A. Lawyers Story.

The late Sir Frank Lockwood was de-
Tending a man accused of swindling, and in
an eloquent peroration talked of his much
injured client as an angel of light. When
Sir Frank had finished his speech his
client whispered that he wanted to shake
hands with him. when first my solicitor
told me what he was paying you" said
the client. II grumbled, but since 1 have
been listening to you l have come to the
conviction that the money was well spent.
and l apologize. That half hour talk of
yours about me has done me good. 1t is
many years since l have experienced the
luxury of self-respect and it is worth the
money"
"Oh, that's all right" said Sir Frank.

out of court Sir Edward Clarke. the
lawyer on the other side, is just going to

The decision of the Paris Exposition au-
thorites with respect TO wines is suf-
flcient to show that The purpose of the
great fair is to advertise French wares,
meanwhile making the foreign visitors to
the exposition pay the expenses of the
enterprise. 1t has been determined that
no foreign wine which bears the general
name of the product of any French vine
yard shall be judged. This would appear
to be a direct blow at the wines of Cali
fornia, since many of them have lately
come into competition with the French
goods. The secret Of the business proba-
bly, is that the French are afraid that
their wines would not stand comparison
with the California product. 1t was a
French wit who said that wine might be
made out of a good many things, even
including grapes. Under the ruling OF the
exposition people all American cham
pagnes, clarets. sauternes. etc, will be
denied the right TO compete with the
French articles Of the same names. not
withstanding the American goods are
plainly labeled and make no pretentions
to being other than what they are 1t
looks very much like an exhibition Of bad
faith that this wine ruling should not
have been made unt'I after the Exposition
had been open for more than a month

II is said there Is a movement on foot
to get together into trust all of the man
ufacturers of voting machines. The pro-
motors of this trust are understood to be
politicians. Several of the states now
have laws which permit of the use OF vot-
ing machines. Should the politicians sue
coed in forming their trust, their next step
would be to get laws passed making OBJ
ligatory the use of these machines.

After a good deal of cireumlocution the
investigators Of the Cuban postal steal
have got around TO the point of letting it
be known that Rathbone will be indicted,
since tse evidence in hand involves him
in the crookedness. 1t was probably the
desire to let RathDone down easily, since
he had recently been highly commend
ed for ms excellent work by the Post
master General, in a special article in
Golfers Weekly, and for the further fact
that he was a political protege of some
of the big politicians in the postoffice de-
partment. The scandal in Havana con-
tinues to grow. Meantime, Nicely has not

The Chinese Minister was an interested
spectator at the Philadelphia Convention.
One thing that struck him as queer, ne
said, was that whereas he saw negro,
Indian and Hawaiian delegates on the
floor along with the white delegates, he
saw no Chinese delegates. He could not
comprehend why the race line should be
drawn to take in black. red and brown
men, and leave out yellow ones. Minister
Wa said that the most powerful and must
cal voice he heard in the convention, was
that of a negro delegate from Georgia.
Once more there seems a faint echo Of
the Dreyfus case. Col PicGuart, the chief
hero of the revision, has secured YER
dict awarding him $4,000 damages against
a Paris newspaper which called him a
traitor and a German spy. The case has
been appealed, but it is believed Picquart
will collect pretty nearly if not quite the
whole of the award. And if reports are
correct, he stands in need of the money,
since his resources are limited to half
pension, amounting to about $500 a year.
Joe Wheeler's ears must be burning
these days, because of the nice things that

one would never think that the Illinois
press had ever called Gen. Wheeler a
rebel"

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Record Oem) says:
whilst the platform declares for home
rule and the early admission to state
hood of the territories of New Mexico
Arizona and Oklahoma there is not a
word in it concerning poor Porto Rico, and
not syllable in it in favor of the act of
Congress which violates two specific pro-
visions of the constitution of the United
States in denying to Porto Rico free trade
with the rest of the country to which the
island belongs. While prating of home
rule for New Mexico there is not the least
defense Of the carpet-bag government
which has stripped the Puertoriquenos OF
the last remnant of home rule. What is
the cause of this remarkable retcence
concerning a prime measure of Republi-
can policy? Is the reason for il to be found
in the fact that this entire Porto Rican
enactment is an object of detestation to
large numbers of Republicans, whose re-
sentiment its mere mention in the platform
will be sure to provoke? Or Is this silence
because the Porto Rican act Is regarded
a political blunder not susceptible OF
defense?"
The Richmond Dispatch Dem) says:
"The last plank in the platform is de-
voted TO the Philippines. and is chiefly
noticeable for not telling what the people
most desire to know, and that is. what
the Republicans propose shall be the ulti-
mate relations between the islands and
this country. It's aim seems to be TO mud
die the public, and leave the road open for
the consummaton of imperialism, should
the party be successful at the polls in
November"
The Nashville American (Dem) says:
But after all the platform Of the Repub-
llcan party Is written in its admlnistra-
ton of the country for the past three
years. Promises are nothing, deeds are
everything. The past recOrd of the party
is what it will be tried upon by the peo-
pie next November, not its promises for
the future"
The Charleston News and Courier (Dem)
says: THE Republican team is strong
one. The Democrats must make no mis-
take about that, and govern themselves
accordingly. What the convention at Kan
sas City ought to do Is to name good men
on a sound platform ana go in 10 win. IL
will take hard work and united party
40 do it,"

A CHASTITY nHlPMEN T.
Porters Refused TO Handle Two
Coffins Containing Nine
Budies,

One of the most ghastly shipments that
have taken place from here in recent
years was that of the bodies of nine
members of the Kent family, late Of this
city, which were taken up in the Old
Cathedral burial grounds yesterday
morning and shipped to Fernwood sta
ton, to be taken to Holy Cross Cemetery
outside of Philadelphia, for interment.
The nine bodies, according to the state
ment of a man representing himself to
be William +. Mullen, of 1923 s. Tenth
street, Philadelphia, funeral director,
were In two casbets. which had been
thoroughly coated with tar as disin-
fectant. At the railroad station, as the
porters refused to handle them, several
hackmen assisted In the removal of the
cases.
The stencil from the bodies at the sta
tion was almost unberable. They had
been removed from damp ground and the
baggage master at the station refused
to receive or allow them to be taken at
first, but the undertaken stated that the
cofflns had been placed in a pool Of water
while they were being coated with tar
as a disinfectant. The driver of the
dead wagon stated that some OF the
bodies had been inferred for Is. to 10
years, while the funeral director stated
that he had Inferred body In the same
lot about four years ago. The funeral
certificate called for the interment Of
Elizabeth Kent.
Besides the body OF Elizabeth Kent It
is said the other bodies were those Of
members Of the same family.

WHAT THE ELDERS SAY.

a number of prominent citizens last
night started movement, the object of
which Is to drive out OF town Mormon
Elders Scofield and Edmund l.. Barlow,
both of Utah who are attempting to do
missionary work in this city.
The elders are young men about 20 or
21 years of age, of medium height and
muscular bu1ld. They are rather good
looking.
Last night they entered the rooms of
the Y. M. G. A. and endeavored to rent
the Y. NJ. q. A. Hall for Wednesday
night for a religious meeting.
Secretary Wilnams and other members
Of the Y. M. @. A. promptly refused to
rent them the hall under any considera-
tion.
The news of the affair spread over
town last night and the officials of the
Y. M. G. A. were everywhere commended
for the action.
An endeavor will be made to induce
owners of other halls to also refuse to
rent to the nlormons. If these gentle
means of forcing the Mormons to leave
town do not suffice harsher methods may
be resorted to.
A number of persons consulted an at
torney about the matter yesterday and
he said there was no legal way of driving
them out of the town.
The matter was brought up at the
meeting of the Law and Order Society
last night and discussed. The general
opinion was that the only thing that
could be done was to arouse public
opinion against them, through the
churches and the press.
The Mormon elders said last night
they were a part of 1900 missionaries
sent out from Utah to make co.irsrts
to their religion.
They held that their religion no longer
included polygomy which had haen 9,op-
ped ten years ago. They claimed that
Roberts who gained celebrity by asp,r-
ing to seat in Congress, had married
his three wives prior to the time the
law against polygomy had been passed.

COPPER MARKET FIRM.
The Present Situation Is Desirable to
to Both Seller and Buyer,

New York, Dec. 1O.--Inquiry reveals
undiminished strength in the tone of the
copper market. There is no 'boom" but
an even steady display of frmness has
been maintained, and the market has
been put upon solid foundation. For
several reasons this is considered desir-
able situation for both seller and buyer
as it enables the manufacturer to keep
up his price schedule with his customer
more readily in ordinary times. 1t also
enables the director of copper mining
companies to plan further ahead and to
know to a reasonable degree what they
can count on for developments and divi-
dends over considerable period. A II
cent market for copper means anything
of the very best at the mines, smelters
and refiners and fat dividends for the
shareholders.
