How Benjamin Charged.

Attorney General W. A. Anderson Of
Virginia was in Washington the other
day and met. Judge Goode, who was
a member of the Confederate Congress
They became reminiscent, says the
Washington Post. The name of Judah
p. Benjamin, once United States sena-
tor from Louisiana and afterward the
Confederate Secretary of War, was
mentioned. Mr.. Anderson remarked how
he had heard Benjamin make, after
the Civil War; a remarkable legal ar
gument before the English House OF
Lords. He stood at the head of the
English bar" said Mr.. Anderson. "His
success in England was little short OF
wonderful"
Il used to have little business with
Mr. Benjamin while he was Secretary
of War" replied Judge Goode "One
day l had entered his office, when he
surprised me with a question.
You are lawyer, Goode?' said he
I have humble pretentions to that
profession / replied. ~
" What do you consider a large fee
up in your region?
p" Well, up in the mountains around
Bedford, where 1 come from, the law
yer who gets $500 for handling a law
case is reckoned right lucky
Benjamin looked at me placldly, and
then added: Now, my practice has
been this: If client comes to my
office l charge him good retainer, II
he comes around to bother me, charge
him a refresher. If he comes to have
some work done on the case, ! charge
him reminder, and when the case is
concluded, charge him a finisher.'"
This rather astounded the young law
yer from Bedford, but the two gray OLD
Virginians agreed that the incident was
entirely characteristic of the man they
were discussing.

church at Wayne is a small one and
of course the great. unlimited crowd
that assembled couldn't get into II,
but the thousands that were present
were determined to see the bridal par

stated that they practically mobbed
the bride. The women crowded around
her as she left her carriage, felt of
her gown and commented upon her APP
pearance. II was quite a little while
before she could get away from them
and get into the church.
Miss Whelan is described as the most
beautiful woman in Philadelphia, and
Mr.. Goelet is one OF the richest men
in New York. Perhaps II was only at

BIG ESTATES.

Great fortunes are so common now
a-days that one of 100000 or even
$40. 600, 900. doesn't excite much COM
ment. Levi c. Letter, of Washington,
D. c., who died few days ago, and
whose will was opened on Tuesday,
left a fortune estimated to be between
s25,O0O,0OO and $3O,00O000. There has
appeared in the public prints scarcely
a word of comment respecting the size
of his estate. The fact, however, that
one of his daughters married Lord
Curzon, the Viceroy of India, has been
brought to the attention of the public
since his death with more persistency
than the fact that he accumulated the
large fortune he left by his own efforts
in a comparatively few years. This
would seem to indicate that rank is re-
guarded as of more Importance than
worth or wealth.
Mr.. Letter was one of the success
greater part of his wealth came from
investments in real estate in that city.
He was at one time a partner of Mar
shall Field, the great merchant of
Chicago, who is now reputed to be
worth 800, 100000, and who is men
toned in connection with the nomina-
ton for Vice President on the Demo-
cratic ticket.
1t often happens that mans for
tune shrinks greatly between the time
of his death and the filing of the in
ventory of his possessions, but it is
probable that there will be no such
shrinkage in the fortune of Mr.. Letter.
He was very solid citizen, and there
is no doubt that the estimate of his
wealth has a very solid foundation.
1t hasn't been so very long since his
son, according to report, lost about &c.
600, 900 in an effort to corner the wheat
market. He paid the entire loss, and,
that too; without making any stir about
the matter in the newspapers. Doubt
less there are curious ones who are
waiting to see whether the son will
have charged against him in the di-
vision of the property the amount that
he lost in the wheat pit.

A Cunning Cahby.

From the railway station of certain
country town emerged a sharp-eyed
young man, evidently a stranger to the
place, for he glanced curiously around
him as he passed from the courtyard
into the main street, says an English
paper.
Fly, sir?" was the eager question OF
several drivers of those rural vehicles
which were ranged along the curb. The
young man shook his head impatiently
and was about to pass on when his al
tention was arrested by the CLEAN Of
something in the corner of the cushion
ed seat of one of the cabs. A second
glance showed him that it was the
clasp of rusty looking old purse evil
IDENTIFY left by some recent occupant.
Fixing the driver with his eye, he in
quired the fare to street at the other
end of the town.
"'Arf a crown, SIR
Right, drive ahead" was the reply
and the young man jumped in, glancine
furtiVely around as he did so.
At the end of the journey-an OK
tremely short one-he descended with
a disguised expression and handing tho
driver his fare walked rapidly away.
The fiyman gazed after him with grin
and then turning in his seat, reached
down and picked up the purse, which
still lay on the cushion, although not
in the place it had occupied at first. AS
he turned it admiringly over in his fin
gers, showing that it was not only
empty but almost falling to pieces with
age, he murmured:
That's about the tenth fare this old
purse has brought me since picked it
up,"

FACTS ABOUT woOD TURPENT1NE

| 1t is evident from the interview
which we published yesterday with Mr.
! j. A. G. Carson, vice president of the
! J. p. Williams Company that the ex-
! periments in the direction of extract
| ing spirits of turpentine from pine
wood have not yet reached a stage
where the product gives satisfaction
| from commercial point of view. The
interview is an interesting and instruc-
! tive one and should be read by all who
are interested in the naval stores in
! dustry
The impression prevails very gener-
| ally that the experiments are so sat
isfactory that there is no doubt that a
new industry-an industry that prom
| ises to bring millions of dollars to this
| section of the South--has been estab-
| lished upon a firm basis, and that it
| is already yielding a large revenue
to those who have invested money in
it, Mr.. Carson's interview shows that
such is not the case. He has made a
very careful study of the experiments,
and is in a position to say, with con-
siderable authority what they prom
ise
But while success has not yet been
achieved, there is every indication that
it will be in the very near future, at
least that is the impression gained
from statements made by Mr.. Carson.
steady progress has been made to-
wards a product that will answer as
substitute for genuine spirits of tur-
pentine. The product now obtained by
one process-Athe steam process-an-
swers very we'll for certain purposes,
and there is another process by which
a product is obtained that, Mr.. Car
son thinks may be even better.
Mr. Carson seems satisfied that the
destructive process for obtaining wood
spirits is not, and will not be, a sue
cess for reasons which he gives, and
which seem to be satisfactory. But
there doesn't seem to be much reason
to doubt that within the next
year or two such improvements will
be made in getting the spirits from
wood that the output of the product
will be very large and will play an
important part in the worlds COM
merce
We thought that such would likely
be the case when, several days ago, we
urged upon the merchants of this city
the necessity for looking into the new
industry and taking steps towards
making this the great market for it.
IT seems, from what Mr.. Carson says,
that some of our commission mer-
chants are alive to the importance of
the industry; that they are watching
it., and will be prepared for handling
1t just as soon as the quality of it is
such as the trade demands, and it is
produced in such quantities as require
a considerable amount of capital for
marketing it to the best advantage.

The Savannah morning news., 1904-06-17

An Iowa lawyer tells the following
story of his first months of practice,
says the Green Bay. He went to a
small country, town and secured an Of
fee room, in front of which was placed
the usual sign. Then he sat down and
waited for his clients to appear, all
the while feeling very much the digni-
ty of his position. The day passed and
no one called, and another, and anoth-
err until weeks went by, and still there
had been no client.
One morning, however, he was at the
depot to attend upon the arrival of the
daily accommodation train, quite an i'm
portant function of the town, when a
handsome, we'll dressed young lady APP
preached and inquired. us this Mr..
Smith," At once the feeling OF i'm
portance returned, and in his blandest
tone he replied: "It is, madam. What
can 1 do for your"
"Can you tell me how much it will
cost to send a sow and pigs down to the
next Station?"
