MRS. CHADWICK SENTENCED.
Famous Confidence Operator Gets Ten
Years in Prison.

Cleveland Ohio, March 2S.-Unless
the higher court interferes, Mrs. Cas-
sic l.. Chadwick will spend the greater
part of the next ten years in the Ohio
State Penitentiary. A sentence of ten
years was imposed upon her by Judge
Robert w. Taylor in the United States
District Court yesterday. Mrs. Chad
wick was convicted on seven counts
and sentenced upon six counts. For
four of these counts a sentence of two
years each was imposed. Upon two
counts a sentence of one year each
was imposed, making a total sentence
of ten years.
Az soon as the sentence was pro-
nounced Attorney Dawley, counsel for
Mrs. Chadwick, took exceptions to the
sentences upon each count except the
first. The defense intends to make the
claim that the court cannot impose
separate sentence for each count; that
the law applied to the general charge.
instead of each incident of a general
charge. The various counts of the in
dictments are considered by the de-
Tense to refer only to details of the
general offense. This point will also
be contested in the higher court, as
will the other points of the Chadwick
trial which resulted in her convictions.

The lady was masked, which be-

CHAPTER x.
A Bevy of lnsoIent Youths.


At last.I was in London. Unnum
bered the multitude of the good, and
the bad, and the lukewarm that have
pressed the brown bosom of this old
town. Perpetually recurring and re-
curing were the common griefs and
miseries of noble, commoner, and va
grant. which have caused their blood
and tears to flow. Here tragedy and
comedy have stalked side by side;
tear to-day-a laugh >to-morrow.
Clamp, clamp, clamp. have sounded
the tread of infinite feet along these
narrow byways; ambling in sandled
shoon, strutting in leather buskin,
striding in clouted brogues, since the
time the Romans encircled it with
wall entered by its four gates, down
to our own King Charles.
We put up at the Blue Boar in Hol-
born. Gil preferred the Tabard in
Southwark as being ,ne inn best
known to him. 1t suited me, how
ever. to be in the midst of the life
| of the town. Nowhere was there 70
| be found more noise, bustle excite
ment. even wickedness, than in the
vicinity of this old inn. 1t had this
| advantage, also, that the fashionable
ness of Westminster was not far off;
and the Strand-the main artery of
London-over which a flood of life
continually flowed, was equally near.
Temple Bar separated the Strand
from the Fleet, division of the city,
and Westminster Temple Bar, with
its grim and CHASTITY exterior, where
there was always some awful token
of the ftful changes of the times
here the noble barb, gilded coach, or
sedan chair of the rich. rubbed the
fustian coat of the apprentice and
rags of the begSar.
The first few days we stayed quiet
ly at the inn. Our rooms became like
pandemonium, with the various
tradespeople showing their wares.
One and another had no;sed it about
that l was q man of means; they
were like swarm of bees after the
honey. Chairs, beds, tables, every
thing the room contained, was lit
tered with finery, and I made selec-
tions for an outfit, which should be
beftting my position, yet not too
gaudy.
I ordered many suits of uncut vel
vet and satin. Waistcoats also of
hues as many as Joseph coat
Gil, during these proceedings in
which | was as fastidious as fop,
strutted back and forth, pooling at
my, vanity, yet secretly amused at it
all. He never varied his dress of
green wJrsted with its belted doublet
such an one as Robin Hood no doubt
wore when he passed beneath the
trees in Sherwood forest. His only
ornament was his sword, as indis
pensable to him as any member OF
his body; as an esquire he had the
right to bear one.
| now began my career as a man OF
fashion about the town, entering into
all its dissipation except the passion
of love; there | was held in leash by
pair of blue eyes.
Never a petticoat fluttered past me
but l thought | saw some resemblance
to my mistress, and my heart would
leap into my mouth SO as to well-nigf
choke me. Sometimes it was in the
curve of cheek: the way the curls
FELL about dmpled neck; the flicker
of tapering fingers in the lifting of 8
an ankle set in a well-made bott; anC
so led myself wild goose chases aft
er this one and that one-all de
lusions, which came to naught.

ORIGIN OF THE JERSEY.

The thousands of men and women
engaged in milking the mild-eyed Jer-
seys seldom stop to ask where these
gentle cattle came from. Yet they
have history and long one. Nor
mandy in France is land of romance,
which has figured extensively in song
and story. Who has not heard the
"Chimes of Normandy" the beauti-
full opera in which is set forth the
plaintive Legend of the Bells" the
barcarolle of the boatman, the saucy
music of the gossiping Serpolette, the
love-making ballads of Germaine and
the queer doings of old miser Gaspard
in the depths of the haunted chateau.
1t was in this land of merry peasants,
of moonlight and mystery, that the
little Jersey cattle were first known
and there Jeanette and Jean Pierot
and Shouchon learned to love them
for their soft tempers and generous
abundance of milk 1t is not known
exactly when the Jerseys were import
ed to England, but it was probably
during the first half of the eighteenth
century. About that time they were
found in the Channel Isles between
France and England, from one of
which they have ever since been
known. A French writer in I845
gave an interesting explanation as to
how the Jersey obtained its superior
ity to other cattle as a dairy animal.
1t is attributed to the fact that few
farmers constantly attended to raising
stock from cows of the milking quail
ties, which attention prosecuted for
long number of years in a small coun-
try like Isle of Jersey, where such
superior qualities would soon be
known, led eventually to the excel
lence of milking and butter yielding
properties in the race at large. In
other words it was by careful selec-
tion and breeding, which by heredity
gradually centered the good qualities
and transmitted them to descendants.
This could not have been done in any
extended country and thus the breed
originally coming from Normandy,
was greatly improved in its new home
in Jersey.
The Jerseys were imported into the
United States during the last century,
but it was not until comparatively
recent date that they were used ex-
tensively. With the extension of our
dairy interests they were found in
comparable for the purpose, their
marked popularity being the quanti-
ty and quality of cream produced from
the consumption of given quantity
of feed. Their diminutive size also
makes in their favor, especially with
those in cities and towns who desire
to keep COW and have only limited
space for her accommodation. The
lady of the house may almost store
ner COW IN the box devoted to her
bonnet or house her in a dry goods
box, whereas the heavier cattle need
range and stable room not to be had
except on farms. Normandy still has
her pippins and fine cider, besides
some other good things to boast Of
but great was her loss when she al
lowed the producers of the golden
cream to escape to the shores of Eng
land and the dairy farms of far distant

FEES OF LAWYERS.

The vast majority of lawyers do no
better than make fair living, and II
an average could be made it would be
found that large number must earn
ridiculously small sums. An estimate
recently made showing that there are
not FIVE lawyers in New York who
made 500, 900 a year, not ten who
make $3.50 not fifteen who make
$50, 900 and not twenty-five VINO
make $4,000 is probably not Tar
wrong.
"Above all things" a successful
lawyer remarked not long ago, "nev-
er take lawyers word about his
salary. He doesn't mean to prevarl-
cate, but the appearance of prosperity
is so large part of his capital that
'blufing' about his income is a natural
habit. l can tell you what make
in year, but shouldn't expect you
to believe it, and shouldn't wish
YOU to believe it, because it probably
would be unconsciously exagger-
ated.
So many different things influence
a lawyers charges that it is hard tor
an outsider to even guess at his IN
come. One man has an invariable
rule which he tries to carry out and
thinks he succeeds, although he new
er has been able to carry it out ex-
actly in his whole career. He tries
to estimate the tire he spends on
each case and to charge accordingly,
gradually increasing his fee as his
time has'grown more valuable. An
other lawyer considers how the work
is done. If it is done in great hur-
ry, forcing him to drop other cases
and to work at night as well as dur
ing the day to complete it, he charges
much more than for case that hts in
easily with his other labor. Still an
other. a conscientious man, who robs
himself for fear of being suspected OF
robbing some one else, figures care
fully the value of his services to his
client and reckons his fee upon results
more than upon Time OF upon liS Pel'
sonal inconvenience.
But there are thousands of cases for
which no rule can properly adjust the
fee. One example will serve. An
action was taken a year ago by one
man against another for $50, 900, and
the defendant came one day to bis
lawyer to say that he wasn't willing
to meet the matter in court and that
the lawyer might pay the money to
the man who had brought the action.
The lawyer had been interested in
the case, and he asked his client to
let him settle the matter in his own
way. The client acquiesced on con-
dition that the case was not to be
brought to court. A few weeks later
the plaintiff withdrew the action, as
the lawyer had foreseen that nc
would. How much ought the law
yer to have charged his client for
I this service? The lawyer had spent
little time over the case, but he had
saved the man $50, He sent a
bill for So, 500, which was promptly
and gratefully paid.-Leslie's MagG-
zine.
