FULL FLEDGED LAWYERS
FOURTEEN APPLICANTS GET
THEIR sHEEPsKINs
AFTER HARD EXAMINATIONS
List Of the New Esquires-Joke on
Candidate Who Had Been
Motioned To

It was a great day yesterday In the su-
preme court. Twenty-one candidates, fuil
of anxiety, law and hope, had to pass ,nelr
examination, in order to be admitted 10
practice. And they were not all very young
people. On the contrary a fair sprinKine
of gray hairs in heads that formerly hao
been let black or brown showed that some
of the gentlemen had already been In the
law business for several years at least.
It was reported that two young ladies
would be among the competitors, but tney
made no attempt to go through the ordeal
OF one of them a gentleman of African de-
scent said that she became suddenly SICK
with "nervious prosternation" and mad
concluded to await a more propitious occa-
sion.
The atmosphere was so laden with heat,
anxiety and volatile essence OF Blackstone
In Department one that 1t was painful 10
breathe. 1t was still more painful for some
of the candidates to have to answer the
questions put to them, but most of the dis
ciples came through the examination brill
liantly, and 1t was conceded on all sides
that the questions propounded by the JUS
tees were hard.
Out of the list of twenty-one fourteen
candidates were admitted. During the
morning hours and up to o'clock all
was suspense. Thereafter the unsuccess-
full candidates had disappeared and there
only remained those who knew that they
were now full-f1edged esquires, able to
earn fees as soon as they could get cli-
ents. Handshaking among these was gen.
eral All dull cares had been blown to the
winds and Joy reigned supreme In the su-
preme court. Jokes were in order now, and
a few were played off upon the lucky ones
who did not seem to mind 1t, after they were
explained.
One candidate walked into the clerks Of
flee and inquired. in a subdued voice. If
there was a sheepskin for him. They
joshed him. mo-" said the boys, there
is no diploma for you. You didn't pass
seer" But" returned the candidate, his
manner becoming humber as his hopes
grew less, somebody motioned to me-"
'Oh, motioned to you, somebody did, hey?
Why that meant Get out!-see? You don't
get no sheepskin here. boss" After they
had talked the poor fellow almost into
faint, they took away from him his SO,
made him swear to support the constitu-
ton and gave him license.
There was also the district attorney of
one of the mountain counties. He passed
his examination first rate and his claim to
sheepskin was admitted to be all the great
er because he has four sheep cases on ap-
peal in the supreme court from his own
county,
The fourteen new lawyers who were
found grounded we'll enough to try issues
at the bar are Sheridan A. Carlisle, Robert
O'Neal, Percy E. Fuller, James B. Redd,
Frank G. Hall, Robert G. Loucks. ]. W.

An Appreciated Present

Police Captain Roberts was the recipient
last evening of a handsome present from a
couple Of friends and admirers Of his
staunch patriotism. The gift was 3s-
calber Smith G. Wesson revolver Of the
latest pattern, upon the stock of which is
engraved the motto: Use me for honor S
sake but never disgrace me-" With par
donable pride the captain displayed the
handsome weapon, which will be of use to
him in his business. No finer gun Is car

The United States is the
fifth naval power in the
world. The navies of Great
Britain, France, Russia and
Italy rank ahead in the order
named. Germany and the
United States are about
tied.
Our present effective fight
ing force consists of four
battle ships of the first class
one battle ship of the second
class, two armored cruisers,
fifteen gun boats, six double
turreted monitors, one ram,
one dynamite gun boat, one
dispatch boat, one transport
and eight torpedo boats.
The Iowa weighs nearly
$1,000 tons, and as twenty
tons is the average load of a
freight car and twelve cars
is a good load for a locomo-
tive engine, it would take
fifty locomotives to haul the
great steel structure.
The powder used is brown
and in chunks the size of a
caramel. A charge for the
biggest guns weighs 500
pounds and is hoisted to the
breech of a derrick, the pow
der being sewed up in burlap
bags.
Armor plates are tested by
firing steel projectiles weigh
ing from 100 to 1.5OO pounds
at them from guns charged
with 500 pounds of powder
and alta distance of about a
city block.
Our battle ships have a
speed of from fifteen to seven.
teen knots an hour. Cruis-
ers make nineteen to twenty.
four knots, while the monl-
tors can travel only FIVE to
seven knots.
The biggest guns in the
navy are forty'nlne feet long
big enough for a man to
crawl into; four feet in
diameter at their largest part
and geigh lbs, 500 pounds or
thereabouts.
There are six rear admir-
ais in active service. The
Offices of vice admiral and
admiral are untitled, so there

Sixty.one merchant vessels
belong to the auxiliary navy,
These ships are subsidized
and by contract must be
given to the United States on
demand.
Some of the guns in the
navy can fire a shot twelve
miles, farther than a man
can see, for the guns are
aimed and sighted by ma
chinery.
The amount expended by
the Navy department in 1897
Sharp County record., 1898-04-22

department may be said to
date from October l3, ITS
when Congress authorized
the equipment of two cruis-
ers.
The fastest vessels in the
navy are the torpedo boats
Porter and Dupont, each of
which can travel 27.5 knots
an hour.
Battle ships cost from 2 -
million to 3 3.4 million dollars
and cruisers from $500, 900
to 3 million dollars. A good
torpedo boat costs over
S1OO, 900.
Battle ships are for the
heavy work; cruisers are
commerce destroyers; n1onl-
tors are useful only for coast
defense.
The Indiana could lie out
side Sandy Hook and throw
1,200-pound shots into New
York at the rate of four a
minute.
Those artists who show
smoke in their pictures of
naval battles are wholly
wrong. Smokeless powder
is used.
All of the cruisers are
named in honor of cities, and
the battle ships, except the
Kearsarge, in honor of
states.
The "grog' ration was
abolished in 1868, and since
then the crew has been for
bidden 10 drink whilsps'an'
duty. v
Marines are the police on
board ship. Originally they
were employed to prevent
mutiny among the sailors.
The guns of a battle ship
can carry from six to twelve
miles, hurling a shot weigh
ing half a ton.
Only 80 per cert of the
enlisted men are Americans,
and a smaller percentage yet
are native born.
Projectiles thrown by
naval gnns are shaped much
as the bullets shot by the
ordinary rifle.
A big battle ship has on
board an electric plant capa-
bic of lighting a town OF
5000 inhabitants.
The boilers of the Iowa
have a heating surface Of
eight acres and hold thirty
tons Of water.
Great Britain has 294 tor
pedoes and torpedo.boa
destroyers; d Uncle Sam has
only eight.
Five hundred and twenty
six men and forty officers are
required to man the cruiser
New York.
Battle ships are covered
with armor of nickel steel
from five to seven inches
thick,
We have four amored bat

BILE WAS GONE.
Story of Thanksgiving Turkey Din
ner Which Was Not Eaten.

81 remember the toughest Thanks
giving ever experienced" said an old
time conductor on the Santa Fe as he
settled himself in the dog house. of
the way car and addressed the rear
brakeman. Il was working on a con-
struction gang in the west when work
ing and living in that way was no snap.
We had been working a hundred miles
from no where for about three months
and when Thanksgiving came we were
determined to have a feast so we
bought a turkey about two months be-
fore and commenced to fatten him. We
had a Chinese cook and that heathan
took more pains in fattening that
turkey than he did to put meat on our
ribs. Finally Thanksgiving arrived and
we were all seated around the big pine
board table in the tent we used for
our mess. The cook brought in the
turkey and the boss spike driver tried
to carve him. He tried and tried and
the knife would make no impression so
he told Ching Wha to take the bird out
and bile" it some more. While the
beast was billing we waited and and
told stories. In twenty minutes the
cook brought the bird in again and once
more the boss spike driver tried to
carve it. Carve it would not so he sent
it out to be billed some more. Fact
was that bird was sent out to be 'biled''
so often that it was an all day job.
Finally after it had been billed" a
dozen times we tried to find out what
was the matter. We finally discovered
that one of the men had a box of liver
pills and that in some way the turkey
had gotten into them and eaten a. dozen
pills or more"
Il don't see what that had to do with
the turkey being biled,' said the rear
brakeman.
'FWhy the fact was the bird had
eaten so many liver pills that there
as he twisted up the brake for sta
ton.

BEGINS HIS CAMPAIGN
w. A. PETER Attacks Leedy and Stan
L ley and Scolds Topeka.

Ottawa, June 17.-Yesterday was tenn
perance day at the Ottawa Chautauqua
assembly, and Senator w. A. PETER
was the principal orator of the day. In
the course Of his address he took oc-
casion to roast Governor ]. w. Leedy
and w. E. Stanley, candidates for gov
ernor. He accused Governor Leedy of
knowingly permitting 40 Joints" to run
in Topeka He commented upon Mr..
Stanley's answer to the State Temper
ance unions question submitted to the
various candidates to the Hutchinson
convention. He said: There is not a
brewer in the country but would want
just such a man for governor. L have
no faith in any party enforcing the pro-
hibition law except one, and they are
like the AbOlitionists of half century
ago, only a handful of men,"
Rev j. e. DOugheTty, of Kansas City,
followed the senator, and among other
things he compared the Joints that
river towns, and said that the city of
Topeka was a prohibition town COM
pared with them. He said that IL they
kept on the business streets the air was
pure and the people were sober.
Whisky was only found by going into
alleys and backways. He wished there
were no town worse than Topeka.
EdisonS projectOscope is the greatest
entertainer at the assembly. Five thou
sand people were present last night to
see the views.
The rainy weather has interfered
with the attendance. 1t has only been
about one-half as large as last year.
The lectures are up to the high stand
ard of former years.

MAY CAUSE STRIKE.
Compliance With Anti-Screen Law
Likely to Reduce Wages

Pittsburg, Kan, June 1.-THE time
Us almost at hand when the coal opera
tors will either have to comply with the
anti-screen law or step out against it.
1t is altogether likely, however, that
the majority of them will comply with
the law, but a cut in the price of dig
cling will be made. With the anti
screen law in force operators claim
they cannot afford to pay the present
price. 1T means an increase of cents
per ton in the cost of producing coal, ."
said an operator, land there is not
company in the district that can stand
At The price paid now is 5S cents per
ton, on a mine run basis, and the ma
1ority Of the companies declare they
will not pay it, but will cut the price
for digging to As cents.
What result this will have remains
to be seen, for the miners do not ex-
press themselves regarding the matter
TO any great extent. The operators as
a class think it may be better for them
and all concerned to comply with the
law and do the best they can until the
meeting of the next legislature, when a
uniform screen law may be passed that
win, as nearly as possible, suit both the
miners and operators. One operator
said that, in his opinion, with the COM
pllance with the anti-screen law and
u . necessary cut in the price of dig
ging, a strike would be precipitated all
over the district.
