THE MODERN LAWYER.
The Life of Some New York Corporation
Attorneys Is Strenuous.

The Life of Some New York Corporation
Attorneys Is strenuous.
I know, says writer in the World S
Work, prominent New York co2po-
ration 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 8
O'Clock. His secretary and his stenog-
rapher await him. Dictation begins
at once of the rough outline of brief
to be prepared. He follows this with
debating memoranda for his clerks,
specifying certain questions of law and
of fact which he desires looked into
during the day.
At 8 o'clock he reads and answers i'm
portant letters which his secretary has
sorted out for his attention. At $50
he is ready for consultations with eli
ents. From that time until or
o'clock in the afternoon he is in con-
tinuous attendance, either before
courts generally Of the appellate juris-
diction), at meetings of boards of di-
rectors, 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 on the point intrusted to them.
Little or nothing is left to their judy
ment or discretion. It is merely de-
sired to know what the law and the
cases are upon, some particular point.
They are expected to report accurately,
concisely and quickly. This miscel-
laneous work continues until perhaps
$50 o'clock, when the days labor
downtown is at an end.
Some lawyers even make use Of the
time consumed in going home. Dur
ing the summer months William Nell
son Cromwell spends his nights on the
New Jersey coast. He goes down by
boat each afternoon, but large state
room on that vessel is equipped with
desk and typewriter and stenographer,
that full use may be made Of the pre-
cious hour devoted to the trip. During
the winter he will probably be ready
for dinner at 73O O'Clock. An Office
boy has gone ahead Of him, carrying a
green bag full Of books and papers
which are to be considered during the
evening.

!. COLLECTING BILLS.
A Matter for Business Mems Associa-
 tion to Consider.

To the Editor of the Democrat:
 Tn order to show how a mans busi- ness can be destroyed quickly by a practice which is said to be common i'll Waterbury, the writer will mention one case which came under his obser- yation few days ago. A lawyer re- ceiyed a bill to collect from one of our we'll known merchants. It was the first dealings the business man had with a new wholesale house. What did the lawyer do when he received the bill? Did he notify the merchant to please call at his officer" No. He immedi- ately sent for constable who took the bill and keeper together with a writ of attachment. and went delib- erately to the merchants place of business and demanded the payment of the bill. It was the first notifica- tion the merchant had of the collec- tion to be made in that way. He was taken by surprise, but to avoid q scene he paid the bill together with over 20 per cent which the constable called costs Now the merchant no longer wonders why there are not more failures in Waterbury. Is not this food for thought for our Water bury Business Mems association? How many business houses are ruined such a practice? This can be verified by anyone interested.

cONCORDIAS RETURN.
Won Two Prizes at Meeting of State
 SaenGerbund.

1 The members of the Concordia Sing. ling society, accompanied by the Ameri-
 can band and many friends, returned
 triumphant last night from New Brit, l ain, where they had been attending the
 two days session of the state saenger-
 bund, and were met at the Highland 1 division station by a large crowd of l people, who cheered them lustily. The l singers returned triumphant. True
 they did not capture first prize, but
 they came close to it and returned
 home with two handsome prizes, a
 drinking horn, second prize in the sing l ing contest, first class, the other, sil- yer ice pitcher, second prize for the best appearing society in the parade. l As soon as the members arrived at the station they formed in line and headed l by the American band, paraded through the different streets in the center of

 The Hartford Saengerbund won first prize in the first class singing contest
 and also first prize for the best ap- l bearing society in the parade yester- I day morning, in which 1,500 men took
 part Music was furnished by seven 1 bands and drum corps. Many thought l that the Concordias of this city, headed 1 by the American band, should have re
 ceived first prize for the best appear ling society The Hartford Courant Isays: s'The Concordias of Waterbury received applause all along the line of
 march. From a center pole, carried by
 one of their members, red, white and ! blue streamers ran out, the ends of l which were held by the other members
 of the society. The effect was strik- ing.' The Hartford society had para sols of red, white and blue arranged in
 rows of two deep.
 The list of prize winners follows: To the out of town societies making the 1 best appearance in the parade, first prize, Hartford Saengerbund, silver ice pitcher; second, Concordia of Water
 bury. silver ice pitcher; third, Concor dia of Seymour a stein; to the local so- cieties making the best appearance, l first, Teutonia Maennerchor. loving 1 cup; second, Schwaber Verein, beer stein; i'll the singing contest at the
