Judge Has . Good Voice.

William Jefferson Pollard, known
as the stentor of all Missouri" is now
judge of the Fourth District Court of
St. Louis. His voice, which is des-
cribed by an enthusiastic local paper
as weird, wonderful, witching, pow
erful as the basso profundo. penetrat-
ing as Ga@15e2S si2ver trumpet, and
sweet as an Aeolian harp" won him
the position of reading clerk in the
Missouri State Assembly, and in many
city and state Democratic conventions
He was also one of the reading clerks
In the Democratic national convention
at Chicago in 1896.

q. ava Filling Device.

A dt.Jice for use in constructing
graves, the invention Of Henry D.
Cameron, Of Burlington, Iowa. Is de-
signed to fill the grave with earth after
tho coffin has been lowered. and to
conceal as far as possible the actual
throwing Of tie dirt upon the coffin,
tho most trying termination of the
grave ceremony to tho bereaved
mourners. It consists of a receptacle.
with detachable sides and bottom, Ind
q gate in the latter sc arranged az to
be capable Of being opened to allow
the contents to fall. The front Is
flexible curtain, extending from the
top to the gate, and designed to pre-
vent the earth within from being seen.
This receptacle is filled with earth
previous to the ceremony and carried
to a convenient point. When all is
oyer and the Craze & "a BE dlied, Int
receptacle is placed over it, and the
gates opened. thus gently closing the
last sad scene in a much more fitting
manner than the seemingly cold
hearted return of tho earth with .
spade.

TRICK OF VOICE.

now Ono Lawyer Keeps tho judge From
Sleeping. .g
There Is said to be lawyer in Phil
adelphia who possesses a trick Of the
voice to which certain measure of his
practice ID due. The trick consists in
waking a Judge. Whether it is a COM
mon practice for the high dignitaries
Of the federal supreme bench to in
dulge in nap in the course of long
and tedious argument. such happen
ings are not unknown. and it is we'll
for an able logician of the bar to be
prepared for 1t. The trick of waking a
sleepy Judge would seem to be some
thing in the nature of slamming law
book under his nose or connecting his
personality with the current of an
electric battery. But the trick is ex-
planned as purely matter Of sound
involved in the skillful control Of the
voice. It Is said that barrister prac-
ticed in the art and rhetoric of address
Ing the bench can gather all the waves
of sound from his throat into focus
and deposit it in the orif1ce of the
Judges ear with the general effect OF
bomb. The trick. however it is ac-
complished, is said to have been worked
repeatedly with success on the late
Judge McKennan, whose habit Of going
to sleep on the bench was once no
torious subject of comment in the liti-
cation over the Berliner telephone pat
ents This queer trick of the voice,
while it is said to be the peculiar prop
erty Of one celebrated lawyer, is prob
ably attempted often with varying sue
cess by others.-Philadelp Record
