Advised to Keep Eye on America.

cablegram from London says: The
Morning Post in a strong editorial on the
shipping question says that German energy
is conspicuous, but that there is even a
greater need to keep watchful eye on the
shipping legislation of the United States.
The paper suggests the withdrawal of TIE
privilege from American-owned vessels of
freedom to the British coastwise trade as
means of recovering a freedom to negotiate
for reciprocal concessions. and thinks a re-
vival of some of the old navigation laws
would be easier now than IL the step be-
comes necessary in the face OF greatly in
creased rivalry.

A new Irish porter was put at work
on an English train. The head porter,
says Household Words, directed the
new man to initiate him closely, and
thereby learn his duties.
When the first train came into the

HELPING POLLY.

Her Brother Had a Rather Brutal but
Certainly EfEcacious Way.
As the door closed behind Polly, Tom
looked across at his mother
''How long has this been going on ?'
he asked. "She used to be the jolliest
little youngster in the world"
Polly's mother shook her head at
him, although'her eyes were troubled.

takes growing up rather hard Just
now her sense of proportion is little

large, but she'll find herself present

Il should hope so," Tom replied, fer
vently. Upon second thoughts he de-
cided to say nothing to his mother Of
the plan he had half resolved upon,
but wait his opportunity with Polly.

EVERY HOUR HAS ITS USES.

How Lawyer Uti1izes His Time from
Early Morn to Dewy Eve.
l know a prominent New York cor
poration lawyer who is out of bed at
o'clock in the morning and after
taking exercise is ready for breakfast
at $50. He is at his Office in Wall
street at o'clock. His secretary and
his stenographer await him. Dicta-
ton begins at once of the rough out
line Of a brief to be prepared. He
follows this with debating memoran-
da for his clerks, specifying certain
questions of law and Of fact which
he desifes looked into during the day.
At o'clock he reads and answers
important letters which his secretary
has sorted out for his attention. AT
$50 he is ready for consultations with
clients. From that time until 4 or 5
o'clock in the afternoon he is in con-
tinuous attendance either before
courts generally of appellate jurisdic-
tom, at meetings of boards Of direct
ors or in consultation.
At perhaps 4:3O o'clock the lawyer
is ready to receive reports from his
clerks. They are required to report
solely upon the point 1ntrusted to
them. Little or nothing is left to their
judgment or discretion. 1t is merely
desired to know what the law and the
cases are upon some particular point.
They are expected to report accurate
ly, concisely and quickly. This mis-
cellaneous work continues until per-
haps $50 o'clock, when the days Ia

SAVED CHlLD'S LIFE.
A Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's 8
Kidney Pills.

Sedgw ick. Ark, July 1.-THE case
of w. s. Tayler's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith
er makes the following statement:
''Last September, my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were
swollen to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good and two
or three people said his days were
short, even the doctors, two of the best
in the country told me he would not
get better. 1 stopped their medicine
and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney
Pills. 1 gave him three pills a day,
one morning. noon and night for eight
davs; at the end of the eighth day the
swelling was all gone, but to give the
medicine justice, 1 gave him eleven
more pills. used thirty-five pills in
all and he was entirely cured. l con-
slider your medicine saved my child's
life. When the thirty-fve pills were
given him, he could run, dance and
sing, whereas before he was an invalid
in his mothers arms from morning
until night"

Motion Made Today to Quash Second
Indictment.

Lambert G. Nordlinger was on trial yes
terday in Criminal Court No. l, accused OF
the larceny of two pianos each valued at

Piano Company of New York. Attorney
Levi David, representing the defendant,
made the point that a fatal variance eX-
listed between the indictment and the proof.
The latter showed that the pianos were
not such in the accepted sense of the word,
but were automatic electric affairs.
Justice Pritchard granted the motion, but
the defendant held IN custody, and
after the lapse of short time the grand
jury reported another indictment against
Nordlnger intended to cover the variance
mentioned.
Attorney David. in behalf of Nordinger,
today moved the court to quash the indict-
ment reported late yesterday afternoon, af-
ter the court had directed that verdict of
not guilty be rendered under the original
indictment. The motion in substance was

Constitutionality Of Maryland
Statute Questioned in Supreme Court.

The United States Supreme Court yester-
day heard arguments in the case of Will
liam II. Pope against the board of registers,

wolves the constitutionality of an act
passed by the Maryland legislature in 1902,
making 1t mandatory upon all persons

tention of becoming residents at least one
year before they are qualified to vote.

rejected on the ground that he did not pro-
duce the record of his intention to become
a resident. The case was appealed from

opened by w H Pope. the appellant. The
decision is awaited with interest by many
residents of the District who have summer
homes in Maryland
