Fees of Lawyers.

Lawyers have different way of
reckoning the value of their serv-
ices from almost any other class Of
professional men or tradesmen. Fees
which reach the $4,000 mark have
fallen to the lot of Pittsburg law
yers, and, according to gentleman
who claims to know. one once re-
ceived a fee of 100000.
This same person related several
interesting incidents in connection
with the receipt of large fees by
Pittsburg attorneys. On one occa-
sion a prominent iron manufacturer
of the city engaged an attorney to
go to New York and argue a case
in which $3.50, 0O0was involved. The
attorney spent one evening looking
up the case, went to New York the
next day, and on the next after that
argued the case and won the suit.
Returning to Pittsburg, he sent the
iron manufacturer "a bill for $12, 900.
The latter gentleman became very
indignant at what he considered an
outrageous charge and made very
strong representations to the attor.
ney on the subject. The attorney
said:
"All right, Mr.. -, that is my
bill. If you won't pay it, let it go.
! will not sue you either. ] never
have to sue my clients. :"
The iron manufacturer thought
over the matter for a few days and
then sent a check for the amount

TREASURES OF MEMORY.
Long years ago when we were yOuns

Long years ago when we were young
Life was pleasant dream,
And fancy her bright flowers threw
Upon sweet memory's stream.
We thought upon the future then
AS beautiful and fair,
And sitting by the rivers side 1
Built castles in the air.
Oh, we were light and joyous them
Yes, happy as the day
The very sunbeams seem d to laugh
To see us look so gay.
Don't you remember how you told
Sweet tales of fairy lore,
How some brave knight would giants slay,
His mistress to restore2
How we in our pure innocence
Believed them to be true
You from your childish, guiltless faith,
/ from my trust in you
And how said in years to come
Well live beside that stream,
And all the while the sunbeams laughed,
So glorious was our dream.
Long years have passed. and yet you might
Believe in fairies still,
For smooth has been your stream of life
AS some low forest rill.
Your hopes of faith and truth and love
Still Ger your pathway shine,
While sorrows waves within their depths
Have deeply buried mine.
And while you in your trusting heart
Your innocence retain
Mine has )een wrecked amid the shoals
OF riches and of fame.

The sKILLFUL diplomacy of Admira

least of the many sources of satisfac,
ton in ''the late war" This country
fares as we'll by the war as if Manila
had surrendered before the cessation
of hostilities, yet by quietly waiting
Dewey saved many lives. The same
thought applies with the same force
to Gen. Shafter, who by enough fight
ing to thoroughly defeat the Span

accomplished as much as if he had
carried Santiago by storm and had
sacrificed many more lives. War is
horrible, but how grand a victory for

Unexpected Testimony.

A farmer had an old holse that he
wanted to sell, so, having doctored
it up to make it appear as young as
possible, he soon found purchaser.
The latter before taking away the
horse told the farmer that he should
like to ask the carter question or
two. Imagine the surprise of both
buyer and seller when that worthy,
in reply to a question as to the quail
ties of the horse, blurted out:

The TRIBUNE was an "ante-imper-

Baby Broke cut w In Scrofula Sores.
SEAT the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external APP
plications that we could think or hear of,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on haby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. I also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign of those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparills, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health

Events have moved swiftly during
the past four months. 1t was only
four months ago that this country was
considering declaring war against
Spain and many of us thought the
war would never really come about
Then W hen war was declared, there
were many good and patriotic citizens
who beheld with many misgivings
the spectacle of our country engag-
ing a nation Of the old world, with all
the complications which might de-
Eelop.
But the American people have, as
ever, proved themselves equal to the
occasion. Spain has been Inundated
and her power of resistance utterly
broken The object Of the war has
been accomplished in the liberation
of Cuba, but under divine direction,
this nation has been led into the do
ing of much more. The governing
of Porto Rico, Hawaii, Manila and the
reconstruction of Cuba is now the
duty laid upon this people.
Here, in fact, the genius of the
American people should rise to the
new occasion. Bryce, in his ''Ameri |
can Commonwealth" said that this
people could succeed with any form
of government; now it remains to be
proven that the principles of liberty
can be applied under any sun to the
upbuilding Of any people. This is
the task which now lies before us as
nation Cuba is at present not fit to
govern itself, but under American
guidance the people must be educat-
ed, the land, devastated by war must
be reclaimed, good order and civil
government must be restored and an

PUBLIC OPINION
CONGRESSMAN EDDY.
RetIected ~ Exchanges

| Unless the voters of the Seventh
congressional district desire to be
totally without representation in the
Fifty-sixth congress, they will see to
it that Congressman Frank M. Eddy
is returned. Twice since it's creation
this district has sent up a populist
representative, or something conforming
as closely to that character as it is pos
sible to designate under present
party alignments. In each case it
found reason to regret its action, and
later atoned for it by the election and
reelection of republican. Mr.. Eddy
is one of the very ablest men in the
Minnesota delegation which is to say
one of the best men sent up from the
Northwest, and he has given stand
ing and character to a district which
was identified in the Eastern mind
with the bacl,woods of Arkansas and
the Blackfoot district of Missouri.
Without disparagement to his OPP
ponent, whom it would be no great
compliment to designate as one of
the best men in his party, the defeat
of Mr.. Eddy would be a calamity to
the Seventh district. No new man
not even republican can do much
in the next congress, which will
devote itself largely to the consider
alton of the unfinished business of
the war. Mr.. Eddy has the situation
we'll in hand, and would be an
integral part of the congress which is
to set in motion the machinery of
prosperity at the resumption of our
normal business relations. He is
thoroughly conversation with the or
der of procedure in congress and has
reputation and standing in the house
which will be of inestimable value to
him and his district in the work to |
be done.
It is about time for the Seventh dis
trict to shake off the odium of being
a popu list territory. Whats has it
gained by it! 1t has secured nothing
at the hands of the state except wha!
has been given it by republicans and
the two congressman who have stood
for populism were known only as the
men who sayed their salaries, lived off
their stationery allowance and never
got acquainted with the speaker.
