OBITUARY
MRS. JEREMIAH WALTER

MRS. j JEREMIAH WALTER
We take from the Monroe Demo-
crat of last week the following
obituary Of Mrs. Walter, who until
quite recent period was a resident
of Lehman in this county. For some
unexplained reason the notice appears
to have been unaccountably delayed.
Sarah Ellen, wife of jeremiah Wal
ter, died at her home at Tanners
Vile, Pocono township, Monroe
county, February %, 1904, aged 81
years. She was buried at Shafers
grave yard, in Hamilton, February
%, 1904. She was converted at that
church 20 years ago, and always lived
and died Christian mother. She
was daughter Of James and Mary
M. Alleger and was born in Lehman
township, Pike county, in 1850. Her
husband, nine children and three
brothers mourn her loss, namely:
Mrs. Eugene White, Bushkill; Frank
Walter, Stroudsburg; Elmer Walter,
Stroudsburg; Mrs. Arlington Hauk,
Stroudsburg; Mrs. Frederick Mes
sorli, Bushkill; Misses Grace, Carrie
and Jennie Walter, Tannersville;
her brothers; Thomas Alleger,
Washington, d. c.; Joseph Alleger,
Bushkill; Charles AIleger Luzerne.
She was a loving, mother and q
kind friend; but now this loving one
has gone to a better home where
there will be no more sickness, pain,
sorrow nor death.
Revs. Hummer and Ellis, both of
Tannersville, conducted the funeral
services. The text was found st.
Mark l4th chapter, verse.

Work is Progressing Rapidly on
the New structure-New York
Pier Already completed
Work on the new Barret bridge is
being pushed as rapidly as possible
during this spring weather.
The New York pier was finished
Tuesday noon.
The work Of Increasing the height
of the middle pier was commenced
and will probably be finished this
week.
At the opening Of next week, work
ON the Pennsylvania pier will be
commenced; also the iron work over
the New York channel. 1t will not
take long to complete this work and
by The time the Pennsylvania pier is
finished, the "iron men" will he
ready TO put up the Pennsylvania
span Of the bridge.
Ifthe present rate Of speed is kept
up, it would be a fair proposition to
say the bridge will be In use within
a few weeks.
The approaches to the bridge will
be extended so as to have grade
beginning at about the farther ends
Of the former anchorages, and the
work will be completed, the waste
material and dirt cleaned up and
made ship shape, by about July first.

Why He Raised Corn

A farmer in the west, who planted
every year a few more acres Of corn,
was asked by a neighbor why ne
worked so hard to increase the crop.
His reply was: 1 raise more corn, to
fat more hogs, to buy more land, to
raise more corn, to fat more hogs, to
buy more land. Something of this
same endless repitition seems to per-
wade the minds Of those who from
year to year have charge Of our
streets. Nearly every year they
spread more gravel on more hard
road to make more dirt and mud to
hire more men to sprinkle and scrape
the streets. This appears to be the
almost unvarying round with the
result that the condition Of our high
ways is never materially improved.
No permanent work is done lest some
energetic laborers might be out Of
the job Of spending time on the
streets, and consuming, without last
Ing benefit, the money annually ex-
pended.

ASSIGNMENT OF COUNSEL
Is the Public Entitled to the serv-
ices Of Attorney without
Rendering Compensation


Rendering Compensation
The April number of Law Note
contains an excellent article ON the
above topic. II says 'eThere are today
many existing fctlons Of law which
the spark Of public opinion has moi
reduced to exploded theories. And
not one among them is more deserving
of utter annihilation than the idea that
there rests upon an attorney, as such,
the duty of defending without pay,
upon assignment by the court, zone
who has the double misfortune to be
stricken by poverty and accused Of
crime" The popular notion prevail.
that there is a duty which the lawyer
owes to his profession. 1t may be
almost heretical to deny that any such
duty exists but we venture to assert
that it neither exists nor is founded
upon any basis of law or common
sense. It is not meant to be implied
that there might not be occasions
when an attorneys refusal to volunteer
his services or to accept an assignment
at the hands of the court would amount
to inhumanity. But we do most
earnestly contend that the practice OF
commanding the gratuitous services OF
the legal practitioner is vitality wrong. 4"
This practice exists in this state and IL
not infrequently happens thata lawyer
is assigned to defend a man charged
with murder, whose trial may occupy
several days and require for a proper
defense his utmost care, thought and
study.
The attorney has professional pride
and as he becomes more conversant
with the facts his interest deepens and
he enters on the defense with all his
heart. He is conscientious in the
matter and though he knows that his
labor will be without fee or reward or
gain or the hope thereof he gives his
best skill and knowledge to the conduct
of the case. He may too have public
opinion arrayed against his unfortunate
client and the popular mind condemn
ing his best efforts. We speak from
experience, having heard Kisses when
point was made i'm favor of the
accused. The article cites arguments
and reasons to show why lawyers
legal knowledge, his capital stock,
gained by years Of stuuy and applica-
tion, should no more be confscated
without pay than the goods and
chattels or lands and tenements of any
other person which may be desired for
public use or by corporation for its
convenience.
There is no reason why this public
burden should rest ON lawyers alone or
why their professional services should
be at the mercy Of the public without
remuneration than the goods of the
merchant, the crops Of the farmer OF
the wares Of the mechanic. Lawyers
are entitled to the same rewards for
their labor, skill and care as are men
in any profession and there is no more
reason why he should defend an i'm
pecunious individual charged with
crime than there is why merchant
should furnish him with goods or a
dentist Or doctor with his services,
given or rendered at the request Of a
court. The legislature should remedy
this matter by an act authorizing the
court to allow and the county to pay a
fair and reasonable fee to an attorney
when he is assigned to defend a person
without means charged with crime.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER

The week has been a very interest
ing one in Washington, politically,
socially and sorTowfully. Many inter
esting speeches have been made in
both houses Of Congress, concerning
important questions. Senators and
Representatives who talk largely for
POLITICAL effect have had ample
opportunity for doing so by presenting
amendments to pending bills, denounc.
ing the bills, and then voting for them
with astonishing unanimity. This is
very satisfactory to the republicans,
who have but to contain themselves
with patience, remain good natured
and see the opposition discretely come
to terms. Just now a favorite form OF
democratic diversion is to keel haul
Grover Cleveland for all the misfor-
tunes which have come to the demo
cratic party He is denounced as the
noblest republican of them all. There
must be a scapegoat, and the reviled
ex-President is as good as any. Per
haps all this irritation is but natural,
since, as Congressman Hamilton OF
Michigan says: 'Protection makes
good times" And the happy and
prosperous people are turning, almost
to a man, to President Roosevelt as
their leader for four more years. All
the political news from the states
which comes to the White House is
reassuring and the President can well
consider himself relieved of anxiety
regarding his nomination and election.
This gives him and his advisers time
for the consideration Of important and
pressing questions.

1t is said that the oldest tree in the
world Is bO tree planted at Adnu-
radhapura, CeylOn, which was plant
ed close to a Buddhist shrine in 246
b. c., and is therefore 2,l4s years
old. Legend has 1t that this tree
sprang from a branch which severed
itself By miraculous power from the
sacred tree under which Gautama be-
came Buddha, the enlighted one.

The democrats in Congress are some

President Roosevelt and ex-President

The warm endorsements of the Presi-
dent by the New York convention
makes a few more democratic prophe-

The tone Mr.. Cleveland's endorse
ment Of Judge Parker indicates that
there are others ia the mind Of the
Princeton sage.

General KurOpatkin has arrived In

While the war experts agree that
"Russia aims at delay" it is suggested
that she may be more expert in this
method of Workmanship than in GER
tain Others.
Virginia has ignored the advice Of
one Bryan and the Parker boom
appears to be sweeping the state. In
Virginia the Hearst boom has erang
on the end OF it.
When Mr.. Bryan finishes framing
his Democratic platform and sends it
on to the St. Louis convention it is a
question whether it win be turned to
the wall or draped in Grape.
The indianapolis Telegram an
nouneing that Hearst had given up
the fight looks as though the other
fellows were getting scared and were
adopting the Hearst methods.

age and do not contain much Of local

Jersey peopIeappear in their columns.
Among the advertisers one item
which now seems quaint reads as
follows; "Cut nails. The Pennsyl.

contrived for rolling the plates So
that the grain Of the metal runs

1t is estimated that the recent
decision of the Supreme Court that
books transmitted through the mails
must pay postage as third class matter
will save the government $1,000, 600

that one Of the jurymen got drunk and

The explosion on the Missouri with
the appalling resulting loss of life,
caused great sorrow and pelplexity
among the officials Of the government.
1t was very unfortunate in all Of it,
aspects, especially so for Capt. Cowles
who has just been severely criticised
for the collision Of his ship with the
Illinois. While the navy department
was profoundly impressed with the
news Of the Russian war ship horror,
and cOngratulating itself that such
terrible accidents never occur i'm the
American navy, there came upon the
heels Of this news the account of the
Missouri explosion. The effect was
stunning. The President at once
started a subscription ''to be used for
the dependent kinsfollx of the enlisted
men" who perished. The exact cause
of the disaster may never be known.
1t is thought the affair was an un-
avoidable accident. There are those
who suggest that the use Of smokeless
powder may have had something to
do with the explosion. Its nature is
not yet very well understood.
