A Hint to Letter Writers.

The practice of writing private let.
tiers from the first to the third page of
a letter sheet and then going back to
the second page is n matter of taste,
but it will not do to follow that course
of procedure in writing legal docu-
ments.
The New York courts have disallow-
ed the provisions of a will written in
this way. The testator wrote the will
On three sides Of a folded paper, COM
mencing on the first page and %continu-
ing on the third page, at the top of
which was written second page" and
completing and signing h instrument
on a page marked "third page" which,
in fact, was the second page of the
sheet.
The court held hat the will was not
signed at the physical end, as required
by the statute. The law does no con-
template going backward in order to
get forward. and b will was refused
probate. The New York court of ap-
peals sustained the decision throwing
out this form of will.-Boston Herald.

Counsel for the Accused Dwell on
the DAILY Conspiracy.
The brief of the respondent. William A.
Clark fills 232 seSto-decimo pages in small
plea. and is signed by Charles J. Faulkner
and Roger Foster counsel for the respond
ent.
The brief in part. follows:
"A brief statement of the facts shown
in evidence before your honorable commit
tee. Will convince the judgment Of those
who have carefully analyzed them. that
the prosecution OF the case against Sena-
tor Clark does not rest upon those princi-
pies, nor is it directed by those motives
which should command the attention or
enlist the approval Of the members CT tie
distinguished parliamentary body Of which
he is a member. An examination Of this
testimony viii confirm the most skepticaI
in the belief, that those who seek to brand
a majority Of the Representatives Of a sov-
creigu Suite as dishonest and as 'b.ibe-
takers. are Influenced by no lofty purpose
Of remedy ng an evil nor is it entered
upon from desire to maintain the integri-
ty Of the membership OF the Senate of the
United States. The facts shown in this
record fully Justify the assertion that those
who originated this prosecution; who have
followed IL to its conclusion by the en-
plOyment Of methods which are illustrated
in the administration Of the most reckless
police court system, were not actuated by
a high public motive, but were controlled
only by sentiments OF the bitterest person
al and political hostility.
AS We proceed to discuss the evidence.
