Alarmed BY an Alarm Clock.

An amusing incident occurred yes
terday morning on the East side which
caused much merriment to the onlook-
ers. About o'clock one Of the male
residents in that section of the city
was aroused from his slumbers by the
pounding on a door in the vicinity. Be
ing half asleep and believing that
someone was at his own door, he arose
from the bed and going to the window
raised it. The night before this parti-
.cular male resident had placed an
alarm clock on the window sill In Or
der that he might arise at proper
hour. When he raised the window the
clock fell out and alighted on the side
walk at the feet of the early caller.
The force Of the fall broke the glass
and mechanism of the timepiece and
the main spring jumped out and curl
ed about the legs of the caller. AT the
same time the alarm rang violently as
the clock rolled about the sidewalk.
With a cry OF alarm at the alarm and
the sight Of the spring the caller DASH
ed wildly up the street and was seen
mo more.

held In July A majority Of the mem
bors would like TO go 10 Rehoboth. but
for several objections SO IS not likely
that the encampment win be held

II Is likely the encampment will be

not be secured. as the ground has been

rAE aAR Al RETAINED.

VATHEN John C. Winston, Of the Com
w mittee Of Seventy went out TO se-
cure the services Of lawyer the other
day. in an Philadelphia he could not find
one with respectable talents TO serve his
committee. II they were not retained by
the gas company they represented assoc
ciatcd interests, and there is suspicion
that in general they were afraid to en-
gage in a contest with interests that are
interviewer with ring interests as well as
with an the vast corporate influences OF
Philadelphia.
SO Mr. Winston went TO New York to
engage counsel. and may rely upon the
certainty Of having as his opponents, ac-
tive or passive. practically the whole bar
Of Philadelphia. This is a significant in-
stance showing the trend OF the bar at
the present time. II lawyer shows abil-
ity and industry he is certain to run
counter TO some corporate interest sooner
or later unless he is retained by the cor
poration. Consequently. eminent attorneys
become the legal advisers OF greedy
trusts, imagining that they are merely
selling their legal services, when IN time
they are compelled 20 acknowledge that
as individuals they can assert no grain of
independence.
il must be said that lawyers do not con-
hne the sale Of their talents TO their legal
services Every session OF legislative
body shows that The men who are en-
gagged as attorneys have little or no legal
work to do, but have influence with a
certain number Of members who have
votes
Under these circumstances they do not
sen their legal services. but sell their per
sonal inauence-a thing that in another
man would be deemed dlsreputable. Yet
lawyers md arguments to sustain them
in these practices.
Now in Philadelphia il transplres tha,
with a desperate ring threatening TO steal
millions from the city and to fasten on
the people more firmly the yoke Of tho
most Internal ring Of grafters this coun-
try has ever witnessed the Philadelphia
bar almost as a unit is with the machine
and against the people.
We are accustomed to constituting lber-
ally the rules goyerning the conduct Of
attorneys, but when 90 legislatures the,
are an arrayed with corporate or specia
interests. and when. as ln Philadelphia
the machine has them an we think some
body should point out the nature OF ih'
abuse.

There are three ways by which musk
rats are captured-by shooting, by trap
ping and by spearing. A few may be
secured at night by creeping as noise
lessly as possible along the creek edges
and watching for them to crawl up on
the bank TO feed. In this they are very
dainty Having secured a favorite
root, they approach cautiously the wa
ter's edge and dip it in and rub Off the
mud, dip it in again and again until it
is perfectly clean and suited to their
taste, when It is eaten with evident rel
ish, provided the sportsman is sufi-
olently interested In the process to
wait A boat, however, is usually used,
as the rats can be more easily and
quietly approached on the water. In
this case two persons occupy the same
boat the sportsman requiring a push
er. AS this sport can only be engaged
in at night. the sky must be compara-
lively clear IN order that the hunter
may have the advantage of the moon
light. or, better still, bright starlight.
A headlight, with reflector, is. however,
sometimes used on the bow of the boat,
and this arrangement is frequently
quite successful during the darker
nights to one sufficiently well acquaint
ed with the hunting grounds.-Balti-
