japanese government. Continuing,
the correspondent says:
"The japanese are quite determined

secure certain Of their Corean inter

 As the result of a thorough investi- gation of the charges the authorities of the bar association debarred the young attorney some time ago, despit ethe earnest defense put up in his behalf by Judge Robert E. DeForest one of the most venerable and venerated lawyers in the state. Strong efforts were like wise made to prevent criminal prosecu- tion. but these were also unavailing and Carey will be brought to trial.
 According to the allegations of the complaint, Carey has rot only grossly mismanaged two or three estates of which he had charge, but has also been guilty Of passing worthless checks and in other ways defrauding a large num- Der os people. One old man is said to have been left destitute through his all legged Deculations
 Carey was also prominent in church circles. and it is said that church in Stamford. as well as some of it's lead- ing members, has been the unhappy victim Of his loose financial transac- tions.

Iropuois Club. Chicago.
My dear Sir:

My dear Sir:
 I am just in receipt of your invitation
 to attend the twenty-third annual ban-
 quet of the Iroquois club to be held on the 18th inst. I thank you for the in vitation and regret to say that I shall not be able to attend. I trust, however, that those present will take advantage of the occasion to present to the coun- try the importance of maintaining denl- ocratic principles as they were set forth in the platforms of 1896 and 1900, The merger decision shows how closely the Supreme court is divided and how easy it is for those who sympathize with corporate wealth to find plausible req sons for staying the hand of the gov- ernment when it attempts to rebuke those who exploit the people. Under our constitution the president appoints judges, and those who have watched
 the decisions in the Hayes and Tilden
 contest, in the income tax cases, in the
 trust cases, and in the cases involving
 the policy of the government in the Philippines cannot doubt that 1t is as
 important to have judges who sympa- thize with the people as to have judges learned in the law. In the present struggle between plutocracy and dem- ocracy the corporations are seeking to control the Supreme court, and if they can do that the house of representa- tives, the senate and the president are powerless to protect the people. I trust that those that are honored with an invitation to speak at your banquet will raise a note of warning 1 against the attempt now being made I by the money magnates to control the 1 democratic convention and to secure the nomination of 8 democratic candidate who will be obliged in advance to be- tray the hopes of the democratic mass
 es.

dining room and needing only the odor
of orange blossoms to make it seem the
real thing. says the St Louis Globe
Democrat. The little patch of real
dirt and stones and natural booking
trees with paper leaves and fruit IS
backed by painted stretch Of culti-
waited valley with d perspective reach
ing back for miles to the foothills Of
some snow covered mountains. The
whole thing is copy Of q well tended
valley in the Riverside district and
shows fields Of the various crops raised
there along with models Of the resi-
dences- the roads, bridges and irrigat-
ing fumes
AT one side is a rough mountain
slope with miners tents and shaeks.
and even real clothes line with flop
ping blue overaIls and red flannel
shirts Of miniature size. Trickling
down over rocky bed goes stream
of real water. and out through tun.
mel comes an irrigating ditch Of &C.
ment, with various locks, through
which the water Is turned into the lat
erals that carry it down between the
rows Of orange trees. These are
spaced as in the real orchards, and
not a spear Of grass appears in the
dirt between the rows, where the vel
low fruit shines among the green
leaves.
In the yards Of the neat little villas
are beds OF artificial flowers, and be
