JURIsTS MEET.
Twentieth Annual Convention of the
American Bar Association.

Narragansett Pier, Aug. 23.-Prom-
inent jurists from all sections of the
United States are gathered here to at
tend the opening sessions today of the
American Bar association. Included
in the number were Justices White
and Brown of the supreme court and
many professors of the various law
schools connected with the great
American universities. The confer
ence will last throughout tomorrow
and Friday.
The president of the association
Henry st. George Tucker, of Lexing-
ton, Va, today delivered his address,
paying especial attention to the most
noteworthy conditions in statute law
on points of general interest made by
congress and in the various states dur
ing the past year.
President Tucker in his address said
that great progress has been shown
during the past year in the ratification
by the people of several states of pri-
mary election laws. Various laws
passed by the various states were re-
viewed. One view impressed upon the
islation is that, while it comes from
forty-five states and three territories,
organized under different constitu-
tions, a common purpose, common
hope and a common amb ition was dis
coverable in all for the advancement
ment of their development under the
stimulus of truly American ideas.
He spoke of the impeachment case
of Judge Charles Swayne. and said:
while the result of the trial was the
acquittal of the defendant, the
grounds upon which the acquittal was
obtained on some of the charges as
set forth in the brief of counsel and
in arguments before the senate, are
of interest in their bearing upon the
laws which control trials by impeach-
ment and the construction of section
4, article 2 of the constitution. 1t is
to be hoped that the acquittal of the
defendant is not to, be taken as an
endorsement by the senate of the
views of the counsel herein stated.
In closing President Tucker said:
my closing appeal to the members
who stand forth clothed in priestly
robes, as ministers at the altar of JUS
tice, is for the vindication of the
claim that the profession of the law
is the most ennobling and powerful
for good of all the secular professions.
With our loins girded and our lamps
burning. our association by keeping
alive the fires of professional purity
upon her affairs may, in working out
her future destiny, add to her proud
achievements IN the history of our be-
loved country still richer trophies in
the progress of our noble profession. -

Tropic Diseases.

section on tropic diseases in the
American Medical association has been
proposed, and the suggestion is of such
great importance that it deserves at
fention. Quite a number of American
physicians are now engaged IN prac-
flee in the tropic zone not to mention
the medical officers of the army, navy
and the public health and marine hos
pital service, and there is scarcely a
practitioner in the United States who
tents lately returned from the tropics
suffering from diseases or conditions
markedly different from the usual run
of his practice. On account of the
steadily increasing tropic interests of
the United States, it is not too radical
to state that considerable acquaint-
anee with these conditions is neces-
sary part of the equipment of every
physician. Papers on tropic diseases
are quite apt to increase IN NUMBER.

hill as the result of foolish bit of
bravado. The two men are boatmen
on the canal and are close friends.
Hemphill was walking along the tow
path near Jack Taylor's clubhouse,
while Davis was on the opposite side
of the canal, probably 125 or $50
yards away. Davis called to Hemp
hill and laughinglY said the gun was
worthless, and that Hemphili could
not bit him. Hemphill fired one shot
and missed Davis. This led to more
bantering on the part of Davis.
Hemphill then reloaded and fired
again. This second shot struck Da-
Wis, who said You have shot me.
Soon afterward he fell to the ground,
and it was seen that he was badly
hurt. His father, Frisby Davis, hap
pened to come along just then, and
he young man was taken home. DR..
Gardner. of sharpsburg, and DR..
Reichard, of Fairplay, were sent for
and they found that the injured man
was in pretty bad fix. The bullet
had struck him in the abdomen, per-
forated his intestines and lodged in
his back. Tuesday night he was
taken to hospital in Hagerstown,
where he is now being cared for.
