Next, the names of VIII L. Whitney
and S. Hackett Derby were proposed
for membership, having been posted for
the usual time, and they were elected
by reclamation.
From the committee appointed to
craft legislation relative to the admis-
sion of attorneys to practice at the bar,
Mr.. Judd reported that the chairman
was absent, but that the committee
would have certain recommendations to
make in the near future.
The chairman suggested that some
thing be done before the next meeting,
as the time for the assembling of the
legislature was drawing on fast.
Mr.. Judd said that he understood that
Chief Justice Frear had drawn bill
covering the matter, but that no copy
of the bill was at hand, and then the
committee was continued in the consid-
GRAFTON of the subject on the under
standing that it would have the pro-
posed new law ready for legislative
action
Mr.. Weaver, from the. committee on
the practice act, made report of prog
ress, which was accepted, as follows:
This committee recommends that
the Bar Association take steps:
"First-To have enacted in this Ter
ritory practice act.
Secondhand in such act, the dis
tinction between actions at law and
suits in equity and the forms thereof be
abolished, and one form of action and
one mode of pleading be provided for
all suits.
'fThat whenever there is a conflict be-
tween the principles of law and equity,
that the principle of equity shall gov

Grover Cleveland Out Of Politics,

Former President Grover Cleve
land denied that he had come to
New York City for any political
purpose, as was rumored.
He said: 81 came solely for the
purpose of attending the Beecher
memorial meeting in Brooklyn.
The report that had a political
talk with Edward N. Shepard,
William C. Whitney and others is
untrue.
II am not in politics. l AIN Out
for good. l only saw Mr.. Shepard
last night for two minutes, and
politics did not figure in our con-
versation. Politics is furthest
from my thoughts at present, al
though l am always ready to act
in an advisory capacity if so de-
sired.

politics, that is not to be consid-
cred"

Hauerman's New School

Prof. B. C. Hagerman, former
President of Hamilton College. has
concluded to open another school
in Lexington and to this end has
purchased the home of the late
Joseph Clark on West Second street
and will convert it into a college
for the higher education OF young
women. 1t is the intention OF
Prof. Hagerman to build a large
addition to the handsome Clark
residence and TO have the whole
in condition for occupancy by the
opening of school in the fall.
Prof. Hagerman has been engag-
ed in the work of educating young
women for number of years and
was formerly principal of Madison
Institute at Richmond. Under his
presidency Hamilton College has
progressed still further upon its
successful career, and while many
regret that he has severed his con-
nection there, they feel pleased that
he is to continue his work in Lex
ington. The price paid by Prof.
Hagerman has not been made pub
lie, but it is said to be very close
to $4,000.
Prof. Hagerman has struck on
the right principle to gain success
and Lexington is fine point by
reason of its location.

Decision Goes as Par Back as
1852.

Judge Cochran's decision in the
Federal Court in the case of Lock
ard VS.. the Asher Lumber Com
pany, of Clark county, involves the
famous Lockard patent of 1878 for
2, 400 acres of land in Harlan coun-
ty.
Judge Cochran holds that under
the statute of Kentucky in 1852,
which provides that patent for a
larger tract than 200 acres shall
not be Issued &c il; Ia eject and invai-
idates the Lockard patent, which
the court holds is null and void.
The decision is exhaustive and
wipes out every patent for more
than 200 acres issued since 1852.
1t will have a sweeping effect in
Eastern Kentucky lands, where ex
tensive patents are held by many
companies and persons, issued since
the 1852 statute.

OLD PARTISAN BOOKSELLER.
One of the Most Popular Vendors Of
Rare Books Is No More.


One of the most popular, as well as
most erudite Paris vendors of rare
books, M. Porquet, has died at an adj
yanced age, at his rooms in the Av-
enue de POpera, whittier he retired
when he gave up his remarkable shop
on the Quai Voltaire. The deceased;
says the London Telegraph, had SUI
perintended in his time sales of such
libraries as those Of the Comte de
Behange, the Marquis de Gamay,
the Baron de la Roche Lacarelle and
NJ. Lignerolles. During a space of 70
years NJ. Porquet kept his shop, and
would never have it lighted by gas.
For so years he had a single assistant,
who was specialist like himself. This
was Amadee. who was well known &c
many booklovers, and with whom the
Due d'Aumale never failed to shake
hands when he looked into the shop
on the Quai Voltaire. NJ. Porquet
made good deal of money out of his
sales. His only recreation after he
shut up his shop was to go to the
Coincide Franchise to witness one of
the classical plays, for he abhorred the
romanticists and the realists. The
old bookseller had presented the
Coincide with very rare edition Of
Moliere, published in 1866. nre-

Bryan a Man Of Principles.

Col. W. j. Bryan said, in refer
ring to his recent visit to ne"
York, that the people in New YORK
knew less about politics than west
ern people knew.
"They asked me about Judge
Parker" he said, "and toid tne"
[ could say nothing until | knew
his attitude on public questions.
They ans wered that he was Judge
and that it would not be proper for
him to discuss political topics. l
think Hill is tossing a penny to see
whether he or Judge Parker VIII
run. The trouble with the plan is
that Hill has an old penny that ne
has tossed so often that he does not
know which side is head and which
is tail.
"what Congress has done is east
lv ascertained. Find out how
much there was in the treasury be-
fore the session began and find out
how much there is now. The won
der is that they did not take it all
81 believe the Democratic party
has taken the peoples side of the
public questions discussed in 1896
and In 1900, and l believe that it
will only be question of time, and
not a long time, either, before
enough Republicans will be dis
gusted with the policy of the Re-
publican party to put the Demo-
cratic party in power again.
"Cowardice cannot win. Such a
victory, when won, will bring re-
lief to the people from all the
vicious policies of the Republican
party. We cannot win victory
by compromises or cowardice, and
if we should win victory by such
means it would be as disastrous to
the party as Mr.. Cleveland's vic
tory in 1892 proved to be-"
Asked his opinion on the Wabash
strike, Bryan said:
"The merits of the controversy
between the company and its en-
pioYes are overshadowed by the
menace of the process known as
government by injunction. The
Democrats have long been calling
attention to the danger that turks
in the abuse of the judicial power,
but it seems to take several object
lessons to make the people ac-
quainted with bad principle"

sALIsBURY's POOR MEMORY.
Late Prime Minister Lived in World
Apart from Others.

Apart from Others.
Whatever may be the cause, says
the Review of Reviews, there is no
installing the fact that Mr.. Balfour's
succession to the premiership has oc-
casioned less stir than many political
incidents of much less importance.
Mr.. Gladstone lived ever in the pub
lie eye. Week days and Sundays he
was always doing and saying some
thing which afforded material for
newspaper comment. The public
took the keenest interest in his books.
MS porcelain, in his cutting down
trees at Hawarden, in his reading the
services in the parish church. He was
performer always in the glare of the
footlights, whether in office or out Of
it. Lord Salisbury lived in compare
tive seclusion. If he did not direct
the affairs Of a worldwide empire
from hermitage, he governed it from
Hatfield, and often for weeks he
would never leave his retreat, even for
the purpose of meeting the diplo-
matte representatives Of other powers
at the foreign Office.
The Cecils are a world unto them
selves and if Lord Salisbury may not
be exactly be said to be one of those
world forgetting mortals by the world
forgot, he lived and lives apart. OF
late years his memory has failed him,
not for facts so much as for faces,
and all manner of odd stories are cur
rent as to the mistakes which he made
owing to his inability to distinguish
between individuals.
On one occasion a worthy wine
merchant, who was invited to spenda
week end in family party at Hat
field, is said to have been mistaken
by the late prime minister for Lord
Roberts. The delusion was so com
plete that, after opening the CONVEX
sation at the dinner table, he carried
his astonished guest off into the
library and insisted upon learning
from his uninstructed lips exactly
what he thought of the campaign in
Africa. '"Tell me, so the story goes,
"tell me-" he said to the fattered
but bewilderedIwine merchant, "what
yon really think of the the war ii ii South South
Africa. VIII Lord Kitchener make
as great a mess of it as all our other
generals?"
The good man rose to the situation,
and was rewarded by being anxiously
asked by the prime minister what he
would do if he were in South Africa
at that moment. 1t was not until the
following day that the guest was
aware OF the reason for the strange
solicitude which the prime minister
had shown for his opinion upon mil
itary tactics.
On another occasion he is said to
have asked who that remarkably in
telligent young man was with whom
he had just been transacting business.
at is one Of your private secretaries"
was the reply. When a man forgets
the face of a private secretary and
confounds wine merchants with COM
manders-in-chief it is not surprising
that he shouldfnd the time had come
for his departure.

day from Denver. After talk with

good said:
There is no quarrel between inter
ests in the board of directors of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company, and
the company is entirely solvent. Sc
far as / know there is no reason for a
reorganization. The delay in paying
the 100000 in notes recently was due
to misunderstanding covering which
statement may be issued but do
not intend to issue one now. A meet
ing OF the directors will probably be
held this week, but no date has YET
been fixed.
