young District Attorney Folk Of st. Louis
faced when he set out to crush the Missouri
crew of corruptionists.
Randolph B. MARITIME was the District
Attorney of New York then. and Randolph
B. MARITIME it was who discovered DE Lanoey
Nicoll The young lawyer, who almost
by accident found himself in the District
Attorneys Office as an assistant, had al
ready distinguished himself by series of
brilliant prosecutions before the cases OF
the boodlers came up He had already
made it plain that he had an intellect suf-
fciently alert, that his knowledge of the
law Was sound, and that he could give
points in the adroit management of a case
to many law practitioners of greater age
and longer experience.
But it was not until the Doodle cases
came up that he developed that capacity
for smashing through obstacles by sheer
force OF courage and hard work which re-
suited in such havoc among the Aldermanic
gang. Mr.. Nicol had practically fun charge
OF That memorable campaign against. cor
rupton In New York. On his shoulders
iell the full burden Of organizing and bring
ing to light that astonishing array Of evil
dence which for SO long kept the road to
sing Sing warm with the footsteps OF de-,
parting statesmen
SUDDEN POPULARITY.
New Workers who recall those days will
well remember the sudden burst Of popu-
Mrlty which came upon the young Assistant
District Attorney. De Lancey Nicoll kept
pretty level head in all the tumult OF
praise with which he found himself sur
rounded 1t came upon him before he
was half through with his boodler smash
ing work, and he was too busy with that,
100 deeply immersed in the big job he had
Oh his hands, to take much time off to con-
template the fact that the people of New
iork were assuring him in their gushing,
eneryescent way that he was great man.
ne was in the thick of the work of trundling
on Doodle takers and Doodle givers TO State
PRISON, and he kept right on at it through
all the cIatmor without once losing his grip
or his poise, Jaehne, McQuade and John
oNeil and Kerr, one after another were
convicted and sentenced and served their
sentences, most Of them.
Then came Jake" Sharp's turn, and he
TOO was convicted, appealed, got new
trial and died before his case came up.
That ended the Doodle carnpaign-one of the
%
history, and one that incidentally was
the making Of De Lancey Nicoll. He had
aireanv sccron as clear headed and
brilliant practitioner, but it was the Doodle
Alderman trials that put him in the lime
hsf' as the possessor of that greatest of all
quits OF the gods capacity for relentless,
persistent, tireless hard work. 1t is this
quality which his fellow committeeman in
the coming campaign are pretty apt to find
very conspicuousIy in evidence, combined
with liberal allowance of robust common
sense that is always valuable in the con-
duct Of a great political struggle.
There are some mon who seem to thrive
on an amount OF work that would make
other men look to be in the sixties when they
were in the forties, and the new vice-chair-
man OF the Democratic national committee

ner into the fifties and, 30 far as appear
ances go, might still pass as being in the
early forties. He was born in 1854 down on
Shelter Island. His family home, how
ever, was in Flushing and there and In New
York he has always lived. He went away
to st. Paul's School at Concord, N. H.,
when he was youngster, and later on he
went to Princeton, where he was gradu-
ated In the class OF "a. From Princeton
he entered Columbia College Law School
and he was for a time in the law Office Of the
late Clarkson N. Potter, brother Of Bishop
Potter, and afterward In the law office Of
Julian T. Davies. He was admitted to the
bar in 1879 and the next year opened an
Office for himself at the corner Of Nassau
and Liberty streets.
WAITING PERIOD.
paul Leicester Ford wrote story which
turned on the struggle a young lawyer has
in beginning practice in New York. said
Mr.. Nicoll the other day That story Is
true to life 1t seemed when read It that
Ford must have made special study Of
my particular case. 1t is heartbreaking

know what it Is. have been there.
In 1879 Mr.. Nicoll formed a partnership
with Walter D. Edmunds. and under the firm
name of Edmunds d Nicoll they opened an
office at 239 Broadway. Later on he entered
the firm Of Eaton, Lewis d Nicoll with
offices in the Equitable Building. That was in
1882 1t was while he was in that firm that
he first came in contact with Randolph
B. MARITIME. He tried a mechanics lien
case, in which he represented the mechanic
and MARITIME the owner. and the mechanic
won.
But the first big case the young laAyer
had-the one that won him his first allow
ance OF fame-was that Of Martin L. Ehrgott
against the City of New York. Ehrgott
was driving from New York to his home
in Yonkers one night and drove into an
open ditch at Kingsbridge and was pretty
badly hurt. Nicoll began suit for him
against the city for damages and got $50, 900,
the largest amount ever paid by the city
in case Of personal injury. The case
was carried through all the courts, but
Ehrgott's damages stood and In the end
were paid. 1t was during the long progress
Of this litigation that Nicoll began to emerge
from the young lawyer stage Of obscurity
But very soon after that, by curious COM
bination Of circumstances, he was out in
the open quickly and conspicuously.
HAPPY ACCIDENT.
1T was all a sort OF accident my get ting
into the District Attorneys Office said
Mr.. Nicoll in speaking OF this turning point
in his career. "Iknew MARITIME only slightly
when he was elected District Attorney in
1884. He had an Office in the Morse Build

streets, at that time. I went up there one
day to see him. A man had come to me
and asked il l wouldn't try to get him ap-

the matter over for few days and let
him know. After I had accepted his offer
and got to work, one case after another
came that everybody was talking about.
First, there was the Sergt. Crowley case.
I convicted Crowley Anybody could have
convicted him. But the case made big
stir. Recorder Smythe sentenced Crowley
to seventeen years imprisonment. There
was no end Of talk about 1t.
.Then came the Bnddensiek building
cases, and Buddensiek was convicted.
That was something new in New York
to convict a man on such charge as Bud
densiek was convicted on. Public feeling
was much stirred in that case. Then there

Goshen, Ind, Aug. 23.-The blanket

1t is a sawmill town, and four saloons
have subsisted upon the earnings of
the laborers. Shipshewana has sus-
tanned her reputation all these years,
but for the first time the town is to be
tightly closed. The fact that there is
a large Dunkard community immedi-
ately adjoining, and the fact that the
town has kept up it's riotous pace in
the face OF these simple honest people
has been regarded as remarkable The
Dunkards, however, have paid little
attention to the affairs of their neigh
bors. They have generally refused to
vote, but when the opportunities of
the blanket remonstrance were made
plain to them, they came up solidly
and signed their names, authorizing
one man to act for them on any petit
ton necessary to close the saloons.

ual, and the lumber town will soon pre-

Cleaning Public Reservoirs.
Chicago Tribune

The department of agriculture is
experimenting with a process of treat
ing public water supply with solu-
ton Of copper sulphates-one part in
100000 parts. The purpose Of this
is to destroy certain, forms Of alga, or
plant growth, which so frequently rem
ders water foul appearing and i'll
smelling, although the sanitary quail
ty of the water is not affected. These
growths flourish best in the purest wa
tiers, pressed through sand filters, and
for this reason large storage of filter
ed water is OF advisable unless the
reservoirs are covered AS to the eff
feet upon the consumers, a person
drinking three pints Of water day,
with l part to 100000 parts, would
in a year consume but seven to eight
grains Of sulphate. AS a matter Of
fact. however, the treatment would
not be continuous. Two or three appll-
cations a year would probably suffice
and besides this the sulphate would
enter into combination with the or
ganic life and would then be precipi-
tated. Certain of the algea are killed
by solutions of only 1 part in 3,0O0,-
900. but is possible that the others will
require much stronger solutions. In
this case, which remains to be deter
mined by test, the reservoir may be
shut off from us during treatment, or
there may be a supplementary process
to precipitate any copper sulphate re-
naming in solution.
