Conkling's Big Fee.

1t is said that one day when Roscoe
Conkling was beginning to attain some
measure Of success he dropped into the
Office of Charles O'Conor Of New
York, then one of the leaders of the
bar.
What's the trouble?" asked the lat
ter, as Conkling excitedly paced the
floor.
i've just been subjected to the worst
insult ! have ever received. This is
the first time a client ever objected
to my fee.
You know 1 defended Gibbons for
arson and put in some tremendous
work for him. He was convicted at
the trial. but we couldn't help it, and
took the case to the Superior Court
and we lost there, then on to the Su-
preme Court and that affirmed the
conviction and he has been given ten
years. Now, my fee only amounted to
$4,000 and the scoundrel actually had
the audacity to grumble about it, say
ing it's too high. What do you think
Of that for impudence?"
Well" said OConor slowly, "of
course, you did a lot Of work and $4,000
is not a big fee, but to be frank with
you, Mr. Conkling, my opinion. founded
on mature consideration. is that he
might have been convicted for less
money"

in the Eternal City.
II Is said King Victor Emmanuel has
come 10 the conclusion that TO style
his son and heir Prince Of Rome would
be something akin 10 tempting fate
For. ia the first place, such a dignity
would handicap the infant from the
very outset Of its existence with the an
rsgonfsm Of the Roman Catholic
church. since the title in itself would
constitute a perpetual reminder Of
what is regarded b. the Papacy as an
act of sacrilegiOus usurpatiOn and tend
10 interfere with those negotiations that
are now il progress with view TO a
modus TiTendi between church ana
state
. Then. too. the tile would evoke mem
ories Of the iu-fated King Of Rome, son
OF the first Napoleon and Of his Aus
trian consort, the Empress Marie
Louisa Some Of the features Of the
sad life Of the young Prince who bore
the title Of King Of Rome and who had
been invested herewith at his birth
are familiar to the American public
through Rcstand's popular play,
'LAiglOn' C'The Esglet"). Somehow
Sr another this title Of King Of Rome
has always been associated by people
with everything that is unlucky and i'll
fafed. and the title Of Prince Of Rome
resembles IL 100 closely not TO arouse
misgiyings as 10 the policy OF investing
herewith the son and heir Of King
Victor Emmanuel and Queen Helena.
The present King himself bore the
title of Prince. Of Naples until his ac-
Cession 10 the throne. But il was not a
popular title, just by reason Of its be-
ina in a measure usurDed, since II
served TO call attention to the fact that
The first King Victor Emmanuel had
taken advantage OF the revolutionary
movement Of Garibaldi against the
Bourbon King Of Naples TO annex the
lstters domini0ns 10 his own.
Prince Of Piedmont is assuredly the
most appropriate title for the hope of
sthe house Of Savoy. For Piedmont is,
SO to speak. the cradle OF its race. The
reigning house is above everything else
Piedmontese, and there is no doubt that
among the sturdy. stalwart, taciturn
and bluntly honest highlanoers Of Pied
mont there is a feeling Of more pro-
found loyalty and whOle-sOuled devO-
. tion 10 the reigning family than in any
other part Of Italy.

pcoket Money Men Carry

An investigation of how much pock-
ct money is carried by different people
as a safeguard against the unforeseen
emergencies of daily city life may be
counted on always to afford some sur
prise
In a group Of six men who compared
notes IN a downtown cafe the other
day the sum total of the emergency
fund YVES $26 5S, making an average of
81 43 for each man, but Of this amount
one man carried a $40 bill in his wallet
and another a $5. bill. A third had 81
tucked away and fourth kept So
cent piece In his watch pocket, which.
he explained, was always there, and
which was sufficient to send a tele-
gram or use a phone. These four car
ried the same sums mentioned as a
regular habit Il have cents loose in

may be 81 or 50 tomorrow, and the
next day some other sum. 1 never

The $40 man regarded him with a mix

man, who happened to be the wealth

One of the most -emarkable rail-

which runs from Callao to the gold
fields Of Cerro de Pasco. Commencing
in Callao, it ascends the narrow valley
Of the Rimac, rising nearly 5000 feet in
the first fifty-six miles. Thence 1t goes
through the intricate gorges OF the
Sierras till 1t tunnels the Andes at an
altitude of 1858 feet. the highest point

A $4,000 Bible.

Schuylerville, a town up State near
Glens Falls, claims the distinction of
having a resident who is the owner of
an old Dutch Bible that, as he has
recently learned, is a very valuable
book. He is Harold 3. Silvey. and a
few days ago a New York bibliophile
made him a generous offer for it, and
more recently he has declined offers
ranging from $4,000 to $4,000. The
last offer was made by a man, also
from New York, who went up there
especially TO buy the book. AS it is
a family heirloom, Mr.. Silvey says he
is in no hurry to sell 1t at present.
He also believes that the book may
become more valuable, as he says it
is one of the only two of its kind ever
published. The other is now owned
by a wealthy book lover in New York.
The book, which was printed in the
year 1876 at Anne, is ten inches by
twelve inches and is sixteen inches
thick. 1t weighs about fifteen pounds,
is mounted with two heavy brass
locks used as clasps and is in a fine
state of preservation.
Since he ascertained it's value Mr..
Silvey has placed the book In the safe
deposit vaults in the local bank, but
is very glad to show it to persons who
are interested in old books.-New
