cHoATE's CAREER AS LAWYER

There Is one notable feature Of Rufus
Choates career as n lawyer that his
distinguished nephew omitted to dwell
upon In his grafton, doubtless for rea-
sons Of propriety This was his in
sidious power over a jury, which was
something that the jurors themselves
never quite understood This power
was well illustrated by the remark Of
hard-headed old farmer who was
one Of jury that gave Ave verdicts
in succession for Choate's clients once
upon a time. IL understand, sir, that
you are a relative Of Lawyer Choate,"
said this Juror subsequently to one of
Choate's nephews, land want to tell
you that was not swayed or lnfu-
enced in the least by his flights Of
fancy, but | consider him a very lucky
lawyer for there was not one Of those
cases that came before us where he
wasn't on the right side"

THE noDGDoN ARsoN TRrA1
Will be Resumed in Criminal Superior
 Court This Forenoon.


 The Hodgdon arson trial. in which much public interest is being taken, will be resumed in the criminal side of the superior court before Judge Rora- back at 11:15 o'clock this morning. It is customary to put over cases in the criminal side of this court from Friday afternoon to Tuesday morning, but the Hodgdon case will go on this morning, as it is desired to finish up the trial as soon as possible, although it will un- doubtedly last several days longer. Friday afternoon the defense began proving an alibi and put on several wit nesses who testified to having seen Cap tain Hodgdon on the evening of Decem- Der 24 in different places from where Cook had previously testified to having seen him and been with him at the same time. It is probable that the defense will continue this forenoon in the same line of evidence Court adjourned Fri day afternoon with James F. sherman, night clerk at the Haynes house, on the stand.
 In the Friday mornings report of the trial it was stated that William l.. Shea han, the plumber, was one of the Wit nesses put on the stand by the state. This was incorrect, as William l.. Shea han has nothing whatever to do with the case. The witness referred to was Daniel M Sheehan, the plumber, who testified as to conversation which he had with Captain Hodgdon.

TIRE TELLER RESOLUTION.
Claim in House That There is Majority
 Against It.

Washington, Jan. 30.-It is the in. tention of the house leaders to offset as far as possible the action of the sen ate in passing the Teller resolution by, killing that declaration of the sense of congress regarding the payment of the governments coin bonds in silver on a yea and nay vote in the house this week. This will be the feature of the proceedings. While the full republican strength in the house cannot be conn manded against the resolution, no doubt is expressed by those who have made it their business to canvass the situa- ton that the majority against it will be decisive. As soon as the resolution is reported back from the ways and means committee which may be tomorrow, the rules committee will bring in spe- cial order for it's considerat ton. The time allowed for debate is likely to be brief as the leaders do not believe there is any necessity for protracted debate and moreover a long discussion would measureably decrease the very purpose they have in view-namely, a prompt and decisive negative reply to the sen- ate's resolution.

A Gallant Fighter in Mexican and Civil
 Wars Succumbs

New York, Jan. 30.-Daniel Lawrence Braine, ex-admiral of the United States navy, retired, died at his home in Brooklyn, tonight, from heart failure, following an attack of rheumatism. He was born in New York city, May IS, 1929. He was appointed from Texas as midshipman May 30, 1S46, and during the Mexican war was engaged in the most important engagements.

In 1862 he received his commis- sion as lieutenant commander and from that time until 1864 was In numerous engagements, commanding the Pequot in the attacks on Fort Fisher, Fort An derson and the forts on Cape Fear River. For cool performance of duty in these fights he was recommended for promotion and on July 25, 1866, was commissioned commander

PRINCETON AND TEMPERANCE.
President Patten Talks to Undergraduates
 at Chapel-The Cause,

Princeton, Jan. 30.-At the conclusion of morning chapel services yesterday, President Patten announced that some- what against his feelings he had been requested to address the students of Princeton university on the subject of temperance.
 "At a meeting of the trustees in Mo- vember," he began, 'it was resolved to attain a liberal enforcement of the ex- isting law against intoxication on the part of the students. and have been asked to use strict measures to prevent further violation of the law. Now I will not say that the joyous shouts of the young men and merry celebrations might not sometimes easily be constru- ed as of a bacchanalian nature, but do not believe that the undergraduates of this university will compare unfav- orably with the undergraduates of other universities, or that the Princeton man of to-day is less wanting in socie- ty or Christian behaviour than the Princeton man of earlier days.
 T cannot say that there have been no cases of this abuse of liquor. Re gretfully l must admit that such cases have been brought to my attention, but l am in sympathy with the feeling that the university men must be treated like boys in a preparatory school, believe the students will stand by the trustees and myself in this desire to stamp out the very germ of the evil and prevent it's growth and I believe that the enforcement of the law against the frequenting of drinking places will nto lead to a secret practice of the vice. Above all I would beg you to refrain from putting temptation in the way of your weaker friends. It is for these you must labor and refrain from that which you yourselves might not abuse"

BIC RArLRoAD SCHEME.
Consolidation of Lake Shore and New
 York Central the Initial Step.

Consoi1daIon or Lake shore and New
 York Central ti,e Initial Step.
 New York, Jan. 30.--The Tribune to- morrow will publish the following: The consolidation of the Lake Shore with the Nev York Central under the name of the latter is simply the initial step in a railway plan that in scope eclipses anything hitherto undertaken in the history of railroading. The truth is, however, that the present scheme is the first step which has been taken for the practically admitted amalgamation of the Lake Shore and the New York Gen. tral, and, further. to consolidate into one company the whole Vanderbilt sys- tenn and such lines as it may be able to control or lease.
 The next step in this plan of consoli- dation will be the merging of the Cleve- land, Cincinnati Chicago and St. Louis railroad with the Chesapeake and Ohio under the name of the former. Prob ably the same system of consolidation will be followed out in this road as in the Lake Shore. The next step will be to bring the roads into the new com mission of the Lake Shore and the New York Central. The next road will be the Chicago and Northwestern. In the meantime there is talk of a consolidation of the West Shore, the Nickel Plate and the Michigan Central. This is still em- bryonic Cornelius Vanderbilt is chair man of the board of directors of the Michigan Central.

CAUSES soN.IN-LAW,s ARREST.
Baltimore Business Man Accuses Moses
 Rosenstock of Robbing Him.

New York, Jan. S0.-Moses Rosen- street police court to-day on the com- plaint of his father-in-law, David Wifi son of Baltimore, as a fugitive from justice. He was held pending the ar- rival of requisition papers from Balti- more. Rosenstock was arrested last night. MT. Wilfson, the complainant, Is the senior member of the furniture manufacturing firm of David Wilfson & Sons
 Thirteen years ago, according to the story told by MT. Wilfson in court to- day, Robenstock was compelled through his gambling debts and entanglements to leave Germany. He came to this country and after a short residence In Baltimore married MT. Wilson's elder daughter, despite her fathers opposi- tion. Soon after that Rosenstock was given an important position with his father-in-law's firm, but after paying attention to business for few months, Rosenstock again plunged deeper than ever into the whirlpool of dissipation. Then one day came the refusal of one of the firms largest customers to pay h NH OL ONCl %Io,VVV, WiiiSli tliSJ SiohiiA ed, according to MT. Wilfson, had been paid to Rosenstock months before. When confronted with the evidence Rosenstock denied that he had received the money, but the matter was settled for a time by Rosenstock's accepting a few hundred dollars and leaving town. He left his wife and his children be- hind. An expert was put at work on his books and, MT. Wilson states, dis covered that Rosenstock was $30,O00 short in his accounts.
 His dissipations in Baltimore" said Mr. Wilson, in court, to-day. had all ready cost me over $75,000 and when I found he had been robbing me besides, I determined to punish him severely if he could be found" For year or more. detectives secured the country for Rosenstock. He went to Philadel- phia, 1t was learned, and then dsap- peared. Later he went to Pittsburg and according to the story, practically did the same thing over again. Rosen- stock had nothing to say when arraign- ed to-day and greeted his father-in-law with downcast eyes. He showed little emotion when told by MT. Wilson that during the two years he had been ab- sent two of his children had died. Af- ter he was remanded Rosenstock said he would prepare a statement showing the amount of money he had taken from Mir. Wilson

AN ENGLISH CREW MAY ROW
MISSION OF 4 LEANDER CLDB MAN
 TO THIS COUNTRY.

r. H. E. Maple of London Consults With
 Members of Cornelps Athletic Council
 and is to See Representatives of Columbia
 and of the U. of P.-CornelI Agreeable to
 Race With an English Crew.
 Ithaca, N. Y., Jan. 30.-The visit of F. H. B. Maple, the English oarsman to Ithaca last week, has caused conjec- ture among the Cornell students as to his probable mission here. 1t Is known that he called upon several prominent members of the Cornell athletic coun- ell and according to statements made York, matters relative to Cornell's pres- ent policy were discussed by him with here he apparently had some specific object in view and was favorably inn pressed with Cornel's proposed Amer ican inter collegiate association. In an interview Mir. Maple thought it quite probable that an English eight might join Cornell and her competitions in a race at Saratoga this coming June.
 After careful consideration of Cor nells position and possibility of secur- ing an English crew to consent to come to America, he now intends to call up- on representatives of Columbia's naval affairs in New York, and also to visit Philadelphia to consult with Coach Ward. of the University of Pennsylva- nia crew. He intends to inform them of his previous talk with members of the Cornell athletic council and if his plans are sanctioned by those two rep resentatives, he will place the proposf- tion before members of the Leander and Thames rowing clubs of England and endeavor to bring the crew across the water. Just how much influence MT. Maple would have with English oars- men in bringing his plans to a success full issue is not known at present. He. however, is known to both Prof. Stew ems of Cornell and also to Coach Court ney, whom he met at the Henley re- getta in 1895. His father is prominent in English politics and MT. Maple is at present member of the Thames, Lean der and London Rowing clubs.
 The class of oarsmen who would con- stitute such a crew MT. Maple predicts would be graduates of Cambridge or Oxford. While the crew of undergrad uates would be more desirable to the American crews, he thinks that English university races are held too early in the season compared with ours and for this reason students would refuse to re- main in training until June. The course already mentioned was preferred by the English representative to the Pough- keepsie course. The crews would have better protection there in his opinion, and general accommodations are more suitable. MT. Maple was satisfied that Cornell would be greatly benefited by the presence of the English crews and that the success of the intercollegiate rowing association would be assured. A race of this kind would be very favor able to Cornell undergraduates and the crew men who had desired that they navy send them to Henley instead of racing here, would be perfectly satisfied to meet and English crew on American waters.

THE UNITY OF THE WORLD'
MEN'S CLUE OF UNIFIED CHURCH
 ADDRESSED BY DE. BRADFORD.

He Told in an Interesting Manner What
 the Present Condition of Affairs Pre-
 diets for the Future-Another Great War
 a Possibility-May be Very Soon.
 At the United church last night pr. Amory H. Bradford of Montclair, N. J.. delivered an address on the subject "The Unity of the World" It was un- der the auspices of the Mems club of the church. The church was com fortably filled. It was an attentive au- dience and they heard an address which was very able and far-reaching. It showed the results of hard study, prin- cipally of the effects of the present con- dition of affairs in the world upon the future history and condition. He pre- dioted that before many hundred years had passed the entire world would speak the English language. He said in part: Great changes have not only been made in the languages but also in the map of the world. There will no
 doubt soon be the United States of Europe as we'll as the United States of America. There will be cooperation
 among nations as we'll as competition. No nation dares to act alone, except in affairs which concern itself alone. There will, think, be one more great war, and 1t may come soon. Such struggle gle will not hinder but rather hasten this unity of nations.
 The time will come when France will
 honor the name of Bismarck, England
 that of Washington and America. be
 proud to claim Oliver Cromwell as her
 own. This may seem to you like
 dream; but 'tis not a baseless one. The
 vision is clear to all who will study the
 matter. At present only the outline is visible. War will soon be impossible Navfes will have to agree because they dare not differ. The United States of the world would not mean a millennium.
 The bane of the world is prejudice. It has done more to separate the world than anything else Switzerland and England are quite as free as we, and their liberty is a better safeguard than ours. It Is question whether history does not do us more harm than good. 1 The universities and the pulpit must 1 take the lead and destroy the harmful prejudices which exist.
 1 think that professors and ministers who have travelled and studied much are more entitled to seats in the United l States senate than mushroom mine owners and presidents of corporations, who are capable of clevely manipulate 1 ing votes. Such men as Seth Low and Charles H. Parkhurst could be safely | trusted with the administration of pEb Eb-s l lie affairs. The brotherhood of man js l growing. It embraces all, no matter
 what are the shapes of the nose or the
 color of the skin. That verse in the
 Bible, If ye love not your brother
 whom ye have seen, how can ye love
 your father in heaven whom ye have
 not seen," was never more true. The.
 unity of the world will be of little use
 unless prejudice goes. and good will
 comes, for enemies will not be friends
 even if they were tied together. Chris
 tianity is the central doctrine of the
 golden age of the world toward which all creation must move.

THIRD WEEK OF STRIKE.
Its Beginning Comes With No Prospect of
 a Settlement.


 New Bedford, Mass, Jan. 30.-The third week of the strike will begin to- morrow with no nearer prospect of a settlement than was apparent three weeks ago. Some of the collectors who have been at work in neighboring cities returned Saturday, bringing satisfac- tory reports, at which the members of the general strike committee are much encouraged. The union weavers will re- ceiye their strike pay tomorrow. J. H. Acornley, pastor of the South Primi- tive Methodist church, the congregation of which is composed of English peo- pie, many of whom work in the mills, to-day announced that he would remit his salary to the church during the strike. MT Acornley also announced his resignation, on account of i'll health, to take effect at the time of the annual conference meeting in May

4 REMARKABLE STATEMENT,
Man Confesses Daring Plot to Hold UT
 Union Pacific Trains.

uan COnIeSSeS a Darlng PlOt CO Hold Up
 Union Pacific Trains.
 Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 3O.-The Jour nal to-day published a remarkable in- terview with John F. Kennedy, the all legged train robber, who was found in the street on Friday night in an uncon- scious condition, wearing false whiskers and having in his possession red lan- tern and all the other accoutrements for train robbery. The Journal states that Kennedy freely admitted that he and his associates had planned to hold up and rob the Union Pacific west bound overland train, and that they had been given a tip that that train would carry over S60000 in treasure. The point selected, according to this story, was about six miles out of the city on the Kansas side of the line near Muncie station, which was the scene of Jesse James earlier hold-ups.
