Isis way with Jury.
1t was noticeable from the first that young
Choate won his cases. His way OF talking
TO the jury as he would to an acquaintance
he had stopped on the street, his genial
manner and his habit OF illustrating his
telling points with humorous or sarcastic
allusons relieved the ordinary tedium of
trial and carried weight with the Jurors.
From the first Choate has been a great
jury lawyer His telling way OF expressing
mis- ideas makes them stick in the Jurors
memory At the same time the aptness Of
MS comparisons and the manner in which
they go straight to the heart of a question
makes them influential with the Judges.
when Choate said of a wealthy and some-
what hypocritica witness, who had pur-
chased house in Brooklyn on the further
side OF Greenwood cemetery. 'I suppose 1t
was the only way he could make sure OF a
home beyond the grave" the remark was
bound to remain with his hearers.
In the Pacifc railway case Coils p Hunt
ington set up the claim that he was not
responsible for the acts OF his agents on the
Pacific coast. But when Mr.. Choate al
luded to the chief of these agents as this
Mark Hopkins, by whom he was represented
absolutely, completely and without any
Limitation whatever, so that you might say
that when Mr.. Huntington took snuff on the
Atlantic coast, Mr.. Hopkins sneezed on the
Pacific" 1t was impossible to escape from
his Interpretation.
Hit wit and fun making powers brought
Choate into early prominence among the
members Of his own profession. Jurors,

toulouse canvass of the enumerators, will
be limited in the taking of the twelfth CEN
sus to those facts which relate to population,
mortality, agriculture and manufacture.
Reduced Number of Schedules.
"The general enumerator will thus have
only four schedules to master and carry
on his rounds as agarTt the twelve of the
last census, and in cites and agricultural
districts where special agents will be ap-
pointed for agricultural and mortality
statistics he Will have only one subject TO
attend to-that OF population The work
thus simpliied will be quickly finished and
the census reports may be looked for
within comparatively short time after the
actual enumeration has been finished They
will also be much less bulky and will be
contained in about six or seven volumes.
THE special reports which will be in
one way the new feature Of this census,
will, it is expected, occupy the time OF tho
skilled collectors of statistics between the
taking of the twelfth and thirteenth census
and permanent census bureau will thus
be practically established. These reports
will cover the ground covered by the elev-
enth census with the exception of the fol-
lowing subjects, which will be omitted
either as found practically impossible for
census enumeration from past experience or
as already covered by some other depart
ment of the government: The subject OF
transportation on which the eleventh CEN
sus had an exhaustive and valuable report,
will be omitted in the twelfth census be-
cause the work is now covered by the In
terstate Commerce commission. Mineral in
dustries will in like manner be left to the
geological survey; fish and fisheries to the
fish commission; schools will be left to
the Bureau of Education, it being UNDER
stood that questions of school attendance
and illiteracy shall remain in the popula-
tion schedule; irrigation will be left to the
Department of Agriculture; insurance will
be left to state commissions and to private
publications and Indians will be left to the
government Indian commission. Affairs
which make an annual report on the sub
ject the basis of inquiry on farm home and
real estate mortgages will be included in
the population schedule and 1t is estimated
that a perfectly satisfactory report can be
made in this branch of the work with u
saving to the government of nearly $500 900,
which was the amount expended during the
eleventh census Mortality reports from
the rural districts will not be attempted, as
they have been found from experience to be
incomplete and unsatisfactory. The esti-
mated cost OF taking the coming census is
80, ,OOOOoO, as against s25OO,0OO more for the
last census"
AS the bill providing for the taking of
the twelfth census passed the senate near
the close OF the last session, there is no
doubt but that the house will give 1t early
attention. Immediately after passage OF the
bill work will commence toward the or
ganization OF the bureau and at this time
next year the work OF vast army OF
enumerators and statistical experts Will
have commenced. l.. w. THAVIS.

Of course they are harmless. The stores

lie kept his ideal before him. When it
was suggested that he should enter politics
he said "No" When opportunities to go
into society presented themselves, he an
swered II am too busy He studied
harder-not only law books, but the masters
OF English writing and speech.
Studying the books and fighting in the
courts soon began to tell for Choate. BY
1870 they had made him one OF the foremost
lawyers of the country. Since then every
year has made his position as leader OF the
bar more unquestioned.
Yet Chcate is not well known man in
the sense that Depew or dozen others who
have been no more constantly before the
public, are. To the citizens OF the country
at large his name signifies man who makes
occasional brilliant speeches and who re-
ceives large fees for his services to wealthy
clients This is a singulary erroneous view.
During the recent campaign in New York,
Richard Croker made the charge against
Choate that he had never taken up the case
Of poor man. Choate retorted that on one
occasion he had appeared for a man who,
by his own sworn testimony, was poor.
He alluded to his appearing for Croker him=
self, after that gentleman had declared be-
fore an investigating committee that he was
poor. This may be hardly convincing in
stance and was inspired, doubtless, by a
desire to get the better of Mr.. Croker. But
1t is a fact that Mr. Choates charges are
very moderate, considering his eminence in
the legal profession. 1t is said that he has
received fees amounting as high as 100000,
but he probably has not made as much
money from his practice as have number

What splendid type of tireless activity
Is the sun as the psalmst described 1t issu
ing like "a bridegroom from his chamber
and rejoicing like a strong man to run
race" Every man ought to rise in the
morning refreshed by slumber and renewed
by rest, eager for the struggle OF the day
But how rarely this is so. Most people rise
still unrefreshed, and dreading the strain or
the days labors. The cause of this is de-
fcient vitality and behind this lies de-
ficient supply of pure, rich blood, and an In
adequate nourishment Of the body. There
is nothing that will give man strength and
energy, as will DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery. 1t does this by increasing
the quantity and quality of the blood sup
ply. This nOurishes the nerves, feeds the
brain, builds up enfeebled organs, and
gives that sense of strength and power
which makes the struggle of life joy.
The ''good feeling" which follows the use
OF "GOlden Medical Discovery" is not due
to stimulation as 1t contains no alcohol,
whiskey or other intoxicant. 1t does not
brace up the body, but builds 1t up into q
condition of sound health.

Murdered by a Striker.

Bern, Nov. 15.-The labor trouble on
the Simplon tunnel, in the canton of
Valais, which first became threatening
Friday, came to a head when 1000
workmen, mostly Italians, struck for
increased wages. Better conditions
also form part Of the mems demand.
The strikers declare that they will win
their fight, and that they, or no one,
will work on the tunnel. The gend-
armerie has been summoned in view
Of the imminent danger of mob vio-
lence. An Italian lad who, not know
ing of the difficulty, sought work on
the tunnel, was shot dead by an I'M
known striker.

London, Nov. 15.-The following has
been received here:
Cape Town, Nov. 10.-A dispatch
received here from Pretoria, under
date Of Thursday, Nov. 8, says the re-
ports received there from Ladysmith
said heavy cannonading started at
daybreak, that some Of the Boer forces
were within 1900 yards of the British,
when the cannonading ceased and rife
fire commenced. The Pretoria dis
patch also announced that all was
quiet at Mafeking and Kimberley.
Magnificent Bayonet Charge.
"An undated dispatch from Mafe-
king, received by runner, via Maya
lapye, Wednesday, Nov. 8, says: TO
day all is quiet. We have been bonn
barded pretty heavily all week. Fri
day night Captain Fitz-Clarence and
Lieutenant Swinburn, with D squad
ron Of the PrOtectorate regiment, made
q magnificent bayonet charge upon the
Beers entrenchment, driving them
from their positions and bayoneting
numbers Of the Beers, who must have
lost very heavily. The charge was
most gallant and determined. The
party could not hold the trenches and
lost six men killed, two prisoners and
nine wounded in their retirement. We
expect general attack tomorrow. The
bombardment has been most ineffect-
ual. Every one remains under she'll
proof cover. So far the shells have
only wounded one man.
Ample Provisions on Hand.
""The enemy are using one 94-pound
HowitZer and seven other guns from
to IA Founders. The town is most
cheerful and determined to resist at
tack to the utmost. The Beers are
entrenched on every side in great num-
bers and are pushing gradually closer
, and closer to the town Notifications.
We are well off for provisions and
water, though very tired lodging shells
and fighting. Quite on civilized lines
General Cronje has always given due
notice of bombardment and allowed
an ambulance party two hours on Sat
urday to recover the bodies of six
dead left in the vicinity of the Boer
trenches. On Friday night, Jan
Botha, the well-known Boer command
ant, told a man with the ambulance
party that their loss had been heavy
and that his heart was very sore.
Boer Loss Estimated at 100.
Only fifty-five men of D squadron
were engaged in the attack, though
they were assisted by the f1anking fire
of a gun of the Cape police. The
Beers made a desperate attempt to
drive back the British, and their rear
trenches opened terrific fire in every
direction, the flash of the rifles lighting
up the entire position. A hail of bull
let's ratified on the roofs Of the houses
Of the town. Upon completing a cir
cult of the Boer front and the line Of
trenches, the British withdrew in in
dependent lines Of retreat, covered by
the flank fire from the Cape police.
The Beers continued to volley at inter-
walls during the night. The Boer loss
is estimated at 100 killed and wound
ed. The Beers were observed from
Mafeking burying their dead all day
long,"
