An eminent lawyer, one of the
most eminent in the United States,
tsas in the midst of an argument
in defense Of the patent rights Of
his client to a new tangled collar
button that was being unIawfully
manufactured by the people on the
other side of the case. The diStin-
gulshed counsel was describing the
patent referred to, and its many
advantages, when Justice ShiraS
interrupted him, and in most Sc
rious manner, Observed:
II should like to ask the learn
ed counsel il his client manufac-
lures a collar button that won't

Of course the court was shocked.
Some young people in the seats re-
served for spectators Uttered and
the marshal, rapping Oh his desk
with his gavel, roared: "Sifence

eminent counsel maintained his
gravity, although his soul must
have been deeply stirred, and had
presence of mind enough to turn
the incident to his own advantage,
saying with emphasis:
Il have the honor to inform the
court that the collar button manu-
fatbred by my client is un;qSS in
that as well as IN other respects,
but my client would not be SO sell

benefit to mankind"
The only other time, so far as
anybody can remember, that a joke
was perpetrated in the supreme
court, was when Thomas Wilson
of Washington was arguing a case.
Some people Insist That he did not
intend to be funny, but made his
remark in sober earneStness. How
ever, Mr.. Wilson was arguing a
case of some Importance and was
dwelling upon propositions tina;
were known to aud accepted by
every law student in the country,
when he was interrupted by the
late Justice Miller, saying:
"Can not the COUNSEL safely
assume that this court understands

4 Political Reelection.


The district republican convention met
in Cumberland Tuesday and nominated
Col. George y. Pcarrc for reelection.
The resolutions commended him IN

merit professions.
They also express renewed confidence
in the republican party's ability to solve
every puzzle that arises away from home.
The one ut h0me-the difference between
mining employers and employees not
being alluded to, is Theoretically regarded
as the only sumner the party can't
tackle.
There was also no reference made to
the Cumberland Vars editorial indigna-
ton over Gov. Smiths disloyalty to the
spirit Of the merit principle in displac
ing one democratic school board by APP
pointing another rs it was evident,
doubtless, that to the Mars all demo-

of not meeting the miners
Let Us go back IL little.
Assuming that reorganization is OBJ
jcctionablc, had the companies been
pleasantly represented at the Cumber-

not he Organization to-day
That dcrcliction made the miners COM
paratively easy prey for Warner and

1t was neither diplomatic nor fair,
then, to provoke Organization in

should continue.
1t may be too late now to regard Il
meeting as the proper thing.
