or in harmonious union. Presenting q
solid front we Will always win.
lone of the objects of this association,
declared in it's constitution, is to ele-
vate the standard of integrity, honor and
courtesy in the legal profession This
standard is fixed not entirely from with
in, but partly from without We can
would the estimate which the people put
upon the profession only by placing it
ourselves upon a plane of the highest in
tegrity and the loftiest professional and
moral rectitude. The repute in which a
man is held by the public is fixed by
the manner in which he presents himself
to the public eye and this applies equally
to an organization of men. The reputa-
ton of the Bar in any community or
State is the reputation of it's least wor-
thy members, as the strength of chain
is the strength of it's weakest link. It is
unfortunate that this is so, but it is so.
The practices of one corrupt or dishon-
est attorney in a community will tend to
impair the reputation and character of
the entire local Bar. The public, instead
of confining its criticism to the particu-
lar man, will include in its condemnation
all the others. 1t is not uncommon to
hear a man say that when a lawyer dis
graces his profession that his brethren
do not punish him or see that he atones
for his offence This wholesale condem-
nation is manifestly unjust to the Bar,
and yet many people approve it.
TO some extent, perhaps, the Bar has
been and is responsible for such adverse
public criticism. We must admit that no
profession has measured up to it's
full duty in the matter of purging it's
ranks of men who have been unfaithful
to their professional obligations. Obe-
dience to the constitutional mandate, |
have cited. is a duty resting upon us. In
the execution of that duty we have not
yet been given the necessary power. This
association in my opinion ought to be
given legislative authority to disbar any
lawyer in the State. whether a member
OF this association or not, who shall
prove to be, after due investigation, un-
worthy. This authority can be exercised
through some judicial medium estab-
lished by law and controlled by this body.
If this association is to elevate the
standard of the reputation of the Bar of
the State. it must necessarily have the
power to preserve the standard by ridding
the profession of disreputable members.
As yet, we have not the power, but we

4 CRASH IN THE FOG
The Powhatan Rips Open the
Priscilla.
The Stern Driven Twenty Feet Into Priscilla
Hull, One Man Killed in His
Buak.
(By the Associated Press)

Newport, July 9.-Stern first, with head
even with low water and a dead man in
her hold the Fall River Line steamer
Priscilla was dragged TO her berth here
today by the steamer Puritan of the
same line. The dead man was John
Muniz, Portuguese deck hand, who was
crushed TO death while asleep in his
bunk. The Priscilla collided in fog
with the Merchants and Miners Trans
portation COmpany's steamer Powhatan
in Narragansett Bay, off Point Judith.
and for six hours waited for help to
come. At last the steamer Puritan of
The Fail River Line, heard signals Of
distress, and went to the aid of her sis
tel ship.
The Priscilla was bound for New York
She left here a trihe late and put out
in a dense fog After an hours run,
when the ship was between Brenton' S
Reef lightship and Point Judith, she was
struck on the port bow by the sharp bow
OF the other steamship with practically
no warning. The vessels separated and
The Priscilla showed signs that she was
badly damaged. By jettisoning part of
her cargo the vessel was lightened until
her pumps kept her Gfoat.
The Priscilla was struck fair and her
bow was nearly cut off. The stem of
the Powhatan penetrated fully 90 feet into
the hull of the Priscilla. The washroom
on the main deck, and the sleeping quar-
ters and steering engine compartment
below, were wrecked and the steel plates
of the bow were torn well below the
water line. The forward bulkhead was
broken through, thus placing two COM
partments out of condition and rapidlv
sending the steamer down so that her
stern came out and the rudder was rem
dered useless. The inflow of water very
soon eXtinguishcd the electric lights. the
dynamo room being in the vicinity of
tho DANA ged part of the ship.
The passengers, most of whom were in
led, were turned out of their rooms in
darkness and the men on the ship passed
out life prcservers by candle light, The
passengers though badly frightened, were
not panic-stricken and after the first OK
element busted themselves by getting
together their belongings, so that when
they reached the landing they were able
10 disembark quietly and without loss of
property.
The officers Of the Priscilla state that
the Powhatan had not been regularly
sounding her Whistles and that when she
did at a late moment, she gave the
wrong signal and then the crash came.
Tho Powhatans men stated that the
Priscilla came suddenly out of hank Of
fog and that the ships came together af-
ter an exchange of signals before any
thing could be done to avert a collision.

Just now as we came in off the

years old, flying a feather for a
kite, writes a tourist in the Manila

than two inches long, and an inch
wide at the faring end. He had
thread tied to 1t in two places. OF
course the feather did not fly much
but the boy amused himself with it
for more than five minutes that we

Mysterious Waters.

In the presence or your company
place on each side of table knife
three waters. Take the knife by the
handle and turn it over several times
TO show that the waters are all on.
Request one of the party to take
wafer from one side of the blade, turn
the knife over two or three times,
and there will seem to be only two
waters on each side; take off another
wafer, turn the knife as before, and II
will appear as if only one wafer was
on each side; take the third wafer
off, and again trrn the knife dexter
ously twice or thrice, and it will APP
pear as If all the waters had disap-
pearod from each side. Next turn the
knife once or twice more, and three
waters will appear on each side, as
at the first. In performing the trick
use waters all of one size and color
and always have one side of the knife
uppermost, SO that tho waters may
be taken one by one from that side;
three waters will thus be left I'M
touched on the other side, and after
you have made it appear that there
are no waters on either side, you may,
to all appearance, show tnree on each.
When turning the knife you must.
as you lift it up. turn it completely
round with your finger and thumb, so
as always to bring the same side up
permost.
