Webster and the Brandy.

Mr. Webstsr's s. iondness for brandy
gave one of his important clients q
very bad twenty four hours. He was
called to Philadelphia to defend the
Goodyear rubber patents. and the head
cf the firm met him at tie station.
When they had entered the carriage
he at once turned to Mr. Webster and
referred to one feature of the evidence
to be presented in the trial on the
following day.
"I speak of it.. Mr.. Webster" he
said, ''as it has peculiarly important
bearing on the case, and thought
you might not have understood its
significance.
Mr.. Webster, who was looking
dreamily out of the carriage window,
was recalled to consciousness OF his
clients presence. He yawned, and,
settling back against the cushions,
remarked:
GIVE always hoped Ikmight some
day come to Philadelphia, because
I've been told that there is no place
in the United States where they. serve
finer brandy. When came away from
Boston I said to some Of my friends,
Boys, I'm going to find out about
that Philadelphia brandy and if | find
that it really is the best I shall have
made a useful trip. -
Several times Mr.. Goodyear tried to
draw his distinguished attorneys at
tention to the particular point at
issue, but he never seemed to take the
slightest interest in it. The brandy
of Philadelphia was apparently the
only topic that interested him, and
always REQUIRED to it.
Mr.. Goodyear left him somewhat
brusquely at his hotel. When he re-
turned to his Office his story was any
thing but inspiriting. "We've got a
man who is supposed to be the great
est lawyer in the United States, and
the only subject in which be takes
any interest is Philadelphia brandy ~
That night, though, Mr.. Webster
worked in his room until after 2
O'Clock occasionally walking the floor
and marshaling his case into battle
array. His pleaithe next day was one
of the most impressive utterances in
it's power and logic, and the case, in
volving hundreds Of thousands, was
given to the Goodyears.

Mob Law Effects IN Engiand-sir
Hiram Maxims's Views.

Sixty years ago England, !" said Sir
Hiram Maxim recently, had every
thing her own way. The greatest COM
p1ercial and the greatest manufactur-
ing country IN the world, the superl-
GRITTY of English work at that time
was appreciated every yw1ere. England
has lost her relative position IN the
world not altogether on account OF IN
effective laws, but rather on account OF
the laxity in their execution. Sup
posing, for example, that the nation
encouraged manufacturers to the same
extent that they have encourage trade
unionisn.
Suppose that there were stringent
laws rigidly enforced that a British
subject investing his money and build
ing q factory could be protected from
mob violence, that every English
manufacturer was free to enter the
market and purchase labor at Its mar
ket rates, and that in case OF dissatls-
faction and strike he was still free
to enter the labor marked and employ
snch men as be saw fit without any
interference by strikers. Suppose.
! too, that no burdens or restrictions
had been put on manuacturlng That
were not applied to the cultivation OF
the land.
ssThen We should have had three
factories in England for every one
that ne now have, and perhaps four
times as much would be paid for labor
throughout the United Kingdom.
Under these conditions Germany and
the United States would not have had
walkoyer; England would have Still
been ahead, and this could have con-
tinued until We had population OF
sixty millions. Every thing, includ.
ing capital. climate, skill, supply OF
labor, geographical position. and
means Of transportation, was extreme
ly favorable, and the one factor which
defeated them all has been and IS the
criminal laxity in the execution OF
the laws. The laws as a whole are
sound, but We have allowed their place
fo be usurped by mob Law.
ST assert this in most positive
manner, and there is not man IN
England today, be he labor agitator or
other, who can deny that during the
last twenty years mob law has been
thedeternining factor in nearly all
labor disputes: We have resorted to
mob law and our position as manu-
featuring country is suffering IN con-
seuuenee.'

The Moral Value of the Telephone.

A recent article in a New York pa
per described the use of telephones in
a church in Orange. The transmitter
was placed in tue pulpit directly in
line with the clergyInan's voice, lines
from this were carried to the back of
the church so that she occupants of
the pews in the farthermost distance
by holding a receiver to their ear can
hear distinctly every word of the SER
vice. This is only a germ of an idea
that will probably be extensively
elaborated. Already in numerous
cases has telephone connection been
established between the church aud
the bedside of invaIds living at a
distance of several miles. In Pater-
son a woman too i'll to leave her bed
listens every Sunday TO the service at
her church, which comes to her by
