Mrs. Chadwick and Mime. Devere Said
to Be One and the Same.

CLEVELAND. Ohio December 14-One
Of the men who will play an important
part in the Chadwick case when 1t comes
to trial in the United States district court
here Is Irwin Belford. the present clerk of
the United States circuit court at Cleve-
land and Toledo. Mr.. Bedford will be
called upon to identify Mrs. Chadwick as
Madame Devere, who was convicted of for
gerry in Toledo fifteen years ago. Joseph
Lamb, a clerk In one Of the express ofices
of Toledo, was arrested with the woman on
the same charge. but acquitted. The for
gerry cases were disposed of in 1880 and
1890. and were the most sensational and
notorious of any ever tried in Toledo.
Devere and Lamb by their manipula-
lions secured $16.50O from Toledo banks
They were jointly indicted. but had sepa-
rate trials. In the first trial of Madame
Devere, she was acquitted because Florida
G. Blythe, whom she personated, did not
appear to deny the genuineness Of the in
dorsement of her name on the notes, but
in the second trial she did appear and the
madame was convicted and sentenced to
nine and one-half years in the peniten-
tiary.
Lamb was tried twice by different prose-
cutting attorneys. and acquitted at both

PFoNAGE IN THE SOUTH.
Important Agreement in the United
States Supreme Court.

Argument was brought yesterday in the
Supreme Court of the United States in the
case of Samuel M. sClyatt against the Unit
ed States, in which the court Is called upon
to deal with the question Of peonage. ely
att is resilient Of Georgia, who. in 1902.
was convicted In the federal courts of that
state and sentenced to four years imprison-
ment at hard labor on the charge Of hay
ing held two negro men in peonage on ac-
count of debt, in violation Of section 1920
of the Revised Statutes.
Attorney VIM. G. Brantley made the first
presentation of the case He appeared for
Clyatt and claimed that the record failed
to establish the fact that the men were
held in unlawful servitude, the apprehen-
sion being in the nature of an arrest. SEN
ator Bacon also appears in the case for
Clyatt while Attorney General Moody VIII
represent the government.
The Attorney General has filed brief, In
which he saws, speaking of the Importance
of the case: Immediately upon the GER
LITIGATION of this case to the Supreme Court
several of the district judges in the fifth
circuit. in which numerous prosecutions for
violations of this statute were pending, re-
fused to try any of the cases, and post
poned the same to await the decision of the
court in this case. 1t is, therefore, quite
evident that the executive aim of the law,
so far at least as the enforcement Of this
salute is concerned, is practically paralyz-
ed Notwithstanding the fact that several
United States courts have held this law
to be constitutional, the government is
powerless to compel its enforcement or
observance even in the most typical and
fragrant cases.
1--WE think we may truthfully say that
upon the decision of this case hangs the
liberty of thousands of persons, mostly
coIored 1t is true, who are now being held
in a condition of involuntary servtude, in
many cases worse than slavery itself, by
the unla wful acts of individuals, not only
in violation of the thirteenth amendment
To the Constitution, but in violation Of the
law which we have here under considera-
ton

ington and Alexandria.
While the snow and cold weather has
greatly interrered with the building Of the
new railway line between this city and
Alexandria, and in Virginia below Alexan-
dria, the work is progressing sufficiently to
make it certain that the new tracks will
be ready for use early In the spring. The
building Of the abutments for the bridge
at Alexandria across Duke street extended
has been started. and the grading of the
tracks from the, old lines across Duke
street is also being pushed.
The foundations of the new union station
there are also well advanced and the abut-
ments for the bridge over the Lees
burg pike and over the tracks OF the Wash
ington. Alexandria and Mt Vernon cleo
trio railway are completed. The heavy &C.
ment arch over HOofs run at the west end
OF Alexandria Is also completed. as Is the
abutment for the bridge over the Brad
dock road. The high entertainments. which
which will make the new tracks run on
level grade to this city, from Alexandria to
Four-Mile run, are about four-tfths finish
ed. and in a short time will be ready for
the rails. The contractors have several
ciay-carrying trains at work building the
embankment across Four-Mile run and
making the cuts and fills from the run to
Gravelly creek.
At Gravelly creek a pile driver Is at work
driving piles for the trestle on which the
construction trains will run to make the
fill across that stream. Between Gravelly
creek and the new railway bridge no work
has yet been done. At the north end Of the
bridge, at the foot of 14th street south
west the work on the foundations for the
piers for the overhead tracks out of the
city is being pushed. One of the excava-
lions Is down to % feet, the depth desired,
and "A pile driving machine is at work driv-
ing heavy piles to form base for the
stone structure.
A second excavation for a pier is down
to depth of about 10 feet and will. 1t is
expected be ready for the piles about the
end of the week. The earth taken from
the excavations is being used to make fill
in the low lands along the river to the
west of the railway tracks. Weather per-

Amendments to Bankruptcy Law.

Amendments of vital character to the
bankruptcy law are proposed in bill In
troduced in the House today by Represen-
tative Bartlett of Georgia. 1t proposes
that the death or insanity of an alleged in
solvent shall not abate the proceedings If
the disability of the defendant In bank
ruptcy proceedings occurs after he has been
adjudged bankrupt. But, in the event OF
death the dover rights of the widow ana
children, as defined by the laws of the
states In which the proceedings are had
shall be respected. Another section pro-
vides that a proceeding in bankruptcy shall
be concluded within sixty days without jury
trial, except in such instances as are pro-
vided by the bankruptcy act. Still another
amendment provides that preference shall
not be deemed to have been given by a
creditor In the ordinary course OF business

FOREIGN
DAY OF ATONEMENT MARKED BY
FIERCE BRAWL IN STREETS.

London, Sept. 2O.-The Day of Atone
ment was marked in London by serious
rioting in the Jewish quarter of the East
End. Over 1000 Jews engaged in Il dis
turbance, and nearly 300 police had to be
called out before the disorder was
quelled.
The trouble arose over the action OF
the On-cOnfOrming members of a social
democratic Jewish club at Spitafields
situated in the heart of a district con-
tanning about 10000 Jewish Inhabitants
The Socialists openly paraded, in dis
regard of the fasting Injunction, and
made celebration with wines at the
clubhouse The orthodox Jews were an
gered and surrounded the clubhouse and
stoned it.
The Socialists threw bottles at the
crowd and soon the two or three narrow
streets in the vicinity become choked
by fighting mob. Ambulances were
called out and the doctors had many
minor cases to attend to.
Finally the police quelled the disturb
ance, cordoned off the streets in the dis
turbed area and made several arrests
Excited groups of orthodox Jews, how
ever, continued to parade the streets and
the houses Of several Socialist Jews were
stoned.
The magistrate. in sentencing the va
rious rioters brought into police court
said it was "deplorable that class of
persons who for centuries have been dis
tinguished by the fiercest persecution
should, when in the one free country in
the world, turn upon those who disa-
greed with them upon religious grounds
and stone and persecute even their CO.
religionists.

HUCKLEBERRY HAS
 SEVERAL FAMILIES
LEFT HOME IN PULLMAN LAST WEEK IN MYSTERIOUS MANNER, SAYING NOT TO LOOK FOR HIS BODY.

Cullman, June .-(special-George w. Huckleberry, who left his home here last week. leaving a note to his wife stating that 1t would be uuseless to look for his body as he had arranged its disposition so that 1t would never be found, seems to be a bigamist of the deepest dye. The newspaper account of his flight published from here at the time fell into the hands of his brother at Sullersburg, Ind, who has written to Mir. Allison, Huckleberry's s Cullman father-in-law to the effect that George has a wife and five children in Indiana, and that he left there four years ago almost in the same manner as he left here, without any apparent cause. He had been given up as dead.
 He claimed here to have had consider able property at Jefferson, Ind, but # develops that he had nothing. He claim ed to be 40 years of age and does not look over that, but his brother put his age at 53. He has a married son in In- diana "A years old. 1t seems that he did not go back to Indiana when he left here though he went in that direction on bling baggage passage at midnight.
 Huckleberry is five feet eight inches high, weighs 160 pounds, wears heavy bidth btdAh anu 6ytSf anu has large Roman nose. He is a black smith by trade and the middle finger on his left hand is crooked inward He has kind of stoppage or stutter in his speech. It is needless to say he Is badly wanted here and in Indiana. He left a wife and one child here.

with men without such preparation. Now and hereafter they must come also in com petition with men who have had college and university training-men who enter upon their professional careers with high lv disciplined minds and well developed bodies As 10 the outcome of the con test in which the participants are so un- evenly matched there can be no ques- ton. Even now the uneducated lawyer enters upon his work so handicapped as to render failure reasonably certain.
 The bar, crowded as It Is, offers an inc viting field of action to the well edu- cated man. So far as high judicial office is concerned, he already has a practical monopoly.
 Teaching-From one standpoint at least, teaching is the most inviting professional work in the south today None other of fers more numerous or greater opportuni- ties for service-service to fellow man. And after all the life of service is the only happy life. While the financial re- turns are small, very small, all others are great. great beyond computation.
 Of the total number of college profess sors in this country 80 per cent. hold the bachelors degree. % per cent have had q professional course, and 50 per cent have taken a graduate degree. Including university professors, these percentages 
 practically impossible for men without graduate degrees to secure such positions The college professor. in preparing foi his work, spends longer time beyond tht elementary school than any other pro fessional man. Yet the average age al which he attains to distinction is lower than that in any other profession. This tends to prove that the time spent in pre- pairing for ones life work is not time lost but time gained.
 The percentage of college-bred men en- gagged in the work of the higher insti- tutions of learning, which has itself grown into almost d separate profession, is greater than that of any other calling. The demand there is for the highly train ed specialist-the highly trained specialist of broad and liberal education and cul- ture. As colleges and universities grow in number and magnitude rare and ines timable opportunities present themselves to the educated man.
