a Christmas reception at
their home in st. Lawrence

The rooms were beautifully

wreaths and branches of
holly. The evening was
pleasantly passed by play

o'clock all sat down to a
bounteous supper. The ta-

NJ. Paul Gaulot's a Conspiracy
Under the Terror" which has just

the contrast between the death scenes
of Louis XVI and of Marie Antoinette,

horrible of all tie haunting horrors
of The Terror" IS the death struggle
on the scaffold Of Louis XVI
Here is Louis Blanc's description of
it in his Historic de la Revolution
Franchise. Descending from his
carriage Louis fixed his eyes upon the
soldiers who surrounded him, and with
a menacing voice cried 'SiIence' The

DANCE IN A CATHEDRAL.
Ceremony at Seville Both Impressive
and Diunified


and Dignfied.
The boys enter the space before
the high altar, their hats under their
arms aad their ivory castanets in their
hands. Having genuaected before the
altar they put on their hats and take
their places face to face each to his
allotted position. The four tallest
boys are named the 'puntas' or
heads. the four next the "segundos"
or seconds. and the two smallest boys
are the "trancas" OF bars All through
the various figures their movements
are infinitely graceful and dignifed.
The dance is something like the min
net and the children time their steps
to their own sweet voices, acCompa-
MED by the low tone Of the magnificent
organ, or the plaintiye wall of the
violin. 1t is quite impossible to de-
scribe the impression this strange
and unique ceremony makes on the
mind; the sound of those fresh young
voices ringing through the yaulted
cathedral. the click of the castanets,
the throng Of silent spectators and the
presence 81 the archbishop, canons and
clergy, all in their riche3. choir vest
ments, combine TO render the scene
imposing, nay, almost sacred. Even

He says again that every claim
was admitted by everybody to
be honest and just" Probably
not one of his clients, who, we
must admit, are not everybody,
but somebody, had not the slight
est opportunity to judge of the
business or honesty of the claim,
which might be true or not.
Editor Ryman allows Attorney
Ryman to contradict himself.
This is his language; read it care.
fully: The assumption of the
Enterprise that the claims were
barred by the statute of Limitation
is not founded in fact" Then
in the next S. ntence admits that
about half of it was barred, in the
following language:
More than half of the Kicker
claim was lawful and not barred"
=" "Or about 75% of the
other half of Ricker's claim was
not barred"
If the assum ption of the Enter
prise was not founded in fact,
pray tell US what the contention
of Attorney Ryman is founded
in? Assuming that what he says
here is true.
No act-no man s action is JUS
tilted by the fact that the loss to
each individual interested is
small. If some county officer or
other person should rob the
county treasury or misappropri-
ate $500 or 81, 10000 of the coun.
tvs money, while the loss to each
tax payer would be infnitesimal,
the crime would not be 1essened
by that fact. Certainly the stock
holders received little enough out
of the large fund Of $4,000. In
this connection we want to sug-
gest that the payment of a claim
that was barred by the statute of
limitation to RYMAN THE ATToR-
NEY FOR THE CLAIMANT, out of
which he received a large fee,
probably did not lessen the fee
OF RYMAN, ATTORNEY FOR THE
STOCKHOLDERS. Then it was much
easier when the same attorney
represented both sides of the
question.
1t is pertinent right here to
add" that the Enterprise is
certain that the Enterprise has
never said that Attorney Jay did
''ex-ctly the same thing" Ger
tainly Attorney jays clients had
as good right to kick as did the
clients of Attorney Ryman-AT
THE ACTS OF ATTORNEY RYMAN.
Every body who is interested in
this matter understands that
the use of Attorney jays name"
in this controversy is not be-
cause he is any better, or airy
worse" etc, it is for quite diff
ferent purpose; an obvious
reason. Is it possible that Attov-
ney Ryman can not justify his
acts, except by contending that a
man of acknowledged probity
knew what was being done?
