Only One Blockhead Left.

Conversation became reminiscent at
the Lawyers club, the other day, the
late Judge James T. Brady being the
subject. A veteran practitioner, who
knew him well, said:
"Brady's first attempt at practicing
law was In very humble quarters, in
the rear of a cobbler's shop in Fulton
street, near William. One day an
Irishman who called and inquired for
the cobbler, was told by Brady that he
was out. Peering about the room of
the newly-fedged lawyer, scantily fur
nished with two implanted chairs and
a deal table, he inquired:

Brady.

1t is believed that orders will or have

aggressive action at present, pend

This came in the form of a proposal
through the United States government

Lord ~Lansdowne announced later In
the day in the house of lords, is "now

grettable as it was, this statement re-
lieves the affair Of the first suspicion
that it constituted a violation of in

as to the notice applies to unfortified

Commission Adverse to Widening

Scope of the Investigation.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE mine
workers, after occupying nineteen
days in presenting about 100 wit
nesses, practically closed their ase
before the anthracite coal strike com
mission yesterday afternoon. They
will call one important witness this
morning. The afternoon session was
one of the most important sittings the
commission has yet held, because the
question of whether the close relation
ship of the coal-carrying roads with
the mining companies shall figure in
the carrying roads with the mining
companies shall figure in the commits
sion's efforts to adjust the controversy,
came squarely before the arbitrators.
The decision of the commission, If
Chairman Gray's remarks can be so
called, was briefly this:
That the commission in a general
way, is adverse to widening the scope
of the investigation beyond the terms
of the submissions of the miners and
the operators: that in carrying on the
investigation it assumes the coal COM
panies can afford to pay fair wages;
that if the coal companies, in present
ing their side of the case, maintain
they cannot afford to give an increase
in wages, then the commission will
hear what the miners have to say on
the ability of the companies to do so,
and that if a business cannot pay fair
wages the employer ought to get out
of it. These points were brought out
during the two hours consumed by the
miners lawyers reading documentary
evidence, to the whole of which the
coal companies entered specific and
general objections.
