Sometimes" said a prominent law
yer. who was giving some reminis-
cences of his professional career, ac-
cording to the Youths Companion. "a
case is won or lost for you right in
the court room without your lifting
your finger-or. rather, your voice.
Il was once counsel for the plaintiff
in a suit for infringement of trade
mark. My client made a brand of
chewing gum put up in blue wrap
per. This wrapper had been widely adj
vertised, and was good thing to catch
the eye in candy cOuntr. The defend
ant had got up a pretty close imita-
tion at distance it looked the same,
although the words were different, and
nothing was copied except the general
appearance, which is, for advertising
purposes, half the value of distinctive
label
THE opposing counsel made out
pretty good case, showing that in
wording, the shape of the letters and
other points the clients wrapper was
different from the plaintiffs.
why he said picking up one
wrapper and showing it to the jury,
would any one mistake this wrapper
for that of the plaintiff? See,' he con-
tinued, reaching down for the other,
they are entirely different
Il told him to hold the two just as
he had them. He paused at my inter-
ruption, wondering what l was up to.
His wonder changed to confusion when
he found that he had mistaken them
himself, and picked up my clients
wrapper first. 1t took two words from
me to win the case"

What will probably be the most ex-
pensive book of the season is now UNI
der way for private publication for
some 300 members of the Philadelphia
Stock Exchange. 1t is burlesque on
the members, the letter press being inn
aginative biographies, and the illustra-
tions, which is the chief part of the
volume, is by well known cartoonist.
The subscription price is 800, but
premium of SIS is already quoted and
the market will probably go up.
During the next few weeks says
London Chronicle. Mr. Choate, the
American ambassador, will do most of
his work at his residence in Carlton
House Terrace. The embassy in Vic
toria street Will be for some time in
the hands of the decorator, and among
the improvements to be effected, in
view of the coronation, will be an in
stallation of the electric light Patri-
otto Americans generally grumble when
the come here about the way in which
their country's representatives are
housed. They think, naturally enough,
that America in this, as in other re-
spects, should compare favorably with
France, Germany or Russia. AS it is,
the American ambassador has himself
to rent a mansion to live in, which
means no small expense"

THE OUTLOOK FOR DEMOCRATIC
SUCCESS

The feeling among Democratic lead
ers is that their party will be sue
eessful in the Congressional elections
next fall and in the presidential con-
test in 1904. They think the outlook
for Democratic control of the legisIa-
tive and executive branches of the
government has not been so encourag-
ing in years.
1t is evident that the Republican
leaders are uneasy over the outlook
for their party. They have no leader
in either the House or the Senate
that is, no leader is obeyed and fol-
lowed. The ship subsidy bill, although
a party measure did not command the
full Republican vote. A half a dozen
of the ablest of the Republican sena-
tors refused to support it. And it is
the understanding that it has no chance
of passing the House. Indeed, it is
the belief that it has been abandoned
for this session.
The Cuban relief bill is an admin
istration measure. The Republican
leader of the House could not hold his
party together in support of it. 1t was
amended by Democrats with the as
sistance of "insurgent" Republicans,
the purpose of the "insurgent" Repub-
licans being to kill it. What it's fate
Will be in the Senate it is impossible
to predict with any degree of certain
ty. The probability is that the Sen
ate will frame an entirely new bill,
with the hope that the House will sup
port it.
1t is well known fact that there is
a great deal of dissatisfaction among
the Republicans of the House with
the President He has strong friends
there, but there are men of his party
in that body-a good many of them
who would not hesitate to use their in
fluence and political power against him.
And there appears to be pretty much
the same condition of affairs in the
Senate. But, outside of the disagree
ments among Republican leaders there
is growing feeling of distrust of the
Republican party. 1t is regarded as
the friend of trusts.
The men who are at the head of the
syndicate that is buying up and con-
solidating the railroads of the country
and has just succeeded in forming a
steamship combination to control the
traffic of two oceans are understood to
be Republicans.
On the other hand. there is a very
fair prospect of Democratic harmony.
The factions are getting together. In
the congressional campaign no dis
agreements in respect to platform de-
clarations have cropped out and the
belief prevails that before the meeting
of the next national convention there
will Le such complete harmony that
there will be no trouble in making a
platform upon which all Democrats
can stand. 1t is not matter of Won
der, therefore, that the reports that
come from Washington respecting
Democratic prospects are of the most
cheering kind.

In a neighboring city lives young
man whose name is Carr. Carr is
deeply smitten with the charms of
young woman who resides with her
mother in a pretty villa near Sand
lake on the line of the Troy and New
England Railroad, says the Albany
Press. He asked permission of his in
amorata to call upon her at her home,
and the young woman accorded him
the privilege. Now, the cars on the
Troy and New England road are not
yet running on the summer schedule,
and often villagers at Averill Park and
the simple farmer folk of Rensselaer,
who patronize the road are compelled
to wait many minutes for a vehicle.
Mr.. Carr reached the villa where his
Juliet resided, and pressed the electric
button on the door. The ring was
answered by the mother Of the young
woman. The latter had never seen
the young man. I'm Mr.. Carr" he
said, bowling profoundly
I'm erwell," was the reply which
staggered him, you may sit on the
stoop until one comes along"
Five minutes later the daughter told
her mother she expected a caller, and
asked who had rung the bell. She was
informed that there was a young man
sitting on the stoop who had missed
the car. The daughter rubbered
through the blinds and saw her lover
perched disconsolately on the steps.
He was quickly within the portals and
mutual explanations followed.

A zinc Distinction.

Speaking of Republicans who are try
ing to be protectionists and free trad
ers at the same time, Representative
Fordney of Michigan tells this story,
according to the Washington Post:
They are like an old root doctor out
in my district he says, who went to
see man who was i'll with ague He
fixed up two glasses of medicine-'one
for fever and one for chills, as he
said to the mans wife.
But she said, they are both alike.
I saw you scrape the bark off that root
and put the same bark in each glass.
d" But you did not notice how l did
it, replied the doctor. For chills I
scraped the bark up the root, and that
makes it high For the
fever l scraped it down the root, and
that makes it low-cockalorum. Don't
you see?'
And with this explanation" says
Mr.. Fordney, 1.-THE good woman had to
be satisfied"

Engineers are preparing plans and
specifications for operating the noun
tain sections of the Great Northern
Railway by electrical power. President
Hill OF the Great Northern says there
are tens of thousands of horsepower
of energy going to waste over the
waterfalls along the line of the road
in the Cascade Mountains. and that
he sees no reason why this power might
not be economically utilized in the run
ming of trains over the road. He is
having plans made for electrical pro-
pulsion over one section of "a hundred
miles. During the past month engi-
neers have been locating water power
rights and power house sites on the
rivers and creeks in the mountains. The
third rail system viii be employed, and
if present plans are adhered to, cleo
trically propelled trains will be running
within a year.

1t is the sayings of children that make
men wise, childish prattle turned to
profit that makes men rich. In each
sweet-tongued expression there is a
lesson learned or an argument con-
clusively settled, says the Philadelphia
Telegraph. This is particularly true
of two tiny tots who toddled down the
street hand in hand the other day.
In few words they decided a much
mooted question, and those who be-
lieve that the human being is a de-
scendant of the monkey and wonder
what became of the hairy covering that
still adorns the simian tribe can now
rest in peace.

An enthusiastic anti-beef trust agi-

endless chain scheme to cut off the
trusts sales and make it understand

fourteen friends to join him in writing
four letters each to friends, asking
them to duplicate the letters to four of
their friends each, and so on, request

One Temperance Lecture That Fall


Sir Wilfrid Lawson says that he
never received a knock-down till. es-
plying labOrer walking along with
the old. familiar black bottle protrud-
ing from his pocket, he entered into
conversation with him, and pointed out
the misery which had resulted from
the bottle and earnestly exhorted the
man to flee from it's contents, says the
Chicago Record Herald.
The man was so overcome that he
took out the receptacle and emptied the
liquor into the road.
Sir Wilfrid's face beamed with pleas
ure. and. handing the man sixpence, he
said: Take that; it will buy you
something better"
The man, to the disgust of Sir VIII
frid. entered a public house and spent
the siXpence in beer. The liquor he
had thrown away was cold tea.

A jealous woman in Massilon, o.,
tried the cold water cure upon herself
the other day, with eminent success.
She jumped into the river with suicidal
intent. The water was very cold. so
she waded out and went home, with
the jealousy completely drowned out
She says now that she despises the
man with whom she was formerly so
much in love, and means to live to
show him how much she despises him.

In the course of a speech in Pitts
burg the other day Mr.. Andrew Car
negie uttered a word of warning to
worhngmen. At present, he said, they
were enjoying fat times. but such
times could not last always. Since the
beginning of history there had been
fat years and lean years, and they
would continue to alternate through
all time. In view of this immutable
law, 1t would be the part of wisdom
for the workingmen to save a part of
their earnings now, laying it up against
a rainy day" The advice was, I'M
questionably good; but will it be gen
orally accepted? Those who work with
their hands are proverbially free spend
ers. II their capacity to save was
commensurate with their capacity to
earn, they would not long remain de-
pendent on their daily labor.

There is a rumor to the effect that
Mr. Adolph Ochs, owner of the three
Times newspapers in Chattanooga,
New York and Philadelphia, will be-
come the purchaser of the Philadelphia
Record when that valuable property is
sold on May IS next. 1t is estimated
that the value of the Record is some
where in the neighborhood of $1,000
900. Should he purchase the paper, it is
said Mr.. Ochs would consolidate it with
the Philadelphia Times under the title
of the Times Record. That would give
him one of the most valuable and in
fuential newspaper properties in the
state of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Ochs' sue
cess with his New York Times, which
is now second to no newspaper in that
city, is evidence of his ability as
newspaper man. The career of this
young Southerner in his chosen field
has been brilliant. In 1870 he was
newsboy on the streets of Knoxville,
and in 1873 worked as printer in the
same city. Five years later he be-
came the publisher of the Chattanooga
Times, since which date he has worked
steadily upwards.

a poor man, he cannot afford the ex
pense that would be involved. 1t is
well for the credit of the country that
Capt. Clark has declined the assign
ment. In London he would be a con-
spicuous figure. He would be pointed
out as one of the most brilliant cap
tains of the naval campaign against
Spain. 1t would be recalled that he
took the battleshio Oregon on her rec
ord breaking voyage half around the
world and brought her to the fighting
line, without a bolt started or a valve
leaking. ready to take her place, as
she actually did, with the best ships of
the Atlantic fleet; that not only did
Clark and the Oregon make the voy-
age successfully, but they were in at
the death of the last Spanish ship.
And then the British people would be-
gin asking. ''If he has done these mag
nificent things, why is he still merely
a captain? Have not others who did
less been loaded with honors and prize
money? How is it that Taylor and
Evans are rear admirals, while Clark
is lower in the list of captains than
he was before the war with Spain ?"

all means best that Capt. Clark should
not go to the coronation.
