REWARDS OF LAWYERS.
Statistics of the Practice That Poin,
to q Division of the Profess
sion in New York.

A distinguished lawyer published in
recent number of the New York
Journal some interesting statistics OF
the practice of law in New York,
where from 5000 to 10000 lawyers
either seek clients or wait to be sought
by them. The latter class of lawyers
is of course small. The practice of
criminal law is not considered in his
statistics.
Taking the last July calendar of the
supreme court in the first depart
ment this Investigator finds that
there were 1890 cases on it, which
were divided among 2,19o lawyers or
firms. Nearly 1000 of these lawyers
had only one case, and more than 1000
of them did not have as many as six
cases to try in a year. His figures
show that only five law firms in this
city had more than 100 cases, and
among these firms were found only
one of the great law firms of 25 years
ago. OF these five firms three repre-
sent large corporations which, from
the nature of their business. neces-
sariiy have many cases in court. The
great law firms of other days have
not held their own in this branch of
the procession. The bulk of court
work has passed into other hands
and they are fast becoming firms of
solicitors,
From the statistics published it is
shown that 21 lawyers had upward of
so cases, 60 lawyers had upward of
20 cases, and 1O4 lawyers had from
10 to 20 cases. X. Y. 2. suggests
that time is sure to bring about
more marked division than now be-
tween lawyers who try cases and
those who do not, and he believes that
the former will ultimately be recog-
nized as class of advocates. He says:
"The average income of men of our
profession does not equal $1,000 a
year. An advocate who could earn
500 a week trying cases would earn
the average income of the profess
sion." He suggests a porposed scale
of advocates fees in minor cases run
ming from $25 to $50 in jury cases
involving from $500 to $1,000.
The practice of criminal law ap-
peals chiefly to men who are good
advocates, but its returns are small,
The best known lawyers in this city
80 years ago were the men who fire.
quently appeared in important GRIM
inal cases. Now, however, the men
who practice in the criminal courts
are class by themselves,

ROYAL SIZES IN FIGURES.
Russia's Gear Is Only Five Feet Two
Inches in Height and Portu-

Physically many of the sovereigns
OF Europe would come under the gem

care so much about his lack of height
if he did not persist in becoming
portly. He weighs 257 pounds, in spite
of all precautions and "cures" he can

The trial of the case of the town of
Coventry against the town Of Andover,
for a claim of $3.50 for the care Of q
pauper, came up on Tuesday before the
superior court. The evidence showed
that the pauper, Theron Lyman, for whom
the claim Is made, was born in Coventry,
where his parents died. He was then
taken to the Coventry poor-house, where
he remained until he was taken to live
with Charles LOOMS, in the town Of
Andover, in the year 1854. He remained
there until the death of Mr.. Loomis In
1896, being no charge to any town. After
his death the selectmen of Andover made
complaint to justice, and Lyman was Or
dered to be taken back to the town of
Coventry, and left with the selectmen of
that town. Since that time he has been
supported by the town of Coventry, and
they now bring suit for the cost of the
support. The defense claimed that while
with Mr.. Loomis he was not of sufficient
mental capacity to acquire residence.
Lawyer Hunter of Willimantic and p. j.

plaintiff, and Lawyers Yeomans of An
