DISBARREO At HIS REQUEST,
FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE HAWKINS
SAYS HE is PROSECUTED.
The Court Granted His Request and His
Name Was Stricken From the
Roll of Attorneys.

Former Secretary of State John D.
Hawkins, for several years chairman
of the Democratic County Committee,
was disbarred on Thursday at his own
request.
''I desire, may it please your Hon
ors, that my name be stricken from the
list of practicing attorneys of this
Court" he said, rising in open
Court.
ST do not make this application be-
cause have any fear of the future. 1
have none. But I'm not vain enough
to think that can properly care for
my clients with the strong arm of this
State continually over my private char
acter and my personal interests, and
with personal spite and vlndictive
spleen forcing me out of business chan
nels, and seeking to crush me. My re-
lations with the Courts have been most
pleasant. and my treatment has always
been most courteous. (Here Mr.. Haw-
kins was visibly affected.) But, possi-
bly, l am better off in retirement with
the laymen and common people, among
whom, find, are my friends.
The Court, as we'll as the members
of the Bar, sat motionless for some
moments. Chief Justice Lore finally
read this decree:
"And now, to wit, this twenty-sixtI
day of April, A. D. 1900, upon applica
tion of John d. Hawkins, made il
open Court, it is ordered that the name
of the said John D. Hawkins be forth
with stricken from the roll of attorney
of this Court.
Mr.. Hawkins was indicted on Tues
day on two counts, charging the EN-
bezzlement of 5000 paid to Mr.. Haw
kins by client, John W. Hutchinson
of Kenton, with which he was asked t.
satisfy a mortgage agaist Hutchinson
farm, mortgage held by Enoch Clark
of Dover. Mr.. Hawkins alleges tha
the money was not embezzled, but wa
properly invested as directed by Chas
G. Babbitt, of Philadelphia, the rea
owner of the funds.

QUAY'S POWER GONE.
His Defeat 10 Senate May Mean the Over
thOw of His Machine.

Politicians in Philadelphia were not
averse to discuss the defeat of Matthew
Stanley Quay in the United States
Senate, and the consensus of opinion
appeared to be that his defeat is but
the beginning of the fight to overthrow
the entire Quay machine in Pennsyl-
vania.
For a long time Mr. Quay has been
losing his power in Pennsylvania.
His defeat in the Senate means the
the loss of his prestige as factor in
national politics. His influence in his
own State must necessarily be greatly
dimished by that loss of prestige
While he will have more or less power
over his former lIeutenants, it will be
but little felt by the voters of the State.
The United States Senate voiced the
sentiment of all thoughtful and good
citizens in refusing to admit Mr.. Quay
on the appointment of Governor Stone;
his admission would have established
a very dangerous precedent.
Quay's first serious blunder was
when he failed to see that the people
of Pennsylvania were not willing to
elect him to the United State Senate;
his second serious blunder was in con-
stituting his governor-Stone-his vic
eroy in the State.
The Senate skaters force that was
supposed to be invincible and proves
that the people are more potent than
any one man.
While the action of Hanna was fatal
to Quay, the man whose skill and wis
dom really made victory over Quay il
the Senate possible was Burrows Of
Michigan. Burrows is one of the most
skillful men in Congress, and withou
even showing any feeling he has worked
persistently in this case and finally hit
formal argument in the Senate was ont
of the most effective that could hav'
been presented. Among the Demo
Gratis, Mr.. Jones of Arkansas, has beel
tireless in his efforts to prevent men o.
his party from being responsible for al
overthrow of the Senate precedent.

being seated, because they thought it
would have given encouragement to
the practice of failing to elect senator's
in Delaware. The Republicans want
men elected and not appointed.
1t is admitted now, says the Morning
Ne,Cs, that the Republicans will carry
the State at the next election, and that
there is no hope for Democratic sem
ator being named, much less two Dem
ocratic senator's.

FINE TRAINED ANIMALS
THEY ARE THE STARS OF PROF.
GENTRY,S CIRCUS.

Over a hundred dogs, fifty ponies,
score or so of monkeys and two tiny ele-
plants comprise the animal actors of
Prof. Gentry's aggregation, which is to
visit and delight both old and young in
st. Paul all Of next week. Since last seen
here this exhibition has not only been en-
larged but greatly improved upon, every
department, from the railroad equipment
to the performance itself has not only
been enlarged, but bettered as well. New
acts and new features take the place of
the old, time-worn performances that our
forefathers laughed at when boys, and the
performance the professor now presents Is
not only original, but actually amusing
and, at times, amazing. Aside from a
thorough education of the animal thev
form really praisworthy horse and
bench show. Dogs of all description from
the colossal St. Bernard and Great Dane
down to the tiniest toy poodle, vie with
each other in friendly rivalry in the new
annex or reception tents for the pets and
caresses of the large audiences that are
usually to be found under Gentry's tents.
The tiny horses, over fifty in number.
are each models of dainty horseflesh, and.
although they do not vary a great deal in
size, the color contrast from the deepest
black to the snowiest7 white forms a
very agreeable picture. Cute and cunning
monkeys, in fairylike. cages, grimace and
caper daily and nightly before the crowds,
while the two elephants, pinto" and
Nero" docile enough for any child to
play with, are usually seen with children
upon their backs, riding to and fro, under
the watchful eye of the attendants.
Large tents will be erected at College
avenue, near Wabasha, and two perform
ances will be given daily all of next week,
