Vanderbilts Tighten Their Grip on

Chicago. June 10.-The hold which the
Vanderbilts have on the Northwestern
railway property has been materially
Increased during the last year and is
now apparently so firm that scare like
that which the Rock Island interests
gave them is impossible of repetition
This fact developed in the forty-fourth
annual meeting of the Stockholders
which held here yesterday, when the
shares voted by the Vanderbilt interests
were greatly in excess OF those VouSu
last year.
So far as could be learned not a hos
tile interest appeared In the meeting

Indicate that unless the Nanderollls
chose to permit it there is no danger OF
Northwestern control falling into other
hands.

Beecher happened to be on board. As
the ferryboat felt Its way into the slip
Mr.. BeeCher seemed to be looking on
nbstraCtcdly. As the boat struck the
piling at the side, which creakingly
yielded, Mr.. Beecher's face lighted up.

er's method of sermonZinE. remarked
to the other: There will be something
about that in tomorrow's sermon. LET
us go and see" The men were in Plyr-
outh church the following morning as
suggested. Sure enough, in the course
of the sermon Mr. Beecher made some
such reference as this: There are in
every community men who perform
for society the service that yonder pill
ing does in the ferry slip-when they
are struck they gracefully yield, yet
are not quite swept from their position
They stand for principle, but they tact

had resided here in good faith at least one year
before the filing OF this libel, that your libel

saying that if lawyer had played

in truth these evil birds of prey are
not the majority In the law. If they
were more than a small minority our
profession could not sustain the almost
boundless confidence it enjoys from the
whole business world. Remember. a
lawyer is judged day by day, and by
his deeds he is justified or condemned
If significant number of us We're
traitors to our clients or if by our
hypocrisy we undermined the body Of
professional ethics, the keen and IN
deceived men of this generation would
not be placing Ill lawyers hands every
day their most momentous interests
and trusting implicitly in the honesty
of their advice. Suppose we do have
our little professional attitudes and
poses and ponposities; those are but
superficial manneriSms which may
make us awkward and tedious When

to do with our faithfulness to our eli
