EVARTS GOT HIS FEE.
His Unanswerable Argument When Re-
duction Was Intimated.

His Unanswerable Argument When Re-
ductlon Was Intimsted.
From a story related by a New York
lawyer it can be inferred that the late
William NJ Evarts held his services
at a good round figure. 1t also seems
that he was clever in avoiding any re-
duction in his charges when the time
for payment came. The lawyer says,
Il was employed once in a suit of con-
siderable Importance in which my
client was lady. To insure success
it was thought advisable to secure the
services of distinguished counsel. and
accordingly was authorized to en-
ploy Mr.. Evarts. After talking over
the matter with him, on rising to go,
said to Mr.. Evarts that it would be
the proper thing to give him retain
er, and asked him for what amount 1
should make out check in his favor.
"'Oh,' said he, 1 guess ST. 900 will
suffice and thereupon 1 rendered him
the paper for that sum.
mot long afterward the suit was
settled to our satisfaction, and again
I called on Mr.. Evarts, this time to
| pay him in full for his services, which
had not been of an arduous nature.
"'How much do we owe you?
said.
"Call it s5,0O0,' he responded, with
out moments hesitation. l thought
this a little steep in view Of the cir
cumstances, and l started in with a
mild protest
"'You know Mr.. Evarts, that you've
had $1,000
Yes he said, with dry smile,
but I've spent that
This was an unanswerable argu-
ment, and all further effort at reduc-
ton ceased"

Dying Woman Tried Homemade Conn.

The coffin made for her by her hus-
band in the chamber where she lay
dying. and in which she reclined for
the purpose of ascertaining whether it
was a good fit, so well pleased Mrs.
Mary Moore Humphrey, of New Ha-
ven, Conn, that she encouraged Mr.
Humphrey to make others for him
self and his mother. He has accord
ingly done so and says they give
great satisfaction. The only criticism
Mrs. Humphrey had to offer was that
the coffin was "a trifle snug" at the
shoulders. 1t caused no great incon-
venience, however, and as she ex-
pected less discomfort when she occu-
pied It for the last time, she called for
no alterations. Monday she was laid
away in a coffin built in her presence.

In New York she was amazed to
find her conduct set forth in the

carefully. and, acting with fine dip

She knew when she returned that she
would have to take her place below
married ladies of other embassies, and
she was prepared to do SO without a
murmur. She went to the White
House dinner and had famous time
that evening with Minister WI, who
is great company for dinner or any.

Count Cassini. She is also good COM

luck.
Next day there were society reports
to the effect that the dashing little
Countess had been sat down on again
when in reality she had been well
treated and was delighted. She had
got over her disappointment and was

Privileges Of MatrOns.
When Mile Cassini was in Wash

under the rules which govern official
society, only matrons are given the
privileges and presidents Of heads
OF the households of ambassadors.
As a maiden she must give way to
al the married ladies OF the Diplo-

august uncle. Count Cassini, the Rus
sian ambassador, one of Russia's
strongest men. sympathized with her.
since through his influence she was
made a countess In her own right by
the car while in Russia last summer.

although just why is hardly clear.
