A DRAMATIC LAWYER.

Effective Climax That Resulted In
Setting a Murderer Free.
Lachaud. the great French advocate,
was renowned for deliberate but telling
dramatic improvisations, as it were,
upon the original theme.
At one time, for instance, he was de-
tending a murderer on Dec. "a. All
day long he harassed witnesses, re
calling them, causing delay after de-
lay before getting his hnal address to
the jury. 1t was well on in the even
ing before he commenced. Then sud
denly, at the height Of his passionate
appeals for the prisoner, the slow, sol
emn bells of the cathedral next door
pealed for the midnight mass-the first
mass of Christmas morning. Lachaud
stopped as If overwhelmed by a sud
den warning.
"Do you hearY he said solemnly
after a moments silence, and his man
ner conveyed that all his own glib
eloquence had been shattered by the
divine interruption Of Christ himself.
''The Redeemer comes to amend our
pitiable endeavors. Which of us would
dare now, on this great day of mercy
and forgiveness, to condemn another
human being and, above all, to con
denim one whose culpability is more
than doubtfulT
The prisoner was acquitted without
the least difficulty, though his death
sentence ten minutes before had beer
regarded as certain. The actual sound
Of the pealing bells had been too much
for nerves already strained to snap
ping point by the fatigue of a Ions
days sitting.
But nobody guessed, except the few
who knew Lachaud intimately, thai
he had been maneuvering from the
time the court opened In the morning
to get that one stirring effect. The
prisoner was a dead man without
and saved as certainly If 1t could b'

RESTING IN MlpAIR.
Faculty OF Poistng Possessed by
some of the Largest Birds.

Faculty OF Potstng Possessed by
Some of the Largest Birds.
''While 1 never have seen it explained
in print" said one of the ornithological
sharps Of the zoo, 1T is wonder to
me persons should express amazement
at the ability Of certain birds to hang
poised in the air without wing motion.
'Tt is a favorite trick of the great
condor. Away in the air, far beyond
the mountain tops, these birds hang
poised as motionless as if perched on
solid rock. True, their wings are out
stretched, but even through glasses not
the slightest motion is perceptible.
They remain in this position for many
minutes, sometimes for an hour, max
ing a careful scrutiny Of everything be-
low them in their search for prey.
Then, with a slight fitting Of the wings,
they Zap slowly away, or, having
found what they were seeking, dart
like a bullet toward it. The eagle,
hawk and other species have this same
faculty of poising apparently on moth
ing.
"These birds move about until they
meet an uprising current of air. 1t
may come from Immediately beneath
them, from wind detected by striking
a cliff along the sea, or may come
from a great distance, where a rush
ing wind struck the side of a noun
tain and was turned upward. Being
on the wing most Of the time in search
of prey, they have learned to utilize
these uprushing air currents for their
own purposes. Coming to one Of these
and heading to the wind, they fix their
pinions at an angle which will permit
them to rest there and scrutinize some
thing that has taken their attention
perhaps on the plain below. Thus,
while they seem poised on nothing. the
air current rushing upward buoys
them.
"You see the same thing in mid
ocean when ships are followed by
fiocks Of gulls, in some rare case clear
across the ocean. When the ships start
out the gulls fly here and there, some
times away on high and again skim
ming the surface of the water in
search of food. AS the hours and days
pass they tire, and then you will see
them poise for rest on the air current
rising from the stern Of the ship. The
onrush OF an ocean greyhound creates
a swiftly rising air current in its wake
This curls over like a wave and rushes
into the vacuum made by the steamer
and on 1t the gulls are carried along
without effort and at the same speed
at which the ship is travelling. New

his brush came into use again-''you

Bryan would be able to refrain from
taking a speaking part in the discus
sion that has been going on during the
summer on the race problem and the
epidemic OF mob violence in both the
North and the South. He has offered
his contribution on the subject both
in an address before an Ohio chautau-
qua and in the editorial columns Of his
newspaper. and has fallen into the err
ror of better-informed men Of trying to
inject politics into the consideration Of
the question. AS a result of this, he
has given utterance to expressions that
will probably be resented by Southern
ers, who have been his most ardent ad-
mirers and political followers.
In his attempt to compare the condi-
tion Of the negro of the South with
that of the native Filipinos, Mr.. Bryan
has exhibited q lack of information
upon the race question that has not
been excelled, even by Senator Burton
in his debates with Senator Tillman.
He contends that the suffrage amend
ments 70 the constitutions of several
Southern States are not nearly so Sc
we're as the Republican colonial policy
in the Philippines. He contends that
o'ilit VI AlAt ltblbto Adil NOAt III dAA Va
the Southern States, while the Filipinos
are permanently disqualified. He also
asserts that the negroes are protected
by Federal statutes, while the Filipinos
have no constitutional protection. As
climax to his Misrepresentation, OF
lack Of proper information, Mr.. Bryan
asserts that the Filipinos are compelled
to live under laws which we make foI
them and would not live under our
selves, while the negro in the South
lives under the laws which are made
by the white men for white men and
negroes alike. The records Of Con-
gress dispute and refute every state
ment made by Mr.. Bryan with refer
ence to the status Of the Filipinos. The
native Filipino is not permanently dis
franchised but has a right to vote ir
local affairs, and is soon to have the
same right with regard to an insulai
legislature. The Filipino has all of the
protection. under the bill Of rights, thai
may be claimed by an American either
who is resident of the archipelago. The
Filipino is living under the laws which
he is helping to make. and under this
same laws that govern the white mer
there.

There is Pennypacker OF Pennsylvania,

he would doubtless be clamoring for
those reform editors that they might be

heads set upon poles. And in Delaware
the political highwaymen who have
been so long smarting under the edito-

to throttle a free press.
But there is one item that they have
failed to note in their calculation. The
leaders Of public thought Of this coun-
