parently without passion or feeling,

At a certain point in the symphony
the orchestra was playing in perfect
time and tune, but with a certain me-
chanical effect which no one had no

raped the music stand before him.
The orchestra stopped. Then with
bis hand he initiated the action Of an
organ grinder.
With only a word to indicate the
bar at which the orchestra was to take
up the music, he struck the rack be-
fore him for attention, and with a
movement Of his baton gave the signal.
The orchestra repeated the passage

AEinteresting damage suit has been
instituted in the state circuit court for
Charles Mix county, as the outgrowth
OF the recent arrest of Henry Dolan. a
young man, on the charge of grand
larceny, preferred by w. H. Gunsel, a
Lake Andes business man. Dolan had
been in Gunsels employ, and was
charged by his employer with having
stolen a quantity of jewelry and silver.
ware. At the time this charge was
made the young man held Judgment
against his employer for salary alleged
to be due. In his complaint Dolan asks
that he be awarded damages in the sum
of 81, 100 against Gunsel. He alleges
that the jewelry aud silverware alleged
to have been stolen was placed by Gun
sci himself in the place where it was
found, the object of Gunsel being to
cast suspicion on Dolan and have him
arrested, so as to avoid paying the
amount of the Judgment held by Dolan.

THE MONEY CRAZE.

Wrong Standard by Which the World
In Prone to Measure Men.
The money craze, or tendency to
commemorative the ideal. is found In all
walks Of life. Never before were SO
many clergymen. especially young
clefgymen, leaving the pulpit to go In
to business. The great commercial
rrizes are 80 tempting that their own
pitiful salaries look contemplate In
comparison. There are clergymen In
the American pulpit preaching for a
few hundred dollars year who know
perfectly well, and everybody else
knows, too, that they could make many
times as much money in business ca
reers. Many of them do not see why
they should not become rich and pow
erful. They do not understand why
using this money making capacity IL
not as legitimate for them as for 9TH
ers. In other words, there is a power
full temptation today for clergyman
to turn his creative faculties into mon
ey making channels.
Many of our lawyers are looking for
big fees rather than for great legal
acumen or high standing at the bar.
They know that lawyers are envied
today not so much as members of a
great and learned profession, uphold
ers of the majesty and justice OF the
law, as because many Of them make
a great deal of money from their prac-
ttce. They know, too, that they are
ranked by fellow lawyers largely in
proportion to their ability to get big
fees. 1t is well known that some of
the men who get enormous fees and
become millionaires are not great law
yers at all and have nothing like the
legal ability of others who are not
paid a quarter of their fees. What is

question by which to measure law

people.

POLICE HAVE CLEWS.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-Detec-
by the police of San Francisco to go
to Honolulu on the Stanford mystery,
gave this interview last night, which
stronger than any other thing, points
the direction which the trail of the po-
lice now takes. He said:
We have as yet arrested no one, but
the department has secured important
clews. Until the analysis of Mrs. Stan
ford's stomach shows that she actually
died of poison. it would be absurd to
take a suspect into custody. Every per-
son having knowledge of the case is un-
der scrutiny, however, and we VIII
make no slips. But we are convinced
that crime has been done. L am going
to Honolulu in the morning because of
that conviction.
With me 1 shall have all of the evil
dence so far deducted in the case Prob
ably Captain Callundan win join me in
the trip. 1 am going to bring Miss
Bertha Berner, secretary of Mrs. STAN
ford. back to San Francisco. She will
come with me on the first steamer that
returns-the steamer that carries Mrs.
Stanford's body. l don't say that L
suspect her. l will, however. go to
her with the knowledge L now have
and question her. She should not OBJ
ject, for all this is done to clear up
the mystery of Mrs. Stanford's death.
I shall see her at once upon my ar
rival on the island.
All of the ends in Honolulu we ex-
pect to gather there during the five
days | shall be there. | shall bring
all the evidence to this city, as it is
here that we expect the case to center.
We have definitely settled on no sus-
pect as yet. We are giving scrutiny

in custody. Personally 1 hardly think
he had any connection with Mrs. Stan
ford's death. On the trip back with
