The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1899-05-04

Numerous instances are given of
the power that Mr.. Rufus Choate
possessed over jury, concealing it
even at the time he was exercising
it with the most potent effect. Mr.
E P. Whipple instances two notable
cases of this kind: One resolute
juryman said to another as he en-
tered the "box:"
Nov, mind you, there is one
man in this crowd who will not give
@ verdict for the client of that man
Choate. Why, sir. he is the great
corrupter of juries. ] know all his
arts. He is engaged by fellows who
wish to subvert justice between man
and man. l hate him with my
whole heart and soulf'
When the verdict was given for
Choate's client, with hardly dis
cussion in the jury room, the wonder
was expressed that this obstinate
member of the conclave agreed SO
readily with the rest.
"Oh," he said, 1.-THE case was a
plain one. Choate was right this
time, and you know it would have
been scandalous for me to violate
justice because l had a prejudice
against the person who supported
it. Let him appear before us in a
case where he is palpably wrong,
and l will show you that I'm all
right. He never can humbug mel"
On another occasion hard head
ed, strong hearted, well educated
farmer was one of jury that gave
five verdicts in succession for
Choate's clients. He said:
Il did not think much of his
flights of fancy, but ! considered
him very lucky lawyer, for there
was not one of those five cases that
came before us where he wasn't on
the right side.

An Edinburgh paper says that a
young advocate before the Scotch
lords of session, on hearing deci-
sion against his client which he
deemed contrary to law and justice,
so far forgot himself as to exclaim
that he was surprised at such a
decision. The lordships were an
CRY and were considering how to
mark their sense Of the advocates
irnpertinence when a pawky old
counselor arose and besought their
lordships' forgiveness for the slip
his young advocate had made. 1T
was purely lack Of experience that
led him into error. Had he known
your lordships half as long a. / have
done I'm hanged IL he would have
been surprised at anything your
lordships said or did. /"

The Grand Lodge Knights of
Pythias adjourned last night after
an Interesting session lasting two
days. In many respects it was
the most profitable meeting held
since the organization OF this
grand jurisdiction. A large rep
resentation Of enthusiastic Knights
from all portions Of the country
were present, and the sessions
were attended with much interest.
Vinita feels complimented by
having this gathering within her
gates, and there are abundant rea-
sons for believing that our visitors
went away with a very good i'm.
preston of our town and people.

be another surprise party in honor of
Miss Mae.
A number of young friends, Of Miss
Clara Brainard treated her to a sur
prise at her home on Babcock street
last Friday evening. A very pleasant
evening was spent by the young folks
with games of every kind and descrip-
ton, the party ending with refresh
ments of a dainty character being serv-
ed to the guests.
There were several musical enter
tainments last week, one in the Pres
byterian church on Friday evening and
the other in the Methodist church on
Saturday evening. Both of them were
great treats for lovers of music, and
the performers were artists in their
several lines. 1t is to be hoped that
some more entertainments of like
character will be given before the sea-
son is over.
There will be some very appropriate
music at the services in the Episcopal
church on Easter Sunday, both in the
morning and in the evening. The Pres
byterian church will also have some
special music for the occasion at the
services on that day.

In Livingston.

Livingston, March 31.-Tuesday after
noon and evening the Ladies' Aid So
ciety of the Congregational church
held their annual fair. The occasion
was one long to be remembered in
church circles in this city. for the net
proceeds of the affair amounted to
something like 5000, and in point of at
tendance and the pleasure of those who
were there the affair touched the high
water mark in society circles and
eclpsed the best efforts of rival socie-
ties in previous years The fair was
held in The vacant store room on Park
street in the Albemarle annex and I'M
der the deft hands of the committee on
decorations the bare and cherries store
room threw off the appearance of va
cancy and emptiness and looked as cosy
as could be wished. Inside the door
booths were arranged and curtains
draped with good effect showing off the
display of wares Offered for sale by The
society. A candy booth was presided
over by Mesdames Henry and Lashorn
and the tempting display of sweets
found ready sale among the crowd
which thronged the place from the time
the doors were opened in the afternoon
to the close of the fair at an early hour
in the evening. This department net

by was a booth for Battenburg lace, in
new and beautiful designs. which was
for sale by Mesdames Miller and Tai
colt. Useful articles were for sale by
MesdameS Williams and GARNER and
this booth, though not provided with as
beautiful wares as the others, netted no
less remunerative rewards for the la
Dor expended The chicken supper,
which began at 5 o'clock, was the fea-
ture of the day and it seemed that twice
the supply of food would have been in
adequate to supply the numbers who
came early and late and eagerly waited
their turn at the tempting tables. The
menu was elaborate and the fare as
tempting as ever prepared by skillful
hands At the first table Mesdames
