.
He read from many law books and at
times made a few remarks by way of
comment
According to his conte q ton all the
oral declarations tending to show that
Burns intended leaving his property to
his Irish kin should have been ex-
cluded and we're not admissible.
{ Mayor Falvey will doubtless consume
the'greater portion of the afternoon in
speaking. He is to be followed by
Judge COldwell, and M. w. Stanton
will close the argument.

and tells the story OF its capture.
