PEOPLES SAVINGS
 BANK Of Bridgeport Sued by Dr Wallace of Warren, Pa., Administrator on his
 Wife's Estate.
MRS w. D. B. FERRIS THE
 REAL DEPENDANT.
On the Outcome of this Suit Hangs
 the Fate of Similar Suits.

The sequel to the untimely and un- l fortunate death of Hattie Louise W H. lace, who died in Newtown on August F, 1903, now appears in thr shape of a law suit in which her surviving husband, Thomas c. Wallace, of Warren, Pa., who is administrator on her estate, both in Pennsylvania and Connecticut, is plaintiff and the Peoples Savings bank of Bridgeport is the nominal defend ant. Mrs Ferris, Mrs Wallace's moth- er, is the real defendant. The suit is now pending in the Superior court for Fairfield county in this state. and was brought to the court on the first Tues day of November. The papers disclose that at the time of her death Mrs Wallace had on deposit in the Peoples savings bank the sum of $2, l43 6S, or thereabouts, which sum Dr Wallace as administrator on the estate of his wife made demand of the bank for, which however the bank refused to pay, claiming that Mrs Ferris, her mother, owned it by virtue of an order on the bank, in her favor for the amount as stated above, ex- ecuted on the 7th day of August, 1903, and signed by Ms Wallace. It is claimed by Dr Wallace that his wife had at the time of her death some slO,OO0 or $l2,0OO deposited in different banks in Connecticut tha,
 Mrs Ferris claims to have acquired title to in the same way. So that this case will undoubtedly be fought to finish, as upon the decision in this case will probably hang the question as to who is entitled to this and the money deposited in the other banks. The banks in all cases will probabl, compel Mrs Ferris to defend this and the other suits, as this is the general
 custom in such cases Beecher & Cantield appear for Dr Wallace, and Cantield & Judson for the bank.

MONUMENT TO JACKSON.
Handsome Shaft to Memory of Bish- op Coadjutor.

Eufaula, Sept. 1.-tspecial) )-The mon ument selected by the committee of cIer- ey of the diocese, Revs. J. T. Beard Stewart McQueen and !. O. Adams, ap- pointed by the clergymen's meeting held at the council in Birmingham. May 2f. 1902. was placed over Bishop Jackson's grave in the cemetery here this morning. Through the untiring efforts of Rev. Mir. Mcqueen the money needed to purchass the monument was secured from bishops. ministers and friends of the deceased.
 The monument is simple, yet very handsome. It rests on foundation of brick that is five feet deep and the de- sign is quite fitting and appropriate. The sub-slab is six feet long, three feet wide and six inches thick. The top piece iA Carrara marble five feet six inches long. two feet eight inches wide and ten inches thick. From the bottom up there is q space of three inches and then the head and foot and sides are beveled to the top on which rests large cross. At the foot in large gothic letters is the word Jack son, and at the head. Henry Melville Jackson. On the right side 'Consecrated Bishop Coadjutor of the diocese of Ala bama, Jan. 21st, 1891" On the left aide Born in Louisburg. Va, July 2s, 1si9~~ Died at Roseland, near Eufaulas May l4i 1900"
 The monument is unlike any that adorns the cemetery here and has been pronounced by all who have viewed it as an extremely handsome one. 1t occupies a beautiful site in one of the prettiese portions of the cemetery and is an appro- priate testimony to one who shared 60 largely in the love and esteem of not only the parishioners, but the citizens of the entire State.

To any who regard the whole legal
profession with suspicion l can only
answer: You are probably right in
saying that if lawyer had played
the vulture he ould not tell of it, yet
in truth these evil birds of prey are
not the majority in the law. If they
were more than small minority our
profession could not sustain the almost
boundless confidence it enjoys from the
whole business world. Remember, 4
lawyer is judged day by day, and by
his deeds he is justified or condemned
If significant number Of us were
traitors to our clients or if by our
hypocrisy we undermined the body of
professional ethics, the keen and I'M
deceived men of this generation would
not be placing III lawyers hands every
day their most mOmcntOus interests
and trusting implicitly in the honesty
of their advice. Suppose we do have
our little professional attitudes ana
poses and pompoSiticS; those are but
superficial manncriSms which may
make us awkward and tedious when
we, too would write Il popular articl"
but which have nothing under heaven
to do with our fathfulncSS to our eli
ents. On tnat faithfulneSs we meet
our judgment day six times week.

Beecher's Application.

One Saturday afternoon two Brook
lyn men We're on their way over Fulton
ferry to the City Of Churches. Mr..
Beecher happened to be on board. AS
the ferryboat felt its way into the slip
Mr.. Beecher seemed to be looking on
abstractedly. AS the boat struck the
piiing at the side, which creakingly
yielded, Mr.. Beecher's face lighted up.
One of the men, who knew Mr.. Beech
er's method of sermOnizing, remarked
to the other: "There will be something
about that In tomorrow'S sermon. Let
us go and see" The men We're in Ilym-
outh church the following morning as
suggested Sure enough, in the course
of the sermon Mr.. Beccher made some
such reference as this: There are in
every community men who perform
for society the service that yonder pill
ing does i'll 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
fully yield in noncSsentials. Those
buffer souls are valuable members of
society"

A WESLEY INCIDENT.
First Methodist Lay Preacher Fol-
lowed In n Year by Twenty.


The societies met on Sundays, but
never at the hour of church service.
and when neither Wesley nor any
other clergyman was present, spent
the hour in prayer and religious CON
versation or eXhortatiOn. From eX-
hcrtatio before the society to formal
preaching before it was only a step.
but to Wesley it seemed very long
step.
While in Bristol he learned. one day
in 1880 that one of his converts,
Thomas Maxtield. had beIl preaching
before the Foundry society. He hur-
ried up TO London to stop it. But his
mother. who since the Meath of her
husband had been living in Il room of
the Foundry building. met him with
protest, John, take care what you
do with reference to that young man,
for he is as surely called to preach as
you are" Admonished by this coun-
sci from one whose caution on all
churchly matters he knew to be quite
equal to his own, Wesley reluctantly
consented to hear MaXtield preach.
After listening, he exclaimed: 1T is
the Lords doing. Let him do as SEEM
eth to him good" Convinced in spite
of deep rooted Discrimination, he sane
toned the first Methodist lay preacher.
