MUSE WINS A CASE.
Poetic Lawyer Sums Up in
Verse and Wins the Favor
of Jury and Judge.

MlTaDeau l.. lOWnS, lne pOet-laWyer,
burst into verse in summing up in the
action brought by Miss Bridget Langin
to recover $4,000 from the New York
and Brooklyn Bridge Trustees for dam
ages sustained in stepping from one of
the cars to the platform. This was the
third trial of the case, and the jury re-
turned verdict for $4,000 in favor of
the plaintiff.
The main feature in the case was the
expert testimony of DR.. Topham for the
defendant and DIR. Johnson for the
plaintiff. The opinions of the physi-
clans were in opposition, one contradict
ing the other as to the injuries and re-
suits.
Mr.. Towns, counsel for the plaintiff,
summed up the testimony and opinion
of the expert for the defendant so eff
fectively that the jury not only brought
in a verdict for the plaintiff, but re-
quested the poet-lawyer to send copy of
his address to each of them.
Justice Ward, who is sitting in the
Supreme Court, Part Ill, Brooklyn,
for the first time since his appointment
by Gov. Black about month ago, was
so highly pleased with Mr.. Towns
effusion that he requested him to dedi-
cate the poem to him.
This is part of Mr.. Towns summing
up:

looked her over carefully,

l saw no more than wanted to see.
Each of her ribs, or I'm no scholar,
Was good and sound as a 'daddy's dol
lar
I'll swear her kidneys were not weak,
She complained of pains, aches and what
not,
But that didn't change my opinion one
jot,
So when the poor creature ventured to
scope
With me, DIR. Topham, and my stetho-
cope,
For her, you'll see, there was little
hope,
She might scream in anguish till the end
of her breath.
My opinion, once formed, would hold un-
to death.
She fell through a hole clear up to her
Yes, that's quite fall, but it did her nc
harm.
In fact, if she'd fallen from Mount
Chimbaraizo
I'd say she's unhurt and continue to say
so.
Such fall from such height I'm free
to observe
Might break all her ribs hut neer injure
But I-hope to be seized with the dance OF
St. Vitus
If found on the plaintiff intercostal
neuritis.
So you might just as well stop question
ing me,

For I'm DIR. Topham and made up my
mind
Before saw Bridget just what would
fnd,
Such course is easy, it assists diagnosis
And simplifes matters for doctors knives

The attraction at the Buckingham for
the coming week is the favorite burlesque
company, "The Gay Masqueraders.
The last few seasons the business of this
company has been record breaker, and
the reason for its success is not far to
seek. "Merit" is the one word that does
the business. This season extra efforts
have been made to fulfill the expectations
of the public for this company, and
everything is bright, new and original.
Among the prominent people are
"Adgie" and her den of lions, a sensa-
tional act that has everywhere created a
perfect furore; McCale and Daniels,
Irish tourists, burlesque wrestleis and
boxers; the California quartet; Budd
Snyder, Americas champion trick bicy-
Gle rider; Brown and Camille, novel
instrumental aud musical act; the Clark
sisters, grotesque dancers; Mile de
Rossett, who figured as a heroine in the
late war; the Everett sisters in songs
and dances, and Lena de Couvier Canta-
ace. There is a grand first part
Columbia Forever" and concluding
burlesque entitled "The French Girl in
Greater New York, " with all new music,
special scenery and novel effects. The
costumes of this extravaganza were spe-
cially designed by Monsieur lie Perrier,
of Paris, and reflect the greatest credit
on his skill and judgment.
Black Patti Mime. Sissieretta jones'

1.-The Black PATHS Troubadours, who
will be seen at the Avenue Theater all
next week, an organization comprising

entertainment offered by this company

vaudeville and opera presented with APP
propriate scenery, elegant and costly
costumes and all the necessary stage sur
roundings requisite. for perfect and ar
tistic performance. "At Jolly Coney
Island, is the title of a merry and laugh
provoking skit, which serves as a cur
tain raiser and vehicle to give free reign
to the company's comedy and singing
forces. This travesty is followed by
great vaudeville olio and selections from
the various standard grand and comic
operas. The work of Black Patti and
the company have received the highest
marks of public approval, and the forth
coming performance here will doubt
lessly be highly appreciated.

JOSHUA S. SALMON, who has been
nominated for Congress by the Demo
Gratis of the Fourth District, is a well
known citizen of Morris county. residing
in Boonton, with law offices in Morris
town. Mr.. Salmon is a genial gentle
man who is held in respect by all who
know him.
He might make a very fair Congress
man to represent the silver mines of
Colorado, but he would be quite out of
place as the representative of a sound
money district like the Fourth, as the
following extract will show from the
last number of the Ne,c Jersey Herald of
Newton, one of the prominent Democra-
tic papers of this section: ''Mr. Salmon
has always taken very active part in
the politics of his county. In 1896 he
was an earnest supporter of William
j. Bryan and the Chicago platform
and made many able spe ches in his
own county in support of these

THE BATTLE BEGINS.

We shall ask indulgence this week, not
altogether because of the preponderance
of political matter in these columns, but
for the reason that considerable local
and other, interesting miscellany has
been unavoidably crowded out. This is
the opening epoch of one of the most i'm
portant political contests in the career of
the great parties opposed to each other,
and it is desirable that Republicans in
every part of the field shall enter the
conflict fortified and enlightened by the
unanswerable logic and convincing liter
AZURE of the partys claims for popular
support and continuance in power.
1t should be admitted. however, that
our space has been inadequate to print
much in this line that we desired to pro-
duce, and in extenso. The admirable de-
iverances of Hon. Foster M. Voorhees,
and John I. Blair Kelley, candidates re-
spectively for Governor and Member of
Congress from this district, will prove
effectual campaign documents at any
stage of the winning battle now SO well
begun by the Republican party, while
the no less timely and able speeches of
Messrs. Mahlon Pitney and Daniel S.
Voorhees, are printed on this page.

Credit is firmly established. Sound
money, protection and revenue walk
hand in hand. Besides all this the ma
ton has met one crisis in Hawaii, and
and other in Cuba. 1t has carried on
one of the shortest and most successful
wars in history. Victory has attended
its army and still more its navy, and the
country was never SO strong at home or
respected abroad. The recent popular
loan testifies to the trust which the peo-
Pile feel in our government Our national
industries, honor, courage and the bold
spirit of national Republicanism have
shown:their strength in war and in peace,
confronting the home and carrying the
flag in triumph abroad. But the battle
is not over. Our State must share in it.
Eight members of Congress are to be
elected, and the Legislature is to choose
a United States Senator. Not often, if
ever, in the history of the nation, has it
been so important as now to send wise
men of lofty patriotism to Washington.
Questions affecting the welfare of the
country for all time to come are to be
determined by the next Congress -ques-
lions growing out of the war that affect
our relations with other nations, and
QQ6SIlOQS ike lu0 CuFI6uCy ludb d1lSCt
this nation alone. The vital Importance
of such legislation is felt by every
thoughtful citizen. Not since the civil
war has the country been SO in need of
the service of its best men. Not since
LincoIn's day have we had in the Presi-
Dental chair leader possessed of such
masterful ability, such lofty patriotism,
such incompatible tact, such serene
courage. So superoly has he met the I'M
expected emergencies in our national
affairs that citizens of all parties and all
sections rise up to do him honor.
The Republican party calls upon the
people of New Jersey to elect for the
third time solid Republican delegation
to Congress, SO that the hands Of our
later Lincoln may be upheld by the
friends of his own household, that this
great country may be safely and wisely
led to that broader national life, upon
the threshold of which we stand.

That we re-affirm and endorse the

M'KlNLEY AT OMAHA.

The following are extracts from Presi-
dent McKinley's magnificent address at
the Omaha Exposition:
1.-THE heroes of Manila and Santiago
and Porto Rico have made immortal his
tory. They are worthy successors and
descendants of Washington and Greene,
of Paul Jones, Decatur and Hull, and of
Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Logan,
Of Farragut, Porter and Cushing, and of
Lee, jackson and Longstreet. y = =
sc The faith of a Christian nation
recognizes the hand of Almighty God in
the ordeal through which we have
passed. Divine favor seems manifest
everywhere. In fighting for humanity's
sake we have been signally blessed. We
did not seek war. To avoid it, if this
could be done in justice and honor to the
rights of our neighbors and ourselves,
was our constant prayer. The war was
no more invited by us than were the
questions which are laid at our door by
its results.
"Now as then, we will do our duty.
The problems will not be solved in day.
Patience will be required; patience COM
bined with sincerity of purpose and un-
shaken resolution to do right, seeking
only the highest good of the nation and
recognizing no other obligation, pursuing
no other path but that of duty.
.sRight action follows right purpose.
We may not at all times be able to divine
the future, the way may not always
seem clear, but if our aims are high and
unselfish, somehow and in some way the
right end will be reached. The genius
of the nation, its freedom, its wisdom,
its humanity, its courage, its Justice,
favored by Divine Providence. will make
it equal to every task and the master Of
every emergency"

AS to the Philippine problem, this is
not the first time the United States have
had to meet it literally and settle it with
a war against the Latin. Possibly some
of our younger inhabitants have forgot
