Old-Time Admission TO the Bar.

when / was admitted to the bar
down in Virginia" remarked Colonel
Charles Marshall, "the requirements
of examinations were not so rigid as
young lawyers must now meet. The
ambitious young man who desired to
practice in the courts then had TO be
examined and have his certificate
signed by three judges. Sometimes it
was difficult to reach them. I went to
town where one Judge was holding
court, and was duly examined by him.
The second Judge was content to let
it go at that, and also signed my certi-
ficate Then l went after the third
Judge, and found him on the road near
his home. stated that l had already
been before two Judges. He asked me
only two questions. One was whether
liked steel or quill pens best, and the
other whether l would go home with
him to dinner. | answered the first
question to his satisfaction and the
second to mine"

PRIESTS LAST WILL
A Paragraph May Cost the Estate a Large
Sum.

Pittsburg, Pa.-When the Rev. Faith
er o. p. Gallagher, for twenty-five
years pastor of st Johns Roman Cath
Ollie Churchc, died. he left an estate
valued at $50, 600, and will in which
he stated that Patrick j. Brady owed
him $4,000 for education and clothing
He said Brady had often promised to
pay the money. but had never done
so.
81 now solemnly declare that ! re-
fuse to relieve him from the obligation
of payment in full" were the priests
words. Then ne willed the amount to
James Corcoran and Michael Gala
CHER, with instructins to collect the
money
Mr.. Brady today entered suit in the
Allegheny County Court for $4,000
damages for INJURY to character caused
by the dead priests will. He and his
family were Johnstown sufferers. He
claims that Father Gallagher volun-
teered to send him to school. and did
so, but did not spend anything like
$4,000 for his education.
There was a distinct understanding,
he asserts, that the money was not to
be repaid, his parents being unable to
repay 1t. He says no demand was ev-
er made on him afterward for the re-
payment of the money, and that the
sending and reading of certified copies
of the will every five years-the $40, 900
being a perpetual endowment-will be
a blot on his name for all time. Law
yers say that this is the first time that
such suit has been entered.

lSthmlan Canals.

The Suez canal is to be enlarged.
An English hydraulic engineer is at
work on the plans and declares that
the work can be done at a reasonable
figure. The idea is to enlarge the
great waterway by the use of dredges
which is a comparatively inexpensive
process. The water in the canal will
average 24A feet depth the entire
length, and it is proposed to make it
35 fett in order to accommodate the in
crease in draft of the big freight carry
ing ocean steamers. Such enlargement
is bound to prove very profitable un-
dertaking, as it will make the water
way available for any vessel which
may come along.
The Suez canal lacks very little of
being 100 miles in length; it is 70 feet
wide at the bottom and 1876 feet at the
top. 1t cost $1O0,O0O,000, but it is said
only 5S per cent. of the amount actual
ly went into the construction of the
canal. The canal was dug by Arab
slaves, who removed the dirt with their
hands and carried it away in baskets
This was slow work, but the water
way was ready for commerce within
eleven years after it was commenced.
1t was begun in 1859. and the opening
took place November II, 1869. The
company that started the enterprisa
which reflected so much credit on the
great French engineer, Ferdinand De
Lesseps, was incorporated with capi-
tai of $4S, 100000. There were 100000
shares in the corporation, bearing per
cent. interest. which was to be paid
during the construction. France was
the motive power in the construction
of this canal, but England. by the sub
sequent purchase of 10000 shares at
113, now quoted at $50, succeeded to
the French control. These shares have
received as high as 23 per cent. in an
nual dividends. The traffic on the
canal has exceeded even the expecta-
tions of its builders. In recent years
the receipts from tolls have reached
$14,000,000 annually.
This success of the Suez canal is an
inspiring one for the promoters of the
Nlcaraguan enterprise, which in time is
bound to prove equally profitable.
When the canal was first opened the
tolls were So per ton capacity for each
ship and 81 for each passenger. In
1885 these rates were retudecd to $1.S5
per ton capacity. Such tolls are pro-
hibitory for low grade freights, and
these still go around the capes. Since
the canal has been lighted by electri-
city its capacity has more than doub-
led. Previous to this time. vessels in
the canal had to come to anchor during
the night time. Now the passage is a
continuous one. The time of transit
has likewise been reduced. The ave-
rage time is now 22 hours and 9 min
utes, while it used to require nearly
"a hours. The average toll of YES
sells passing through the canal is
about $4,000 each. There is little
doubt but that canal through the
isthmus would soon be.
come as great money-maker as the
SueZ waterway.

The annual report of the English
commissioner of prisons, which has
just been published, gives some in
structive criminal statistics. The
English prisons act of 1898 made
number of changes in existing meth
ods, all of them tending toward a les
sening of severity. Among other
changes corporal punishment was
much restricted and the prison dietary
improved. The present report shows
that instead of leading to the immedi-
ate increase of minor offenses. which
was predicted by many, there has been
a considerable decrease in this form Of
crime, and there are now 1882 less con.
yicts in English prisons than there
were year ago, the figures being for
1909, 169,367, and for 1899. 17S .999

There are signs that the long-dis-
tance telephone will supDlant the tele.
graph in many places where the latter
is now exclusively used, but it is doubt
full whether telephone system will
prove anything but supplemental in
railroadlng. OF course there is much
business that can be done by word OF
mouth, but the regulation of the move
ment of trains must be accomplished
with the aid of system which will
permit the preservation of an authen-
tic record of orders given, as telegra~
ply does Perhaps a device may be
invented which will accomplish this
result, If so. there can be no question
about the great advantages which a
good plain talk would have over a sys-
TEN in which brevity is carried to the
limit.

The Value of Pushing.

This is the time of the year when the
business man of Judgment looks into
the matter of making his store bright
or and making his advertising cores
pond with the surroundings. The
bright season is here. the bright goods
are in stock and bright Advertising is
necessary to distinguish one bright
stock from another. Ii the field in
which man is doing business we're
his own exclusive property he would
not have to put this brightness into his
advertising or his goods this season
and might escape next, but the man
who has field in which he is indepen-
dent can only go along at that rate for
given time, for he certainly will Gre
ate competition if he fails to furnish
what the people want in the way of
popular things, and by his very failure
to tell in popular language about the
goods he carries which are worth the
attention of his friends. The fact is,
almost every business man creates his
own competition. 1t will always be so
and, perhaps, it is just as WELL The
man who comes to a point where he
doesn't plan for bright effects in his
store and in his advertisements is ere
atlng an opposition in his own territn-
ry which he will probably never be able
to overcome and for which he has no
body to blame but himself. -Avoca

According to DR. g L Spencer,
an expert special agent of the
United States department of ag-
riculture, there were in operation
at the close of the census year
thirty-seven beet sugar factories
in the United States, capable of
manufacturing 24O,OOO tons of SUI
gar annually. DR. Spencer in his
review of the industry says; eek
perience has demonstrated that
the greatest problems in the Amer
lean beet sugar industry are to be
found in the field rather than the
factory. Itshould notbe assumed
from this statement that suitable
baets are difficult to grow in sat
refractory quantities; the problem
is to convince the farmer that with
persistent effort and experience be
will find sugar beets q surer and
more profitable crop than many
others"
